171: Chapter 171 The War God's Decree Descends from the Sky

"Tie Zhu, Tie Zhu, this is Jiang Chen. Do you copy? Please respond."

"Over ten thousand students at Ocean University are trapped and about to be submerged by seawater. Requesting the deployment of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals for support."

"Transport them to Beiling City!"

"Repeat..."

In front of everyone, Jiang Chen sent the signal to Tie Zhu on the other side of the communicator.

At this moment, Tie Zhu was at the port, fully prepared and ready to sail the warship toward the crowds that had not yet evacuated.

Just then, he received the distress signal from Jiang Chen.

His intelligent computing system calculated rapidly.

Three seconds later, he had devised a complete rescue plan.

Based on this rescue plan, he began issuing orders to the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals on the deck via electronic signals.

As a modified aircraft carrier, the Tongtian Aircraft Carrier had a total capacity of only 5,000, and of those 5,000, 500 were mechs.

"All Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, listen up!"

"Proceed to Ocean University and rescue the students."

"Transport the students safely to the nearest city, Beiling City!"

"Codename: War God's Doghouse."

"Yes!"

The moment the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals on the deck and inside the cabins received the electronic message, they deployed rapidly.

As a fully equipped batch of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, they all possessed wingspans.

Spreading their wings, they swooshed out of the aircraft carrier fleet.

They flew toward Ocean University in an A-shaped formation.

Meanwhile, on the playground, more and more students had gathered.

There were seven or eight layers of people inside and out; even the branches of the trees outside were filled with students.

They craned their necks in anticipation, discussing the hovering, high-tech small fishing boat while waiting for official rescue.

In less than ten minutes, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals swarmed in like dark clouds, covering the sky.

However, since there was no room to land on the playground, they hovered at a height of over two meters, just like the small fishing boat, arranged in neat rows.

"It's the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!"

"They really are the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!"

"Wuu wuu wuu, we're saved, we're saved! Mom doesn't have to worry about me falling into the sea and getting eaten by big sharks anymore."

"I love this, I love this! It just saved me one hundred thousand yuan."

Watching these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals descending from the sky, a burst of enthusiastic cheers immediately erupted at the scene.

Jiang Chen stood in the crowd and spoke loudly through a megaphone.

"Everyone, line up in an orderly fashion. One mech will carry one person."

"Don't crowd!"

"We definitely won't leave anyone behind."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Heavenly Soldier descended vertically; all a person had to do was jump up slightly to wrap their arms around the Heavenly Soldier's neck.

The female students were still a bit hesitant when they saw this.

This thing flies, isn't that too scary?

If it flies to a height of several hundred meters, wouldn't they get dizzy?

"Everyone, rest assured, the mechs won't fly very high. They will try to fly at a low altitude, at most ten meters," Jiang Chen reassured everyone.

The mechs wouldn't fly too high.

Encouraged by Jiang Chen, a male student, eager to try, stepped forward to be the first to take the plunge.

"Bro, I've got a hold of you," the male student said to the Heavenly Soldier.

The Heavenly Soldier extended its wings and took off, reaching a height of about five meters, while simultaneously folding its arms back to hold the male student's back.

In the blink of an eye, they flew away.

The others were in an uproar when they saw this.

"Holy cow, that's so awesome!"

"I never thought that in my lifetime, I'd be able to ride a Heavenly Soldier and General!"

"Me, me, me! I'm next!"

Seeing this, everyone flocked forward, eager to give it a try.

Even! One muscular guy pulled another muscular guy over and asked Jiang Chen somewhat shyly, "Um, bro, can we go together? We... we can stack like an Arhat."

The other muscular guy helped explain, "Yeah... we mainly want to save some Heavenly Soldiers and Generals."

After all, they could only transport five hundred people per trip.

Even if the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were very fast, they could only transport less than two thousand people a day.

The remaining people would have to wait for the seawater to flood in before they could take the cargo ships.

"Sure, those willing to stack together can go together."

"However, at most three people. Any more than that, and the mech's arms won't be long enough; I'm worried you'll fall off," Jiang Chen thought for a moment and replied.

He wasn't worried about the mechs lacking power or being unable to fly; he was just worried about them stacking too many and falling.

Although the flight altitude was only over five meters, the speed was fast, so there was still a possibility of being injured or killed if they fell.

"That's great!"

As soon as he finished speaking, quickly, more and more students started stacking like Arhats.

There were groups of three men, groups of three women, and even groups of two men and one woman, or two women and one man...

Jiang Chen could understand the first two, but by the time he saw the later ones, the relationships left him dumbfounded.

"Junior students, you guys are really something," Jiang Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

"This senior is getting old."

However, at this time, everyone was anxious to leave and didn't want to wait for the cargo ships later.

After all, the cargo ships would need to wait for the seawater to backflow before they could sail in, which still carried certain risks.

As the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals flew away one after another, they took away about eight hundred teachers and students from the scene.

The rest had to wait for the next trip.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals flew fast enough, with each trip taking about three hours.

"Everyone, please be patient. There will be another trip in about three hours."

"I'm going to take a group of people with me now."

"I'll be back soon."

Jiang Chen arranged for about fifty people to board the deck of the small fishing boat, then started the fishing boat and flew away.

The students below, although they saw the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and the small fishing boat leave, were not panicked at all.

Because they believed in Jiang Chen's words and believed that the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals would return, and the small fishing boat would return as well.

Some students couldn't help but post some photos they had just taken of the mechs carrying people in flight onto the internet, along with a title: "Alma mater's students trapped, about to be submerged by seawater; the War God gives an order, five hundred Heavenly Soldiers and Generals descend from the sky..."

Once this post was published, it quickly sparked heated discussion among netizens.

"Holy crap, which city is this? Everyone in our city is evacuating by train."

"That must be a small city. Some large cities with tens of millions of people are not easy to evacuate, so they're using black technology?"

"Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, these belong to Longke Academy, and Longke Academy is in Zhujiang City... Obviously, this is Zhujiang City!"

"So envious. To be evacuated on the back of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals—that's something to brag about for a lifetime."

"Yeah, I just posted on my Moments about evacuating on a free national train, didn't expect there to be something even more awesome..."

"I understand the logic! But why is the third photo of two women and one man? In such a critical, special time, are you still making a sandwich?"

"Hahahaha, I just noticed, in several of the photos, people are actually stacked together."

"This is to maximize the utilization of the mechs, right... Hahaha, and there are three guys stacking like Arhats!"

"Those three girls... I'm willing to be at the bottom of the stack."
