It’s only a matter of time before the Zerg gene pollution affects land creatures. Besides, even if we can hold out, can other countries? When the Zergs launch a massive invasion, there won’t be a safe place anywhere in the world. As a man, if I don’t go, should I let my wife and children face those monsters?” Tian Yuqin looked up, her eyes red, hugged him, and said, “I understand all the reasoning, but I can’t bear to part with you!” “Don’t worry,” Huang Sheng reassured her, “technology is so advanced now, our equipment has all been upgraded, it won’t be that dangerous!” “I’ve been lucky! When I was a kid and fell into the water, I was rescued!” “If I stop you, does that mean I’m being unreasonable?” Tian Yuqin asked. “No, it means our bond is strong,” Huang Sheng said. Tian Yuqin whispered, “Husband, I won’t stop you. I know that a country must have people stand up. I just hope you can take care of yourself, I’ll wait for your safe return!” ... “Brother, I also want to join the army!” He Xingzhou received a call from He Mengyao, “Mom and Dad definitely won’t agree, but you’ll support me, right?” He Xingzhou said helplessly, “You haven’t even finished school, focus on your studies first.” “I’m graduating next year!” He Mengyao said, “And I’m studying artificial intelligence technology, I can definitely help.” “You can join the army, but you’ll need to wait a bit,” He Xingzhou said. He didn’t refuse because he knew this was inevitable. It was only a matter of time before the Zergs took over the world, and the need for thirty million recruits was only the current demand. If the battle later expanded globally, an entire nation of soldiers wasn’t impossible. His sister was a research talent and could work at the military Academy of Sciences as well. “Okay, I’ll wait for your news!” He Mengyao said happily. ... The next day, early in the morning, recruitment portals online and recruitment points in cities all opened. In a northern city. At one recruitment point, the responsible personnel hadn’t even arrived, only to find two long lines already formed there. There were men and women, some looking quite young, barely adults; there were also grizzled men with weathered faces, and even some women standing in line. They were orderly, without any chaos or noise, all waiting. Several jeeps arrived, delivering the recruiting personnel. “So many people?” They were taken aback, seeing the line snaking around several bends! A passing aunt asked, “Young man, what are you all lined up for here? Are they giving out eggs here?” She seemed tempted and wanted to line up too. “We’re here to enlist in the army, this is the registration point!” they replied. “Enlisting in the army?” The aunt, hearing the term, respectfully said, “You’re all good boys and girls.” “Have you had breakfast? Come on, eat these!” She handed them the breakfast she had just bought for her grandson. “Auntie, we...” The young man started to decline, but the aunt had already left, saying, “With so many people, I’ll call several breakfast vendors over. Auntie will treat you to free breakfast today!” “Please fill out the registration forms first, then come here for health checks!” By this time, the staff at the registration point were ready, calling out with a loudspeaker. “Come one at a time!” One by one, the applicants entered the building. This time, the health check requirements weren’t as stringent as before since thirty million people were needed, and not everyone could be robust. Training could happen after joining the army. Moreover, with advanced technology, various auxiliary equipment like AI tactical glasses and mechanical exoskeletons could give ordinary soldiers capabilities beyond the body’s limits! Similar scenes occurred nationwide. In the online registration portals, the number of registrants kept increasing. Ten minutes after the portal opened, the number of registrants exceeded one million! Everyone wanting to register had to go through identity verification, meaning these were all verified individuals! By noon, the online registrants exceeded five million! This number astonished the Xuanwu Executive Officers, five million in twelve hours; this wasn’t about selling smart products or launching new games! This was about sending people to the battlefield, facing terrifying alien creatures! It was incredible to have so many registrants, truly a miracle! In the following days, the whole country continued to enlist to defend against the Zerg. On the seventh day, exactly one week later, the backend data showed that thirty million had passed the initial screening! They would go through basic training and assessments next, eliminating some and supplementing others, but those were future matters. Now, thirty million were already recruited! He Xingzhou posted on social media: “Thank you all for your enthusiastic participation. We have now reached the quota of thirty million and are temporarily stopping recruitment. Those not yet enlisted can choose to sign up for the reserve camp, where they can join the official camp anytime.” “An inch of mountain, an inch of blood, one hundred thousand youths, one hundred thousand soldiers! Now we have thirty million passionate youths, comrades, let’s stand together to resist the Zerg and defend our vast lands!” Seeing his words, people were excited: “It was filled so quickly! That’s amazing!” “I registered too! @Planet Builder, I’m a ten-year fan, can I request a mechanical exoskeleton?” “Well done, now that’s a youth of Shen Zhou!” “Even though I can’t go to the battlefield, I’m willing to donate one hundred thousand yuan!” “I’ll be of age next year, I’ll register next year!” “Buddha bless, wishing you all safety!” ... Shen Zhou announced the recruitment of thirty million people and completed the task ahead of schedule, taking just a week, making the whole world look at them with newfound respect! “Thirty million in just one week? This is truly a miracle!” “Why do they all want to go, aren’t they afraid of the Zerg?” “I previously said they wouldn’t fill the quota. Now I must admit, I was wrong. Maybe I had major misunderstandings about them. This country is incredible!” “We’re also recruiting here, offering money for enrollment, yet few are signing up.” “In contrast, we’re in chaos, with Zerg attacks happening daily. I’ve decided to go to Shen Zhou, it’s the safest place in the world right now!” ... Even the higher-ups were alarmed; not just in Shen Zhou, as the whole world was expanding its forces to combat the Zerg, but no place was as extreme as recruiting thirty million at once! Even Sakura and Korea, recently attacked by the Zerg, had to adopt compulsory measures, mandating corresponding personnel to report. ... He Xingzhou was once again fully committed to nuclear battery research. During this time, the number of discovered nests worldwide continued to grow, now exceeding ten! And these insects began attacking various areas, with many places suffering assaults. Areas with strong military forces could resist, but weaker regions faced severe losses, with some small islands even declaring plans to relocate their entire populations. In response to this crisis facing all of humanity, regions worldwide announced the formation of a new organization, the Blue Star Human Defense Alliance, abbreviated as the Blue Star Alliance. Everywhere, they were eager to join the Blue Star Alliance, as it was clear that facing the end of the world, not joining such an organization meant a dead end. The Blue Star Alliance would share information about the Zerg, with support and aid among members. Alliance affairs were decided by commanders at various levels, divided into three levels. Level 3 Commanders decided local matters, Level 2 Commanders could mobilize resources from nearby regions, while Level 1 Commanders participated in global defense deployments, of which there were very few. The Xuanwu Executive Officers were all Level 1 Commanders, including He Xingzhou. The Blue Star Alliance had just formed when it was faced with a major event. Intelligence showed that a research organization discovered what appeared to be a land nest on an uninhabited volcano in the Pacific Ocean! This nest was well-hidden, located at the bottom of the volcano’s crater. Since the area was uninhabited and had no research value, it had gone unnoticed. It was only discovered due to the global survey of the Zergs. Its appearance alarmed the Blue Star Alliance! With land nests appearing, wouldn’t there be many land Zergs directly threatening humanity? Especially for countries around the Pacific Ocean, including Shen Zhou, this matter was of utmost concern!
