Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country!

Chapter 220 220· “Invasion.”

February 8, 2025, 7:25 a.m. Eastern Time - nearly a day has passed since the first wave of alien disaster broke out.

One of the effective answers to how to hate a song you love is to set it as your wake-up alarm.

It was clearly the title song of a band that she once liked very much, but now it was as terrifying as a reminder in Chi Yan's ears.

What's even scarier is that it's already the last round of ringtones - Chi Yan's habit of setting alarm clocks is a little different. For example, just like now, if she has to get up at 7:25 at the latest, she will even wake up at 6:30. When she wakes up, she sets an alarm clock. The purpose of this alarm clock is of course not to get her up, but to wake her up, and then she will feel comfortable and realize that she still has about an hour to go to sleep and get some sleep.

Before the era of natural disasters, Chi Yan's happiest moment was when she suddenly woke up from a sleep break. She checked her alarm clock and found that it was only two or three in the middle of the night, and there was still plenty of time to sleep.

Therefore, there are also the most unhappy moments - after waking up naturally, I find that there is only one minute left before my alarm clock rings and it is time to get up. Of course, the most terrifying thing is when I wake up naturally, I find that I have overslept. .

Chi Yan originally thought that everyone was like this, but after sharing her alarm clock settings with her roommate Zou Wanhong, the other party was extremely shocked and puzzled because she could not understand the meaning of this kind of 'returning sleep', and even more so. Unable to derive happiness from it, she preferred to sleep until 7:25 at a time.

Thinking of this, Chi Yan didn't know what was going on with Zou Wanhong on the other side of the ocean. She didn't know if she still liked to sleep enough at once. If she was still sleeping now, forget it, it had nothing to do with her.

What concerns me is that if I don’t get up, I will be doomed.

Chi Yan had already stayed in bed before. Although Chi Yan was reluctant to hear this 'waking up song', she finally sat up, changed her clothes and walked downstairs.

Today there is only my father downstairs, and my mother has already left for work. After all, if her mother were here, she would try to wake herself up together with the alarm clock.

"Yanyan, are you up? The porridge is in the pot. Go scoop it out yourself. It should still be hot, so be careful."

The father who was reading a technical tutorial book looked up and said something to Chi Yan, then lowered his head and continued reading - he seemed to be trying to get a certificate that could increase his salary recently, so he started 'learning' again.

"Yeah, okay." If it were breakfast made by her mother, Chi Yan might be picky and put forward her own opinions, but Chi Yan would not do that for her father's breakfast.

——Because the requirement has become that as long as you can eat and stay alive.

Although the technical content of this pot of porridge is relatively low, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. Chi Yan is still very satisfied.

After a brief chat with her father, Chi Yan began to browse her mobile phone and took advantage of this time to wait for the porridge to cool down a little.

Chi Yan is browsing short videos at the moment, but there is still a big gap between the current short videos and the short videos before the era of natural disasters. There is very little entertainment content, and there is basically no pure entertainment content.

Most of them share the current situation of the country in a way that is more easily accepted by young people, such as what new developments are in science and technology, and when can this technology be applied to people's livelihood; for example, what battle reports have been returned from the front line, How many alien species have been eliminated? In the era of natural disasters, what are some tips for daily life that can improve efficiency or save materials.

Chi Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with this short video, which had almost no entertaining content.

Now that the alien tide has really broken out, the Eastern soldiers on the front lines are doing their best to ensure a good living environment for the Eastern people in the rear. Under the high pressure of the alien tide, casualties have begun to occur.

Although the purpose of the soldiers is that the people in the rear can live and work in peace and contentment, times have changed after all. There is no longer the capital to entertain themselves to death. People have and must know the more important situation now.

The people in front are bleeding and the people behind are enjoying themselves ignorantly. This is inappropriate no matter how you think about it. It is really unfair to those who are struggling on the front line.

"Turn your voice down, don't affect your dad's study." Chi Yan's father joked with a smile, "Oh, are you a student or am I a student?"

"A little bit, I know." Chi Yan stuck out her tongue, then put her phone on the table, took out a Bluetooth headset from her pocket and prepared to put it on.

But at this moment, Chi Yan's cell phone and the cell phone placed aside by Chi Yan's father both buzzed.

"Citizens of Lingnan, please note that a group of flying mutants are expected to arrive at your location in about twenty minutes. The danger level is currently rated as D. It is impossible to break through the defense lines set up by Lingnan City. However, please temporarily stop all outdoor activities. Find a nearby bunker to take shelter, and wait for the military to eliminate the threat and notify you before going out for action.

Lingnan citizens, please note that it is expected..."

The red warning screen and the female voice coming from the hand conveyed this message to the two of them.

Chi Yan and Chi Yan's father looked at each other. After a brief daze, they both stopped laughing and became serious. One put his Bluetooth headset back, and the other closed the book in front of him and turned up the volume on his mobile phone. After listening to it again at the highest level, they didn't even bother to drink the porridge. They both came to the window in tacit understanding and looked up at the sky.

But the sky was cloudless at this time, and the Bell of Disaster was extremely clear in it. There was no flying alien species visible, but thinking about it, it would take twenty minutes to arrive, so it was normal that we couldn't see it now.

But it can be seen that there are many people in the surrounding buildings who have the same idea as the Chi family and his daughter, and they are all watching from the windows.

And those citizens who had gone out naturally received the news and changed their direction one after another.

Because the danger level is only D, there is no need to hide in a professional air raid shelter like facing an air raid. If nothing else, a threat of this level cannot really invade Lingnan City. As long as you don't go out, then Everyone started to rush home.

If citizens cannot return home within twenty minutes, or those who are at home but are worried because it is their first time facing a foreign species, they will choose to gather in the nearest public building and seek official asylum. .

Chi Yan's cell phone rang again at this time, but this time it was her mother's call. After Chi Yan picked up the call, the two of them informed each other that they were safe.

Mother is already at work and has no intention of going home - as a civil servant, to be honest, if the alien species invades the building where Chi Yan's mother is located, it will not be even a bit safer than their home. The call is just to I just want to remind the two people at home to pay attention to their safety and never go out.

But in the end, they were reassured and told that Lingnan City's defense system had been activated and it was almost impossible to pose any threat this time.

"But this is not good news after all. Does this mean that our front line has reached the limit of endurance and can no longer stop all the alien species? Zhonghe City will not collapse, right?" After hanging up the phone, Chi Yan's father said worriedly.

It is an exaggeration to say that it is already the eighth day of the alien disaster, but Chi Yan, or most people in Lingnan City, have not seen any flying or ocean type with their own eyes until now. He is an alien species, and all knowledge about alien species is through a screen.

"Probably not, dad." Chi Yan said with more confidence:

"The official said yesterday that in order to resist the alien species, even if the number of alien species surges, Dongguo is confident that they will be killed in a very short period of time.

But the current alien species is different from the previous alien species. After the previous alien species was born, after seeing them humans in Zhonghe City, they attacked them regardless, and were then eliminated. In this case, They simply cannot go anywhere else.

But now, the intelligence of the alien species has improved very quickly. Now those alien species that are born from the nest and have intelligence, after seeing so many corpses of the same kind under the nest, as well as the humans who are watching eagerly, and how easily the weapons in the hands of humans can destroy the alien species, they It will suppress its instinct to hunt humans and choose to escape at high altitude.

This kind of interception occurs at high altitude, and the intelligent alien species are too scattered and are not born collectively. Using missiles to track and eliminate them is a bit wasteful. Therefore, for the sake of efficiency and other aspects, the focus in Zhonghe City is mainly on those numerous aliens. Intelligent and retarded alien species.

Furthermore, there are more than half of the hundred gentlemen, and they are still in Zhonghe City. If Zhonghe City has really reached its limit, they will definitely evacuate.

But one thing that can be expected is that in the future, alerts like today should appear more and more frequently.

Today is just the first time. In addition, Lingnan City’s defense system has not really dealt with flying alien species, and there is still uncertainty, so the warning is more serious. When you become more familiar with it in the future, I estimate that this kind of D-level threat will Maybe there won't be such a formal notification. "

Lingnan City's defense system has faced ground-based alien species. In one week, enough alien species ran from the coast to outside the high wall of Lingnan City. However, the number was relatively small, and they were basically all unintelligent alien species. It was wiped out in an instant without causing any waves.

"Is that so? This makes me feel more at ease. I'm really afraid that we won't be able to hold on." After hearing this, Chi Yan's father nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he patted him with a smile in a somewhat complimentary tone. He patted his daughter on the shoulder and said, "You know so much now."

Chi Yan chuckled. The short videos during this period were not for nothing. In the non-entertainment content, if you suppress the boring content, you can indeed get a lot of useful knowledge from it and improve your horizons.

"Mainly, Dad, I just saw that some people have already arrived at the weapons depot. I almost thought we were going to face the alien species with knives and guns. To be honest, it's a bit scary at this age." Chi Yan My father pointed out the window at a few people wearing official uniforms standing upright at the door of a building, and whispered.

On the now deserted streets, the presence of these people is still very conspicuous.

The building behind him that has remained closed for a long time is an alternative 'public facility' built after the era of natural disasters, a civilian weapons depot.

Although the name is civilian, the civilian weapons arsenal contains hot weapons that can be officially used on the battlefield. A large number of firearms and bullets are stored in it, but those are particularly powerful or the latest "exotic stones" There are still no technological weapons in it.

The condition for it to be activated is when alien species invade the city on a large scale.

Now almost all the citizens of the right age in the East Kingdom have personally tried to use modern thermal weapons. The same is true for Chi Yan and her father. When they were in the ice disaster, they experienced the assembly and use of firearms. and fired a magazine.

In the period following the Ice Disaster, the Eastern Kingdom would regularly organize Eastern people to practice using these modern weapons.

After all, the Eastern Kingdom hopes that all the people can be soldiers. When the aliens break through the defense line created by the disciple soldiers one day, the Eastern people will not become the chopping board fish and meat for the aliens to slaughter, but they will still have the power to fight back.

Physical training never stops, this is the basis, but it is undeniable that if you can use hot weapons to fight back, why use cold weapons to fight back.

A person's exhausted punches and kicks may sometimes be less effective than a bullet.

But after all, Dongguo did not directly distribute firearms and ammunition to every family, because the superiors believed that this would eventually become a hidden danger and become a time bomb one day in the future, affecting social security.

Therefore, even in the era of natural disasters, even if all the people are soldiers, guns and ammunition must still be strictly controlled, and any person or unit is absolutely prohibited from privately possessing them.

When the day comes when everyone needs to hold guns and ammunition, these civilian weapon depots will be opened, allowing nearby citizens to collect weapons and rely on themselves to survive when official protection is not available.

But Chi Yan doesn't want that day to come, because the opening of the civilian weapons depot means that things have gone beyond the control of Dongguo's senior officials.

When the day comes when this civilian weapons arsenal is opened, the people of the East will not have much hope of survival. Because that means Dongguo can no longer defend it, right?

"It should be like in a drill, using the worst-case scenario to speculate on the development of things." Following her father's words, Chi Yan also looked at the upright public officials who stood amidst the sound of the alarm, and said , "It's just a D-level threat. It will definitely not reach this stage. Dad, don't scare yourself."
