On the outskirts of M City, around the Air Force base perimeter.

This had already become a heavily guarded war front, with several layers of barbed wire strung along the gravel path from the highway to the base fence. Soldiers, armed and vigilant, leaned against sandbag barriers, waiting for the enemy’s arrival.

At this moment, the sun had just risen at dawn, and fortunately, the weather was clear and cloud-free today. With the help of the golden morning light, the entire desert landscape was visible.

“Yawn…” Taverley rubbed his dry eyes and looked dispiritedly at his squad leader Harry, “Sir, just who the hell are we supposed to fight?”

Their squad had been woken from their sleep late last night.

Unlike previous surprise drills, they were not given any mission brief; instead, they were bewilderingly armed and sent into the Air Force base. They first stayed in the airport for several hours, then were moved to the outskirts on the west side of the base and directly into sandbag positions.

As the troops responsible for defending the base, their status was undoubtedly the lowest. Being ordered around was common, but there ought to be a reason, right? In fact, up until now, Taverley had only heard one command, “Eliminate all suspicious moving targets; this is not a drill.” As for how exactly the targets were suspicious, the senior officers had not offered any explanation.

He also noticed something odd: only their ragtag crew was in action, while the Air Force units were exceedingly peaceful. Not only had the airport not launched a single aircraft, but there wasn’t even the sound of engines warming up.

If it wasn’t a drill and there was no need to deploy the Air Force, that meant the enemy must be pretty weak, huh? So weak that a few dozen rifles could easily take care of them.
