Concentrate fire!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the captain’s roar, all firepower instantly shifted; bullets sparked against its fur, shells exploded against its chest in blinding flashes, yet the giant mutated ape merely staggered slightly before letting out a deafening roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its thick hind legs exploded with force, shattering the concrete bunker; one soldier was impaled clean through the chest by its claws, blood spraying across the ape’s grotesque face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another raised his weapon—only to be torn cleanly in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fall back!

What good is that number!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had underestimated this beast tide too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mingyuan’s gaze swept over the battlefield map; the markers for the second line were turning red one after another. He grabbed the communicator, his voice echoing through the entire branch:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All combat personnel, hold the beast tide at all costs on the second line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Repeat: Hold them at any cost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he set down the communicator, his knuckles turned white from clenching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour—could they hold for one hour?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they did, would three ability-user squads truly be a match for that third-rank mutated creature?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And was there truly only one third-rank mutated creature?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the window, distant explosions came from Qingfeng Mountain, the flames staining the night sky crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Chen Mingyuan clenched his teeth, as if resolving on some decision, and gave orders to all:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All non-combat personnel, proceed to the shelter immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Married personnel, those with children, evacuate immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those with living parents, evacuate immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those with fiancées, or plans to marry, evacuate immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I alone will bear all responsibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart pounded violently in his chest—not from fear, but from an intense, almost premonitory unease; the feeling was too strong, as if telling him: even if reinforcements arrived, they might still fail to stop this beast tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their deaths here could secure civilian safety, then this life of his, Chen Mingyuan, was willing to sacrifice; but if sacrifice would still not halt it, then better to let more live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the operations room stared at him in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the beast tide was still confined within Qingfeng Mountain, let alone if it had breached the line and entered the city, anyone who heard Chen Mingyuan say this and reported it would face severe punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the beast tide was quelled within Qingfeng Mountain, his punishment would be even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Execute the order.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will bear all responsibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mingyuan offered no explanation, only repeated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air froze for several seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, have you forgotten that the warriors fighting desperately on the second line are also someone’s son, husband, boyfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re still fighting—how can we possibly evacuate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young member, still bearing the youthfulness of someone newly entering society, spoke with solemn seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, Director, we didn’t join Tian Shu Bureau just for the benefits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If my parents knew I ran away at a time like this, they’d break my legs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy in charge of archives grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Tian Shu Bureau members, though silent, held the same stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors stationed on Qingfeng Mountain were still battling mutated creatures—how could they, here, possibly evacuate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their families were already in the shelter; they had no worries left. Even if they died, the state would care for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood Chen Mingyuan’s thought—he wanted more people to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Tian Shu Bureau members had the right to live, not to be forced to die in war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they simply could not do such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the first day they joined Tian Shu Bureau, they had accepted that death might come; perhaps it was coming sooner than expected, but they had long been prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously heavy atmosphere suddenly grew fiery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some quietly checked their sidearms; others pulled out a box of prized cigarettes and passed them around; some kissed the photo on their phone screen—of family—then locked it in a drawer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mingyuan’s eyes grew warm; he opened his mouth to say something, but said nothing at last, only cursed with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bunch of brats.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1181,"2026-06-20T13:10:12.391Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","33ad253a6f1ec8b41517d4a40ba2682961e76473d28462cfd5d2fd3bb03339b4","dimensional-invasion-i-can-fish-the-all-heavens-chapter-130","dimensional-invasion-i-can-fish-the-all-heavens-chapter-128",193,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimensional-invasion-i-can-fish-the-all-heavens-cover.jpg"]
