Chapter 148 Unknown Hero

The southern wall of the fortress town had long been demolished, and the plant servants that had been planted in the center of the square had also been taken away by Xiao Jian.

So now it has become a huge square with a very wide view - you can even see the fog in the distance at a glance.

"Is this direction the direction of South Five Fortress?" Xiao Jian suddenly asked.

"Ah...ah, yes." Zhang Weidong didn't expect Xiao Jian to ask such a question, and was stunned for a moment before answering.

After all, Xiao Jian had informed them of the situation there before, so Zhang Weidong knew very well that the Fifth South Fortress had completely disappeared.

After hearing Xiao Jian's question, Zhang Weidong couldn't help but sigh and said nothing.

Xiao Jian stood here, silently looking in the direction of the South Fifth Fortress, and then activated the characteristic he got at the South Fifth Fortress: [Heroic Spirit].

He learned from Zhang Weidong that when some fragments of the world are completely shattered, some people often awaken directly.

The so-called awakening, of course, means acquiring certain characteristics.

Xiao Jian is no exception.

When the Nanwu Fortress was destroyed, he received the last gift from the Nanwu Fortress.

This [Heroic Spirit] characteristic is one of them. Although he still doesn't know the effect of summoning "friendly Heroic Spirits", there are some things he wants to ask those Heroic Spirits for their opinions.

There was no need to recite a spell or establish a belief link. The moment Xiao Jian activated his characteristics, a soul burning with flames appeared in front of him out of thin air.

This heroic spirit is a man in his 30s, with a medium build, neither tall and powerful nor thin.

There is a bright cross scar on his face. This scar not only does not destroy his handsomeness, but adds a bit of vicissitudes and perseverance.

There was a contented smile on the corner of the heroic spirit's mouth, as if he had turned a blind eye to everything in the world, leaving only inner peace and contentment.

"I'm going to build a monument here...can I ask your names?" Xiao Jian asked.

Ying Ling smiled and shook his head, but did not answer Xiao Jian's question.

His eyes turned to Zhang Weidong, a trace of familiarity and kindness flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Weidong frowned and looked at this heroic spirit, as if he was trying to remember something.

Then, his brows widened, with a look of surprise and joy on his face: "Old Xu...? Are you... getting younger? Damn you were so handsome when you were young! I'm jealous..."

Ying Ling smiled even more happily. He stepped forward and patted Zhang Weidong's shoulder gently. He pointed his finger in the direction of Fortress Town and drew a circle, then gave a thumbs up.

Zhang Weidong looked at Ying Ling's movements and expressions and seemed to understand what he meant. He shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "Zan Zan! I'm a fucking waste..."

However, the heroic spirit shook his head with a smile, then pointed in the direction of the fortress town and then extended it slightly back, obviously referring to the other fragments of the world behind the fortress town, and gave a firm thumbs up again.

Zhang Weidong looked at Ying Ling's firm eyes and gestures of praise, and didn't say much. He just smiled bitterly and said, "Compared to you, I am nothing."

The heroic spirit's smile gradually faded, and he slowly raised his right hand and saluted Zhang Weidong solemnly.

Then the heroic spirit didn't look at him again, just turned back and nodded to Xiao Jian, and disappeared on the spot.

"...You stupid bastard, you made me cry."

At some point, Zhang Weidong's face burst into tears, and water droplets fell to the ground in clusters, splashing a bit of dust.

Xiao Jian stood aside and accompanied him silently without speaking or disturbing him.

At this time, any comfort is superfluous. The best choice is to let Zhang Weidong sort out his emotions slowly.

After a while, Zhang Weidong finally wiped away his tears and turned around with red eyes.

He tried to pretend not to care: "Just now you said... you want to build a monument?"

"I have such an idea...do you know their names?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Know."

Zhang Weidong suddenly turned his back, but Xiao Jian saw more tears gathering on his chin like a river.

"They are called...unsung heroes."

Xiao Jian also fell silent after hearing this answer.

Unsung hero...

How many martyrs gave everything, including their own lives, but their names will never be known.

The two of them just stood there without speaking.

After a while, Xiao Jian calmed down, took out the gray rock resource card and placed it solemnly on the ground.

"Long..."

Following a deep sound, a square monument dozens of meters high slowly rose.

This monument has no unnecessary decorations or any reliefs. All it has is a single line of large characters:

Monument to the Unknown Soldier at South Five Fortress.

Below this line of large characters, Xiao Jian boldly wrote three lines of small characters:

To fearless courage

To the fiery soul

May the fire of mankind last forever

After doing all this, Xiao Jian finally settled one thing on his mind.

"Thank you." Zhang Weidong said suddenly.

"It should be." Xiao Jian also looked at him seriously.

The two men, one old and one young, looked at each other, but they were not embarrassed at all.

It can be said that until this moment, the two people have truly established unreserved trust.

Whether in modern society or in this apocalypse, the word trust is always very luxurious but extremely scarce.

It is extremely difficult for two people who are not direct blood relatives to establish true trust... unless they have a common belief.

"... Let's go, there is still a lot to do." Xiao Jian took out a large stack of servant cards.

"Yes."

"What kind of fortifications do you think can bring out the firepower of these servants, and also minimize accidental injuries?" Xiao Jian asked.

"If you don't mind, I want to know the attack range and attack method of these... servants?" Zhang Weidong asked.

"Like this..."

Xiao Jian pulled him to squat, then found a sharp stone and started writing on the ground.

"This kind of servant attacks in a straight line, and the attack distance is about 30 meters at 1 star... The bullets it shoots cannot penetrate monsters, so it can only cause single damage."

Xiao Jian explained to Zhang Weidong the types of plant servants he was going to leave in N7183.

The largest number of them is of course the 1-star pea shooter, followed by the big mouth flower.

Big mouth flower + roadblocks or any simple defense facilities have proven to be very good bottom-up defense.

And most importantly, a big mouth flower can defend a distance of more than 3 squares, and any monster that appears in the surrounding 3x3 range will be easily killed by it - of course, it is only possible if the size judgment allows it.

In addition to these two types of servants, Xiao Jian also plans to leave them some high-level servants.

For example, 30 pea ice mages, such as 120 pea snipers.

However, Xiao Jian plans to place these high-level servants in the center of the town.

He plans to build a tower similar to the one in his own courtyard there, and then concentrate the high-level servants there, so that the efficiency of these servants can be improved to a certain extent.

However, the most important thing is still the outer defense line.

"I think that large positions are not very good, it should be like this..." Zhang Weidong also picked up a stone and drew while talking.

His ideas are almost the same as those of the South Five Fortress.

Although there is not as much engineering work as the South Five Fortress here, Zhang Weidong tries to choose terrain with advantages, and tries to use high to low while ensuring that the position has sufficient defensive depth.

This depth arrangement alone opened Xiao Jian's eyes - he is indeed a professional!

After defining the positions, Zhang Weidong began to set up firepower points.

After fully understanding the abilities of Xiao Jian's various servants, Zhang Weidong asked Xiao Jian to arrange them in groups of three or two on the positions.

Although the number of pea shooters was dispersed, they strangely established different firepower levels, ensuring that there would always be three or four different groups of pea shooters to provide firepower coverage within a certain distance.

And the terrifying thing is... he even took the loss of firepower points into account!

Even if two or three groups were lost at a certain point, it would not even affect the resistance strength of the entire front!

The most magical thing in the end was the arrangement of cross-firepower points...

Not only could the firing ranges between the firepower points cover each other, but even the passages for the soldiers within the firing ranges were arranged.

In short... it was amazing.

Xiao Jian even wanted Zhang Weidong to produce a defense map for his courtyard.
