Chapter 180: Hero Company
Xia Country.
Supernatural Safety Monitoring Center.
The monitor watching Yun Country suddenly lit up with an alarm. The observer checked the data on the screen, and his expression abruptly changed. He immediately reported the situation to his superior.
“Sir, something happened in the Yun Country. It’s very serious.”
Soon, many officers arrived.
“What’s the situation?” A senior officer asked.
The observer pulled up the data and a few images.
The observer said, “Sir, the data fits the energy fluctuations of monsters, but these fluctuations are very weak.”
The screen cut to Monet Island in Yun Country. “Due to the strong magnetic interference, the image was rather blurry.
“However, I suspect that the energy fluctuations originated from here.”
“Sir, from this image, we can clearly see that the walls on Monet Island have collapsed.
“Although this scene is blurry, we can still see white creatures moving. Moreover, there are a lot of them, and the energy fluctuations from the monsters come from these creatures.”
“Sir, we have never seen any monsters this small since discovering them. Moreover, the energy fluctuations are so weak. This is the first time we have discovered them.”
The officers had grave expressions as they held their chins and pondered.
…
New Roe.
The country closest to the Yun Country, and also right next to Xia Country.
At one o’clock in the morning, the coastline of New Roe was brightly lit. The workers were constructing the high walls as usual.
At this moment, armored vehicles were driving on the road not far away. The rumbling engines of fighter jets could be heard in the sky, and battleships appeared in the sea.
The workers were especially surprised to see such a scene.
The armored vehicles stopped.
After the soldiers got off. They specially arranged for transportation to bring these workers away.
After sending off the workers, the soldiers began to set up defenses along the coastline. They put up cannons and various powerful weapons.
…
At the same time, in a high-level conference hall in Xia Country.
The various generals called for an emergency meeting for this matter in the Yun Country.
At this moment, the communication device sent a message.
“General, those out-of-control experimental subjects from Yun Country are rushing towards New Roe.”
Each of the generals pulled a long face, and their gazes were filled with anger.
A general angrily slapped the table and said, “These bastards from the Yun Country are really asking for a beating. They want us to clean up their mess every time.
“If possible, I’ll immediately lead the Black Tiger Battalion to crush Yun Country.”
“General Gao, calm down. The most important thing now is how to resolve this crisis.”
“Given New Roe’s temperament, they definitely wouldn’t go all out to destroy those experimental subjects.
“New Roe is right next to us. Once the experimental subjects break through their defense line, it will ultimately affect us.
“Therefore, we must definitely keep those experimental subjects outside and not leave any potential dangers behind. ”
“Then what should we do?”
“Send troops to New Roe.” The person who spoke was the high-ranking general of Xia Country—Yu Yangbo.
He initiated the meeting. At the same time, he was one of the few with the greatest authority.
When he said this, the generals present were very surprised.
Although New Roe was not strong, they couldn’t send out troops just like that. That was a serious matter.
Yu Yangbo’s face was grim as he continued, “This is also the President’s intention.”
President?
The generals were shocked again.
“He has already spoken to New Roe.
“The manic experimental subjects from Yun Country are as dangerous as a nuclear leakage. The situation is very serious.
“Once the experimental subjects spread out, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
The generals nodded. They still had some understanding of those experimental subjects.
The crisis this stemmed had stemmed from genetic modification.
Genetic modification technology was prohibited on the surface, but in secret, almost 90% of countries around the world were secretly researching it.
Monet Island was an important genetic modification research facility in Yun Country.
Their genetic modifications had been leading the world.
Due to the discovery of monsters, they wondered what would happen if they transplanted the monsters’ genes into humans.
They then began their research and experiments.
The experimental subjects that went out of control this time were the product of the combination of the monster genes and humans.
As they carried monster genes and were still in the experimental phase, no one knew how they would grow.
It was definitely very dangerous for humans.
“General Gao, I’ll leave the task of eliminating the experiment subjects to you,” Yu Yangbo said.
“Yes!” Gao Tianliang quickly stood up. “I’m going to gather the Black Tiger Battalion now and head straight to New Roe.”
“Also, General Gao, when you go over this time, bring the Hero Company along,” Yu Yangbo added.
Hero Company?
When the generals heard this term, their eyes widened in disbelief.
“Marshal Yu, I didn’t hear wrongly, did I! Hero Company? That group of freshmen?” Gao Tianliang said in shock.
Yu Yangbo nodded solemnly. “You didn’t hear wrongly. It’s the Hero Company.”
For a time, the atmosphere in the meeting room became chaotic.
“Marshal Yu, the Hero Company has only been established for less than two months. Furthermore, they are all university students. They don’t have any experience. Won’t they cause more trouble if they’re put straight on the battlefield?
“More importantly, this crisis is not an ordinary one. I think it’s too early to let them come into contact with things that have never been publicized.” A general expressed his opinion.
The other generals agreed.
Gao Tianming said seriously, “Marshal Yu, I admit that the students in Hero Company are indeed one in a thousand. Their potential is even better than ours.
“But they have been living very sheltered lives until recently, after all. It is not appropriate to let them enter the battlefield directly.
“Besides, the situations on the battlefield are ever-changing. If there are any casualties, how are we going to answer to their parents?”
Yu Yangbo said in a deep voice, “It’s?because?of their sheltering that they need to be toughened up in advance.
“Must we wait until the monsters attack the cities before pulling them out?
“Everyone present is aware of the current situation. No one can guarantee that the monsters will only wake up in three years’ time. What if they awaken next year, next month, or even tomorrow?!
“The President has high hopes for the Hero Company. They are an important strength for our future fight against the monsters. They needed to grow, and very quickly at that.
“They will only begin to understand their mission and responsibility on the battlefield.”
Everyone fell silent.
Gao Tianliang pondered for a moment and asked, “Marshal Yu, does the President intend to have the Hero Company go on?”
Yu Yangbo nodded.
“I understand.” Gao Tianliang saluted and promptly left the meeting room.
…
At a military training base.
The lights in a certain dormitory suddenly lit up.
The trainers were shouting downstairs.
“Gather! Gather!”
All of a sudden, there was a commotion.
Two to three minutes later, young men and women in military uniforms ran downstairs one after another.
They lined up in an orderly manner.
Their faces were filled with the aura of youth, and they seemed to be in their twenties.
They came from various universities, and after layers of screening, they formed a company of 300 people called the Hero Company.
The Hero Company was split into three columns, with two trainers allocated to each column.
Everyone in Hero Company didn’t find it strange that they were gathered so suddenly in the wee hours. Such things had often happened ever since they came here.
Therefore, they were already used to it.
Even so, they still had some complaints.
After all, they had not had a proper sleep since they came here.
“Attention!”
“At ease!”
“Report strength!”
The trainer’s gaze resembled a ferocious tiger as it swept across the members of their respective teams.
“Instructor, Team One reporting strength, 100/100 people.”
“Instructor, Team Two reporting strength, 100/100 people.”
“Instructor, Team Three reporting strength, 100/100 people.”
“Very good!” The instructors carefully observed
each member, expressing their affirmation.
They had observed these soldiers’ performance over the past two months.
Although they used to be university students, they could adapt to life in the military very quickly.
They were one in a thousand talents with great potential.
A burly man walked over from afar.
This man was dressed in a military uniform. From the stars on his shoulder, one could tell that he was a general.
Ye Shi came to the front of the entire company.
He was the person in charge of the entire company.
Ye Shi examined everyone and said, “Warriors of the Hero Company, you will be carrying out a very difficult mission.
“Are you confident of completing it?”
o cuz
“Yes! Yes! Yes!”
“Your voices aren’t loud enough. Did you guys not eat?! Are you out of confidence already?!”
In the face of Ye Shi’s criticism, everyone grew fiery. They took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Their voices were loud enough to pierce through the clouds, and the morale instantly rose.
Ye Shi was satisfied with this strong response.
There was a moment of silence.
Ye Shi went on, “In a while, you will follow the Black Tiger Battalion to New Roe and participate in a siege mission.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of all the members of the Hero Company changed abruptly. They were surprised and confused.
We’ve only been here for a short while, and we are already going on the battlefield? Isn’t this too sudden?
The trainers were also surprised.
Although they had completed the basic training quite well over the past two months, it was obviously not enough for them to be suddenly put on the battlefield.
The key was still the Black Tiger Battalion.
The Black Tiger Battalion was an elite unit in the Xia army, so this mission was definitely not ordinary.
It was too risky to let the recruits of the Hero Company join them.
The instructors were puzzled and asked Ye Shi.
Ye Shi said straightforwardly, “This is what the President wants.”
The instructors instantly had nothing left to say.
If the President ordered it, he must have his reasons.
Then, Ye Shi said to the Hero company, “This is your first time on the battlefield. I think everyone is more or less a little scared.
“When I was young, I was just like you guys. When I found out that I was going to the battlefield, I was terrified and couldn’t sleep well the entire night.
“To be honest, even now, I will still feel a little afraid when I am going on the battlefield.
“What I feared was not death, but the mission and duty of being a soldier. I feared that if I failed to complete the task given to me by my superiors, I would disappoint my country and my people.
“This was all I feared.
“As members of the Hero Company, I have always had high expectations of you. You will be heading to the battlefield soon. I hope that you can quickly adjust and welcome this test in your best condition.
“Of course, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and its dangerous. You might lose your life if you aren’t careful.”
After hearing these words, the Hero Company became even more terrified.
This was especially so for the girls. When faced with such a situation, their mental state would be weaker. They were so frightened that their faces were pale, and their bodies turned weak. They almost passed out.
And many people now had some thoughts.
They wondered if the higher-ups were letting the new recruits be baits and serve as cannon fodder.
At this thought, many of them felt especially regretful.
We shouldn’t have come here.
I’m going to sacrifice my life for the country at such a young age. I can’t accept this!
This was what they were thinking.
Ye Shi raised his hand to look at his watch and then said to everyone, “As this is your first time on the battlefield, according to usual practice, you are allowed to speak with your family.
“I think you all know very well what can be said and what cannot be said.”
Then, the trainers distributed their phones to them.
“You have ten minutes. Make the best use of it!” said Ye Shi.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the members of the Hero company immediately switched on their phones and called their families.
Ye Shi scanned the crowd for a while before his gaze landed on a certain recruit.
It was a female. She was tall and elegant.
This girl was Zhao Xuanxuan.
Standing beside Zhao Xuanxuan was Sun Lingxiao.
“Senior, have you contacted my grandma?” Sun Lingxiao asked.
Zhao Xuanxuan nodded, then pulled Sun Lingxiao to a corner and handed her the conch-like magical artifact used for communication.
…
New Roe Coast.
It was two in the morning.
Waves suddenly rose on the calm sea surface, followed by beast-like snarls.
Strange white creatures appeared in everyone’s sight.
These white creatures were the experimental subjects that had escaped from Monet Island in Yun Country.
They could run on the sea and swim quickly underwater.
This was the first time the soldiers of New Roe saw such creatures. They were puzzled.
Alien creatures?
Unknown creatures from the deep sea?
Genetic mutants?
The soldiers had many questions in their hearts.
At this moment, the officers shouted, “Attention, everyone! Prepare for battle!”
“All artillerymen, listen to my command. Aim at the sea ahead and prepare to fire.”
“Three, two, one!”
“Fire!”
Accompanied by the booming sound of the cannons, flames streaked across the night sky.
Missiles launched from the ground, and the warships smashed into the sea where the strange creatures were gathered.
In an instant, huge fireballs lit up on the surface of the sea, shaking and creating massive waves.
Large numbers of strange creatures were blasted to smithereens, dying in the bombardment of shells.
However, there were a lot of them. Although many of them had been killed by this wave of bombing, it didn’t affect the overall situation much.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shells were fired one after another, turning the sea into a sea of fire.
The temperature in November was a little cold, but under the bombardment of missiles, the air felt like a hot summer wind. It only took a few seconds before one became drenched in sweat.
As there were too many strange creatures, they ultimately managed to land on the shore.
On the coast, the soldiers were on high alert. They gripped machine guns and cannons in their hands as they faced the strange aggressive creatures. Although they were fearful, they did not retreat.
At the same time, fighter jets that did not belong to New Roe roared in the distance.
