Although the Battle of Guixi Market has been won and ended, and although the vast majority of refugees and survivors have returned to the city and joined the work of rebuilding their homes, at this moment, inside and outside the mine base, countless people
Soldiers and countless support personnel are still working nervously.
Their busy and running figures looked extraordinarily slender under the setting sun, just like the work ants gritting their teeth and working together to prepare for the upcoming new war.
.
Yes, it is the new war!
Although after nearly six days of decisive battles, Guixi Market, including the city center that was hit by fusion, had been basically recovered, the mine base and the vast majority of the soldiers were not able to relax because, without waiting,
They will completely eliminate the demons and chaos monsters in the market, and a new war will soon come.
Therefore, after recruiting nearly a million new soldiers from the refugees on a large scale and integrating them into the new Huagai Marine Corps, the cleanup and prevention of the remaining demons in Guiba Market can only be left to the ordinary security forces.
and those psychic hunters, and the work of cleaning up the ruins and rebuilding their homes was directly handed over to the millions of refugees who had been rescued. All the energy and production capacity of the base were once again devoted to the tense work.
in preparation for war.
If anyone pays attention, they can clearly see it even as far away as Gui Market: In the sky, the fighter planes and gunboats are constantly roaring away from the base and flying into the distance, only above the clouds
It left behind white trails; and on the ground far and near, formations of armored vehicles and siege tanks continued to drive out from the direction of the mine base, and soon those among the ruins in the wilderness outside the city
The road was speeding, kicking up large tracts of dust and then disappearing between the mountains and the horizon in the distance.
As for the mine base, it's even worse.
"Hurry up!"
"Everyone, move faster!"
"Line up!"
"Count!"
“Ready to board!!”
In front of those huge fortress-like steel barracks, groups of Marine recruits were lined up in neat formations, wearing CMC power armor suits, forming a torrent of steel, and then under the loud shouts of each officer
Amidst the scolding, he hurriedly boarded the cabins of one transport plane after another with neat little steps.
soon!
Those transport planes, escorted by more Banshees and Viking fighters, broke through the sky one after another, flying towards the mountains to the west, north and south of the mine base. After a while, only that one was visible.
The metal aircraft shone with a chilling and dazzling metallic luster under the reflection of the setting sun.
At the same time, other soldiers and armored units in the base were also busy in an intense and orderly manner.
Countless transport planes and fighter planes were constantly taking off and landing. The Thor mecha walked out of the factory's debugging room amidst roaring footsteps. The air of the entire base was filled with the sound of metal friction and burning fuel.
Smell, almost everyone can clearly feel and smell the tense smell before the upcoming war.
At this time, if anyone looks down from the sky or the universe, it is not difficult to find that while the mountains look particularly vast and majestic under the setting sun, a huge picture is slowly unfolding, and at the top of the picture
At the center is the busy base of the interstellar war era with countless soldiers, war equipment and steel fortresses.
It is like a huge steel behemoth, constantly roaring and pulsing, and then constantly swallowing matter and spitting out steel instruments, delivering the blood of war and the power of human resistance to the new war that is about to begin.
Of course, not everyone could detect the tense atmosphere before the war.
Isn’t this?
"Uh-huh~Uh-huh~"
(｀)
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~"
()
A certain miserable little girl head of state didn't care about the situation of the new war that was about to start. She just leisurely walked in the return market that was being enthusiastically transformed and cleaned up by the survivors and refugees after the recapture.
Wandering around humming unknown songs and helping out a little from time to time.
After all, although the Guiba Market was recaptured, the demons in the city center were also rushed in by marines wearing CMC armored power suits with three-defense protective gear, braving high temperatures and radiation on the day after the strategic fusion strike.
The occupation and victory have been eliminated and declared, but there are still a lot of demons scattered throughout the market, and the base still needs all-round and round-the-clock monitoring to attack and suppress the scattered demons that suddenly run out at any time.
At this time, fierce gunshots and explosions were heard from time to time in the city. This was the clean-up team's attack on those sporadic demons. Otherwise, those monsters would still affect the clean-up and reconstruction of Guixi Market.
work.
However, just as the mine base has not paid much attention to the remaining demons in Gui Market, Annie also does not pay much attention to the upcoming battle to defend Gui Market around Gui Market, which may be even more massive than the previous battles.
Not worried at all!
Because she knew that the subspace demons that were attacking Guixu Market from all directions did not pose much of a threat. The base had plenty of ways to deal with the demons and chaos monsters that dared to leave the city and appear in the wilderness.
To deal with them, whether it is indiscriminate bombing or large-scale and large-scale fusion strikes, it will be enough for them to drink a pot!
Especially after regaining the Guiba market and obtaining a large amount of resources, dealing with monster clusters that have left the city and don't have to worry about accidentally injuring survivors, let alone the base's long-range strike forces, is just a matter of monsters in the orbit of the universe.
The air and air strikes from the secondary battery of the flagship Noxus were enough to deal with them.
You know, without any scruples, facing the main guns and secondary guns of the main battleships of the Federation of Heroes of the Koprulu Sector, even the so-called 'Creation Gods' like Xel'Naga would kick their feet when they saw it.
Trembling, let alone the mere subspace demons.
The reason why the previous battles were so frustrating was simply due to the limited battlefield environment and limited strength.
But now, after regaining the Guiba Market, the strength of the base has greatly increased. Whether it is resources or troops, it has made great progress. In addition, those demons besieged and took the initiative to leave the city and appeared soon.
It is a restricted and detected wilderness battlefield with no survivors, so it is self-evident what the result will be.
Anyway, as the head of state, Anne is definitely not worried, although she has never seemed to be worried before?
Anyway!
Even though many areas outside Gui Market are still covered by the kind of red fog that blocks detection and communication, and are still shrouded by the difficult 'fog of war', she believes that at this moment, with the help of the mine base,
The strength and the massive number of recruits are definitely more than enough to cope with it, and it can even be used as a substitute for training so that the recruits can gain more practical experience?
In view of this, after a lot of hard work and hard work, Anne, the Head of State, was finally able to live a leisurely life again, sleeping until the afternoon and wandering around without having to work.
However, the only thing that makes her feel a little regretful at the moment is that the cleaning and reconstruction work of Guixi Market has just begun. Except for a few less damaged areas on the outskirts, they have been urgently vacated to serve as temporary residential areas for refugees and survivors.
Although it looks relatively clean, the rest of the place is still messy and smelly.
Especially those huge trucks transporting the remains of the victims, when they pull a truckload of corpses dripping with blood and some sticky juices and rush towards the planned cemetery of the victims outside the city, that kind of feeling
The terrible smell, the sticky reddish-brown tracks left on the ground, and the horrible scene, which makes people feel nauseous and also makes their scalp numb in waves, are always not good.
Anyway, after Annie saw it, she subconsciously took a detour and stayed away from the main roads, so as not to see those bad scenes that would affect her appetite and mood.
"Eh?"
|˙˙)
Soon, while strolling around, Annie, still wearing the ghost agent suit, saw a familiar little green dot with a name on the radar interface of her heads-up display in the flattened ruins in the west of the city.
"that is……"
(o▽)o
Upon seeing this, she saw that it was an acquaintance who appeared within her line of sight. Of course, she rushed towards that place without thinking, and soon she saw a man wearing only plainclothes military uniform, but with a waistband and
Behind him was a slim figure still carrying a weapon.
"Hello!"
()
"Sister Wang Qing, why are you here?"
-
==()
See it!
Seeing that it was indeed the guy with whom she had the best relationship and familiarity among the six idiots, Annie of course ignored the refugees and staff who were operating various machines in the chaotic construction site around her.
With shocked eyes, he cheered and rushed towards that slim and beautiful tall figure.
"ah?"
"!!"
"It's Head Anne!?"
He was startled at first, then followed the direction of the sound and saw that the person coming was Anne, so subconsciously, Wang Qing hurriedly stood at attention and respectfully performed a military salute.
"oops!"
()
"We are all familiar with each other, so there is no need to be so polite!"
╭(●●)╯
Seeing this, Annie quickly waved her hand to signal the other party not to keep respecting her all day long, so as not to upset her.
"correct!"
-
(゜-゜)
Then, after looking around the other party in surprise, he saw that the other party was only wearing casual clothes, and was completely unlike the soldiers wearing CMC armor and patrolling, standing guard or even fighting in the city that he had seen along the way.
Then she asked with some surprise:
"Why are you here? Don't you have to go to war?"
()
"And you're not wearing any equipment?"
(ì_í)
After all, Annie knows that the current situation is still very urgent, and a new war will start soon. Although the guy in front of her is not very capable, he is still much stronger than those new recruits. The base
It is impossible for the other party to be able to wander around like her, Head of State Anne.
"I?"
"Well, I was approved for two days of leave, so I came back to see if I could find my family."
"Even though they may not be here anymore, even if the body is found?"
However, it was okay if Anne didn't ask. When she asked, Wang Qing's originally relatively good expression immediately turned gloomy and obscure, and his original interest in the conversation instantly became very low.
"I……"
After opening his mouth, Wang Qing finally said nothing.
Thinking about it, although the battle to liberate and return to the market was won, her home turned into a flat land, and all the familiar things, whether people or objects, no longer existed. The desolation and helplessness,
It's not something ordinary people can endure.
"Yes!"
()
"It seems that you have said many times before that you want to come back and find me in person..."
()
Hearing what was going on, Anne rarely put away the playful expression on her round face and asked cautiously:
"So have you found it?"
|▽)
"Do you need help?"
(^o^)/
Yes, Anne said that she was idle now anyway. If there was anything she needed, just ask her. Whether she asked her to follow her to find it, or asked her to use her power to help find it, that was all.
No problem at all.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"ah!"
"No, no need, thank you."
Unfortunately, facing Anne's kindness, Wang Qing just smiled bitterly and shook his head to express his polite refusal.
"Can't find it..."
Then, before Anne could ask any more questions, she added bitterly:
"Now all the survivors in the market have been registered in the data center. I searched several times, but in the end I couldn't find any information about them..."
"so……"
"I can now accept the fact that they left me."
"As for their bodies..."
"There are more than 90 million corpses here, and many of them are incomplete and severely decayed. How can we find them?"
Speaking of that cruel and terrifying fact, the expression on Wang Qing's face became even more ugly.
In fact, the problem at the moment is not that she can't find it, but that she doesn't even know where it will be.
She also knew what was going on when the catastrophe occurred. Her family might not have been at home at that time, so she really didn't know where they were at this moment.
Maybe it rotted in a ditch, maybe in the corner of a shopping mall, maybe it got into the belly of those subspace demons and chaos monsters, maybe it was fed to those massive fat rats, or maybe I don’t know if it was
Was it burned by the flames of war, or even rotted in a corner mixed with mud and ruins?
Anyway, Wang Qing really didn't dare to imagine that kind of thing, and he had no confidence or hope in finding them!
"I……"
"Actually, I've already thought about it."
"When the time comes, we plan to erect a tombstone for them in the public cemetery in the west of the city, and let them bury them together with everyone. Maybe that is the best choice, right?"
As he spoke, Wang Qing turned around in a daze and looked toward the west of the city.
Outside the west of the city, on a battlefield that had been previously bombed by tactical fusion strikes, many troops from the SCV engineering team and refugees were building a huge cemetery for the victims of the Guiba Market. They started building it two days ago.
, all the human corpses, fragments, flesh and blood mixtures, etc. that have been cleared out of the city will be buried there together. When the time comes, she only needs to register and ask the people in the management office to help her choose the place.
It is enough to set up a separate small tombstone with the name of the family in the place.
Although that was cruel, there was no doubt that it was the best and most humane measure. She couldn't think of a better plan than that.
"Um……"
()
"Ah! Isn't that your home?"
(　ヘ)　
"I'm going to be pushed down!"
╭(′ o′)╭
Suddenly, she saw a scene not far away, and Anne, who didn't want to take up the heavy topics that the other party had just said, quickly pointed to a bulldozer not far away and asked in surprise.
Although she had detonated and burned down the evil gymnasium here, Annie still remembered the location and outline of the other party's house, so she quickly changed the subject and asked in surprise.
"Yes."
"I came here this time just to take a last look at it and see if I can find anything commemorative."
As she said that, Wang Qing subconsciously squeezed the booklet in her hand. It was obvious that she had indeed found something commemorative, but she was not very happy and couldn't be happy.
"So what are they going to do with this place being bulldozed?"
|ω`)
"Are they going to be rebuilt exactly as they were?"
(ω)
Then Annie asked again, because when she walked in, she had already seen that all the places where corpses had been cleaned were bulldozed by machinery, and then new drainage pipes and foundations were started to be installed. It seemed that it was really
To be rebuilt.
"no."
"It won't be rebuilt."
"It said it was going to build a new city with military functions."
"You also know..."
"The battle ahead is still long. The new Guixi market must have combat and defense functions. Whether it is for defense or security reasons, it is not appropriate to rebuild it as it is."
"But it's not like they're all going to be demolished. It's just here in the west of the city. The status quo should be preserved in other places, right?"
"No matter what, Gui Market originally had a population of more than 100 million, but now less than one-tenth is left. It is probably more than enough to just knock down the buildings in the west of the city and rebuild them."
"That would be good."
For Wang Qing, who is in the military system and has become a low-level officer, the kind of first-hand information that is not easily accessible to ordinary people is not a problem for her. Therefore, when she saw Annie asking, she
A certain internal announcement was restated directly and clearly.
"That's right!"
(*^▽^*)
"It's better to rebuild a new city. After all, there are still a lot of demons here, and demons from outside may come here at any time. It may not be easy to defend as it is."
(▽`)
Anne had no objection to this.
Anyway, she didn’t really like the original city layout and the kind of steel high-rise buildings, and she didn’t want to get into the smelly and messy old streets! So, when she heard that everything was being pushed to rebuild the Kprulu with defense and combat functions.
Since it was a star district style city, she naturally had no reason to object.
"Huh?"
()
"Sister Wang Qing, have you been promoted again?"
|o`)
Suddenly, Anne noticed the military rank on the collar of the other party's casual clothes, and discovered that the other party seemed to be a lieutenant officer.
"Promotion?"
"Oh, yes."
"Because we have made a lot of achievements recently, and the number of new recruits has increased too quickly, there are not enough officers at the base. In addition, Chief Darius is unwilling to split and reorganize your Guards Corps, so we
As long as these officers from the planetary government period have participated in battles, as long as their performance is not too bad and they have made meritorious deeds, most of them have been promoted exceptionally."
When Anne asked about military rank, Wang Qing certainly didn't hide it and spoke openly.
She was actually not very happy about this.
Because she has now been transferred to a newly formed medical unit as the chief officer, and the original assault team has also been disbanded, and almost everyone has been assigned new tasks and responsibilities. She, Captain Awen, and Deputy Captain Yue
Han Xin, Liu Li, Mian Xing and Mai Kun may not know when they will meet next.
"So this is ah?"
(▽)
"Too!"
(*︶*).
"That guy from the Guards Corps, Darius, doesn't dare to mess around. They all have a fixed organization. He seems to only have the right to mobilize but not to dispose. Otherwise, he will definitely be scolded when he returns to the star area!
"
(-)
Anne has the power to dispose of it, but she doesn't want to get involved in that kind of thing!
Furthermore, although she never asked about military and political affairs, Anne had been the head of state for a short period of time, and she had been exposed to some military and political affairs in the sector, so she nodded without thinking too much, indicating that she understood.
The reason why Darius did what he did.
"Besides, once it is separated, it will have no fighting capacity."
()
"You really shouldn't do that!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
That is also true. If the combat effectiveness of a legion of the Guards of Anne's Head of State is 'one hundred', and the combat effectiveness of the newly formed local legion on Huagai Star is 'five', then once the two are split and reorganized
, maybe the combat power is only 'ten' at best.
In that case, it would be better to keep the troops with a combat power of '100', and then let the troops with a combat power of only '5' slowly gain experience and level up!
Even a child like her knew how to choose when it came to that kind of question.
"but……"
()
"I suddenly remembered another unlucky guy. I wonder...has she been promoted like you?"
○(^ plate^)っHiahiahia…
Suddenly, seeing Miss Wang Qing in front of her and hearing the reason for her promotion, Annie quickly remembered another chubby villain who had been rescued by her before, but the other party couldn't help but beat her.
Guy.
She remembered that the guy's name seemed to be Gao Lanlan?
However, the other party is different from the Miss Wang Qing in front of her. The other party is an officer in her Guards Corps, that is, a gunboat pilot in the Guards. However, the other party not only made a mistake, but also messed up the crash.
It was a good idea, and the Führer's Guard seemed unable to expand at will, so she felt that there was a high probability that that guy would not be promoted.
"It's getting late."
"There is a good supply center over there. It was built by the SCV engineering team the day before yesterday. There are many good things in there."
"Prince Anne, do you want to come with us?"
At this time, after seeing that the construction machinery had completely razed the remaining eaves and walls of his home to the ground, and seeing that his last thoughts were completely reduced to ashes, Wang Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, then reluctantly pulled himself together and went
Smiling, he extended an invitation to a certain troubled little girl.
Speaking of which, Anne took care of her too much, even saving her life and other favors that may never be repaid, so now that she has the opportunity, she always has to express her gratitude to some extent.
"Have a meal?"
(ω)
"OK!"
(﹃`)
"As long as it's your treat, they must go!"
*.(ˊ▽ˋ*)*.
Hearing this, without even thinking about it, Anne raised her little hand rudely and cheered loudly to express her gratitude when she saw that she could chat with someone and even have a meal for free.
Very happy to do that kind of thing.
