Chapter 2: Pursuit and Escape
For the first time since coming to the surface and fighting the earthlings, Moon Jones felt so hearty. She didn't need to worry about anything, she just let go of her hands and feet and tried her best to exert the power of their weapons, and beat the earthlings to cry and cry and cry for their mothers.
At the same time, she no longer needs to drive the soldiers down to the ground, desperately tracking down the earthlings. In that kind of hand-to-hand combat with heavy casualties, although the Jones soldiers have a certain advantage, there are too many dead people under the mouse trap!
Now, as long as the Jones soldier stays on the mothership and sees the dense forest, he doesn't care if he has someone and no one bombards him first. And she, as the commander, only needs to give instructions and command, and let the soldiers play freely. And the glory of zero casualties is back again.
"How many earthlings have we eliminated since we came out this time?" She asked the adjutant.
"There must be 50,000 of them!" The adjutant replied: "There is indeed no specific number, but according to our rough statistics, it should not be less than this number." ”
"There really doesn't need to be a specific number," Jones Moon said with a smile: "It's true to talk to such backward earthlings, just wipe them out!" ”
The meaning of the words is obvious, earthlings are not human, and it doesn't matter how many people die. If you destroy an ant nest, do you care how many ants you trample to death?
"However, we haven't seen a single earth man among these earthlings we have exterminated, which I think is very strange!" The adjutant said, "How is that possible?" Where did they hide those children? ”
Jones Moon looked at the adjutant and fell silent. It's strange that the Jones people need the Earth Boys, that is to say, the Y system of the Earth people is needed to save the Jones race, and this concept seems to have penetrated into the hearts of every Jones people, and it will be revealed involuntarily.
"Do you want to tell me," Jones Moon asked, after a long silence, "if we can find the Earth Boys, or should we catch them alive?" ”
"I dare not say that," said the adjutant, "since the governor has ordered him to be killed, how dare I advocate the arrest of him without permission!" ”
Jones Moon smiled: "Catch those who can be caught alive, but we can't sacrifice our people casually, understand?" ”
Let the Jones soldiers take the risk and go down to the ground to track down the earthlings, such a thing Jones Moon doesn't want to do anymore.
They were chatting when the observation post came to report that there was movement down there.
"What to do, General?" The adjutant asked, "Directly cover the whole territory with an ion cannon?" ”
"You can do it!" Jones Moon laughed again. The quality of their Jones is so high, and each of them has a spirit of faith and sacrifice for the sake of racial revival. It is precisely because of this belief and sacrifice that they have endured thousands of years and persevered.
"Then let's see if there are any boys to do it again!"
As a result, there were still no boys in this team of earthlings, and the ion cannon poured down mercilessly. Large swathes of the woods lodging in the flames, scorched black, and the earthlings hidden in the jungle were either dead or wounded. Occasionally, there were sporadic escapees, and the Jones no longer went down to follow them, and they went.
The scattered women of the earth, like the ants scattered in the destroyed anthill, are no longer a climate. Even if they barely escape, they will be like frightened birds who have lost their souls, so let them fend for themselves.
"With the addition of what was eliminated this time, there are as many as 60,000!" At the end of the killing, the adjutant said to Jones Moon while counting: "This time, the remaining population of the earth that has been gathered with great difficulty has been almost wiped out by us, right?" ”
"Keep looking!" Jones Moon said, "There should be some more." At least the team of earthlings with the children, we haven't found it yet. ”
Based on Jones Moon's understanding of earthlings, she knows that earthlings are born with a leadership complex. Without one or more powerful figures, the earthlings are scattered and vulnerable. When the catastrophe came, Yi Qianya and Huang Lang were killed by the mob, if it weren't for Shu Yunpeng, the earthlings would probably have perished at that time.
It's the same now, if it weren't for the existence of Zhang Jingyi, Xiang Zidan and others she knew, the earthlings would be useless waste. She knew very well that although there were 60,000 people on the earthlings who had been exterminated recently, they were all marginal people among the earthlings, and there were no core figures among them.
She suddenly remembered that the bearded earth man who was carrying a shoulder-mounted **launcher and firing ** at her landing craft**, couldn't help but shudder in her heart: The next generation of earthlings has been connected?
Fortune and misfortune lurk, misfortune and fortune rely on, the 10,000-year crossing has attracted a traverser, and it is indeed the savior of the Jones people, but is it also hidden the disaster of the Jones people? …… This black humor is really terrifying, and Jones Moon doesn't dare to think about it......
Judging from the situation of this killing, Jones Moon judged that the earthlings were likely not to separate the children this time. Then, finding this team of earthlings is the most crucial.
The three Jones motherships completed a kill and began to patrol slowly again, looking for their next target......
Jones Moon judged correctly, and this time the earthlings did not disperse the children into teams like the last time. On the one hand, because of the suddenness of the incident, the displaced people who came back from the north took the lead in fleeing, and Zhang Jingyi and Xiang Zidan didn't have time to react. On the other hand, they really don't want to be separated. The result of separation does not seem to be of much benefit in practice, but it is a distraction.
But if you don't separate, the pressure is great. If their team were tracked down by the Jones, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, Zhang Jingyi, Xiang Zidan, Dr. Shu, Shao Youping and others are all in their throats, and they live with trepidation.
Another bad news came, and another exile team of earthlings was discovered by the Jones. Under the ion cannon, there are few survivors. Hearing such bad news, Zhang Jingyi and the others almost collapsed.
"Let's separate for a while," Shao You's flat face was colorless, and he was trembling all the time: "This time, the Jones people are indiscriminately attacked, and they don't look at whether they have children at all." We're all together now, and if we get discovered by the Jones, it's over! ”
Everyone was silent, and their hearts were all up and down, so they didn't feel uncomfortable. Everyone knows that children are the future of the people of the earth. But the situation is really critical, and no one can confidently say what to do.
"Commander Zhang, you say!" Shao Youping was about to cry: "What should we do? ”
"The separation is to avoid being caught in one net," Zhang Jingyi didn't speak, and Xiang Zidan spoke: "But after separation, it may not be good for the overall survivability." So, I don't think the kids should be separated, even if they want to be divided! ”
"What does Zidan mean by this, I don't understand!" Shao Youping said. Miranda, Long Xiaoyu, etc., also said that they couldn't understand Xiang Zidan's meaning.
"I understand what Zidan means!" "We should be separated, but not the children," Dr. Shu said. Let's think about it, those exiled teams that were discovered by the Jones, each team was more than 10,000 people, there were too many people, it was easy to be discovered by the Joneses, it was too dangerous! ”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, in a team of more than 10,000 people, there will always be some people who are not very disciplined and will accidentally expose the target. Even if it is not exposed, there are too many people, and they can often only find some wooded places to camp. This situation had worked before, but under the indiscriminate blows of the Jones, the dense woods were exactly the places where the Joneses bombed with their eyes closed.
At the beginning, the people from the north had not yet come, and when there were only 2,000 earthlings here, they were divided into several teams. When there are fewer people, it is easy to hide and not easy to discover.
"I see!" Miranda said: "Zidan's meaning is to separate the children alone and find a place to hide!" ”
"Well, that might be the solution!" Zhang Jingyi, who had not spoken, also spoke at this time: "Separate the children from the army and find a proper place to hide." And the others formed a separate army to pin down the Jones! …… But the question is, is there such a place for children to hide? ”
"Yes!" Dr. Shu said, "Lovers Fortress Cave Area! ”
"Is that place closer to the dungeon?" Miranda said.
"It's close, but it's not noticeable!" Dr. Shu said, "We took care of that place, and the terrain of the caves was very complicated. There is an exit behind the cave area, which can be transferred to the western mountains at any time, that is, where Tang Liqing's rebel army was entrenched. Before this, Captain Shao and I had two teams of 600 people, and it was safe to stay there! ”
Lovers' Fortress, Zhang Jingyi and Xiang Zidan have all been there. Especially Xiang Zidan, she and Emily and Liang Jingjing have been there for a long time, and they are quite familiar with it.
"yes, it should be possible there!" Xiang Zidan said: "You can hide in the cave area, and there are many civil air defense projects in the western mountainous areas, which are also a good place to hide, so send the children there!" ”
Everyone agreed, and the division of labor began.
"In this way, with the children, we only have 500 people left, led by Dr. Shu, and immediately move to the cave area to take care of the children......"
"Why did I stay?" Dr. Shu interrupted Zhang Jingyi's words: "I am a doctor, and the wounded need me!" ”
"Just because you are a doctor, the children have a headache and brain fever, and we are relieved to have you!" Zhang Jingyi said: "In addition, the Lovers' Fortress is your hometown, no one is more familiar with it than you, and the role of you going there cannot be replaced by others!" ”
Dr. Shu stopped arguing.
"The rest of us, divided into several teams, split up and moved closer to the dungeon!" Zhang Jingyi's face was grim, and she already had a sense of death: "Ouyang Xiaoyue and Liang Jingjing are afraid that they also need backup, we must go over, and we can't retreat anymore!" ”
"I'm worried that the rest of the people will listen to us," Shao Youping said, "after all, most of them came back from the north." ”
"This can be assured!" Long Xiaoyu said: "After they knew the final outcome of several fleeing teams, they had long been discussing that instead of being slaughtered by the Jones in the end, it was really better to be more happy than 100,000 people rushing up to attack the dungeon." So don't worry about them, as long as we are determined to fight, they will respond! ”
"Okay, that's it!"
