Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves

Chapter 105: Bloodbath (Part 2)


With scorching flames, they charge towards all the warships and military aircraft.

The commanders do not panic; when it comes to maneuverability, they are not at all inferior to these monsters.

The warriors do not panic either; they quickly arrive at their respective positions. The substantial number of short-range weapons are prepared precisely for this.

The task of the frontline is to weaken the enemy's numbers as much as possible.

Then comes the rear defensive line, established at sea, along with the firepower attack chain on the islands.

All the way to the final defensive line.

The number of monsters that truly appear on the coast for Xiao Qingshan and the other soldiers to see has long ceased to be as dense as initially.

The warriors, on the screen, witness firsthand how the number of monsters is gradually reduced, and there is no fear in their hearts.

"Our combat range is three kilometers along the coast, the shield is right behind us, do not be afraid, pay attention to movement," the commander's voice comes through the earpiece, "The most important thing is to pay attention to the overheating of gun barrels and the reserves of firepower; do not keep pressing the trigger. When ammunition is down to 30%, retreat to the supply point, coordinate with your squad, company, and the entire battlefield, do not let yourself be surrounded... In short, eliminate every enemy that enters the attack range!"

"Yes!" Xiao Qingshan and all the warriors respond in unison.

Although they have heard these words many times before, no one finds them redundant.

Especially the new recruits.

They greedily and diligently memorize every combat point.

Because these things are not for them to achieve fame but to increase their chances of survival on the battlefield.

However, what the young warriors do not know is that at this moment, the highest commander at the rear command center, who just reminded them, has a solemn expression.

"The enemy-killing efficiency is less than 30% of what was estimated." His gaze sweeps over all the commanders, "You should know what this means."

"The special energy on the enemy has a certain ability to enhance defense," said one commander, "Moreover, when they gather in large numbers, this defensive capability increases significantly, which is the primary reason for the estimation discrepancy."

"It's still a problem of insufficient firepower," another commander said in a deep voice, "Originally, for such a 'foolproof' battle, there was no need to send the warriors to the front lines. Automated weapons are enough to complete the combat task, yet still, there is insufficient firepower!"

Indeed, after obtaining technology and production lines from the Interstellar Civilization, the Human Civilization began a comprehensive transformation.

Among them, the most invested and produced are single-soldier combat weapons.

Firstly, with the warriors as the primary driver, the production cost is relatively low.

Secondly, it can be integrated with the warriors' growing martial arts power.

Secondly, arranging combat plans around the warriors offers higher adaptability.

For example, regarding the previous few types of monsters, monsters have a natural tendency to prioritize attacking humans. There is a significant possibility that automation weapons might be bypassed by the monsters. In fact, there have already been several easily bypassed enemy types.

This decision is not incorrect.

But no one expected such creatures capable of pushing human civilization's firepower to the limit to emerge so quickly.

Navy, army, air force, nuclear weapon depots, trade weapons...

Everything applicable is being deployed.

Even though the total nuclear weapons are said to be enough to destroy the entire planet, they cannot be infinitely deployed on the battlefield. Such weapons, when facing these formidable creatures, can only eliminate enemies near the center of explosions, and further deployments would bring greater harm to human civilization susceptible to nuclear radiation.

No matter how intense the front-line explosions are, each use is meticulously calculated to ensure maximum destructive effect.

"If it's really not feasible, we can only urgently trade a batch of firepower support from the interstellar civilization." Finally, a commander's suggestion gains a silent consensus from everyone.

The reason for consensus is because this indeed is the only viable and effective plan they can conceive.

The reason for the silence is that everyone knows, purchasing weapons with those precious foreign trade quotas is the most wasteful approach.

With limited quotas, it's crucial to buy technology, purchase production lines to maximize the enhancement of their own logistics replenishment capabilities!

Otherwise, after buying all kinds of consumable weapons and finishing a war, what do we do next?

"If we had just another month, no, even half a month, the situation would be different!" Someone clenches their fist, indeed feeling a bit unwilling.

Currently, the entire human civilization is striving for industrial production transformation.

All production lines from the interstellar civilization are working at full capacity.

Every day, a large number of weapons are being produced.

This allows the deployment of nearly two million exoskeleton drive armors for warriors in such a short time.

Although these exoskeleton drive armors seem very simplistic, the productivity they unleash is far beyond many people's expectations.

Some might even call it a "miracle."

Furthermore, human civilization's own fully automated combat units are also continuously being produced.

Interstellar civilization has provided technical support, with drones, turrets, unmanned aircraft, ground mobile combat robots, etc., all being produced.

Development is progressing very fast.

A half-month might be exaggerated, but if it were a month, this mode of warfare might not even require the warriors to go to the front lines.

Just as some commanders had said.

It's merely a foolproof war.

However, there are no ifs.

At this current stage, warriors must be dispatched to the front lines.

If it were just this, it would still be somewhat acceptable.

After all, only after experiencing war and fire can warriors grow into true elites and create great deeds of their own.

But, under no circumstances, can there be a defeat!

Once the defensive line is breached and the enemy breaks through the barrier and charges inward, that is an outcome no one can accept.

It means a major defeat in this defensive battle!

Everyone is fixated on various battlefields, ready to decisively make decisions if anything goes amiss.

And at this moment, these new recruits, including Xiao Qingshan, finally have their first formal engagement with the enemy.

No need for cover, the enemy lacks long-range attack capabilities, so they take turns firing as ten-member teams, continuously moving.

When he shot down the first monster himself, Xiao Qingshan felt exhilarated.

He could even clearly sense the surge of adrenaline, the acceleration of his heartbeat, and apart from the squad's voices, it felt as if he heard nothing else.

Firing, killing, moving, firing again, killing again, moving again.

When the team leader's command reached his ears, he could always react immediately, taking out the designated targets.

At first, he would count the number of kills, but later on, he didn't care at all.

In his mind, all that remained was the monsters being blown to pieces one by one.

Until the retreat order came through his earpiece.

"Retreat, why are we retreating?" Xiao Qingshan even yelled at his squad leader, "We're completely suppressing the enemy!"

"You've gone berserk; look at how many bullets you have left!" The leader shook him sharply a few times, "There aren't enough bullets in the warehouse; retreat back to the shield to wait for the next supply transport! That's a command from above!"

Only then did Xiao Qingshan suddenly realize that all surrounding combat squads were retreating.

You could even see some comrades being rushed back by medics.

In the distance, you could faintly see a few exoskeleton drive armors already submerged.

With sufficient firepower, human civilization did complete suppression.

But there were still sacrifices and losses.

And now, firepower was beginning to wane.

Even old antiques stocked in warehouses for god knows how long were brought out; all reserves and all production lines were operating at full capacity, not sparing even unmodified weapons.

Such a level, enough to fight a world war, but the number of enemies seemed endless.
