Lin Zihan followed the convoy and entered the military area. This was Lin Zihan's first time entering the military camp. Although Lin Zihan was now in the logistics of the military area defense line, Lin Zihan also felt the flames of war coming from the front line. As Lin Zihan got closer and closer to the defense line, the continuous sound of artillery fire and the desolate and sorrowful roars all surrounded Lin Zihan's ears. This was the first time that Lin Zihan felt the horror outside the city. It turned out that he was in the city. There are such terrible beasts living outside.

"You come with me to get the pass. You can then enter and exit the military area according to the permissions of your pass." The three-star military commander walked in front and led Lin Zihan and Lin Yafeng to the elevator.

"Aijie from the Northern Military District was ordered to assist in the defense of the Southern Military District."

"Hello, Commander!" When the soldier saw Aijie's rank, he immediately stood at attention and performed a standard military salute. Thinking that the soldier turned around and locked his own fingerprint on the elevator door, the elevator door slowly opened.

As the elevator climbed up, Lin Zihan saw the scene outside through the elevator's viewing port. To the south of the logistics area, a large number of soldiers were gathering. Most of these soldiers were wearing exoskeleton armor. It was rare to see ordinary soldiers. , it seems that exoskeletons have been popularized in the military for a long time, and most of them are entry-level. Lin Zihan also saw that there seemed to be a large number of soldiers wearing elementary exoskeletons gathering. Further away, Lin Zihan couldn't see clearly, he could only see It was crowded and dark.

"Has the military been equipped with exoskeletons now?" Lin Zihan didn't know how widely exoskeletons were used in the military. Lin Zihan looked at Aijie curiously. The commander didn't seem that scary. He should be able to tell myself.

"Don't ask too many questions in the military area. You may be suspected of being a spy." Ai Jie glanced at Lin Zihan, turned around, and looked at the scene outside.

"Fortunately, what you asked is not a secret. In fact, the military is the earliest user of exoskeletons. However, there are so many armies that it is impossible for them all to be equipped with higher-level exoskeletons. However, almost all soldiers can be equipped with entry-level exoskeletons." Exoskeletons and enhancer legions are excluded, and legions equipped with primary exoskeletons are considered strong legions. For example, the mechanized legion, which is famous in the North, is comparable to primary exoskeletons, or even higher. Reached the intermediate level." Aijie said with a somewhat ugly face. For so long, the military in the northern region has always been stronger than that in the southern region.

"The mechanized legion in the north is currently the most powerful exoskeleton legion, but they focus on firepower. Although the firepower has reached the intermediate level, the individual strength assessment is still elementary. In terms of group tug-of-war, they are undoubtedly the strongest, but they are not good at it. Melee and pursuit." Aijie's words did not deliberately belittle the mechanized legion in the north, and it can be regarded as an objective evaluation. Most of the military in the southern region sneered at the mechanized legion in the northern region, but they all knew its true strength. It was only in the southern region. The military is unwilling to admit that its strength is inferior to others.

"Most of the ones you see are entry-level and primary-level. There are also intermediate-level troops in Nandu, but they are all carefully selected small teams. In such large-scale operations, they rarely appear on the frontal battlefield." Aijie looked at it. In view of the troops assembled outside, if one day intermediate-level exoskeletons can be driven in batches and no longer require terminal brain technology and drivers, perhaps the losses will be much smaller when facing this kind of beast tide again.

"Okay, I can only tell you so much. Remember, try to talk as little as possible in the military area." Aijie looked at the place in the distance that was as bright as day. It should be near the second release line. The defense line is not like the first line of defense, which mostly relies on automatic heavy firepower, and the soldiers only control it from a distance. The second line of defense is the defense line composed of soldiers, where there is a firefight between humans and ferocious beasts, and where the most casualties among soldiers occur.

Aijie grew from a soldier to a commander step by step. Aijie relied on his military merit to become the three-star military commander he is today. In the Northern Military Region, Aijie had participated in many encirclements and suppressions of ferocious beasts, so he naturally knew the driver and If the Enhancer's military improvement can really make the entire army reach the intermediate level of exoskeleton, then they can march into no man's land on a large scale, encircle and suppress the ferocious beasts, control the number of ferocious beasts, and avoid this terrible beast tide. Reduce the sacrifice of soldiers.

"Commander Aijie, you seem to be very worried about those soldiers." Lin Zihan looked at Aijie's eyes. There seemed to be care, prayer, and even more worry in his eyes.

"If the pressure on the second line of defense is too great, they will be sent to counterattack to ease the weapon load on the second line of defense. I have been a soldier and now a military commander. I naturally know what it means to send them out?" Aijie did not continue to read. Instead of looking outside, he chose to look away and look at Lin Zihan. Aijie couldn't bear to look outside anymore.

"Ding~" The elevator stopped, and Lin Zihan followed Ai Jie to the office area of ​​the Southern Military Region. Everyone here was in a hurry. Although this was the headquarters, the news from the front line and the issuance of orders were all It needs to be processed as quickly as possible, for fear that one second late will cause irreparable losses.

"When you're done, go wait for me downstairs. I'm going to the command room." Ai Jie took Lin Zihan and Lin Yafeng upstairs, arranged for someone to take them to apply for passes, turned around and left towards the combat command room.

"Aijie, come and report!" Opening the command door, Ajie saluted the combat commander who was watching the battle situation analysis on the big screen in the command room.

"According to the commander's arrangement, Aijie, you will not be under my command after coming to the Southern Military District. You only need to send those batches of intermediate armors. We will form an exoskeleton army as soon as possible." The combat commander glanced at Aijie, this man of the hour in the Northern Military Region.

"I apply to personally lead the team to assist in the second line of defense." Aijie looked at the data analysis on the screen in the command room. The battle from the first line of defense was tragic, and only slightly more than 20% of the survivors who had withdrawn from the first line of defense were.

"Then take your legion and the exoskeleton armor legion and rush to the second line of defense!" The combat commander looked at Aijie, his tone was a little low. Even if the second line of defense was defended, it would suffer heavy losses. Now it seems that he I understand why the commander asked Ajie to personally escort him, because the commander knew that Ajie would personally go into battle when he came to the Southern Military District. Then the pressure on the Southern Military District would be relieved a lot. After all, the addition of a strong man would still have a great impact on the battle situation. .

The commander looked at Aijie walking out of the command room. This general was not comparable to him. In the military, it must be judged by strength. This commander is a well-deserved three-star commander. According to rumors, he is at the peak of the king level. How can a person who is an intensifier be comparable to a combat commander like himself? In the army, there are those who rely on their strength to become commanders and commanders. Those people are the strongest in the army. How can a commander like me in the combat command room be compared with the strong? I am no more than or... The commander hiding in the rear is responsible for the data.

"I hope this military commander can help us hold the second line of defense. Contact the commander of the second line of defense immediately and tell him that the support troops will arrive in an hour, and ask him to hold on to the second line of defense no matter what."

Lin Zihan had already applied for the pass and was waiting downstairs with Lin Yafeng, "I shouldn't have known you. Since I met you, look at what happened to me. The last thing I should do is to meet Xu. Qiao Yi's parents won't have so many troubles. Now that they have come to the military area, they are still facing the beast tide." Lin Zihan shook the pass in his hand and began to complain about this not-so-good situation, and even said that there were some Oops.

Without the exoskeleton, he might still be an ordinary student, living the life of a student. But since he realized that he had this exoskeleton on his body, Lin Zihan was eager to unravel his life experience and the origin of the exoskeleton. , after all, wearing an exoskeleton, Lin Zihan is one of the few drivers in the world, and can be considered a successful person. However, when he saw Lin Yafeng and Xu Mo and truly understood these things, Lin Zihan realized that he was just an ant. , not really a strong person.

"I'll make peace with you now." Lin Yafeng rolled his eyes at Lin Zihan, thinking in his heart, if it weren't for you, would I have come to the military region to work for him? I should stay far away now, at least not come to this defense line to face the beast tide.

"Air combat aircraft are ready for dispatch."

Lin Zihan heard a harsh sound that cut through the air and a huge roar. He looked towards the source of the sound and saw eighteen fighter planes flying over the military area and rushing to the front line.

"You said the city's defense line is just that, why do we need to control the air as well." Lin Zihan looked at the flying fighter planes. This was the first time he saw anything in the sky other than blue sky and white clouds.

"The military region has a huge energy shield in the sky. It will strictly control the air rights and resist the ferocious beasts in the sky. Otherwise, do you think why the flight time of civilian airliners is strictly controlled, because the energy shield will only open at specified times. If there is no control in the air, If so, the energy shield may be useless in a few days." Lin Yafeng looked at the white smoke left behind by the flying fighter planes, perhaps this time he was facing an unpredictable beast tide.

"Come with me. I will send someone to take you to a safe area near the second line of defense and ensure your safety." Aijie walked out of the elevator and saw the backs of Lin Zihan and Lin Yafeng.

"What about you, Commander Aijie? Are you going back to the Northern Military Region?" Lin Zihan turned around when he heard Aijie's loud voice.

"I will personally lead the team to the second line of defense. The order I received is to assist in the defense of the Southern Military Region." Ai Jie came to Lin Zihan. Lin Zihan was 1.8 meters tall, but standing in front of Ajie, he was still more than half a head shorter. Ajie patted Lin Zihan on the shoulder. "You can take on such an important responsibility in Dihao at such a young age. You have a promising future."

"Actually, I'm still a student. I'm just an intern experimenter at Emgrand. Because I'm good at exoskeletons, I was sent to collect data." Lin Zihan touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Young man, are you interested in coming to the military laboratory after graduation? I can personally introduce you to him then." Ai Jie looked at Lin Zihan's embarrassed look and laughed a few times.

Lin Zihan admired Aijie's fearlessness in the face of danger. He could still laugh like this in the face of such a powerful beast wave. What kind of strength did this military commander have? Aijie exuded the confidence of a strong man. Lin Zihan felt that with the commander here, the beast tide was not so scary. This was the first time Lin Zihan had an impression of soldiers and the first time he had seen a strong man. It turned out that he was just showing off before and could not be considered a strong person. This was the second time that Lin Zihan felt that his strength was insufficient and he needed to become stronger urgently.

"Maybe, I'd rather be more free." Lin Zihan looked at Aijie's smile, and the depression in his heart eased a bit. Aijie did not continue chatting, turned around and left. Soon someone came and took Lin Zihan and Lin Yafeng to the military vehicle.

In the car, Lin Zihan thought of Ai Jie's words. Maybe Uncle Li was once a leader, but he was born at the wrong time. Facing such a beast, I wonder if Old Li can be so calm. The car was a little bumpy, and Lin Zihan was swaying around in the car until he was a little dizzy. Looking outside through the observation window, the barren land is a little dry and cracked. Is this a no-man's land with no grass growing?

Lin Zihan looked outside, and the light on the second line of defense was getting closer and closer. The sound of gunfire came to his ears, as well as the roars he had never heard before, and the sounds of ferocious beasts reached Lin Zihan's ears. Lin Zihan's inner curiosity about the no-man's land was no longer at all, but more of a fear. Facing the ferocious beast, could he still be as ignorant and confident as he was when facing Xu Mo? Now that Lin Zihan thought about it, he thought that with an exoskeleton he would be invincible. It was really ridiculous and self-righteous. It turned out that his exoskeleton was just a piece of equipment that these strong men regarded as inferior.

Lin Zihan recalled what Lin Yafeng said about Y-13. Only with such terrifying strength could he be considered a Silver Glory level. He was probably just an S-level exoskeleton warrior, or maybe not even an S-level. The reason why he Strong, but because there are not many controllers and strengtheners in Longcheng, he is just arrogant because of the self-confidence he built among a group of weaklings. Seeing Ai Jie's momentum, Lin Zihan felt the gap between his current strength and the strong. , is a horizontal ditch that cannot be crossed.

"Why, I don't think your expression is right?" Lin Yafeng noticed something strange about Lin Zihan. His face didn't have the majestic look of the past. It looked like an eggplant beaten by frost and wilted. It seems that this self-proclaimed boy is... I was shocked by the sight in front of me or the strength displayed by the military department. It seemed that I didn’t need to stimulate Lin Zihan by myself in the following days. Lin Zihan realized the gap and should have worked hard to become stronger. This was less and saved his own money. He tried his best to arrange the layout to stimulate Lin Zihan to realize his lack of strength.

"I felt that I was too self-righteous before. I actually thought that I was the best in this world. How naive!" Lin Zihan smiled bitterly and shook his head. It turns out that exoskeletons are everywhere in the military, and they are not a rare thing, so I thought that having an exoskeleton was a proud man.

"Your talent is quite good. You can withstand the load of at least an S-class exoskeleton at such a young age. When you really master it, you may be able to unleash the true strength of your exoskeleton. I estimate it to be a silver level." After all, your exoskeleton armor is strong enough. As long as you continue to adapt and achieve sufficient interaction, it should be fine." Lin Yafeng spoke in a low voice. This was not a joke. If Lin Zihan said As said, Lin Zihan's exoskeleton level should be able to reach the Yin Yao level, but Lin Zihan has little experience and cannot display his full strength for the time being.
