Chapter 166

The Armament Camp, unable to locate any official military personnel, also ended its reconnaissance activities.

For more than half an hour, the two sides did not interact again.

Until the notification tone sounds again.

"Bite--"

The protection period for the main city has ended.

Then, the oval protective shield covering the entire main city instantly melted away like snowmelt.

Hot air rushed into the city, and the indoor temperature rose sharply.

Inside the main city Command Center.

"The Armament Camp will continue reconnaissance and surveillance, but the area of surveillance should be reduced, with a focus on monitoring enemy activity near the main city."

"You are responsible for the arrangements of the logistics team and the Recruit Camp."

Xu Jintang quickly explained.

Xue Zhongqi leaned back in his chair, lost in thought. "Why is the regular army suddenly so quiet? Logically, they should have rushed over as soon as the protection period ended."

Yan Yuting spoke up, "What we can think of, the other side can naturally think of as well. Once the protection period ends, our control will definitely be at its strictest, and their attacks will be a waste of effort."

Xu Jintang stroked his chin, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. "So, logically speaking, when are we at our lowest point?"

The group fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Xue Zhongqi suddenly remembered something, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up abruptly, "I almost forgot about the Fire Rain."

Xu Jintang turned his head to look over, "Fire Rain?"

When she first entered the assessment, she remembered being warned that the simulated battlefield might be accompanied by natural disasters such as fire rain and lava flows.

Xue Zhongqi: "Generally speaking, the first natural disaster will break out immediately after the protection period ends."

Yan Yuting added, "Moreover, when a natural disaster breaks out, the main city buildings will definitely suffer the most damage."

The tents of the regular army can be moved at any time, and even if they are destroyed, they can be rebuilt in a very short time.

However, once a fixed structure like the main city is destroyed, it is virtually impossible to rebuild it.

Xu Jintang looked up at the sky, "Judging from this sky, it seems it's about to change soon."

The others also looked up and fell silent.

Time flies, and half an hour passed quickly.

Surprisingly, neither the formal army nor the training army made any move.

Outside the simulated battlefield.

Jing Hongyi rested his hand on the edge of the table, his knuckles lightly tapping the surface, and his expression became meaningful.

"Since they both expect a rain of fire, then let's grant their wish."

According to the simulated battlefield environment, the first fire rain disaster will indeed occur soon after the main city's protection period ends, but the timing is not fixed.

Wang Yile immediately understood and gave a hand gesture to his subordinate.

The subordinate quickly nodded and withdrew.

The scorching sun beat down on her skin, and in no time, a large patch of Xu Jintang's cheeks turned red from the sun.

Without the protective shield, the radiation from the sunlight in the main city became even stronger.

Xu Jintang stepped out, slowly raising his hands, and a vast amount of spiritual power instantly gathered in his palms.

A chilling current, carrying an extreme cold, rapidly spread in all directions.

"Sizzle--"

The ice cubes had just formed when the intense sunlight melted a layer of them, turning them into white water vapor.

Xu Jintang pursed his lips, and the spiritual energy in his palm instantly surged outwards.

A massive glacier spread out from beneath her feet.

In just a few seconds, the ground within a ten-mile radius centered on her was completely frozen.

The appearance of the ice caused the surrounding scorching temperature to drop rapidly, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Song Tianqi stretched and walked out, "Class monitor, this ice-type ability is so awesome! It's like turning on a refrigerator the moment you use it."

Xu Jintang didn't stop and continued walking into the city, releasing his supernatural abilities as he went.

In no time at all, the sweltering city was transformed into Snow City, with ice everywhere and cold air spreading throughout the city.

The team members, who were initially irritated by the heat, immediately relaxed and ran around freely.

"Damn, it's so cool!"

"Where did this ice come from?"

"It's Sister Jintang's special ability; she's ice-based."

After walking around the entire main city, Xu Jintang's mental energy was mostly depleted.

She circled back to the command room, intending to find a place to recover her mental strength, when the alarm suddenly went off.

"Beep beep--beep beep--"

Warning: Firestorm hazards may occur in ten minutes.

The satellite detector suddenly issued a warning.

Feng Ruihan, who was on a mobile post, reacted immediately, "Notify the Armament Camp to activate large-scale defensive weapons immediately and prepare in advance."

"The drones and satellite equipment that were conducting reconnaissance outside have also all been retrieved."

"The Logistics Camp battalion is ready to provide support at any time."

He issued instructions methodically, without the slightest sign of panic.

After issuing all the emergency instructions, Feng Ruihan went straight to Xu Jintang and reported, "Captain, the emergency preparations are complete. Any further instructions?"

Chapter 166

Xu Jintang's gaze fell on the monitoring screen in front of him, and he lowered his head to think for a while.

"Nothing for now. Observe first and be prepared to be vigilant against any attack from the regular army."

Feng Ruihan immediately replied, "Yes."

Time passed by, second by second.

Xu Jintang stood by the window, gazing at the distant scenery.

The sky grew increasingly dark, with a crimson light pressing down from overhead, and the surrounding air became stifling.

"Bang--"

A shower of sparks suddenly fell from the sky, striking the defensive shield near the main city with a loud bang.

"The fire rain has begun! Everyone be careful!" The trainee soldiers guarding the main city gate shouted to remind their teammates.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than more and more Martian rain began to fall.

The protective shield began to shake violently after being hit.

The sweltering heat spread rapidly into the city.

At this moment, in the wilderness ten miles outside the main city.

A swift and agile regular army unit began to advance rapidly towards the main city.

"Remember, be quick. Once you've eliminated one person, retreat immediately. Don't linger," the squad leader emphasized.

"Clear!"

After giving his instructions, the squad leader immediately led his team to continue their charge towards the main city.

A few minutes later, the area affected by the fire and rain disaster expanded further.

The entire sky above the main city was shrouded in fiery clouds, casting patches of gradually changing orange-red light on the earth.

"Bang bang bang--"

Meteorites are still falling from Mars.

The main city's defensive shield became shaky and soon developed numerous cracks.

Until there was a "click--".

Huge cracks spread from the protective shield, and before long, the shield split open from both sides.

A Martian meteorite falling from the sky crashed directly onto the main city.

Under the intense heat, the bricks and tiles of the main city were instantly covered with a layer of ash.

"Run! A meteorite is coming!" The team members guarding the city gate quickly turned and retreated.

The others quickly realized what was happening and followed suit.

However, some team members reacted too slowly and were hit by Martian meteorites before they could dodge.

Flames quickly scorched and rose on their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, several trainees were eliminated.

At this moment, the regular army troops, who had already secretly advanced to the back gate, took advantage of the chaos among the people inside the city to climb up the city wall and jump into the city.

The squad leader gestured, "I'm going to the warehouse. You guys just cause a little trouble and then leave."

The team members immediately answered in unison, "Yes!"

The squad leader lowered his head slightly, gripped his dagger tightly, and swiftly charged into the depths of the main city.

Captain Lei's secret mission for him this time was to take advantage of the chaos to destroy the supplies in the training army's warehouse.

Before setting off today, Captain Lei gave an almost death order: even if he was eliminated, he had to destroy the trainee army's warehouse supplies.

The sudden fire and rain disaster in the city, despite prior instructions and arrangements, inevitably caused chaos as the trainee troops fled in all directions.

The squad leader, who had made his way to the warehouse area amidst the chaos, slowly stopped. He leaned against the wall, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

Four trainee soldiers stood guard at the warehouse entrance, each with an infrared pistol at their waist, their bodies ramrod straight.

The squad leader held his breath, pressed his body against the wall, and slowly moved towards the warehouse door.

I thought he had hidden it very well.

As soon as the body moved halfway, an alarm suddenly sounded.

"Who!"

The four trainee soldiers guarding the warehouse entrance quickly turned around, their eyes wary as they drew their infrared pistols from their waists.

Seeing that he had been exposed, the squad leader stopped hiding and quickly raised his hand to activate his superpower.

A huge battle axe appeared in his hand.

Crimson flames flickered on the battle axe as he raised his hand and swung it downwards.

A tremendous amount of energy erupted from the battle axe, slashing towards the four trainee soldiers opposite.

"Get out of the way! Let me handle this!" Song Tianqi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, spread his arms, and jumped directly in front of the four trainee soldiers.

The four of them were clearly prepared, quickly leaving the scene and giving Song Tianqi the space to perform.

Nine clusters of Scarlet Flame quickly formed and slammed into the energy wave cleaving from the opposing battle axe.

The two attacks collided in mid-air.

The squad leader was knocked back several steps.

Song Tianqi not only didn't move, but charged forward, activating his supernatural power once again.

Fiery red feathers rained down from the sky, engulfing the squad leader before he could react.

Two loud "bangs" sounds.

The fiery red feather exploded instantly.

The squad leader's figure was buried in the flames of the explosion and disappeared from sight.

Song Tianqi clapped his hands with a relaxed expression, then looked around. "Is there anyone else?"
