  Chapter 688 The most important task

  Return countdown 96:39:01.

  Midnight.

  North of City No. 10, the Li's Federation Army camp was in darkness, and all tents were covered with dark green hay as a cover.

  In modern warfare, sometimes long-range firepower units can measure the coordinates of the headquarters through satellite photos, and then bomb accurately.

   Therefore, if you want to win, you must be extra cautious.

   Further north, there was the roar of artillery fire from time to time.

  The federal civil war has begun, and this is the front line.

   This Li family's troops were stationed in a small valley, and in a certain cave, Li Yunmu, Li's frontline commander, was having a battle meeting with Li Changqing.

   "The battle on the front line is tight. Our remaining two field divisions are still on the march. The strategic location chosen by the opponent is very tricky. The forward base must advance another 130 kilometers to the north to ensure logistical supplies..."

A senior colonel said: "According to everyone's analysis, the Age of God is going to use that city to engage in biological pollution. Now the satellite image shows that there are only three districts left in City No. 10, and it will be a matter of time before it falls. If the taboo ACE-022 is really there In the hands of Jindai, the massive rat swarm will even surround us from behind."

  Now, the troops of the Li family and the Qing family are all assembled in the north of No. 10 city, and a small group is in the south to prevent the Chen family from suddenly sending troops.

  The Age of Gods attacked across the board in the north.

  If someone controlled millions or tens of millions of Rat Tide at this time, starting from City No. 10, then the coalition forces of the Qing and Li clans might be surrounded by the Rat Tide and the Age of Gods troops.

  At that time, the troops of the Li family and the Qing family will be in desperation.

The senior colonel said to Li Changqing: "Sir, now is not the time to hesitate. I know what I'm saying is cruel, but the safest way is to use cruise missiles to destroy the entire city, even if it becomes a taboo place. And we can't take the risk of being surrounded by rat swarms."

Li Yunmu was thoughtful: "According to the news that Qing Chen passed on to the Patriarch and the Privy Council, the person who manipulated this incident is very likely to be the God Dai Qianchi after the successful seizing of the house. No matter what his identity is now, it must be in 10 In city No. 10, destroying city No. 10 will not only destroy Rat Tide, it will also kill him. This matter is very simple, 6 cruise missiles are enough to destroy there, and there will be no anti-aircraft fire interception, which relieves us hidden danger."

  Li Changqing was silent.

  At this time, Li Yunwei, the chief of staff of the group army, said: "However, after the missile is thrown down, all the civilians there will die. Can we wait for the defense line of the lower three districts to collapse before launching it?"

Li Yunmu shook his head: "It's impossible for them to survive. With the demigod-level biological pollution and the secret manipulation of the Age of Gods, no one will leave alive. Now you think that Qianchi God Generation will attack the third district after controlling the rat tide." , but if he didn't attack the lower three districts, but let all the rat tide out of the city at the first time, would it be too late? Changqing, do you believe that he will perform a miracle? You want to take the lives of 220,000 soldiers on the front line, bet Can he create a miracle? Right now the rat swarm is still in the city, and it is easy to kill, but if they are scattered in the wilderness, they cannot be killed."

  From the perspective of military strategy, Li Yunmu is not wrong.

  If there is no miracle, the rat tide will inevitably become a serious problem for the entire Federation. At this time, even if a field brigade is sent to fight in the streets, it may not be able to do anything about the rat tide.

   Once bombarded, it is their optimal solution.

  As a front-line commander, what he should do most is to relieve his worries, and he cannot gamble with 220,000 soldiers.

  Even if Qingchen is there, even if he is Li's independent director.

This is the same as Qing Chen making Kunlun and the Parents' Association carry out the plan. Qing Chen can be ruthless, and so can Li Yunmu. No one is right. Li Yunmu will feel guilty every time he thinks that he ordered the bombing of City 10. This kind of guilt will be with them for life.

   But as a commander, he should have such an awareness.

  Li Changqing pursed his lips and remained silent for five minutes. His palms were bleeding from his fingernails. Finally, he said, "Second."

  This is the cruelty of the times.

  However, at this moment, a combat staff officer ran in: "Mr. Qing requests communication."

   Li Yunmu and others all looked over, Li Changqing said: "Come into the encrypted channel."

The next moment, a holographic projection lit up in the dark command post, and that light blue figure was the newly appointed commander of the Qing Federation Army, Qing Yu. missile?"

  Li Yunmu was stunned for a moment: "We saw through satellites that only the lower three districts of city No. 10 have not fallen."

Qingyu continued with a blank expression: "The boss said that you might do this kind of thing, so I want to inform you, and wait for another 4 days. At that time, it will be the day when the time walker returns, and Qing Chen will definitely pass it on through the time walker." With new news, we will know at that time whether he has the ability to solve this problem. Don't worry, Shendai Qianchi has no time to complete the control of the rat tide in such a short time, so if the next time he returns and travels, Qing Chen has not yet The way to solve the rat tide, our Qing family will blow up city 10 by ourselves, and let Shendai Qianchi bury all the dead with him."

  The Li family's headquarters fell silent. The boss Qing Yu was talking about should be the head of the Qing family.

   After Qingyu was transferred within the consortium, he became the frontline commander of the Federal Army, which should also be the handiwork of the Patriarch.

  The other party guessed so firmly that they were going to bomb City No. 10 with missiles, and asked Qingyu to make an appointment with them for the last four days.

   But the key point of this question is that everyone knows that there is only one reason why the Qing family does not want to bomb City No. 10, and that is that they don't want Qing Chen to die under artillery fire.

   After all, apart from this reason, no one can think of any other reason.

  However, that Patriarch of the Qing family hasn’t been out on Ginkgo Mountain for ten years, and he didn’t even make a move against the shadow of the Chen family and Lu Dao’s siege, or his actions were extremely secretive.

   This time, Qing Yu represented the will of the Patriarch, and came out with a clear-cut stand to protect Qing Chen.

   This is unbelievable. Is this still the Patriarch of the Qing family in their impression?

  Li Yunmu frowned: "Since you care about his life and death, why don't you send troops to rescue him. Although the battle on the front line is tense, a consortium can definitely save a person with a field brigade."

   The rat tide cannot be eradicated, but it is not difficult to save a person.

  Qing Yu said coldly: "I just don't want him to die in a random disaster. If the rat wave really breaks through City No. 10, Qing's troops will give you the rear."

  Li Yunmu: "Now we have seen the situation in the city through satellites. Those people in the lower three districts alone can't stop the rat tide, so what are you waiting for?"

  Qingyu said: "I don't know what I'm waiting for, maybe I'm waiting for someone to create a miracle."

   As he spoke, Qingyu hung up the encrypted communication.

  Actually, what he didn't say was that he also asked the Patriarch why he didn't directly send an army to rescue, or let the Qing's troops go to relieve the siege of City 10.

  The main force of the Li family was restrained, but the Qing family had just entered the battlefield, so they had spare strength.

The head of the family replied: "If he died in this disaster, it means that he did not have the destiny to become the co-lord of the world. If he did not die, the people's hearts left in that disaster should be left to him, not to Qing."

   This head of the family is too vicious, and he doesn't seem to care about the lives of tens of millions of people in City 10 at all.

  Even this disaster was just a whetstone for Qing Chen in the eyes of Patriarch Qing.

  To be honest, Qingyu felt that if his father was like this, he would feel scared.

   Wait four more days.

   After four days, return and travel again. Qing Chen will let people pass on the information of whether the rat tide can be solved. If it can't be solved, then razing city 10 to the ground is responsible for the entire federation.

  …

  …

   Return countdown 48:02:01.

  On the streets of the fourth district of city No. 10, an elite combat team of 12 people is advancing rapidly. They are sprinkled with Fengjunhua pollen that can only be used in the forbidden land. Even the mice are not interested in seeing them.

   At the earliest time, Fengjunhua pollen was the patent of Huotang. At the beginning, people in the Federation didn’t even know why Huotang people could enter forbidden places without being attacked by wild animals and plants.

  Later, various financial groups also learned the secret of Fengjunhua pollen, and widely used this plant in the exploration of forbidden places.

  However, Fengjunhua has a very long growth cycle, so this thing is not easy to handle.

  At this time, this team was protecting a young man and was moving fast. When he entered the fifth area, the young man stood still. He casually summoned the shikigami ATS-006 Hannya, and continued to explore the way forward with the shikigami.

  This onmyoji is none other than Kamdai Yuncang, who disappeared from the Jindai Consortium for a month, and ATS-006 Hannya returned to the bridge after Kamdai Chichi's death, and is now summoned by Kamdai Yuncang.

  Seeing Shendai Yuncang fanning the smell of blood in front of his nose: "Catch a mouse."

  A soldier approached quickly, grabbed the mouse and handed it to him before the mouse could react.

  Looking at the speed, it seems to be a B-level genetic warrior.

   This is a special team composed of 12 B-level genetic fighters.

Jindai Yuncang carefully looked at the black mouse in his hand, and said in a low voice: "The 'Pro-Guardian' mice in the entire Fifth District have turned black, and even the hair on their belly has evolved into pure black. The army is done, it has eaten my corpse."

  Between the words, he even knew when the Rat Tide had fully evolved.

  Three Realms has been kept in his hands for so many years, no one knows how many superhuman experiments he conducted using the Three Realms, and how many superhumans fed mice without anyone noticing.

  At this moment, a living person said that the rats had eaten his own body, how terrifying it sounds.

  Shendai Yuncang smiled: "Sure enough, half the city is enough to sacrifice."

  A soldier said: "Yesterday we sprinkled Fengjun flower pollen to check the lower three districts. It has not been captured by the rat tide. Old ancestor, do you need us to help the rat tide open the gap?"

   "No need," Shendai Yuncang shook his head: "It's enough."

  Seeing Shendai Yuncang reaching deep in his hand, he stuffed a fat white ant queen into the black mouse's mouth.

   But seeing that the black mouse couldn't bite the queen ant no matter what, he could only allow the queen ant to be forced into its stomach.

  The next second, the mouse's originally scarlet eyes turned into circles of gray and white lines, and there seemed to be something wriggling in the eyes.

  Kamidai Yuncang said in a low voice: "Go back to the rat swarm, and when the rat king calls you, take the queen ant to it, and don't let it notice anything unusual."

   After speaking, he put the black mouse on the ground and let it run away slowly.

"Old ancestor," the genetic soldier said in a low voice: "We also observed yesterday that Qing Chen was also in the lower third district, but we saw that he often left the defense line and seemed to go to the city to pick up some refugees. We didn't get too close, It was observed with a telescope."

   When the whole city was plagued by rats, this secret army of Shendai Yuncang was able to rely on Feng Junhua to move around freely. They were like the dark side of the city, and no one knew that such an army existed.

  The genetic warrior continued: "If you want, we can ambush him on the road and kill him the next time he leaves the defense line of the lower third."

Jindai Yuncang thought for a moment: "Again, the rat wave is about to happen, and I don't want to cause trouble. I'm not sure if he knows I'm in this city, but even if he knows, it's hard to find me. Wait until the rat king is controlled , it’s too late for him to do anything, when the rat tide finishes eating the lower three districts, we can go north, and both the Li family and the Qing family will become turtles in the urn.”

  The genetic warrior lowered his head slightly: "The ancestor is wise."

Shendai Yuncang smiled and looked at the city where the bones were piled up with his hands behind his back: "The patriarch guessed my identity earlier, and I'm afraid he can't wait to do it, but I also want to let him know that his grandfather's methods are not only Shikigami. Let's go, the effect of Fengjun pollen is about to expire, go back to the station. We will see the result in 72 hours at the latest."

   After finishing speaking, this special force escorted Shendai Yuncang back to the fourth district.

They walked into a building, and then opened the elevator door with bare hands. Together, 13 people descended along the elevator cable to the unknown depths of the ground. It seems that there is a secret base there, and Jindai Yuncang has been hiding in it. There.

  The caramel bar in the fifth district is also designed in this way.

  …

  …

  Return countdown 26:59:21.

  The lower three districts ushered in a brief calm.

  In the past few days, a total of 21 rats have been welcomed in the lower three districts, and it is unknown how many people have died here.

  Sometimes the next rat wave arrives before the statistical work is finished.

  Everyone in the parent meeting was injured, and Xiaosan even wrapped his arms with bandages, covered in blood, and was in a panic.

  In the earliest days, people would use white cloth to cover the body of the dead, but now the white cloth can no longer be found, and even the bed sheets are not enough.

   Tragic.

   Qing Chen led the 89th and 90th time traveler teams back behind the defense line.

   "Sir!" A crisp voice shouted.

   Qing Chen looked up and said softly, "You're here."

   Qing Yi looked at Qing Chen's disfigured appearance, and his eyes turned red immediately: "Sir, hurry up and take a rest behind the defense line."

   "I'm fine," Qing Chen crossed the line of defense and touched Qing Yi's head: "Why did you cut your hair so short, it was so cute before."

Qingyi was a little embarrassed: "Li Ke said that the watermelon head looked silly, so I asked me to cut it to be the same as him. By the way, I summoned all the intelligence personnel from the Secret Service Division in City 10, and they are now On the defensive line, it can make Xiao San and the others a little more relaxed. I also went down the elevator shaft to see Lao Shen, but he said that he didn’t have to leave, you couldn’t find him, he just had a few days to relax, and now he drinks with candles every day I also went to Qinghe University, brought out all the teachers and students from that school, and then went to Hope Media, but the building was already empty, and I don’t know who picked them up.”

   Qing felt a little wronged as soon as he spoke. He has not been idle for a while these days, and has been doing things according to Qing Chen's plan. He didn't finish talking for a while about what he did.

  Qing Chen sat down against the sandbags on the defensive line: "Thank you for your hard work."

   With these four words, Qing Yi felt that all his efforts were enough.

  At this moment, the defense line of the lower three districts has been dilapidated, and outside the defense line are piled up like a hill of rat corpses. Qin Shuli is directing his family to pull the rat corpses into the defense line, skin them, gut them, and cook them.

  The family members were reluctant to eat it at first, they just thought it was disgusting, but then they couldn't bear it anymore.

  In the lower three districts, it seems that every household is eating cheap protein bars and cheap vitamins, and they can’t cook a few times a month.

  Originally, Xiao San wanted to collect cooking oil from the lower three districts and sprinkle it on the mud outside the defense line, and then use fire to burn the rat tide.

  As a result, everyone searched for a long time, but they couldn't find much cooking oil, and they could only defend three or four defense lines together.

  In the entire lower three districts, there are too few families who can keep food surplus for more than seven days at home.

  Later, the family members began to eat rats, and they were surprised to find that although the rat meat was firewood, it replenished energy very quickly after eating it.

  Zhang Mengqian, Chen Zhuoyu and others are putting a huge oil barrel on the fire, filling it with water, and cooking rat soup.

At this time, Keiichi said: "Sir, after you left the PCA CIA, Mr. Shadow transferred me there. I suppressed Shindai first, and then Kashima...Who would have thought that I finally cleared them all up. In the end, the group of grandsons of the God Generation actually wiped out City No. 10, isn't that what I did for nothing?"

  Qing Chen sat behind the line of defense, quietly listening to Qing Yi talking about his recent experience and talking about his troubles as a teenager.

   Qingyi was talking, when he looked up, he found that his husband had fallen asleep.

   You must know that Qing Chen is already a superhuman with first-line strength, and now there are only two demigods left in the entire Federation, Chen Yu and Li Shutong.

  Among these two, it would be very difficult for anyone to defeat Qing Chen. Even if he couldn't, Qing Chen could still run.

   This kind of master is absolutely full of energy, but it is such a master who will fall asleep unconsciously.

   "Mister is too tired," Qing Yi sighed, "Yang Xuyang, Qing Hua, carry Mister into the tent."

   Saying that, Qing looked at Zhang Mengqian: "Are you the new apprentice of the master? Call me brother."

  Zhang Mengqian froze for a moment, then stammered: "I...I'm not yet."

  Qing raised his eyebrows: "Come on."

   As he spoke, Qing Yi ran to the refugee pile and helped the wounded to bandage their wounds. Looking at the shocking scene in front of him, he felt that he had been living in a greenhouse before.

  The tide of rats became more violent every time.

  Qingyi didn't know, if Chichi Kamito controlled the Rat Tide, would he be able to hold on to the lower three districts.

   Those in the know understand that the real battle has yet to come.

   Two hours later, Qing Chen woke up.

   It's like having a precise biological clock in his mind that only allows him to sleep for so long.

  Seeing this, Qingyi asked, "Sir, do you still want to meet those time travellers?"

   "I'm not going," Qing Chen said sadly, "I've searched all the refuges, and there are only 90 of the 99 teams left."

   "Sir, you did your best," Keiichi said.

  Qing Chen shook his head, maybe earlier, if he didn't save the 600 refugees in District 5, all timewalkers could be saved.

   But the question is, can life really be such a choice?

  He stood up and said: "Qingyi, choose a team of secret agents who can be trusted and skilled, and prepare to follow me."

  Qing was taken aback for a moment: "Sir, where are you going?"

   "Kunlun hasn't come back yet, which means they are already trapped," Qing Chen said solemnly. Today was originally the time for them to return to the defense line of the lower three districts.

  But the Kunlun members did not come back.

  These people were sent to die because of an order from Qing Chen. Qing Chen had to go to the fifth district to take a look.

   "Sir, what mission did Kunlun receive?"

  Qing Chen was silent for a moment: "The most important task is to find the Mouse King, or the God Dai Chichi."
