Chapter 74: Arrival at the Fourth Defense Zone

There are probably over 100 people here, including the wounded and civilians; the only ones with real combat capability are the dozen or so soldiers including myself.

The movement of over 100 people will definitely be discovered by the Orcs, and at that point, it is highly likely that everyone will be wiped out.

But staying here is also a slow death; food, water, and medical supplies are all urgently needed right now.

Damn it, I am just a soldier myself, and only because my Back Spirit is relatively strong did I become the Captain of this Guerrilla, yet now I am thinking about these complex problems.

Finally, Han Li gritted his teeth and said, "There is no time to lose, we will prepare to set off tonight; everyone, pack up all useful items."

Upon hearing Han Li's words, the surrounding survivors began to pack their belongings, but the atmosphere was clearly not as oppressive as it had been just a moment ago.

Han Li's heart, however, did not relax in the slightest; he hoped there would be no accidents tonight and that these 100-plus people would safely reach the Giant Cedar District.

Fourth Defense Zone Inner City.

Kelin stood near the landing pad of the Inner City, waiting for reinforcements from the Ninth Defense Zone.

The Secretary beside him said in a low voice, "Councilor Kelin, the reinforcements from the Ninth Defense Zone departed two hours ago; if there are no accidents on the way, they should be arriving soon."

"Mm, I know," Kelin said with a serious expression.

As the two were talking, a gray mist appeared in the sky; the Gray Mist dissipated, and a streamlined Transport Aircraft appeared in mid-air.

Subsequently, the Transport Aircraft landed slowly, and the rear hatch opened; a young man about 2.6 meters tall with a burly build walked out from inside, followed by 5 soldiers.

In reality, the 5 people were not short either, but beside Yingzhou, they appeared very short.

Kelin stretched his body, which had become sore from standing, walked up to Yingzhou, and extended his right hand, "Welcome, I am the Councilor of the Fourth Defense Zone—Kelin. Are you the reinforcements from the Ninth Defense Zone?"

He also peered into the Transport Aircraft; there was no one left inside, only these 6 reinforcements.

Kelin's originally expectant mood turned heavy; this was clearly a combat squad that had just been formed, yet the Ninth Defense Zone actually claimed this combat squad were experts at striking the Beast Race?

Just with these 6 people?

Although Kelin felt somewhat displeased, his expression did not change in the slightest.

"Hello, I am the Captain of the 13th Army Corps combat squad from the Ninth Defense Zone—Yingzhou; these five are my team members."

Yingzhou also extended his broad right hand, wrapped it around Kelin's entire palm, and gave a simple handshake.

The other five team members saluted Kelin.

When Kelin saw Yingzhou from a distance, he felt Yingzhou was already very tall, but only upon reaching Yingzhou did he realize this guy was ridiculously tall!

"Shall we go and arrange your accommodation first then?" Kelin said after withdrawing his right hand.

"That is not a priority; let's talk about the situation in the Outer City instead," Yingzhou shook his head and said.

Kelin was clearly stunned, thinking: He doesn't actually want to help the Fourth Defense Zone attack the Beast Race, does he? Can these few people even do it?

"Alright then, let's go to the combat Meeting Room," Kelin left the landing pad with Yingzhou and his group.

Inside the combat Meeting Room.

4 officers were looking at a map, discussing the next defensive direction.

"The Outer City has been fallen for over 10 days now, and the Beast Race has already begun assembling troops to prepare for an attack on the Inner City; the soldiers in the Inner City are already prepared for battle, and relying on these tall walls, we can hold out for a period of time," one officer said.

"The problem is that our passive defense right now is not a solution; I suggest we contact the Guerrilla in the Outer City and let them cause destruction behind the Orcs," another officer said.

At this moment, the door to the Meeting Room opened, and Councilor Kelin walked in with a tall and strong young man; fortunately, the door to the Meeting Room was high enough, otherwise, Yingzhou's body probably wouldn't have been able to enter this Meeting Room.

"This is the combat squad Captain sent by the Ninth Defense Zone to support us—Yingzhou."

After Kelin introduced Yingzhou to everyone, he introduced to Yingzhou, "The four officers here are our..."

"Four officers? Isn't it three?" Yingzhou stared at one officer and said.

This remark from Yingzhou clearly offended all four officers, "Don't think that just because you are from the Ninth Defense Zone, I won't be polite to you; what do you mean by this? Are you saying someone among us is incompetent?"

A young officer with a crew cut stood up, not hiding his annoyance toward Yingzhou in the slightest.

"Exactly, we may not be able to say how much merit we have established for the Human Alliance, but you cannot say that one of us is incompetent! You yourself are only a combat squad Captain, not even higher in rank than us!"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood," Yingzhou walked up to one officer and reached out to grab the officer's face.

"You... what are you doing!" The officer said with slurred speech because his face was being pinched by Yingzhou.

"Captain Ying, what are you doing?" Kelin was also anxious now; he hadn't expected this Yingzhou to give these officers a show of force the moment he arrived.

"No wonder you lost so miserably; the enemy has already infiltrated the high-level ranks, and you can still calmly discuss a combat meeting?" As Yingzhou spoke, he tore off the face skin of the officer in front of him, but there was no expected gush of blood; inside this human skin was actually a Beast Race member that looked exactly like a Human.

Yingzhou looked at the Orc in front of him; it was somewhat like the group of Beast Race assassins he encountered for the first time. He remembered there was an Orc disemboweling a Human; could that have been the process of disguise? What method did they use to prevent Humans from noticing that the Human they were disguised as had been swapped?

Seeing that it had been exposed, the Beast Race member wanted to resist, but in the face of Yingzhou's absolute strength, its resistance was like a child throwing punches at an adult.

The three surrounding officers and Kelin were all stunned; they hadn't expected that Beast Race members had already infiltrated their side, and they hadn't even known!

Yingzhou's powerful arm exerted a slight force, crushing the Beast Race member's neck.

"The methods you just mentioned are merely giving those Alien Race outside more time to prepare for an attack; if the Outer City could be breached one day, then the Inner City will be the same, and besides, the Beast Race's infiltration is definitely not limited to this one," Yingzhou threw the Orc's corpse aside, and a bloody stench began to spread throughout the Meeting Room.

"Hoo... then tell us, what method do you have!" The crew-cut young officer exhaled, trying to stabilize his emotions.

Yingzhou scanned the few people and said, "First, clear out the Beast Race that have infiltrated key departments in the Inner City, and send a unit outside to find survivors and cause some small trouble for the Orcs."
