Chapter 1114: Darkness as Light (2)
"Do you think these aliens still feel that they are not exposed at all?" A faint voice rang out from the quiet surveillance room.
The other guards were also a little silent, they were all ordinary members of the guard team in Windy City, and they didn't have much to do in normal times, but they had a hand in checking the surveillance. After all, they usually look at the monitoring all day long, and there is nothing else to do.
In a functional city like the Windy City, the people working in this kind of basic department are all argumentative. Because there was no suitable living environment here, the Empire did not force staff to settle here, and it was certainly not possible to recruit guards among the local citizens.
Like these people, they are all transferred from the garrisons around the empire, or they are not happy with their work, and they are sent here to retire, just like Miao Yu. Or if you lack qualifications and want to be promoted quickly, come and work for a few years to show loyalty, and then transfer for promotion.
In addition to these, most of them are ordinary job transfers, and they are more unlucky, so they are sent to Windy City, more are recent graduates of the police academy, and the rest are some police officers who have little concern. These people's daily work is to watch the monitoring on the screen.
Except for some people who go out on duty, the rest rely on monitoring to watch the situation of the entire city, after all, the garrison can't just patrol around all day like a security guard, right? So after so many years of experienced monitoring staff checking and filling in the gaps, there are almost no loopholes in the monitoring of Windy City.
Now they were all looking at the last few surveillance screens that had been tuned to the large central screen, showing some strange-looking creatures. Of course they know that this is an alien race, although they don't know what race it is, but it's not human after all.
These aliens can either hide in the shadows and probe their brains, or they can fly quietly in the air, clinging to the walls and pretending to be peeling wall skins, or they can shuttle through the pipes, or they can walk the streets as ordinary people.
But ever since they entered the Windy City, they had been watched by the guards. And the funniest thing is that these aliens seem to feel that their methods are so good that they have not been discovered at all. The guards in the entire monitoring room are a little speechless, don't these aliens know the surveillance?
In fact, it's not that they don't know about surveillance, it's just that the last time the alien race invaded the empire, the level of science and technology of humans at that time was far from that high. Science and technology is originally a process of accumulation, the later the development of the faster, a thousand years ago and two thousand years ago compared or the difference is not so big, but a thousand years later, today, it makes these alien races scratch their heads at all.
A thousand years ago, surveillance was still a camera mounted on the wall, or it was more autonomous, but it was not separated from the concept of a camera. However, the current monitoring system has completely become some small round holes in the wall, and there is no protrusion at all.
This kind of surveillance camera is already a very common civilian infrastructure, through the ultra-wide-angle camera and superb image processing program, it is possible to perfectly transmit the scene of the scene through such a traceless surveillance, the monitoring range is wide, and the picture quality is also higher.
So these infiltrated aliens are still wondering, didn't they say that the human empire is all surveillance cameras? Why have we been lurking for so long and haven't seen anything? What's on the wall? In addition to the windows being the wall skins, there are also some weird little black dots, which must be left over from the construction of the house, right?
They subconsciously applied their experience of survival in alien territory to the inhabitants of the Empire, thinking that the black circles were like the wooden scaffolding holes they often left in the walls when building houses, and they didn't care at all.
The guards in the monitoring room were a little unbearable, and someone suggested, "Captain, do you want us to go out and control them?" If these aliens are allowed to do something in the Windy City, the whole city will be in chaos by then. ”
Miao Yu glared at the man fiercely and said, "What are you talking about!" It's enough for you to take care of these guys, and I tell you, no matter what these aliens want to do, you can't act rashly! If only I had known you had done ...... Don't say what you want to do, one of them is lost, I want you to look good! ”
The guards in the monitoring room were all silent, and they all knew that Miao Yu was here for what he said. And their future is also in Miao Yu's hands, if it weren't for Miao Yu's captain's evaluation, they wouldn't want to leave the ghost place of Windy City, and even spend the rest of their lives here.
If Miao Yu is unhappy, as long as he leaves something unclean in the transfer evaluation, even if he leaves Windy City, they will be a traffic control officer for the rest of their lives, and what important department do they want to enter? Don't even think about it!
Therefore, Captain Miao is very good at his words in the Windy City Garrison, and no one will question what he says. The silence in the entire monitoring room was restored, and all the guards were carefully switching the monitoring screens, for fear that they would miss the whereabouts of an alien race.
However, these aliens didn't seem to have done anything, and after they entered the Windy City, they just carefully observed the layout of the city. Where the garrison is, where the Far North Army is, and where the remnants of the Far North work, write them down one by one, and then leave.
The guards were all curious, what were the aliens going to do when they wrote these off?
An Xiaoyu yawned against the water tank on the roof of the hospital and looked at Windy City below. She had also sensed the movements of these members of the alien race. Some aliens even passed by her quietly, and they didn't think they were touched for anything, which made An Xiaoyu feel very funny.
But she didn't care, it was one of their plans to let these aliens into the Windy City. As for what these aliens want to do, these are not what An Xiaoyu and Fusheng need to care about, the people who care about these things are the focus of their attention.
An Xiaoyu and Fusheng had already guessed that since the origin could be hidden in Windy City without any news, their own methods of mastery and secrecy must be on the one hand, and on the other hand, there must be people who collude with them, otherwise it would be impossible to do it seamlessly.
Because here is here, it's impossible to run. Since they are in Windy City, they must communicate and exchange materials with the outside world, otherwise they don't have to hide in Windy City, if they don't need anything so convenient, it is much more inconvenient to simply find a cave to hide? More secure.
So there must be a need for the origin to hide in the city, and the source of these needs must come from the person who colluded with them. Now it is not easy to find the clues of the origin, and they think that maybe they can think differently and find someone who has covered up the traces of the origin.
This person must be a person in the basic sector of the city, and it is unlikely that he is an ordinary citizen, because ordinary citizens do not have that quality and do not have that ability. But who this person is, Fusheng and An Xiaoyu don't dare to make a decision easily, otherwise it will be easy to go wrong.
The appearance of the alien race obviously surprised the origin, and after discussing it, the two felt that the previous origin did want to use its own means to contain the attention of the pickets, but the appearance of the alien race was too immediate, so it did not let them go out, indicating that the origin and the alien race really had nothing to do with it.
Later, they even made a temptation, deliberately putting the alien race in the city, and the alien race was obviously happy with such a change. If they were really related to the origin, it would be impossible to easily enter the city, and they wouldn't even know where the cameras were.
In this way, the arrival of the alien race can completely bring a lot of trouble to the origin. After all, the people of the garrison and the pickets could not find the place of origin, because they took care of a lot. The alien race is like a lot of instability**, it can explode somewhere at any time, and if the place of the explosion happens to be where the origin is......
The person who hid in the shadows to deliver news to the Origin would definitely provide the Origin with information about the situation outside at this time, and even help the Origin evade the destructive power of the alien race. When the time comes, the pickets will be able to find this person and find the origin.
Of course, these are all floating lives to worry about, and An Xiaoyu is more concerned about what Wu Qi and Wang Zhimou have to do with this matter. However, so far, Wu Qi has no intention of contacting the outside world. An Xiaoyu began to wonder, did this guy already know that he was watching them?
An Xiaoyu has already informed Yinggett to come over, if something happens to the city, An Xiaoyu and the garrison will not be able to take care of it, and it is definitely necessary to have an extra helper in the dark. At first, because she was afraid of being discovered by the origin, she thought of herself, but An Xiaoyu didn't let Shadowgot come to Windy City, but now it's different.
Now that the Windy City is full of aliens, one more is not more, one less is not less, and it is the right time for Shadow to come here. Moreover, An Xiaoyu could feel that the situation in the entire Windy City had begun to become intense, and with the change of luck, An Xiaoyu could also see a little bit of the future direction.
She was waiting, waiting for an opportunity. If the harassment war against the alien race is regarded as the turning point for them to detonate the entire Windy City, then in the gradual fermentation of development, there will definitely be one or two key points, which are fatal to the origin.
What An Xiaoyu needs to do is to grasp these key points, decisively give the origin thunder a blow, take away the orphans of the Zhao family, and then things will be much easier.
At the same time, inside the dive base, a large number of wounded soldiers are being transferred. Although the medical conditions in the base are also very high, it is still very inconvenient to cultivate. In a densely populated place like the base, infectious diseases can easily break out, so the wounded must be sent away as soon as possible.
Therefore, after first aid, and after recuperating for a period of time without life-threatening, the wounded soldiers began to be transferred to various border hospitals. When they arrive at the hospital, they will have a better environment for recuperation, and after the transfer of these wounded soldiers, the submarine base can also be reorganized.
Since the entire empire has just been expanded, and the current recruits are still being trained, there is no idle team that can be directly arranged to the submarine for the time being, so Qian Yi is still very sad. There was no choice but to intensify their work arrangements and patrol as much as possible to ensure that there were no loopholes.
But try to guarantee it, after all, there is still no way to guarantee it, and both the Qianjiao and the Western Headquarters understand this truth. Therefore, the western region is also adjusting its armament arrangements as much as possible, mobilizing manpower from bases with surplus manpower as much as possible, and preparing to fill the vacancies in submarines.
Guo Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the submarine, asked again and again, eager to ask three times a day, and finally got the affirmative answer from above, saying that it was to mobilize enough troops within three days, and the first batch would be sent in four days, and then Lu Xu would send three batches of people.
These people were drawn from various friendly bases, and each group of people was more than 500 people at most, just enough to make up for their loss of more than 2,000 people. In this regard, Guo Chengcheng has been thankful, this is not a necessary relationship for the position.
The soldiers on the western border are always on guard. Don't look at the imperial army that has suppressed the alien race for so many years, but everyone knows that in the absence of mechas, the human race and the alien race will be a tie at most, and then whoever wins and who loses will be another matter, not to mention casualties.
Therefore, the daily patrol must be done well, if there is a mistake, or the patrol gap is too long, in case the alien race takes advantage of the situation at this time, and is caught off guard at that time, even if there is a base as a stronghold, they will not be pleased.
Especially at such a time, the alien race originally planned to attack the empire, and the friction on the border has been tacitly accepted by the foreign elders and the upper echelons of the empire, and there are many small fights, and it is reasonable that the conflict will continue to worsen. Maybe the aliens will want to take out a base to test the waters, and they will definitely choose the weakest point.
When the time comes, he will really be beaten and retreated by the alien race, and his position Guo Cheng is not the focus, the focus is on relying on those towns near the base, and the citizens in it will be threatened by the alien race. When the time comes, the alien race will taste the sweetness and have a breakthrough, and it will definitely get worse.
And both the Empire and the Council of Elders are actively preparing for war, and it is still too early for a full-scale war to start. In the face of such harassment, it is impossible for the empire to suppress it comprehensively, so once the aliens are tired of it, it will inevitably lead to large-scale border riots, and then the military and civilians will be miserable.
There must be no accident!
Guo Cheng called several of his generals and told them the above notice, and several generals were also happy. However, Guo Cheng is still not optimistic: "Don't think that it will be okay if the people from above are transferred, although the number of people transferred is not much, but if the alien race has a heart, it will definitely notice." If they really have the idea of attacking us, then they will definitely take advantage of the cold call before the people who are transferred in arrive. ”
"Then them!" Zhang Detao was already angry, and the injured were all his men.
Guo Cheng sneered: "The alien race is really fighting, you can't fight if you don't want to." Zhang Detao's first battalion lost manpower this time, so it will recuperate for a period of time for the time being, with the main goal of accepting new people as the main goal, waiting for the people transferred from above to come, and leaving the outside affairs to the second and third battalions. ”
Zhang Detao was a little frustrated when he heard this, but he also knew what was going on in his own team, so he had to nod and say, "Yes!" ”
Guo Cheng continued: "These days, the patrol tasks are arranged tightly, originally three battalions were rotated, but now there is a gap of 2,000 people, although the number is relatively small, but 2,000 people is still a considerable gap relative to the entire patrol range. ”
The second battalion commander said: "I have selected a thousand people, all of whom are the elite of our battalion, and they can take multiple shifts!" When the time is up for three or five days, you should be able to survive if you hold it up. ”
The third battalion commander frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect the second battalion commander to be so active. It sounds simple to send more than 1,000 people in a shift, but the soldiers who have patrolled the border, including An Xiaoyu, who have participated in border patrol, know very well that it is not a simple matter of numbers.
Bases on the border are not built randomly, whether it is the main strength of the base or the strength of the satellite camps, it must be precisely calculated. The patrol routes around all bases are completely spread according to this number, and the patrol range of each squad is at most that long a day, so a certain number of people represents a certain number of patrols.
There are three shifts on this side, because the main base is mainly responsible for patrolling dangerous areas facing no man's land, patrolling in such a place, you need to be vigilant at all times, and the physical and mental consumption is very large, and three shifts is almost the limit.
If it were normal, the empire would definitely have reserves to face such an unexpected situation, but now that the empire has just expanded its army, those reserves have been organized into the main battle team. Instead of being replenished by personnel, the garrison had no way to fill the casualties.
This is already very aggrieved.
They all understand the difficulties of the Central Military Commission and know that the current situation is so difficult. The battle brought about by An Xiaoyu's return has proved that the Central Military Commission's decision is very correct. I don't know when there will be a large-scale battle, and the number of troops expanded now is not enough, where can I take care of these garrison teams?
But a thousand more people came out to patrol such a thing...... The third battalion commander's face changed and changed, he looked at the second battalion commander, then looked at Guo Cheng's eyes, as long as he nodded and said: "Our third battalion also sends more than 1,000 people in one shift, but for the supply of these people, I think it should be improved." ”
Guo Cheng nodded and said: "Of course, a battalion of wounded soldiers has been transferred to the empire, but their supplies are still being distributed, and these are counted on the heads of you people." ”
The face of the third battalion commander looked a little better.
Guo Cheng nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then let's work hard, we will all have to live a hard life during this time." I've heard that there are a large number of alien races over there, and I just hope that these alien races aren't smuggled from my sneak here. ”
After speaking, the four of them couldn't help but sigh.
