"...Yesterday at five p.m... static... the southeastern front suffered heavy casualties. The... static... static... eighty-ninth defense line has fallen... static..."
"Static... static... static... the Donghuang Clan... static... submitted... static... documents... static..."

The six-wheeled tank sped across the wasteland-like ground... The reason they did not use floating tanks was that the Heavenly Demons were highly sensitive to spiritual-energy engines, so humanity had been forced to bring these old fuel-powered tanks back into service.
Southwestern Front, Fifteenth District, Seventh Action Group... This was a patrol reconnaissance vehicle.
During wartime, the entire population had been mobilized. Any human with cultivation had received a corresponding military rank... The six people in the reconnaissance vehicle consisted of one first-class private and five third-class privates.
"Brother Jiang, we should be reaching our destination soon."
He looked at the young faces inside the vehicle. The oldest was no more than eighteen, while the youngest had only just turned fourteen. He silently nodded. Most of the time, he maintained his silence in front of these children.
Over the past year, after watching young lives die from exhaustion, he had encountered batch after batch of them.
They were excited and nervous, but also terrified... Who could teach them how to survive in this frightening era?
He could not either. He himself had already exhausted every ounce of strength just to stay alive.
"What are you looking at?"
The young man in the passenger seat was staring fixedly at his own arm. The first-class private could not help frowning.
The young man looked envious.
