Chapter 176 Full Army Annihilated

On the battlefield, two Pterodactyls and the beast tide overwhelmed Lu Xiao and the others in the very center.

The monsters surged like a vast sea.

The sounds of fierce fighting reverberated across the land, with blood and minced meat flying through the air.

The Pioneers roared as they swung their steel blades!

The monsters snarled ferociously, their claws menacing!

The F country's Evolver troops hid behind the defenses, trembling...

...

"The Beitianmen (Northern Heavenly Gate) Project is currently at twenty-seven percent completion..."

Li Tianran stood in the research and development center. A representative from the research team was reporting the progress of the Beitianmen Project to him. With the support of all mankind and the Integral Mall as its foundation, the Beitianmen Project was progressing at an extremely fast pace.

Li Tianran calculated that, based on the current time and progress ratio, the Beitianmen Project would be completely finished the day before the counterattack plan began!

"Notify everyone that we will be providing extra meals for all staff tonight... use the highest quality meat, fruit, and drinking water. I may not have much else, but I have enough to eat!" Li Tianran said with a laugh, instructing the person standing next to him.

Just then, a notification sounded in Li Tianran's system.

A helicopter from the Alliance was requesting permission to land on Kuangxi Island to deliver a message. The system asked if it should be allowed to enter.

Recently, apart from within Kuangxi Island, other countries had been using this primitive method to transmit messages. Li Tianran did not take it to heart. He simply instructed someone to receive them, and then continued to stay there and discuss the difficulties of the Beitianmen Project with the researchers.

Li Tianran continued to communicate with the other party for more than ten minutes, finalizing some issues. As he was about to leave, he saw Lu Chi walk over.

With just one look, Li Tianran felt that something was wrong!

Because Lu Chi's expression was extremely gloomy at this time, looking as if he was about to kill someone.

Li Tianran had never seen him show this kind of expression before. Coupled with the Alliance's helicopter from just now, his heart slowly sank, as if he had guessed something.

"Boss, the Alliance's United Front Work Department sent a message that the Pioneer troops stationed in the North Asian Plains..." Lu Chi paused here, seemingly unable to utter those words. After a long time, he squeezed out from between his teeth: "Were completely wiped out!"

Although he was already mentally prepared, Li Tianran still felt his heart rate accelerate when he heard this news.

The Pioneer troops stationed in the North Asian Plains were a reinforced company-level unit, totaling three hundred and twenty people, and now, they had become three hundred and twenty dead souls!

"Three hours ago, the North Asian Plains were attacked by a large number of beast tides," Lu Chi said in a deep voice, speaking in a very calm tone: "They encountered a tragic death battle."

Although the three hundred and twenty Pioneers who died were all soldiers under Lu Chi's command, and Lu Xiao was Lu Chi's absolute confidant, even the number two figure in the Pioneer Legion, the loss was extremely heavy. However, under this circumstance, both Lu Chi and Li Tianran maintained their emotional stability.

Because they were now in positions of power, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them, they could not show any signs of collapse or anxiety.

Even if they felt uncomfortable, they would not reveal it in front of outsiders!

This was a necessary psychological quality for a qualified person in power!

Li Tianran took a deep breath.

He had previously dispatched many Pioneers, as well as some Mech Warriors, but the latter were not numerous, because their high price made it unaffordable for Li Tianran, who had purchased the Beitianmen design drawings. Kuangxi Island only had less than thirty Mech Warriors so far, and half of them remained stationed on Kuangxi Island. Only less than fifteen were scattered across the human defense lines around the world.

For the long human defense line, fifteen Mech Warriors could not possibly cover all areas, so they were mobile, changing their defense areas every twelve hours. When Lu Xiao and the Pioneers fought against the beast tide, Mech Warrior number 11 had just left the North Asian Plains front!

"How are the other areas?" Li Tianran took a deep breath and asked.

"They are safe," Lu Chi said.

Li Tianran looked up at the sky. This was the first time that the Pioneer Legion had suffered such a huge loss since its establishment. The bloody fact also told Li Tianran that the difference in the life levels between them and the ancient civilization creatures was too great. If this gap was not narrowed, the Pioneer Legion that he had painstakingly assembled would soon be defeated on the frontal battlefield.

But now the LV5 fruit had not yet matured, and there were no genes in the biological research institute that could be used as a research body...

How easy would it be to cross this life gap?

"You go... go and bring them back," Li Tianran closed his eyes and said, "They are warriors, and I want to bury them under the banner of Kuangxi Island with my own hands."

Lu Chi nodded and left silently.

...

A large airliner landed at the airport of the North Asian Plains garrison, and three hundred Pioneers, led by Lu Chi, walked off the plane with solemn and dignified expressions.

The highest commander of the F country's garrison regiment received Lu Chi and others at the airport.

"The Pioneers are all great warriors!" At the first moment of seeing Lu Chi, the commander gave a thumbs up, with flattering praise in his voice: "Facing the invasion of tens of thousands of monsters, the Pioneers did not retreat half a step until they died in battle!"

"We were able to defeat this terrifying beast tide, and the Pioneers deserve the greatest credit!"

Lu Chi walked through the F country garrison's military camp. He saw some F country Evolver soldiers with missing limbs and covered in blood, who were also in a very miserable state.

"We fought side by side with the Pioneers, and although we finally defeated this wave of beast tides, they didn't survive..." the commander sighed, his voice full of grief.

Lu Chi and the Pioneers were silent all the way. They passed through the defensive city walls and saw the tragic battlefield on the North Asian Plains.

At this time, the battlefield had returned to calm.

Only corpses were left all over the ground, and blood mixed and condensed together, staining this land scarlet red.

Some F country soldiers were walking through the corpses, cleaning up the battlefield. They carried out corpses, some of beast kings, some of Pioneers, but most were incomplete.

In the center of this tragic battlefield, the corpses of two monsters were the most well-preserved.

A cyan wolf, with a steel knife inserted into its head and its spine severed!

A Pterodactyl, with its wings severed, its chest cavity broken open, and its heart chopped into pieces!

"Those are two ancient creatures! There were originally three! But these monsters were too strong. We fought to the death with the Pioneers, and in the end, we only killed two of them. The remaining one was seriously injured and escaped... Only then did the beast tide completely collapse and retreat!" The commander pointed to the two corpses in the distance and said softly.
