Chapter 272: Dabei City
Dabei City, a prosperous city on the edge of the Zerg world, appears exceptionally peaceful in the afterglow of the setting sun. However, under the tranquility, an undercurrent is surging, and an unprecedented crisis is quietly approaching.
They have spent countless days and nights in the Zerg world. Not only have they adapted to life here, they have also made friends with a group of like-minded partners, including Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, and four Zerg siblings Li ?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li.
On this day, Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying were drinking tea and chatting in the teahouse jointly run by Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan. The teahouse was located in the center of Dabei City, and it was bustling with people coming and going. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence, and Wang Jun and Wang Kai rushed in with nervous expressions.
"Something bad is happening! A large number of Zerg rebels have appeared around Dabei City!" Wang Jun said breathlessly.
"Rebels?" Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying were shocked when they heard this. They knew that although the Zerg world was peaceful, there were always some forces that were dissatisfied with the status quo and were ready to make a move in secret.
Wang Kai took over the conversation and added: "Yes, these rebels are composed of a group of expelled Zerg nobles. They have strong strength and advanced weapons. It is said that their goal is to occupy Dabei City and use it as a base to challenge the Zerg Royal Court."
Hearing this, Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. They knew that once the rebels occupied Dabei City, it would not only destroy the peace here, but also bring great disaster to the entire Zerg world.
"We can't just sit there and watch," Zhang Ying said firmly.
"Yes, we must defend Dabei City and our home!" Lin Zhi also expressed the same determination.
So they immediately called together Li Yu, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li, as well as other partners in the teahouse, to discuss countermeasures. After some discussion, they decided to act separately, on the one hand to strengthen the defense of the teahouse, and on the other hand to go to the garrison camp in Dabei City to ask for support.
Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying took Wang Jun and Wang Kai, as well as Li Yu and Li Ming, to the garrison camp. On the way, they encountered many patrols of the rebels, but with their excellent fighting skills and tacit cooperation, they successfully avoided the sight of the rebels and successfully reached the camp.
When the garrison commander learned of their intention, he immediately expressed his willingness to provide support. However, due to the large number of rebels and the limited manpower of the garrison, they could only provide limited assistance.
"We must rely on our own strength." Lin Zhi said to Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying nodded in agreement. They knew that this battle would not only test their strength, but also their wisdom and courage.
After returning to the teahouse, they immediately began to set up defenses. Li Hua and Li Li were responsible for setting up traps and obstacles around the teahouse to slow down the rebels' attack, while Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying, Wang Jun and Wang Kai were responsible for setting up defenses inside the teahouse to prepare for the arrival of the rebels.
As night fell, Dabei City fell into silence. Only the teahouse was still dimly lit. Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying and others quietly waited for the arrival of the rebels, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.
Finally, a deafening burst of artillery fire broke the silence of the night. The rebels began to attack! Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying and others immediately joined the battle. With their excellent fighting skills and tacit cooperation, they successfully repelled the first wave of the rebels' attack.
However, the rebels did not give up. They constantly adjusted their tactics and intensified their offensive. Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying and others did not show any weakness. With their firm belief and tenacious perseverance, they repelled the rebels' attacks again and again.
The battle lasted all night, and both sides paid a heavy price. However, under the leadership of Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying, the defense line of the teahouse was never broken. In the end, the rebels had to retreat due to heavy casualties.
The night was as dark as ink, and the streets of Dabei City were filled with the smell of gunpowder. Lin Zhi stood solemnly in front of an abandoned warehouse, his eyes piercing through the dark night, trying to catch a trace of the enemy. Beside him was Zhang Ying, who also looked solemn, and the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai. The four Zerg siblings Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li spread out in a fan shape, guarding their retreat.
"The situation is not good," Lin Zhi whispered, his voice was particularly clear in the silent night, "The Zerg reinforcements are coming faster than expected."
Zhang Ying nodded, holding the energy gun tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible crisis at any time. "We have to find Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan as soon as possible. Their safety is of vital importance."
Wang Jun and Wang Kai looked at each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes. As Zerg warriors, they knew the importance of this battle. It not only concerned the safety of mankind, but also the future of the entire Zerg world.
"Let's split up," Wang Jun suggested. "I'll be in a group with Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying to search Huayuan. Wang Kai, you'll be in a group with Li and the others to look for Zhangyuan. Be sure to keep in touch, and gather as soon as you find someone."
Everyone nodded in agreement and quickly dispersed. Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying and Wang Jun walked along a narrow alley, taking every step carefully, fearing that they would trigger an unknown trap.
"This used to be a city where humans and Zerg lived together," Lin Zhi whispered, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "I didn't expect it to become a battlefield now."
Zhang Ying sighed and said nothing. She knew that behind this war, there were too many complicated emotions and conflicts of interest. She only hoped that she could find Hua Yuan as soon as possible to ensure her safety.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps in front. Lin Zhi immediately became alert and signaled Zhang Ying and Wang Jun to get ready. The three of them slowly moved forward until they saw a familiar figure.
"Huayuan!" Lin Zhi shouted in surprise.
Hua Yuan obviously heard their voices, she turned and ran over, her face full of anxiety and fatigue. "You are finally here! I...I..." She hesitated, as if there was something difficult to say.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhi asked with concern.
Hua Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Zhang Yuan was captured by the Zerg. They want to exchange her for something important."
Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying looked at each other with a hint of shock in their eyes. They had never expected that things would develop to this extent.
"We must act immediately," Wang Jun said in a deep voice, "rescue Zhang Yuan. We can't let her fall into the hands of the Zerg."
"But," Hua Yuan hesitated, "the Zerg are more powerful than we thought. If we go there rashly, I'm afraid..."
"No buts!" Lin Zhi interrupted her, "We can't abandon any of our companions. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we must face them together."
Hua Yuan nodded, with a determined light in her eyes. She knew that at this moment, they were no longer just companions, but comrades-in-arms who shared life and death.
The four quickly made a plan and decided to use the cover of night to sneak into the Zerg camp. They moved along a hidden path, avoiding Zerg patrols along the way.
Finally, they arrived at the edge of the Zerg camp. Through the sparse trees, they could see that the camp was brightly lit and Zerg warriors were busy shuttling back and forth.
"It seems that they are preparing for the upcoming battle." Zhang Ying said in a low voice.
Lin Zhi nodded and pointed to a tent not far away, which seemed to be heavily guarded. "Zhang Yuan should be imprisoned there."
Wang Jun frowned and said, "We have to think of a way to lure them away."
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. Lin Zhi and others immediately hid, only to see several Zerg warriors running by in a hurry, as if something urgent had happened.
"The opportunity has come!" Lin Zhi whispered. He signaled Wang Jun and Zhang Ying to get ready, and then rushed out.
The Zerg warriors obviously did not expect an enemy attack, and they were a little panicked for a while. Lin Zhi and others took the opportunity to rush into the tent and found the imprisoned Zhang Yuan.
"Zhang Yuan!" Lin Zhi shouted.
Zhang Yuan saw them and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You are finally here!"
Lin Zhi quickly untied Zhang Yuan's restraints, and the four of them prepared to evacuate. However, at this moment, a strong energy wave came. They knew that the Zerg reinforcements had arrived.
"Hurry up!" Lin Zhi shouted. The four of them quickly rushed out of the tent and started a fierce battle with the Zerg warriors.
In the darkness of the night, the sounds of gunfire and explosions intertwined to form a tragic war song. With extraordinary courage and wisdom, Lin Zhi and his companions killed the enemy all the way and finally broke out of the Zerg camp.
When they stood outside the camp and looked at the blazing fire behind them, they were filled with gratitude for having survived the disaster. They knew that this battle was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go. But as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
"Let's go." Lin Zhi said. He looked at his comrades around him, with a determined light in his eyes.
It was particularly peaceful in the afterglow of the setting sun. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying stood at a high point in the city, overlooking the city that was about to undergo a huge transformation. In their eyes, there was both a vision for the future and a serious understanding of the current challenges.
“Linzhi, look at this Dabei City. Although it seems a bit shabby now, I can feel its potential vitality.” Zhang Ying pointed to the staggered buildings below, with a gleam in his eyes.
Lin Zhi nodded, with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed deep thought: "Yes, Zhang Ying. It has been a while since we traveled to this Zerg world. From the initial confusion to gradually gaining a foothold now, every step is full of challenges. Dabei City will be an important stage for us to realize our new dream."
Behind them, the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai stood quietly. They were tall and muscular, but their eyes revealed gentleness and wisdom. Since they met Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying, they have become each other's most steadfast allies.
"Brother Linzhi, Brother Zhang Ying, although we Zerg are powerful, we still need to learn from you humans in urban planning and management." Wang Jun's voice was low and powerful.
Zhang Ying patted Wang Jun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wang Jun, you are too modest. The wisdom and strength of the Zerg are also worthy of learning for us humans. The planning of Dabei City will be the result of our joint efforts."
At this time, the four Zerg brothers and sisters Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li also came over. Although the four of them had different personalities, they all had the same determination and perseverance.
"Brother Linzhi, we have conducted a detailed investigation and analysis of the current situation in Dabei City." Li Ming took out a thick report and handed it to Linzhi.
Lin Zhi took the report and read it carefully. He nodded as he read it and occasionally asked some questions. Li Ming patiently answered them. Lin Zhi was deeply impressed by his professionalism and understanding of the city.
"Very good, Li Ming. You have done a very detailed job." Lin Zhi put down the report and looked at everyone, "Then, let's discuss the planning plan for Dabei City."
Everyone sat together and started a heated discussion. They first determined the development goal of Dabei City: to become a modern city integrating science, technology, culture and economy. In order to achieve this goal, they developed a detailed planning plan.
In terms of transportation, they plan to build a highway that runs through the city, and improve the public transportation system to ensure convenient travel for citizens. In residential area planning, they focus on the protection of the ecological environment and plan to build a number of green ecological communities so that citizens can live in a comfortable environment.
In addition, they have planned multiple functional areas such as commercial areas, science and technology parks and cultural centers. Each functional area will have a clear positioning and unique design style to ensure the overall beauty and practicality of the city.
During the discussion, the Zerg brothers and sisters kept coming up with ideas and thoughts. They proposed many novel design plans, such as using the unique architectural techniques of the Zerg to build unique buildings and setting up a Zerg cultural display area in the park. These ideas opened the eyes of Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying and made them more determined to cooperate with the Zerg.
After several days of hard work, the planning scheme for Dabei City was finally completed. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying submitted the plan to the top leadership of the Zerg World and received their approval and support. Next, they will begin to implement this grand planning scheme.
During the implementation process, they encountered many difficulties and challenges. But whether it was funding issues, construction difficulties or cultural conflicts, they were able to find solutions through teamwork and wisdom. As time went on, Dabei City gradually regained new vitality and vigor.
High-rise buildings are rising from the ground, and wide roads are busy with cars and people. Parks are shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers. Citizens have happy smiles on their faces, and they have found a sense of belonging and pride in this city.
Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying stood on the streets of Dabei City, which had been completely renovated, and looked at the city they had planned and built with their own hands, their hearts filled with satisfaction and pride. They knew that this was just the starting point of their adventure, and there would be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them in the future.
