Chapter 800 - 31: Battle to Defend the Umbrella Line (Part 1)
Zou Hai was exceedingly busy in the monitor room.
Currently, Gu Castle is in a state of total isolation!
Due to the sudden outbreak of the "Spiritual Poison," there are new "suspected infections" every day being brought into the quarantine area. The available personnel within Gu Castle Fortress are already insufficient... and they’re decreasing even more!
The atmosphere of preparedness within the fortress is unprecedentedly tense.
Quasi-General has isolated himself in the attic study, leaving all the command responsibilities in the monitor room on Zou Hai’s shoulders. He hasn’t closed his eyes for two consecutive days... for a Spiritual Transcendent like him, this would normally be nothing, but every minute, there are new task directives and communication handovers. Gu Castle Fortress is hailed as the "throat of human fate," and the arrival of this great storm will influence the entire North Continent frontline’s fate. Outside the fortress, a large group of Transcendents has already stationed.
However, Lin Lin has issued an order.
Seal the fortress, no entries or exits allowed!
These Transcendents are equipped with legion weapons, source material, and ample supplies, but unfortunately, they can only remain on standby outside the fortress gates...
If the infection rate of the "Spiritual Poison" shows a downward trend, even if not completely all infected areas are sealed, the Gu Castle side might consider opening the gates. But now the infection trend is increasingly severe; once the fortress replenishes its manpower, the "Spiritual Poison" might rapidly spread. By that point, merely accommodating and treating the wounded would overwhelm the fortress.
Currently, Gu Castle.
Is a truly isolated city.
"Mr. Deputy, there’s a call from the Third Legion."
