Chapter 110: Riot?
The one-hour deadline set by Wu Yun finally arrived, and the entire procurement work was very smooth under Aya's arrangement, Wu Yun didn't know much about their measurement methods, and all the acceptance work was completed by Aya. And all the acquisition costs were covered by Wendy.
Originally, his plan was to use some means to ask Wendy to pay for it, but before he could put it into action, little Lori had already run out, and soon brought back a few men in uniform clothes, seeing that the familiar clothes should be the staff of the hunter center. Each of them had a rifle in their hands, and they swarmed Wendy into the tent, crowding the already small space. Wu Yun couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw their **-like style.
It wasn't until he saw Wendy open the chest he was carrying, revealing the golden coins inside. Only then did he realize that these people were the security guards escorting the gold coins. Where had the people of the slums seen this world, and immediately everyone stayed there.
It wasn't until Aya started to give everyone the money that they reacted, and everyone cheered in unison. The sentry above had to run around the wall again.
"I know, you continue to monitor, and report the situation immediately." Philos nodded, he had already made arrangements, as long as there was no excessive force over there, he didn't need to care too much. After all, the situation here is getting more and more serious.
He had been paying attention to the number of giant ants on the field, and as Wu Yun said, it had always remained at about fifteen. The question is if the current tactics are maintained. It seems that humans have the upper hand, but there is no point in just knocking out the ordinary giant ants inside the armor, and there are countless alternatives waiting to be used outside the wall of fire.
And in this short period of time, there was another hole under the city wall. Due to the outstanding performance of the squad leader Tiger, the situation was quickly stabilized inside. Despite this, Philos had to send a team of men to defend the gap. If we continue like this and open a few more holes, all the defenses on the walls will have to be withdrawn.
Five or six giant ants in armor were divided into a group, and they rushed over one by one, although the number was not much, but their attack frequency was quite stable, like a ** tide hitting McGee's city wall, although the latter seemed to be extremely strong, but under the efforts of the giant ants to sacrifice their lives, the metal outer wall under McGee's yellow city wall was eroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"We need a dozen grenades here, and then three boxes of large and two small boxes are being sent to the second row position." This is a common language in the military, large refers to 762*39mm rifle bullets, and small refers to 90*19mm pistol rifle mixed ammunition. Most of the army's firearms are armed with these two types of ammunition.
Hulk was directing the Mechanics back and forth between the warehouse and the wall, and the soldiers' ammunition consumption was staggering. In his impression, the material reserves in the warehouse were simply inexhaustible, but in the face of the infinite consumption of giant ants, his heart also began to beat a drum. His gaze shifted to the black steel in the distance.
The swarthy man was still holding on to his post, and he led the team, frantically concentrating on the giant ants covered with metal shells below, which were like small black armored vehicles moving forward wantonly below, and each killing one consumed a lot of ammunition, but after fighting like this for most of the day, the number of giant ants under the wall did not decrease at all.
As a veteran, he naturally realized that it was not possible to go on like this. The problem is that the current situation is that it is difficult to ride a tiger, and if you stop yourself, the city wall will be even more difficult to support.
And if in the end there is no protection from this wall? Blacksteel couldn't help but shudder, the result was really terrible. It is estimated that McGee will become the only place of death that exists in people's legends, just like the old Fury. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn pale, and the AK in his hand spewed out tongues of fire again. Now he could only hope for Philos and the weak boy.
There is a saying that a small amount adds up, and now Wu Yun understands the meaning of this sentence, mosquito coils do not have a large inventory in everyone's homes, but every family will have some. With the help of Wu Yun's acquisition order. This kind of plant, which is not usually paid much attention to by everyone, is neatly stacked together. From a distance, it looks like a haystack in a farmland. Seeing this purple hill, Wu Yun was half happy and half sad. With such a large number, it is impossible for Wendy's two-seater car to fit. And the car is still stuck at the side door. How do you bring it there? Do you want to run back and ask Philos to move it?
Is there a better way? Wu Yun looked at Aya next to Xiaoshan, she was the hardest in the whole process. She counts and counts the money herself. In the face of a team of nearly 1,000 people, she arranged them one by one, and no one was dissatisfied with this transaction, nor did there be any dispute. On the one hand, it is certainly the credit of Wu Yun's double price, but on the other hand, Aya's reputation among civilians also plays a crucial role.
Looking at these smiling people, Wu Yun came up with a way to get the best of both worlds. He whispered a few words to Wendy first, and after thinking for a moment, little Lori finally nodded. With her support, he asked Aya to post a new ad again.
"Those who are present, who are willing to transport mosquito coils to the city wall, 20g at a time! There are people who go here to queue up. Aya didn't understand this instruction, in fact, although there are a lot of mosquito coils here, three or five young people can transport them away. You don't need that many people. Still, she issued the order to the crowd. People were boiling. 20g is not much for a hunter, but for the civilians here, it can take care of at least a day or two of food. And all you have to do is send it to the wall, which is basically sending money.
Wendy and Aya don't know Wu Yun's true intentions very well, and there is no doubt that mosquito coils restrain giant ants, but Wu Yun is not naïve enough to think that he can win the final victory by relying on this alone, this time to put it bluntly, he just discovered this knowledge by mistake. He didn't dare to guarantee that the other party would have no other backhand.
As a time-traveler who knows a little bit about history, the failures of the city defense battles he knows almost all have one thing in common, that is, the outbreak of internal problems. The main thing is the rebellion of the city guards and the people.
This is not optimistic for McGee Town, the gap between the rich and the poor here Wu Yun is deeply felt, the rich, soldiers and hunters are inferior to these civilians, from the search into the city, the layout of the city, the backwardness of medical facilities can be seen. Originally, these had nothing to do with him, but now the situation is a loss. Wu Yun is naturally tied to McGee's fate. Such hidden dangers naturally have to be dealt with.
If civilians are allowed to transport mosquito coils on the battlefield, on the one hand, it can ease relations with the soldiers, and on the other hand, let the civilians understand the consequences of the breach of Mackay, which is the best way to solve this problem.
Since the road is generally safe now, even if there are a few giant ants rushing in, Wu Yun is sure that it will not approach these people carrying mosquito coils. Even so, he set the age of participation in the range of fifteen to fifty.
Despite this restriction, more than a hundred people came out of it. There were men and women inside, and the only thing they had in common was the tattered clothes and the dish-colored faces. Under Aya's arrangement, the women who couldn't go put away the mosquito coils, all of them were neatly tied into bundles, and Aya distributed them to these people, and each of them took two bundles and put them on their shoulders, which was Wu Yun's request, so that the people around them could easily see it. There is no suspicion that there is any other purpose.
Wu Yun asked them to line up in three rows, and slowly set off in the direction of McGee's main entrance, and as soon as the team came to the entrance of the alley, several people blocked their way.
"You are... It was none other than the Renault trio who had come to investigate at the behest of Philos. They left the top and ran straight for the slum. and Wu Yun blocked them.
The team didn't delay for too long, Renault recognized the unprocessed mosquito coil at once, and Wu Yun's intention was self-evident. The only thing Renault was curious about why so many people were used to carry these things, and there was not much doubt after he quietly touched the mosquito coil bundle. They followed the procession on the way they came.
"What? More than a hundred civilians have come to us? Philos's face turned ugly, and it seemed that what he had feared had finally happened. In that short moment, he recovered, and it was really not difficult for him to eliminate more than a hundred people. It's just that the defense against the giant ants must be slowed down.
"What weapons are they carrying?" Philos decided to find out the strength of the other party first, so that he could arrange the manpower.
"I don't think I have any weapons... The sentry who came to report was also puzzled. "They seem to be carrying only bundles of purple stuff."
What the? Philos is a spirit. He quickly walked towards the inner wall, and the civilian convoy brought by Wu Yun was very conspicuous in the empty town. And the few people he sent were at the front of the team, he took out the bracelet that Wu Yun gave him before, and looked at the purple branches of the mosquito coil, it seemed that Wu Yun had completed his mission.
"Let them put everything in the city and pile it up." Philos had a smile on his face. Said to the herald behind him. "Let the people below bring some of the things they sent."
Philos originally wanted to go down directly, but in this case, the morale of the soldiers above would inevitably be shaken, so he had to arrange it this way.
