105: Chapter 105 The Big One is Coming!

That day, the news that the Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau organized troops and Adepts to retake lost ground had already spread throughout Dongcheng.

This was already the biggest news in Dongcheng City.

In the past, it was always Dongcheng City's territory being abandoned piece by piece.

Today, was it finally going to be taken back?

The live broadcast drone had already flown to the edge of the city slated for reclamation.

Under the drone's lens, a force composed of three thousand personnel was slowly displayed.

This was a Special Warfare Team composed of elites drawn from ordinary people.

Every single person carried a full load of ammunition on their backs.

Nearby, thousands of drones carried small ammunition depots, ready to supply ammunition at any moment—truly a mobile arsenal.

The current goal was to reclaim the area and immediately put the recovered residential district into use.

Otherwise, if they simply swept through with heavy firepower, the strength of the Disaster Beast and Remnant Beastss in the vicinity would be completely wiped out.

Unfortunately, heavy firepower could not be used.

Under the camera's view, Lu Li, leading those dozen or so people, slowly floated down in front of that force.

There, the Special Warfare Team Members of the Special Affairs Bureau and the dozen or so Psionic Armor Adepts were already waiting.

Besides these people, there were also more than ten Ability Users who did not belong to the Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau.

These people were all those who had remained in Dongcheng City and had not left.

Although they were still being observed, they had been pulled over to serve as conscripts.

For example, Uesugi Akemi.

"You're here?"

After landing, Lu Li first greeted Uesugi Akemi.

"Mm-hmm, I've already told the Master."

Uesugi Akemi nodded.

Hearing Uesugi Akemi speak, everyone turned their heads to look.

Uesugi Akemi had become the divine envoy of that Great Senior; this news was truly enviable.

"Not bad. Then he should be watching, right?"

As Lu Li spoke, she waved at the live broadcast drone, not caring whether Fang Xun could truly see it.

After waving, Lu Li cut the chatter.

"Everyone is almost here.

Be spirited, and remember: firepower priority first.

Be a bit more timid, all of you.

Times have changed.

Now, you are more valuable than gunpowder!"

"Yes!" * N

Under the command, there was an uproar.

They were probably the first group to enjoy the blessings of the Great Sage.

From the beginning, when firearms were useless and weapons made from Disaster Beast shells were extremely rare, they could only be issued a small knife for close combat.

Later, with limited ammunition allocation, they could finally cautiously fight Disaster Beast at a distance.

Until now.

Gunpowder supplied without limit.

How could they not feel ecstatic?

Under the camera, the Special Warfare Team slowly crept forward.

After leaving the line of defense that was layered with blockades, the Special Warfare Team immediately dispersed.

The target community had been locked on.

It was a community spanning about two to three kilometers in diameter.

It was also the closest and most complete community to the current core of Dongcheng City.

If this community could be taken down, they would gain over twenty thousand residential units, capable of housing sixty to eighty thousand people.

This could already solve the current urgent problem.

After leaving the defense line, they could already see Remnant Beastss wandering on the roads.

Unlike the barren areas north of the city, this area was closest to the core, and the scattered Disaster Beast were constantly eyeing the core area.

They were always attempting to attack.

It was just that the defense line had blocked them.

Now that the troops were outside the defense line, they immediately encountered these Remnant Beastss.

However, this was not the time to strike and alert the enemy.

Therefore, the Ability Users struck first.

Uesugi Akemi cast several Talismans, instantly turning those small Remnant Beastss into dust.

This swift and clean execution was worthy of the title of the number one Genius Onmyoji of Sakurajima.

"Don't waste time. Troops, spread out and surround this area, advancing slowly.

Once you reach the designated location, you may fire freely.

The drones will follow you, and ammunition will be replenished without limit.

Even if you fire blanks, I will treat it as you setting off fireworks for entertainment.

Disperse!"

Lu Li's voice was not loud, but it smoothly reached everyone's ears.

Following the plan and the target coordinates provided by their tactical watches, the Special Warfare Team quickly ran to their assigned positions.

Several students, namely Jiang Qin and the others, were also arranged by Lu Li to go into the community to 'play around' a bit.

In less than three minutes after the troops left, everyone had entered their designated areas, and then, the sound of gunfire erupted.

That was the first shot of Dongcheng City's counterattack.

But it would not be the last.

Immediately after, gunfire roared, dense as rain.

"Alright, it's our turn."

Lu Li soared into the air, looking at the remaining people:

"This community is full of Remnant Beastss; they can handle them. But outside this community, the Disaster Beast won't just stand by and watch us reclaim this place.

Let's go block them and kill them."

King against King, soldiers against soldiers.

Soon, the Ability Users arrived further ahead of the community.

Over there, they could indeed see Disaster Beast rushing over from other locations.

Beside Lu Li, one hundred and twenty-eight Alchemy Long Sabers were already in position. She waved her hand, and the silver bracelet on her wrist flowed like water, transforming into an Alchemy Long Saber in her hand.

"Kill!"

...

...

Far behind the battlefield, within Dongcheng City.

Fang Xun was indeed paying attention to the live broadcast drone footage.

Of course, he wasn't watching Lu Li, but rather Jiang Qin.

Operating under the principle of trying not to destroy the stairwells.

Jiang Qin and the others were actually fighting with their hands tied, far less relaxed than the Special Warfare Team Members.

After all, ordinary guns had difficulty damaging thick load-bearing walls.

But Jiang Qin could really punch through a load-bearing wall with one blow.

Tang Xiaotang and the others, after activating Psionic Power: Bloom, were more or less the same.

In short, fighting was incredibly frustrating.

Finally, they realized that their efficiency in fighting this way seemed lower than that of the ordinary Special Warfare Team Members.

Now they were all standing guard on the rooftop.

No, not all of them.

Those seniors from Dongcheng University were having a blast.

Wearing Spiritual Energy Armor, they fought with unrestrained vigor.

They didn't even notice that Jiang Qin, Pei Ruanruan, and the others had already left.

"This is the first time I've realized that being weak also has its own kind of joy,"

Pei Ruanruan said with a look of exasperation as she watched the light erupt downstairs.

"Perhaps the Captain wants us to learn to restrain our power, to control it more skillfully?"

Jiang Qin speculated.

In the past, when facing Disaster Beast, they always tried to cause maximum destruction; they had never considered holding back their power.

"I don't think the Captain even considered that,"

Tang Xiaotang pouted.

They should have been on the front lines fighting the Disaster Beast.

Being here was too stifling.

These buildings couldn't be damaged, and they were as fragile as 'tofu dregs'.

Fighting here was like they were being toyed with!

Just then, Zhang Tianci suddenly said:

"Wait, the big ones are coming."
