Chapter 757: Chapter 729: We Cannot Retreat

"Attention, citizens of Linchuan City, attention, citizens of Linchuan City!"

"We are interrupting with an important news update!"

"On the outskirts of Linchuan City, an unidentified number of wild animals are approaching Linchuan. We urge citizens to minimize going out in the near future to prevent injuries from wildlife!"

"At present, the mayor of our city has contacted the military and mobilized a large police force to intercept. Please, citizens, do not panic. Next up, please listen to the mayor’s address..."

With the Beast Tide’s arrival, it was obvious that the authorities in Linchuan also realized something was wrong; when civilian satellites were widely used, many things were hardly secrets anymore.

At the moment the Beast Tide appeared, the officials of Linchuan City also reacted immediately.

At this time, the highways outside Linchuan City were already blocked by dense police and military forces.

If the Beast Tide wanted to enter Linchuan, they would have to break through the blockades these people had set up.

"What exactly are these things?" Yu Yueying also stood among the crowd, flipping through several photographs in her hands, but she eventually despaired at finding not a single creature she recognized in them.

"It seems all the years I spent watching ’Animal World’ were in vain," Yu Yueying said somewhat helplessly.

Standing next to Yu Yueying was a middle-aged soldier with a square face, exuding the iron-blooded aura of a military man.

In the vicinity of Linchuan, there were no large military districts; these people were just temporarily drafted in, and they didn’t have any heavy weapons in their hands.

"Officer Yu, not just you, after hearing the news, many experts analyzed it overnight and still couldn’t figure out what these things are. You might as well not worry about it," Xu Guodong said with a smile.

"That’s true, Major Xu has a point. We are here to serve the people; it’s enough to shed our earnest blood. Let those experts hiding in the back deal with the head-tossing," Yu Yueying said with a laugh as well.

Xu Guodong just smiled and shook his head without commenting on Yu Yueying’s words.

Naturally, he could hear the dissatisfaction in Yu Yueying’s words, but at his age, he had long since dispelled all sorts of messy ideas that the young people had.

"They’re coming!"

Suddenly, Xu Guodong’s face tensed and he became serious.

Upon hearing Xu Guodong’s words, Yu Yueying also put away the sarcasm on her face and turned to look at the distance.

The sun rose diagonally from The East, and ahead was a wide highway. But at a distant point of the road, a dark figure emerged.

A very tiny dark figure.

However, as this dark figure appeared, more and more figures began to slowly emerge around it.

The number kept increasing.

So much so, that in the end, these figures formed a vast, densely packed cloth of darkness.

"Major Xu, how many people do we have?" Yu Yueying asked, looking at this dark tide, her face showing some unease.

"Including your police force, there are probably more than five hundred people," Xu Guodong pondered for a moment before answering.

Yu Yueying nodded. She didn’t know how many of these monsters there were.

But even by estimation, the numbers of these monsters were probably way above theirs.

"Get ready!!"

As he watched the monsters swiftly approaching them, Xu Guodong raised his hand.

"Get ready!!"

Yu Yueying did the same.

All at once, the police and soldiers raised the guns in their hands.

Seeing the monsters drawing closer and closer, Yu Yueying and Xu Guodong both calculated the distance in their minds.

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters!

Two hundred meters!

One hundred meters!

"...Fire!!"

Following the command of the two, everyone simultaneously pulled the triggers in their hands, and in an instant, countless fire serpents erupted forth.

They didn’t know exactly what these monsters were, nor did they know where they came from. However, from the intelligence they had received, these creatures were extremely aggressive; there were eyewitness reports of the monsters effortlessly flipping over a truck passing on the highway and then tearing the truck driver into pieces.

Just this intelligence alone was enough to provoke a response from them.

No matter what they were, this threat had to be eliminated!

Xu Guodong and Yu Yueying knew very well in their hearts that if they allowed such a large number of wild beasts to enter the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thus, at all costs, they had to nip this threat in the bud.

As the fire serpents spat forth, gunfire thundered, and amongst the horde of monsters immediately came all manner of hissing and bizarre cries.

Although these monsters were formidable, they were still made of flesh and blood.

Flesh and blood, how could it possibly withstand the force of bullets?

Moreover, it wasn’t just one or two bullets, but countless bullets unleashed by hundreds of people shooting in unison.

Right away, the group of monsters at the very front screamed as they were riddled with holes, clearly beyond saving.

But the bloodshed didn’t stop these monsters; after losing hundreds of their kind, they became even more ferocious.

Their speed also suddenly increased significantly.

A hundred meters, not too far to some, yet not so close either.

Of course, that’s to humans.

For these monsters, one hundred meters? Just a matter of a few seconds!

"Sss!"

The battle instantly reversed as soon as the first monster broke through the bullet net and clawed into a police officer.

"Ah!!"

Screams intermittently arose from the crowd.

"Drop the guns! Take up melee weapons!" Xu Guodong shouted loudly, at the same time, he suddenly drew a sharp and pointed tri-edged bayonet from his waist.

Yu Yueying’s face looked terrible because these police officers simply weren’t prepared for such a fight; in their hands, besides the guns, were just some batons. Battling these monsters with batons?

"Retreat!" Yu Yueying issued the order helplessly.

By now, the soldiers had already engaged the monsters face-to-face.

Blood splattered, the whole scene was incredibly bloody.

This splattered blood belonged to both the monsters and, more so, to the soldiers.

Soon, the blood soaked the ground beneath their feet.

These monsters were just too strong!

In terms of both strength and speed, they simply couldn’t match up.

But, including Xu Guodong, not one person retreated or ran away.

All that was left for these police officers were rows of military green, steel-like silhouettes.

"Major Xu! We can’t hold on! Let’s retreat for now and think of another strategy?" Yu Yueying rushed to Xu Guodong’s side and said.

"We are soldiers, our families and our homeland lie behind us. So, we can’t retreat, nor do we dare to retreat. If we do, who else will protect them?"

Xu Guodong gave a slight smile, his voice resolute and powerful.
