Chapter 86: Shipment Received!
Kelin and Kaxi were visibly startled when they heard Xindi say this.
"Xindi, don't worry, I will resolve the weapons and equipment issue as soon as possible. You should first think of a way to minimize the damage the Beast Race's offensive does to the city gates," Kelin said to Xindi with a grave expression.
"Heh, then you'd better hurry. I estimate the Orcs will attack the city within these few days. If you can't provide the soldiers with weapons and equipment, holding the Inner City will be a joke. The current weapons, ammunition, and equipment can only hold out for ten days at best," Xindi clearly hadn't heard this for the first time, and surprisingly, she said these words with a smile.
Kaxi's expression was also somewhat ugly, but he held it in and left Xindi's camp with Kelin.
"Hmph, relying on you to get some equipment from the mouths of those parasites? I suppose the Inner City would have been breached by then? Guard!" After the two had left for a moment, Xindi called her Guard in and spoke slowly.
"Go to the hostel and find Captain Yingzhou from the Ninth Defense Zone. Tell him Xindi wants to discuss some matters with him. Remember, wear plain clothes and keep it low-key."
The Guard nodded slightly upon hearing this and turned to leave.
Inside the Fourth Defense Zone hostel.
After leaving the so-called combat meeting, Yingzhou returned to the hostel and began Gathering Spiritual Power.
After finishing Gathering Spiritual Power, Yingzhou began staring blankly at the Random Draw option on the System Panel.
"I already used one to prime it last time, should I try again? No, no, it's safer to save up for a ten-pull."
Yingzhou sat cross-legged on the bed, muttering to himself in conflict for half an hour, which was enough to make even the System, which loved to lurk, unable to watch any longer.
"Host, given your current performance, my suggestion is to pull directly, so you can stop agonizing over it here."
"Go away, go away, do you understand the metaphysics of drawing?" Yingzhou retorted irritably.
"You've been muttering here for half an hour without making a decision, and I haven't seen you do any 'metaphysics of drawing' either."
Yingzhou: "......"
"Host, why aren't you speaking? Do you not like to talk?"
Yingzhou steeled his heart and said, "Draw... draw! Yeah! Draw!"
"Consuming 1 Random Draw, performing Random Draw now..."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 5 Medical Xiunu."
Yingzhou was already prepared to hear that demonic notification sound, but the System's voice seemed different from before.
Huh? Huh!
"I got a hit!" Yingzhou shouted in surprise. After seeing the 5 Medical Xiunu, he couldn't help but complain, "System, why isn't it 'Summon Medical Xiunu'? Does this mean I only have these 5?"
"Yes, it's a Random Draw, it's very random..."
"You... fine, you win." Yingzhou decided not to bicker with the System, considering he had actually gotten a hit.
Medical Xiunu—neither of his two Legions could use them. The Death Korps of Krieg had no use for them at all, and the Catachan tough guys didn't need them for now.
Just as Yingzhou was thinking, a knock on the door interrupted his train of thought.
Yingzhou got up, opened his door, and found Zhao Jian followed by a soldier in plain clothes. When that soldier saw Yingzhou, he said in a low voice.
"Captain Ying, I have some news to tell you. Is it convenient to speak alone?"
"Hm, sure, come in." Yingzhou invited the plain-clothed soldier into his room and told Zhao Jian to leave.
Seeing that the Captain had already let the plain-clothed soldier in, Zhao Jian turned and left, not worried about the Captain's safety.
Just kidding, with the Captain's strength, was there any need to worry about safety?
Inside the room, Yingzhou told the plain-clothed soldier to sit wherever he liked while he sat cross-legged on the bed. Seeing the soldier sit down, Yingzhou said, "Did Xindi send you to find me?"
The plain-clothed soldier was visibly stunned. He hadn't even said anything yet, so how did this burly man in front of him know his purpose?
Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Yingzhou said straightforwardly, "Speak, what is your purpose in finding me?"
"Captain Ying, you'll have to ask Commander Xindi for the specific situation, but the Orcs are already preparing to attack the Inner City. I hope you can come with me now to find Commander Xindi and understand the situation."
Yingzhou raised an eyebrow. The Orcs were starting to attack the Inner City so soon? Had he sent the Catachan tough guys out too late? Or maybe not—perhaps they had already caused some commotion last night.
"Alright, let me pack up, and we'll leave immediately."
Seeing Yingzhou walk into her camp, Xindi had her Guard stand watch at the entrance, not letting anyone in.
"Captain Ying, the Orcs are preparing to attack the Inner City. However, because the Orcs that infiltrated earlier rarely handed over the weapons and equipment they produced to the Military District, it is now very difficult for us to resist the Beast Race's offensive. Furthermore, most of those representatives from that day have also lined their own pockets; they have quite a lot of weapons and equipment hidden away." Xindi sat down with Yingzhou and began to tell him about the current defensive situation of the Fourth Defense Zone.
"Then what do you mean by telling me all this?" Yingzhou looked at Xindi with a puzzled expression.
Xindi looked at Yingzhou's expression and said, "Relying on verbal negotiations is useless. I want to take some special measures and need your help."
"Let's hear it." Yingzhou put on an interested look and watched Xindi.
Xindi took a piece of paper out of her military uniform with 3 names and some crimes written on it.
"These are a few people I know for a fact have weapons and equipment in their hands, and they have been very greedy. You just need to make them reveal where the weapons and equipment are hidden, and I will send people to retrieve them." Xindi handed the paper to Yingzhou and said.
Yingzhou didn't look at the paper Xindi handed over, but instead looked into Xindi's eyes and said slowly, "Are you willing to save the survivors in the Outer City?"
Xindi met Yingzhou's gaze and nodded solemnly, "I will do my best. As long as the Inner City is held, everything is possible. After all, I was once a resident of the Outer City myself."
Yingzhou took the paper Xindi handed him and said, "Rest assured, the Fourth Defense Zone will not be breached by the Beast Race. But, the Fourth Defense Zone needs to excise some tumors so that it won't be broken into by the Alien Race because of these messy affairs."
After finishing, Yingzhou left Xindi's camp. On the way back, Yingzhou thought about the names on the list.
Surprisingly, Kelin and Kaxi were not on it. He had originally thought these two must have taken the lion's share, but perhaps Xindi didn't have concrete evidence.
Right now, the Catachan tough guys were harassing the Beast Race in the Outer City and saving the survivors.
There were still many problems in the Inner City, but since the Orcs had already started attacking, he had to ensure the parasites in the Inner City were thrown into a panic. While exposing them, he had to try his best not to let the ordinary civilians in the Inner City get hurt.
On the streets at dusk, because of the news of the Orcs attacking the Inner City, there were not many pedestrians. Yingzhou's tall figure was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
"Hmm, which lucky person should I start questioning tonight? Or maybe I should just solve them all in one night."
