Ren Xiaosu had a long dream.

In the dream, the potato shooter he and Yang Xiaojin planted in the small courtyard on Anning East Road actually bloomed.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to be plunged into a world of birds and flowers, and white flowers bloomed along with their roofs.

However, in an instant, a huge fire ignited in the world, and everything was burned to the ground.

There was a strong stench in the whole world, as if it was the smell of burnt leather tubes, mixed with the smell of old vinegar.

Ren Xiaosu slowly opened his eyes, and saw Da Yu sitting next to his bed and picking at his big feet.

Outside the dormitory window, it was already a new morning, and the sun was shining in through the window little by little.

Ren Xiaosu said expressionlessly: "Get out of here with your stinky feet!"

"Young marshal, you're awake," Da Flicker put his shoes on his face full of surprise: "You've been awake for a long time, I thought there was something wrong with your body!"

"How long did I sleep?" Ren Xiaosu asked, he raised his eyes to see that P5092, Wang Yun, Ji Ziang, Xun Yeyu and others were all crowded in the dormitory of the outpost.

"Sixteen hours," Da Yu said, "We rushed over after receiving Commander Zhang's notice, Miss Xiao Hibiscus and Miss Yingxue were guarding outside, and a few of our old men were guarding inside." ”

"Why did Mr. Zhang call you over?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.

"He said that you may not have rested for a long time, and you will be more fragile when you sleep, so let us guard you in case anything happens," said Da Yu.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that he hadn't slept for more than 40 hours, and he had experienced a high-intensity escape from being expelled by dusk, which was indeed a little unbearable.

With his vigilance, he didn't even notice that Da Flicker and the others were approaching.

However, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that it might be that he subconsciously felt that they could be trusted, so he was not awakened.

When he used to live in the market town, Yan Liuyuan would not wake him up when he approached.

"Do you have any instructions for Mr. Zhang," Ren Xiaosu asked.

"The entire operational command thought we might be retreating," the big flicker said.

Today, the entire northwest has been cut off from the Central Plains.

Even people like Ren Xiaosu, who have been to the Central Plains in person, can't actually confirm whether Zero really controls the entire Central Plains.

However, people who like to gamble on luck have always lost very badly, so the Northwest Army, under the condition of uncertainty about the specific situation, immediately decided to formulate an operational strategy with the worst plan.

To the east of Fort 178, such as Fortress 146, Fortress 144, Barrier 145, and Fortress 143, all of them are located in the plains.

The areas controlled by these barriers are not suitable for large-scale warfare at all, and if they insist on holding these places, the losses of the Northwest Army will probably increase by an additional 30%.

This 30% is not a simple number, behind it is tens of thousands of lives!

It is impossible for Zhang Jinglin to gamble with tens of thousands of lives, how many enemies there are.

So their best option was to retreat to the west of Barrier 143.

The terrain there is more suitable for defense.

"If the entire Central Plains has been controlled by artificial intelligence, then the 143 barrier is not our end, and there must be alternatives to the retreat plan. ”

"Where is the alternative?" asked Ren Xiaosu calmly.

"Withdraw to Fortress 178," replied the Big Flicker.

Ren Xiaosu frowned, if the situation was really so bad, it would mean that the Northwest was facing the largest migration since the Wasteland Age.

Not only the army will be withdrawn, but also the people here.

That's millions of residents and displaced people, how can they say that they will be evacuated.

But if you don't retreat with the residents, will it violate the original intention of the Northwest Army, not to mention, just by leaving so many people to zero, I'm afraid that human civilization will be even more dangerous.

"Where is Mr. Zhang?" asked Ren Xiaosu.

"He arrived at Barrier 144 this afternoon," said the Great Fool, "and the plan for the westward migration and retreat of the whole people must begin today." ”

From this moment on, the entire human civilization will begin to race against time.

Ren Xiaosu got up: "Come back to Barrier 144 with me, inform Zhou Yinglong, and the front-line outposts will also evacuate together, and go back to report on their own combat sequences, don't stay here to increase casualties." ”

At this time, everyone realized that Ren Xiaosu had entered the role of young marshal.

Zhou Yinglong is the commander of the Third Field Division, and if Ren Xiaosu can command without moving as the commander of the Sixth Field Division, he must use the identity of a young marshal.

However, Da Flicker was stunned for a moment: "That's not good, young marshal, these posts were originally built for war, and each post worked hard to set up telephone lines, just to reconnoiter the enemy situation and buy time for the rear troops." Sacrifice is certainly something that no one wants to see, but if they withdraw, we will be really blind. When the time comes, no one knows where the enemy will arrive or when the army will come to the city. ”

Ren Xiaosu shook his head, and then shouted out the window: "Zhou Yingxue!"

"Hey!" the big girl outside the window agreed: "What is the master calling me?"

Ren Xiaosu said: "When we leave, you will stay in this outpost, and if you find the enemy, you will immediately report to the rear, and then you will evacuate alone." ”

"Ao," Zhou Yingxue reluctantly agreed.

With Zhou Yingxue here, no one can keep her even if the enemy army arrives.

Big Flicker and P5092 looked at each other, everyone thought to themselves that it was appropriate to put a transcendent person as a big name like Zhou Yingxue here as a sentinel?

In fact, of course, the cost of doing so is the smallest, but Zhou Yingxue will feel very uncomfortable, right?

Ren Xiaosu tidied up his clothes and walked out the door, he looked at Zhou Yingxue and said, "Don't look unhappy, when the war is over, the black market of the entire Barrier Alliance will be given to you." ”

"Really?" Zhou Yingxue's eyes lit up: "The entire Barrier Alliance?"

"Hmm," Ren Xiaosu nodded.

"Thank you, master," Zhou Yingxue smiled.

At this time, Zhou Yingxue had not fully realized the seriousness of the problem, to be honest, whether there was a barrier alliance after this battle, and Ren Xiaosu was not sure.

However, they found out in a big way, don't look at how powerful this Zhou Yingxue girl is in the black market and Barrier 144 on weekdays, when she arrives in front of the young marshal and the little hibiscus girl, she is as well-behaved as a kitten.

On the way back, Ren Xiaosu also saw in the car that someone in the river beside the road was driving an excavation machine to dredge some tributaries.

Da Yu explained to the co-pilot: "Seeing that the water conservancy construction project is halfway through, and the area of farmland irrigation has reached half, it is really a pity to withdraw to the side of Fortress 178 like this." ”

Ren Xiaosu looked out the window attentively, wondering if he was really a broom star, every time he just wanted to stop, there would be a new change to destroy the home he had hoped for.

Yang Xiaojin on the side seemed to guess what he was thinking, and suddenly clenched his palm: "We evacuated here not because we were unlucky to follow you, but because there is no peace in this world." This troubled world was not brought by you, nor was it caused by you, on the contrary, with you guarding this land, I believe that we will be victorious. ”

Ren Xiaosu nodded.

In fact, whether it is Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, and Qingyi of the Qing family, or Ren Xiaosu, Da Fu, and Zhang Jinglin on the side of the 178 fortress.

When guessing what kind of power artificial intelligence zero has, there is actually a sense of powerlessness.

It's the despair of a 100-meter-high tsunami coming head-on and you have no way out.

However, Ren Xiaosu knew that there was another way to resolve the crisis, and he seemed to have only this one way left.

Yang Xiaojin suddenly whispered: "It may be a bit selfish to say this, but no matter what the situation, I don't want you to sacrifice yourself to save others, and you can't save me, understand? ”

After going to Barrier No. 88, there is no secret between Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojian, so Yang Xiaojin also knows very well what Ren Xiaosu's last resort is.

But for her, if the price of saving the world is to sacrifice Ren Xiaosu, then she is 10,000 unwilling.

Ren Xiaosu smiled: "It won't get to that point." ”

......

The group first returned to the garrison camp of the Sixth Field Division, and after all the core members entered the conference room, Ren Xiaosu pointed out the topic: "The content of today's discussion is how to arrange the orderly evacuation of the residents of the entire northwest, everyone remember, it is not a woman's benevolence to organize their evacuation, and we can't leave them to artificial intelligence." ”

Zhang Xiaoman wondered: "Is there really so many nanorobots in artificial intelligence, there are millions of people in this northwest, can it control so many?"

"We can only prepare for the worst now," P5092 explained, "and we don't know if it has the ability, but we can only assume that it can." We now have to make two preparations, one is to retreat, and the other is to meet the enemy. ”

There are too many things involved in the retreat work, such as the destruction of confidential documents, the transfer of grain reserves, the transfer of various materials, the registration of personnel transfers, how to transfer in batches, and how to set up supply lines on the way to retreat, which is actually a very huge project.

It's definitely not as simple as telling the residents to run away and run for their lives together.

As for the second thing, it is even more difficult to meet the enemy.

The retreat of millions of people is a long process, according to Wang Yuexi's estimation, the entire retreat plan will take a month to complete, but according to Ren Xiaosu's estimate, the crowd of people in the Central Plains will reach Barrier 144 in half a month at most.

This half a month must be earned.

Barrier No. 144 was the closest barrier to the Central Plains, and the Sixth Field Division, as the garrison of Barrier No. 144, was duty-bound.

Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and looked at P5092: "You take the original Tinder troops to retreat and participate in the construction of the rear defense line, I will tell Mr. Zhang about this matter, Zhou Yinglong's Third Field Division is on the way south, and they will complete the change of guard at that time." ”

Earlier, he had reached an agreement with P5092 that after the First World War in the Wizarding Realm, the battle sequence of the original Tinder troops would be withdrawn from the battle and would no longer participate in the civil war between the Barrier Alliance.

Therefore, during this time, the black fox unloaded his command task to bring new soldiers, those tinder soldiers went to help build water conservancy, and a small part went to help the residents of the barrier to carry out grain field reclamation work.

At this moment, the black fox should be on the way to pull fertilizer with the recruits.

However, after Ren Xiaosu said this, P5092 shook his head: "It's different, this is no longer a civil war between the Barrier Alliance, it is a war related to the survival of mankind." The soldiers of the original Tinder Force sequence will return to their posts, and I have just informed the Black Fox to come back to attend the meeting. ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the conference room was pushed open by the black fox.

An extremely ugly smell of fertilizer permeated the entire conference room, and the black fox looked at Ren Xiaosu and P5092 and asked, "Sir, what do you need me to do when you call me back?"

P5092 said calmly, "I need you to take up arms again with your brothers." ”
