Chapter 55: Chapter 55: The Great Evacuation of Nanyuan Province
Translator: 549690339
Outside Nanyuan City, the previously desolate wilderness was now crowded with people waiting with their small and large bags. In addition to the camouflaged soldiers, there were numerous civilians.
“How long do we have to wait? It’s already noon, if we don’t leave soon, it will be dark!”
“Yes, the bugs come out when it gets dark!”
July’s weather was very hot, the crowd stood together, each person’s body drenched in sweat. But compared to this, people were more worried about the safety at night.
At this moment, a young officer heard the murmurs of the crowd and stepped forward to reassure them: “Ladies and Gentlemen, please don’t worry. We have already dispatched soldiers to various counties in the south early this morning…it should be about time for them to arrive.” f(r)eenovelkiss
Since receiving news of the Dawn Stone from the Arctic Circle, Wang Dezhen had reappraised the situation.
He led the residents of Nanyuan City to retreat to Shuchuan! There were seemingly endless bugs, and only by reaching there could humanity have a future!
Shuchuan was considerably far from Nanyuan, at a distance of over 3,000 kilometers. They would have to pass through two provinces and head north to reach there.
However far, they must reach it!
Wang Dezhen believed that other military district commanders would also issue similar orders!
After dawn, he divided the entire army into three parts. A portion of the weaker troops were stationed outside Nanyuan City, responsible for collecting food, oil and various living supplies.
A group of Superpowered Troopers, supported by the army, was responsible for extracting crystals from the bodies of the bugs. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
The last part drove many war machines southward to various counties of Nanyuan, leading local survivors back here en masse for the retreat.
Inside the command camp.
Wang Dezhen looked at his wristwatch, “At what time was their return scheduled?”
“Chief, it was at twelve!” “What’s the time now?”
“It’s twelve forty!” “How many teams have not returned yet?”
“Three teams…”
Wang Dezhen revealed an angry face, “Dammit, they were supposed to return at twelve, made me wait this long… Let’s stop waiting!”
He stood up suddenly, loudly ordering, “Issue my orders, the main force moves now. Leave some people to guide the lagging three teams…”
“Chief , what about the Superpowered Troopers collecting the crystals?”
“Let them continue to collect along the sides of the road and make sure they don’t fall behind!”
Wang Dezhen then remembered to ask, “By the way, how many superpowered soldiers do we have now?”
“Eleven Orange Level superpowered and over twelve hundred Red Level superpowered!”
Wang Dezhen frowned upon hearing this, ‘Why so few?”
“Chief, as per your instructions, most of the collected crystals were used to awaken new superpowered. Those with good talents have already awakened. Now, many remaining soldiers need to consume tens to hundreds of crystals to awaken, hence it’s a bit slow…”
“What a waste!”
After muttering a curse, Wang Dezhen reconsidered and opened up, “Let’s readjust the distribution principle. Half of the crystals should still be used to awaken new superpowered. The rest should be given to those with good talents, especially those who can evolve with just a thousand Red Crystals!”
Upon receiving the information about the levels of superpowers from the Arctic Circle, he understood the gap between the Orange Level and Red Level. He knew that a hundred Red Level superpowered were not as useful as one Orange Level, and promptly adjusted the distribution of the crystals.
“What about the Orange Crystals?”
“Currently, only the eleven Orange Level superpowered can efficiently extract Orange Crystals…”
“Understood, from now on, bring half of the harvested Orange Crystals to me. The rest should be distributed to the superpowered who have already reached the Orange Level!”
Wang Dezhen’s talents were not top-tier but not too bad either. His personal strength would determine whether he could continue commanding the army in the future!
Like the news from the Arctic Circle, the Orange Level superpowered carried an invisible charisma. They were no longer ordinary humans.
What would happen if they noticed their commander was afraid to face them one day?
So, as soon as he got this information, Wang Dezhen immediately ascended to the Orange Level. He then met the eleven Orange Level superpowered and formed them into a separate troop, answerable only to him.
Such superpowered, who far outstripped ordinary humans, must be isolated. If they realize their own power, the consequences are unthinkable!
The era had changed, the world had changed, the strong could no longer be driven by the weak. This was the future!
Wang Dezhen belonged to the type who saw things clearly.
“Have we checked the situation over a hundred kilometers to the north?”
Since last night when they detected what seemed like the fluctuation of a missile explosion over a hundred kilometers away, the disturbances had not stopped.
Throughout the night, they detected thousands of disturbances from the radar! It was like two nations were firing missiles non-stop on that battlefield!
“The think tank analyses that it might be the Egg-laying Mother Beetle mentioned by the Arctic. Only a creature of that level could produce such strong and frequent fluctuations…”
“I didn’t ask for your opinion!”
Wang Dezhen frowned, “I’m asking if the reconnaissance troops have returned!”
Seeing Wang Dezhen’s anger, the officers instantly revealed fearful expressions.
Wang Dezhen merely shook his head. Since upgrading to the Orange Level, his men had been involuntarily terrified whenever they saw him angry!
It seemed that he needed to control his temper better!
He sighed and calmly asked, “Have the troops going to Xingyuan County returned?”
Once he stopped getting angry, the scared officers gradually recovered, shaking their heads and said, “No, they left three hours ago. They should have arrived by now but there is still no news… ”
“Why are they so slow?”
Wang Dezhen regretted shouting as soon as he did, swiftly adjusted himself and asked calmly again.
“You instructed them to be careful and not to approach rashly. I guess they must be cautiously investigating the situation on the periphery…”
“Got it. Have the troops proceed as planned.. Whether it’s the Egg-laying
Mother Beetle or not, if it blocks our way, kill it!”
