Chapter 16 It's all about acting

The gunfire outside was getting thinner and thinner, and the sound of explosions was pushing towards the rear of the base.

There was a rumbling sound as the front door of the fence was opened by intruders and armed vehicles drove into the base.

"Hey, that kid named Li Xiang, are you going to spend the night behind the container?"

When Tang Yan heard this, he got up from behind the container, only to find that Zeng Hua had left the accessories room and made contact with the people who had invaded the base, and the third artillery stayed behind to take care of him.

"What about the Black Saints?"

The three guns looked north and said, "Ran away." ”

The base of the Black Saints is converted from a sanatorium built on a mountain, and there are several hills behind it, and if they want to escape in the night, it is impossible for the Pandaren Legion and the people of Gem City to completely annihilate the enemy.

The three artillery guns walked out and said proudly: "The base has fallen and many key materials have been lost, even if those guys can escape, they have lost the opportunity to make a comeback." ”

When Tang Yan came out of the accessories room, he saw a group of people wearing black combat uniforms, tactical helmets, and assault rifles with varying degrees of modification in their hands getting down from a military transport vehicle at great speed and rushing towards the battlefield on the north side.

It is not clear to see the characteristics of their equipment and weapon models in the night, but judging from the pace, appearance, and mode of action, it gives people a very capable and professional feeling, which is not at all comparable to a rabble like the Black Saints.

"They are...... The people of Gem City? ”

The third cannon looked at him with surprise: "You don't know who they are?" ”

Tang Yan said: "I am a scavenger from Toshima. ”

He had a map of the continent from the materials he downloaded from Vault 1001, and knew that there was an inhabited island called Teshima 10 nautical miles north of the nearest coastline.

"That's someone from the Black Hand Mercenary Regiment." Zeng Hua walked over from the side and answered his question with a gloomy face: "It is also the most elite mercenary organization within a radius of more than 100 kilometers from Gem City, this time the Governor not only dispatched the guards of Gem City, but also spent a lot of money to buy off these people, just to destroy the Black Saints in one fell swoop." ”

Tang Yan nodded, indicating that he understood.

It can be seen from Zeng Hua's words that the relationship between the Panda Man Legion and the Black Hand Mercenary Group is not harmonious...... After all, there are conflicts in business.

The Panda Man Legion is a half-bandit and half-mercenary model, and compared to a professional and elite group like the Black Hand Mercenary Group, it is still inferior in terms of combat effectiveness.

"I've already told the Legion Commander about you, but it's a pity that he doesn't have time to see you with the Vice-Governor of Gem City right now."

Tang Yan shook his head calmly.

Zeng Hua thought that he was a little disappointed and felt left out, so he explained from the side: "Don't worry, everything is with me." ”

Tang Yan felt that Zeng Hua's self-familiar personality on the way to the Black Saint Base was not exactly pretended, but he was indeed a warm-hearted person.

At this time, a modified off-road vehicle drove in from the outside, and a middle-aged man wearing a tunic and a bulletproof vest got out of the compartment, glanced at the sudden fire on the northern hillside, and asked an oncoming person, "How is it?" ”

The man tapped the assistant on his left wrist a few times, shook his head and said, "I have searched the base computer, and no available information has been found." ”

Tang Yan glanced at the personal health assistant machine that Han Xin gave him, and found that it was exactly the same as the assistant machine of the man in front of him, and thought to himself that this man with eyes came out of the shelter.

If you think about it, the Vault has a very complete teaching system and a rich knowledge reserve, and it is the most likely place in this wasteland to cultivate excellent talents.

It is only natural that people who come out of the Vault will take refuge in Gem City, and it is natural that they will be used by the Governor.

However, it is unknown where Fan Chang, who caused the destruction of Vault 1001, found out and whether he also joined Gem City.

Sangun noticed the personal health assistant machine he was carrying on his wrist, and the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised.

Tang Yan glanced at the change in his expression and patted the shell of the personal health assistant machine: "I often think about it...... Did you pick up a bad assistant machine? Even so, it is my most valuable possession. ”

The cracks on the outer screen of the personal health assistant are clearly visible.

It was the result of the bite of the mutant dog, but for Sanpao and Zeng Hua, it was taken for granted that it was a precious item that the scavengers found while walking in the wasteland.

Sancang retracted his thoughts and looked at the executives and technical personnel of Gem City, but because of the distance, he could not see the content displayed on the PDA screen.

"What are they looking for?"

Zeng Hua said: "Who knows......"

Tang Yan felt that those people in Gem City should be exploring the Prophet's trade routes with the outside world.

The reason why the Pandaren Legion attacked the Black Saints base is very simple, one is to expand the territory and take out competitors. The second is to resolve past grudges. Things like the Black Saints' people looting Gaojiazhuang's property, they must have done it before, and there is no doubt that they will offend the Panda People Legion.

And that governor, as the leader of Gem City, is naturally more ambitious.

The Black Saints have robbed many of the merchants of Gem City, invaded the Governor's farm, and robbed the wife of a high-ranking executive, but this is neither a bone-breaker nor a break for Gem City.

What the Governor really cared about was how the Black Saints bypassed the Gem City to trade with the outside world.

Now that the Black Saints are small in size, they are easy to control, and once they are allowed to grow, it is difficult to guarantee that the Prophet will not create another trade market in the sphere of influence of Gem City, ending the situation of Gem City's dominance in the peninsula region, and there is no doubt that it will have a great impact on the interest groups led by the Governor.

In Tang Yan's opinion, this was the fundamental reason why the governor was determined to eradicate the Black Saints.

When he entered the Black Saints base, he found that the weapons used by the bandits, the drinks they drank, and the values of the Prophet were not products of this continent, but seemed to come from overseas.

This has to raise suspicions that the Prophet had intersections with foreign powers, such as the Black Saints, who traded with organizations that owned ocean-going steamships.

If Gem City can defeat the Black Saints in one fell swoop, and then find relevant information, whether it is to ambush and kill the ocean-going ships of overseas forces, or to open up a sea corridor, it will be beneficial and harmless to the development of Gem City.

Just when the three of them were thinking about each other, a burst of gunfire rang out.

It wasn't coming from the hillside to the north where the Black Saints were retreating, it was coming from outside the main entrance of the base.

Zeng Hua's face sank, and he thought to himself that he could be ambushed by the black saints, attacked by the enemy from both sides, or encountered the change of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow birds?

Soon, the shouts of personnel were heard at the main entrance.

I couldn't really hear it under the sound of gunfire, but I still had a general idea of what was going on outside the base.

It's a living corpse, a lot of living corpses......

The assault force composed of the Jewel City guards, the black hand mercenaries, and the Panda Man Legion, not to mention dozens of living corpses, even hundreds of living corpses cannot pose a threat, but judging from the reactions of the guards at the door, it is definitely not the concept of one or two hundred living corpses.

The commotion continued at the front door, with the clatter of gunshots and the occasional boom as grenades blooming outside the base.

The dilemma now facing the Lieutenant Governor and the Pandaren Legion Leader is whether to close the door and rely on the Black Saints base facilities to fight the tide of living corpses, or to evacuate as soon as possible.

In just a few breaths, a flare representing the retreat order rose into the night sky.

The guards of Gem City quickly evacuated the base, and the roar of locomotive engines and the sound of heavy gunfire could be heard outside the door.

Several modified pickup trucks belonging to the Panda Man Legion spun around on the ground, ignoring the shouts of Zeng Hua and the three artillery, and drove out of the base gate in a puff of smoke, leaving them behind.

"Damn, we're abandoned." The three guns jumped to their feet and scolded.
