257: I order you to evacuate.

"Commander, they're cannibalizing their own kind." Qin Lu looked at the scene, feeling her scalp tingle.

"I see it. They are evolving rapidly."

"We must find a way to stop them." Qin Lu looked at the frenzied zombies around her, a sense of unease in her heart. If these zombies continued to evolve, the defensive line would surely not hold.

Li Feng quickly interjected, "Stop what? Don't go out."

An hour later, the zombies' bodies mutated at a visible speed, with their strength and defense rapidly increasing. More and more zombies fell to the ground, and the thick smell of blood could be detected from hundreds of meters away. The gun barrels of the three firing points were directly red-hot.

The personnel participating in the training were only carrying light weapons, which had very limited power. Who knew that Instructor Tian Ming would have them directly participate in combat?

On the public channel, Li Feng called out somewhat wearily, "Instructor, I'm afraid we can't stop them now. These zombies are gathering more and more, attracted by the smell of blood. We don't have heavy weapons, and now we can't even escape."

"I don't care. The time I set is ten days, and you haven't even gotten a single Red Crystal Core yet. You need to work harder. You have to figure things out yourselves, understand?"

On the channel, someone grumbled, "Instructor, you're so powerful, why don't you join the fight?"

"Join the fight? Why should I join the fight? Sacrifice myself for the benefit of thousands of families? The crisis of humanity requires everyone's collective effort. As for me, I'm just watching the show." Tian Ming smiled calmly and said slowly.

There was a moment of silence in the channel as everyone processed Tian Ming's words. They understood that the Instructor's intention was for them to find their own solutions, rather than simply relying on his power.

Everyone tried their best to interpret Tian Ming's intentions with good will, but Tian Ming actually didn't have so many hidden meanings in his heart. It was purely the literal meaning.

However, with Tian Ming present, the Corpse King was slow to appear, and only low-level zombies continuously surged forward to their deaths. This phenomenon continued until nightfall.

The zombies of Beidu formed a huge encirclement in this area, and soon, Tian Ming received a call request from the Alliance Base's combat center.

"Instructor Tian Ming, I am Commander Bai Yan of the Super Legion. We have seen on the Beidu ground real-time transmission that the training personnel have been surrounded by zombies. Why are you using this method of training, causing zombie riots and casualties?" There was a hint of questioning in Bai Yan's tone.

"Commander Bai Yan, I can freely choose the training method; this has been authorized by the Alliance Base. As for the zombie riot in Beidu, don't worry, it won't cause any major trouble."

Tian Ming's tone was also not good; anyone could question him, so naturally, he wouldn't give the other party any good attitude.

"Instructor Tian Ming, please correct your speaking attitude. I am your superior. I order you to immediately lead the trainees back to the training ground. If there are any casualties, you will be dealt with by military law." There was a hint of chill in Bai Yan's voice.

Tian Ming frowned slightly, "What did you say? You want to deal with me by military law?"

No one could punish Tian Ming; was this Bai Yan out of his mind? Why would he come to him looking for trouble? This person actually dared to threaten him, which made him very displeased.

Bai Yan emphasized again, "Instructor Tian Ming, I order you to immediately lead the trainees to evacuate. Our energy field detection has discovered a large number of high-level Corpse Kings gathering towards your location. If significant casualties are caused, you will bear an undeniable responsibility."

"Share the detection data!"

Tian Ming's brows were tightly furrowed. His detection range was not enough to cover a large area. He had to see the specific situation before he could make a correct judgment.

In the airspace of Beidu, energy field high-altitude detectors were stationed twenty-four hours a day, and the distribution of zombies was under the Alliance Base's monitoring.

Soon, Bai Yan shared the detection data with Tian Ming. The map was densely covered in blood red, and Tian Ming was startled. It seemed like he had stirred up a zombie nest; how did so many zombies suddenly appear?

Bai Yan's voice came through the earpiece, "Instructor Tian Ming, I have already planned an evacuation route for you. Please evacuate immediately according to the relevant route."

Tian Ming looked at the map in front of him, his face ashen. He had originally only wanted to give the trainees a chance for actual combat, to let them experience the horror of zombies, and thereby improve their combat abilities. He never expected to attract so many zombies.

"Instructor, what should we do now?" Qin Lu's voice sounded in the earpiece, with a hint of panic. She had also seen the red dots on the map and knew how dangerous their current situation was.

Tian Ming was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll talk about it when I get down."

Tian Ming appeared within the defensive line, and a dozen Nitrogen Bombs were shot into various areas of the defensive line, exploding with a roar hundreds of meters away.

Boom boom boom!

The explosions were deafening, and the outer perimeter of the defensive line instantly became chaotic. The shockwaves from the explosions made the surrounding buildings shake, and fragments and smoke filled the air, making it feel suffocating.

The previously intense battlefield immediately quieted down. Tian Ming's move was almost the limit for these trainees.

"I will clear a path for you to the training ground. You can return to the Alliance Base through the subway tunnel. However, personnel who return to the Base also signify the end of this training session."

Everyone remained silent, especially the personnel producing ammunition; their mental energy was over-expended, and their expressions were extremely tired. The high-intensity combat had lasted for more than five hours, and these First-Class Ability Users all had some fatigue on their faces.

At this moment, a zombie howled and stood up from the explosion's rubble. Before it could even stand steadily, there was a whoosh.

A tungsten steel ball formed out of thin air, whistling through the air as it shot towards the zombie. The zombie's head was hit, and its entire head directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

The Instructor is truly too strong, everyone thought. But they also understood that choosing to retreat now would also mean the end of this training session.

"Is there anyone who wants to evacuate? Those who wish to evacuate can go to the training ground now, and I guarantee your safety," Tian Ming asked again.

Li Feng glanced at Qin Lu, who slightly shook her head.

"Instructor, the First Combat Squad chooses to stay and continue fighting."

With Li Feng taking the lead, the remaining four combat squads also expressed their intentions.

"Instructor, we're not leaving either."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Tian Ming's eyes. He slowly said, "Good. Now the situation has changed. All the Corpse Kings in Beidu are rushing here. I cannot guarantee your safety. If you regret it now, it's still not too late."

"Instructor, isn't our duty to deal with zombies and protect human survivors? If we were afraid of death, we wouldn't have chosen to participate in the training. Only by gaining your approval can we truly join the Super Legion."
