Chapter 389
On the outskirts of Xijing City, the streets were full of abandoned cars. Pedestrians were running away in panic. Several police cars appeared from time to time, sirens flashing. The police tried to maintain order, but under the shock of those huge black shadows in the sky, the citizens
They almost lost their minds.
Airports, docks, stations, and all transportation hubs that can communicate with the outside world were overwhelmed by the crowds.
There were children falling to the ground and crying loudly, balloons on the ground, and toys trampled beyond recognition.
Defense Force fighter planes roared across the sky, armed helicopters hovered over the ancient city tower, armored vehicles and heavy tanks were deployed along the streets, and heavily armed soldiers hid behind barricades with their guns pointed at the horizon.

"The good news at the moment is that, except for Xijing City, there are no signs of beast tides in other cities around the world, so they can be free to support us. The defense forces of Tianlin City, Nandu City, and Tianfu City are making every effort to support us.
We set off, and the first batch of reinforcements is expected to arrive within six hours!
At the city hall, the mayor is describing the summarized situation to the heads of various departments.
"However, the bad news is that for some unknown reason, almost the entire group of monsters in the Northwest, Central Plains, and Bashu regions are moving towards Xijing City. At the current speed, the beasts will also be gone in six hours.
The scale of the tide will reach more than 100 million!”
"One hundred million..."
"Why are there so many monsters..."
"What do you defense forces do for food...have you never been on guard?"
In the meeting hall, some people looked pale and kept wiping sweat, while some people were trying to blame each other and even started fighting.
"Mr. Mayor, there are mountains such as Qinshan Mountain and Bashan Mountain near Xijing City. Under the cover of the virgin forest, it is impossible to say how many creatures exist and how many of them have turned into monsters. But what can be determined is that among the hundreds of millions of
Under the impact of the super beast tide, the entire Xijing City will be plunged into disaster! Therefore, I suggest that... we should make up our mind to cut off the wrists of strong men as soon as possible... "
The deputy mayor stood up, lowered his head and said.
"A strong man cuts off his wrist? Do you mean to give up Xijing City?"
the mayor asked.
"Mayor, make up your mind early! If it's later, it'll be too late."
"Mayor, we also think the deputy mayor's suggestion is right!"
"That's right, instead of just sitting around and waiting for death, it's better to abandon the city and everyone retreat to the north bank of the Weishui River!"
Everyone stood up and echoed.
The mayor glanced at the military leaders. They remained motionless, their eyes full of determination.
He finally looked at several participants on the virtual screen, including Duanmu Pai, the person in charge of Sky Shield.
"Mr. Mayor, Xijing City is one of the central cities in China. It has been built as a reserve base for a long time and has a large number of solid city defenses. Coupled with the tens of thousands of defense troops guarding it, the eight million citizens at least have a glimmer of hope.
If you abandon the city and choose to cross the river to flee north, first of all, order cannot be maintained and chaos will only cause greater casualties. Secondly, there is a plain on the north bank of the Weishui River with no danger to defend. The nearest city is dozens of kilometers away, and this distance will be
Become the road to hell, the road to slaughter.”
Duanmu Pai said.
"Chief Duanmu is right. Our defense force has decided to rely on the city to fight to the death with the beast tide until the last person standing. If you people are afraid, just run away for your lives!"
The defense general said coldly.
"...Then I'll help everyone have good luck..."
The deputy mayor glanced around, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"I have decided! Xijing is both a national important place and an ancient historical city. It embodies the wisdom and blood of ancestors of all generations. We, the descendants, cannot give up the place of our ancestors so easily! From now on, all government officials who try to escape will be treated as criminals.
Defection from the battlefield!”
The mayor made up his mind and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Rumble--"
Under the sky, lightning flashed, thunderstorms rolled, and the defense force's fighter planes and winged beasts shuttled back and forth in the air. They were constantly hit and turned into balls of fire and fell to the ground.
On the barricade position, heavy artillery took the lead in firing. The intensive artillery fire fell on the suburban wilderness, razing all roads, farmland, and houses to the ground. The fire was burning, and the river water almost evaporated, revealing the dry river bed.
The beast tide received a preemptive strike and suffered heavy losses, but these artillery fires were like a scratch in the face of the huge number of millions.
The beast tide continued to advance. Tanks and tanks opened fire one after another. Armed helicopters lined up in echelon formations and fired dense cluster rockets. Heavy machine guns and sniper rifles on the ground also began to pour firepower towards the target.
The sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer, and the citizens in the city were forced to make a final decision. Most people fled into the nearest subway station, civil defense fortifications, and basements, but some people still tried to leave Xijing City through the bridge to the north.
————————————————————————————————
"That car, go back immediately, the bridge has been blocked! Please go to the nearest underground shelter to take refuge!"
Police cars lined up at the entrance of the bridge, and the policemen shouted loudly with their bullhorns.
The black car with the red flag logo stopped slowly, and a man with glasses in a suit and a newspaper got out of it.
"In the car is Vice Mayor Zhang, and I am his secretary. We have an important mission and need to cross the bridge!"
The secretary looked at the policemen with a condescending attitude.
"Vice Mayor Zhang?"
The policeman glanced at the person in the car glass and then turned his gaze away.
"Sorry! We haven't received an order from our superiors and can't let you pass!"
"you……"
The secretary got excited and pushed the policeman.
"Please stay calm, otherwise we will take extraordinary measures!"
The policeman pulled out his gun and pointed it at the secretary, who immediately raised his hand.
"Okay... okay... you guys are awesome..."
The secretary backed away and got into the car.
The car turned around and went back the way it came. At this time, a pickup truck passed quickly in front of it and sped towards the dock.
"Fuck! How do you drive!"
The secretary in the passenger seat was so angry that he smashed the car window.
"Xiao Wang, has the terminal stopped operating yet..."
The person in the back seat asked in a low voice.
This person is the deputy mayor who just proposed abandoning the city at the city hall meeting.
"should be……"
Secretary Wang immediately changed his attitude and said respectfully.
"Then take the pier!"
Chapter completed!
