Chapter 1 China and the Jindalai Republic

China and the Jindalai Republic are neighbors, and a direct flight from the Imperial Capital to Jindalai takes only two or three hours.

On the transport plane, Jiang Xiao verified the time with the other team leaders, and then with the members of his own team. At the same time, he also confirmed the team's command structure.

Jiang Xiao was appointed as the captain by Qin Wangchuan himself, so Jiang Xiao was fully responsible for the team's affairs.

Han Jiangxue was once again pushed to the position of commander. Jiang Xiao's idea was simple: in the event of an accident, with Jiang Xiao's current strength and Star Technique combinations, it would be easy to rush to the front line of the team to provide assistance to Gu Shi'an or Xia Yan.

This is not a one-on-one match, but a war, or even a large-scale battle. Once Jiang Xiao is deeply involved in the battlefield, his perspective will inevitably be lacking. Han Jiangxue is intelligent and calm, and using her perspective to command the team's actions is the best choice.

The transport plane slowly landed in a military camp. It wasn't as chaotic as he had imagined. Looking into the distance, there was a continuous stretch of green mountains, which was beyond Jiang Xiao's expectations, because the scenery here was really good...

The eight teams waited in the camp. Gu Shi'an's nicotine addiction flared up again, but as a younger brother, he didn't dare to act rashly, until... until an older brother reported to his captain and then walked out of the camp. Gu Shi'an immediately turned his head and looked at Jiang Xiao pitifully.

When the 193cm tall, burly, and rascal-looking Gu Shi'an looked at Jiang Xiao with such eyes, Xia Yan felt that the whole world had become beautiful.

Xia Yan shook her head vigorously, wondering what kind of nonsense she was thinking about.

Jiang Xiao nodded slightly, casually picked up the giant blade leaning against the side, and gently wiped it.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shi'an came back at a trot after only half a minute of going out. When he walked into the camp, smoke was still coming out of his nostrils.

Afterward, Chief Chen Qidao walked into the camp. Beside him, a female soldier pushed over a huge tactical board with a detailed map hanging on it.

Chen Qidao took the long ruler and swiped it casually on the map, saying, "We don't need to consider the sea area. This line is about 241 kilometers long, and the width... originally there was a buffer zone, but now, due to the chaos of the battlefield, everything is uncertain.

When you go to the field, you will see walls, fences, and even isolation lines drawn with cloth strips. Remember this order I am about to give: absolutely no crossing the line!"

Chen Qidao's eyes swept across everyone. This group of soldiers were all elites among elites, each of them capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. Of course, they were full of ambition, and some uncontrollable things could happen on any battlefield.

Fortunately, they were all soldiers, and they would all obey orders.

Chen Qidao knocked on a western area on the dividing line: "This is a joint security area between the two countries. Are there any volunteers?"

For a moment, the eight teams were silent, and no one answered.

Chen Qidao was not serious and looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile, saying, "Panmunjom, a very good sightseeing area, this is a rare opportunity."

Jiang Xiao looked straight ahead, not saying a word, and did not have any eye contact with Chen Qidao.

Did I come all the way here for tourism?

Joint security area? Do you even need to think about it? Of course, it is a very safe place.

This area is remarkable. The two countries used to negotiate and sign agreements here. The five-centimeter cement line is a clear dividing line, which is very legendary.

Since no one volunteered, Chen Qidao dropped the matter and continued, "Our eight teams are responsible for the central-western dividing line. Team 3, Cai Ji, is close to the sea area!"

The captain named Cai Ji stood up and said, "Here!"

Chen Qidao waved his hand: "You go, except for your team, the other brothers are all landlubbers."

Cai Ji: "Yes!"

Chen Qidao: "Team 1, Zhou Cheng! Team 2, Qian Baiwan!"

Two bear-like strong men stood up and said, "Here!"

Chen Qidao drew two areas, and the female soldier next to him quickly put the small flags representing teams 1, 2, and 3 on the map, forming a triangle.

As he spoke, Chen Qidao's long ruler shifted slightly to the east: "Team 7, Jiang Xiaopi!"

Jiang Xiao quickly stood up. Chen Qidao pointed to a spot near the joint security area with a long ruler, saying, "You are the only team here. Do you have confidence?"

Jiang Xiao felt a little sad. He was still close to the 800-meter-diameter joint security area, but it was okay. He was just close, not in it: "No problem!"

Chen Qidao: "Team 4, Xia Qi!"

A female soldier with a ponytail stood up and watched as Chen Qidao's long ruler landed in the security area.

Chen Qidao's expression became serious and said: "I give you the most difficult task, we don't know when the task will end, maybe three days, maybe three months, maybe three years, during this period, I don't want to hear any criticism, not even a complaint!"

Xia Qi nodded slightly.

...

Twenty minutes later, Gu Shi'an sat in the driver's seat of an open-top military vehicle, watching Jiang Xiao communicating with Xia Qi at the entrance of the camp, and said: "He seems to be enjoying all this, especially when he heard the word 'three years'."

In the back, Xia Yan propped her elbow on the car door, her hand propping her chin, looking at Jiang Xiao in the distance who was constantly drawing on the map, and said: "Isn't it because the older sister looks pretty..."

Han Jiangxue also turned her head and looked over, watching Jiang Xiao walk towards them, and said: "Although it is said that we are a team, there are actually support teams. If something really happens, her team is the closest and the best object to ask for help. Jiang Xiao is establishing contact with other teams."

Xia Yan curled her lips, not knowing what she was thinking in her little head, and suddenly blurted out: "Hey, if Xiaopi marries this 27- or 8-year-old female soldier, she will call you elder sister-in-law, and you will call her sister? Each to their own?"

Han Jiangxue: ???

"Let's go!" Jiang Xiao supported the car door with one hand and jumped directly into the passenger seat.

The military vehicle was traveling in the mountains. In this kind of terrain, Gu Shi'an stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the military vehicle was like a shooting star. In less than half an hour, the vehicle had already reached the front line.

The camp where the Jindalai side was stationed had already come into view, and at this time, Jiang Xiao realized what real chaos was!

The four little guys in the car were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a spectacular scene!

The space doors in the sky were not densely packed, but they were layered on top of each other, and some space doors were even crisscrossed and pieced together. Jiang Xiao had never seen this kind of wonder before.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiao hadn't seen the shadow of the Sacred Ruins in the high sky and on the surface. It was estimated that the Sacred Ruins would be concentrated and destroyed by artillery fire as soon as they were opened.

All the space doors in the entire peninsula are concentrated on this dividing line? What a place to pick?

The figures falling from the space doors made people's scalps tingle. Their bodies seemed to be very light, and huge pink and purple flowers bloomed from their heads, like parachutes, floating to the ground.

Although they had no clothes on when they came out of the space doors, their bodies were flawless. Although they were human-shaped, they were not real people.

Their bodies, like their faceless skin, were clean, and certain organs did not exist.

And when they came to Earth, as the flowers contracted and their heads returned, that faceless face reappeared in front of people.

They have no eyes, and I don't know what they use to perceive humans, or even imitate human appearance.

"My God..." Xia Yan opened her small mouth, the military vehicle sped, and the gust of wind swept her chestnut-colored, slightly curly short hair. She widened her eyes and watched a Faceless One transform into a human face!

Lifelike, extremely realistic!

But because it was not wearing clothes, it could be seen at a glance that it was a fake.

Squeak...

The military vehicle braked suddenly and stopped in front of the military camp.

A Jindalai soldier of medium build stood in front of the military vehicle, with one hand stretched out and his fingers spread apart. Even though the military vehicle was parked one meter in front of him, he was not panicked at all. He looked like a real character.

And the Chinese of this Jindalai soldier was surprisingly good. Although he still had the accent of his country, the quartet could completely understand what he meant.

"China · Wasteland Force · 7th Squad." Jiang Xiao stood up from the passenger seat and directly handed a stack of documents to the soldier.

The soldier lowered his head and carefully flipped through the documents. Behind him, several kilometers outside the military camp, was the chaotic battlefield, with all kinds of huge flowers falling from the sky. However, the soldier was not panicked at all, and carefully looked at the documents one by one.

Under such a background picture, Jiang Xiao realized more deeply the horror of the Earth Rooter from the soldier's every move.

Jiang Xiao also followed the other party's rhythm, opened the car door and walked down.

"Thank you for your arrival!" The soldier put down the documents and turned to salute Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly returned the salute.

The soldier waved to the side, the railing was lifted, and the military vehicle slowly drove into the military camp.

The soldier extended his hand to Jiang Xiao: "My Chinese name is Chen Peng, I am in charge here."

Jiang Xiao shook the rough hand and said: "I want to go to the battlefield as soon as possible."

Chen Peng nodded: "Turn left at the third prefab in front, go straight, look to the left, it says 'Wasteland' in Chinese, that is your residence. You can go to the battlefield at any time, but please protect your military ID and armband."

Jiang Xiao nodded and quickly got into the military vehicle.

Following Chen Peng's guidance, everyone came to an independent prefab and stepped into it. Daily necessities, beds, tactical boards, etc. were all available.

Although there were only four beds, it was clear that this was not where a wasteland squad lived. It was estimated that another squad could move in.

Although the international friends made many requests when asking for help, judging from the logistics preparations, their attitude was at least very good.

Jiang Xiao looked at it and said, "Shi'an, you go and move the car closer to the left side of the prefab to make way for others. We will walk over in a while."

Gu Shi'an quickly walked out of the military-green prefab, and Han Jiangxue also activated Space Fragmentation and handed over a giant steel blade.

Ten minutes later, the several teams of soldiers guarding the gate of the camp watched the four desert-colored Wasteland Army soldiers walk out and rush to the battlefield.

The closer he got to the battlefield, the more Jiang Xiao felt that the situation was not right.

When Jiang Xiao and the others stood on a small hill, the situation became clear at a glance.

The so-called buffer zone still existed. Although its width had been infinitely compressed by the soldiers of the two countries, it still existed clearly.

And what replaced the "dividing line" became the other-dimensional spaces blooming in the sky and on the ground.

This "dividing line" composed of other-dimensional spaces was not destroyed by anyone, and it spread all the way to the east and west, with no end in sight.

And all kinds of flowers that came out of the space or fell down, whether they walked south or north, would be cleared by soldiers of both countries.

The soldiers of both countries were treating the symptoms, not the root cause!

Only the other-dimensional space doors that were definitely open in their own territory would they enter and destroy the Sacred Ruins.

Jiang Xiao's face was solemn. How long would this have to be fought?

Under this level of disaster, are various factors still needed to promote unity and cooperation?

The soldiers of the two countries were very easy to distinguish. One side wore military green combat uniforms, and the other side wore navy blue combat uniforms. Of course, the soldiers of the two countries had all kinds of combat uniforms, but wearing such brightly colored clothes was obviously intentional.

And judging from the number of soldiers and combat effectiveness, the navy blue side undoubtedly had the upper hand. They seemed to be watching a joke, while the military green side seemed to be struggling to hold on.

The appearance of four soldiers wearing desert-colored clothes attracted the attention of the soldiers on both sides of the dividing line.

Han Jiangxue knew Jiang Xiao too well. Looking at Jiang Xiao standing high up, she said, "You set the plan, I set the tactics."

Jiang Xiao raised his head, looked at the sky filled with human-shaped flowers, and looked at the crooked, special dividing line composed of dimensional space doors.

Jiang Xiao glanced at the soldiers of the two countries and snorted coldly: "They won't clear this line, we will!"

Han Jiangxue hesitated a little: "Are you sure?"

Jiang Xiao was quite firm: "We are here to guard a pure land, not to play house. I don't want to watch over it here for a lifetime. They don't dare to clear this line, we will!"

Han Jiangxue glanced at the battlefield under her feet and said, "At 12 o'clock, close to the Jindalai battle line, that space door is about five meters high."

Jiang Xiao picked up the giant blade: "Let's go!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

One heavy Ice Roar after another suddenly smashed into the dividing line, which was more than ten meters wide.

The bodies of flower creatures were already fragile. Under the bombardment of Platinum Ice Roar, their bodies were instantly frozen and then instantly stirred into crushed ice. The road to the space door was instantly cleared.

Gu Shi'an took the lead, Xia Yan drew out the long Desperate Giant Blade, slightly behind Gu Shi'an by half a body, standing on his right, Han Jiangxue was in the middle, and Jiang Xiao was at the end.

"Don't go there, you will be targeted."

"Don't move forward anymore!"

"Please wait a moment!"

From the Jindalai camp, voices in Chinese came over, some mixed with strange accents, and some were surprisingly fluent.

Jiang Xiao stepped into the buffer zone and walked towards the space door, his eyes scanning the soldiers on the opposite side.

The navy blue soldiers had solemn faces, were fully alert, and a faint murderous intent spread out, ready to fire, seemingly waiting for an order.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Xiao did not retreat but advanced! Whether it was his pace or his attitude.

Jiang Xiao walked forward step by step, lifted the giant blade in one hand, pointed it remotely at the navy blue, switched to English, and a muffled voice came out of the windproof mask: "If you want to do it, do it now! We all need a reason!"

For a moment, the battle lines on both sides fell into a strange silence. Only the sound of fighting remained on the battlefield, and there was no more shouting.

Xia Yan looked back at Jiang Xiao dumbfounded. Where did the good boy from the Wasteland Team go?

Gu Shi'an was even more dumbfounded. Are you telling me this is Jiang Xiaopi!?

This... is so tough!?
