Chapter 476 Greetings, Vice Commander Lin!
At the entrance to the abyss rift of the erudite villa.
This place has been temporarily converted into a huge military fortress.
A sense of unease and tension filled the air.
The long queue, like a winding steel dragon, stretched deep into the entrance of the crevice.
They were city guards dressed in combat uniforms and wielding psionic weapons, as well as court deacons.
The strange laws and dense black mist inside the abyss can cause even the most sophisticated electronic components to malfunction instantly.
Only cold weapons infused with spiritual energy, and the warriors' own flesh and blood, are the most reliable weapons there.
This is a primitive and brutal meat grinder-like war.
"Hurry! Keep up! Don't fall behind!"
"Check your psionic shield generators! They're your only lifeline in the black fog!"
The shouts of officers at all levels rose and fell.
Every warrior about to step into that darkness had a solemn expression on their face, even one of resolute determination to die for their cause.
Because everyone received intelligence information related to this demonic tide.
This demonic tide is quite different from previous demonic tides.
Behind it lies the shadow of an evil god.
Terra City's high-level combat forces have suffered heavy losses in the previous series of upheavals.
In order to defend this line of defense, not only the entire resources of Terra City were mobilized, but also high-level and extraordinary martial artists from several surrounding satellite cities were urgently conscripted.
On the other side of this line was a support team from Lanjiang University in the satellite city of Lanjiang.
Compared to the solemnity of the regular army, the atmosphere of this group of graduates led by their teachers was much more complex.
Some of them were fearful, and some were nervous.
But in the eyes of many others, a glint of ambition shines.
"Class, everyone, cheer up!"
"This support mission to Terra City is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Lanjiang Wuhan University!"
"If we can achieve merit in this battle, it will be recorded in great detail in your files!"
"At that time, whether you want to get into the Executive Yuan of Terra City, the city's garrison, or even teach at a university in Terra City, it will be the most valuable asset!"
The teachers leading the team were giving their final pre-battle pep talk.
Over the past year, various departments in Terra have suffered heavy casualties, resulting in numerous vacancies.
For graduates in these satellite cities, this is an opportunity for upward social mobility that they would seize even at the cost of their lives.
"For the Empire! For our future!"
The students growled in low voices to bolster their courage.
However, a minor disagreement broke out at the front of the line.
This is a small team led by a female teacher.
At this moment, the female teacher was pointing at the formation of the team and sternly giving instructions:
"Listen up! When we enter the abyss, all the boys, get to the front lines as the assault positions!"
"The girls are responsible for providing support and finishing off enemies from behind!"
"We must maintain this formation; no one is allowed to break it!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several boys in the group immediately changed.
"Teacher, isn't this unfair?"
One boy couldn't help but speak up in rebuttal:
"The abyss is shrouded in black mist, visibility is extremely poor, and assault positions are sitting ducks! The mortality rate is the highest!"
"We're all high-level martial artists, why should all the boys go and die while the girls just pick up the scraps?"
"That's right! This is unfair!" The other boys chimed in.
However, the female teacher's face darkened, and she pointed at the boy's nose and scolded him:
"Shut up! Putting you at the front is a favor!"
"As a man, shouldn't you be at the forefront protecting women when danger arises?"
"What kind of man is he if he has no sense of responsibility whatsoever?!"
At this moment, a girl standing nearby also curled her lip and said sarcastically:
"That's right, Cheung Tze-keung, I didn't expect you to be so petty."
"You brag about how great you are at school, but when it really comes down to it, you don't even have this much sense of responsibility?"
"If you don't want to go, just say so. Don't embarrass Lanjiang Martial Arts University here! You scoundrel!"
The female teacher frowned as she looked at the boy and said, "So you're not going now, are you?"
"you--!"
The boy named Zhang Ziqiang was so angry that his face turned red and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
This isn't a matter of responsibility at all; it's blatantly using them as cannon fodder!
However, the boys could ignore the teacher's stern gaze and the girls' disdainful looks.
However, the power to evaluate graduation still rests with the female teacher.
The abyss lies before us.
Even if he didn't go in, he could guess what his graduation evaluation would be.
At this moment, all the boys regretted it.
Why did this female teacher bring this up only when she was preparing to enter the abyss?
We're going to force those boys to comply!
The boys could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger, holding their weapons with resentment.
The city garrison, who were conducting the inspection, also noticed what was happening with this small team and frowned.
Although the female teacher and the girl's reaction made him frown and feel dissatisfied.
However, it was ultimately an internal matter for the squad, and he was only the city garrison commander in charge of inspections; he had no jurisdiction over the squad itself.
It's truly lamentable how things have turned out this way.
Just as the argument over here had subsided and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
"Whoosh—!!!"
A black afterimage suddenly swept past the side of the group, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom!
The speed was astonishing, and the strong wind it generated even instantly messed up the female teacher's carefully styled hair!
"what!"
The female teacher gasped and glared angrily at the dark figure.
"Who is it?! Don't you have eyes?!"
However, the dark figure showed no intention of stopping at all.
He was like a black arrow, ignoring all the rules of queuing.
It flew right past the long queue and headed straight for the entrance at the front!
This action immediately caused a stir among the crowd.
"Holy crap! Who is this guy?"
"So arrogant? Cutting in line like that?"
"Didn't you see how many people are queuing up ahead of you?"
The crowd, who had become anxious from waiting in line, were suddenly enraged.
Especially in the group of female teachers at the very front, they had just experienced an argument with the shrimp-headed man, and both the female teachers and the girls were still angry.
The girl who had just spoken frowned and said to the girl next to her:
"This is truly unbelievable!"
"This is a wartime passage! Someone's cutting in line here!"
"I'm speechless. Even if someone wants to go in and die, shouldn't there be a first-come, first-served order?"
She had barely finished speaking.
The dark figure had abruptly stopped in front of the checkpoint.
It was Lin Qiye's clone.
He remained indifferent, ignoring the commotion behind him, and simply raised his wrist to show the pass on his terminal.
"I am Lin Qiye."
"There's an emergency at the front; let me go."
Guarding the checkpoint were two high-ranking officers of the city's garrison, fully armed.
When they saw the words "Vice Commander of the Ten Schools Alliance" and "Chief Instructor of the City Garrison" displayed on the pass.
Their pupils suddenly contracted!
next second.
"Snapped!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the two officers instantly stood at attention, brought their legs together, and raised their right hands sharply to give the most standard military salute!
Their movements were perfectly synchronized and filled with heartfelt reverence!
"Vice Commander Lin! Hello!"
The loud greeting stood out clearly at the noisy entrance.
Immediately afterward, the other city guards around also stopped what they were doing and saluted in unison the moment they saw who it was!
"Greetings, Vice Commander Lin!"
"Hello, Deputy Commander Lin!"
For a moment, only the uniform greetings echoed throughout the entrance.
