Chapter 1 The Way Home
The cold wind was blowing, and the goose-feathered snow was falling one after another.
The north wind whipped up snowflakes and blew them on the face like a knife, the bare trees swayed violently in the howling wind and snow, the mountains and rivers were frozen hard, counting nine cold days, frozen for thousands of miles, and the entire northwest land was frozen.
In the third winter of the last days, cold weather is still the greatest threat to human existence. There was not a single human figure in the white wilderness, not even a wild animal.
In the midst of the snowstorm, a huge fleet of armored vehicles suddenly appeared in the wilderness. The convoy consisted of more than 50 pre-apocalyptic wheeled infantry armored vehicles, and behind the armored vehicles, there were more than a dozen tightly wrapped Dongfeng heavy trucks.
The armored convoy was slowly moving forward in the wind and snow, and the roar of the engines and the black smoke from the rear of the car seemed to melt a crack in the frozen world.
Without any warning, the frozen ground suddenly shook violently, shook, and the gentle ground suddenly raised a pillar of soil, cracking huge cracks, the soil pillar was just on the bottom of the armored car, turning over the roof of the armored car, and the crack also appeared under the wheels, trapping the armored car into it.
"Oh no, it's an earthquake!"
The roof of the armored car was lifted, and one by one soldiers in field uniforms ran out of the armored car.
At the moment when they rushed out of the armored car, the wind and snow outside suddenly became more violent, and the wind and snow were covered with white ice crystals, and the ice crystals swept by, and the soldiers only ran a few steps before being frozen in place.
At the moment of being frozen, the soldiers seemed to see a woman, a beautiful woman in silver armor like an ice and snow goddess walking in the wind and snow......
......
Phoenix Council Hall.
The cold wind was raging outside, the hall was warm like spring, the hot pot was steaming, and the smell of meat permeated the hall.
"This time it was a light armored regiment that was originally part of the Central Theater of Operations, and the regiment was completely annihilated, and our army suffered no casualties." Ouyang Minglang was slowly reporting the military situation.
No one in the hall answered, no one even looked up, only the sound of chirping.
"Can you wait until I'm done eating?" Ouyang was a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Ouyang, come and sit next to me, let's talk while eating." Chi Hua greeted Ouyang at a round table at the top of the hall.
"Yes, there's no urgency in this matter, isn't it just an armored regiment? As soon as the sister-in-law made a move, she solved it cleanly, and talked while eating. Ma Qingqiu was chewing a mouthful of meat in his mouth, and he also greeted Ouyang in a vague voice.
Li Xiaofei next to Ma Qingqiu didn't even raise his head, and took advantage of Ma Qingqiu's time to greet Ouyang, and grabbed two chopsticks in the hot pot in front of Ma Qingqiu.
"The enemy is coming soon, you still have the heart to eat!"
Ouyang suddenly let out a loud shout, and the hall fell silent. Li Xiaofei's hands trembled, and the meat caught on the chopsticks fell to the ground. Po's big head poked over from the side, sucked the meat off the ground, and sucked it away.
Ouyang was very satisfied with the effect of his voice, glared at Ah Bao, who couldn't open his eyes, and continued: "Didn't you think of the deeper meaning behind this battle? An armored regiment drove over from the Central Plains, which means that our road to the Central Plains is open. ”
"The road to the Central Plains is open?" Chi Hua muttered.
"Yes, ever since we met the Blue Sword Special Forces in the Yalong Underground Base, I've been secretly looking for how they came from the Central Plains? It's just that there was no living mouth at that time, and there were no clues, and this armored regiment left very obvious traces along the way, and there was a remote mountain road that was opened by the evolutionaries, and the conditions of this road were completely passable for vehicles. ”
And Chi Hua's train of thought was obviously not here with Ouyang, and a thought that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time suddenly came out, "The road is open, I can go home and take a look." It was because there was no way that he and Xiaofei stayed here, and then there was everything that followed, and it has been three years since he left, is his home still there? Are all former friends and colleagues still alive? ”
"I should go back and have a look, no, I have to go back and see!" Once the thoughts in my heart welled up, I could no longer suppress them.
It has now been three full months since the final battle between the Doomsday Salvation Army and the Tianjin City Alliance. In three months, Qinghai has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Doomsday Phoenix is now the dominant one, and is gradually annexing or eliminating all other forces in the realm. Qinghai no longer allows the existence of various scattered forces, death or obedience, and each force has to choose between them.
Social order and rules in Qinghai are being rebuilt. Whether it is an evolutionary or an ordinary person, everyone in the sphere of influence implements uniform laws and regulations, uses phoenix coins, and the life of every resident is duly protected, and every resident who violates the law can only be judged by the court, and no one can deprive others of their lives at will.
Doomsday Phoenix has established seven cities in the place where the population gathers, perhaps by providence, and the seven cities are arranged from west to east across the entire Qinghai, which happens to be the shape of the Big Dipper. Phoenix City is in the position of the pivot star of the Big Dipper, the Chosen City is in the position of the Heavenly Xuan Star in the second day of the Big Dipper, and the Hibiscus City is in the position of the Tianji Star, and the four cities behind it are simply named Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.
A common feature of these seven cities is that each city has a tall sycamore tower in the center. A nuclear radiation converter is placed on the tower, which not only provides a continuous power supply to the city, but also continuously reduces the nuclear radiation in the environment. The underground passage connecting the seven cities is being built at a rapid pace, and the researchers at the Yalong base are working hard to restore the subway technology, hoping to use the subway to connect the cities in the near future.
There are also more than 100 affiliated camps around the seven cities, and in addition to some of the more remote and too small survivor forces, nearly a million post-apocalyptic humans in the Qinghai region live in these cities and auxiliary camps. Doomsday Phoenix's plan for the future is for humans to live in and around the city, returning vast wilderness to wildlife and mutated beasts.
In terms of urban management, the idea of easy air cooling is also gradually being realized. Doomsday Phoenix provides free housing, medical care, vocational skills training, education, and a free breakfast to every registered resident in its sphere of influence. But if you want to fill your stomach, eat better food, rent a bigger house, or buy other necessities, you have to exchange it for your own labor and ability.
With the gradual recovery of basic industry and agriculture, residents can choose to work in various factories or farms according to their own strengths. Factories and farms do not have fixed days off, and residents are free to choose which day to work and which day to rest, but as long as they are provided with one day's work, they are paid one day, and the remuneration is paid on a weekly basis.
Let individual desire become the starting point of labor, and let individual ability and contribution become the only criterion for obtaining income, this is the basis of Yifeng Leng utopian socialism.
The regular forces of Doomsday Phoenix City were expanded again, directly upgraded from the Phoenix Division to the Phoenix Army, and the number of the whole army was directly doubled from 12,000 to 25,000. The original four brigades were expanded from 3,000 to 5,000 men, and the Phoenix Fifth Brigade was newly formed, with Wu Yulong as the brigade commander, and the Fifth Brigade was an armored brigade that received the tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery captured in the previous wars in Phoenix.
Doomsday Phoenix City's most important combat force special operations brigade has been upgraded to a special operations group, with a full number of 630 evolutionary personnel. The original five special operations squadrons were upgraded to special operations squadrons, with 126 people in each team, including the captain, and five special operations squadrons of 25 people under the jurisdiction of each team.
In the final battle, the Doomsday Salvation Army was completely annihilated, but Qin Liren and Xie Guangyuan of Tianjin City ran away, and the two ran back to the southeast region where Qinghai and Sichuan meet, and regrouped a team to harass the border area.
Mo Yingyang's Special Operations Brigade and Zhong Liyi's Escort Brigade were engaged in a battle with the Tianjin City army led by the two of them in the border area.
The main task of the other special combat teams is to continue to clear out the scattered forces in Qinghai while running in the personnel, with the ultimate goal of realizing that no other armed forces will be allowed to exist in the entire territory of Qinghai.
The only regret is that the treacherous and cunning Pang Wenbin ran away again, he had left himself a way back in the mountains long before the sneak attack, and finally escaped with more than a dozen evolutionaries from the Hidden Dragon Special Combat Team. However, for Doomsday Phoenix, which has grown to this point, Pang Wenbin is just a mouse now, and he can't make any waves if he runs.
Song Yu was responsible for the construction and social management of the internal city, and the external clearance operation was dispatched by Yi Fengleng, and Chi Hua was idle again. For the time being, there are no external troubles and no internal worries, and now is the best time to take time to leave.
Chi Hua's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and Ouyang Minglang continued to talk endlessly.
"Just like our current conflict with Tianjin City, we will have a battle with the forces in the Central Plains region in the future, and the attack of this armored regiment is the most obvious signal. Therefore, we must make preparations in advance, and our intelligence department plans to send people to infiltrate the Central Plains region to find out in advance the distribution of forces and the main armed forces in the Central Plains. Brother Hua, what do you see? Ouyang suddenly stopped to ask Chi Hua's opinion.
Chi Hua was still immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't react to Ouyang's inquiry for a while.
"Brother Hua, what is your opinion?" Ouyang raised his voice again.
Chi Hua still didn't react, and everyone at the dinner table noticed that Chi Hua was stunned.
"Senior brother?" Ma Qingqiu gently poked Chi Hua.
"Huh?" Chi Hua walked out of his thoughts and found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, and touched his nose in embarrassment, "Ouyang, what did you just say?" ”
Ouyang Minglang had a black line in his head, but he had to repeat it again, "Our intelligence department hopes to send intelligence personnel to the Central Plains region to ask for your opinion. ”
"Okay, I'm for it!"
Chi Hua's words made Ouyang very happy, it seemed that Brother Hua was really very supportive of himself, but the next sentence made everyone's jaws drop.
"I've decided, I'll go!"
