Chapter 46 Official Saint-Level Sequence! Leader-Level Floating Corpses Attack!
Squeak-!
As the alloy door opened, a middle-aged man dressed in a crisp, snow-white naval uniform, with a shining general's star on his shoulder and a dignified, imposing face stepped in.
Behind him followed two young officers, a man and a woman, both dressed in military uniforms. Their auras were deep and unfathomable, and their eyes were sharp as knives.
The moment they entered, a barely perceptible golden light flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.
"Dragon Eyes".
Three semi-transparent panels instantly unfolded in the field of vision.
Name: Chen Yan
[Level: 6 Spirit Source User]
[Saint-level Sequence: The Undying Body of the God of War]
【…】
Name: Lin Hu
[Level: 5 Spirit Source User]
[Heavenly Rank: Body of Thunder]
【…】
Name: Qin Yue
[Level: 5 Spirit Source User]
[Celestial Rank: Stormy Sky Soaring]
【…】
Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
One Level 6 Saint-level sequence! Two Level 5 Heaven-level sequences!
Is this the power of the authorities?
Indeed, one should never underestimate the profound heritage of a nation.
This force, let alone one Golden Triangle, could easily sweep through ten Golden Triangles as easily as crushing an ant!
Chen Yan walked to the head seat and sat down. His sharp, hawk-like gaze swept across the room, taking in the expressions of everyone present.
When his gaze fell on Lu Sheng, it lingered for a fleeting moment, a hint of approval flashing in his deep eyes, but he said nothing more.
He crossed his arms and placed them on the table, getting straight to the point.
"Welcome aboard the Zhenyuan, everyone."
"Time is of the essence, so let's get to the point."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a soldier's unique iron-blooded authority, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Nine hours later, according to the final data transmitted back from all monitoring stations in the eastern sea area, an unprecedented super-large floating corpse tide will be approaching Zijin Mountain."
These words instantly intensified the already tense atmosphere in the meeting room, making it even more oppressive.
"I know that everyone here is a strong person who has fought their way out of the apocalypse, and is the leader of a fleet." Chen Yan's gaze slowly swept over everyone present, "But this time, the number and strength of the enemies will far exceed your imagination."
"So, I don't care what grudges you have before, where you come from, or what your purposes are."
He abruptly changed the subject, his voice becoming cold and harsh.
"From this moment forward until the zombie horde ends, all forms of infighting are strictly prohibited within the Jinling defense line!"
"Those who violate this rule..." He paused for a moment, then uttered the four words slowly and deliberately.
"Court-martial!"
The chilling killing intent was so palpable that it made the temperature in the conference room drop several degrees.
Feng Kun, who had been so arrogant just moments before, now felt his scalp tingle and lowered his head even further.
Seeing that no one objected, Chen Yan's cold expression softened slightly, and he offered a sweet deal.
"Of course, the military will not let you shed blood and sacrifice your lives in vain."
"After the battle, the command will open the supply ships Yuanyang and Dingyuan. At that time, you can use your battle merits in your respective defense zones to exchange for everything you need."
"Food, fresh water, fuel, even weapons and ammunition, and..."
He paused again, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
"...Ship upgrade and modification services provided by the surviving engineers team from Jiangnan Shipyard!"
boom!
This statement was like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake!
The breathing of all the fleet leaders in the conference room instantly became rapid!
Their eyes blazed with undisguised greed and fanaticism!
Ship upgrade and modification!
In this world swallowed by the sea, a faster, stronger, and more powerful ship means a higher survival rate!
This drives them crazy more than any food or fuel!
Seeing that everyone's fighting spirit had been successfully aroused, Chen Yan nodded in satisfaction.
He made a gesture, and Qin Yue, the dashing female officer behind him, immediately stepped forward and activated the holographic projection equipment in the center of the conference room.
hum-
A flash of blue light appeared, and a huge, three-dimensional defense map, marked with the waters surrounding Zijin Mountain, instantly appeared in front of everyone and slowly rotated.
"This is our defensive deployment map."
Chen Yan stood up, walked to the map, and pointed to the dozen or so circular areas of varying shades radiating outwards from Zijin Mountain.
"Next, I will assign defensive positions to your fleet."
Chen Yan's fingers, like the most precise scalpel, began to move swiftly across the holographic map.
"The Tiger Fleet, with three Level 3 Spirit Source users, is responsible for Position 7. They are working with the military's 3rd Patrol Team to clear out the floating corpses that have infiltrated the flank."
"The Sea Wolf Fleet, with two Level 3 Spirit Source Users, is responsible for position number 9..."
One by one, the fleets were called out, and one by one, the defense zones were assigned.
The fleet leaders who were assigned to the lighter-colored auxiliary positions all wore complex expressions of relief mixed with some resentment.
Fortunately, they didn't have to face the most terrifying impact of the zombie horde.
Unfortunately, the combat achievements of the auxiliary positions were destined to be limited.
Soon, Chen Yan's gaze fell on Feng Kun and Lu Sheng's groups.
The atmosphere in the meeting room became subtle once again.
Everyone wanted to know how this iron-fisted commander would arrange things between these two top teams that had just been at loggerheads.
Chen Yan pondered for a moment, then gently tapped on two adjacent high-risk areas marked in dark red on the map.
"Feng Kun, your Black Sailboat team is quite strong, so they will be in charge of position number 2."
Upon hearing this, Feng Kun's expression changed slightly, but he still forced himself to stand up: "Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"
Position 2 is already one of the areas under the most pressure, besides the core frontal battlefield.
After assigning Feng Kun, Chen Yan's gaze finally settled on Lu Sheng's young yet excessively calm face.
Everyone in the audience held their breath unconsciously.
Only one position remains, which is also the most crucial and dangerous one.
That area marked on the map as a shocking dark black, the death zone facing the main force of the zombie horde!
"The Flame Fleet..."
Chen Yan's voice became more solemn than ever before.
Without any hesitation, his finger landed heavily on the dark No. 1 position!
"You are responsible for guarding position number one!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the entire room was stunned!
Even though Zhou Hai and Zhao Ze had long been prepared for a tough battle, their hearts sank at this moment.
Position 1 means they will have to withstand at least 30% of the impact of the entire zombie horde!
This isn't just a test, it's practically pushing them into a fire pit!
A hint of undisguised schadenfreude flashed in Feng Kun's eyes.
Let you be arrogant!
Now, die!
However, Lu Sheng's face remained unchanged in the face of this almost certain death mission.
This is a hot potato for others, but for someone with a system like myself, it's the perfect place to farm energy points!
He slowly stood up, calmly meeting Chen Yan's scrutinizing gaze, and uttered two words indifferently.
"Can."
There was no haggling, no hesitation whatsoever.
This composure and confidence deepened the admiration in Chen Yan's eyes and drew the attention of everyone present once again.
"Very good." Chen Yan nodded, seemingly very satisfied with Lu Sheng's reaction.
He surveyed the entire room, his voice suddenly lowering, carrying a heavy, impending storm.
"Giving you the most dangerous positions is not something I intentionally targeted."
"Instead, it's based on top-level intelligence..."
Chen Yan's gaze finally locked onto the dark area of Position 1 on the map.
He spoke in an unprecedentedly solemn tone, uttering a sentence that instantly plunged the entire conference room into deathly silence.
"This zombie horde is extraordinary."
"Based on cross-verification of intelligence from multiple sources, we are 90% certain that hidden within this zombie horde is a being that has developed advanced intelligence and understands command and tactics..."
"—A leader-level floating corpse!"
"And its most likely point of attack is right in your defensive zone!"
