Chapter 022: Defensive Mission

Shen Ying's treatment was very successful.

In just half a month, the affected organs have returned to normal. Under the 24-hour non-stop operation of the all-round treatment device, the slime worm repair liquid contained in the device and the internal organs of the foundation-building worm are strengthened. With the constant infiltration and repair of Zerg elements and several other Zerg elements used to treat biological diseases, more than half of them have disappeared.

Looking at his younger sister who was sleeping in the therapeutic apparatus, and listening to the doctor's medical report beside him, Shen Zheng finally let out a sigh of relief.

"If this continues, Lingmei will recover in less than a month." The doctor said, "However, I suggest staying in the hospital for observation for about a month."

"Okay." Shen Zheng nodded.Anyway, this part of the money was taken by the legion, so he didn't have to bear any burdens, just let his sister live. [

As for academics, it's not a problem either, Shen Ying's academic performance has always been known for being good, even if she misses a semester's class, she can still catch up.Besides, his status is different now, even if Shen Ying doesn't look for a job in the future, he can raise her like a princess, and her studies are not a burden.

"Formation leader." Fang He knocked lightly on the door and walked in, whispering in Shen Zheng's ear. "A call came from the legion, asking you to return to the team. It seems that there is an emergency."

"You stay here." Shen Zheng nodded, "If Xiaoying doesn't have a reliable person to take care of her, I'm always worried."

"No problem." Fang He nodded and smiled, his face flushed slightly, it seemed because of the word "reliable person".

After leaving the hospital and returning to the headquarters of the army in a rogue jeep, Shen Zheng was immediately taken to the highest meeting room of the army headquarters by Lieutenant Liang Long who was waiting for him in front of the barracks.

"What happened?" Shen Zheng asked while walking.

"There is news from the Twelfth Military Region," the adjutant said. "A strange swarm of insects seems to be passing through our country. The route they measured is close to our defense area, so we are required to be fully prepared."

"Strange bug swarm?" Shen Zheng found this term incomprehensible.A bug swarm is a bug swarm, so what does it mean to be strange?

"Who knows." The adjutant shrugged, "That's what the above said, and I don't understand what a 'strange bug swarm' is."

Entering the conference room, Shen Zheng found that the other formation leaders had already taken their seats.He hastily sat down on a chair beside Fengyu.

"How is Shen Ying's situation?" Before the meeting, Liang Long, who was sitting at the conference table chief, asked Shen Zheng with concern.

"Very good." Shen Zheng nodded and smiled, "The invaded internal organs have recovered, and now the number of cancer cells has decreased by nearly two-thirds."

"That's good." Liang Long nodded, "Now we have an emergency meeting. I think you have heard my adjutant say the situation before, so I won't say more, just assign tasks directly. The military region asked us to We must be cautious, just defend, because there are signs that this strange swarm of insects may not be targeting us, but just passing through, so we must not take the initiative to provoke them."

Then, Liang Long assigned tasks to each formation, emphasizing again the importance and precautions of these operations.

"Don't we have a new formation leader?" Carters suddenly spoke up after Liang Long finished speaking, "This operation is an excellent opportunity to prove his strength and ability. Many soldiers have been paying attention to the formation leader Shen Zheng. There are objections to the rapid promotion, and if Captain Shen Zheng can perform well at this time, they can just seal their mouths. Commander, I suggest that you also assign tasks to Captain Shen Zheng."

"But he has no soldiers." Feng Yu immediately retorted. "Besides, our four formations have already guarded all the places to be defended, so there is no need to waste more manpower."

"How can it be a waste?" Carters shook his head, "And we didn't make 'perfect' preparations. The commander of the legion, the order given by the military region should be 'perfect' preparations."

"What do you mean?" Liang Long frowned at him.

"Isn't there a small garrison [-] kilometers northeast of our town?" Carters said, "We can't ignore it as usual because it's close to Rat Mountain and less attacked by Zerg. You know, Although the road there is tortuous, it can still lead to the town, and there are only two hundred soldiers guarding it, but there are no senior officers, so it is very dangerous.”[

"The stinky ratweed in the stinky mouse mountain can emit a special smell. Years of experience tell us that the Zerg hate this smell very much, so they seldom get close to it." Feng Yu said, "There are two hundred soldiers. Enough is enough, why should senior officers suffer there?"

"Suffering?" Carters snorted, "The bounden duty of a soldier is to protect his hometown and the people, so he has to suffer. Why can't the honorary captain Shen Zheng suffer?"

"I didn't mean that." Feng Yu asked displeased.

"Okay." Liang Long waved his hand, "Don't fight because of unnecessary things. Captain Carters said it well. Since the military region wants us to take a 'perfect' defense, we must also pay attention to this part of the city. Get up. How about this, Captain Shen Zheng, you will take your existing soldiers into the northeast defense city and lead the defenders inside to defend."

"Yes!" Shen Zheng stood up and gave a military salute.

"There is nothing else, everyone should act immediately." Liang Long announced the end of the meeting.

Carters looked at Shen Zheng and smiled slightly: "Formation Captain Shen Zheng, this is a good opportunity to prove yourself, don't miss it." Saying that, he got up and left with the other two formation leaders.

"What kind of medicine does this guy sell in the gourd?" Feng Yu frowned and looked at Carters' leaving back, muttering in a low voice.

"It's a bit strange." Liang Long watched the three leave before opening his mouth. "Maybe he suddenly realized that it is the right way to win over our genius."

"God knows." Feng Yu muttered.

"Anyway, he's right about one thing. This is an opportunity to prove himself." Liang Long said, "It's the safest place in the entire defense zone, basically there is no danger, and it's not where the bug swarm will pass. On the route. You have just been promoted to the honorary captain, and indeed some people will be dissatisfied, and if you can no longer participate in the operation and take charge of it alone, it will indeed attract criticism."

"Please rest assured." Shen Zheng smiled, "Thank you too."

"Be careful with everything." Liang Long nodded.

After leaving the meeting room, Shen Zheng immediately went to the camp where his subordinates were, gathered soldiers, received weapons, and headed to the northeast to defend the city.

He had heard of this northeastern city guard before, and he had even heard of the famous Smelly Rat Mountain.The mountain got its name from the stinky ratweed that gave off a stench like rat fart, so it was loved by the people of Langfang Town.Because several bug swarms in history have continuously proved that the Zerg hate the smell of squirrel very much.

Therefore, some people once suggested that the stinky ratweed should be planted in the valley of the worms and in front of the northwest guard city as a kind of protection.But the facts have proved that although the Zerg hate this smell, they are not afraid of it. They only avoid it when there is no need to pass through areas with stinky ratweed. Sage weed didn't help either.

On the contrary, the defenders stationed there, because of the insect power planted in their bodies, couldn't stand the smell, and were so frowned and uncomfortable that they lost their combat effectiveness.

Shen Zheng had been curious before - how smelly is the stinky sage?Is that unbearable?

When he arrived at the northeast guard city, he finally understood why there were no senior officers stationed here.

A mountain of stinky sageweed exudes a mixed smell. Although the smell is not pungent, it is like a mixture of stinky sewers, stinky farts, rotting corpses, and biogas pits. The smell makes people feel like vomiting at any time.

When the wind blows from southwest to northeast, it is the happiest moment for the soldiers defending the city; when the wind blows from northeast to southwest, the soldiers defending the city feel the pain of wanting to block their noses so as not to breathe.

The hundred soldiers who followed Shen Zheng were so smoked that they didn't want to breathe. [

What senior officer would want to suffer like this?

"Sir, the situation is like this." The two small captains in the city guarded reported the situation in the city to Shen Zheng with a smile, and from time to time stole glances at the aid soldiers who were holding their breath and blushing.

"Although we are not on the moving route of the swarm, we still have to be careful." Shen Zheng resisted the uncomfortable feeling and nodded.

"Sir, do you want to use a gas mask?" A small team leader asked half-jokingly.

"No need." Shen Zheng shook his head, "Aren't you all useless?"

"We have been stationed here for many years, and we are used to it." The other team leader shrugged and said so.

Obviously, the two team leaders lacked respect for the "senior officials" in front of them.After all, they have been stationed here for many years, suffering and suffering but have no chance to fight and make meritorious deeds. They can only fight a dozen bugs that come here and there, and they are destined to stay here for the rest of their lives.

They are not afraid of punishment - how?Demotion?Well, let's see who is willing to take over this stinky city guard and be the captain of this boring team.

Shen Zheng looked at them, quickly figured out their psychology, and didn't think it was strange.

"Take me to check the weapons and equipment." Shen Zheng said.

Under the leadership of the two small captains, Shen Zheng visited the entire guard city.The northeast defense city is not big, it is basically a small fortress, originally there were only two teams stationed there, plus the team brought by Shen Zheng, only 300 people, not considered a powerful force.But in a place like this where few bugs would visit, this power is enough.

Shen Zheng didn't dare to be careless, he told the two captains to be careful, first of all prepare all the weapons and place them properly.The two captains were very disapproving, they both thought that Shen Zheng, a new recruit, was too ignorant of the situation here, so they nodded on the surface to deal with it, but in fact they didn't move.

The next day, Shen Zheng inspected it himself again, seeing that the entire city guard was still in the same condition as when he inspected it yesterday, his face darkened, and he called two team leaders.

"Do you think that the lives of these three hundred soldiers are nothing?" Shen Zheng asked.
