At most, we can add a Longmen Commercial Street.
Of course, there are exceptions... If some strange cracks outside are not sealed, they will cause countless monsters to surge in, just like the nature of evolution.
If you use up your skills in the previous wave, you won't be able to withstand the next strong wave...
This led to the loss of control.
Therefore, at that time, we could no longer simply use the idea of annihilation to think about how to defend.
However, none of these factors affected his decision to select people.
If the opponent's strength is changing... then Li Ji can just keep his side at a relatively high level, right?
Sustainability skills are a natural fit for this!
Just as Li Ji was about to ask Tian Sheng some more questions, Xingyun walked to the front of the crowd and shouted loudly:
"Alright, everyone, thank you for waiting. Your tasks have been assigned. Now, please take the vehicle that matches your walkie-talkie number to the border. We will send your luggage back to your dormitories later. You can pick it up according to your name when you rest!"
"So fast?"
Li Ji raised his eyebrows, pointed to the car next to him, and asked Tian Sheng, "Shall we get in the car first and talk on the way?"
"Okay, let's get on the bus together and see where we end up."
……
The vehicles bumped along the road, and the combined teams of Rhodes Island and Qingfeng drew ever closer to the magnificent city walls of the border.
Along the way, Li Ji and Tian Sheng talked about some issues related to the border, such as whether the depths of the border were engaged in the life-giving calculations he understood, and whether there were any fissures or battlefields outside the border similar to security posts.
Of course, he asked Tiansheng questions in a relatively veiled way, without explaining them too clearly.
After receiving one clearer answer after another.
They also arrived at their destination.
Phase 1: Reaching the border has been completed.
[You are now able to access Phase Two: Defend the Line. Eliminate over 1000 enemy soldiers without allowing any enemy to breach the line.]
[Phase Two Reward: Activate the Agent Command System.]
"Acting commander?"
Li Ji didn't expect that a proxy command could be set up here... What does this mean?
Logically speaking, operators in this world should all be able to activate their own skills... Jian, Ines, and even Blackhorn and Zuo Le who fight crickets on their own, perfectly illustrate this point.
Sometimes, they don't even need Li Ji to give orders; they all know what to do.
Then what's the point of this acting commander?!
"..."
Li Ji was a little speechless, but since it was a reward from Precyth, it should still be of some use, right?
"Could it be...?"
Before Li Ji could think any further, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Hello, this is the security checkpoint. Please hand over your pass documents to us."
A voice came from outside the car window, and Tian Sheng handed his pass to the security guard.
"Qingfeng and Rhodes Island... is that right?"
At the entrance to the passage, soldiers were holding the passes of the two teams and carefully comparing them with the photos on the passes of the team members.
"Excuse me, what area is beyond this side?"
Li Ji pointed ahead in the passage and asked the soldiers who were conducting security checks nearby.
"This is the western pass. Beyond here lies the front line. Hurry up and prepare for battle; it might be your turn to go soon..."
The soldier sighed, as if expressing his regret for both Qingfeng and Rhodes Island teams.
"The previous team has held out for sixteen hours. Now the enemy's strength and numbers have increased significantly. I hope you can hold on as well."
After hearing this, Li Ji and Tian Sheng exchanged a glance.
Especially Tian Sheng, whose smile visibly turned bitter.
The Qingfeng team members behind her began to show signs of difficulty.
They expected to suffer, but they didn't expect it to be this bad!
After confirming that everything was correct, the security guards handed the passes back to Li Ji and let them pass.
At the same time, Li Ji quickly "dialed" another radio in his hand and pretended to speak to the other party on the radio:
"Hey, can you hear me? Have you reached the border yet? Hmm, still not quite there. There aren't enough people in the team right now... Hmm, come over here, it's just over at the western pass."
"Are your teammates coming?"
Tian Sheng watched as Li Ji hung up the radio and asked him curiously.
She was still reeling from the soldier's words, "The previous team has been defending for sixteen hours."
Li Ji's team members are certainly very capable; even just the few of them should be stronger than all of Qing Feng's team combined.
The problem is that the enemies keep spawning endlessly...
This isn't a matter of strength or intensity... it's pure mental torture.
But seeing Li Ji calling for help, Tian Sheng suddenly felt a strange sense of relief...
What's the point?
"Yes, let's go and replace the others first. The people among us can still hold on for a while."
Li Ji stretched his limbs slightly and said to the Rhodes Island operators behind him, "It's alright. You don't usually do many extermination missions, so it won't be your turn. The professionals will be here soon."
If the system can really 'automatically act as a proxy' as he thinks, then Li Ji doesn't seem to have anything to worry about.
……
West District Pass.
"Hang in there! Our team is coming soon, don't let your guard down!"
Apple swung his greatsword with all his might, shouting to those behind him after cutting down the last enemy.
The four teams, totaling 48 people, have been here for almost 17 hours.
Almost everyone is now at their physical and mental limits; the slightest lapse in concentration will cause them to collapse like straw in a wheat field.
The intense fighting left them no time to think about the time; they could only roughly judge how long the battle had lasted by the sun.
"Damn it, why are we so short-staffed?!"
Apple spat on the ground and muttered, "I'll have to see which unlucky bastards are coming here again. This pass in the West District is really no place for humans to guard, with planes and monsters everywhere!"
"You bastard, if I find out who put me here, I'll dig up their ancestral graves and put their ancestors' ashes as offerings in front of other people's graves!"
"Captain, can't you have some manners...?"
A man covered his face and whispered to Apple.
"Why should I have to be polite just because I'm swearing here? When did you become so nosy?!"
"No...it's just that the team coming to relieve you was right behind you, and they heard everything you said!"
"..."
Apple awkwardly turned around and found Li Ji and Tian Sheng standing behind him, one smiling and the other frowning... as if they were cosplaying No-Brainer and Unhappy.
"Sorry, I was just joking earlier. My name is Apple, and I'm the temporary commander here. Are you the team here to relieve the guard?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I would have cursed too. Did you guys just defend against a wave?"
Li Ji waved his hand dismissively and said it didn't matter.
"Yes, the next wave is probably coming soon. For some reason, more and more people are cleaning up the cracks these days, but more and more enemies are also pouring out. Now there is a shortage of people everywhere, and we really can't hold on any longer."
Apple sighed heavily and looked at Li Ji and Tian Sheng, asking, "When will the team behind you arrive? We'll officially change shifts once they get here."
"The team behind?"
Li Ji and Tian Sheng asked at the same time, clearly unaware of this matter.
Seeing their reactions, Apple was also embarrassed and said with a headache, "You guys... you don't just plan to use these few people to guard the area, do you?"
Apple and their group have forty-eight people, while Qingfeng and Rhodes Island combined don't even have twenty people!
That's less than half!
"Currently, we are the only two teams that have been assigned to come. We don't know if any other teams will come to support us."
"Is...were we really that short-staffed now?"
Apple sat down on the ground, her tense muscles seemingly relaxing. "Alright, let's switch shifts first. We'll rest a little over there. If you can't hold on any longer, just call us."
"Our current orders are to switch shifts with you and hold the line. Once we've had a good rest, we'll bring some people into your team."
"We're a team now, we have to stand together through thick and thin!"
Apple still looked sullen and exhausted. He was so tired that his brain could hardly hold anything except rest.
