Chapter 275 China's Battle Power Ranking
On the morning of December 11th, Yunlan first contacted Li Chenglong, and then video-called her father, Qi Guoan, via her crystal phone to check on her son. The 3rd Division of the Dawn Army was holding its winter skills competition that day, and Qi Guoan planned to take his grandson to watch the soldiers' impressive performance. Yunlan urged her father to take good care of the child, making sure he didn't catch a cold or get hurt. She also repeatedly emphasized that Song Yixin should be brought along so she could help look after her.
After finishing the call, Yunlan washed up, put her things into the storage area of her storage space, and then led the special forces soldiers out of the female soldiers' dormitory.
Half an hour later, all the Dawn Army troops had assembled. Thanks to Qin Fangyu's storage pendant and Yunlan's psionic space storage area, the Dawn Army didn't have many trucks carrying supplies, making their movement very convenient. A short while later, Zheng Aiguo, commander of the Dawn Army's 2nd Division, Zou Yang, political commissar of the Dawn City Air Force Regiment, and Lu Ming, chief of staff of the Dawn Army's Rocket Regiment, ran up to Yunlan and Zheng Yong, saluted, and said, "The Dawn Army's northward-bound troops have assembled. Please give instructions!"
Yunlan nodded and said seriously, "Let's go! Begin the operation according to the pre-determined battle plan." At the same time, half of the 18th and 21st Armies of the Qianyun Base had also assembled and began their march under the leadership of Major General Yang Yang and Major General Wu Feng.
According to the arrangements made at headquarters last night, the main objective of this operation is to completely eliminate the zombies and hordes of mutated beasts in Tianjin. The areas assigned to the Dawn Army are Jinghai District, Xiqing District, the six urban districts, Beichen District, Wuqing District, and the area of Beihe Province above Wuqing District. The remaining areas of Tianjin will be the responsibility of the troops from the Qianyun Base.
Yesterday, General Sun Tianlong also handed over some recently acquired data to Yunlan, mainly images taken by their reconnaissance troops and drones, as well as images taken by some remaining military satellites before they were destroyed. Based on this data, it can be determined that there are at least 300,000 zombies inside Tianjin, as well as various zombie beasts, zombie birds, and some strange beasts, which, when added together, are estimated to be no less than 400,000.
While the enemy numbers are large, the human forces on this side are also substantial. The Qianyun base alone has 5 troops, and the Dawn Army, with its various units, totals 1.7. Furthermore, no strongholds of the Zombie Empire's protectors have been discovered within Tianjin. This is a phenomenon that has only recently been observed.
Previously, Li Chenglong had the Dawn City Air Force's space fighters conduct reconnaissance missions in several areas without attracting enemy attention. Combining this with intelligence gathered from other bases, he discovered that the eight guardians of the zombies each possessed their own strongholds, each with small cities and fortresses. Furthermore, the zombies' activities had become more organized. Crucially, although only six guardians remained alive, there were approximately twenty strongholds scattered throughout the zombie-infested areas of China.
He uploaded this intelligence to the Eastern Theater Command and the China Doomsday Countermeasures Committee. They also felt that this was a relatively important message, so they issued a notice in their name, telling people to be extra careful if they found similar strongholds in future battles, since the zombie guardians were all level 11 powerhouses with extraordinary strength.
Yunlan sat in the SUV. Besides Yang Liu in the driver's seat, four other people were squeezed into the back: Li Xue, Han Xiaoling, Qin Fangyu, and Wu Ruilan. Han Xiaoling smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, isn't Big Brother's all-terrain crystal combat command vehicle amazing? It's 15 meters long, 3.5 meters wide, and nearly 4 meters high. The entire vehicle is covered in super alloy armor, and it's packed with high-tech features. I heard from Brother that it only costs 20 purple crystals to exchange for one, so it's not too expensive."
Yunlan said, "It's not that we don't want to exchange for another one. Li Chenglong originally wanted to equip each division-level combat unit with one, but later, because we needed to exchange for space fighters and crystal beam cannons, plus we needed to save crystals to make energy rifles and other weapons, and some crystals were allocated to some level 8 or level 7 ability users who needed to upgrade, after all this consumption, we were reluctant to spend 20 purple crystals to exchange for it."
Everyone nodded, finally understanding the cause and effect. Wu Ruilan then said, "Among the more than 6000 ability users and awakened individuals in our Dawn City and Dawn Army, there is currently one level 11, one level 10, 68 level 9, and 325 level 8. It can be said that our combat strength is already very strong. Moreover, Xue'er and Wu Gang seem to be close to level 10 as well. After this great battle, I wonder how many more high-level ability users our Dawn City will have."
Speaking of superhumans, Li Xue suddenly seemed to remember something: "By the way, did you know that a subordinate unit of the Chinese Military Commission has compiled a list of China's human combat power, which lists 100 superhumans and awakened individuals, including strong individuals from various war zones and bases?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became interested. Li Xue pulled out a notebook containing a combat strength ranking list printed out by the Information Support Department. Qin Fangyu, Han Xiaoling, and Wu Ruilan all leaned closer to look at it intently.
The list clearly shows the combat power ranking of the strongest humans in China: First place: Li Chenglong, Lord of Dawn City; Second place: Yun Lan, Deputy Lord of Dawn City; Third place: Shangguan Jingyun, Lord of Black Gold City; Fourth place: Zhou Yang, Deputy Commander of Daqing Base; Fifth place: Zhai Gang, Commander of Shenyang Base...
After careful examination, everyone discovered that the top 10 combatants were all Awakened, and their potential was all S-level or higher. Ding Hai from the Hohhot base, as a level 10, three-elemental ability user, was currently ranked only 14th in combat power. A total of 10 people from Dawn City made it into the top 100: besides Li Chenglong and Yun Lan, Li Xue, Wu Gang, Zheng Aiguo, Zhao Liying, Han Xiaoling, Wang Yousheng, Wang Shuang, and Wei Lanxin were all on the list.
Han Xiaoling said in surprise, "I didn't expect Sister Li Xue to be so amazing. She can only rank 37th now. Aunt Wei Lanxin only ranked 95th. I am currently a Level 9 B-level Wind Chaser Leopard Awakener, and I only ranked 74th."
Yunlan sighed, "There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. You must work even harder and not be arrogant. You must know that the zombie guardians are all level 11 experts. Even their subordinates are mostly level 10 zombies with special abilities. In addition to the eight guardians, there are also four marshals, two prime ministers, and a zombie emperor. The enemy is very strong, and we still need to work harder."
After hearing Yunlan's words, everyone was determined to work hard and strive to improve their strength.
