Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 68: Facing the Wave
The center where the super wave is rushing towards and where the world's attention is focused.
Transport planes flew in from afar and landed at the base city's airport, from which stepped figures fully equipped.
There were many volunteers walking around the airport, cooperating with the investigation bureau and staff from various departments to transport some supplies and equipment.
"They are reinforcements from Baiyun Province. I have seen the leader on TV. He is known as Master Ma in the mysterious world. He is a top expert!"
"Who are those reinforcements over there? The uniforms they wear seem to be different from the investigators, but I think these people are more powerful."
"Your intuition is right. They are from another mysterious department of Donghuang, the Special Operations Team. This department has very few personnel, but they carry out dangerous missions and often go deep into the gray fog area to fight against evil spirits. Naturally, they are very powerful."
Among these volunteers, there are many "insiders" who are knowledgeable and can call out the names of powerful people.
Many young people who are still unfamiliar with the mysterious world and have only heard of the Investigation Bureau couldn't help but exclaim.
"Then what about those people with flame patterns embroidered on their robes? They seem to be very strong too?"
"Flame pattern? I've never heard of it. There aren't many people wearing it. It could be some unknown branch of the Bureau of Investigation."
"Oh, the strong men from the White Bear Country are here. We actually have foreign reinforcements this time?"
"Not only that, the leader is the Ice King, one of the three white bear kings. This is a heavy responsibility."
"There is a team from Sunset Country that arrived earlier. I heard they are from the Sunset Royal Family... Oh, and there is another piece of gossip. Princess Anna, the pearl of Sunset Country, is in our Shuize Base City. This time, she will join our Investigation Bureau warriors in resisting the evil wave."
“Seeing these strong people from all over the world, I am so excited!”
"Me too! It's a pity that I'm not an awakener, otherwise I could go to the battlefield and kill the enemy."
"We will definitely win!"
…
…
The sound of the broadcast echoed over the city of Mizusawa.
"The city of Shuize is about to be hit by a wave of evil, but citizens don't have to worry. The Investigation Bureau will work with various departments and agencies to stop the evil from destroying our homes."
"Now, please enter the various shelters in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff in each area."
"I repeat, please enter the corresponding shelter according to the area you are in."
Before the large-scale construction of Mizusawa Base City began, various possible situations in the future were anticipated, and war was one of the most likely disasters.
Therefore, during the construction phase, sturdy shelters were built in various areas of the base city.
People flowed to various target locations in an orderly manner.
The elite troops from the Wave Kingdom and the Sunset Kingdom who came here to support widened their eyes.
It seemed incredible to them that there wasn't any trouble with so many people. However, they didn't know that most of the residents here were migrants from various places and had experienced attacks by evil spirits all the way to Shuize City.
Compared to that time, why would they panic now when they are just heading to the shelter?
How can I panic!
The soldiers on the front line have to deal with terrible monsters. They can't do anything. All they can do is try not to cause trouble and pray for the soldiers.
"Let's go. Next, let's see how rough the waves are."
…
…
The defense line of the Shuize base city is hundreds of kilometers away.
Shi Yunxi swung out a series of water blades, and in one stroke, she cut a three-star Guixie in two. She glanced at the task prompt in her mind, looked at Anna and the others , "Let's go, it's time to go back."
"go back?"
"Well, according to the organization's estimates, the wave will reach the outer defense zone of the base city in more than an hour, and it may take less than half an hour to reach us."
Medesa couldn't help but look into the distance.
The sky was still dark, and wisps of gray fog could be vaguely seen floating in the field of vision, as well as the outline of a monster slightly visible under the gray fog.
No wave in sight yet.
But it seemed that the whole world was more depressing, with a tide of darkness surging in, making people want to cover their hearts and feel a little depressed.
"Won't you kill a few more evil spirits?"
asked Metissa.
It was not because she was greedy for those points. She had also heard that the wave would sweep away all the evil it encountered along the way and grow like a snowball.
If they kill one more now, the size of the wave will be reduced by one.
In particular, kill those two or three star evil spirits with long-range attack capabilities, such as bone thorn insects, strange lanterns, etc. Otherwise, once they blend into the evil spirit wave, it will cost more to kill them.
Seeing Madisa looking at him, Shi Yunxi shook his head slightly.
"Time is running out. If we delay any longer, we might run into the front of the wave, and it will be difficult to leave then."
"Besides, the ones we kill now are just appetizers. The real battle will start later. Before the battle begins, we need to rest for a while and adjust to the best condition."
She glanced at her phone and said, "Let's go, the car is waiting for us."
…
Outside this base city, within a range of dozens to hundreds of kilometers, there are other mopping-up teams that, like Shi Yunxi and his companions, have received the information and are returning quickly.
A six-man special operations team, the captain said with a smile, "Take it easy, don't exhaust yourselves, the real main course has not yet begun."
Elsewhere,
The powerful man from the General Administration, the sword master Yang Chang, is taking back his three standard swords.
In the distance, two two-stars and one three-star star fell to the ground with a loud bang.
He glanced at his watch, then at the sky, and called to his teammates, "Let's go, let's go back and welcome the coming of the wave."
…
Rakshasa spread out his red and black wings and shot past at a low altitude.
With a powerful strike, he pierced a three-star evil spirit on the ground into four pieces.
Suddenly, Luosha stopped, reached out and pressed his ear, "I know."
He looked into the distance, where he could still vaguely see some huge figures more than ten meters tall, and frowned, "I'll spare you for now, hum!"
He took off into the air and flew towards Base City.
…
The outer edge of the base city,
Defense Zone No. 1 is the point where the wave impact is the most violent in the estimated route. For this reason, the most defense forces are deployed here.
Yinling, wearing a white doctor's uniform, walked along the defense line where the final arrangements were being made.
"This war is really fierce. We medical personnel have to go to the battlefield."
She strolled through it, naturally without any tension.
However, many girls who came here with Teacher Yinling were a little nervous.
Looking at their appearance, many of them were young girls with childish faces, Yin Ling chuckled, "You don't have to be nervous . Although you are going to the battlefield, you will only be responsible for logistics and treating injured awakeners. Just remember how to use those potions."
"Otherwise, there's no big danger. If the defense line is overwhelmed, we'll all die together, but it will be quick and painless."
After these words were spoken, many young girls who had never faced a large-scale battlefield trembled even more.
"teacher!"
Xu Yun scolded, then turned to comfort the others.
She herself was also a little girl, in junior high school, but as the first student accepted by Teacher Yinling, Xu Yun gradually took on the responsibility of "senior sister".
She is no longer the little girl who used to hide behind her brother.
There are also many fearless medical personnel who are eager to fight against Guixie with real weapons.
The one who spoke was a tall girl named Manyiaoyue. She had a heroic demeanor, but her awakened ability was very suitable for the medical department, so she had no choice but to obey the assignment.
But I didn't forget my dream.
However, Manyiaoyue did not forget his identity and fighting ability. If he really rushed up to fight with Guixie, he would probably be killed in an instant.
"Teacher, I want to apply for an explosive musket. Besides saving people, I also want to kill the evil spirits! I'll kill as many as I can!"
"Is that so..." Yin Ling tapped her chin with her hand and glanced at something not far away.
"Go ahead. The rough guy from the equipment department is right there. There are a few boxes of equipment that have just arrived. Go get whatever you want."
On a small hill not far away, Wang Chui was yelling at the top of his voice.
"Hurry up, the evil wave will arrive soon , we must debug the cannon, there can't be any mistakes!"
"What? You want to get the explosive musket? Ask the people in the logistics department to arrange it. Don't bother me."
"That kind of low-level equipment is just for show. If you really want to kill evil spirits on a large scale, you have to rely on my cannon!"
A giant cannon that is much larger than the strange crystal cannon that day, with a thick and long barrel that is more than ten meters long, is lying on the hill.
The workmanship seems a bit rough, and Master Wang is concentrating on debugging it.
Not far away, and in other defense areas, there were many regular workers from the equipment department who were conducting final tests on the strange crystal cannons.
Fang You walked over without disturbing him.
He walked a few hundred meters away, climbed up a wooden bud tower, and took a quick look.
Then he came to a more forward position, where he met Liu Shang, Liu Ji and others.
"tutor."
Liu Ji, Liu Ru, and Liu Meng, the three plant demon girls, bowed slightly.
They were still sowing seeds at this time, just like they were doing in the Fog City that day, but this time the scope was wider, the intensity was higher, and the preparations... were more required.
Sweat soaked their collars.
But Liu Shang smiled.
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission and have completed the arrangement."
"Thank you for your hard work."
After a few words of concern, Fang You sent them back to the secret realm to rest. After all, they would have to contribute a lot in the battle later, and they couldn't be left without any energy later.
He walked to an observation post and looked into the distance.
Xing Jinglei, Yi Luoxi, Pei Hongjing , Roland, Gou Ping'an, Luo Rui, Xu Tian... and so on, one by one, the Xinhuo warriors arrived at the defense zone one after another.
Wearing battle uniform, holding swords, waiting solemnly.
Phew~
The wind grew stronger.
At the far end of the sky, gray fog was rolling, and the thick dark clouds shrouding the dawn zone were actually swallowing up the light of dawn bit by bit.
The sky got darker.
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, and it seems it is about to collapse.
From the end of the horizon, a black wave appeared hideously and rolled in.
