Chapter 197: Azu's Ambition
The power outage in the city has had a huge impact, but the culprits who are responsible for everything have not been affected.
Although Azu had met with his subordinates and Secretary Li in the city before, in fact, the stronghold where he and his people were entrenched had always been outside the city.
The stronghold controlled by Azu is quite far away from the city, although it is in the same area as Chen Xin's shelter, but it is even farther away from the city, and it is just a small shelter at the village and town level.
This kind of village and town shelter is not a small number, although they were all built temporarily in the three months before the disaster struck, but considering that the population of the village and town is not large, the amount of construction work of this kind of temporary shelter is not particularly large, so at that time, the Yanguo Zhengfu built many such small shelters in villages and towns at all levels.
Most of these shelters are just digging a pit more than 10 meters deep in the ground, and then building a small bunker in the pit that can accommodate about a few hundred people, and then backfilling the excavated soil to form a soil layer about 20 meters thick.
Although the construction is relatively simple, it is enough for three to five hundred people to take refuge in a short period of time.
After all, this is only used to resist the flames, low temperatures, and other secondary disasters that may occur due to the apocalypse, and it is not used to resist military strikes such as nuclear bombs or conventional missile attacks, and it does not need to reach the high level of defense of civil air defense fortifications.
However, all the advantages of this small evacuation naturally have its disadvantages, because the place is small, and it is naturally impossible to have special planting greenhouses and supporting living facilities like large shelters, and the living environment of the survivors in it is difficult to call it comfortable.
This shelter was not a refuge occupied by Azu and his men, but a refuge in the village where their group had been home to their original family and relatives.
Of course, Azu's group of people didn't come out of thin air, and they weren't crazy people with bad brains.
Azu and his closest brothers are all from the city, but when they were young, they were brave and ruthless, and they were called "manic" in the local dialect.
Azu's parents died when he was a child, and although he was raised by his second uncle, his second uncle was already a civil servant in the municipal government at that time, and he didn't have much time to take care of him, so he would be reduced to the point of becoming a street gangster.
However, Secretary Li already had a certain status and relationship at that time, so for the sake of Azu's good, he asked someone to send him to be a soldier.
It's just that even after entering the army, some of Azu's bad problems have been developed, and after returning from the army for two years, he is still idle and has no serious work.
Secretary Li couldn't bear to see him degenerate like this, so he found his friend who was doing business in Yunnan Province and introduced Azu to the past, hoping that Azu could learn some skills behind his friend.
Azu therefore followed Secretary Li's friend to Yunnan Province.
As for how Azu became a mercenary, and how he became famous in Southeast Asia with a group of brothers, it can only be said that everyone has their own experience.
Originally, Azu and a group of brothers mixed well in Southeast Asia, helping local warlords to fight and train the army, and lived a chic life, even the regular armies of several local countries were not taken into their eyes.
Although they can't beat them, they can't help them.
Living like this, although there is no future, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, they are mercenaries, maybe they will die one day, and they don't have so much to think about the future.
But by chance, Azu came into contact with a doomsday sect.
The core doctrine of this sect is not complicated, and it preaches freedom and happiness, which is not problematic at first glance, but their interpretation of freedom is very evil.
According to the doctrine of this sect, true freedom cannot be bound by anything, all morals, legal systems and rulers, they are only the shackles that oppress and restrict freedom, and only when the end comes, breaking all these constraints, can we win true freedom.
This kind of talk is pure fart in the eyes of any normal person, and there is no so-called absolute freedom in this world, because people living in this world will always be affected and restricted by other factors, and it is impossible to do what they want.
And you do what you want, what about the others?
To take the simplest example, if you want to roll on the street as much as you want, and others want to drag on the street as much as they want, if there are no rules, someone else will inevitably drive over your head.
Therefore, the existence of rules and constraints is necessary, and the ultimate result of unfettered freedom can only be destruction.
But this kind of is very good for lawless people like mercenaries, and even speaks to the hearts of this group of people.
As a result, Azu and his brothers also believed in this doomsday sect, and became more and more lawless, and even the regular armies of Southeast Asian countries became more and more disregardful.
Originally, it was nothing if everything continued to develop like this, either Azu and they were surrounded and killed on the battlefield by the regular army one day, or they made enough money and couldn't move and chose to retire, or they were bewitched by the doomsday sect and became cultists.
However, the arrival of meteorites disrupted all this, and under the threat of doomsday disasters, no country in the whole of Southeast Asia could control the situation, and everything was a mess.
Under the collapse of order, this should have been the era of freedom preached by the Doomsday Sect, but that sect was just a tool for the sect's top brass to collect money under such a banner, and under this real doomsday disaster, the sect's top brass itself collapsed.
Azu was obviously disappointed by this situation, and after killing all the collapsed sect leaders, Azu and the others were also confused about what to do.
In the end, an old brother proposed to go back to his hometown, Azu and they found the goal and direction, a group of people used the money accumulated over the years and some relationships and connections, through the border of Yunnan Province into the Yan country, after several tosses, this returned to the hometown of Xiang Province.
Because Azu's gang has household registration in the Yan country, and they don't use their real identities as mercenaries in Southeast Asia, so on the surface, they are just a group of normal Yan nationals who have returned from Southeast Asia, so naturally there is no identity problem.
In addition, they entered the country through regular channels and did not carry dangerous goods, so the entry of their group did not cause any trouble and waves.
Returned to his hometown in Hunan Province, before the apocalyptic natural disaster, even the lawless mercenaries were much more honest, did not cause any trouble and riots, and entered the small shelter of his hometown very smoothly.
As mentioned earlier, the living conditions of this small shelter are far from very good, at first because of the threat of natural disasters, this group of people was able to endure, but with the stability of the external environment and the harsh living environment, some thoughts in the hearts of these mercenaries gradually breeded.
With the help of the methods learned from the Doomsday Sect, Azu and the others began to spread the teachings of the Doomsday Sect in the small shelters, and with the help of kinship, they quickly turned hundreds of people in the vaults into believers, and spread the faith to several small shelters at the village level in the neighborhood.
For this group of mercenaries who have been mixed in Southeast Asia for a long time, the chaotic times of the end of the world are simply the best environment for them, coupled with the teachings of the Doomsday Sect, they can easily gain a large number of loyal believers, and the elite of them are strictly trained and mentally controlled by them, becoming elite "cannon fodder" who are not afraid of death.
This is also the reason why when attacking the No. 2 shelter in Baling County and the city government shelter, they were able to play such a method as suicide attacks, because they had "dead soldiers" under them.
However, it is not easy to cultivate this group of "dead soldiers", if it were not for the realization of his plan, Azu would not have consumed his subordinates so much.
Now that his basic purpose has been achieved, it's time to think about the next move.
"Fourth, how is the situation of the shelter that made you stare at before?" Azu looked at one of his brothers and asked him.
This person, known as the fourth child, is in charge of intelligence and monitoring in their team of mercenaries, and when he heard Azu ask about the shelter, he replied: "It's basically the same as before, there is no movement, it's still the same as before, there are two female policemen who live in it, and they basically haven't been out during this time."
Only two days ago, when we were doing it, a group of people came, and then they drove out, and the car was modified to drive normally on the snow, and this technique is very useful, and we should have it in our hands. ”
After listening to the fourth child's report, Azu's eyebrows couldn't help but raise: "A car that can drive normally on the snow?" It seems that the people living in that shelter are not ordinary! We need this man for our cause. ”
As a mercenary, even if you don't understand the technical content of driving normally in the snow, you understand what mobility means in military operations.
"But that shelter is not easy to fight, I have seen his door, even if there are rocket launchers, it is difficult to enter, as long as the other party does not open the door, we can't do anything about him." Of course, the fourth child knew the meaning of the shelter they were talking about, but the problem was that it was indeed a difficult bone to gnaw, as if he was afraid that Azu would not understand, and he added: "We have been observing that shelter for several months, and there is a cart of vegetables every month, which is enough to prove that the other party does not have to worry about eating and drinking, and in the case of not breaking the door, the other party can afford it, and we can't afford it." ”
"So you have to fight quickly, take advantage of the other party's opening the door or going out, quickly attack, and control the people in that shelter." Of course, Azu understood what the fourth child meant, but he didn't care, he was just an ordinary person and two female policemen, even if he had a gun, how could he do it better than his brother and a group of trained dead soldiers?
