Section 248 Strongholds

"No, no ......"

Facing Chen Xing's greeting, Jin Chengen hurriedly shook his head and denied it.

"Why?" Chen Xing frowned slightly and asked.

"I, I thought ......" Because of nervousness, Kim Seung-eun's voice stammered a little, "You, you don't dare to chase after you......"

"Hmm......" Chen Xing thought about it and felt that Kim Seung-eun should not be lying. After all, there are more than forty people on the other side, and they are acting very lax, unlike the current reaction of the great enemy. Since there is no danger felt, there is no call for help.

Then, a glimmer of light flashed in Chen Xing's eyes, and he asked, "What do you think......" He paused, and his tone became meaningful, "How much money will your family pay to redeem your life?" ”

Since ancient times, it has been customary for the nobility to pay ransom for important prisoners of war. Anyway, he is from Qingguo, even if he can go back in the future, he will not go to Qingguo, and he is not afraid of offending the gate valve family over there.

"I, I ......" Kim Seung-eun's expression was gloomy, and he opened his mouth several times before he said it, "I have been abandoned by my father." ”

Chen Xing didn't say a word, pulled out the silver star and pointed at Jin Chengen's head, "Then goodbye." His voice was flat, like he was talking about a trivial matter, but the deterrence was amazing. The pampered Jin Dashao suddenly trembled, slumped to the ground, and shouted, "Don't, don't kill me, father, father said, yes, will help me once!" ”

"How can I help?" Chen Xing asked.

"He, he said he would find a way to airdrop me once, once supplies." Kim Seung-eun said holding his head.

"How much?" Chen Xing asked.

"No, I don't know, but there must be money, medicine, everything......" Jin Chengen raised his head and said hurriedly, for fear that Chen Xing would not believe it, and explained desperately, "I am the youngest son in the family, and my father will definitely not ignore me." ”

"Then you send a message now, don't play tricks, or I'll kill you with one shot." Chen Xing raised the silver pistol in his hand and threatened.

"No, no, don't worry, it will never ......" Kim Seung-eun said with an oath, got up, threw himself next to the dark web communicator, and unscrewed the power switch.

The green power light flashed a few times and turned evergreen, and then a green light shone on Kim Seung-eun's body, scanning it back and forth three times. Immediately after, the screen in the middle lit up, revealing lines of small green text word by word, like an old computer.

[Identity has been verified, customer number 118902]

[Location: Black Death Continent 27, coordinates......]

[Welcome to the World Money Exchange Network Emergency Communication System]

[Please enter the correspondence number and information in the format of "Target customer number # information content"]

Underneath is a flickering cursor. There is a waterproof keyboard at the bottom of the screen, and Kim Seung-eun's fingers tremble to operate it. Chen Xing stretched out the muzzle of his gun and pressed against the former's head to prevent the other party from playing tricks when input.

[117406# Father, I need supplies, please arrange an airdrop as soon as possible, the code is five gunshots]

Kim Seung-eun pressed the enter key, and the words "message sent successfully" were quickly displayed on the screen.

"How long will it take?" Chen Xing asked.

"The most, the fastest three days." Kim Seung-eun replied in a trembling voice.

"Good." Chen Xing put away the silver star, and then asked the ghost fox and the big cat to press the captives in and guard them in the cave.

"Be honest, I don't like to kill, don't force me." Chen Xing warned. The captives nodded quickly, indicating that they would be safe.

For the rest of the time, Chen Xing had been waiting for the airdrop. But three days have passed, and there is still no shadow of the floating boat, so I asked Jin Chengen to ask. Kim Seung-eun swore and assured that his father would definitely arrange the airdrop, but it would take time to bribe the officials of the floatboat.

On the morning of the fifth day, a float boat finally flew overhead. Between the clouds, the float is like a small black dot that is difficult to spot with the naked eye. After a while, the float lowered its altitude. The large propeller behind the tail turned, slowly moving forward.

Chen Xing pulled out the silver star and fired five shots. Immediately, a small door opened in the pod under the floatboat, and a large wooden box was pushed down. The box with a parachute fluttered in the wind and ended up landing a few kilometers away.

Chen Xing and the ghost fox guarded the captives and asked the big cat and Wu Jinjian to go over and move the boxes. Half an hour later, the box was brought back by the two. Pry it open and take a look, there are still a lot of good things.

There are two Commando sniper assault rifles wrapped in oilcloth. This is the standard weapon of the Qingguo Mountain Guard, manufactured by Chongshan Industry, and the barrel is made of ordinary alloy, which is more durable. Equipped with a triple non-reflective sniper scope, the body of the gun is engraved with the standard rune circuit "Xuanwu", the energy storage speed is increased by 15%, the penetration damage is increased by 8%, the ballistic accuracy is increased by 10%, and the market value is more than 900 gold coins.

Then there was a large bundle of gold bars, estimated to be worth tens of thousands of gold coins. There are also various firearms, medicines, bullets, grenades, military rations. A whole big box, stuffed to the brim.

"Seriously, I envy you......" Chen Xing patted Jin Chengen on the shoulder and sighed, "You have a good father." The latter's eyes sparkled with tears.

Subsequently, Chen Xing divided the materials into two parts. Military rations, grenades, and ammunition, which were relatively low in value and heavy in weight, were left behind, and empty guns were left on the captives' backs, and then their hands were tied with ropes and strung together into a long snake, which was escorted by Big Cat and Wu Jinjian behind.

Chen Xing divided the two Commandos between the two, and M4 took them back.

Three days later, Chen Xing and the four escorted the captives, returned triumphantly, and returned to the No. 27 safety station. Kim Seung-eun and his entourage regained their freedom, did not dare to say anything, and slid away from the crowd, hiding in the corner of the rest and dining area to gobble up. During the time I was a prisoner, I couldn't eat or sleep well, and I had to do coolies to carry things, which was really miserable.

As soon as Chen Xing had written the sign for recruiters, a group of exiles couldn't wait to join.

"Boss, we'll mess with you in the future." "Boss, you must take me, I'm a brawler, and I have second-level psionic armor." "Boss, I'm an assaulter, an intermediate precision shooter, and I have a scar from Westwood Industries." "I'm a cook, a Chinese and Western food club, and my best thing is tomato ramen." "I'm a medic soldier, intermediate battlefield first aid, don't look at me as a man, I'm very careful."

Considering the current economic situation, Chen Xing only recruited thirty-one people. Originally, he had more than 2,000 gold coins on him, plus the bundle of gold bars that Jin Chengen carried with him, a total of more than 27,000. Divided two thousand each to the big cat, ghost fox and Wu Jinjian, and there were more than 21,000 left.

The salary of the personnel is the same as that of the mercenaries in the Red Earth Continent, depending on the type of troops, 12~18 gold per person per month, 20~25 gold for the squad leader, and all board and lodging.

Thirty-one people were divided into three squads, two combat squads and one logistics squad, each with about ten people. The big cat and the ghost fox led the combat team, and Wu Jinjian led the logistics team.

After recruiting personnel and training for seven days, Chen Xing led the team to the cave where Kim Chengen was before. The terrain is complex, there are dangers to defend, and there are water sources, which is a good place to occupy the mountains.

Since they did not have a vehicle, they purchased five improvised rickshaws to deliver supplies at the security station. The supplies included all kinds of grain, bacon, compressed vegetables, dried fruits, as well as buckets and cups, cooking utensils, bedding tents, sapper shovels, and so on.

After six days of trekking, stopping, moving, lifting, and lifting, we finally arrived at our destination. After setting up the sentry patrol, Chen Xing immediately arranged manpower to dig the passage day and night. Half a month later, the area of the cave was expanded by five or six times, and two escape tunnels were dug. One leads to the south side of the foot of the mountain and one leads to the north side. Several vents were also dug out, and there was a faint airflow in the hole.

After a while, at the end of October, when the weather began to cool, the construction of the base was finally completed.

The cave is divided into three areas, a rest area, a granary, a dormitory, a kitchen is located outside the cave, and an ammunition depot is located on the other side of the mountain.

Then three lookout posts were set up and built with stones, one on the top of the hill above the stronghold, and the other two on the hill next to it, forming a triangular trend, and they were on duty 24 hours a day. There is also a three-member patrol that patrols the surrounding area.

A large puddle was dug in the spring of the mountain spring, and a plastic pipe bought by the safety was used to lead it to the hole, and it was considered to have tap water.

During this period, Chen Xing sent Wu Jinjian back to the No. 27 Survival Center to transport supplies twice. Three heavy machine guns and two Hummer 84mm rocket launchers, more than a dozen boxes of machine gun shells and several blasting rockets were purchased.

Heavy machine guns are assigned to lookout posts, and bazookas are used by big cats and a heavily armed support man named Lu Yan.

Over time, a well-organized stronghold was formed. I have to say that Chen Xing's management ability is still good. In the first life, although he was a small clerk, he was also promoted to manager, but he didn't work long before he crossed inexplicably. In the second life, he was the captain of the squad, and there were more than a dozen people under him. In this third life, the water station has been operating for more than half a year, managing the food, clothing, housing and transportation of thousands of people, and it is quite competent.

In mid-November, an exile ran to the foot of the mountain, waving a small flag painted with colored stars, asking to see the leader of the colony.

In the Red Clay World, the six-coloured star flag is the flag of the Human Survival Council, representing peace and negotiation. Despite the graffiti in a white vest, it is also a friendly olive branch.

Chen Xing met the exile at the foot of the mountain, who advertised himself as an envoy of the "Gray Pigeon Regiment", based on the other side of the mountain, more than ten kilometers away. On behalf of the head of the Grey Pigeon Regiment, he extended his greetings to Master Chen, hoping that the forces of the 27th District, who are also in the 27th District, will be able to help each other in the future.

Since he often had to go back and forth to the security station to buy supplies, Chen Xing didn't expect to be hidden here for long. But I didn't expect to be noticed so quickly.

When asked about the name of the team, Chen Xing casually said "master group". Since then, it has become the official title of the team.

The envoy of the Grey Pigeon Regiment brought a box of tobacco and a delicate pipe to Chen Xing as a gift. After Chen Xing accepted it, he asked Wu Jinjian to prepare some supplies and bring a few people back with the envoys. On the one hand, it is a return gift, and on the other hand, it is to scout the other party.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. The neighbors of this land can be friends or beasts lurking around them.

The envoy naturally did not refuse, rested for a while, and left with Wu Jinjian and others.
