Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Great Xia.

Linjiang City.

After a half-day pause, the snow began to fall again.

The streets, cleared diligently by hundreds of thousands of citizens, were soon covered in another layer of white.

Sergeant Qian Rui of the 86th Post in the East District gripped his assault rifle with both hands, gazing through the glass towards the intersection not far away.

Since frequent outbreaks of natural disasters, Great Xia began building numerous posts in each city.

To date, Linjiang City has constructed more than 1000 posts.

Each post is typically set at major traffic routes or areas with high pedestrian traffic, housing a squad of soldiers within.

By this calculation.

Approximately over ten thousand soldiers are scattered across various corners of the city.

In the sequence of Great Xia Military, they belong to the city's security defense system.

Abbreviated as—City Defense Soldiers.

The majority of City Defense Soldiers have been recruited since the implementation of the Great Xia Emergency Bill, with only the squad leader being a veteran.

Of course.

The so-called "veteran" actually only has a few years of military service.

Due to Great Xia's massive recruitment of twenty million military personnel, seasoned veterans were simply not enough.

This is Qian Rui's third year of enlistment, under normal circumstances, he would need at least ten years to be granted the rank of sergeant.

But thanks to the rapid expansion of the military, he quickly became a squad leader.

At this moment.

A nearby recruit suddenly muttered in a low voice: "This patrol duty is so boring!"

Qian Rui turned his head and snapped: "We are soldiers, responsible for safeguarding the city's security, patrol duty is our job, stay focused!"

The recruit couldn't help but say: "Sergeant, we've been at this post for two months, just staring at the intersection every day, does this really have any meaning?"

Several other soldiers also turned to look.

Judging by their expressions, many shared the same thoughts.

Qian Rui frowned and patiently explained: "Now is the Age of Calamity, danger could appear in the city at any time, we are the first line of defense protecting the citizens, our work is indeed meaningful."

He always felt that the military expanded too hastily, many recruits only received one month of training, inevitably causing a decline in troop quality.

If it were before the expansion, everyone would remember the saying "soldier's unconditional obedience to orders", who would ask such questions?

The recruit's lips moved slightly, but ultimately he said nothing.

However, looking at his expression, he clearly still thought standing at the intersection all day was a waste of life.

A few seconds passed.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the road afar.

A small truck crashed into the road's central divider, producing a "bang bang" sound.

The driver, in panic, sharply twisted the steering wheel, turning the truck into the roadside greenery, where it flipped over.

A soldier hurriedly shouted: "Sergeant, it looks like there was an accident over there!"

Qian Rui decisively ordered: "Five of you come with me to rescue, the rest stay at the post!"

He hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed out.

Due to long-term habits developed in the military, Qian Rui didn't forget to carry his firearm, but rather slung it over his shoulder.

Five soldiers quickly followed him.

These recruits hadn't yet cultivated the habit of keeping their weapons close, only one brought his assault rifle, while the other four were empty-handed.

Qian Rui sprinted over a dozen meters, then suddenly stopped.

Because he saw something unusual.

On the road not far from the truck, a large pile of snow inexplicably bulged up, moving towards the overturned truck.

What is this?

Instinctively, as a soldier, Qian Rui lifted his gun and aimed at the snow mound.

A nearby recruit also saw the odd snow mound, blurting out: "Yeti!"

A supernatural event once took place in Shapudian, where Cold Abyss projected a wisp of power, forming an illusory lake.

The rules around the lake changed, and within a range of over ten kilometers appeared creatures called Yeti.

Great Xia did not hide this matter, relevant videos were published and garnered substantial attention online.

This recruit had watched the video, forming a deep impression of the Yeti, hence quickly identified the snow mound as a Yeti.

Qian Rui paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered the training received some time ago, and the new weapons distributed half a month ago.

He unhesitatingly shouted: "I'll hold the Yeti at bay, you hurry back to grab flamethrowers and shields, and call a few others to rescue the driver."

In preparation for the challenges of the Superpower Era, Great Xia Military regularly trains officers on handling various monsters.

The best weapon against Yeti isn't firearms or grenades, but flamethrowers.

Every post in every city of Great Xia is equipped with five flamethrowers, and soldiers have undergone related training.

At this moment.

Qian Rui suddenly realized: "So the higher-ups had long predicted that Yetis would appear in Canglan Star's various corners."

He also understood one thing: "No wonder Great Xia vigorously conducted a nationwide snow-clearing effort.

"Every city deployed extensive engineering vehicles to specifically transport snow outside the city."

"Turns out these measures were to counter the Yetis, truly our country's leadership is far-sighted!"

As the snow decreases, Yetis find it difficult to replenish, which objectively restrains their strength.

Qian Rui aimed his rifle slightly and resolutely pulled the trigger.

"Da! Da!"

From several tens of meters away, bullets precisely hit the Yeti.
