Chapter 119: Wendy's Purpose
When the two of them arrived at the head of the city, it was already dark, and the originally overcrowded city was now empty, and the soldiers had been assigned to other positions, and all kinds of guns and empty ammunition boxes were scattered on the ground in a disorderly manner, and several guards were picking and going back and forth inside.
"It's you, what's the matter?" Philos and Darksteel were discussing something at the door of the warehouse, their eyesight seemingly unaffected by the darkness of the night. Both of them notice the arrival of Wu Yun and Wendy.
Wu Yun briefly explained his plan, and Philos and Black Steel listened with interest, and their faces invariably showed puzzled expressions.
"What is the purpose of this?" Philos apparently needed a proper reason, after all, the plan required a lot of food. "Even if it's just one meal, it's no joke to feed the whole town."
"The main purpose is to mobilize the masses to help defend the city." Wu Yun replied, "The giant ant colony doesn't know when it will attack, and with their help, isn't the pressure on the city defense much smaller?" ”
"Is it just a meal, can you pull them over?" Philos was obviously very skeptical of this question, "If it were that simple, our regiment would not have been sent here. ”
"yes." Black Steel interjected, "I've been out there for so many years, and I haven't heard of such a thing as the army inviting civilians to dinner. ”
"Of course it's not as simple as it says." Fortunately, Wu Yun had already thought of an explanation for this issue.
"First of all, the military has always been in McGee as a controller." Wu Yun slowly walked up to Philos, "Take advantage of this opportunity to use the army as McGee's protector to propagandize. ”
"Go on." Philos nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with his words.
"Secondly, I will call on residents to collect their own food." Wu Yun pointed to the layers of giant ant corpses stacked under the city, "With these things, in fact, the food we need to provide is far less than that of thousands of people, but this credit is really credited to the army." ”
"Maybe you're right." Philos waved his hand. Wu Yun immediately closed his mouth.
"But none of what you said explains my problem, are you sure you can win them over in this way?" Philos had to come up with a definite answer.
"I'm not entirely sure." Wu Yun didn't dare to make any guarantees on this issue. "It's a long-term process, and we don't have that much time."
"The only thing I can say is that this is the best means of mobilization right now." Wu Yun had to add a sentence at the end.
"What do you think?" Philos looked at the black steel beside him,
"I have the same opinion as you about the effect of this matter." The stout black man thought for a moment.
Hearing this, Wu Yun's heart couldn't help but sink down, and the other party's words were obviously not finished.
"But what this kid has been doing is defending McGee, and I think it's okay to give this a try." Heigang couldn't help but be happy when he looked at Wu Yun's changing expression.
"Wait~" Wendy, who had been silent, suddenly shouted, the girl's thin voice startled everyone, "I can still wrap all the food for civilians this time!" ”
"You?" Both of them looked at her with amazement. The three, including Wu Yun, didn't expect Wendy's shot to be so generous.
"That's right, the previous event was also done with the support of our captain." Wu Yun suddenly remembered that Wendy, the biggest financier, didn't mention it himself, and Philos and Black Steel just thought that these things were handled by Wu Yun, and the two didn't notice the economic problems behind them at all. Wu Yun immediately reported to the two of them about the collection of mosquito coils and the final arrangement.
"Looks like I'm underestimating our heroes." Philos smiled at Wendy, "On behalf of the army, I thank you for your great support. ”
"If there's anything you need our help with... Philos could naturally see that Wendy must have her purpose in doing this, and he didn't mind giving some benefits to the helper within his ability.
"You just have to answer me one question." Wendy's eyes widened, and her expression became unusually serious.
It was only at this time that Wu Yun realized that the reason why Xiao Lori has been supporting her behind her back is by no means a whim or a lack of involvement in the world, although she is not very old, she still looks away.
Philos's expression also changed from calm to a hint of curiosity, he didn't expect that the other party had invested such a large amount of money, just to ask a question. He couldn't help but get interested in the matter.
"Where did you see Maia?" Wendy couldn't wait to ask, "Where did he say he didn't have in the past?" ”
So that's the case, Philos suddenly realized. Little Lori turned out to be interested in his brother's whereabouts. He nodded, but unfortunately he didn't know much. "I had a relationship with him in Tower Town before. That's all. ”
Hearing this, Wendy had a disappointed look on her face.
"I met him in the repair shop, and he looked like he was looking for some kind of modification." Seeing Little Lori's expression, Philos couldn't help but add another sentence. "Maybe there's the news you need."
"What you said is true?" Wendy's face flushed and she became excited. However, she immediately asked, "How can there be a modification problem with my brother, and I have to go to the repair shop?" ”
"I don't know about that." Philos obviously didn't mean to continue to dwell on this issue, he looked at Wu Yun again, although Wendy was the gold owner, but the main implementer of the plan was still this kid who didn't even have a hunter's license.
"Black Steel, you go and help him, I don't have much available manpower right now, so you guys will take care of this matter." Philos glanced at the dark night in the distance, "I'll say hello to the warehouse, just go and get it if you need it, but remember not to waste it." ”
Wu Yun was very satisfied with Philos's arrangement. After all, as the other party, it is very rare to be able to have such an equal dialogue with yourself, let alone think about yourself. Now that there are people from the military in Heigang, many things can be much more worry-free.
"Have you forgotten one of the most important things?" Black Steel was obviously a little unhappy when he heard that he had given himself such an errand, and the question he and Philos had not yet received a clear answer, "When will the giant ant colony launch an offensive?" ”
This is also a question that Wu Yun needs to know urgently, the huge giant ant colony has not retreated, and it seems that it has been scattered around McGee. When exactly are they going to attack?
"There's no way to know for sure right now." Philos said with a sad face, "My sentinels are lying in ambush near the giant ant colony. If there's any movement, I'll send a flare to warn you, and that's the only way I can do to prevent it. ”
"That's all there is to it." Blacksteel nodded, "It's better than nothing." ”
"Then let's go too, this plan still needs time to prepare." Wu Yun also said goodbye to Philos, who nodded.
Wendy still seems to be distressed that she didn't get the answer she wanted. However, under Wu Yun's urging, both of them followed.
Under the leadership of Wu Yun, they quickly walked in the direction of the slum.
