"Dig and drive you together..."
"Aren't you going to fight?"
"Hey, come here and scratch my itch!"
" Old Wang, when was the last time you went home?"
"... It's been such a long, long time."
"Eh--"
"Your shift has changed. Go and rest for a bit, so you can prepare for any possible battle!"
"Good!"
"..."
A cacophony of sounds echoed in my ears.
Shen Heng closed his eyes, his attention rapidly wandering among the sounds, trying to find some useful information.
He didn't screen, nor could he.
After all, no one can guarantee that things we haven't talked about now won't be discussed later.
Therefore, his attention could only dart around, searching for every possible piece of information, but...
Sensing the various voices in his mind, Shen Heng frowned slightly.
Years of training have given him the mental strength to handle all kinds of battles.
Perceive, anticipate, and capture the opponent's intentions...
There's nothing wrong with any of that.
But monitoring tens of thousands of different voices simultaneously still seems too far-fetched!
Thinking of this, Shen Heng slightly raised his eyes and looked at the bird -Calamity Beast wandering twenty or thirty kilometers away.
Have Qin Yu watch from below, while I get closer and then directly transmit my voice to ask?
For him, as long as there was a certain distance, it wouldn't be difficult to transmit information to those inside.
Just as Shen Heng was pondering this, his gaze suddenly paused slightly, and he looked up.
A somewhat familiar voice was picked up amidst the chaotic cacophony.
"... Have we detected any reinforcements from the Calamity Beast yet?"
Calamity Beast, reinforcements? Li Boyuan?... Shen Heng raised his eyes, and the figure of Zhang Weijun, the chief of staff, flashed through his mind.
He pondered for a moment, then lowered his eyes.
A voice was responding to Li Boyuan's question in his ear.
"Yes, there are currently no signs of any more Calamity Beast detected within the monitored area, and Inspector Lin's recent reply also indicated the same!"
"Um..."
Li Boyuan responded in a deep voice.
There was a moment of silence, then a strong voice said uncertainly, "They haven't come after so many days. Could it be that the Calamity Beast doesn't actually have reinforcements and is really trying to surround us and kill us?"
"It's not certain yet, but if we wait a few more days and no new beast tide arrives within five days, then the Calamity Beast are most likely trying to surround and kill us!" Li Boyuan replied.
"Is the Calamity Beast trying to annihilate us without suffering any casualties in this way?" the stronger voice asked.
"Heh, who cares what they think? If that's the case, that's for the best. Anyway, we have the ability of our soldiers to supply water, and we still have plenty of food. Even if we run out later, we can have Captain Gu organize the Supervision Bureau to hunt down some Calamity Beast for food through surprise attacks!" another voice replied.
"It's not time to let our guard down yet!" Li Boyuan's voice rang out again. "The base should be finding out about my situation soon, right?"
"Hmm, judging by the timeline, if the intercepted supply convoy doesn't return by tomorrow, they'll know... Of course, they won't know our situation here, but they'll know we've run into trouble!"
"So, the base will send people then?"
"Um!"
"In that case, even if the Calamity Beast receive reinforcements, we shouldn't be too worried, right?" The voice sounded somewhat optimistic.
"If the Calamity Beast truly has reinforcements, then we can't count on this." Li Boyuan's voice
"Hmm? Why?"
"We haven't sent any information out. The base isn't sure what's going on here, so even if they send someone over, it will only be a small detachment to scout. That won't save Frontier-Pacifying City."
Moreover, this place is nearly 2,000 kilometers away from the base, so even if the base sends people directly over, it would be very difficult for them to come and provide support.
In other words, if the Calamity Beast really does have reinforcements...
Chen Hua stood to the side, his gaze occasionally drifting to Captain Shen had his eyes closed.
He knew this was likely intelligence gathering, but... were they trying to find a safer route to get in?
Looking up at the dark figures forming a circle in the distance, Chen Hua frowned.
He had just been thinking about what to do now, but after much consideration, the safest option seemed to be to wait until the Calamity Beast began attacking Frontier-Pacifying City before heading there.
Now that the threat has passed, the focus of the Calamity Beast will definitely be primarily on them.
With their equipment, it would be extremely difficult to get there at that distance!
Even if they eventually manage to get through, the casualties will likely be enormous!
Of course, even if it were as he imagined, they wouldn't necessarily be very safe going there after the Calamity Beast started attacking Frontier-Pacifying City.
But at least it's much better than just going straight there like this!
Did Captain Shen not expect this?
Chen Hua frowned with some worry, his gaze unconsciously drifting to Captain Shen was still standing to the side with his eyes closed.
To be honest, he didn't think he was particularly smart; if he could think of something, then Captain Shen should be able to as well.
But no one is perfect, and who can guarantee they won't make mistakes?
Could it be that Captain Shen was too eager this time and simply didn't think of this?
Thinking of this, Chen Hua frowned even more deeply.
He was considering whether or not to voice his idea to avoid potential losses.
He hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Inspector Qin Yu standing next to Captain Shen.
The other person stood quietly in place, neither urging nor asking any questions, just waiting.
He paused, then remained silent and continued to wait.
He had already decided that if Captain Shen really had the idea of leading the team directly there later, he would then express his thoughts.
Sure enough, every outstanding general had an advisor beside him to help identify and fill any gaps in their abilities... Chen Hua nodded unconsciously.
He waited a while longer.
finally.
Captain Shen slowly opened his eyes.
Support, siege, over 20,000 Calamity Beast, and if there is support, the unknown number...
Several pieces of information echoed in Shen Heng's mind. He lowered his eyes, his gaze flickering.
Suddenly, a question came from the side.
" Captain Shen, are we going to lead our team in a surprise attack and try to infiltrate Frontier-Pacifying City?"
Shen Heng looked toward Chen Hua was asking the question, following the sound.
Her gaze was fixed on him, but not on his face.
Past events, arrival, Calamity Beast attacks, support...
Seeing that Captain Shen was looking at him but his gaze was unfocused and he didn't reply, Chen Hua didn't know what to do for a moment.
He instinctively opened his mouth, trying to wake the other person.
"Uh, this..."
This seemed to work; the other person's gaze focused on them.
"No, I won't go!"
