Chapter 471 Mutation
Li Chenglong used long-distance spatial teleportation to bring Yunlan to their bedroom. Since it was August in the Gregorian calendar, he only used a thin blanket to cover Yunlan from the chest down, and then activated the new ability of the G-gem he had developed at level 13 to heal Yunlan.
At this moment, Song Yixin and Su Qian, who were outside, heard a noise coming from the bedroom. They gently pushed the door open and came in, only to find that Lord Li was actually inside. It seemed that he was treating Miss Yunlan. So they went back out and closed the door.
Yunlan woke up shortly afterward. Thanks to the G-gem, she quickly recovered most of her strength. She rubbed her eyes and realized that it really was her husband who had returned. She was about to get up when Li Chenglong pressed her down, saying, "You should rest first and not get too excited. Leave the rest to me."
Yunlan nodded with tears in her eyes, then called out loudly, "Sister Song, Sister Song, bring Yunxi in so her father can have a good look at her." Song Yixin immediately carried Li Yunxi in and placed her beside Yunlan. Yunlan said with some pride, "Look, this is our daughter. She was born on the 7th of last month, weighing 7 pounds 3 ounces at birth, and she's also a Level 1 S-rank Seven-Colored Peacock Awakener."
Li Chenglong lovingly embraced Li Yunxi, and at the same time patted the head of the little guy Li Yunhao who had just come in, and said to Yunlan, "You've worked hard. I'll take care of everything from now on. You just rest well."
Then Li Yunxi handed it back to Yunlan, stood up and said to Song Yixin and Su Qian, "I just got back and I don't know much about the situation yet. There are some things I need to do quickly, so I'll trouble you two to take good care of Yunlan and Yunhao and Yunxi."
The two immediately replied, "Please rest assured, City Lord, we will do our best." Li Yunhao, the little guy, was already over two years old. He had a strong learning ability and knew a lot. He angrily said to Li Chenglong, "Dad, those hateful black monsters attack our city every few days! Many uncles and aunts have sacrificed their lives! You must teach them a lesson!"
Li Chenglong squatted down, looked earnestly at his robust son, and assured him, "Okay, I promise you, I will drive them all out as soon as possible."
After finishing his family business, Li Chenglong went straight to the central information management department. Wang Xiao, Wang Jie, Qin Mengyao, and Chen Xiaoke were working busily there, while Lilith was also using her abilities to integrate a large amount of data and documents.
Upon seeing Li Chenglong enter, the four women stood up and saluted, saying, "Good morning, Commander!" Li Chenglong gestured for them to continue their work, then stood in front of the large screen and said, "Immediately write a report covering everything from when I left until today, including all aspects of Dawn City and the Dawn Army. I need to know exactly what happened. Also, immediately contact the Dawn Army headquarters and, while the Void Creatures have been eliminated and no reinforcements have arrived, convene a meeting of officers at the regimental and deputy regimental levels and above. The same applies to the Dawn City government offices; after I finish my meeting at headquarters, immediately convene a high-level meeting of Dawn City."
After arranging everything, Li Chenglong went out. Chen Xiaoke said with some lingering fear, "I feel that Brother Li is different this time." Wang Jie shook her head: "No, the city lord isn't different, but he's in a very angry state right now. I can even feel the killing intent emanating from him. Let's get back to work. Now that the city lord is back, all the crises are nothing."
The central computer, Lilith, completed a detailed report and printed it out in less than 20 minutes. Li Chenglong had already arrived at headquarters and was looking at the report written by Lilith. He had left Dawn City on December 10th, and today was August 5th, meaning he had been gone for eight months. However, during these eight months, Dawn City, China, Earth, and even the solar system had undergone tremendous changes.
Just two months after Li Chenglong left, specifically on February 7th, the aliens' Martian base, followed by their lunar base, and then many other places on Earth, were all attacked by void creatures on almost the same day.
Because of the large number of void creatures that came this time, the Mars base and the lunar base were destroyed one after another in less than five hours. The alien alliance suffered heavy losses and had to land on Earth. Among them, the Setan aliens, led by Marina, came to Dawn City.
Although the retreat was timely, the Setan suffered heavy losses. Of the original seven executives, only Marina, Keltilan, and Sitros remain, and the Setan army now has only a little over 4000 men left.
Just as Yunlan was organizing the defense of Dawn City, Princess Sera, Roddick, and Lena, along with other special ambassadors of the Interstellar Alliance, received a message from the Interstellar Alliance headquarters. The Interstellar Alliance headquarters stated that although a vast number of void creatures had been eliminated in the previous operation, Li Chenglong had gone missing. Despite a lengthy search by nearby fleets, they had found nothing.
When Yunlan and the others heard the news, they were initially quite skeptical, because Li Chenglong had disappeared many times before, but always managed to reappear unharmed in front of them.
However, as the attacks from the Void creatures intensified, the situation quickly deteriorated in both China and the entire Earth. By the end of last month, 15 of the 24 large bases in China, including the New Human Empire, had been captured, and only 8 of the 40 medium-sized bases remained.
Besides the losses to the base, many people also perished in the battle against the void creatures, including some of very high-ranking individuals. These included the Azure Dragon Marshal and the Black Tortoise Marshal of the New Human Empire, as well as the Kun, Kan, Zhen, and Gen Protectors, four of the New Human Empire's eight guardians.
On the human side, Liu Zhigang, the first commander of the Northeast Theater Command, Aizimaiti, the first commander of the Northwest Theater Command, Xu Chu and Shangguan Feng of the Central Theater Command, General Sun Tianlong, General Kong Liang, and General Han Baisheng of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Theater Command, and Sun Qingpeng, Gao Shixin, Xu Limin, Xu Fumin, Wei Jing, and others of the Eastern Theater Command all died heroically.
Aside from other areas, Dawn City suffered relatively fewer losses, but many outstanding comrades still sacrificed their lives on the front lines, including Zhao Xin, Minister of City Security; Wang Ming, Principal of the Superpower School; Liu Cheng, Minister of Logistics of the Dawn Army; Liu Xiaoli, Commander of the 3rd Division of the Dawn Army; and Zhu Qian, Commander of the 1st Division of the Dawn Army.
After the Qingshui and Feiyun bases in the east were successively captured, many people there were taken to Dawn City. Later, due to the significant losses suffered by the Dawn Army, the army was reorganized under Yunlan's leadership.
The Dawn Army currently consists of four armies, two of which are fully staffed. In addition to the original two armies, the Dawn Army's 3rd and 4th Armies have been newly established. The 3rd Army is composed of soldiers from the original Feiyun Base and Qingshui Base. The army commander is Xu Qingming, the deputy army commander is Wei Huasheng, the political commissar is Li Desheng, the chief of staff is Zheng Kai, and the director of the political department is Wang Shishi.
The 4th Army was composed of the alien coalition that had come to Dawn City and the warriors originally brought by Cecily and Erica. The army commander was Marina, the deputy commander was Cecily, the political commissar was Qi Guoan, the chief of staff was Lena, and the director of the political department was Song Tie.
Due to the composition of the units, the strongest army in terms of combat power is actually the 4th Army, which is not fully organized, while the weakest is the 3rd Army. The 3rd Army is not only not fully organized, but also has fewer people with superpowers, and it lost a large amount of weapons and equipment during its rapid withdrawal.
When Li Chenglong arrived at the headquarters at 11:00 AM Beijing time, there weren't many people there because he had suddenly called a meeting. However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the headquarters, Zheng Yong, Feng Tian, and the staff were already standing there waiting for him.
Zheng Yong shouted, "Attention! Salute!" All personnel saluted in unison and then said in unison, "Welcome home, Commander!"
Li Chenglong solemnly returned the military salute, and then shook hands with each of them one by one. When he shook hands with Zheng Yong and Feng Tian, he was reluctant to part for a long time.
