Chapter 135: Codename: Dawn

In the past few days, while Jiang Kai was taking care of his elder brother in the hospital, several more countries had discovered connection teleportation arrays. At present, more than seventy-three countries were qualified to enter the public area.

At the same time, Huaxia was also intensively planning the breakthrough operation for the public area.

The Tiger Squad fought their way through the selection competition, emerging victorious among twenty-three competing teams, securing their qualification to enter the public area.

It had to be said—Wei Ying truly valued Yuan Zhu and Nuannuan. He had actually placed them in a team with the potential to enter the War God Hall training camp.

Apart from the Tiger Squad, two other teams also qualified: the Tianheng Squad and the Hot Blood Squad.

———

At this moment, fifteen members from the three teams were anxiously waiting in the offline training camp meeting room in Shangjing City.

Before long, the chief instructor of the Huaxia War God Hall training camp entered the office with three other generals.

"No need to salute," As soon as a middle-aged man stepped in, he said to the group, "Time is tight, so we'll keep this brief."

As he spoke, he walked to the head of the table, his eyes sharp and expression solemn as he looked at the fifteen people, "I am Hua Tianchen, and I am the overall commander of this breakthrough mission."

Upon hearing the name "Hua Tianchen," Nuannuan and the others showed a trace of shock in their eyes.

Yuan Zhu, though unaware of who this person was, could tell from Su Nuannuan's reaction that his identity must be terrifyingly high.

Hua Tianchen had an air of decisiveness and efficiency. He continued, "You should all know that this mission is extremely difficult, but you three teams were selected from the training camp. You are the elite of the elite."

"This mission can only succeed—it must not fail!"

The tension in the room grew.

"Previously, we sent over 80 teams to break through to the public area. However, the connection gate can only transport three teams, a total of fifteen people, per day. We are unable to gain a numerical advantage. The more than four hundred warriors who tried to break through were all killed and forced to retreat."

"But these warriors provided us with valuable information! For that, I must thank them," As he spoke, Hua Tianchen took out a map and spread it across the table, signaling for everyone to gather around.

"This is a public area map we bought from the black market."

"There are a total of four teleportation array locations in the public area—here, here, here, and here," Hua Tianchen pointed to four different positions, "We refer to them as Point A, Point B, Point C, and Point D."

"From the previous breakthrough attempts, we've observed that teams appear randomly at one of these four teleportation arrays. However, a critical point is that any teams using the same connection teleportation array will always appear at the same teleportation array within the public area on the same day!"

"The shortest interval between transmissions is three seconds. I trust that you can hold out for that long until the three teams regroup."

"As soon as you arrive in the public area, you'll be facing an onslaught from twenty to thirty enemy teams. After the brutal battles that have occurred there, only the strongest teams remain. You must fight and retreat simultaneously, heading in this direction," Hua Tianchen firmly pressed his finger on a spot on the map.

Chen Biao asked, "General Hua, will we be safe once we reach that point? I doubt they'll just let us go. They'll definitely chase us down and try to kill us offline."

Hua Tianchen raised his head and looked straight at Chen Biao, "Yes, if you can reach this point, you will be safe."

Seeing the doubtful looks in their eyes, Hua Tianchen explained further, "Until now, this mission has been classified. But now, I can finally tell you."

"Currently, forty-two countries have secured permanent residency in the public area. Using their early-entry advantage, they've begun blocking access to the teleportation arrays."

"In this situation, any country attempting to break through using only three teams is nearly impossible."

"But from another perspective, more than thirty countries are also locked out of the public area."

"We have already contacted these countries. At 5 AM Shangjing time on the 26th—tomorrow morning—each of them will deploy their strongest three teams to launch a joint assault on the public area."

"At that moment, our allied nations will storm the public area in a coordinated attack."

"We've already reached an agreement—the teams that successfully break through will regroup at this designated location and form a temporary alliance."

Yuan Zhu took a deep breath. To the outside world, it might seem like Huaxia's military was at its wit's end, repeatedly sending teams that seemed doomed to fail.

But little did they know, a grand strategy had already been set in motion.

Hua Tianchen and Wei Ying, commanders like them, were definitely not headless chickens running in a panic.

After finishing his tactical briefing, Hua Tianchen took a deep breath and looked at the fifteen warriors before him, "Even though thirty-one countries will launch this joint attack, you must understand. The nations currently occupying the public area are far stronger than our allies!"

"So our main goal is not to fight head-on, but to break through!"

"And as the initiator of this operation, Huaxia's warriors will be the first wave of attackers. You will face the enemy's fiercest resistance."

"Who are guarding the teleportation arrays? They are top-tier experts below Tier 3! What kinds of professions do they have? Hypnotists, Martial Artists, Bardic Swordsmen, Ninjutsu Masters, Barbarians, Cowboys, Sorcerers, Hunters, Athletes, Thugs… Their methods are unfamiliar to you, but their strength is undeniable!"

"You all understand, every nation is encountering bottlenecks in their exploration. And to break through those bottlenecks, the Lost Lands may be our only chance!"

"You don't yet know what's happening in the Beast God Battlefield, and I won't tell you now. It's not something you can handle at this stage."

"But what I can tell you is this, without exaggeration, this mission carries the fate of our nation. The survival of our people depends on it."

At that moment, Yuan Zhu and the others felt an overwhelming sense of duty.

"This mission is codenamed: Dawn!", Hua Tianchen's voice was solemn as he looked at the group, "I will repeat—no matter what, even if only one of you survives, you must plant the Huaxia flag at the rendezvous point!"

———

There were thirty minutes left before Yuan Zhu and the others would log into Ghost Star through the Green Channel.

At this moment, Yuan Zhu sat on a bench, his gaze unfocused and his face slightly pale.

Li Biao noticed and walked over, patting Yuan Zhu's broad shoulder, "Zhuzi, are you nervous?"

Yuan Zhu looked at his captain, "Captain, I… If I drink, I might not be able to break through."

Li Biao was momentarily stunned.

Against dozens of enemy teams, if Zhuzi didn't drink, his combat effectiveness would probably drop to negative.

However, if he did drink, strategy and tactics would go out the window. Judging from his drunken state, he would likely fight to the death.

Given the mission's importance, as the captain, Li Biao had to prioritize completing the objective.

That meant Zhuzi's fate was already decided.

No wonder he was so nervous.

After a long silence, Li Biao spoke solemnly, "I'm sorry, but I won't allow you to back down. A soldier's duty is to defend our nation."

Then, he suddenly grinned and patted Yuan Zhu's shoulder again, "But Zhuzi, don't be scared. I'll go with you."

Yuan Zhu looked up at him, incredulous.

The captain understood what he meant. And when he said he'd go with him, did that mean…?

Li Biao smiled faintly, "There's something I never told you and Nuannuan. I'm kind of jealous of Jiang Kai. He barely trained you two, yet you improved so much! From that perspective, I'm not a very competent captain."

"Captain!", Yuan Zhu wanted to say something, but Li Biao cut him off.

Shaking his head, Li Biao gave a confident smile, "But I do have one thing over him."

"I will never abandon my teammates!"
