National Fate: Eight Yin Generals Guard China from Their Sleeping Coffins

New York City, the land of the Bald Eagle.

The sky was smoky and turned a dark gray.

The piercing siren ripped through the Manhattan morning.

From the moment the system announced the breach of the defenses, this once-proud financial center turned into a meat grinder.

The lava behemoth did not shatter the homeland of the Bald Eagle Kingdom, but the collapsed national power structure directly cut off the power grid, draining the hope from the hearts of the people.

White police officer Mike hid behind a riot police car, his hands gripping an automatic rifle tightly.

The magazine is empty.

A hundred meters ahead on Fifth Avenue, countless rioters smashed the windows of luxury stores and fought over a bottle of purified water on the shelf.

Blood smeared the marble steps.

"Open fire! Don't let them storm the government building!"

The captain roared into the communications channel.

Mike did not move.

He stared coldly at the sky.

The Pentagon's military helicopters took away politicians and tycoons, leaving only the lower classes to suppress the completely out-of-control crowds on the streets.

The defenses have collapsed; no one can save anyone else.

Someone lit a gasoline can on the street corner, and the flames illuminated Mike's bloodshot eyes.

He ripped off his police badge and threw it into the sewer, then turned and blended into the crowd of robbers.

...........

Not just the United States, but a storm is sweeping across most of the globe.

Within the territory of the Russian bear country, a heavy snowstorm raged.

After losing the cold resistance bonus from the system, millions of civilians migrated through the Siberian cold wave.

Armored vehicles led the way, their tracks crushing the ice, followed by a long and winding line of refugees.

Food shortages triggered a series of upheavals, warlords began to seize control of cities, and large swathes of land became no-man's-land.

Europe was plunged into complete chaos.

The romantic capital was swallowed by fire.

Countless people flocked to the port, seizing cargo ships, yachts, and even tying up rafts to fix their course firmly to the east.

The world's attention is focused on one coordinate—China.

That was the only line of defense for survival on Earth.

China, southwestern border.

Ten meters in front of the boundary marker, azure spiritual energy soared into the sky and spread along the border.

The light curtain was not dazzling; it was semi-transparent and perfectly enveloped the 9.6 million square kilometers of land.

This is a natural protective barrier formed by the spiritual energy nourishing the earth's veins after the surge in China's national fortune.

Outside the barrier, a cacophony of voices filled the air.

More than a million transnational refugees gathered outside the barbed wire fence.

Refugees of all skin colors and languages ​​were piled up together.

They frantically pounded on the blue light screen, some knelt in the mud and kowtowed, while others held up the babies in their hands and cried loudly.

The refugees in the front row were pushed and shoved by the surging crowd behind them, their cheeks pressed against the light screen and distorted.

Zhou Yaoguo stood on the border command tower.

A cold wind blew against the star on his shoulder.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic area below filled with despair.

Staff Officer Li strode up the iron ladder, stopped, and saluted.

"Sir, the number of refugees abroad is still surging. The number of people gathered in the southwest section has now exceeded 1.2 million, and coastal radar has detected a large number of unidentified vessels approaching our territorial waters."

Zhou Yaoguo made no extra expressions or movements.

What is the maximum capacity of the spiritual energy barrier?

"The Science Department has tested it and found that conventional thermal weapons cannot penetrate it; the current pushing and shoving will not cause substantial damage."

Staff Officer Li replied, then hesitated for a moment before adding, "But there is immense pressure from international public opinion. Representatives from several countries that have already declared their dissolution have requested via satellite phone that we open temporary shelters out of humanitarian considerations."

Zhou Yaoguo let out a cold laugh.

"International public opinion?"

"Ha, the border was defended by those eight young men with their lives, not as a bargaining chip to curry favor with these people."

Zhou Yaoguo's voice was deep and resonant, revealing an undeniable iron-fisted approach: "Pass on my order! The entire army is to enter a state of highest combat readiness! Whether civilians or routed soldiers, anyone who dares to cross the boundary marker even half a step will be killed on the spot! Not a single bullet can be spared!"

"yes!"

Staff Officer Li stood at attention, shouted loudly, and turned to issue combat orders.

Zhou Yaoguo looked back at the refugee crisis, his eyes filled with nothing but indifference.

When China was going through a great calamity, these foreigners took advantage of its misfortune.

Now that the great edifice is crumbling, this Noah's Ark of China will only carry its own people.

The tragic situation overseas was captured by drones and broadcast live on major platforms across China.

The topic has sparked unprecedented discussion on the Chinese internet.

Ordinary people watching the foreign refugees fighting each other for a bite of food on the screen felt a chill run down their spines.

If it weren't for the Underworld Team holding their ground, they would be the ones begging for survival in the mud today.

Just as the whole nation was united in its determination to resist foreign pressure, a verified post suddenly topped the trending search list.

The person who posted the message is Yao Dazui, a famous female star in the entertainment industry.

She posted a short video of border refugees crying out, along with a long text:

"My heart breaks as I watch these elderly people and children freezing and starving outside the light screen. We are all part of the global village, and humanity is a whole. China is so powerful now, with unprecedented national strength, why can't it show the demeanor of a great power, open the barrier, and create a buffer zone to take them in? The cries outside are too jarring. Love should have no borders. Please give them a way to live."

The moment the news broke, it went viral across the internet.

Without any official intervention, 1.4 billion Chinese netizens, whose spiritual energy has been awakened, directly taught her a lesson with their keyboards.

Love knows no borders, but I have a nationality! Stop pretending to be a saint!

If you really pity them, buy a plane ticket and go live with them yourself. Don't disgust people here!

What were you doing when Chen Xiao was risking his life to kill the monster on the front lines? Now you're trying to take advantage of others' misfortunes?

[A buffer zone? Let one in and ten more will come; let a hundred in and they'll steal your house! Are you out of your mind?]

[It is suggested that Yao Dazui be tied to the boundary marker so that she can use her love to reform the rioters outside.]

[They really think they're innocent? The official channels absolutely mustn't open the door! I'll be the first to object to anyone who dares to open it!]

Check her taxes. This kind of person is shrewd enough to make money like no one else, but when it comes to this, she goes crazy.

Get out of China! Take your love and shine brightly elsewhere!

[Please stop criticizing her. She's just genuinely stupid, stupid in a refreshingly unique way.]

【..........】

In less than ten minutes, the post garnered over a million comments, all of which were condemnations.

Yao Dazui looked at the barrage of abusive private messages flooding his inbox and the dirt dug up on him. He turned pale with fright, frantically deleted his posts, closed the comment sections of all his social media accounts, and pretended to be dead and went offline.

This online farce has further strengthened the nation's resolve to defend its borders.

Peace and tranquility reigned within the borders of China.

The major cities are brightly lit, the night markets are bustling with people, and the smoke from barbecue skewers rises into the sky.

Ordinary people who have awakened their spiritual energy even began practicing breathing exercises in the square, and their daily lives were not disrupted at all.
