Chapter 022: Defense Mission

Shen Ying's treatment was very successful.

In just half a month, the affected organs have returned to normal. Under the 24-hour operation of the all-round treatment device, the slime worm repair fluid, foundation worm visceral strengthening factor and other insect elements used to treat biological diseases contained in the instrument have been infiltrated and repaired, and more than half of them have disappeared.

Looking at his sister sleeping in the treatment device and listening to the doctor's medical report next to him, Shen Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"If this continues, your sister will be cured in less than a month." The doctor said, "But I suggest that you stay in the hospital for observation for about a month."

"Okay." Shen Zheng nodded. Anyway, this part of the money was taken by the legion, and he didn't have to bear any burden. Just let his sister stay. [

As for academics, it was not a problem. Shen Ying's academic performance has always been well-known. Even if she missed a semester, she could catch up. Besides, his identity is different now. Even if Shen Ying doesn't find a job in the future, he can still support her like a princess. Academics are not a burden.

"Captain." Fang He knocked on the door and walked in, whispering in Shen Zheng's ear. "The Corps called and asked you to return to the team. It seems there is an emergency."

"You stay." Shen Zheng nodded, "If Xiaoying doesn't have a reliable person to take care of her, I will always feel uneasy."

"No problem." Fang He nodded and smiled, his face slightly red, as if because of the word "reliable person".

After leaving the hospital and riding the jeep of the running bug back to the Corps headquarters, Shen Zheng was immediately taken to the highest meeting room of the military by Liang Long, the adjutant who was waiting for him in front of the barracks.

"What happened?" Shen Zheng asked as he walked.

"There is news from the 12th Military Region." The adjutant said, "There is a wave of strange insect tides that seem to pass through our country. The route they measured is close to our defense zone, so they asked us to be fully prepared."

"Strange insect tide?" Shen Zheng found this term incredible. Insect tides are insect tides, what does strange mean?

"Who knows." The adjutant shrugged, "That's what the higher-ups said. I don't understand what 'strange insect tide' means."

Entering the conference room, Shen Zheng found that the other formation leaders had already taken their seats. He hurriedly sat down on a chair next to Feng Yu.

"How is Shen Ying?" Liang Long, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, asked Shen Zheng with concern before the meeting.

"Very good." Shen Zheng nodded and smiled, "The invaded internal organs have recovered, and the number of cancer cells has now decreased by nearly two-thirds."

"That's good." Liang Long nodded, "Now let's have an emergency meeting. I think you have heard from my adjutant about the situation before, so I won't say more and assign tasks directly. The military region requires us to be cautious and only defend, because there are signs that this strange insect tide may not be targeting us, but just passing through, so we must not take the initiative to provoke them."

Then, Liang Long assigned tasks to each formation and once again emphasized the importance and precautions of these actions.

"Don't we have a new formation leader?" Carters suddenly spoke after Liang Long finished speaking, "This operation is an excellent opportunity to prove his strength and ability. Many soldiers have always objected to the rapid promotion of Formation Leader Shen Zheng. If Formation Leader Shen Zheng can perform well at this time, it will just be a good opportunity to shut them up. Corps Commander, I suggest you assign tasks to Formation Leader Shen Zheng as well."

"But he has no soldiers." Feng Yu immediately retorted. "Besides, our four formations have already guarded all the places to be guarded, so there is no need to waste more manpower."

"How is it a waste?" Carters shook his head, "And we haven't made 'perfect' preparations. Corps Commander, the order given by the military region is to make 'perfect' preparations."

"What do you mean by this?" Liang Long frowned and looked at him.

"Isn't there a small fortress 20 kilometers northeast of our town?" Carters said, "We can't ignore it as usual because it is close to the Stink Rat Mountain and is less attacked by the Zerg. You know, although the road there is tortuous, it can also lead to our town. It is very dangerous to have only two hundred soldiers guarding there without senior officers." [

"The stink rat grass on the Stink Rat Mountain can emit a special stench. Years of experience have told us that the Zerg hate this smell, so they rarely approach there." Feng Yu said, "Two hundred soldiers are enough. Why do senior officers need to suffer there?"

"Suffer?" Carters snorted, "The duty of a soldier is to protect his hometown and the people, and he is supposed to suffer. Why can't Shen Zheng, the honorary captain, suffer?"

"That's not what I mean." Feng Yu asked unhappily.

"That's enough." Liang Long waved his hand, "Don't fight over unnecessary things. Captain Carters is right. Since the military region wants us to make "perfect" defenses, we must also pay attention to this defense. Let's do this, Captain Shen Zheng, you take your existing soldiers into the northeast defense city and lead the defenders inside to defend."

"Yes!" Shen Zheng stood up and saluted.

"If there is nothing else, everyone should act immediately." Liang Long announced the end of the meeting.

Carters looked at Shen Zheng and smiled slightly: "Captain Shen Zheng, this is a good opportunity to prove yourself, don't miss it." After saying that, he stood up and left with the other two captains.

"What kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd?" Feng Yu frowned and looked at Carters's leaving back, muttering in a low voice.

"It's a little strange." Liang Long watched the three people leave before speaking. "Perhaps he suddenly realized that the right way to win over our genius is to win over him more."

"God knows." Feng Yu muttered.

"No matter what, he is right about one thing. This is an opportunity to prove himself." Liang Long said, "It is the safest place in the entire defense zone. There is basically no danger, and it is not where this insect wave will pass." On the route. You have just been promoted to honorary formation leader, and some people will be dissatisfied. If you can no longer participate in the operation, it will really attract criticism. "

"Please rest assured." Shen Zheng smiled, "Thank you too."

"Be careful yourself." Liang Long nodded.

After leaving the conference room, Shen Zheng immediately went to the camp where his subordinates were located, summoned soldiers, received weapons, and headed toward the northeast to defend the city.

He had heard of this northeastern defensive city before, and even heard of the famous Stinky Rat Mountain. The mountain was named after the stinking rat grass that emitted a stench like rat farts, and was loved by the people of Langya Town. Because several insect waves in history have continuously proved that the Zerg hate the smell of skunk grass.

Therefore, it was once suggested that stinking rat grass should be planted in the Bug Valley and in front of the northwest defensive city as a form of protection. But it turns out that although the Zerg hate this smell, they are not afraid of it. They will only avoid it when there is no need to pass through the stinky rat grass area. And when they deliberately attack human settlements, no matter how much stinky it is, Rat grass doesn't work either.

On the contrary, the defenders stationed there couldn't stand the smell because they had the power of insects implanted in their bodies, and were so smoked that they frowned and lost their fighting ability.

Shen Zheng had been curious before - how smelly is stinky ratgrass? Is it that unbearable?

When he arrived at the northeast garrison, he finally understood why there were no senior officers stationed here.

The smelly sage that covers a mountain exudes a mixed smell. Although the smell is not pungent, it is like a mixture of smelly ditches, smelly farts, rotten corpses and methane pools. The smell makes people feel like vomiting at any time.

When the wind blows from the southwest to the northeast, it is the happiest moment for the soldiers defending the city; when the wind blows from the northeast to the southwest, the soldiers defending the city feel the pain of blocking their noses and not breathing.

The one hundred soldiers who followed Shen Zheng were so smoked that they no longer wanted to breathe. [

What senior military officer would be willing to suffer like this?

"Sir, this is the situation." The two team captains in the city guard reported the situation in the city to Shen Zheng with smiles, and from time to time they secretly looked at the aid soldiers who were holding their breath and their faces flushed.

"Although we are not on the route of the insect tide, we still have to be careful." Shen Zheng endured the uncomfortable feeling and nodded.

"Sir, do you want to use a gas mask?" a team leader asked half-jokingly.

"No need." Shen Zheng shook his head, "Aren't you useless?"

"We have been stationed here for many years and are used to it." Another team leader shrugged with a so-called expression on his face.

Obviously, both team captains lacked respect for the "senior officials" in front of them. After all, they have been stationed here for many years, suffering hardships but never getting a chance to make meritorious deeds in battle. They can only fight a dozen insects that come here occasionally, and they are destined to stay here for the rest of their lives.

Nor are they afraid of punishment—how? Demoted? Okay, let's see who is willing to take over this stinky city guard and be the boring squad leader.

Shen Zheng looked at them, quickly figured out their psychology, and didn't think it was strange.

"Take me to check the weapons and equipment." Shen Zheng said.

Under the leadership of the two team captains, Shen Zheng visited the entire defensive city. The Northeastern defense city is not big, it is basically a small fortress. Originally there were only two squads stationed there, plus the squad brought by Shen Zheng, there were only 300 people, which was not a powerful force. But in a place where few bugs visit, this power is enough.

Shen Zheng did not dare to be careless. He told the two team captains to be careful. First, they must prepare all weapons and place them properly. The two team captains were very disapproving. They both thought that Shen Zheng, a new recruit, did not understand the situation here. On the surface, he nodded and dealt with it, but in fact he did not move.

The next day, Shen Zheng personally inspected it again. When he saw that the entire city was still in the same condition as when he inspected it yesterday, his face sank and he called the two team captains.

"Do you think the lives of these three hundred soldiers are nothing?" Shen Zheng asked.
