Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1659: The Crisis of National Destruction

The war in Shengjing City had finally ended.

Everyone watching from the Command Center finally let out a sigh of relief. They collapsed into their chairs as if a great weight had been lifted, every one of them drenched in sweat, as though they had just been through a sauna.

They knew all too well how dangerous that battle had just been.

If Houtu had been defeated, then the entire Shengjing City, everyone in it, would most likely have been slaughtered!

Meng Yuanjun lay back in his chair, his gaze drifting somewhat hazily toward the sky.

He thought back to Qin Qigong, who had exiled himself to Ning City. A bitter smile unconsciously tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"So this is the trouble of being the Supreme Commander of the Shengjing district that you spoke of? Sure enough, this position is not an easy one to hold!"

At every hour of every day, one had to worry about the safety of the entire Shengjing City and even the whole Huaxu Nation. It truly was mentally and physically exhausting.

An official under his command walked over and asked Meng Yuanjun for instructions: "Commander Meng, we have successfully repelled the foreign enemy. Should we now issue a notice to the other major regions, telling them to heighten their alert? Also, should we begin reorganizing Shengjing City?"

Meng Yuanjun raised his head, thought for a moment, and said: "With something this big happening here, we certainly need to notify everyone!"

"However, right now I need to go in person to pay my respects to our Guardian Goddess."

He stood up, took the overcoat from his secretary's hands and draped it over his shoulders, issuing orders as he walked out.

"Half an hour from now, have all the high-ranking officials from the six major regions assemble. Convene a meeting!"

"We can now confirm that the mysterious race beneath Mist Valley will very soon launch another attack!"

...

Not long after, Shang Daowen returned to Shengjing City, bringing the severely wounded and near-death Zong Yue with him.

The fact that Zong Yue had not been killed was entirely a matter of luck.

It was because the enemy could not be certain whether, after killing Zong Yue, some Transcendent with a special ability in Shengjing City might discover it, causing their diversionary tactic to fail.

And in the eyes of both Youying and Destruction Hall, a mere White Chariot-level Transcendent with 17,500 points posed no real threat.

The moment Shang Daowen returned, he immediately handed Zong Yue over to the medical units, then rushed without pause to find Guan Longyue.

After seeing that Guan Longyue was safe and sound, he let out a long breath of relief.

"Sure enough, just as we expected, those bastards are incredibly cunning!"

At this point, he smiled with relief: "But thankfully, you were here."

Guan Longyue, however, said: "Don't celebrate too early. I can sense that the real war is about to arrive very soon!"

"You're right. The troublesome matters are still ahead of us!"

Meng Yuanjun's voice came from the side.

Shang Daowen gave him a slight nod: "Commander Meng, what's the casualty situation in the city?"

Meng Yuanjun spread his hands helplessly: "Need you even ask? The enemy sent out two Black Chariot-tier Transcendents. Naturally, our casualties were heavy."

He spoke of an extremely brutal reality in an incomparably light tone.

Shang Daowen quietly clenched his fists, but in the end, it turned into an imperceptible sigh.

This was war between civilizations, brutal beyond measure. No one cared about the lives of the other race.

Meng Yuanjun said to the two of them: "Since everyone is here, come with me to attend the special meeting of the Huaxu Nation!"

The meeting was already prepared, waiting only for Shang Daowen's arrival to immediately connect with the other major regions.

By the time Zhang Yi received the news, the war was already over.

Because from beginning to end, the Shengjing district had never requested help from the other major regions. They had only issued a warning signal.

After all, as the number one major region of the Huaxu Nation, if even they needed to ask the other major regions for help, then the situation would truly be dire.

Besides, at present, every major region had its own risk of being attacked. Requesting them to send their top Transcendents on a journey of thousands of miles to provide support was simply impossible.

The attack on the Shengjing district did come as somewhat of a surprise to Zhang Yi.

He appeared at the meeting, a slight frown on his face, listening very carefully to Meng Yuanjun's report.

"Everyone," Meng Yuanjun's gaze swept seriously over the representatives of each major region, "just a moment ago, our Shengjing district was also attacked! The enemy can be confirmed to have come from Mist Valley, and it was two Black Chariot-tier Transcendents striking simultaneously."

"This caused tremendous damage to our Shengjing district. However, please rest assured, everyone. As the pillar of the Huaxu Nation, we perfectly resolved this crisis and annihilated the invading enemy!"

When he said this, Meng Yuanjun deliberately raised his voice.

Sure enough, upon hearing that the Shengjing district had annihilated two Black Chariot-tier Transcendents, everyone's expression changed.

Li Changgong, that proud fellow, also lowered his head and murmured: "So this is the foundation of the Shengjing district?"

One had to know that back then, they had only barely managed to fend off the assault from the Mist Valley forces.

If not for the enemy's last-minute retreat for a special reason, the final outcome would have been very difficult to say.

Xuanwu, Meng Yingchuan, stroked his chin and said: "The strength of the Shengjing district is indeed worthy of trust."

The victory in this battle was like a shot in the arm for all the major regions of the Huaxu Nation.

It made them understand that the underground mysterious civilization of Mist Valley was not invincible either!

Meng Yuanjun did not describe the specific details of the battle, but Zhang Yi was silently calculating in his heart.

"The Shengjing district has three Epsilon-class. If they surrounded and killed them, there would indeed be a chance to kill two Black Chariot-tier Transcendents. It's just a pity that I still don't know Shang Daowen's detailed abilities. Even Guan Longyue seems to be veiled in a layer of mist, impossible to see through."

Meng Yuanjun's voice continued, deep and penetrating.

"Everyone, the purpose of this meeting is to warn you! The real war will begin very soon!"

"The surprise attack on the Shengjing district was merely the prelude to the coming war. Therefore, all major regions must strengthen their vigilance! Moreover, we must now set aside our selfish concerns and cooperate fully. Otherwise..."

He pushed up his glasses, his gaze cold as it swept across everyone present.

"Perhaps the entire Huaxu Nation will march toward destruction in this unprecedented great war!"

These words sent a shock through everyone's hearts.

National destruction and racial extinction?

Had the situation already become this critical?

Yes, it had indeed reached such a point.

One only needed to think for a moment to realize what kind of terrifying force they were facing.

Li Guangxiao, the Supreme Commander of the East China Sea Major Region, raised his hand directly at this moment, his tone hard as steel: "The East China Sea Major Region will fully cooperate with the Shengjing district's command in the upcoming operations!"

Everyone was stunned by Li Guangxiao's words.

A regional Supreme Commander was voluntarily relinquishing his own command authority?

Li Guangxiao had his own reasoning. He said: "If we want to win this war, we must unite. That means there must be a single brain! We cannot each fight our own battles. Therefore, I choose to trust the Shengjing district."
