Act 27 Breakout (1)
Both convoys stopped, the seriously wounded of the 5th squad were placed in the medical van, and the leaders of the two squads gathered around a rock to analyze the information provided by Zhao Yuanwu.
"This is a rough map that we have made. You see, this is Supply Depot Seven, and to the northeast of it, there is a very powerful army of the undead. β
The captain of the rescue team looked at Zhao Yuanwu puzzled: "But what does this have to do with our rescue mission?" β
"Didn't you notice that location? If we had taken the liberty of going straight to Supply Depot Seven, this army of the undead would have easily cut us off! β
"Won't it?" The leader of the rescue team was puzzled, "Squad 9 brought back a few skeleton prisoners before, I have read the test report, there is no intelligence at all, it is similar to paramecium, they will be so smart?" β
"What!? Test report!? β
Zhao Yuanwu was taken aback, he was still being chased by the sea of skeletons and ran away without reacting to what happened, the white steel who didn't give himself face actually sent back the skeleton soldiers captive first!? And it seems that it has been sent a long time ago, otherwise it would not have been possible to even come out with the test report!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Yuanwu, who had always regarded himself very highly, felt that he couldn't get out of his chest with a sullen breath, and he held his fiancΓ©e and didn't say anything (he thought so), and now he was still stealing his limelight like this, and Zhao Yuanwu looked at him more and more unpleasantly.
"What shit luck!"
After taking two deep breaths, Zhao Yuanwu calmed down, smiled disdainfully, and said: "Captain Bai, what he brought is only the lowest-level skeleton soldiers, and now there are more advanced guys in the army of the undead, those high-level undead (in fact, only mid-level) have wisdom, and they can also order low-level undead, if you don't believe it, just take a look." I don't dare risk the lives of my entire team to gamble on the intelligence level of the high-level undead. β
"Well, even if you're right, how are we going to fight? I have limited ammunition here and can't stand the drain. β
"No problem, there are many low-level skeleton soldiers like ants, even if you have enough ammunition, you can't destroy them all, our target is only the high-level undead as a commander, as long as they are killed, the remaining low-level undead will be restored to a non-threatening mess of sand, and then we will go to the No. 7 supply station to save people, and we don't have to worry about being copied."
The rescue captain was still a little hesitant: "Can ...... Major Bai, his condition is critical, and if we don't arrive today, the gate of Supply Depot Seven will probably not hold out......"
Zhao Yuanwu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong if the gate can't hold on?" The supply depot was designed with the door breached, and the basement was also a very solid shelter, and it was definitely in time to close the door for two to three days. β
The captain of the rescue team thought about it carefully, and became more and more inclined to believe Zhao Yuanwu's judgment.
First, he knew the situation of the supply depot, and as Zhao Yuanwu said, even if the gate was breached, he could still continue to delay for two or three days with the internal defense facilities.
Second, the intelligence about the army of the undead is obviously that Zhao Yuanwu, who has just returned from the front line, has more detailed information, and it is obviously inappropriate to use the "outdated" information in his hands to question the judgment of others.
Thirdly, and most importantly, Zhao Yuanwu's military rank is higher than him, and Zhao Yuanwu is the commander of the exploration force, and the exploration force at the storm base naturally has the right to command other troops. Although Zhao Yuanwu was only discussing with him now, if Zhao Yuanwu forcibly gave an order, he could not refuse, after all, he had already left the contact distance of the base.
"Okay, then I'll send two vehicles now, one to transport your seriously wounded team members back, and one to inform Major Bai."
They were in an awkward position, they couldn't reach the base or the supply depot by radio, and they had to send a car closer to get in touch.
Zhao Yuanwu shook his head and said: "The firepower of our team is not strong in the first place, do we still have to continue to divide the troops?" The supplies on the transport cart can be placed on other carts and let the transport cart deliver the wounded. As for Major Bai's side, it's not a big problem if he doesn't notice, and he's not a fool, won't he hide if he doesn't see us? β
The rescue captain thought about it, and what Zhao Yuanwu said did make some sense.
"This ...... All right. β
Zhao Yuanwu laughed, just agree!
The reason why he went to such great lengths to fool the rescue team was not that he had a brain-dead attack to target Bai Gang, it was just a quick outburst, aimed at a guy who couldn't even choose a team member? Isn't that funny!?
In his eyes Zhao Yuanwu, this kind of "small role" doesn't even have the qualifications to make him hold grudges! He is not one of those gentlemen who does not learn and has no skills, he has nothing to do all day long, he has nothing to eat, and he has to find something to do for himself, so he really has to die of idleness.
He wants to get ahead, he aspires to become a general, how can he pay attention to such trivial things!?
The sudden army of the undead disrupted his plans, causing him to suffer heavy losses instead of completing the mission, considering that the other "cowards" must have believed the warning and dodged in advance, then the result that one of his team was seriously injured became a rather serious deduction! On the first mission, his 5th squad is likely to finish last!
This made Zhao Yuanwu, who must be the first in everything, completely unacceptable.
It just so happened that their 5th team found a very interesting relic on the way to retreat, but because the huge undead army nearby couldn't go in to explore, now with the help of the rescue team, they were more certain.
As for whether Bai Gang can be saved after the ruins are laid, do you still need to ask? How could he, Zhao Yuanwu, be saddled with the notoriety of delaying the opportunity to cause the sacrifice of his comrades!? And it's for the sake of such a little ant as white steel!?
What kind of stupid thing would he do to destroy his future? Are you kidding!?
So saving people must be saved, but it is just a little later to make the guy who took the shit luck frightened, and it can be regarded as a small punishment for his disrespect to himself before.
But Zhao Yuanwu's abacus played very well, but he missed one point - Bai Gang is not an ordinary person, and his decision naturally cannot be judged by common sense.
At the same time that Zhao Yuanwu led the rescue team farther and farther, Bai Gang no longer had the calmness he had before.
In front of him, the original thick steel gate of the supply station had been corroded and deformed, and there were even holes in many places, and if this continued, it would only take two or three hours at most for countless undead outside to break through the door.
