Chapter 480 Arriving First
September 10th, 8:9 AM, Black Gold City. Shangguan Jingyun sat in her office, dealing with some unimportant documents left over from yesterday.
Among these documents, several stand out most prominently: they are all newly signed trade contracts with Dawn City. These contracts are actually already in effect; she sent a professional team to Dawn City to sign them, but now she still needs to sign them again.
Shangguan Jingyun picked up the documents and looked them over carefully. Among them were orders for the Type 27 super-powered rifle and the Type 27 super-powered machine gun, as well as orders for the Type 25 new combat uniform. There were also more than a dozen other orders, including ion battle knives, ordinary super-powered rifles, advanced Dawn Rice, second-generation crystal generators, storage capsules, super potions, S1 mechs, and S2 transformable mechs.
She carefully examined the unit prices of these products and found that they were all slightly lower than before, almost sold at cost price. Shangguan Jingyun was very grateful for this. Black Gold City was currently in dire straits, with shortages of many supplies. Without the strong support of Dawn City, they would probably have already run into trouble.
Shangguan Jingyun picked up the Crystal Phone, ready to call Li Chenglong to express her gratitude. The Crystal Phone has now reached its third generation, making it lighter, thinner, more energy-efficient, and more convenient, while its performance is 80% stronger than the second-generation Crystal Phone.
The third-generation Crystal mobile phone is named Dawn 3, and it comes in men's and women's versions. It has 64GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. It uses the SVX054 chip, and its operating system is the same as that of Crystal computers, namely the Crystal Network 2nd generation system.
The reason it has such a large amount of RAM is mainly because it is equipped with the super AI Xiaoguang. This crystal phone achieves complete voice control and can also be paired with a Bluetooth headset-like device. So, as long as you think of something, you don't need to speak it out, the Dawn 3 will sense your brainwaves and start operating automatically.
Currently, thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, various apps adapted to the system have been developed. Furthermore, the Crystal Networks 2nd generation system has the advantage of being very clean, without any ads. Li Chenglong had previously stated that mobile phone systems were absolutely not allowed to have built-in ads, and that bloated apps were also strictly prohibited.
Another unique feature of the Dawn 3 phone is that it doesn't require a SIM card. The SIM card-like function is integrated into the chip. When purchasing the phone, residents of Dawn City only need to present their ID card for activation. Non-residents of Dawn City need to submit proof of identity, and as long as they are within the coverage area of the Crystal Network, they can make real-time calls.
As for power, it uses a dedicated crystal battery. Once fully charged, it can last for at least 7 days even with 24-hour continuous use. Charging is extremely fast; a dedicated charger can fully charge it in just one hour. If the user is a person with special abilities or superpowers, then there's no need to charge it at all; the phone will automatically absorb their energy and recharge itself.
Shangguan Jingyun looked at the commemorative edition women's Dawn 3 phone in her hand, feeling quite fond of it. Just as she was about to make a call, she heard an explosion.
She suddenly stood up, carefully sensing the location of the explosion. At that moment, her secretary, Hu Wenwen, knocked on the door and quickly entered: "Lord, according to reports from the front lines, our eastern and southern positions in Black Gold City have been attacked by a large number of void creatures simultaneously, and void creatures have also begun to appear on our northern and western positions."
Shangguan Jingyun nodded and quickly walked out, making phone calls as she went, and began to make arrangements. Currently, Black Gold City's army has one fully-equipped corps, divided into four divisions, totaling over 40,000 men. Originally, at the beginning of the year, it had two corps with a total of seven divisions, but the losses after the void creature attack were too great. Besides these, there are other armies, such as artillery and air force units, but in terms of equipment and numbers, they are far inferior to those of Dawn City.
In addition, Shangguan Jingyun also had a directly subordinate special forces team of 100 people, both men and women, all of whom were at level 11. She called on her special forces team and headed towards the southern front, where the fighting was currently most fierce, at top speed.
Due to the constant harassment and attacks from the void creatures over the past six months, Black Gold City has repeatedly retreated its outermost defensive line inwards. Originally covering more than 400 square kilometers, Black Gold City now has less than 150 square kilometers.
In less than 10 minutes, Shangguan Jingyun arrived at the south position. As a level 13 S-class killer whale spirit awakener, she was quite fast, leaving the special forces soldiers far behind.
As soon as she arrived, Division Commander Zhao Liang, who was in charge of the southern defense line, came over, saluted, and said, "Commander, according to our reconnaissance, the void creatures that attacked this time are like a black sea, stretching as far as the eye can see, extending for at least twenty kilometers. However, the only good thing is that this time the void creatures are all land-based, and there are no enemies in the air."
Shangguan Jingyun took out her tactical binoculars and looked into the distance, discovering that the first defensive position had already begun fighting the void creatures. She immediately said, "We must seek support from other bases."
Commander Zhao Liang shook his head: "During the past seven months of the Void creatures' rampage, all the bases have suffered heavy losses, and many have been destroyed. Will any bases still come to help us now?"
Shangguan Jingyun nodded firmly: "Yes, immediately request assistance from Shuguang City and Commander Li Chenglong." Zhao Liang's eyes lit up: "That's right, I heard that after Lord Li returned, he not only introduced new weapons, but also carried out a military reorganization. Currently, among these bases, only they can send people."
Shangguan Jingyun immediately took out her crystal phone and started communicating. Meanwhile, Commander Zhao Liang led a dozen or so advanced ability users to the front lines.
The battle was extremely fierce. The void creatures mainly used two ranged attacks: one was to spew out highly corrosive acid, and the other was to fire beam cannons. However, neither of these ranged attacks had a very long range; the acid had an attack range of over 100 meters, while the beam cannons had an attack range of over 1000 meters.
At the forefront of a machine gun position, Yu Cheng, a level 10 superhuman, was continuously attacking with a Type 27 super-powered machine gun. Next to him, a soldier took out a tightly packaged metal box, which, when opened, was filled with energy magazines.
With each shot, Yu Cheng killed a low-level void creature. As he fired, he said to the warrior beside him, "Dawn City is really rich! If everyone in Black Gold City had one of these, we wouldn't be afraid of any void creatures coming at us. Hurry up and load them!"
However, their position quickly attracted the attention of the void creatures. Before long, hundreds of high-level void creatures simultaneously unleashed beam cannons at their position. With a deafening boom, the machine gun position where Yu Cheng was located was struck by several beam cannons and razed to the ground.
Similar scenes occurred in many places on the front lines of the battlefield. Despite the help of new weapons such as the Type 27 super-powered rifle, the number of void creatures was still too large. After killing one wave, another, even larger wave, would arrive.
With a fierce attack from the void creatures, a huge gap appeared in the first line of defense, and a large number of monsters immediately began to surge towards the gap.
"Raging Shark Wave Strike!" A massive, incredibly powerful azure energy wave shot directly from the gap towards the void creatures outside. Instantly, like a hot knife through butter, the void creatures were sliced in two and quickly turned into a pool of black liquid.
The only one capable of using such a powerful tactic in Black Gold City is naturally its city lord, Shangguan Jingyun. After unleashing her attack, she immediately said, "Quickly repair the defenses. If even one point of the position is breached, we're all doomed. Notify all the brothers to hold out for another 40 minutes, and reinforcements will arrive."
"I'm here!" As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a very familiar voice. Turning her head, she saw that it was Li Chenglong standing behind her.
