Volume 1 Chapter 25 Back to Benjamin's Town
On the afternoon of January 12, 438 A.D
Looking at the second dog again, he sneezed a few times while galloping, and thought that Zovi missed him, driving on the highway at his speed, and arrived at Benjamin's residence in less than an hour, Anna comfortably in the back while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the past, while stuffing chocolate into his helmet.
"Uncle Dog, I think you were handsome and domineering just now." Anna shouted with a beep bracelet:
"Really? I actually think so too, hahaha" Ergou cheekily admitted: "By the way, Anna asks a question, what do you think about cannibalism?" ”
"Why are you asking me this? I don't know if I haven't eaten it, I like sweets. Anna replied:
"What about seeing someone else eat?" Ergou is speechless, it seems that this Lori doesn't mind having the opportunity to taste human flesh:
"To be honest, I know a lot about the world, it's not easy to survive, it's understandable to eat me in extreme situations, of course I won't eat. Why can man eat animals and not be eaten? Or is cannibalism the same kind eating the same kind? I have a lot of animal friends in the eco-warehouse, but maybe one day I will eat my friend's meat, isn't it cruel? Although I didn't kill it, after the female mantis is conceived, she will eat the male mantis to reproduce the offspring for nutrition, isn't the female mantis terrible and hateful? But what about from the height of racial reproduction? Anna said something that surprised the second dog:
"Your perspective is new and unique, and I'm starting to look up to you, Anna!" Ergou said the truth:
"Haha Uncle Dog, if I see passers-by eating passers-by, I don't necessarily care, it depends on the mood, but if I see someone eating you, I will definitely feed them all to the cockroaches." Lori is not shocking and dies:
"Well, you win, and if I see someone eating you, I'll eat with you." Ergou unceremoniously scolded back:
"Woo woo ~ Dog Shu Huang bullies people." Lori is making noise on the sled:
Ergou was used to the throttle to the end, and soon rushed to Benjamin's residence.
"Your Excellency, are you back?" Benjamin, who heard the voice, vigilantly came out with a gun and found that it was Ergou:
"Yes, everything is alright?" Ergou didn't care about the gun in Benjamin's hand:
"No problem, I just traded with the caravan in the morning, I sold the skinhead's miscellaneous equipment for some money, do you need it?" Benjamin said respectfully:
"You don't need to keep it to improve your life, I ask you if you've seen this?" Ergou took out the base dark combat uniform and asked:
"This? This is what I sold in the morning! Benjamin replied truthfully:
"Where?" Ergou asked expressionlessly, of course, he couldn't be seen by others in the mecha:
"I went out hunting with my brother before and picked it up, it was on the east shore of the Luminous Lake, the lake was very large, I wanted to try my luck, but I found a corpse, so I took this clothes and shoes, the figure froze to death, there was no injury on the body, and it may have encountered an avalanche, just about fifty or sixty kilometers northwest at the foot of the central mountain." Benjamin doesn't look like he's panicking:
"Can you find it again?" Ergou asked:
"No problem, adults need it, I will take you there at any time, there seems to be something in the lake, it is a big thing!" Benjamin remembered something:
"I'll go back tomorrow and rest with you for the night today!" After speaking, Ergou looked at Anna:
"He's not like a liar." Anna seemed to know what Ergou was thinking, and directly said her judgment:
Ergou carried Anna off the sled, pulled out the sleeping bag, the mechanical dog was on guard, and filled the motorcycle with gas, and began to arrange tonight's work, the main base to send someone out to receive Benjamin's residence, to be precise, Ergou wanted people to help establish Benjamin Town here, and also happened to pick up Zack and his party to the main base, Ergou hopes that Benjamin Town can communicate with the outside world as an agent of the base in the future.
Ergou's idea, the base is not suitable for publicity, so it is necessary to support the above-ground forces to establish an above-ground base, whether it is a transaction or a buffer, to gain a firm foothold in this troubled era, and this Benjamin is just in the middle of the two bases, and now it seems that it is on the caravan traffic artery, and the geographical location is excellent.
took Anna into Benjamin's house, the family was still a little afraid of Ergou, the estrangement was still not eliminated, the two children had a good impression of Ergou, Ergou asked the two children to take Anna to visit their small farm.
"You go and see, learn to learn, and play with your brothers!" The second dog is naturally assured of Anna's safety:
"Benjamin, come and let's talk." The second dog got out of the mecha and sat down at the dining table seriously:
"Wait a minute, my lord, I'll get some drinks." Benjamin took out the last fruit wine and served it to the table in a short time.
"Adults, try this, my own ice fruit wine, cold and warm up, to be honest, I have wanted to drink it for a long time." Benjamin looked at the wine and seemed to have a light in his eyes, and as he spoke, he filled a glass for Ergou.
"I didn't get drugged this time, did I? Well, this taste is very special, sweet and sour and refreshing at the beginning of the mouth like juice, and the aftertaste is strong enough, it is really the best, very suitable for this weather. Ergou drank directly.
"Thank you for your trust, last time I used medicine for adults, I was really confused for a while, and I really damn it." Benjamin also drank his treasured wine, but he did so in small sips.
"The past is gone, don't mention it, it's not easy for everyone in this world, my people will come over at night, that's it, I have a strategic plan for you and the future of your town, the purpose is to rebuild the ruined town here, if you want, you can be the mayor of this town, as my agent, of course, our existence is as secret as possible." Ergou found that the more he tasted this wine, the more flavorful it became.
"My lord, our family is willing to serve you." In addition to the safety of his family, Benjamin had nothing else to ask for, and at this time he heard that Ergou really wanted to develop Benjamin's town, and he was so excited that he wanted to kneel.
"It doesn't have to be like this, you and I know that these ceremonies are not necessary, if there is any need for difficulty, just mention it, although we are facing many difficulties now, and even you are still struggling with food and clothing, but you can rest assured that this will not be a problem in the future, if the enemy is just a small minion in the two cities of AB, the safety of you and your family, I can completely ensure it, come and toast to Benjamin's town." There is no doubt about employing people, and the two dogs drank the wine in a glass:
"Your Excellency." Benjamin, who is not good at words, seems to have tears in his eyes, and he also dried his own wine, how can the old hunter not be excited, the miraculous appearance of the second dog not only saved them, but also brought hope to the family, and a better life seems to be within reach in front of them.
The second dog, Benjamin, was drinking a little wine by the fire and talking about the development of the town, Benjamin's woman was busy with farming, Jade seemed to be very adaptable to the current life, and he was wearing a chain to play in the breeding shed, which seemed to be quite harmonious, and Benjamin's two sons and Anna behind him were chattering and playing non-stop.
In the evening, the four tracked armored vehicles of the main base and the seventeenth base gathered here, and Ergou asked the main base to rush Anna's cold-resistant combat uniform to bring over, and Team Liu, Li Yang, Zack, and Zhang Haijun all gathered in the tent in Benjamin's small square to start a symposium. Others set up camp around it, all in white camouflage.
"This is Benjamin's town, Li Yang, you take a team of ten people to camp here, pay attention to concealment, be responsible for guarding and patrolling, and wait for the engineering team to survey and construct." Ergou was talking alone: "General Zack, my opinion is that you go to the main base and immediately implement the work of opening underground tunnels for the two bases with General Li, and in addition, stationing construction personnel here to rebuild Benjamin Town, as our outpost for external handover, and we will also build underground tunnels here to connect the bases." ”
"I fully agree with your proposal, and I will send combat troops and engineers to support you." General Zach:
"No matter how good, your issues also need to include the formation of ground troops, and the equipment and clothing also need to be solved urgently, by the way, your previous reconnaissance team is likely to be hit by an avalanche, this is their clothing, tomorrow I will go with Benjamin to find their bodies and find out about this matter!" The second dog said, and threw the clothes to Zack:
"Mr. Zhang Haijun, the topic of your science and technology group, of course, the first is our survival, food, clothing and housing are the first tasks, and the back is our weapons and equipment, I suggest that snowmobiles be developed first, to renewable energy supply, high performance, and the formation of a team of external environmental scientists, of course, this is my personal opinion." Ergou really regards himself as a leader:
"Okay, after my suggestion is expressed, you should hurry first, pay attention to safety, King Stan, they must be in a hurry." Soon the second dog said goodbye to the people of the seventeenth base:
"How? How do you feel about the outside world? Ergou took Team Liu and Li Yang around the ruins of the town to check:
"When it's dark, I don't feel anything other than seeing snow and trees, and it's cold." Team Liu's answer was simple:
"It's really cold, our current equipment is far from suitable for fighting in this environment, and it takes time to start the mechanical combat vehicle." Li Yang said the problem he saw:
"Li Yang, you have a very heavy task stationed here, you have to be responsible for supervising the project, as well as security, and intelligence gathering. I've left you a tongue at Benjamin's house, Jed, he's a little follower of the skinheads in City A, and you're in charge of figuring out what's going on over there, and we'll have to get out sooner or later after Benjamin's town is done. "It seems that the amnesiac Ergou thinks very far, and now the first step is not counted:
"I understand, Brother Dog, I will do my best to ensure that I don't embarrass our dog team." Li Yang was ordered to lead the team, and he felt that he had a great responsibility:
"If you are short of people, ask Team Liu, ask General Zack, pay attention to concealed whereabouts, personnel should not wear logos, we are fledgling and cannot attract the attention of any enemy, I will try my best to get mecha for you." Ergou still remembers his boasting:
"My lord, the military is already stepping up preparations to wake up personnel, as well as the training of combatants, and the radiation cockroach area you have sealed underground is very suitable for our training." Team Liu said about the operation of the base:
"Very good, but also pay attention to comprehensive consideration, our material supply is currently limited, open source and reduce expenditure, elite route." Ergou not only regards himself as a leader, but subconsciously he feels that the materials in the base are his own wealth, and he is also fresh and refined by him.
"If there is a problem, I will ask for it, I can't solve it with General Li, and General Li can't solve it with the scientific and technological support of King Stan, I believe that after gaining a firm foothold, I will definitely be able to do a big job." The second dog bragged about painting cakes and became more and more proficient:
"I know that the supply of supplies to the base is rationed, the appropriate treatment of brothers in the field is relaxed, confidentiality and personnel selection are the top priorities, and we cannot afford any losses." Ergou said cautiously:
"I understand that the selection of base personnel at the beginning was also very strict, and most of the personnel in the base were orphans of national welfare institutions, and loyalty and gratitude can be said to be the common characteristics of base personnel." Team Liu himself is an orphan raised and cultivated by the empire, of course, he is one of the elites.
"Understood, hard work, rest early, there is heavier work waiting for you and me tomorrow, let's disperse." Ergou finished explaining his thoughts, and several people had already walked back to the camp.
Ergou walked straight back to Benjamin's hall, sleeping in a sleeping bag, Anna also came to drill the sleeping bag, Ergou shook his head helplessly, he was a little tired and couldn't care so much, or maybe it was the effect of Benjamin's wine that he fell asleep, which was a relatively adequate night.
