He knew that at least half of these warriors were only children, and behind them were families.* Yet now, they moved forward with unwavering resolve, unafraid of death! “Good!” Jie Lang shouted loudly, “Everyone listen up, to protect our brothers and sisters, immediately head out to section G545! When you return, I’ll throw you all a celebration!” “Mobilize!” ... Chongzhou, one of the cities in the Shanghai metropolitan cluster. In a hospital in Chongzhou, Director Zhu Yu urgently gathered a group of doctors and medical staff. Among them were experienced experts, heads of departments who had practiced medicine for many years, as well as young nurses involved in clinical care, and even fresh graduates who had just come here for internships. Zhu Yu said solemnly, “Word has come from Shanghai, the Zerg will attack Shanghai within a day! Currently, the frontline is in dire need of medical personnel, so we’re calling for medical staff from nearby cities to go support them.” “You all know, the frontline is extremely dangerous, a slight mistake could cost you your life. But if we don’t go, it will be our soldiers who are injured and sacrificed!” “Therefore, we must go!” “Here, I won’t force anyone. Those willing to go, sign this petition, and if you meet with misfortune on the frontline, the hospital and the nation will handle your aftermath and take care of your family.” “Time is tight, let’s begin!” Though called a petition, it was essentially a life-and-death agreement. After Zhu Yu finished speaking, he was the first to sign his name on the “life-and-death agreement.” The head of surgery, without hesitation, signed his name second. Subsequently, some doctors and nurses, even if they hesitated in their hearts, still signed their names. Only the last two young nurses remained. The head stopped them, saying, “Hu Juan, Bai Xue, you two don’t need to go. You just graduated, it’s better you stay at the hospital.” They had actually graduated early from medical university due to the urgent need for medical staff, with a large number of students being expedited from medical school. “No, I want to go!” Hu Juan took the life-and-death agreement, saying, “If everyone else can go, why can’t I? Isn’t there a Great Wall of steel? We’ll be very safe inside it!” “If Hu Juan can go, so can I!” Bai Xue said, “It’s my first time, and I get to do something so meaningful. Others want to go but don’t have the chance!” They spoke lightly, but the director and the heads could see, they still could not hide their emotions. *The fear and unease in their hearts were written on their faces.* After they signed the life-and-death agreement, seeing everyone with heavy expressions, Hu Juan laughed, saying, “We’re about to set out, everyone cheer up, how about we take a picture?” “Great idea! I also want to post it on social media!” Bai Xue laughed, picking up a marker, saying, “I’ll write something on your clothes to make it look more solemn!” As she spoke, she first wrote four big characters “Protect Shanghai” on Hu Juan’s clothes! Seeing them trying hard to appear optimistic, Director Zhu Yu laughed, saying, “Write one for me too!” “Come, I want one too!” “What are you writing, how can you leave me out?” came an elderly voice, as an eighty-year-old man slowly walked over. Seeing him, Zhu Yu was surprised, exclaiming, “Elder Xia, why are you here? You’ve already retired, enjoy your peace at home!” His name was Xia Wenbin, once one of the legendary surgeons, now retired due to his age. Xia Wenbin scolded, “Xiao Zhu, such an important matter, and you didn’t notify me! Though retired, my mind is still clear, and my hands can still hold a scalpel! You’re going to the frontline for support, and without me guarding, will it work?” “Bring me one of those petitions!” Xia Wenbin shouted. “Director, this...” the head hesitated. Seeing this, Xia Wenbin took a petition himself, signing it while scolding, “Quit dawdling! Hurry and set off!” ... In the central transport hub. “Shanghai is about to go to war, urgently requisition supplies!” shouted warehouse manager Wang Chang, “Convoy must set out now to deliver supplies to the front line!” “Who wants to go? This delivery pays ten times!” he yelled at a group of delivery drivers. “I’ll do it!” a driver stood up, saying, “I signed up as a volunteer long ago, I don’t need any delivery fees!” Saying this, he directly got into the vehicle to load at the warehouse. “Honey, we’re volunteers too!” Husband-and-wife team Chen Ping and Wu Li were discussing. “I’ll go, you don’t need to!” Chen Ping stood up, saying, “Delivering on the frontline is dangerous, we have the elderly and children to care for at home! At least one of us must stay!” “I...” Wu Li wanted to say something, but Chen Ping had already decided, saying, “Listen to me, I’ll go! You stay!” Wu Li’s lips moved a few times, and finally, she said, “Alright then, be careful on the road!” “Don’t worry, I’m driving a heavy truck, if I encounter any Mutant Creatures, I’ll just run them over!” Chen Ping said, patting his chest. With that, he went to register with the warehouse manager, soon heading to the warehouse to load up. Watching from behind until Chen Ping’s heavy truck drove out of the logistics center, Wu Li then approached the warehouse manager, saying, “Boss Wang, I want to go too!” Wang Chang asked puzzled, “Didn’t your husband just leave? He said you should stay behind, not to go on this trip!” “I know,” Wu Li said, “but I’m also a volunteer and a delivery driver. Right now we lack people, how can I not go?” “Your family has both the elderly and young ones. It’s better if you stay, I’ll find someone else!” Wang Chang advised. “I’ve already made up my mind!” Wu Li said, “The children are already sent to their uncle’s place, and the elderly will be cared for.” “Besides, we’re delivering from the rear, not fighting the Zerg.” “That’s it, I’m driving off. Oh, and don’t tell my husband!” she emphasized. Wang Chang hesitated for several seconds, nodding, “Alright, remember, be safe on the road!” ... On the streets of Shanghai, there were two streams of moving traffic and people. One was the evacuating crowd, carrying their living supplies, evacuating to shelters in the safety zones. The other was soldiers entering Shanghai, as well as medical personnel, logistics staff, and others. “Mom, why are they going the opposite direction?” a young boy asked curiously in the evacuating group. His mother glanced at those moving backward, fully aware the front was a battlefield, with the man-eating Zerg about to attack, yet they pressed on towards the frontline without hesitation. She gently stroked her son’s head, saying, “Because they are the ones going in reverse, the heroes defending us and this country! They are the vanguards rushing to the battlefield!” “Without them, we would be devoured by the creatures!” The young boy half-understood, saying, “Are heroes very powerful?” “Very powerful!” “Then I want to be a hero too!” “Yes, yes.” At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, “A nation cannot be without heroes, a country must have vanguards!” “Salute to you, reverse marchers!” His words ignited the evacuating crowd, who began to shout one after another, “Salute to you, reverse marchers!” “Wishing you a safe journey!” “Please return safely!” “We’ll wait for your reunion!” Waves of voices echoed across the city, with those moving in reverse turning back, tears welling up in their eyes. They wiped their tears and continued on. Up ahead, the magnificent Great Wall of steel was about to come into view! Beyond the Great Wall of steel, countless Mutant Creatures could already be seen. They lurked in the ocean, hid in the mud, menacingly watching at the coastline and the Yangtze River estuary. Their terrifying appearance alone was enough to inspire fear. They seemed to be waiting for one command, to break through this life’s barrier! To extend their claws to the vast lands of Shen Zhou and its 1.4 billion Huaxia people! The reverse marchers declared in their hearts: “To defend Shanghai, we are here!”
