Ten minutes ago.
"Colonel, we have begun arranging for people to evacuate the Second City. Transportation can begin this afternoon."
Adjutant Xu reported:
"There are a total of 127 million recorded residents, and each household can only carry 20kg of luggage. According to the weight, quantity and transportation speed of our large transport spacecraft, it will take 140 round trips to reach the buffer zone shelter, day and night. In addition, it will take about ten days to cover the entire city."
"Ten days is too long," Bo Lingyu frowned, "What if we add other non-combat aircraft and trains on the road?"
"Colonel, we have eliminated residents who have booked trains in ten days, otherwise it will take us longer. As for non-combat aircraft... then the frontline material transportation speed will slow down, military equipment cannot be used by civilians, and there are Half of them have been mobilized by the inspector to transfer research equipment and researchers.”
"Aircraft..." Bai Lingyu held his forehead, "I'm afraid we won't be able to use the aircraft to transport supplies."
Cargo aircraft are used to transport emergency supplies and weapons over long distances. In this kind of battlefield, they are usually used to support outposts. However, if the aliens attack in a large scale and approach the city gate, the outposts will bear the brunt and may not even survive. question.
However, the sentry post is the first line of city defense. What we strive for is the prime time for command preparation. There is no such option as "early retreat".
Adjutant Xu: "What did you say?"
"Then send one-third of the remaining large aircraft to support the evacuation. The faster the evacuation, the better. But order must be ensured to avoid dissatisfaction among residents and causing chaos due to the evacuation sequence."
Bai Lingyu stood in front of the main command screen, the radar continuously scanned and returned signals, the infrared scanner was fully turned on, and the intelligence from the outpost was transmitted back in real time:
"Also, have the losses caused by the [Spring Cold] been reported? And have the pollution elements that fell with the [Spring Cold] been cleaned up?"
"Nearly 60% of the area has been cleared. Relevant personnel are speeding up and the cleanup is expected to be completed within two hours."
"The sooner the better..."
Didi didi——
The radar issued a rapid warning, and Bai Lingyu suddenly raised his head.
Two outposts on the front line issued early warnings at the same time!
Day and night are reversed, darkness suddenly falls, and the blood moon replaces the sun, just for a few breaths.
Southern Outpost.
Thousands of vines climbed up the outpost, countless coquettish stamens bloomed under the blood moon, and purple-red pollen engulfed the field of vision.
"Press the alarm..."
Before the soldier finished speaking, the pollution swallowed his mind and killed him instantly.
Large tracts of charming flowers bloomed all over the light snow. As the wind surged towards the tall city ahead, the corpses instantly turned into withered bones and scattered in the wind. The sea of flowers submerged the outpost. Countless alien beasts rushed out of the forest. The screen was covered with snowflakes and the screen was disconnected. .
East Coast Outpost.
The sea water surged, and the high waves lifted up the sky. A giant transparent whale about a hundred meters long swung its tail and jumped out, like a scarlet wave under the red moon. As the screaming seabirds swallowed up the defense line, the camera screen shattered. .
There was no time to pick up weapons to resist, no time to even struggle.
"Sound the alarm, place a curfew in the city, activate all forts! All combat aircraft take off, all searchlights on the city walls are turned on, and all power grids are deployed."
"yes!"
All the technical staff responded, and the general podium became tense.
Bai Lingyu picked up his military jacket and went straight to the frontline command podium.
He never stays in the safe rear. Only when he faces the danger at the front can he be keenly aware of the slightest changes.
…
"It's a full-blown explosion."
Bai Shu stood on the balcony and looked at the power grid set up in the sky.
The sound of gunfire and the screams of aliens continued, and her grip on the window sill became tighter and tighter.
It's been over seven hours.
"Small technique!"
Avril looked at Baizhu's back quietly, hesitated for a moment, smiled, and went out with the doll in her arms: "It's dark, let's rest."
Bai Zhu looked sideways, Avril pulled her into her room by the hem of her clothes, and took all the dolls out of bed, leaving only the rag doll.
"Xiao Shu, you are unhappy," Avril asked in a low voice when she noticed that Bai Shu couldn't sleep, "Can I sing you a lullaby?"
It turns out that he really wanted to coax me.
Bai Shu couldn't help but laugh in his heart, he smiled lightly and shook his head.
The sound of gunfire continued outside, and her smile disappeared in the next second.
"If you don't want to hear it, can you tell me why you're sad? Just tell me if you're unhappy. I won't tell others." Avril turned sideways, "This is a secret between good friends."
"It's not that I'm unhappy," Bai Zhu turned around and looked out the window at the corner of the sky that was lit up by artillery fire. "It's just that I can't do anything now, so I'm a little unwilling."
"What are you going to do, Xiao Shu?"
Avril placed the doll between the two of them and gave half to Baizhu:
"You are just a kid, you don't have much power, and you don't have that much money. Defending the city is Colonel Bai's business, and you can't interfere. Even if you and Colonel Bai are... that won't work, even if you reach the front line. Nothing can be done.”
"I'm not so overestimating my abilities and trying to be a commander."
Bai Zhu is telling the truth.
Bai Lingyu's commanding ability is no worse than anyone else, and she can't help much when she reaches the front line.
Moreover, Bai Shu was not familiar with the actual combat terrain, troop deployment, ammunition storage, marching routes, generals' personalities, current battle conditions, etc. in the Second City.
Defending the city is no child's play, and there is no room for carelessness.
Avril thought seriously: "Xiao Shu, do you think Sister Ning is great?"
"Yeah, of course."
"I think so too. She is the most powerful adult I have ever seen with my own eyes." Avril held Bai Shu's hand, making the darkness warm. "But she can't do anything about these things. Not to mention you, Xiao Shu ?”
Bai Zhu looked stunned.
Yes, let alone her?
A little brat who has just returned to the past less than a week ago, has no military power, no influence, and is not even an adult yet.
Even though she once called the shots and held great power, now she has nothing and must accept this extreme gap.
There was rustling beside the bed, and Avril moved closer: "Have you done everything you can do?"
Bai Shu whispered: "Yeah."
"That's enough Xiao Shu, you are so powerful." Avril laughed, wrapped herself in a thin quilt and got into Baizhu's arms, hugging her hard, "Our family's Xiao Shu is the most powerful! It will be even more powerful in the future!"
Bai Zhu pursed his lips and reached out to touch Avril's head, feeling quite comforted in his heart: "Thank you."
"Family members don't need to say thank you."
Avril raised her head, kissed her cheek:
"Good night, Xiao Shu.
"Don't be sad anymore. I will be with you today, tomorrow, and in the future. We will all be fine. It doesn't matter whether it's two cities or one city. As long as our family is together, it doesn't matter even if we change many places. relation."
Bai Shu opened his mouth: "I..."
I will not retreat to one city.
But she didn't say anything in the end. She lowered her eyes and helped Avril pull down the corner of the quilt:
"Good night."
