Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Too Hard

With a wave of her hand, Luoxue gave the order.

"Rocket launchers, grenades!"

WHOOSH!

A volley of rockets soared through the air as grenades were hurled in unison.

BOOM!

The massive explosions sent the Blood Breath Beasts flying.

After the explosions died down, a few Blood Breath Dogs, their bodies completely mangled, staggered back to their feet.

BANG! BANG!

A dense rain of bullets swept over them.

The Blood Breath Dogs were riddled with holes and finally fell, unwilling to die.

"We finally cleared them out. The vitality of these monsters is insane!"

Zhihan let out a long sigh of relief.

Luoxue turned her head and gave an order to Zhihan.

"Tend to the wounded, quickly!"

"Yes!"

Zhihan immediately organized personnel to treat the injured.

Luoxue then said to Fu Fuqing and the others.

"You all take some people and search these ruins."

"Right!"

Fu Fuqing and his men fanned out to begin the search.

...

「Several hours later.」

Fu Fuqing and the others returned from searching the ruins, their faces as black as charcoal.

"What’s wrong? Did you run into any leftover monsters during the search?"

Zhihan asked, confused by the dark expressions on their faces.

"We searched the entire ruins and found absolutely nothing of value."

Fu Fuqing said, annoyed.

"Then what do we do? We suffered so many casualties, and all for nothing."

Zhihan didn’t know what to say.

Hearing this, Luoxue’s expression grew somber. After a moment of silence, she spoke.

"First, send a team to take the wounded back to Mountain City Mountain."

"No problem. What do we do next?"

Jing Chuan asked, looking at Luoxue.

Just as Luoxue was about to say something, Mira came running over and reported to her.

"Commander Luoxue, something’s happened!"

"What is it?"

"We just received a distress signal from Commander Qian Lan! They’re surrounded by monsters at Ruin No. 13 and need immediate support!"

"Understood," Luoxue replied in a low voice.

At this, Fu Fuqing, Jing Chuan, and the others all looked at Luoxue and asked hesitantly.

"Are we really going to help her?"

"Yeah! We just finished a huge battle. Can’t someone else go support them?"

"No. We’re the closest unit. Assemble everyone immediately. We’re moving out," Luoxue said with absolute resolve.

’Even though she and Qian Lan don’t get along, they’re allies in a time of war.’

"Yes, ma’am."

Seeing Luoxue’s determination, Jing Chuan and the others immediately sprang into action.

...

「Three hours later.」

Long Ming arrived at the ruins of Kashayin Town on his dirt bike.

The entire ruin was eerily quiet.

’Why is it so quiet?’

Long Ming rode his bike into the ruins, puzzled.

The path was littered with bullet holes, scorch marks from explosions, and the corpses of Blood Breath Dogs.

Long Ming sucked in a sharp breath. He hadn’t expected the fighting here to have been so fierce.

’Clearing out a large ruin like this really isn’t a one-man job,’ he thought. ’It takes a full-scale unit.’

「A moment later.」

Long Ming rode to the central area of the ruins but didn’t see a single soul.

’That’s strange. Where is everyone?’

Long Ming was completely baffled.

He remembered clearly that this was the location marked on the map—the place Luoxue and her team were supposed to be clearing.

---------------------------

「The Falake Ruins.」

A barren hill dominated the landscape. At its base were scattered houses built of stone. Atop the hill stood a square fortress made of reinforced concrete.

Soldiers defended the fortress, firing relentlessly at the Blood Breath Dogs and other monsters charging up the hill.

BANG! BANG!

Blood Breath Dogs fell one by one, but more and more monsters charged up behind them.

A breach was only a matter of time.

「Inside the Falake Fortress.」

Qian Lan, looking agitated, lit a thin cigarette. She took a deep drag and slowly exhaled.

Just then, a communications officer hurried forward to report.

"Commander Qian Lan, the distress signal has been sent. Reinforcements will arrive soon."

"I know."

Qian Lan breathed a small sigh of relief at the news.

Just then, Liu Hui ran in, flustered, and said to Qian Lan.

"Commander Qian Lan, there are too many monsters! We can’t hold them back!"

"We’re in deep trouble now! If they break through, we’re done for!"

...

The others present started to panic.

Seeing Liu Hui and the others in a panic, Qian Lan felt a sense of helplessness. She threw her cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it with her foot.

’Sigh... All I want is a reliable man to lean on. Why is that so damn hard?’

Then she shrugged off her military jacket, revealing a white tank top underneath. Her impressive figure was on full display.

Liu Hui and the others were stunned, their eyes involuntarily drawn to Qian Lan.

With a wave of Qian Lan’s hand, two of her subordinates brought over a heavy Gatling gun—a "Fire Serpent."

Qian Lan snatched up the Fire Serpent and strode to the top of the fortress!

She looked down from her high vantage point at the endless stream of Blood Breath Beasts surging upward and raised the Gatling gun.

A nearby soldier quickly linked the ammunition belt.

Then, with a loud roar, Qian Lan opened fire.

"All of you can go to hell!"

RAT-TAT-TAT!

The bullets, like a fiery serpent, swept madly toward the attacking Blood Breath Beasts.

The Blood Breath Beasts were torn to shreds, falling one after another.

Liu Hui and the others stared, wide-eyed at the scene, speechless for a long moment.

The soldiers on site shouted, their morale boosted.

"The Commander is awesome!"

"Kill them!"

...

「Dusk. The outskirts of the Falake Ruins.」

A convoy of armored personnel carriers ground to a halt. Luoxue and her team opened the doors and jumped out.

RUMBLE...

The sound of intense gunfire and explosions echoed from the distance.

Luoxue looked up toward the interior of the ruins. Hordes of Blood Breath Dogs were pouring in.

"The gunfire is coming from the fortress on the summit," Fu Fuqing said to Luoxue after a glance.

"Fuck, it’s all potholes and craters. The vehicles can’t drive up there," Jing Chuan said in frustration.

"We’re going in on foot! Everyone, with me! Move in to support!"

Without a moment’s hesitation, Luoxue led her people in on foot.

When they were halfway there, a Blood Corpse Beast—a ghoul-like creature covered in red pustules with sharp claws—appeared on the road ahead.

"Halt!"

Luoxue immediately raised her hand, signaling for everyone to stop.

Fu Fuqing and the others came to a stop.

"Luoxue, it’s just one Blood Corpse Beast. Let’s just take it out and be done with it," Jing Chuan asked, not understanding.

Just then, more Blood Breath Dogs and Blood Corpse Beasts began crawling out from the buildings behind the first monster.

"Fuck, why are there so many?"

Jiang Heng was stunned.

"Take them down!"

Luoxue gave the order with firm resolve, raising her weapon and firing fiercely.

BANG! BANG!

Jing Chuan and the others also opened fire.

A dense rain of bullets slammed into the bodies of the Blood Breath Dogs and Blood Corpse Beasts.

"ROAR!"

They let out furious howls of pain and charged forward through the onslaught.

However, most of the Blood Breath Dogs and Blood Corpse Beasts were riddled with bullets before they could even reach Luoxue’s team.

Luoxue led her team, continuously pushing forward.
