The deputy army commander and battalion commanders of Gran City were unable to contact their city lord and thought that the city lord died in the explosion. They had no choice but to organize their own troops for defense and rescue.
Countless workers were sent to put out the fire with water guns, countless nurses and doctors were sent to rescue the wounded, and countless soldiers were sent to assist everyone in the rescue.
The rescue lasted for nearly ten hours, a full ten hours, but the fires in many places were still not extinguished.
This is a crisis that Grand City has never experienced before. Not a single high-rise building in this area was spared, and all were blown to pieces. There were countless casualties, and wailings and calls for help occurred one after another.
The injured are mainly concentrated near the edge of the explosion range. The closer to the center of the explosion, the fewer people survive.
With the east gate as the center, almost no one survived within a radius of 500 meters. And this range is also the range with the largest number of people.
The rescue team is now at the center of the explosion. There are no bodies here because they have long been reduced to nothing. But there will still be a few charred corpses. These people are all warriors with strength above 100, at least at the company commander level. But they still couldn't escape the power of the electromagnetic gun, and no one survived.
"Quick, quick, don't give up, find Li Banggu for me." A deputy army commander still organized the rescue team to look for traces of Li Banggu.
Suddenly, a blackened hand emerged from among the rubble.
The sharp-eyed deputy commander spotted the hand and immediately shouted: Over there, over there, Li Banggu is still alive. "
The deputy leader and members of the rescue team removed the stone and carried Li Banggu onto a stretcher.
At this time, Li Banggu could be said to be in terrible condition. The skin on his body was scorched black, blood was oozing from many places, and his hair was burned off. Now he is just a bloody body, unable to move or speak. But it may be that Li Banggu's will was strong, so he did not die. He half-closed one eye to control himself from falling unconscious. Because he had a premonition that if he fell into a coma, he might really not wake up.
The deputy commander watched Li Banggu being carried away, filled with resentment.
"What kind of superpower is this? It can actually blow Li Banggu, who has a combat power of 200, into this!"
The other deputy commander said with a solemn expression: "Perhaps, that girl named Chen Yuan is probably the Zhenhuang from the Doomsday Strategy."
"Zhen...Zhenhuang? How is that possible?"
"Other than her, I really can't think of anyone else who can launch a railgun."
"But if she is Zhenhuang, why didn't she activate it at the beginning and wait until today to use this stunt?"
"I don't know about this. Maybe she knows that the electromagnetic gun consumes life force, so she is reluctant to use it. Maybe she just awakened the ability of the electromagnetic gun today."
"Damn it, if she is really Zhenhuang, then things will be really troublesome."
"Yeah, what could be worse than this."
The deputy leader was a crow's mouth. As soon as he said this, something even worse happened.
Several soldiers hurriedly came to report: "Report to the deputy commander, the enemy's entire army has been dispatched."
"The whole army is dispatched?"
"Yes, the 600,000-strong army is approaching here. They are less than 5 kilometers away from here and will arrive within an hour."
The deputy commander frowned: "Damn it, I was so busy rescuing that I didn't pay attention to the enemy's movements."
"What should we do? Now the city lord is missing, and even Li Banggu can't afford to be seriously injured. This battle will be difficult." Another deputy captain asked.
"This battle is not easy to fight in the first place. Even if there are city walls and barriers, we are already struggling. Now that the east gate wall is gone and there are 100,000 fewer soldiers, it is impossible for us to win."
"you mean?"
"Well, let the whole army retreat."
"But there is no time to evacuate the materials and resources in the city."
"You've thought too much. Thank God for being able to evacuate everyone now. As for the supplies and stuff, we can only give up."
"Ao Lie will probably be furious, right?"
"Don't worry, Guo Jia will speak for us. If we retreat now, we can at least save hundreds of thousands of soldiers, workers and civilians. If we delay any longer, the whole army will really be annihilated."
"I understand, we can only retreat."
On the 200th day of the apocalypse, Chen Yuan's legion and the three armies of the Western Province successfully recaptured Gran City without spending a single soldier. They captured countless supplies and equipment, as well as tens of thousands of wounded soldiers and laborers who had no time to evacuate. This battle can be described as fruitful.
After completely occupying the entire city, Xie Hu immediately ordered the restoration of the wall and gate of the east gate.
That night, Xie Hu summoned the leadership of the army and held a secret meeting. Chen Yuan, the group leader, did not attend this meeting because she was still asleep.
In addition to discussing future arrangements and plans, this secret meeting also had a major theme, which was to discuss Chen Yuan's identity.
"Everyone, maybe it is unbelievable for me to say this, but it is a fact. Our leader, she is probably Zhenhuang. No, it is not possible, but certain." Xie Hu said firmly.
The other senior officials are not fools either. They all know the end-of-the-world strategy and Zhenhuang's reputation. Everything that happened today was enough to prove that Chen Yuan was Zhenhuang.
"Actually, I have begun to doubt Chen Yuan a long time ago. After all, her age coincides with Zhenhuang's." said a deputy leader.
"Now is not the time for hindsight. I didn't know who it was before, saying what qualifications did Chen Yuan have to be the commander-in-chief of the armed forces." Another deputy commander said sarcastically.
"Hey, are you interested in saying this now?"
"Then it's interesting for you to think about it in hindsight?"
"That's enough, what time is it now, why are you making such a fuss!" Xie Hu roared.
After all, Xie Hu was the deputy captain with the oldest qualifications and the highest prestige, so the other deputy captains had to give face and stop the quarrel.
"Everyone, Chen Yuan is Zhenhuang. This is an indisputable fact. However, Chen Yuan does not know the apocalypse strategy."
"Don't know? She should know, right?"
"How should I put it? Chen Yuan knows about the existence of the Doomsday Strategy, but she has no interest in the Doomsday Strategy, so she hasn't read it and doesn't know the content. Therefore, Chen Yuan doesn't know how powerful she is. She also doesn’t know that the electromagnetic gun represents a reduction in lifespan.”
"so what?"
"The only people who know the details of the apocalypse strategy are a few of our senior leaders. I ask everyone to keep it secret and not let Chen Yuan know that the electromagnetic gun will shorten the lifespan." Xie Hu said solemnly.
"I understand," the other deputy commander smiled, "As long as Chen Yuan uses the electromagnetic gun without any scruples, our legion will be invincible and famous all over the world. And a few of us will also get rewards."
"Exactly, it seems that everyone understands it well." Xie Hu also smiled.
At the meeting, most of the 12 people present had the same idea as Xie Hu. But there was a deputy leader who found this approach very shameful.
"Are you really going to hide the truth from the leader? Do you really want to bear the leader's vitality to dry up?"
"How could it be? On average, every time Zhenhuang uses the electromagnetic gun, it will consume about half a year to a year of her life. But Zhenhuang can only use it once or twice a day at most. This means that it is still a long time before Zhenhuang's life force is exhausted. It's far away." Xie Hu explained.
"You're talking very lightly. Even if you only use it once a day, the leader won't be able to last for a year."
"Then let the captain help us defeat Yanhuang within one year. All of us will remember the captain and I will worship her as a god." Xie Hu's expression was very exaggerated, as if he really planned to worship Chen Yuan as a god. .
"You... don't you think this is shameful?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Xie Hu suddenly got angry and roared, "If you have the ability, go and defeat Yanhuang. If you don't have the ability, don't make a fuss. Don't you know the current situation in our Kingdom of Snow? We have already There is no way out, do you have to wait until our country of snow is driven out and killed before you can understand?"
Xie Hu's words were fierce, but deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In this battle, there is indeed no choice. Perhaps, it was already a mistake from the moment he left the Kingdom of Snow to invade Yanhuang. But now, there is no other choice but to go all the way.
"Oh, I understand. Just follow everyone's wishes." The deputy commander finally compromised.
On the 201st day of the apocalypse, Chen Yuan woke up and stood on the top of the tallest skyscraper in Grand City. She spread her hands and looked down at the entire city.
The occupation of this city also doubled Chen Yuan's confidence.
Chen Yuan closed his eyes and stood on the edge of the building, feeling the breeze.
Xie Hu also came to the top of the building and asked respectfully: "Excuse me, captain, where should we attack next?"
Chen Yuan slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were very cold, losing their original aura and the tenderness and tenderness that a girl should have.
"You make arrangements. Next, the road to revenge has just begun." The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth actually slightly raised, revealing a death-like smile.
On the 202nd day of the end, Chen Yuan commanded the three armies and continued to regain the road to the Western Province.
"Boom!" A small city was destroyed.
"Boom!" Another small city was destroyed.
"Boom!" Another small city was destroyed.
"Boom!" The giant city wall of Erdos City, known as the impregnable city, was directly blown down. Chen Yuan's army marched straight in, catching the defenders off guard.
In less than a month, the three armies of the Western Province led by Chen Yuan recaptured hundreds of cities, large and small, and intercepted and captured millions of enemy soldiers and prisoners. The morale of the whole army is high and they are invincible.
Chen Yuan's reputation has spread all over the country, and almost everyone knows about it.
As the saying goes, when you become famous, you can no longer hide many things. Whether it was within the three armies of the Western Province or enemy prisoners, the news that Chen Yuan was Zhenhuang was spreading, and Xie Hu tried his best to ban the discussion to no avail. Not to mention the military, even the common people are spreading the name Zhenhuang.
As for Chen Yuan herself, she has gradually let go of the name Chen Yuan. I don’t know since when, Chen Yuan’s name gradually disappeared, and Zhenhuang’s name was known to everyone on the road.
Every time Zhenhuang wanted to raise troops to attack a new city, Xie Hu asked Zhenhuang to give a speech to encourage the three armies.
Zhenhuang stood on the top of the tower, looking down at the three armies.
There were densely packed soldiers below, nearly a million of them, all holding up their weapons and shouting: Zhenhuang, Zhenhuang, Zhenhuang...
That voice resounded through the sky, inspiring everyone's heart.
Zhenhuang's name has almost become synonymous with the God of Thunder. Countless soldiers and generals silently believed in Zhenhuang as their goddess.
The name Zhenhuang spread not only throughout Yanhuang, but also to the distant Snow Country.
