One hour ago, the Wasteland Base City.

...

This base city near the wasteland belongs to the urban complex. It was previously attacked by the Zerg Air Force going north and has been under military control since then.

The free people in the city have almost escaped, and the rest have been forced to be recruited by the managers to urgently expand their official combat power.

The Wasteland Base City is built at a key pass in the North Temperature Border Mountains. It faces the wasteland, backed by green fields, and is on both sides of the mountain peaks. It is a bridgehead on the edge of the North Temperature Border. Only here is the United City where there is room for large troops to pass through.

It was originally engaged in waste and ore business with the wasteland remnants, which was considered a relatively backward and poor margin in the urban circle. Moreover, it was just a small base city, and its size was far inferior to Hurricane City in a medium base city.

Because of this, the official of Wasteland City chose another path of revival that coexisted with risks and opportunities: turning the city into a fortress completely. Anyway, all the residents in the south have died, and they have no waste to collect.

As long as this bridgehead located on the border becomes an indispensable frontline stronghold, the city will receive endless support from other cities.

Since they don’t want the war to burn outside their city, then support the Wasteland City. If the Zergs are stopped here, the insect tide will not rage in the north.

If the wasteland city that guards the pass cannot be defended, then the north is convenient and has no pass to defend, and the Zerg will expand unscrupulously. I believe that all urban officials will not let it go.

It turns out that the manager of Wasteland City bet right.

With the means of mutual death, all forces in the joint city sent representatives and reached a military agreement with the Wasteland City.

All parties supply supplies to the Wasteland City based on the output of each city, and use it to arm the Wasteland City into a veritable fortress.

Then, based on the proportion of supplies supplied, each base city can garrison troops in the city and take over some of the city defenses if it promises not to seize power.

It’s not that the mentally retarded person divides the city wall defense zone according to distance, but that the entire city wall is left to one force to distinguish it on different projects.

For example, the defense soldiers on the main city wall are composed of the Wasteland City Guards and control all the city's forts; the armored forces are composed of Eternal City, the air force is composed of Snow City, and the long-range strike forces are composed of Lieyang City; some other cities are dedicated to material transportation, some are dedicated to field medical treatment, some are dedicated to reconnaissance, and some are dedicated to maintenance...

It is considered to reflect the strengths of each city in its battlefield functions, which is more scientific.

The command unit is responsible for the commander of the Wasteland City and the joint staff composed of representatives. The commander has the power to command the battlefield, and the staff is responsible for strategic decision-making.

Because the fortress’s command system is jointly constructed by all parties, the communication mechanisms at all levels and departments naturally became the top priority, and the test was completed first.

Although it took several days to delay the poisoning incident in the middle, the defense preparations for the Wasteland Fortress have been basically completed.

The original defense wall of the Wasteland Fortress was widened and raised. At the same time, a new fortress wall connecting the mountains on both sides was built outside the city, equipped with complete fortifications and sufficient material reserves, which were enough to fight a fierce war of attrition.

Behind the fortress wall is a continuous military base, full of armored armies supported by Eternal City.

As the well-deserved boss of United City, Eternal City has a very strong financial resources, so the regular troops sent also show that they are rich and powerful. A total of 400 standard-type ground battleships occupy the entire valley!

The space inside the fortress was left to warehouse groups, airports, artillery troops and towering forts.

The airport is provided to the Snow City take-off and landing fighter troops. There are more than 1,200 fighter jets that have already transferred. Although they are both standard models, all types are complete.

The artillery troops in Lieyang City were also placed in the fortress because these 300 plasma cannon launch vehicles were all light armor units, with low defense capabilities and needed friendly guards.

In order to satisfy the shooting range, the turrets in the city are all placed on towering pedestals. Some stand on the walls, while others stand on the top of the fortress building, arranged in a staggered manner.

There are two logistics centers such as maintenance, transportation, and treatment. The smaller one is in the fortress, and a larger logistics base is built in hills 20 kilometers away from the north, guarded by nearby base cities.

In addition, the main fleets of each city have been prepared and are on standby in their respective military bases and can support the front line at any time.

This is the best that United City can do at present, and hope that the bugs can leave more time for humans.

...

Unfortunately, just as Wang Fei witnessed the teleportation window unfolding, a harsh alarm sounded in the command hall of the Wasteland Fortress.

"Red Alert! A large number of Zerg Air Forces were detected flying over the air cordon and attacking us. It is recommended to take off the fighter troops immediately to fight!"

The military representatives in the General Staff immediately calmed down and looked at the elderly humans sitting in the head.

"Commander Leiden, according to the previous agreement, our troops will be handed over to you to command, and I hope you can be worthy of your reputation."

The representative of Eternal City, sitting at the other end of the conference table, stared at the commander of the Wasteland City and said seriously.

Leiden is a veteran who defeated the strong by weak in the border conflict with the empire. He is one of the few commanders in the United City who have rich combat experience and have achieved brilliant results. He is famous.

"Well, then I'll try the bite of bedbugs next.

But the ugly saying goes ahead, our Wasteland City is fighting with all the lives of citizens. Failure means death, so I know very well what I am doing. Don’t talk to me just because your soldiers die, otherwise everyone will be done together!

Can it be guaranteed?"

After hearing this, representatives of various forces snorted coldly with dark faces, which was considered as a default.

Leiden immediately stood up and walked to the circular podium to stand, waved his big calloused hand:

"All defenders have entered the first-level combat readiness! Get ready to start the war!"

...

United Empire, capital.

"Marson, the defense line of the Wasteland Base City has been connected with the Zerg."

“How is our border situation?”

"We have activated the [Wall of Death] activated before His Majesty's departure. The Zerg troops appearing on the border were severely damaged by the Wall of Death and have now retreated.

But the Air Force is still fighting the RAF in the border airspace.”

"Well, Your Majesty's judgment is correct. No living organism can compete with the energy of the Wall of Death. Let the two grand dukes strengthen their defenses in their jurisdiction and ensure the safety of the energy lines that supply the Wall of Death!"

"Yes, Marshal!"

"The Air Force will maintain a balanced power before the intensity escalates. Do not invest in decisive forces too early. Priority is given to testing the virtuality and reality of the Zerg's troops. Send a few more batches of stealth exploration aircraft to go deeper and find the main nests of the Zerg."

"I understand! Where is the Iron Blood Alliance?"

"Is the Iron Blood Alliance? Let them exchange intelligence for war supplies. After discovering valuable targets, they can send Shadow Guards to assist, disrupt the rear of the Zerg at the minimum cost, and they cannot always be so unscrupulous."

"Learn... Marshal, the latest information, we lost the communication with His Majesty 3 minutes ago!"

"Um?"

The Marshal of the Empire, who had been keeping his head down, finally raised his head and asked seriously:

"What's going on?"

"According to the rewards sent by the Forward Camp, the base energy suddenly recovered 3 minutes ago. I thought it was the operation of His Majesty's expedition team, but the passage to the underground was closed and locked. The connection with the underground outpost was completely cut off, and the forward camp could not open the gate."

"Send a rescue team immediately and another Royal Squadron to stand by. Although your Majesty is prepared, we must prevent the situation from deteriorating further and beware of Zergs or human enemies nearby.

In addition, hide this news for the time being, especially don’t tell those two grand dukes.”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

The adjutant took the order and left, leaving the imperial marshal who was pondering at the window.

"Your Majesty, what are you pursuing..."

...

Cold zone, China Base City.

"Chief, in an emergency, the Zerg suddenly became an army and launched a fierce attack on the wasteland base city of the remnants. The battle is still ongoing. Both sides have invested a lot of troops, and there is already a meat grinder there!"

After hearing this, Zhong Mingzhao's eyes froze, he looked at the construction site in the snow and snow outside with concern, and said seriously:

"We have less time left, so we will give priority to the construction of military facilities. Later, the living facilities will be transformed to transform the vacant carriers to even out the population of those crowded ships. Everyone should try to overcome them.

In addition, contact the survivors about participating in the war, whether they like us or not, we will go!

We have too many new recruits. Even if half of them are killed or injured, we must train the troops. At the same time, we must try our best to complete the oracle tasks and earn commissions to feed back to the base.

There is no time left for us to develop slowly!"

The staff officer nodded solemnly, indicating that he had understood Zhong Mingzhao's meaning and turned around and left.

Then Zhong Mingzhao received another communication. After hanging up, he pondered for a long time.

The contact was interrupted... The Empire seemed to be powerless... Is it possible to rely on the young man who is good at creating miracles?

I hope he can break through the insect siege. The Republic no longer has the extra energy...

...

Underground ruins, Outpost 2.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The Imperial Army guarding the traffic hall suddenly heard a sound of a circuit breaker closing, and then the black hall was lit up by the sudden light.

Your Majesty's expedition successfully restored the electricity!

The soldiers were about to be happy, but then they heard a series of heavy "bang bangs", which were the sound of the gates of the overhead passage closing.

There are more than one gate closed, but there are only 7 gates!

The passages of the upper and lower ruins were completely sealed, and the pipes and cables that were originally connected from above were also cut off by the gate, and sparks fell into the middle of the camp, shocking the surrounding defenders.

What's going on!

The remains were blocked!

What followed was a communication interruption, whether it was on the ground or with the expedition.

The ventilation duct is broken, the energy cable is broken, the water pipe is broken, the material passage is broken...
