Chapter Ninety-Four: Diverting Attention
The oil wells and refineries were in ruins, and the news of the destruction of salt wells and salt drying plants could not be concealed at all, so the Authority simply announced the results.
Although he had known the news for a long time, when it was actually announced, the entire wasteland settlement was terrifyingly silent in an instant, and everyone was silent. In this case, the news that the Authority had lost six or seven thousand people turned out to be insignificant. Most of the people in the last days are selfish, and they often only think of the lack of salt to eat, but they don't think of the thousands of people who died in order to save the salt well.
Zhou Yuanqiang, who witnessed all this happening, seemed very calm, and the destruction of the salt well had an impact on him that was almost not calculated. With the ability of time and space, of course, he is not afraid of the problem of salt, and now he is thinking more about how to get the most benefit from this news, and how to further implement his plan when the wasteland settlement is turbulent.
Zhou Yuanqiang himself is not very ambitious, for him, it is bland, but what he wants.
But this does not mean that he will be inferior and deliberately cater to others. The Authority of the Wasteland Settlement was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, and Zhou Yuanqiang didn't know when this sharp sword would fall. This kind of worrying and fearful life is definitely not what he wants. If you want a place where you want to be free and operate according to your own will, there is no way to exist in this world, unless the entire settlement is completely up to you.
As long as they want to realize their plans for an industrial city, it is absolutely delusional to have the existence of the Authority, how can they tolerate a private armed force that slowly grows under their noses and threatens their rule? When Zhou Yuanqiang was still a few hundred people, in their eyes, it was not worth mentioning. But now Zhou Yuanqiang's strength has exceeded their bottom line, if it weren't for such a big incident in oil wells and salt wells now, they would have done something to Zhou Yuanqiang a long time ago.
Zhou Yuanqiang knew that his small oasis, a satellite settlement, was only suppressed under this explosive news, or the Authority did not have the energy to take care of himself, once they eliminated the crisis caused by the oil and salt wells, his life would be a little sad at that time.
Faced with the panic throughout the settlement, the Authority first sent more patrol teams to maintain law and order in the settlement, and on the third day, an order was transmitted to the private teams throughout the settlement. The order was simple, requiring each team to hand over half of their armed forces to the Authority for a large-scale military operation against Qingyuan City in order to obtain enough supplies to stabilize the volatile situation in the settlement.
Of course, Zhou Yuanqiang could not avoid it, and even clearly pointed out that the number of Zhou Yuanqiang sent should reach the number of 2,000 people, and personally led the team to set off.
It can be said that the Authority's move is to directly take away two-thirds of Zhou Yuanqiang's armed forces, and indirectly weaken Zhou Yuanqiang's armed forces that were so difficult to organize.
"Shit, these bastards."
Qiu Guorui, who got the news, immediately scolded and said: "It's really hateful that they are still thinking about calculating all the people who threaten them at such a juncture." β
Zhou Yuanqiang doesn't think it's strange, it's strange if he doesn't do this for politicians' skills. He tapped lightly on the table, digested the news, and said, "What do you think of this large-scale hunt?" Listening to the news from Xu Yuhai, it seems that the Administration Bureau will dispatch 10,000 soldiers, as well as all the armored troops, plus more than 10,000 people we have pieced together, with the intention of sweeping all the warehouses in the western area of Qingyuan City. β
Chen Jianliang sneered and said, "Their ideas are too naΓ―ve, it's been five or six years, who knows what has become of the things in the warehouse?" Moreover, the Authority asked us to cobble together tens of thousands of people, to put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder, and they were fodder to resist the impact of zombies, and wanted our people to die. β
"They call it diverting attention, such a big thing, if the people's hearts are unstable, this settlement is afraid to disperse." Zhao Hongyuan played with a scope and said: "The Authority has lost thousands of people, but it is not something we can deal with, we have to get this person, it's just ...... Impacting Qingyuan City, I don't know what they think. β
Qingyuan City has a population of one million, and Zhou Yuanqiang just attacked the periphery a few months ago, and the zombies are terrible, but they have a deep understanding.
Human beings still have the power to fight against zombies in a flat land, but when they enter the city, with the ability of zombies to lurk, as well as the terrifying speed of high-level zombies, and high-rise buildings to cover them, fundamentally speaking, the city is the current forbidden area for human beings. Now the Authority wants to challenge the forbidden area, and the people who propose this plan are absolutely crazy people.
No one is optimistic about this attack on Qingyuan City, but from another point of view, it has to attack and plunder, and the destruction of the salt well has forced the Authority to break the kettle and do it.
Without salt, no one could have guessed what would happen to the entire settlement. Knowing that attacking Qingyuan City would cost a huge price in casualties, the Authority had no choice, and for the sake of their rule over the settlement, they could only risk the possible annihilation of the entire army.
Zhou Yuanqiang also thought that he would bring a large amount of salt from modern times to save the settlement, at least during the period when the salt well was rebuilt, and he would not let the salt cause trouble to the settlement. But Zhou Yuanqiang understands that this is not an opportunity for himself?
Even if you are soft-hearted, will the Authority admit your feelings? Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, in the last days, is happening all the time. And this kind of salt that can threaten the existence of the Authority, they can't let themselves hold it in their hands and force themselves to hand over the channel, which is not their own worry.
The Authority, at any time, is a behemoth to its current self, unable to nibble at it, nor able to replace their dominance.
However, today's fuel and salt crisis is a great opportunity. As long as there is a shortage of salt in the settlement during this period of time, the harm of salt deficiency to the human body is revealed, and then you can easily replace the position of the Authority without having to do it yourself. What's more, now they have proposed this attack plan, which is tantamount to suicide, which is in line with Zhou Yuanqiang's idea of weakening the Authority.
As for himself to lead the team in person, Zhou Yuanqiang didn't take it to heart, with his own ability, as long as there was no big accident, no zombie could harm him.
