Chapter 65 Omens of the Great Battle
The next morning, Yun Lan finished washing up and left home. Li Chenglong, on the other hand, processed some documents in the city lord's office before heading to the computing computer, Alice. Currently, only Li Chenglong and Yun Lan were allowed free access to the computing computer room; others needed Li Chenglong's authorization, and each access was limited to three days. As soon as Li Chenglong entered, all the lights in the large room turned on, and Alice's virtual image appeared: "City Lord, what matters require your attention?" The central screen then displayed documents sent from various departments via the crystal computer. Li Chenglong nodded and then discussed processing the documents with Alice. An hour later, the documents were finally processed. Li Chenglong stretched, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and decided to go for a walk.
Li Chenglong looked at Alice: "Is your activity limited to this 100-square-meter room in the calculation room?" Alice replied, "For now, that's all. Once Dawn City's level increases, I'll be able to go outside." Li Chenglong stared outside: "Have you ever thought about going out and seeing the outside world?" Alice shook her head: "I can see the outside world through your various cameras, and all of Dawn City is under my observation." Li Chenglong didn't speak, then suddenly asked, "Do you understand yourself, understand us Awakened, understand the zombie virus?" Alice, in a human-like manner, paused slightly, then said, "My core does indeed contain a lot of data that hasn't been deciphered yet, but with my current level, I can't decipher it, so I can't answer these questions, nor can I answer them."
Li Chenglong already knew it was pointless to ask. In fact, he had asked Alice when Dawn City was first established, but Alice had always refused to answer. However, he vaguely knew that Alice knew something. Li Chenglong greeted Alice and left. As soon as he left, Alice immediately made the door close automatically, then said to a corner, "Miss, aren't you coming out?"
In a dimly lit corner, a crack appeared, and a person dressed in black with a black cloak emerged. This was none other than the mysterious figure who had repeatedly appeared and observed Li Chenglong and his companions. The mysterious person removed their hat and mask. Long, flowing, sky-blue hair cascaded down to their waist. The woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and extremely beautiful. Her skin was like jade, her lips were luscious, her nose was small and lovely, and her almond-shaped eyes, framed by long eyelashes, gave her a playful air. Her face was flawless, and between her slender, willow-leaf eyebrows was a small, erect, golden diamond pattern.
The girl found a sofa and sat down, looking around before smiling sweetly, "Not bad, they've done a pretty good job." Alice walked over and said, "Miss, where have you been lately?" The girl took out a small box and threw it on the table. The box then opened automatically, revealing it filled with green and blue crystals. "I've been hunting zombies lately. With my current strength, I can only kill some level seven zombies," the girl said casually, then stood by the window. "Sigh, if it weren't for my poor command, we wouldn't have had to rely on their strength. But after observing for so long, I've found this place to be quite nice, especially Li Chenglong; he's very interesting."
The calculation room window was a one-way window; one could only look out from the inside, but not in from the outside, and it couldn't be opened. Alice said, "It's not your fault, Miss. The fighting power of Kiel is too strong. Our Mera planet has always been peaceful and prosperous, so we haven't developed our military much, which led to their surprise attack. Even the king..." The girl interrupted Alice, "Alright, I don't want to talk about that anymore. My father's sacrifice will not be in vain. In two years at most, I will definitely fight my way back. You must help Li Chenglong and the others. I'm going to the Kiel alien base on the moon again soon." "Miss, please be careful." The girl nodded, then waved her right hand, and another rift appeared in space. She looked at a bracelet on her right hand and said calmly, "Are there forty more chances?" Then she turned into a stream of light and disappeared. The spatial rift gradually disappeared, and Alice stared at the spot where she disappeared for a while before also disappearing.
After leaving the computer lab, Li Chenglong went downstairs and arrived at the special forces' dormitory. The dormitory was now located in a former staff dormitory building, but it had been divided into two parts: one half for men and the other half for women. In addition to the special forces, many staff members from various departments also lived here. Each room was a standard staff dormitory, but only two or three people lived in each room. Each room had an indoor toilet and bathroom, and even a balcony.
Yesterday, the special forces team went on a mission, and Yang Liu led them back at 3 a.m. this morning. Li Chenglong checked his watch and found it was already 10 a.m. Li Chenglong went to the dormitory building, refused the guard's offer to go and notify them, and directly took out his whistle and blew the special forces team's unique emergency assembly whistle. This whistle differed from the military's emergency assembly whistle; it was a modified version for the special forces team to distinguish themselves.
A loud emergency assembly whistle rang out. Yang Liu was the first to react. Hearing the whistle, she immediately threw off the covers, slipped on her slippers, and went to Zhao Liying's bedside to wake her. The two of them quickly dressed and tidied themselves. Li Chenglong stood downstairs, glancing at his watch to see how long the assembly would take. Yang Liu was the first to rush out, followed by Zhao Liying, Wang Xiao, and Feng Fafa. Seven minutes later, Jiang Xiao, the last member of the special forces team, joined the group.
Li Chenglong was somewhat dissatisfied; seven minutes was indeed too long for the special forces team. Yang Liu noticed Li Chenglong's displeasure and, though she wanted to say something, didn't dare. Three minutes later, Li Chenglong let out a long sigh: "I'm personally not very satisfied with your assembly speed this time, but considering you only returned at 3 a.m., and after eating and resting, it must have been close to 4 a.m., which is understandable. So I won't say much this time, but time is the lifeblood of the army, and opportunities are fleeting; everyone must keep that in mind. Captain Yunlan went to fight in the east with the first and second battalions today; you might not know because you returned late. Now, many strange beasts from the sea have appeared in our east, and their combat strength is still unknown. I hope everyone will work harder recently and not relax too much."
Yang Liu stepped forward: "Reporting to Captain Li, everyone in our special forces team wants to fight a real battle. Yesterday's mission was just an escort, and we've only ever been spectators, rarely engaging in actual combat. So..." Li Chenglong nodded: "I've been thinking about this recently too. In the future, the special forces team will also join the zombie cleanup operation in Linhai City, but remember not to fight head-on, but to be flexible."
Just as Li Chenglong finished speaking, an alarm suddenly sounded from the Dawn Building. Li Chenglong knew that unless a major incident occurred, it was unlikely that an alarm would be sounded directly from the Dawn Building. Li Chenglong told Yang Liu to lead the team first, and he immediately rushed towards the Dawn Building. Yang Liu and several squad leaders exchanged glances and also formed a line and ran towards the Dawn Building.
