Chapter 370: Takeover
However, Qi Lin is not too worried about this, now most of the players have withdrawn from the front line to the base camp, and the rebels can intercept only some scattered players who have not had time to retreat in the first batch, although the number of these people together is not small, but compared to the garrison of the alliance in the base camp, it is still much worse.
What's more, the biggest problem of the rebels is the lack of heavy weapons, and perhaps the constant attacks will make the alliance very irritable, but it is far from the point of breaking the bones, and it is even more impossible to get the consortium alliance to repeal the mandatory game law for this.
In war, small-scale guerrilla warfare can never really crush the enemy, and in order to achieve ultimate victory, it is necessary to play a decisive advantage on the frontal battlefield, and these rebels, even if they are all combined, obviously do not have the ability to compete head-on with the consortium alliance.
Moreover, even if the consortium agrees to the rebels' terms, if the mastermind does not agree, the decree will still be enforced.
The ultimate managers of all the shelters in the world are not the big conglomerates, let alone the politicians of the old era who have lost their power, but the supercomputer whose body is located in a secret corner of the earth, the "mastermind".
The mastermind has a replica on all continents, controlling the operation of thousands of shelters, from the development of underground networks, to the distribution and management of resources and materials, the humans in the shelters have to do almost everything through the mastermind, and it can even be said that without the mastermind, humans simply cannot maintain the basic social order in the underground world.
The main brain is a milestone in the history of human science, a bright star, and it is also one of the foundations of human existence.
Qi Lin didn't know who developed the mastermind and how, but when he knew, when people entered the shelter, the mastermind was already functioning - when the old countries died one by one, the mastermind truly became the supreme ruler of the earth.
Even those big conglomerates with huge resources cannot directly order the mastermind, all they have is the right to propose and vote, and the final decision is always in the hands of the mastermind.
And there is only one ultimate rule that the mastermind needs to follow: "No matter what means are used, no matter what the cost, ensure the continuation of the human race." ”
……
……
After killing this group of rebels, the next part of the road was relatively smooth, and Qi Lin, Cheng Yanqiu, and Hans successfully returned to the alliance's base camp with almost no fighting.
Compared with the huge momentum when they left, Qi Lin and their current appearance looked very embarrassed - more than three hundred people, more than a dozen vehicles, tanks, and combat vehicles, and in less than a day, there was only one car and three people left.
But at least the task entrusted to Qi Lin by Cheng Li was completed, and he brought Cheng Yanqiu back intact.
After several checkpoints, the off-road vehicle slowly drove into the city gate of the base camp, at this time, a convoy of the Cheng consortium drove over and stopped in front of Qi Lin and them, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers jumped down from the trucks behind them in an instant, firmly surrounding Qi Lin and the three of them.
"What does that mean?" Qi Lin was stunned, although these soldiers did not directly point their guns at the three people, but the atmosphere of this "welcome ceremony" was obviously too tense.
"These people...... It's not Uncle Cheng Li's people. Cheng Yanqiu lowered his voice and stood beside Qi Lin and said.
Sure enough, it was not Cheng Li who got out of the first black bulletproof car, but a man in his early forties, with a thin figure, stepping on a pair of shiny leather shoes, a bright bow tie around his neck, and a pair of delicate fine gold wire edges framed on the bridge of his straight nose.
Compared with Cheng Li, this man has a little less sharpness, but a little more feminine.
"Young Master Yanqiu, welcome back." The man pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose, bowed slightly, and bowed to Cheng Yanqiu.
"Ning Han? Why are you here, Uncle Cheng Li? Cheng Yanqiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the man named "Ning Han".
"Oh...... Cheng Li, he used the strategic reserve weapons of the consortium without authorization, and handed them over to outsiders for use, which originally violated the internal regulations of the consortium, and he has now returned to the headquarters to take up his post, and will also be investigated by the internal inspection team of the consortium - by the way, it is the one who is now taking over the base camp branch of the consortium. Ning Han said lightly.
"Unauthorized use? Didn't Cheng Li give me the nuclear warhead after getting permission from the consortium? Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, and immediately explained.
"You don't know?" Ning Han suddenly showed a very surprised expression, "He didn't get the authorization of the consortium, he only applied to the consortium to transfer the storage location of the nuclear warhead, on the grounds that the nearby rebels were more frequent, but after getting the permission to leave the warehouse, he sent the nuclear warhead directly to you." ”
Ning Han's gaze swept over Qi Lin with some contempt, and continued: "Originally, I should have arrested you and sent you back to the headquarters, but he used the maximum authority he could use to take all the responsibilities, and only then did he save you once." ”
"I'm going back to headquarters, I'll go and talk to the board of directors about this in person!" Cheng Yanqiu said, but Ning Han shook his head, and the soldiers around him also narrowed the encirclement by a step at the same time.
"The matter of the 147 outpost has not yet been decided, Young Master Yanqiu is also invited to stay in this base camp, and soon the board of directors will send investigators here, in addition, young master, we have also strengthened the security force for you in the place where you are now in reality, the rebel activities have been rampant recently, for your safety, it is best not to go out easily."
"You're trying to restrict my freedom?" Cheng Yanqiu said coldly, his face gloomy as if he was about to drip water.
"Don't dare, all this is an order from the board of directors, and when the investigation is over, I will naturally give the young master an explanation."
"Good." Cheng Yanqiu nodded.
"Young Master, you can cooperate with my work, that's really good, so young master, do you want to go back to the station now, I can send you over later." Ning Han said with a smile and pushed open the door of the bulletproof car.
"No, I'm going to wander around the base camp, you don't care about this, do you?"
"Of course not, but for the sake of the young master's safety, I will let a few people follow you, and I hope you don't refuse."
"I know."
After Ning Han finished speaking, he got in the car and left here, and the soldiers also left, but a few people in civilian clothes stayed, and they were more than thirty meters behind Cheng Yanqiu, neither close nor far away.
"It seems that you are under surveillance and house arrest - who is that Ning Han?" Qi Lin watched the bulletproof sedan go away and asked Cheng Yanqiu.
"A retainer of the Cheng family, a former confidant of my father...... But then he was co-opted by some other people. ”
"You ...... What are you talking about? What happened to those people just now? At this time, Hans, who didn't know much Chinese, suddenly shouted loudly, when he was surrounded by Ning Han's soldiers just now, Cheng Yanqiu and Qi Lin were fine, Hans, who didn't understand the cause and effect of the incident, was really shocked into a cold sweat.
"It's nothing, a little housework, let's go, I finally escaped from the Kuroshio, let's go have a drink." Cheng Yanqiu quickly changed into a normal expression, and patted Cheng Yanqiu and Hans on the shoulder with a smile.
"Family matters? Oh Shet...... That's when I remembered, that tall, thin guy...... I think I call you 'young master'? Oh my God, they're from the Cheng Consortium, ...... Are you ......?" said Hans, his eyes widened and he stammered a little.
