Chapter 311 The Giant Beast Strikes Again
The next day, Li Chenglong had just woken up when he heard a rather urgent knocking on the bedroom door. He quickly dressed and went out to see what was happening. It was Su Qian. Su Qian said somewhat anxiously, "Lord, the Central Computer Office just called and said they have something urgent to discuss with you." Only then did Li Chenglong realize that he had put the crystal phone into his spiritual energy space the day before and had forgotten to take it out.
He went out, closed the bedroom door, and took out his crystal phone. Immediately, a flood of text messages came in, and there were also many messages on the chat app "Super Message." Less than three seconds later, Zhao Liying called and said, "Captain Li, headquarters sent a support request half an hour ago, saying that several giant beasts have landed near the Anxi base, and their estimated level may be 12. So, as a precaution, General Chen Guoqiang sent us a support order."
Li Chenglong ordered them to gather the relevant personnel immediately, and rushed out without even washing his face. He told Yunlan to rest, as she was quite tired from last night. Five minutes later, Li Chenglong contacted General Chen Guoqiang, learned the general situation, and that several more giant beasts were gradually approaching the Anxi base. He assured them that reinforcements would arrive within an hour.
Meanwhile, members of the Central Computer Office acted swiftly, sending notifications to all relevant departments. To save time, Li Chenglong instructed those who received the notifications not to assemble, but to go directly to the Dawn City Air Force Base and depart on the Dawn. Because the enemy they were dealing with was a very high-level behemoth, ordinary ability users would be of little use, so only a small number of people were notified to go and provide support; most were ability users of level 10 or higher.
Twenty minutes later, everyone assembled at the Dawn City Air Force Base. Li Chenglong didn't say much, letting them board the spaceship first, explaining the situation as they walked. There were 30 superhumans participating in this support mission, including highly capable awakened individuals such as Lei Qingcheng, an 11th-level A-grade Illusionary Butterfly Spirit Awakener; Li Xue, a 10th-level A-grade Mermaid Spirit Awakener; and Zhao Liying, a 10th-level A-grade Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Awakener. There were also powerful superhumans such as Wu Gang, a 10th-level Wind and Fire dual-element superhuman; and Zheng Aiguo, a 10th-level Strength and Earth dual-element superhuman.
Before the spaceship even took off, a fiery red figure swept in from afar—it was Yun Lan. Having heard the news that Li Chenglong had led men to support headquarters, she rushed over without even combing her hair, only hastily washing her face. She was definitely going this time; after the last sea monster mission, she felt she wasn't far from leveling up. If she could slay one or two giant beasts this time, she would very likely level up.
With everyone fully assembled, the Dawn took off slowly and vertically, then sped away into the distance. Inside, in a combat conference room, Li Xue was giving a brief intelligence briefing, drawing on information from the Information Support Department and the Central Computer Office.
Li Xue, referring to the large screen in the command center, said: "At 4 a.m. today, four alien beasts landed one after another 5-8 km from the Anxi base and launched an attack on the base. After the soldiers fought bravely, these four giant beasts were eliminated one by one. However, at 5 a.m., another six giant beasts gradually landed. The headquarters is still in a fierce battle. Our mission to provide support is to help the headquarters eliminate these giant beasts."
Because of the short timeframe and the fact that headquarters was still fighting the giant beasts, Li Chenglong received very little intelligence. However, given the Dawn's speed, it would reach headquarters in less than half an hour. Li Chenglong used this time to wash up with Yun Lan in the captain's cabin. Meanwhile, Han Xiaoling also took out a large amount of crystal recovery potions and flame fruits from her storage space and distributed them to everyone who would be participating in the battle later.
After her last haircut, Yunlan cut her hair short to shoulder length and tied it into a ponytail, looking very capable. Li Chenglong, on the other hand, had always had a standard buzz cut since joining the army at 17, at most slightly longer. Li Chenglong considered himself quite handsome; back in the special operations unit, he was the most handsome guy. Yunlan, needless to say, had phoenix eyes, willow eyebrows, a delicate nose, and cherry lips; her face was beautiful and unique, and her slightly upturned lips often carried a confident and faint smile. Coupled with her tall, slender 175cm frame and curvaceous figure, she was captivating to many in the army back then.
Li Chenglong tied Yunlan's hair into a single ponytail, and then they heard a ship-wide announcement from the cockpit: "We will arrive at headquarters in 5 minutes. All personnel involved in the battle, please prepare." When the two of them went out, everyone had already put on their new combat uniforms, and all kinds of equipment had been prepared. They were just waiting for a good battle.
These new combat uniforms come in two styles: autumn/spring and summer/autumn. Each person can receive three of each style per year. For those with supernatural abilities, the uniforms will differ from those of ordinary soldiers, incorporating a significant amount of exotic beast silk during production to suit the combat requirements of different ability users. As for cost, one combat uniform for an ability user costs as much as one level-five green crystal, while each uniform for an ordinary soldier costs one level-three orange crystal.
At this moment, the Anxi base sent in the latest intelligence: including the five giant beasts from the third wave, seven giant beasts were still alive. Li Chenglong immediately made contact, assigning the four strongest giant beasts from the third wave to Dawn City, and the remaining three to the people at the Anxi base. After such a long battle, the superhumans at the Anxi base were exhausted, and knowing Li Chenglong's arrangement, they were naturally happy to accept it.
Li Chenglong closed the Eye of the True Dragon and said to the people behind him, "We are responsible for dealing with the four strongest of the five giant beasts in the third wave. I just checked, one of those four beasts is level 12, I'll take that one. Another is late level 11, Yunlan, Li Xue, and Lei Qingcheng will take that one. The other two are early level 11 beasts, Wu Gang, Zhao Liying, and Zheng Aiguo, you guys will take those one. Be careful, these beasts are much stronger than the ones we fought before."
After the deployment was complete, the Dawn reached its designated position and slowly landed on the ground. To prevent damage to the warship, the Dawn would take off again after Li Chenglong and his group disembarked. Li Chenglong pointed out the locations of the giant beasts they were responsible for, and the team-based superhumans briefly discussed their tactics before rushing towards their targets.
Meanwhile, a battle report was promptly delivered to General Chen Guoqiang's desk. Upon reading it, Chen Guoqiang learned that the first wave of four giant beasts and the second wave of four giant beasts had been killed, leaving seven giant beasts remaining on the battlefield. Although the current results were quite good, the casualties were enormous. A rough estimate indicated that no fewer than 10,000 soldiers had died, including over 1000 brave and skilled superhumans.
At this moment, Secretary Han Fei knocked on the door and came in, somewhat excitedly, saying, "Reporting to the commander, the reinforcements from Dawn City have arrived and are already engaged in the battle. General Shangguan Jingyun's convoy from Black Gold City should arrive within an hour at the latest." General Chen Guoqiang immediately stood up and said, "Good, very good. Let's go out and take a look. Once Li Chenglong and the others arrive, we're sure to win!"
