Chapter 40: The Soul of China
Chapter 40: The Soul of China (Part )
"Chief Jia?" Yang Yu had nothing to do now, so he followed everyone to collect some useful materials, especially the beast general-level rat king that was buried in the pile of rat corpses. It was a good opportunity to find it and get the materials.
Among the rat corpses all over the ground, the rat skins of beast-soldier-level monsters have very good defensive power. With a little processing, they can become very good defensive inner armor.
"Yes, it's Chief Jia Yi!"
"Commander Jia Yi once single-handedly killed a mutant wolf king that even heavy machine guns and howitzers could not defeat, dispersed the mutant wolf pack, and saved hundreds of soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians. That battle also made Commander Jia Yi famous."
When talking about Jia Yi, Zhang Tieshan's face was full of admiration.
"Jia Yi, the number one man in the Chinese military, is also one of the five heroes on Earth who voluntarily sacrificed himself in the battle of the Golden Horned Beast. Yang Yu was deeply impressed by him when he read the original novel in his previous life. Sure enough, his strength is already very good now. Listening to Lao Zhang's description, he is almost as strong as a mid-level general."
While helping to process the rat skin, Yang Yu thought about it and then said, "Chief Jia is truly a hero. I must meet him if I have the chance."
"Haha, this opportunity is easy to find. Chief Jia is at the military command center right now. He will rush to help wherever a powerful monster breaks into the defense circle. The chief just gave us a direct order. After we collect the spoils, we will take you to see the chief, and you can also meet Chief Jia by the way."
Zhang Tieshan said as he peeled the rat skin deftly.
"Commander?" Yang Yu asked in confusion. "Okay, we'll go meet him when we're done." With Yang Yu's strength, he couldn't avoid meeting these real high-ranking military officials, and he would have to meet them one day.
Yang Yu actually didn't reject it, but he didn't want to join the military either. With his freedom-loving personality, he couldn't stand being bound.
After the great nirvana is over, Yang Yu will continue to search the world for relics of ancient civilizations and obtain as many inheritances and spaceships as possible.
After all, after the Great Nirvana, there are still crises such as the golden-horned beast and Nuolan Mountain to come.
The existence of these objective crises makes it impossible for Yang Yu to stop moving forward.
Although these crises could be resolved after Luo Feng appeared, the price paid before that was too high. Yang Yu wanted to fight as hard as he could to see if he could leave a few more talented warriors for mankind. This could also be regarded as making up for the regrets of the past.
But to do this, you need enough strength!
But fortunately, there is still plenty of time. The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, help the authorities establish a base city, and save as many ordinary people as possible.
Of course, Yang Yu himself can also be tempered in this process. Through this battle, Yang Yu also deeply realized the importance of fighting to improving strength.
You can't cultivate strong strength and tenacious will by just practicing hard.
After spending two and a half hours removing all the rat materials that had reached the beast soldier level, Yang Yu followed Zhang Tieshan into the armored vehicle and drove towards the Jiangnan City Defense Command Center.
"Xiao Yang, you killed all these mutant rats by yourself, so these military merits should be yours. Whether you join the army in the future or become a free warrior like Chief Jia, you can use these military merits."
Along the way, Zhang Tieshan introduced the current military merit system to Yang Yu.
Killing an ordinary monster will earn you 10 military merits, and killing a monster leader will earn you 1000 military merits.
Of course, this military merit system is still very rough, and even the more specific strength classifications of ordinary monsters and monster leaders have not yet been sorted out.
Of course, it may also be because not enough monsters have been killed and the corresponding system for human warriors has not been established.
However, if calculated this way, the military merits of high-level beast soldier monsters and low-level beast soldier monsters are the same, which is naturally not very fair.
However, Yang Yu did not care much about these things. Even if he had great military achievements, so what? He had no intention of developing in the military, and the good things that could be exchanged now were also very limited.
"So Xiao Yang, you now have 20230 military merits. The rat king is worth 1000 of them, and the other mutant rats that have reached the strength of monsters are worth 19230."
Zhang Tieshan said as he looked at the military merit record summarized on the special watch.
"Have you got 20,000 military merits? Then what can be exchanged for these military merits? Tell me, Lao Zhang."
Although he didn't have much expectations, Yang Yu was still a little curious.
"Ahem, since this military merit system is still being perfected, the items that can be exchanged are actually limited. If you are already in the army, you can use your military merits to upgrade your rank, position, better weapons and equipment, etc. If you are a free warrior, you can choose to join the army, or exchange for money, various weapons and equipment, etc. There is a specific exchange list, Xiao Yang, you will know after you look at it later."
Chatting with Lao Zhang all the way, the two soon arrived at the command center, got out of the car, and followed Lao Zhang's guidance to a heavily guarded building.
After going through numerous security checks and making sure everything was okay, the two entered the building.
Along the way, Yang Yu saw that people in every room were extremely busy, busy monitoring the battle scenes on the big screen. Once there was a call for rescue, the person in charge of this area would mobilize support forces and ammunition and weapons.
"We have divided the entire Jiangnan City into one hundred specific defense nodes. Each node has a dedicated monitoring center and special administrative personnel are on duty 24 hours a day to monitor it." Lao Zhang explained.
Looking at the scenes of resisting monster attacks on every large surveillance screen, Yang Yu's originally relaxed heart became heavy.
Many scenes showed human soldiers using up their machine gun bullets outside the defense circle, and before they had time to replace the ammunition, they encountered monsters that broke through the gap.
In desperation, they could only take up swords and other weapons to resist.
But these soldiers who were only slightly stronger than ordinary people were no match for the monsters and were basically killed by them in just three or two rounds.
But their sacrifice will not be in vain. Their comrades around them will take this time to reload their ammunition and kill the monsters in the shortest time possible.
Of course, the worst-case scenario can also happen.
There were too many monsters that suddenly poured in, causing the first line of defense in the local area to suddenly collapse, and all the defending soldiers were killed.
Then a second line of defense will appear, and at the same time, soldiers in the army who have reached the warrior level will be dispatched to try to eliminate all the fleeing monsters within the third line of defense.
If a monster appears that cannot be solved, Jia Yi will take action.
Watching the extremely brutal battle on the screen all the way, Yang Yu's desire to kill, which had originally calmed down, rose again.
"These monster sons of bitches!"
"Wait for me to take care of you!"
Although he was very anxious, Yang Yu still followed Lao Zhang upstairs in silence.
