Chapter 33 Stalemate
Although they won a small victory, Zhang Jingyi and others did not dare to be careless. Blew up the road, killed a lot of Jones on the Mothership, and destroyed the south gate of the dungeon, but what happened next could be even more troublesome.
They had to keep an eye on the north and south gates of the dungeon twenty-four hours a day, as well as the Jones on the other two motherships to keep them from congregating. Once the Jones mothership takes off, the consequences are unimaginable.
In this way, the two sides were once again at a stalemate. This stalemate, in comparison, the earthlings are indeed more tired. A month later, not only Sister Zhen, but many people couldn't bear it anymore.
"I said can you just take the dungeon?" At a meeting, Jennifer couldn't help but ask: "If this continues, our people are almost exhausted!" ”
"I'm afraid not!" Zhang Jingyi said: "Of course, if we don't care how many people die, we can also give it a try. It's just that I don't think it's worth it. Don't look at the fact that we have more than 100,000 people now, but it is not enough to storm the dungeon, so we can't use our lives to try and make mistakes. ”
Zhang Jingyi's words are very reasonable, and no one can object. But what to do next, no one can figure out how to do it. Seeing that everyone was out of line, Zhang Jingyi quietly asked Xiang Zidan if Liang Jingjing had any eyebrows on her side.
"The materials are finally complete, but there are a few materials that are too small," Xiang Zidan told Zhang Jingyi, "so there are only about a dozen people available." I was just about to tell you, isn't that too little! ”
Of course, it's too little, plus Emily and Sister Zhen, even if Liang Jingjing herself is counted, there are just a dozen people who want to attack the dungeon?
"Liang Jingjing is rushing over with these dozen or so people," Xiang Zidan said, "She said that she won't be able to get new materials for a while, so she just came over to participate in the war...... Oh, and Ouyang Xiaoyue is also here. After Jingjing prepared the stealth paint, the first one was to test Xiaoyue, and as a result, she was also able to become invisible, so she simply came over. ”
"Ouyang Xiaoyue is also here?" Zhang Jingyi felt inappropriate: "Who is responsible for the big mess over there?" ”
"It's okay, I'll leave it to Lan Lan!" Xiang Zidan said: "It was Sister Tang's original deputy." ”
Zhang Jingyi nodded, relieved. There's a big mess over there, and the munitions needed here are all made there, and it's not a trivial matter. Someone is responsible, and Zhang Jingyi feels relieved.
"Don't argue," after talking to Xiang Zidan, Zhang Jingyi said to everyone: "Now, Liang Jingjing is rushing over with more than a dozen invisible people. We'll hold on here for a few more days, and when they arrive, we'll decide what to do next! ”
"Why are there only a dozen of them?" Shao Youping felt strange: "Since you got it, why don't you get more?" If we can all be as invisible as the Jones, what are we afraid of them! ”
"It's a pity that there are not enough materials," Zhang Jingyi said, "and that's all there is to it!" ”
Everyone said that they were sorry, but they couldn't help it. The earth that has exhausted its resources, all the raw materials that can be used, there are many reserves in the dungeon. The raw materials in the Alpine base are secretly stockpiled by the United Mining Group, and naturally they cannot be as abundant as the Central City and the Dungeon. In addition, after several rounds of fire, there is naturally a limited amount left. It's just that the dungeon is lost, and I can only look at the city and sigh.
"Okay, it's not bad to have more than a dozen," Sister Zhen said: "Use it properly, we will have a top hundred!" ”
The mood of the earthlings finally stabilized temporarily, and they continued to patiently watch the movements of the Jones people.
The Jones people in the dungeon, and the Jones people locked in the Jones mothership, they are not having a good time either. Since the Hundred Years' War, they have been pressing the earthlings, and they can basically be said to do whatever they want. If you're interested, you can play with the earthlings, and it doesn't matter if you play war games. If you don't want to play anymore, just ignore it, let you go to the sky and land, and just watch it as a joke.
But this time, they couldn't play. The Jones people, whose scientific and technological ability completely destroyed the earthlings, did not expect that they were actually suppressed by the backward earthlings with primitive weapons, so they could only retreat in the dungeon and not get out.
The south gate was sealed, and they tried to open the north gate several times to get out. But as soon as they opened the door, the primitive artillery of the earthlings roared in, and there was no chance to stand out at all.
"I'm afraid this won't work!" Jones Moon is getting more and more impatient. As the head of the army, the army is naturally unhappy that she can't make a difference, but the fact is that she doesn't seem to have a way to do anything if she wants to.
"Don't worry, we have a lot to do, there's no need to go out!" Samantha saw that her old partner was very irritable, and advised her to calm down: "Our main goal is that it takes time, so there is no need to rush." ”
Of course, Jones Moon knows about it. The Joneses' revival plan now depends on whether natural pregnancy can produce healthy children. The children are still in the wombs of Eve and others, and to know whether these children who are still in the mother's womb are healthy, you have to wait for them to be born and grow up, not to mention that it will take seventeen or eight years, and they will not be in a hurry.
But the problem now is that they are locked in the dungeon by the earthlings and can't get out of the city. The feeling of being able to eat and wait for death is something they have never experienced before, and this feeling is really wretched.
But Jones Moon was surprised to find that not only Samantha, but Jones people in general, were also blind to this state of affairs. What's more, many Jones people, especially the soldiers of the army, seem to be quite satisfied with the status quo.
"Are we going to slack off like this?" Jones Moon, who was worried about this, went to Samantha and expressed her concern: "When have our people ever been so unenterprising? ”
"Aunt Moon, isn't this state normal!" Eve, who happened to be at Samantha's place, said before Samantha could speak: "How many years have we Jones people gone through and gone through a thousand hardships and dangers, don't we just want to pursue this comfortable and peaceful life?" Now that we are down-to-earth, we can settle down on a planet with a billion years of habitable time, isn't that exactly what we dream of in the vast interstellar world! ”
"You little girl, you really leave me speechless!" Jones Moon smiled bitterly: "But now, it's not just us on this planet!" The earthlings are making such a lot of noise outside, it's not time for us to rest and live comfortably! ”
"I think Aunt Moon is too worried!" Eve said. Her belly was obviously bigger, she touched her belly and said with a smile: "When the child is born, we have to wait for him to grow up, how long will we have to wait!" If you are in a hurry like Aunt Moon, how can you spend more than ten years! ”
Jones Moon really had nothing to say.
"I think it's time for you to adjust your mindset!" Samantha also smiled: "Otherwise, you may really have been restless for more than ten years!" ”
"I think so," Eve suddenly couldn't help laughing, "Aunt Moon is pregnant too......"
"You stinky girl!" Jones Moon reached for Eve, who laughed and ducked.
"I think I can consider it!" Samantha also smiled and said, "So the moon knows it's time to be patient!" ”
"Forget it, I won't tell you!" Jones Moon smiled wryly. However, after being teased by the mother and daughter, her mood was really calmer: "Okay, just listen to you, go back and have a few drinks, and sleep beautifully!" ”
"Mom, are we really waiting?" As soon as Jones Moon left, the smile on Eve's face immediately disappeared: "Let the earthlings toss so much outside? ”
"Do you have any other ideas," said Samantha, "might as well speak up!" ”
"I think we're going to get our mothership flying no matter what!"
"How do you fly?" Samantha asked, "There are not enough people outside, and people inside can't get out!" ”
"You don't need to go out with the people inside!" Eve said, "In addition to the wounded, there should be more than 200 people outside!" ”
Samantha looked at Eve, who was not at all ambiguous and said what she thought. She believes that the mothership, which has been overhauled, must have been targeted by the earthlings. Earthlings thought that as long as the Jones people were not allowed to run to the mothership, no Jones mothership would be able to take to the skies, but this was not the case.
The other two motherships, which are undergoing overhaul, do have some problems that need to be repaired, but they are not incapable of flying. If you really force it to fly, it won't be too dangerous. Of course, many weapon systems are temporarily unusable because they need to be overhauled, but the firepower on the ship is more than enough to deal with the primitive heavy weapons of the earthlings.
Therefore, Eve's suggestion was to take advantage of the fact that the earthlings were closely monitoring the north and south gates and the mothership that had been repaired, and quietly gathered the more than 200 Jones people outside, infiltrated one of the motherships, repaired it with all its might, and flew off early.
"I believe," Eve concluded, "that the earthlings would never have imagined that the mothership we managed to fly on was not the one that was now under close surveillance!" ”
Samantha thought for a while and asked, "Aunt Moon was here just now, why didn't you say it?" ”
"I think Aunt Moon is too focused on the overwhelming advantage of technological leadership," Eve said, "She is a very orthodox military commander, but she doesn't pay too much attention to strategy, so she always suffers in the battle against the earthlings." ”
"You're wrong, Eve!" Samantha disagreed: "Jones Moon's military literacy is the best among us Jones people. Of course, she pays great attention to the advantages of her weapons, and that's right. But to say that she always suffers in the war against the earthlings is not necessarily. Think about it, if we didn't try to capture those Earth boys alive, for the sake of the revival of our race, how could she suffer! ”
"You're right," Eve said, "but I don't think she's adjusted well, she's not adapting to the new situation, and that's a fact that can't be hidden." ”
"And what do you mean," Samantha asked tentatively, "take her down?" ”
"Mom, don't ask me about this!" Eve was not fooled and smiled and avoided it.
"Okay, let me think about it!" Samantha said, "Now you go!" ”
Eve smiled, got up and left. Samantha watched her daughter's back leave, with mixed feelings in her heart. She suddenly discovered that Eve was full of traverser qualities, so brainy, and so weird. The earthlings that Eve inherited from her were good or bad, and she couldn't figure out whether they were good.
