Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 70 Get up!

The post-war Yellowstone City was in a state of depression. Chen Jian led the team to re-establish electromagnetic shielding, and immediately arranged for Lei Jie and Shen Yue to go to the island to unload the equipment. At the same time, he continued to drive two cat cars back to the 7025 fortification to transport more scarce weapons and ammunition.

On the other side, the man named Huang Yu who organized the local front was busy running around counting casualties and assisting He Shuo and Xie Liu in treating the wounded.

After a round of statistics, he realized belatedly that there were very few casualties among the people left. Only one person had his arm scratched by shrapnel, one had his leg torn off, and two were hit in the torso by bullets.

It wasn't even a fatal injury.

He reported the result to Chen Jian, who shook his head and said regretfully:
"You are brave, but you have not yet learned to follow orders."

“In fact, if you hadn’t disrupted the deployment at the final stage and gathered the scattered people together, even the two wounded soldiers who were shot wouldn’t have appeared.”

"Although the monster looks very close, it is at least 300 meters away."

"Most of the Mechanicus Skitarii who are fighting together are gunners. They don't have many guns to begin with, and they are firing on the back of a bumpy monster. As long as you spread out, they will be lucky to hit you."

"In fact, they can't do anything to you, it's just that you are afraid."

Huang Yu looked at Chen Jian in astonishment. After careful recollection, he finally reacted belatedly.

That’s right, the people under his command were indeed frightened by the monster.

When the nearly 10-meter-tall monster pounced on them, it seemed that everyone lost their sanity and the ability to think.

There is hope all around, but you think you have no way out, so you blindly want to exchange one life for another.

What a stupid sacrifice.
At this moment, Huang Yu finally felt the difference between them, the "mob", and the so-called "chosen ones".
-
Although they say they are not the chosen ones of God, but "ancestors".

He looked at Chen Jian with a guilty look on his face. Chen Jian waved his hand and said comfortingly:
"It doesn't matter. For someone who is going to the battlefield for the first time, it's already pretty good to be able to do this."

"The casualties are still within an acceptable range. Now tell me, how many people are left in Yellowstone?"

As soon as Chen Jian finished speaking, Huang Yu immediately replied:
"There were 23 people left in the queue at the end. Excluding the four injured, there are now 4 people left."

"There were about 50 people who followed us to the shore. Some ran away, but most of them came back after the battle."

"Some of those who left before have returned, probably dozens of them. But I think the others may not come back."

"The faith in their ancestors has been completely wiped out. They can't survive here anyway, so the ancestral land may not be that important to them anymore."

"clear."

Chen Jian nodded and gave the order:

"You go and organize everyone and clean up all the buildings and industries controlled by the Mechanicus."

"Gather all the supplies and equipment and wait for me to distribute them."

"The last 19 people left are the new city defense team. If anyone disobeys orders, I give you the authority to open fire!"

"Understood!"

Huang Yu answered without hesitation. After witnessing with his own eyes how the "ancestors" easily killed a huge monster and wiped out the Mechanicus that had oppressed Yellowstone City for a long time, his trust in these outsiders had reached its peak.

It's not just because of their powerful military force, but more because of their extremely precise way of doing things.

What you think are omissions are not omissions, but just twists and turns in your plan.
A small seed was quietly planted in Huang Yu's heart, and he suddenly realized a truth:
Perhaps obeying orders is the most profitable option compared to questioning and resisting.
Not only him, other residents who stayed behind also felt the same way.

It was easy for them to organize themselves. After collecting enough equipment, the 19-member team quickly eliminated several "rebels" who were inclined towards the Mechanicus and were hiding among the returning residents. Order was instantly stabilized.

Then, it took more than 4 hours, and according to Chen Jian’s request, Huang Yu led the team to complete the cleaning of all the buildings.

A large amount of equipment, food, and weapons were piled in front of the door of the ruined Mechanicus Church, and all the returning residents gathered there, waiting for Chen Jian's team to inspect.

Just at this time, Lei Jie and his companions returned to the island with their equipment.

A group of seven people, fully equipped, walked towards the Mechanical Church, causing a commotion among the residents waiting in the distance.

"coming!"

Someone suppressed his excitement and whispered:
"It was them. They killed the monster and Mongolia died." "Mongolia died in their hands"

"Just a few people? I thought it was an army."

"Just these few people are enough, don't talk!"

Chen Jian and his companions had already approached the Mechanical Church, and the commotion in the crowd became more intense.

Huangshi raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, but his prestige was obviously not enough for these people to listen to him.

“Ancestors, be my God!”

Someone fell to his knees with a thud, and then everyone knelt down and kowtowed towards Chen Jian and the others.

Soon, the noisy voices turned into unified shouts.

"Ancestors are above! Ancestors are above!"

Everyone in the team seemed a little overwhelmed, but a few Holy Bloods seemed to be more or less accustomed to it.

Zeng Yi approached Chen Jian and whispered:
"From now on, you are the new king of this Yellowstone City."

"Don't stop them. They are just welcoming you to the throne in their own way."

Chen Jian looked at the people kneeling on the ground thoughtfully, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

He simply led his team through a path made by the crowd and reached the highest point of the crowd.

Then he raised his right hand and said:
"stand up!"

"I am not your king!"

"There is no emperor or god here!"

"I want you to stand up, stand in front of me, and look at me!"

After the words were spoken, the crowd fell silent.

The bewildered crowd looked around and saw that the 19 people who had recently formed the city defense team had stood up one after another.

They stood straight, but their expressions were still solemn and respectful.

The yellow croaker at the front looked straight at Chen Jian, his heart filled with surging emotions.

He originally thought that "standing up" was only a privilege for the brave, but now he understood that for these "ancestors", people were supposed to stand.

So, they are really ancestors.

Because Huang Yu still remembered, in his vague memory, the old man in Huangshi City once said that the people in Huangshi City would never kneel down to others easily.

They only kneel to heaven and earth, their parents and benefactors.

But when did the people in this city gradually become like this?

Since when did people here get used to using "kneeling" to express obedience?
It probably started when the power of the Mechanicus began to infiltrate Yellowstone City.
They brought technology, and within a few decades the population here grew from a few hundred to more than two thousand, but it also changed everything here.

Even in the end, it pushed the people here back into the abyss.
Huang Yu's eyes gradually changed. He looked at Chen Jian in front of him, and the other party continued to speak:
"From now on, all of you are the masters of Yellowstone City."

"The battle is not over yet. We killed the monsters raised by the Mechanicus. They will definitely take revenge with all their might."

"So, I want all of you to stand up and protect your homes, and be prepared to make sacrifices."

"But you can rest assured."

"We will stand with you!"
