413: Chapter 413: The Most Fearful Prolonged

As Rong Po and the others boarded the plane and withdrew, a missile rapidly flew in from the east.

Yan Zhengping and the council members were all craning their necks in anticipation.

"Boom~"

The hydrogen bomb exploded.

An intense light emanated from mid-air.

This was followed by a powerful shockwave and a sky full of dust.

A colossal mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

The nearby Ger County town was leveled by this shockwave.

Many of the scorpions on the ground were directly vaporized, while those further away were directly blown away by the air blast.

Time passed by minute by minute.

A few hours later, the mushroom cloud completely dissipated.

"How... how could this be?" Everyone was stunned.

That building was actually completely unharmed!

The hydrogen bomb was the most destructive weapon humanity could produce, yet it had no effect whatsoever.

"Buzz~"

The building still emitted a rumbling sound intermittently.

Everyone in the council fell silent collectively, a sense of powerlessness spontaneously arising.

"Councilman Yan, immediately adjust the deployment. Deploy heavy troops at Naqu and Sunlight City, the two essential passage points, to ensure these scorpions are blocked in the Lasa region!" Baili Ji swiftly issued the order.

Since that behemoth could not be eliminated, these scorpions could not be completely wiped out. That meant this would be a protracted defensive battle.

This was the most critical point.

What is most feared in war? The most feared is protracted conflict.

But now there was no other way; if these scorpions attacked the Central Plains, it would be a major disaster.

"Liu Feiying, immediately draw personnel to form a research team. I want to know what that building is? Why can it remain unharmed under a hydrogen bomb attack?" Baili Ji then arranged.

"Yes!"

...

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the Lasa region, Putian Xiaoyezi resorted to his old trick, rapidly occupying the main cities of Jichun Province and Songjiang Province by supporting puppet Settlements.

He held a grudge in his heart, vowing to make that brat named Oriental Chen pay the price.

March 5, 2056 AD.

Putian Xiaoyezi ordered Lu Guyun, the mayor of Ice City in Songjiang Province, to gather 50,000 civilian armed forces and head west through Hecheng and Hulun City to enter the Ulan region.

In his opinion, there were only a few people in the entire Ulan region, and a force of 50,000 would definitely be able to advance unopposed and strike directly at the heart of the enemy.

On March 7th, the train entered Ulan Country.

Oriental Chen learned the news immediately.

Look, the kind-hearted Putian Xiaoyezi knew that the Ulan region was sparsely populated, so he specifically sent a big gift.

Since he was so kind, it would be rude not to accept.

He immediately opened the door of convenience for him, allowing a smooth and unimpeded journey.

Even the damaged railway lines, Oriental Chen repaired for him in advance, fearing that he would be delayed on the road for even a moment.

Also, it was currently winter, and the north had reached a low temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius. It was truly too arduous for so many people to travel in the icy and snowy conditions; what if they froze to death on the way?

No, they still had to be sent some supplies.

Thus, a dramatic scene unfolded.

Every time the train traveled a certain distance, a warehouse would appear.

The warehouses were full of goods.

There was food, drinks, cotton clothes, and cotton quilts.

Add some braised meat, liquor, and peanuts.

That should be enough.

Over 1500 kilometers, no matter how slow, it should arrive in three days.

Putian Xiaoyezi was puzzled when he saw this scene.

Was this the desolate Ulan Country? Along the way, it was icy and snowy, not a single person was in sight, yet there were warehouses full of living supplies everywhere. Was this a ghost?

He once suspected he had taken the wrong path, but looking at the map, it was correct!

Moreover, even if he took the wrong path, could he go to heaven? Now even his own country's Soldiers couldn't get this kind of food.

The people below didn't care about so much.

It had been over a year, who had eaten meat even once?

Let alone meat, they hadn't even eaten peanuts much.

So everyone sat in the train carriages, spread out their cotton quilts, put on their cotton clothes, and laid out their liquor and meat.

Let's get started!

After all, it wasn't a regular army, and Putian Xiaoyezi was too lazy to manage them.

They could eat and drink, just don't cause trouble.

These rough northeastern men, after two ounces of liquor, began to chat about everything under the sun.

For a time, every carriage was lively.

On the morning of March 10th, the train finally arrived in Batuo City.

Oriental Chen personally went to the train station to welcome them.

After Putian Xiaoyezi got off the train, seeing Oriental Chen smiling at him, he instantly felt a chill down his neck.

"Welcome, Mr. Putian! After our last farewell, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Oriental Chen smiled.

Putian Xiaoyezi was still in a daze, not knowing how he knew he would come.

Seeing his relaxed demeanor, had he already made preparations?

"Mr. Putian, last time my manners were lacking, and I didn't personally welcome you. Tell me, does this meeting conform to protocol?" Oriental Chen asked again when the other party didn't answer.

"Men, take him down!" Putian Xiaoyezi dared not waste words, worried about being tricked by him.

No one moved.

These civilian armed forces only obeyed Lu Guyun's orders.

They also had no liking for the Eastern Island devils.
