Chapter 288: Chaos in the Gathering Place
The rest was simple, after the defenders had dealt with the remaining dozen or so Blackthorn infected, they began to clean up the elite infectates and thousands of ordinary infectates trapped under the city walls, and it took about half an hour to clean them all up.
After cleaning up the infestation, the warriors began to clean up the battlefield, removing the corpses and empty ammunition boxes left on the walls one by one, and disposing of the corpses of the infected under the walls, so as to make more space to prepare for the next battle.
Soldiers who are scratched by infected bodies explain to their familiar comrades what they can't let go or say their final goodbyes, because they know they are dying......
Lu Jun and Goshawk were not idle, they took advantage of the time to clean up the battlefield and collected almost all the corpse crystals of mutated infected people, and they also collected a lot of ordinary infected people.
Ruan Bing wanders the battlefield, using her abilities to quietly collect the souls of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, and these souls can take her strength to the next level.
Although it is a bit inhumane to do so, even if she doesn't collect them, these souls will dissipate after a certain period of time, and if they are collected, it will not only improve her strength, but also allow these warriors to live in another way, without harm.
In total, the battle gathering side eliminated about 60,000 ordinary infected, hundreds of Blackthorn infected, and elite infected, as well as two double-hammer infected, close to half the strength of the infected group.
But the price paid at the gathering place was also terrible, more than a thousand regular troops were killed, more than a hundred were wounded, a colonel-level commander was killed, not to mention the casualties of junior officers.
The loss of materials is even more terrifying, nearly 800,000 rounds of ammunition of all kinds have been consumed, all the incendiary bombs have been emptied, and the loss of some guns and city walls has not yet been counted.
And this is only the first half of the battle, at night the infected group will launch a real general attack, when the time comes, under the cover of darkness, the incoming infected group will inevitably be more ferocious, it is difficult to imagine how much the gathering place will have to pay to really win this siege battle......
But these are not the things that the road army cares about, let the high-level management of the gathering place have a headache, or that sentence, if you can hold the road army, help guard it, and by the way, complete the real-time task to get a reward, if you can't keep it, he will slip away.
After cleaning up the battlefield almost, Lu Jun, Ruan Bing and Goshawk left the city wall and came to the preparation area, where there are now too many people to count, and there are still many people in the logistics corps here.
After coming to a quieter place, Lu Jun immediately said to Ruan Bing, "You stay here and see what the military plans next, I still have to go to the goshawk to get some things, and I'll come to you when I'm done." ”
"In addition, you'd better inform the people of your consortium to be ready to break the city, because I don't know if I can hold it tonight, and if something happens, a little preparation won't cause too much loss."
Although Lu Jun felt that the gathering place had a high probability of being able to defend against the attack of the infected body tonight, he still reminded Ruan Bing, after all, no one can say for sure that there is such a thing, Ruan Bing and her family have a big business, and it is always right to prepare in advance.
After hearing Lu Jun's reminder, Ruan Bing nodded, signaling that she knew, and then immediately used the walkie-talkie to contact Gu Feng and explain the things that needed attention.
Seeing this, the road army didn't stop much, and left the preparation area with the goshawk, got into the off-road vehicle they drove before, and drove all the way to the black market of the goshawk.
He was going to get his goods, and it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was estimated that Goshawk's men had already prepared what he needed.
Along the way, the road army saw many survivors running towards the other gate of the gathering place with large bags and small bags on their backs, as if they wanted to leave the gathering place through the other gate.
After all, the movement of the infected body this time was too big, and the gunfire at the city gate had not stopped since noon, which scared many people stupidly, and they were afraid that the gathering place would be broken by the infected body and trap them, so they wanted to leave here quickly.
But these people don't want to think about where they can go without vehicles, without weapons, and without the gathering place. In the last days, there are some troubles that cannot be avoided, and you can only keep strengthening yourself and try to solve the troubles, instead of thinking about how to escape all day long......
There were also some people who saw that the military was paying attention to the city gate, thinking that the gathering place was going to be in chaos, and began to take the opportunity to grab resources, weapons, and vehicles, preparing to grab a sum of supplies and then flee the gathering place and go out to live the life of the emperor of the soil.
However, the patrol team in the gathering place is not vegetarian, once they encounter this kind of person who takes advantage of the chaos to make trouble, they will shoot directly, and they will kill all of them, and it is useless to even kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
After all, the impact of these people is too bad, and in troubled times, we must use heavy codes to kill these people to warn the people around them, otherwise the 600,000 people in the gathering place will start to make trouble, and then it will be ......
But even in this case, there was chaos in the gathering place, like a plate of scattered sand, with black smoke rising and gunshots constantly rising from places.
The road army began to feel sorry for the defenders at the city walls, because they were fighting hard outside, but they were protecting a group of people who did not deserve protection.
There are also those warriors who died defending the city, their death is not worth it, they could have lived longer than this group of people, but they put their lives on the line to protect a group of irrelevant people, and they have not exchanged for the peace of the gathering place......
But these are just Lu Jun's personal thoughts, not necessarily right, everyone has their own choices, and they have to pay the price for their choices, as long as they don't regret it.
With the passage of time, under the rapid driving of the goshawk, they soon came to the gate of the black market, and when they saw that it was almost there, the road army immediately put away their thoughts.
But at this time, the entrance of the black market was different from the past, and there were seventy or eighty people gathered here, and it was impossible to see what these people were doing for the time being.
More than 20 of the goshawk's subordinates were standing in a row at the entrance of the black market, excitedly confronting and arguing with these seventy or eighty people, arguing, and pushing from time to time, and a few of the goshawk's subordinates stayed aside with their faces covered in blood, as if something had happened before.
"What's wrong?!" Seeing that the situation was not right, the goshawk immediately stopped the off-road vehicle, opened the door and shouted.
When the goshawk's subordinates saw that the goshawk was back, their faces were overjoyed, and one of the subordinates immediately said excitedly, "Boss! After you left, we explained that the black market was temporarily closed, but they still rushed in, and we stopped them, but they not only beat our people, but also grabbed our guns......"
