Chapter 347: Unorganized and Undisciplined

"What did you say just now? Say it again?"

Hou Changfeng's voice carried a hint of trembling that even he hadn't noticed.

His bloodshot eyes, tired from long-term lack of sleep, locked tightly onto Li Gang's face, as if trying to stare a flower out of it.

Seeing Hou Changfeng's doubtful expression, Li Gang repeated it patiently.

"Lord Governor, it is absolute truth! Donghai City really has been defended!"

Hou Changfeng wore an expression that said, "You've got to be fucking kidding me."

He violently tore open the buttons at his collar, revealing the sweat-soaked shirt underneath, and heavily gasped for breath.

Xining City was about to fall soon.

And now you're actually telling me that Donghai City held out?

Is that possible?

Is that reasonable?

What difference does this make from someone coming up to you and saying: "Hello, I am Qin Shi Huang"?

Hou Changfeng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He looked at Li Gang with a serious expression, seeing that the other party's demeanor didn't look like he was joking.

Only then did he continue speaking.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Things are like this…"

Li Gang was just about to narrate everything that happened in Donghai City.

But Hou Changfeng abruptly waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Wait a moment, let's go to the West City Gate first."

"You can report to me slowly on the way."

Knowing that the war situation was urgent right now, Li Gang nodded heavily and followed Hou Changfeng out of the command post together.

…

Meanwhile.

The teleporter plaza in the center of Xining City.

A dazzling flash of white light swept past.

The figures of Gandalf and Insect Emperor Caesar silently appeared above the teleportation array.

Above the plaza, it was sheer chaos.

Hurried military soldiers, medical personnel carrying stretchers, and Professionals teleported over from various fallen cities with panic and bewilderment written all over their faces.

The piercing alarm sounds intertwined with the roaring explosions coming from afar, making this normally prosperous city center look like a living hell at this moment.

Seeing someone teleport over, a female military team member responsible for receiving arrivals walked up quickly.

The crisp military uniform on her was stained with dirt, and her face carried unmasked fatigue, but her gaze remained sharp.

"You guys are refugees teleported over from other cities, right?"

Her voice was crisp and her speech was fast.

"Follow me, I'll take you to the temporary camp to register."

Zhou Huai's consciousness transferred onto Insect Emperor Caesar's body in the first instance.

He sized up the heroic female team member before him and spoke calmly.

"We are not refugees."

"We are here to provide reinforcements."

The female team member's movements paused slightly, and she raised her eyebrows somewhat unexpectedly.

She re-examined the two people in front of her.

One wore a star moon robe, possessed a mysterious aura, and his depth could not be seen through.

The other had platinum long hair and was so handsome that he didn't look like a Mortal, yet no energy fluctuations from any Professionals could be felt on his body, making him look like an ordinary person.

"Just the two of you?"

She asked, her tone carrying a trace of undisguised suspicion.

Insect Emperor Caesar calmly nodded.

"Which city are you from?"

"Donghai City."

As soon as these words came out, the female team member became even more dumbfounded.

Donghai City?

Of course she knew.

The outbreak center of this beast tide, a city that had long been tacitly abandoned by the military higher-ups.

It was said that the scale of the beast tide there was several times more terrifying than Xining City's.

Right now, Donghai City probably needed reinforcements even more than Xining City.

How could they still have spare strength to support Xining City?

She could almost be certain that the two people in front of her were Professionals who had escaped from Donghai City.

And for the sake of that pitiful self-esteem, they made up such a ridiculous lie.

The female team member sneered inwardly.

However, she did not expose it on the spot.

Right now, Xining City's battle situation was tight and manpower was lacking; one more person meant one more share of strength.

Even if they were two bragging fellows, it was still better than nothing.

Thinking of this, the expression on her face resumed a professional formula.

"Since you are here to reinforce, then following the procedure, state your names, classes, and Rank."

"I will assign you to the most suitable combat team according to your strength."

Zhou Huai couldn't be bothered to dawdle with her.

He had his own plans.

Gandalf, who had remained silent all along, suddenly spoke coldly.

"Foolish humans, do not waste my time."

His deep eyes didn't even glance at the female team member, as if he were talking to the air.

"I have my own arrangements."

The female team member's smile instantly froze on her face.

Having grown up so much, this was the first time she had been cursed to her face as "foolish humans".

A surge of anger abruptly shot up from the bottom of her heart.

"What do you mean?"

She glared at Gandalf, her voice involuntarily raising by a few fractions.

"This is a wartime state of emergency! All Professionals must obey the unified deployment of the military!"

"You…"

Before she finished her words.

A sudden change occurred!

"Puff——!"

At the edge of the plaza, a fire hydrant responsible for city greenery burst open without warning!

A powerful stream of water, as if endowed with life, transformed into a crystal-clear water Dragon, roaring and wrapping around Gandalf's waist!

The next second, the water Dragon exerted force abruptly!

Dragging Gandalf's body with incredible speed, it tore through the air toward the direction of the East City Gate!

That speed was to the absolute extreme, leaving only a faint watermark in the air.

"This… this…"

The female team member's mouth opened wide enough to stuff an egg in.

She stared blankly in the direction where Gandalf disappeared, her brain instantly going completely blank.

"Wait… wait a moment!"

"You are not allowed to act without authorization! You must obey orders!"

However, Gandalf's figure had long since disappeared into the horizon.

Where could he still hear her voice.

"I'm so pissed off! I'm so pissed off!"

She turned her head resentfully, preparing to vent her anger on the remaining platinum-long-haired youth.

However, she froze once again.

Before her eyes was completely empty.

That outrageously handsome platinum-long-haired youth had somehow disappeared without a trace.

The female team member was stunned at first.

Then she stomped her feet in anger, her full chest violently rising and falling.

"What kind of people are these!"

"Simply unorganized and undisciplined!"

…

At this moment, Zhou Huai was manipulating Insect Emperor Caesar, threading through the streets and alleys of Xining City.

As an SSS-Rank Insect Emperor.

His perception of the Zerg was sensitive to the extreme.

The very first moment he stepped into Xining City, he clearly captured that familiar aura.

That aura originated from the direction of the West City Gate.

The corners of Zhou Huai's mouth hooked into an arc.

Within his amethyst-like compound eyes, a bone-chilling cold light flashed.

"So that Zerg Hell-level BOSS that ran away that night actually ran to Xining City so quickly."

"What a coincidence."

"Right on time, saving me the trouble of spending effort to look for you again."

He didn't make such a huge commotion like Gandalf.

He merely took strides, seemingly unhurriedly walking towards the direction of the West City Gate.
