Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Breakout

"We have no supplies. If we hide here, we’ll just starve to death. We can’t just sit here and wait to die."

Jing Chuan said, his face dark.

"What do you suggest we do instead of waiting to die? There are Blood Breath Beasts everywhere outside."

Jiang Heng replied, exasperated.

"We fight our way out and rendezvous with the main force!"

Jing Chuan said, ready to risk it all.

"I just got news from the Civilization Forum. Qian Luobing and her group have met up with Qiansha’s group in Kargil City. But Mandy City has fallen, which means the main force is also surrounded! Forget about whether we can break through to Kargil City to join them—even if we did, it would be pointless."

Long Ming’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone’s heads.

"Then are we really hopeless?"

Zhihan replied, her eyes red and her spirits low.

Luoxue took a deep breath and looked at Long Ming, asking.

"Long Ming, do you have any good ideas?"

"To be honest, I don’t have any good ideas either. All paths left to us lead to death. But rather than die a miserable death waiting here, I say we risk it all and try to break out toward the Bukeao Mountain Range."

Long Ming said, his eyes filled with determination.

"I agree. What about the rest of you?"

Luoxue asked, looking at everyone present.

"Agreed! Let’s fight them!"

Jing Chuan and the others were also ready to risk everything.

"Good. Assemble everyone!"

Luoxue gave the order decisively.

"Yes!"

Jing Chuan and the others immediately gathered all five thousand of their remaining people.

Luoxue walked before the crowd, her gaze sweeping over everyone. She spoke to them all with a grim and solemn tone.

"Everyone, we have been separated from the main force. Outside, there are Blood Breath Beasts everywhere. We’re low on ammunition and we didn’t bring many supplies. At this moment, we’ve been forced into a desperate situation."

Hearing Luoxue’s words, many of the soldiers hung their heads in despair.

"I know you’re desperate, but are you really content to just wait here to die?"

Luoxue asked, looking at the crowd.

"We are not!"

The crowd replied in unison.

"Good. You are worthy of being soldiers of Mountain City Mountain! In that case, do you dare to risk it all with me and break out, no matter the cost?"

"We dare!"

The crowd replied in unison.

"Very good. Everyone, move out with me."

Luoxue shouted to the crowd.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded.

Seeing this, Long Ming raised his wristband and tapped it a few times.

Luoxue then led the group down the mountain via a path on the other side, heading toward the Bukeao Mountain Range.

「...」

「Kargil City.」

Inside a command vehicle.

Qiansha, Qian Luobing, Qian Hai, Farina, Gefens, and Modick were gathered together.

"Hmph, you two still have the nerve to show up? Weren’t you running faster than anyone? Why’d you stop?"

Qiansha sneered coldly.

"Qiansha, don’t go too far. You think we wanted to run? We had no choice."

Modick cursed, grinding his teeth in anger.

If they hadn’t been surrounded by monsters, he would never be in a meeting with this guy.

"Alright, that’s enough from both of you. No matter what conflicts we had before, we’re all in the same boat now."

Qian Hai spoke up, stopping Qiansha from arguing with them further.

"Mr. Qian Hai is right. We should indeed be united now."

Farina softly agreed.

"Hmph."

Qiansha snorted coldly and said nothing more.

At this point, Qian Hai said to everyone,

"Our current situation is very bad. Our retreat path has been cut off by the Blood Breath Beasts. Although these beasts have no intelligence, they move as if someone is commanding them. Therefore, the longer we stay within this encirclement, the more dangerous our situation becomes."

"Then what do you propose we do?"

Modick and the others all looked toward Qian Hai.

"I don’t have a great idea for that either."

Qian Hai was also at a loss.

"All that talk and not a single useful point."

Qiansha mocked Qian Hai directly.

"Then what’s your brilliant idea?"

Qian Hai didn’t get angry and simply threw the question back at Qiansha.

"If you ask me, we should join forces and just fight our way out!"

Qiansha said domineeringly, pointing at the map.

Hearing Qiansha’s words, Qian Luobing and the others exchanged glances.

To be honest, this plan had zero strategic depth. The problem was, their opponents, the Blood Breath Beasts, didn’t use any strategy either.

So aside from a forced breakout, there really wasn’t any other good option.

However, they still said to Qiansha,

"A forced breakout is fine, but we’re almost out of ammunition."

"So what if we’re out of ammo? It’s better to die fighting hand-to-hand than to be trapped here until we die!"

Qiansha said, his attitude extremely firm.

"I think it’s feasible!"

Qian Luobing stated her position directly.

"Let’s do it then!"

Modick also reluctantly agreed.

"We have no objections."

Farina also nodded in agreement.

"Good, so we all agree, right? Then let me be blunt. Before this, we weren’t partners, so I didn’t give a damn how you two ran away! But during this breakout, if either of you chickens out and drops the ball at a critical moment, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Qiansha warned Modick and Farina directly.

"No problem. When do we break out?"

Modick and Farina exchanged a look, then agreed.

"Now! After this meeting, assemble the troops. Group all the heavy tanks together to clear a path. We’ll crush anything that gets in our way!"

Qiansha said with extreme arrogance.

"Alright!"

Qian Luobing and the others all rose and left.

Soon, all the forces had gathered. They left Kargil City and began the breakout in a massive, imposing formation.

「...」

「Meanwhile.」

Long Ming and his group advanced over mountains and ridges. They didn’t take the easy, winding mountain road, because they would have easily run into large groups of Blood Breath Beasts.

But even so, they still encountered scattered Blood Breath Dogs blocking their path.

"Kill!"

Luoxue led the charge, swinging the sharp blade in her hand and slicing an oncoming Blood Breath Dog in half.

Jing Chuan, Long Ming, and the others also charged forward with their blades, working together to surround and attack the other Blood Breath Dogs.

Soon, all the Blood Breath Dogs blocking their way were dealt with.

"Let’s go, quickly!"

Luoxue led the group, picking up the pace.

"AWOO~"

At that moment, the cries of Blood Breath Beasts echoed constantly from all around them.

"Dammit, these bastards are like flies! You just can’t shake them!"

Jing Chuan said to Long Ming as they walked.

Hearing this, a slightly winded Long Ming said to Jing Chuan,

"You still have the energy to talk?"

Jing Chuan then noticed that Long Ming’s face was a little pale, so he asked with concern,

"You don’t look well. You’re not sick, are you?"

"I’m not!"

Long Ming shook his head.

But then again, Jing Chuan wasn’t wrong.

’My body really does feel a bit off now. It’s probably because I used that suit of mecha armor. That, combined with my genetic defects, has made my Physical Strength drop by a huge margin compared to before.’

Just then, Luoxue, who was walking at the very front, suddenly stopped. Her expression changed slightly as she said,

"Stop! Everyone, take cover!"

Hearing this, Long Ming quickly ducked behind a nearby tree.
