Chapter 118 Annihilating the Enemy
Li Chenglong finally managed to calm the soldiers down before returning to his makeshift office to pack up and prepare for departure. Eliminating the enemy as soon as possible was his guiding principle; he adhered to it when killing Sun Xiao and during the attack on the Tianqi Base. Yun Lan entered and said to Li Chenglong, "Yang Liu is awake and wants to see you." Li Chenglong followed Yun Lan into the female special forces' rest area. The special forces team, excluding Yun Lan and Li Chenglong, consisted of 40 people, including 28 female special forces members, assigned to the first floor of the first building in the complex. They shared a deep bond; when Yun Lan and Zhao Liying carried Yang Liu back, many shed tears, and some vowed revenge.
Seeing Li Chenglong enter, the special forces soldiers consciously made way for him. Li Chenglong walked to Yang Liu's bedside. After the treatment from the healing-type ability user and the application of numerous internal and external recovery medications, Yang Liu had regained consciousness, and her face had regained color. Seeing Li Chenglong enter, she tried to get up. Li Chenglong quickly went over to stop her: "You're still injured. Your priority now is to rest and recover. Don't worry about anything else." Yang Liu said sadly, "Captain Li, I'm sorry. I couldn't complete the mission you assigned, and I even lost two brothers." Li Chenglong said, "How can you blame me? It's my fault for not considering things carefully. I sent only seven of you. With no intelligence, I should have been responsible for scouting." Yang Liu shook her head: "Captain Li, you're a leader in the army. How can such scouting missions always require the highest-ranking leader to personally oversee them? What's the point of having our reconnaissance unit then?"
Li Chenglong didn't respond. To change the subject, he said, "You rest well. Yunlan and I will definitely avenge you." As he was about to leave, Yang Liu stopped him. "Captain Li, these fishmen seem different from the last ones. They're not as strong, but they're all wearing armor of some kind. It's very sturdy, and the armor seems to conceal their abilities, making them harder for us to spot. They're also wearing strange helmets. I suspect our discovery is related to those helmets." Li Chenglong nodded, keeping her words in mind. He asked a female special forces member to take good care of her, and then he, Yunlan, and Zhao Liying left.
After a while, Hao Dahai, the company and platoon leaders of the Third Battalion, and the political instructor gathered together. It was already 11 PM, and Li Chenglong took out several rechargeable desk lamps and placed them in the room. Without further ado, he got straight to the point: "Yunlan and I will go to the port first thing tomorrow morning and kill those three fishmen. Because the fishmen are very strong, to minimize unnecessary losses, Hao Dahai, you lead the soldiers to garrison here, and Zhao Liying, you take half of the special forces and wait outside the port." Hao Dahai wanted to say something, but seeing Li Chenglong's serious expression, he immediately saluted and said, "Yes, sir!" After making the arrangements, Li Chenglong chatted with the others for a while before they dispersed.
Early the next morning, Li Chenglong and Yun Lan led half of the special forces team away. After a 20-minute forced march, they finally arrived at the port. Li Chenglong told Zhao Liying and the others to wait outside, while he and Yun Lan swaggered inside. The night before, after they left, Li Chenglong and Yun Lan had discussed how to deal with the three fish-men. They concluded that since the fish-men seemed to have detection devices, a sneak attack would be difficult; it would be better to confront them directly and end the battle quickly.
The port was vast. The two walked for a while, each using their own eyes, but still couldn't find the fish-men. Yunlan whispered, "We've walked for so long and still haven't seen them. Could they have already left?" Just as Yunlan finished speaking, three fish-men jumped down from a dozen stacked containers. Li Chenglong looked closely and, just as Yang Liu had described, the three fish-men were wearing metal armor and strange helmets, staring intently at them. Li Chenglong used his True Dragon Eye to observe: "Advanced soldier of the Dane Star People, Level 6, attributes: Constitution 205, Strength 207, Agility 200, Spirit 192. Special move: A super shockwave released from the steel fork in its hand."
这个属性倒是非常一般，有些属性还比不上曙光城的6级异能者，但是戴恩星人有一个优势就是属性比较平均发展，比如现在赵睿身为6级力量系异能者，体质222、力量231、敏捷135、精神120。但是相对于6级觉醒者，这鱼人完全就不够看了。就比如李雪现在是A级6级美人鱼觉醒者，体质240、力量223、敏捷235、精神260。
Yunlan glared at the three mermen, her teeth clenched in hatred. "The one on the right is mine, the one on the left is yours. Let's see who can kill them first, and the last one is his." Li Chenglong nodded. "Okay." Looking at Li Chenglong's side first, he held the Dragon Emperor Sword in his right hand and, with a defiant gesture, gave the merman on the left, who was wielding a steel fork, the middle finger. The blue-green merman immediately charged forward, brandishing his fork. Adhering to the principle of a swift victory, Li Chenglong immediately went all out, and with his immense attribute boost, he quickly forced the merman into a retreating position within a few moves.
The mermen, having suffered repeated setbacks, seemed deeply insulted. They roared towards the sky, then stood together, their steel forks emitting a dazzling green light. As they gathered their strength, the three beams of light gradually merged. Li Chenglong and Yun Lan exchanged a smile, then joined hands and began to gather their power as well. Their bodies gradually emanated the energy of a golden dragon and a fire phoenix, which swirled above their heads, the energy waves blowing away everything in their path. The three mermen reached their peak power, roaring as a massive green shockwave shot towards Li Chenglong and Yun Lan.
Without dodging or evading, the two shouted in unison, facing the shockwave unleashed by the fishmen, "Dragon and Phoenix Heaven-Shaking Fist!" Immediately, the roar of dragons and the cry of phoenixes rang out, clearly audible to the special forces soldiers waiting outside. A golden-red energy wave, composed of a golden dragon and a fiery phoenix, surged directly towards the three fishmen. Seeing such powerful energy, the fishmen prepared to flee, quickly jumping away. But the Dragon and Phoenix Heaven-Shaking Fist automatically split into three streams, each rushing towards them simultaneously. Less than two seconds later, three enormous explosions rang out simultaneously, the shockwaves sending many nearby containers flying and even causing waves to rise on the distant sea.
Li Chenglong brushed the dust off Yunlan's hair, then used the walkie-talkie to instruct Zhao Liying to lead the team in. He then notified Zheng Aiguo, telling him to leave a group of men behind while the rest came to clean up the battlefield and collect supplies. Jinghai City's international trade port wasn't very large, handling only 3 TEUs a day, but it certainly contained a lot of valuable goods. He examined the three mangled fish-man corpses; their armor and helmets were destroyed, making research impossible. Li Chenglong tossed them aside. The three steel forks were still intact. While called forks, Li Chenglong wasn't sure what material they were made of; they felt similar to super-alloy battle swords, but much better. He gave one to Zhao Liying to distribute to special forces members who needed it, and the other two to Hao Dahai later. He also obtained three green crystals from the three fish-men's bodies—a decent haul.
After dealing with the fishmen, Li Chenglong went to the containers. Yun Lan had found a list of the containers, detailing their contents. Li Chenglong collected the essential items that Dawn City was currently lacking. Yun Lan then reported, "The special forces reported that they haven't found the oil tanker, but they have unloaded barrels of crude oil and refined oil." The two quickly followed the special forces members to the fuel storage area. The storage was excellent; there were at least tens of thousands of barrels of crude oil and refined oil alone. Since a standard barrel of crude oil is 159 liters, the amount stored here was considerable.
The two were overjoyed to see so much crude oil and refined oil, and began frantically filling their storage spaces. Half an hour later, all the crude oil and refined oil in those warehouses had been stored in their storage rings by Li Chenglong and Yun Lan. Many oil tankers from tank trucks, along with some large storage tanks, were also taken in by Yun Lan, as Li Chenglong's storage space was already full. Hao Dahai led the soldiers of the Third Battalion to begin cleaning up, but because they hadn't brought many vehicles, although they had a lot of valuable items, they couldn't take much back. Even Han Xiaoling's storage space was crammed full.
At noon, Li Chenglong assembled the team and handed two steel forks to Hao Dahai. Hao Dahai was very happy to receive the weapons. Currently, Wu Gang, the battalion commander of the first battalion, has the Demon-Slaying Bow, Zheng Aiguo, the battalion commander of the second battalion, has a level six zombie warrior's sword, Qi Guoan, the battalion commander of the fifth battalion, has a tiger-shaped sword, and Zhao Rui from his own battalion has a mountain-splitting axe brought from the Trial Grounds. He himself is currently only using a weapon made by the super alloy sword-making machine. Although this weapon is also very good, it is indeed a bit insufficient for him, a level six ability user.
After lunch, the group began their journey back. Li Chenglong decided that once they returned, they would immediately assemble a convoy to transport supplies, taking everything they could for any eventuality. On their way back, they also picked up Lin Ruyi and her group of over thirty people.
