The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 371
Chapter 371 Stubborn Li Li
Hearing this, Ji Ruoxue looked coldly at Li Hu and Li Hao. Seeing that the two of them did not speak, she responded, “City Lord, the logistics department has no objection. They will definitely protect the Heavenly Rock City’s lifeline.”
Yifan nodded and chuckled, “Alright, although the security regiment isn’t large, they are all elite soldiers. I’ll leave them to you.”
“Yes …!” Ji Ruoxue, Li Hu, and Jiang Qing answered in unison.
Seeing this, Yi Fan stopped talking. He turned his gaze to Zhao Kai and Li Hao and continued to arrange things, “Zhao Kai and Li Hao, the mission of your Rock Soul Engineering Department is very simple. It is divided into two parts.”
“One of them will be led by Zhao Kai. He will lead half of the civil engineering team to the city wall to help defend the city. At the same time, he will also retrieve the weapons.”
“Let’s talk about defense first. The main target of your defense is not the zombies, but some malicious people outside Heavenly Rock City, using earth-attribute abilities to create siege stairs for the zombies.”
“As for recycling weapons, there’s no need for me to say anything else.”
“The other part is led by Li Hao. The mission is naturally to repair the broken weapons.”
“Zhao Kai, Li Hao, do you two have any objections?”
Zhao Kai also looked at Li Hao and immediately replied, “City Lord, the Ministry of Works has no objection.”
Yifan stopped talking and immediately said, “Alright, then it’s settled.”
Following that, Yi Fan swept his gaze towards Li Li and couldn’t help but think of the research department that had just experienced turmoil.
“Li Li, your Rock Division will stop all experiments and research from now on,” he said with a hint of sigh.
“All personnel and valuable equipment, evacuate to the new laboratory in the underground city.”
“During this period of turmoil, you can lead the members of the Research Department to stay in the underground city with ease.”
Li Li’s eyes flashed. She said seriously, “City Lord, I have no objection to the arrangement of the research department. Most of them are not powerful evolvers, they do not have strong combat strength, and their self-preservation ability is average. Entering the underground city to flee is already the best choice.”
“However, Lord City Lord, please leave me in the city. As the new head of the research department, after becoming a Perfect Bloodline Warrior.”
“I haven’t fought with my full strength yet. I hope you can give me this opportunity to fight with my full strength.”
Yifan looked at Li Li in surprise. Her elegant face and wise eyes were filled with stubbornness and seriousness.
Evidently, Zhang Liang’s betrayal was something she could not accept. Or perhaps, although Yifan could ignore Zhang Liang, she could not.
She and Zhang Liang were already friends who didn’t say anything, although because of their personalities, they didn’t have the kind of feelings between a man and a woman.
However, the friendship between their colleagues and fellow robes was still incomparably deep, and this fellow actually didn’t reveal a single word to her when he was threatened.
Although, in the final analysis, it was still because she was usually too cautious and rational, even though Zhang Liang knew that once he told her, he would most likely inform Yifan.
However, this fellow didn’t even have the slightest intention to tell him. He betrayed Heavenly Rock City, stole the Rock King’s true blood, and even forced a smile in front of him, disguising himself perfectly.
This caused her to be incomparably shocked. She was even angry, angry at Zhang Liang’s distrust. At the same time, she was also angry that she could not even see through her good friend’s forced smile.
What was ridiculous was that she usually described herself as a wise person. She blamed herself incomparably on Zhang Liang’s matter, and even felt a little ashamed. She felt that she was ashamed of the Rock King’s appreciation.
At this moment, she naturally wanted to borrow this war to show her value and at the same time redeem her merits for Zhang Liang’s sake.
Yifan smiled indifferently, “With your combat strength and intelligence, you can handle the current situation. Your suggestion is approved by me!”
Li Li quickly replied, “Thank you, City Lord!” His voice was anxious, as if he was afraid that Yifan would regret it.
Yi Fan laughed again, “Alright, look at you. If you want to fight, you can. Remember to settle those treasures of the Research Department for me first.”
Li Li was a little embarrassed by Yi Fan’s teasing. Her small face quietly blushed as she replied, “City Lord, don’t worry, Li Li understands the situation.”
Hearing her say this, Yifan stopped talking. Finally, he looked at the weak Su Yuxin and said, “Su Yuxin, your Rock Soul Medicine Department is also divided into two parts.”
“In the first part, you will personally lead the team and select the strongest group of members in the medical department to serve as the special medical team of the Five Birds Group.”
“In the second part, Hu Bin will lead the team and bring all the medical staff to the city wall to minimize the casualties of our soldiers. Do you have any objections?”
Su Yuxin was still the soft and weak Su Yuxin, but her heart was no longer as weak and soft as it looked.
Hearing Yifan’s arrangement, she looked at Hu Bin and saw that the other party had no intention of speaking. She immediately replied, “City Lord, the Medical Department has no objection.”
Hearing this, Yifan immediately stood up and said fiercely, “Since no one has any objections, let’s act immediately!”
“Pay attention! Remember to cooperate with the seven divisions in the process of carrying out these missions. You are one. Do you understand?”
“Understood!” Everyone responded in unison.
“The meeting is adjourned …!”
With Yifan’s extremely straightforward dismissal, everyone quickly dispersed and went down to make arrangements.
Within Heavenly Rock City, the corpses under the Southern City Gate were still surging like a sea, as if they were endlessly slaughtered.
Fortunately, Heavenly Rock City is as solid as a rock. It is indestructible. No matter how surging you are, I will stand still.
Coupled with the fact that the Profound Crystal Dragon Ant, the Flower Prism Lightning Ant, and the two great races had quickly disposed of the corpses in Heavenly Rock City’s underground city, Heavenly Rock City had long been in an invincible position in this protracted battle.
Otherwise, the zombies that had been killed in the past two days would have been piled up even higher than the walls of Heavenly Rock City.
Under the city gates of Heavenly Rock City, the circular holes under the corpses would occasionally open, and countless corpses would be dragged into the underground city by the two ant races.
They would be stripped of their crystal cores, and their bodies would become nutrients for the growth of countless ant clan larvae. It could be said that they had solved the problem and made the most of it.
Upstairs in South City, Ink Armor, City Defense, Golden Snake, Mastiff, and the Heavenly Rock Five Birds Group were engaged in a fierce battle on the city wall.
More than eighty percent of the army’s combat strength was on the south, west and east walls, firmly guarding Heavenly Rock City.
Up until now, the zombies that climbed the city walls were extremely rare and individual existences. Even if they climbed the city walls, they would encounter members of the Five Birds Group, or military officers, mercilessly obliterating them. They would not cause any trouble to Heavenly Rock City.
On the south gate tower, Gu Jian and Wang Yang stood side by side, as if they were chatting about something.
The current battle situation was not tense. The two leaders of the military headquarters were summoned to a meeting again. As temporary commanders, the two of them gathered together and naturally began to chat.
“Group Leader Wang, I heard that the city was bustling with activity yesterday,” Gu Jian said with some doubts.
Wang Yang said gloomily, “It’s not just lively, it’s simply a night of carnival. However, it’s all low-level tricks.”
When Gu Jian saw this, he also asked in a deep voice, “Oh, what methods are they using? There are countless left and right. Tell me.”
Gu Jian had been guarding the city all night last night, so he was naturally not very clear about what had happened in the city, so he immediately asked casually.
“There’s a soldier in the Golden Ring Snake Legion. You know about the murder, right?” Wang Yang said in a deep voice.
Gu Jian immediately became interested and said, “I know about this matter. Didn’t that brat Golden Snake personally handle it?”
“The Dark Battalion has already intervened, but I don’t think it’s that easy to deal with this time of year!”
Wang Yang continued to say gloomily, “Of course, under the intentional impetus, this matter spread throughout China in one day.”
“Afterwards, according to the intel of the Dark Division, the leaders of countless small and medium-sized cities are rushing towards Heavenly Rock City.”
When Gu Jian heard this, he also said in a deep voice, “As always, they are sinister and ruthless. It’s those fellows’ style that is correct. Unfortunately, that soldier should have been forced into helplessness.”
Wang Yang also sighed and sighed, “Sigh, if there is anything, you can explain it to your own officer. Doing so can only cause pain to your loved ones, but quick to your enemies.”
Hearing this, Gu Jian also sighed, “It’s a pity, but I believe that Heavenly Rock City will definitely avenge him!”
“Of course, those damn rats will be found by Minister Fina sooner or later. After that, they will be crushed into trash by our Five Birds Group,” Wang Yang said in a deep voice.
Gu Jian smiled faintly, “Looks like you usually don’t speak too much and are cold and indifferent. I didn’t expect you to be quite hot-blooded, right? What’s next?”
When Wang Yang heard this, he smiled lightly and said with a trace of contempt, “Next, it will get out of hand. There were rumors all over the city that our Heavenly Rock City will be annihilated in this Corpse Tide.”
“Haha!” Gu Jian raised his head and smiled, “Destroy? A group of corpses of this level right now? Destroy Heavenly Rock City? This is truly ridiculous! Haha!”
When Wang Yang heard Gu Jian’s laughter, he didn’t have the slightest hint of a smile, “It’s just that I’m ignorant and fearless. However, there was a vicious explosion in the city last night.”
“What?” Hearing the ancient buildings here, he cried out in alarm. Then, he was incomparably enraged, “There’s such a thing, damn fellow, he’s actually shameless enough to attack civilians?”
Wang Yang said seriously, “Gu Tuan, this is not a peaceful time. You are a pure soldier worthy of admiration. You have always had your principles and bottom line.”
“However, in this apocalypse of moral decay, how many soldiers are like you? As long as those fellows can achieve their goals and attack civilians, what can they be considered as?”
Naturally, Gu Jian wouldn’t be ignorant. The words he said just now were just words that he blurted out in anger.
The corners of his eyes were filled with frost as he sighed, “Sigh… How are the casualties?”
Wang Yang coldly said, “The explosive used by the other party is a disposable relic item, causing great damage.”
“Within a square kilometer, everything turned into powder. More than 20,000 Heavenly Stone City residents died as a result…”
