Chapter 478: The Gate of the Kingdom (2)
So, for the first time, the knowledge that the mecha department had learned in training about camping came in handy, although they didn't bring many tents from the school, but if it was several people squeezed into one, it was still enough.
It's just that they all know that this situation can't last long, although the tent is just a tent, their march will last at least a month, and a few people will sleep in the tent for a month, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the body collapses.
After An Xiaoyu left, Xu Hewei and Wei Qingxuan obviously took over the command of the entire student camp, first moving all the tents out of the plane, and then counting the heads and then grouping them, dividing the mecha department and ordinary students into several groups with the same number of people, and distributing tents.
The students of the mecha department were naturally familiar with the road and quickly set up their tents, but the other students did not have such skilled skills.
Maybe some of them have participated in camping, but obviously military tents are more difficult to deal with than civilian tents, so these ordinary students are busy in the corner, but they are busy for almost an hour, and there is not a single qualified tent to put up.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, the anxiety began to spread among the crowd, Wei Qingxuan began to order the sophomore students to disperse to teach these students the basics and setting up tents, while Xu Hewei divided the first-year students into two parts.
Some of the first-year mecha students left the camp and went to the town to seek a way to buy food after Ran Ye's permission, most of the students in this team were worth a lot of money, either the children of the family or the children of the rich, and naturally they had enough money with them.
As for the other team, Xu Hewei selected the children of military families who could speak well and have insight, and took them to Su Pi's camp, wanting to negotiate with them, make some negotiations, or exchange some conditions for tools or food.
Ran Ye agreed to Xu Hewei's arrangement, and the two teams left in everyone's hopeful eyes and went to the town and camp to solve their dinner problems at night.
It didn't take long for the students who went to the town to buy food to return home, and there were two main reasons for not getting anything, one was because they saw that there was not enough food in the town, and many families did not fire at night, and the other died after finding a few families who seemed to be relatively wealthy, and found that they did not understand the language.
The problem of language barrier is something they didn't expect, in their consciousness, all the citizens of the empire, even the aliens, can speak the lingua franca of the main road, this is the language that has been passed down since I don't know when, everyone speaks it, why can't anyone still speak it?
But there are people in this world who have never learned the lingua franca of the main road, and they don't know what the universal is, and the town where they are located is such a place.
At this time, with the help of the sophomore students of the mecha department, all the tents were already qualified, although it seemed a little unacceptable for maybe five or six or even six or seven people to be crammed into a tent, but compared to the already hungry stomach, this was no longer a problem for them.
The problems they had talked about on the plane had become a reality, and those who had said they were going to the city to buy supplies began to despair when they got a map of the nearby area, and some people tried to communicate with the people in the town, only to find that they still did not understand the language.
In order to save physical strength and prevent the possibility of going without food all night, Ran Ye began to prohibit them from moving around at will, everyone sat in front of the tent, the sophomore of the mecha department took firewood from the nearby forest, and several tent people set up a pile and lit a fire.
Of course, some people are still fantasizing, proposing to go to the town to buy and sell, thinking that as long as they leave more money than the value of food, there is no moral burden.
At this time, some people retorted that in the border towns, food is likely to represent life, and if they rashly buy it, they may rob the family of a month's food rations, and these rations represent their lives.
Soon after the forced purchase turmoil passed, some people proposed to hunt in the surrounding mountains and forests, and this idea probably came from the programs they usually watched about survival in the wild.
Soon, this idea was also completely disillusioned.
Wei Qingxuan said directly that they had already explored when they went to the side to collect dry firewood just now, and there did not seem to be any traces of wild beasts in the mountains and forests, not even traces of a long time ago, and it was estimated that this area of mountains and forests had been cleared by the people in the barracks.
Then some people began to scold their mother, scolding Su Pi for her indifference and ruthlessness, and under such a drive, all people began to have a kind of resistance. Gradually, the target of this resistance was shifted from Su Pi to the barracks and then to the entire border.
Some people even began to regret and say, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come with me!" Do you want to come and wait for death? What the hell do you guys think? Didn't you make any plans before you came? Now there is no food, and several people have to be crowded together at night, who can withstand such a life? ”
For such remarks, Ran Ye and Wei Qingxuan were both cold-eyed, because they knew that such emotions would gradually begin to disappear and be gradually replaced by greater panic, and in any predicament, people would always find the uselessness of complaining faster.
Of course, there are also people who can't find out and still complain, so this person is probably not saved, and he became the first person to be brushed down on this trip.
At this time, An Xiaoyu came to the depths of the barracks, under the cover of the fluctuation of the avenue, came to the core of the patrol camp, came to the outside of Su Pi's temporary command post, and stood at the window listening to Su Pi being answering the phone.
“…… Well, yes...... They didn't make trouble, right...... I've just been here, and I've done what the chief has ordered, what kind of emotions? There is no emotion, and all the people who come over look like old fritters...... Inside the camp...... The camp was fine, they were all starving, and there was no trouble, and occasionally people scolded the streets...... Okay, my subordinates understand......"
An Xiaoyu was not interested in listening to what was going on on the other end of the phone with her feelings, she just wanted to know if there was a higher-level person behind this matter who was in control, and now that the truth had been determined, she had a little bottom in her heart, and after glancing at the military base in the ravine, she turned around and left the command post.
Xu Hewei's return brought hope back to the student camp, and they carried a variety of military supplies in their hands, mainly some food and tools, including sapper shovels and daggers, and some tools such as saws and axes.
It seems that Xu He is ready to build his own house, although it sounds very difficult, but it is still feasible to build a wooden house that supports a month or two of time, the requirements are not so strict, after all, it is winter, and the ground is hard and does not need too deep foundations, and it can be abolished in the spring before tomorrow.
After distributing the food and daggers they had brought back to everyone, informing all the ordinary students of the rules for the use of weapons, and strictly refusing to use knives, they let the hungry go back to eat themselves.
Xu Hewei, Wei Qingxuan and the two leading teachers sat next to a fire, broke the energy bar, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, Xu Hewei said: "Although Su Pi was reluctant, he still managed to deal with us for one night, which is also reasonable, in our prediction." ”
Wei Qingxuan glanced back at the student camp that had already started to eat, and no one scolded the street anymore, and said with a smile: "It's better to pacify them first, it seems that this time is indeed a problem, the clothes and weapons we brought are only enough for the daily use of the students of the mecha department, it seems that they still need to solve it themselves." ”
Xu He didn't care: "Is there any problem to solve by yourself?" Don't we need to solve it ourselves now, can't they solve it, and the mecha department will take care of them forever? Now that I am not familiar with life, no one is having a good time, I don't care if I don't see An Xiaoyu? ”
However, Ran Ye still said: "An Xiaoyu's attitude is An Xiaoyu's attitude, since we brought them here, we still have to be responsible for bringing them back, at least don't let any of them have an accident, if it goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid something will happen." ”
Xu Hewei laughed: "Teacher, you worry too much, I have seen a lot of such situations, it is inevitable that I will be a little resistant when I first come here, and when I have nothing to do, I must be cranky in my heart and have no head, I think Su Pi will arrange tasks for us tomorrow, and when they are busy, they will have no time to complain." ”
Another class instructor also nodded and said: "I think so too, and most of these students will be assigned to the logistics or engineering team, and when the time comes, the veteran soldiers in the barracks will lead the team, and their situation will be much better than ours." ”
When he said this, Wei Qingxuan's face became serious: "What, you just went to the patrol camp, did you inquire about their arrangements for us?" ”
Xu Hewei put the wrapping paper of the energy bar into the fire, and the plastic wrapping paper instantly turned into a dazzling fire, he stared at the fire and said: "I haven't heard about it, I'm afraid Su Pi hasn't revealed it until now, but since it is to support the border military camp, we reserves will definitely follow the mission." ”
It seems that he doesn't pay attention to the matter of the mission, Wei Qingxuan said: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is their control of information, the news we got here is still too simple, and I thought it was very clear before, but after I arrived at the border, I felt confused, so is there an awakening beast here?" That's what worries me the most. ”
"If you wake up to the beast, there's one." A string of footsteps came, and Wei Qingxuan and the four of them all looked in the direction An Xiaoyu was coming from, and their faces were a little lighter.
"What are you going to do?" Wei Qingxuan asked.
An Xiaoyu sat next to them and said half-truthfully: "Listening to the enemy's situation, I found that there is an awakened beast, and within a radius of about a few hundred kilometers, there is only this awakened beast. ”
"Then we're really lucky." Xu Hewei said with a smile, but there was really some bitterness in his smile.
Although they went to the border to support at the critical moment when the star energy appeared, the last thing they wanted to encounter was something like the Awakened Beast.
Such a monster, even the regular troops and mecha troops may not be sure that they will be able to escape when they encounter it, let alone these students who have not yet undergone a complete training course? Even if he has a knife and a gun in his hand, he is still powerless when facing the Awakened Beast.
And like Xu He said, they are really lucky.
The number of star energy in the entire empire is about two thousand, and the human beings account for about one thousand and five, and now the number controlled by the empire is about one thousand and twenty-three, and the awakened beasts account for about five or six hundred. In such a large area of the Eastern Wilderness, An Xiaoyu also found more than a dozen units of star energy and a tenth-level glutinous rice, and it is conceivable that the density of the awakened beast is still very sparse.
In addition, the western border has just recently killed a level 10 bobcat, and the battle between the awakened beasts has intensified, in fact, there are not many places on the border where they can encounter the awakening book, and they just happened to be in such a first place, or can it really be said that they are lucky.
An Xiaoyu smiled and said indifferently: "Deliberately." ”
Sure enough, the other four people's hearts immediately thought of it.
In fact, they have all realized that since there are awakened beasts around this base, if someone is not deliberately trying to harm them, or someone has deliberately planted them here as a pawn, and this person can obviously only be Pei Hu.
Wei Qingxuan and Xu Hewei began to have some calculations in their hearts.
Since Pei Hu has placed them here, it is obviously for a purpose, and this purpose will eventually fall on An Xiaoyu's body, it seems that Pei Hu is planning to let An Xiaoyu solve the awakened beasts here, disrupt the situation in the entire base, and then take the opportunity to rectify it?
They can all see that this is an opportunity for Pei Hu to give their mecha department, if the students of the mecha department play a little role in this sniping against the awakened beast and the rectification of the border base, even if it is a little role, Pei Hu will turn them into a glorious image of the heroes who protect the country.
But behind such huge returns, of course, there are also huge risks.
Whether it was an awakened beast or a military base, these were beyond their reach before, Wei Qingxuan and Xu Hewei knew in their hearts that if the entire team was someone like them or Leng Yan, maybe this mission would be much easier, but although the students of the mecha department were all elites, they still had a gap with the most cutting-edge talents after all, which was caused by insufficient experience and learning process, and there was no way to solve it now.
Seeing the two of them frowning, An Xiaoyu just smiled: "This time, I am only responsible for solving the awakening beast and the base, and for the rest, I think Principal Zuoqiu will also be happy for me to be so free-range, I don't think you need to take the lead in everything, maybe we will patrol in groups starting tomorrow, and then you and I will be in a group and act separately from other groups." ”
Wei Qingxuan and Xu Hewei looked at An Xiaoyu in some surprise, they didn't know what news she heard from Zuoqiu Zhizuo or Pei Hu, and they didn't know what information she got during the period of time she disappeared just now, but this free-range model is really suitable for a group of students?
The two of them silently looked at the people behind them, their tired faces reflected in the firelight, the students of the mecha department had already started to study on their own after eating quickly, while the students of other majors did not even want to move, full of confusion about their future lives.
In particular, the 3000 Academy also requires that any student who goes to the border to support must study the corresponding courses on their own, and the support action can be appropriately added, but if the results of the cultural class are still not satisfactory in the final exam, they must still be dealt with in accordance with the corresponding regulations.
An Xiaoyu naturally doesn't need to worry, but the others are different, now even the prickly trio are honestly reading books, trying to finish the lessons that should be carried out before all the lights go out according to the progress of the class schedule, which shows that the pressure of the new teaching plan still exists.
As for those who have completely destroyed their hopes and dreams in their hearts because they have just arrived at their destination, it is Wei Qingxuan and Xu He who are most worried, if they are free-range, let this emotion continue to spread, I don't know how many people will be left when they return to school.
An Xiaoyu saw their worries and said, "To be honest, other majors are still easier than the study of the mecha department, even if a new teaching plan is added, can they still be martyred?" In the past, it wasn't just a month of crazy study at the end of the semester, but now it's at most two months of crazy study. It's been exactly two months since I got back here. ”
Seeing what Xu He wanted to say, An Xiaoyu hurriedly interrupted and said, "Don't tell me that two months of study is too hard, after walking out of here, do you think those who still feel hard, is it worth cultivating them in the Three Thousand Academy?" ”
Xu He opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it.
So the matter was settled, and before resting, tomorrow's mission plan was also transmitted from Su Pi's side to Ranye's terminal, and it was announced before going to bed.
Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, the students of the mecha department will be divided into groups of three, led by five local garrisons, accompanied by an engineer and a scientific researcher into the mountains to patrol and carry out daily tasks, in groups of ten, and the formation is relatively standard.
As for the weapon pills, when they are divided into groups in the morning, they are collected according to the group and the head, and everyone needs to register. The specific patrol route and work content of the task are assigned according to the specific tasks performed by the group, and the corresponding road map and work content will be issued at that time.
As for students from other majors other than the mecha department, according to different majors, they will register and then look for engineering positions in the corresponding majors as apprentices, and all the rest will be assigned to the logistics formation to do miscellaneous work, and some people will be assigned to infrastructure positions in the town.
Of course, people from other majors don't need to get up at five o'clock, but they also have to assemble on time at half past six and start distributing at seven o'clock.
Such a task assignment is decent, An Xiaoyu didn't say anything, the people in the mecha department naturally have no opinion, and the students of other majors don't have any passion because of fatigue and bad mood, and they just want to sleep after eating, and they don't have the strength to scold.
So the lights went out on time, and everyone was crammed into the tent and struggled to sleep. An Xiaoyu sat on top of a high sentry tower, looking at the base hidden in the mountains and forests at night, and felt a little emotional.
This is the country.
