Doomsday Mecha: I am the Chosen One

Both the villagers and the soldiers were stunned by the scene in front of them, but they could also vaguely guess the identity of the person in front of them.

“Everyone has it!”

"Stand at attention and salute!"

As Liu Shuan shouted, everyone began to salute in unison. The two soldiers escorting Hu Xu quickly let go, took a few steps back, and joined the salute.

Upon seeing this, Hu Xu calmly walked up to Liu Shuan, and with a bang, Liu Shuan was slapped right next to Liu Hao.

Touching his hot cheeks, without any hesitation, he immediately got up and continued to stand at attention.

"This slap will not restrain your subordinates. Do you have any objections?"

At this time, Liu Shuan was almost frightened, so he still had an opinion.

"Sir, no."

Liu Hao, who was on the ground, was frightened by this report to the commander. He came to his senses with wide eyes, quickly got up, and stood there without saying a word.

"Since you have admitted your guilt, then you should be punished together with him," Hu Xu shouted: "Everyone will stand here all night."

Walking to the signal soldier, Hu Xu said softly: "Go and call the people on duty here, and contact the headquarters by the way to confirm my identity, so that you can rest assured."

After saying that, he left without looking back, and the signal soldier also ran outside at full speed.

After Hu Xu and the others left, the surrounding soldiers seemed to be still, with only the torches in their hands whistling back and forth in the night wind.

Looking at the horrifying scene in front of them, the villagers continued to discuss.

"Uh...these soldiers really haven't moved."

"Of course. Didn't you listen to what the officer said, asking them to stay here all night?"

"It's quite cold outside at night. We're not soldiers, so we shouldn't need to accompany you here..."

The villagers began to leave cautiously. In an instant, only these soldiers were left in the huge alleyway.

Not long after, five soldiers on duty arrived. Seeing that no one on the field made a sound, and their captain was just standing, they found a place to join the ranks.

Under the cover of night, the surrounding temperature drops, and the only thing that provides illumination and temperature is nothing more than a few torches in the hand.

Under the weak light of the torch, the signal soldier hurried over, leaned into Liu Shuan's ear, and said tremblingly:

"I checked... I found out that he is indeed the squadron leader... and he is a three-star."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuan raised his head instantly and looked in the direction where Hu Xu left with confused eyes. He was secretly glad that he had not taken action just now, thus avoiding falling into the abyss.

Liu Shuan took a deep breath and glanced at Liu Hao beside him, indicating that the worst outcome had happened.

At the invitation of Aunt Liu, Yi Jiahao and his group stayed temporarily at Xiaoya's home. The girl slept on the second floor, while Yi Jiahao and his two men slept on the first floor.

After finishing everything and preparing to go to bed, it was three o'clock in the morning. Although the rooster had already crowd, it had no impact on the few people.

One night passed in a blink of an eye, but for the soldiers standing outside, it was an extremely long night. This night was a double test of mental and physical strength.

The fear of these soldiers is engraved in the bones of the surrounding villagers. Even though it is already eight or nine o'clock in the morning, who dares to come here to watch the "Living King of Hell"? Even those who need to pass by here choose to take a detour.

It wasn't until Shangguan Lan, who was sending his sister back, passed by that the deadlock was broken.

Since he was playing outside with his sister, he was not wearing a military uniform, but was wearing very ordinary casual clothes.

When passing the checkpoint, Shangguan Lan felt very strange. In the past, these soldiers would come over and salute when they were far away, but today they didn't even see them. Could it be that something happened?

Along the way, no other strange phenomena were discovered. Just when Shangguan Lan was confused, Shangguan Mengxin shouted in surprise:

"Brother, look ahead, there seem to be many soldiers there!"

Following the sound, there was a group of soldiers standing not far away.

What happened? Why are there so many soldiers there?

The two of them sped up their pace and arrived soon.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shangguan Lan was a little confused. There was no accident or anyone else in front of him, but everyone just stood there without saying a word.

Looking around, he soon found an acquaintance, that person was Liu Shuan.

After a night of torture and being unable to move, they did not recognize Shangguan Lan in casual clothes at all.

"What's going on with you guys? What are you doing here collectively?"

Liu Shuan heard the sound and looked over, his eyes flashing with golden light for a moment, as if he saw hope.

After a while, Liu Shuan wriggled his dry lips and managed to say in a hoarse voice that could barely make a sound:

"He just came...he was ordered by the squadron leader."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lan immediately understood. After all, the number of squadron leaders in the city defense force was small, and they were still new. Apart from Yi Jiahao, he really couldn't think of any other candidates.

"I understand. You guys should rest first. I'll go talk to them."

Shangguan Lan's voice was not loud, but it resounded in the ears of all the soldiers on the field. They looked at their boss with joy, waiting for the order.

Liu Shuan thought for a while and replied unexpectedly:

"Captain Shangguan, you're not wearing a military uniform today, so you'd better not wade into this muddy water, and... there's a three-star squadron over there..."

As soon as he said these words, the gazes around him dimmed instantly. His body was already working hard and his feet were shaking so much that he could only hold on.

Why didn't Liu Shuan want to rest at this time?

But based on many years of flattery experience, he knew very well that he must not disobey orders at this final stage and instead carry out the instructions of other officers. In this way, he would have completely offended the officer. This was because he was afraid of flattery.

This is not allowed in life.

When Shangguan Lan saw this, he didn't feel like saying anything else. He asked a villager for directions and then walked in the direction of Aunt Liu's family.

As soon as he arrived in front of the house, he saw a pool of blood on the ground. Shangguan Lan was heartbroken and knocked on the door with a frown. It could be seen that a lot of things had happened during this period.

Boom, boom, boom

The door opened after a while, and Xiaoya stuck her head out, but she didn't recognize Shangguan Lan. She didn't realize it until Shangguan Mengxin jumped out.

"Mengxin, you are back, please come in."

Under the invitation, the two came to the house.

"Come, you guys sit here," Xiaoya said, then continued to work on breakfast, leaving Aunt Liu sitting around the table with them.

Aunt Liu quickly poured tea for the two of them. She was no stranger to Shangguan Lan. After all, he was the only one who was afraid of this group of soldiers, and he had always helped the village a lot.

When he noticed the gauze on Aunt Liu's head and thought of the blood stains outside the door, Shangguan Lan already had the answer in his mind.
