Volume I, Chapter 45, The National Guard
6:00 p.m. on January 14, 438 A.D
"Wait until I get you out!" Ergou decided to release people, originally he wanted to hand over these jobs to Li Yangbu, after all, this base has just been built, and there are still unknown risks, Ergou is now alone, but his intuition still makes Ergou choose to save people first.
The heavy door was not locked, but the rotary switch inside was removed, and it could not be opened from the cabin without tools.
Gaia, who was emaciated and weak, walked out tremblingly: "Brother, what organization do you belong to?" Thank you for your rescue, the National Guard will always remember your efforts! ”
"I have a small town of my own, a bit of my own private armed forces, shall we find a place to sit?" Ergou, who is almost unknown to this world, would love to talk to this guy:
"Can you help me find my teammates first?" Gaia is clearly concerned about whether his team is alive or not:
"What's the name? In this way, I will accompany you to search for a circle, you call them, and confirm the situation before releasing them! "The simple two dogs seem to easily trust others:
"Couldn't be better, Mia! Ray-Ban? Are you all right? Gaia couldn't wait to shout, the cabin was huge, and God knows how many humans these damn orcs had captured.
"Is it human? Help us! Have the orcs been defeated? Thank God! Help us! "The originally lifeless cabin boiled, and it turned out that the entire floor was a prison, full of human captives.
"Mia! Lei Peng? Claire! Where are you? Everyone, please be quiet! We'll get you out later, so don't worry! Gaia dragged his frail body and kept moving from room to room and opening the observation window to check, obviously anxious, but also comforting the other humans.
Ergou followed silently, observing Gaia's words and deeds, the whole floor was almost finished, and still no teammates were found, Gaia's voice became lower and lower and more hoarse, and there was obviously some crying in his voice.
"Help us! Let us out! We don't want to be eaten! The crowd still frantically banged on the metal hatch and shouted for help:
"Colonel? Is that you? Just as Gaia was about to give up, a faint inquiry came from the cabin in the corner:
"Mia! Mia? Gaia's spirit cheered up, and she walked quickly to the cabin, turning the handle vigorously to open the door, and four humans appeared in the cabin, and the three fainted Mia only got up weakly and responded to Gaia:
"Great, you're still alive, are they okay?" Gaia helped Mia up, and then looked at the others:
"There's still a breath of water, is there water? They haven't eaten all the time! "Mia is extremely weak:
"The environment here is not good, but the temperature can be worse outside, don't touch them yet, I'll go find some food and water, and come back soon!" Ergou said and walked out of the cabin:
"Okay, thank you so much!" Gaia helped Mia and said:
Ergou turned around and walked out of the cabin, he went to the military food container in the port he found just now, took as much water and food as he could, and found a military lunch box and a few blankets, and walked towards the cargo ship!
"Team Liu, how long will it take for your troops to arrive? A large number of human captives were found in the orc camp, and I decided to rescue them, pay attention to the secrecy of our identities, and unify our voices to the outside world We are members of Benjamin's Town, belonging to the dog team, call me Brother Dog! Ergou told the base personnel:
"We are hurrying up, the first echelon is expected to arrive in half an hour and an hour, my second echelon will take an hour, and the third echelon will take three hours, your instructions we will receive Brother Dog, I will arrange it immediately." It seems that Team Liu led people to personally lead people into battle:
Back in the cabin, Gaia really didn't move, sat on the spot and helped Mia, the two dogs boiled some water with self-heating, made some porridge, and gave sugar water to Gaia and Mia, and Gaia went to feed everyone separately.
"Thank you again for your help! What do you call it? Did the orc troops escape? Earlier we heard in the cabin that the battle was fierce, and you are very strong! Very well equipped too! Gaia looked at Ergou's costume and the pistols under his armpits:
"Just call me Ergou! The orcs are all wiped out, and my troops are collecting and cleaning up this base, can you tell us more about your guards? In the face of the five weak people in the cabin, Ergou still had reservations, and lied that his troops were in the harbor:
"All gone? As far as I know, there are no less than a thousand orc troops? How is this possible? As far as I know, there is no force in the entire City A region that has the ability to completely annihilate this orc base, Ergou? "Gaia was shocked, and just drank a sip of hot porridge and was a little difficult to swallow: 'That's it, little brother, although I am the leader of the National Guard, I am not my guard, we were formed by the people of the entire Osswoo Empire after the war, for self-defense, and have gone through the heyday of development for some reason, and are now entering a rather difficult period, and you have also seen that as the leader, I am a prisoner of the orc army, or food.' Gaia, who looked difficult, swallowed the porridge and continued:
"Yes, Mr. Gaia, the port orcs are all wiped out, you can rest assured, there may be sporadic survival, don't be afraid, it's safe here at the moment, you are too weak to replenish your strength first, I haven't finished checking the lower level of this ship, you take this defense first, we'll talk later!" Saying that, Ergou threw the pistol to Gaia, and threw a few energy bars to Mia, turned around and walked out of the cabin under the gaze of the two, and hesitated for a moment Ergou did not close the hatch after all, which can be regarded as a test for Gaia and his party.
There weren't many compartments on the lower floors of the cabin, and the two floors were still full of cells, which together were about the same number as the first floor. Most of the remaining space of the hull is the oil tank, this is a 100,000-ton oil tanker, full of oil, Ergou is glad that he has no brains to blow up the ship, the ship's engine is also intact, and it is estimated that it can still be used after maintenance, but where to use it in the cold weather, I believe that the ship was left because of the post-war weather. Later, in the power generation equipment in the engine room, Ergou found ten nuclear fusion cores, and it seems that the ship also served as a power station for the orc base. Out of the cabin, the careful Ergou checked the ship's superstructure cockpit, etc., in addition to the dazzling array of fully loaded containers on the deck, Ergou did not find anything new, it was really cold without wearing a mecha, at this time the outside temperature was minus 15 degrees, after the exploration was completed, Ergou shivered on the deck, rushed above the drone and ran back to the cabin, looking for Gaia and them.
Zuo Wei looked at everything behind the screen and felt sweet, yes, she has been using drones to warn Ergou, since Ergou started to occupy the fight, released this drone, Zuo Wei has no intention of doing the work of the base, and concentrates on being the observer of Ergou, although there are other people in the base doing this, but Zuo Wei prefers to do it herself, which makes her feel that she is fighting side by side with Ergou.
Ergou returned to the cabin, passed through a group of noisy human cells calling for help, at this time Ergou was undoubtedly unable to rescue everyone, the rescue work had to be done by the dog team, and returned to Mia, maybe Gaia and his party were indeed trustworthy, or maybe they just had no physical strength for the time being, the five people who got a weapon were not abnormal, Gaia and Mia were feeding the weaker three.
"Alright, now that we're sure 99% of the orcs in the base are dead, tell me about your history, okay? Let me know more about you, maybe we can work together in the future! The second dog sat down cross-legged, and said to Gaia, whose face was much more ruddy:
"Two of my fighters have regained consciousness, and two are unconscious, I want to send them back to the base as soon as possible, and we have lost contact with the base for half a month after being captured!" Gaia also spoke a lot faster:
"Well, that's no problem, isn't it just more than 40 kilometers, the armored car will arrive in more than two hours, and your base is well-equipped? What is okay with medical treatment? Ergou asked:
"In fact, our base is also struggling to maintain, alas! More than 30 years ago, a century of nuclear war, the Oschui Empire government was destroyed, the entire continent instantly fell into anarchy, although most of the cities were not directly attacked by nuclear bombs, but the subsequent great changes in the natural environment, greatly intensified the chaos in the anarchy, the Oschui Empire did not suffer from the landing invasion war, I believe that the other continent major countries are not having a good time, and then the Oschui Empire is full of mobs and bandits, some local armies, the residual military forces began a protracted internal strife, warlord warAfter surviving the nuclear bomb attack, the radiation environment under the nuclear winter, the stagnation of production in the cold and the freezing of the earth, and the shortage of survival materials, most of the people died in the civil war, starvation and cold, and the people were struggling to survive.
The whole continent is extremely chaotic, it is said that the outside world calls us the Lost Continent, more than 20 years ago, when I was only eighteen years old, after all my family was killed by robbers, I met General Patton, a famous general of the former Imperial Army, he led the remnants of the Imperial Guard, relying on the famous military city of the Osbhui Empire, S City initiated the establishment of the National Volunteer Guard, to help all the people in difficulty, and the people also volunteered to join the Guard to protect their homeland, our organization swept the entire continent for a time, breaking the rule of many warlords, However, the good times did not last long, due to the rapid development, the power of the organization was dispersed, and the political views could not be unified, coupled with the inexplicable appearance of the orc troops on the continent, the World Chamber of Commerce, the World Duel, the Bounty Hunter Organization, the Dream Pharmaceutical and other forces rose, and finally after the defeat in the First World War, the vitality of the National Guard fell apart, General Patton disappeared, and I inherited the mantle of General Patton as an adopted son, due to my incompetence, the gathering points of power have been disintegrated one by one over the years, and now there is only a medium-sized base left around here, it is my incompetence! When asked about the situation of the base, General Gaia told him in one breath about the origin, development and current situation of the National Guard.
