Chapter 80
This kid has some skill
Fang Dalong wanted to stand behind Yang Ding to look after him, but was stopped by Lieutenant Sun.
"With your mediocre skills, leading the way would be suicide. We're just sparring partners; we'll stay at the back of the group."
"Lieutenant, we've reached the danger zone. Do you think we can leave without reinforcements?"
"I can call for backup anytime."
Fang Dalong still shook him off, saying, "No matter what, I don't want my sister to lose her husband again."
Lieutenant Sun was just putting on an act so that he could find an opportunity to deal with this guy later and carry out General Zhao's orders.
"You all saw it, I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen."
"We saw it, we saw it, we can testify for the boss," the other law enforcement officers replied.
Yang Ding did not object to Fang Dalong standing behind him; he felt it was safer that way.
The two now have a very high level of trust. Family is family, and Yang Ding's strategy of building his power base around his family can be considered as taking the first step.
"You'll be in charge of the ground later; watch out for collapses."
"it is good."
After Yang Ding finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Li, who was hiding among the law enforcement team.
Mao Jian asked in a low voice, "Brother Ding, that slut is trying to be clever. Let's call her to the front too."
"No rush. I think that Lieutenant Sun is already lusting after her. Once he takes the bait, we'll move Sun Li to the front."
"And while we're at it, let's drag those cowardly law enforcement officers down with us?"
"That's right."
Mao Jian smiled wickedly, "If we're talking about underhanded tactics, my brother is definitely a master."
"It's always better for a man to be upright and honest," Fang Dalong said.
"Your stubborn brain isn't even fit to carry your brother-in-law's shoes. Learn more from him."
Mao Jian and Fang Dalong were born in the same year, both two years older than Yang Ding, but now he felt in his heart that Yang Ding was the older brother.
After the students lined up, Yang Ding turned his headlamp to its brightest setting and was the first to enter the dark passage.
These ghost caves were meticulously designed, suggesting long-term planning. Ambushes were set up in the passageways of each transit station, presumably to thwart human pursuit.
After all, Jiangling City has a population of 2000 million, enough for them to breed hundreds of millions of Otherworldly beings.
At first, everyone was very nervous, keeping a close eye on the ghost caves above, below, left, and right. After walking for about ten minutes, they were not attacked, but just wandered around and around, not knowing when the end would come.
"How much effort must these guys have put in to carve out such a large space?"
"This shows that the law enforcement agency knew about their existence all along, but was just pretending not to know."
Fang Dalong also realized the darkness of Jiangling City, "At the end of the year, I'll have my dad transfer you to Donghai City."
"I'm just thanking my lucky stars that my father-in-law isn't beating me up."
"It's the system that assigned it to me. It's not like you're taking my sister for yourself. I'll speak up for you later."
"Okay, we'll see how much you mean to your parents then."
If Yang Ding were to go to Donghai City, he would definitely bring Ye Rou along, but that's unlikely.
Just then, a scream was heard from behind.
"Oh no, a White Walker is scratching me!"
"If it scratches you, you should stab it to death like a man, what's with all the yelling?" Yang Ding shouted.
After a brief commotion, "it ran away."
"Is anyone injured?"
"no."
"Stop chatting, and concentrate if you don't want to die."
"Brother Ding, there's someone ahead of you..."
Yang Ding didn't even turn around. He swept his sword across his back, and a head fell to the ground, followed by the corpse of the Otherworlder.
"Watch out, the ground is slippery, there are White Walker corpses."
Before he finished speaking, four more sharp claws extended from the left and right sides.
Yang Ding first chopped off their hands with a sweeping sword technique, then chopped off their heads even faster.
"They're here too."
"Up there, to the left, to the right, so many White Walkers!"
"Don't panic! In a narrow encounter, the brave will prevail! Kill them!"
The fact that the White Walkers launched a strong offensive indicates that they were on the right track.
The already narrow passageway was filled with the sounds of fierce fighting, which was quite brutal.
Fortunately, the students quickly overcame their fear and dared to fight back.
"There are people injured."
Yang Ding then killed three more. "The wounded should follow the crowd and not stop. If they stay in here, they will have no chance of survival."
"Lieutenant Sun, report the number of White Walkers we've killed to headquarters."
"I'm counting... 5... 8."
"10... 13..."
"14... 18... You've killed 20. Keep it up."
"Ouch, I almost tripped. 35, 40 now."
"Report your cadet casualties as well."
"Six people sustained minor injuries and are able to walk; there were no fatalities."
Zhou Ruoxi, who was overseeing the battle, was greatly shocked. "This kid has some skill."
This strength wasn't because Yang Ding was particularly powerful, but because he could actually inspire these novices to overcome their fear and fight bravely.
In the North, there are some renowned generals who, while not the strongest in their own right, are the greatest leaders.
Although she did want to use these mediocre students as bait, she still hoped they would survive if possible.
"Quickly send the results to the other 59 teams and have the enforcement team that provided training report the numbers."
"Yes, Class C2 has 165 points and continues to dominate the top spot. They just killed 43 White Walkers with zero casualties."
In less than ten minutes, Zhou Ruoxi saw the number of White Walkers killed steadily increase.
"700".
"847".
"1090".
"What are the battle losses so far?"
"60 teams suffered 300 additional casualties."
"We just used twice the amount of casualties, and now we're only using a third."
"Your Excellency, their approach is becoming increasingly concentrated."
Zhou Ruoxi looked at the center of the attack, "It should be here."
It seems the White Walkers sensed the approaching humans and began to retaliate, resulting in the attack on almost all the student groups, and the combat statistics continue to rise.
This is much faster than Zhou Ruoxi had anticipated; she had thought she wouldn't be able to find it this time.
She picked up the phone and called Zhou Zhengyao, the commander-in-chief of the Central Guard.
"Gather five thousand people into a line, confirm their positions, and then teleport in directly. Otherwise, those students will be slaughtered by the White Walkers."
"OK."
Yang Ding discovered that although the White Walkers were intelligent, they were truly ruthless when charging into battle.
Even though they had already killed over a hundred people, these guys still launched a fierce attack.
No wonder they can survive in the universe, capable of both mindless reproduction and the willingness to sacrifice themselves for their species at any time.
"Brother Ding, how much longer? I'm starting to feel exhausted."
"I have some Qi-Nourishing Pills in my pocket, take out three."
Mao Jian quickly pulled a bottle out of his pocket. It contained ten Qi-Nourishing Pills that Ye Rou had prepared for Yang Ding. He could take them if he was injured or exhausted.
Yang Ding could have chosen not to eat, but since he fought the fiercest and killed the most Others, he had to put on an act.
He chewed on the Qi-Nourishing Pill and began his rampage.
These guys ambushed us from inside the cave, which diminished their agility advantage; they still can't match our human intelligence.
