"Help us, I need a job too, I have three grandchildren! I don't have enough food!" cried out the emaciated old man almost to his knees, with tears in his eyes.

The staff member in charge of registering the cash-for-work list said helplessly: "According to the statistics, what you said is indeed right. But you're really too old, and you can't do those jobs now. This is only the first batch of supplies, there will be more in the future, and the materials distributed before can support your family for a week. ”

The old man kept shaking his head: "At night, I can't protect the food...... I need to be able to bring it back every day. ”

"How is that possible? There are patrols now. ”

"I'm scared of hunger! Since the officials retreated, the whole city has run out of food, and my wife has starved to death because of the only food she has left. When you first arrived, many people were scared and didn't dare to go out. But those who see that you are very orderly and do not have food in store have already begun to take risks to grab food. Now that we all know that the food has been distributed, someone will definitely take the risk of grabbing more, and no one knows what the future holds. ”

The old man continued to cry and shout, "Please, I can really work!"

Seeing that the staff seemed to be considering, the people in the back row waiting to receive relief food also knelt down in unison: "Please, we want to work too." ”

The person on guard on the side was afraid that something would go wrong and hurriedly contacted his boss.

In a building not far away, the commander of the large city on the West Coast was in a terrible situation.

What ESG leaves behind is a very bad mess.

It wasn't until after the takeover that some people asked about their lives for so many years that they knew that the control had reached such a tight level.

Job opportunities almost always revolve around two lines.

Defense, scientific research.

Not to mention scientific research, it is only a field that only a few high-level intellectuals have the opportunity to set foot in.

Defense, on the other hand, is a large number of factories and underground facilities.

Judging from their statements, it may be that in the past few years, an underground transportation network has been piled up underground in this country with manpower and resources.

After the robot team went down to investigate, some nodes had already been blown up.

ESG is now fighting a lose-losing war.

But after ESG's retreat, millions of civilians were left behind in empty cities that had lost their food supplies.

In the past, they could also work in various downstream raw material supply industries, bringing only food rations for their families.

But now...... After the Human Alliance took over, it was not able to put together enough work immediately.

Millions of people, how easy is it to manage?

He's been reporting it up many times.

"Calm their emotions, increase patrol forces, and if you encounter people who do not abide by the law, do not show mercy and establish prestige!"

There is not much food, after all, it can only be transported by ships in batches.

There aren't as many job opportunities, and there's no way to discern who is absolutely safe.

The commander contacted his boss again: "The consumption is too great! If we can't end this state quickly, we will be dragged here with millions of people in every big city!"

"You've been appointed as a magistrate, and you don't need to think about war. The second batch of supplies is on the way, is there any latest information from you?" said the boss on the phone.

The commander sighed: "The location of the suspected underground command center in this city is still being cleared, but there is little hope. Judging from what we know so far, the amount of war materials they have stockpiled over the years is much larger than we imagined. They have not taken large-scale action in the past few days, and I am afraid they are still waiting for the opportunity. ”

"Don't you have any information on ESG communication networks?"

"It's still searching. It can only be confirmed that they are old-fashioned means of communication by which they are not afraid of HPMW attacks. So this is also a difficult point, theoretically, there must be a large number of secret personnel and secret strongholds lurking on my side. At present, we can only search and eliminate it one by one! After all, our equipment can't be directly seen underground!"

"Alright, thank you. There is an update on the situation!"

The commander said helplessly: "Obey." ”

He put down the phone and looked out the window.

ESG people are really crazy people, what are they trying to win, are there any chances?

This is how their own compatriots plundered for several years.

Before they actually set foot on this land, who would have thought that they would already live as well as the countries of the Third World?

……

Of course, the standing committee members of the Human Alliance are aware of the stalemate.

In fact, all other situations are easy to say, but the mushrooms that may exist in tens of thousands are fearful.

The strategic purpose is different.

What the Human Alliance wants is not a wasteland that will pollute the entire planet for a long time.

But these people, in a few years, using clumsy methods that have been eliminated for decades, are stunned to build a set of communication methods that are difficult to monitor, and a set of hidden transportation methods.

Fuck, it's actually a tunnel war now.

Judging from some of the underground transportation networks that have been found, where has one of the famous industrial giants of the year pointed out the technology tree over the years?

The giant shield machine is certain, and with the fortification coolies, and the laying of some materials against the existing geological exploration instruments, it makes it difficult for the advanced forces of the Human Alliance.

Aren't you a great space explorer? Then I'm going to develop underground technology.

"Are they going to the center of the earth, the earth rats?" Tejing couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be that their development direction is to be underground kings and fight against us for a long time? Is there a future for such a life? How can they grow food underground?"

"The two islands have been cleared, and it can be confirmed that they are currently only in the underground of the two continents. Then there's the deep sea, which is a place that our exploration forces can't reach effectively. Tang Yuanfeng frowned.

The former overlords led by science and technology have turned to specialize in underground technology, and I really don't know where they have progressed.

If this development continues, it may really turn into a protracted confrontation.

There may be tens of thousands of mushrooms in hand, and there is also the technology of nuclear power plants, doing things underground at all costs, and the devil knows how long they will survive.

Thea said worriedly: "In the current situation, maybe they know that the controllable nuclear fusion has reached a breakthrough, and if they continue to wait, there will be a rhythm that they can't control." Directly use mushrooms to cause wars, but control the intensity in this way, just to drag us in and consume our energy and resources. And they still need a certain amount of time to complete the final project. I suspect that at some point, they will directly detonate the final state, carry out a major cleansing of the surface ecology, hibernate underground for a generation or two, and then eventually return to the surface. ”

"That sounds like an exaggeration. Jian Yushu said, "In order to regain hegemony, they chose this direction? Decades or hundreds of years of planning? Can science and technology support the lives of hundreds of millions of people underground?"

"Nothing is impossible. You know, when we faced off against each other, there was not a lot of research on this side. Tejing's face was serious.

Jian Yushu looked at him speechlessly, yes, you had a nuclear confrontation at that time, and we in Huaguo have built a lot of underground projects.

"Hurry up. The top priority is a breakthrough in underground exploration technology. We need to find them as soon as possible!" Tang Yuanfeng said, "In addition, they must have a large number of observation equipment and personnel ambushed on the surface, all of which must be found." ”

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

Searching the surface inch by inch......

Or at any time the risk of not knowing where a mushroom will rise.

At this moment, the screen in the conference hall suddenly lit up.

"Hi...... Uh-huh, can you hear me?"

Tejing and the others were dumbfounded, looking at Gu Song on the screen.

Tang Yuanfeng subconsciously said, "I can hear it...... ......He remembered that this might be a message from his side, billions of kilometers away, how could it be communicated in real time.

Unexpectedly, Gu Song grinned at the screen and said, "It's really useful." What's that...... Don't panic when you hear the report, the communication frequency of the deep space exploration network is occupied by me. High-dimensional communication without latency, awesome, right?"

Jian Yushu opened his mouth and didn't speak...... He opened his mobile phone and looked at it, the equipment in Yanjing's underground laboratory was not opened......

Tang Yuanfeng asked in a daze, "High-dimensional non-latency communication?"

Gu Song looked very happy, only to see him beckoning to the side: "Come here, come over, video chat." ”

In a short time, the screen was crowded with many people.

He Ting, Hu Shanchuan, Adrian, Polov, Marape......

Fan Yuanbai, Zhao Hongtao, Dong Heguang......

Jian Yushu guessed something, and his eyes lit up.

On the screen, Gu Song said: "Come, I would like to introduce to you my planetary-class mothership spaceship: the Flint!"
