The faces of the soldiers were full of envy and surprise, and they didn't even come back to their senses when they carried the corpses of their teammates. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Residents crowded out of their homes into the streets, surrounded Calliste and shouted long live the Queen, and the scene exploded. Everyone is enjoying the victory.

This kind of outright victory history is rare, once in order to fight against the zombies, the people of a city have to be terrified, and the people who are frugal to fight for victory, at that time there was a lot of mourning, countless dead and wounded.

But just now, except for those inevitable casualties, no one died under the attack of the condensed giant corpse.

"Long live the Queen!"

"Long live the Overbounders!"

The thunderous shouts made the residents jump with excitement, and even the usually timid children looked curiously in the direction of the collapsed city wall, where the enemy had been killed.

Black blood soaked the desert, and a foul stench filled the air.

Herring pursed the corners of his lips and got out of the car, fortunately, he had a heavy machine gun at the critical moment, which turned the tide, but thinking of those large-scale alien beast riots, a machine gun could not play any role at all.

"Everyone else is celebrating, why don't you look happy?" Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked softly.

Herring sighed, then pulled her into the car and replayed the satellite exploration footage on the screen again.

Lian also became serious, and her beautiful eyes did not see despair, but were full of fighting spirit.

"Then my injuries will be healed, and we will fight together." Lian said firmly.

"How do you know I'm not going to run away?" Herring asked.

"It feels, it's been this way for so many years." Lian stared into Hering's eyes, then pressed her lips to the other's face.

......

Above the office of the temple, everyone stood solemnly, Hering sat upright on the throne, and those pictures were seen by all those present, and they had indescribable looks on their faces.

There was despair, fear, and hesitation, but there was firmness in Calliste's eyes, this was the same look as Herring, it seemed that no matter what, Calliste would not give up the Holy City.

"Send someone to repair the walls of the northern city as quickly as possible." Herring immediately commanded.

"It's already being done." Standing below with the other priests, Callist responded.

"What is the cost of reinforcing all the walls and strengthening the city's defenses?"

"With our current strength and material resources, it will take at least half a month to strengthen the city wall, raw materials are not scarce, and the surrounding gravel is available for us to use, but ......" Calliste's expression darkened.

"But what?" Herring raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Because of the siege of the city by giant zombies, the market in the holy city will be greatly adjusted, and the grain will be hoarded by most merchants in order to obtain more wealth, and the ordinary people will also increase their willingness to accumulate food, but strengthening the city wall will consume a lot of food and labor." Callist explained.

"Why are they hoarding food, are they afraid of the next disaster?" Herring asked.

"Exactly, although no one saw the video just now, but after all, there was a disaster just now, and there will be such a chain reaction in a short period of time." Callister Road.

"The chain reaction will slow down the speed of strengthening the city walls, and before the walls are repaired, the whole city will be flooded by the beast tide, but we can't make the news public, which will only increase the panic in the hearts of the people. This is undoubtedly stuck in an endless loop. ”

Listening to Calliste's explanation, Herring fell silent, and the others did not dare to answer, after all, the decision related to the overall fate still needs to be decided by the person on the throne, and Calliste can only play a role in persuasion and assistance.

"Even if they don't hoard food, even if the food is sufficient, half a month is a long time for us, and we don't know at what speed the beast tide will come, so speed is the most important thing for us." He Ling said in a low voice: "And maybe there is not only one giant corpse that awakens, there will be many, we can't stand those blows." ”

Callist nodded slowly: "So we need to come up with a countermeasure." ”

"All food is forcibly expropriated, and we control it, and all residents are forced not to hoard food without permission, and all food cannot be wasted while being rationed." Immediately decided, Heling ordered.

"......" Callister was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You will cause public outrage like this." ”

"War communism, in times of war and crisis, everyone has to contribute to the war." Hering said slowly.

"War communism, what?" Confused, Calliste stumbled to say this.

"It is to concentrate all the materiel in the hands of the rulers, and at the same time squeeze the labor force to lay the foundation for our victory." Hering said lightly.

"And what if the inhabitants resist?"

"Kill." Hering said slowly.

"Are you crazy?!" Calliste shouted, "Are you going to kill everyone? They are just civilians, cowardly and cowardly, how can they do what you say? ”

"So we're going to give a stirring speech to stir up the love of the people for the Holy City, and to make them give willingly, with the authority of the Church, and there's certainly something troublesome in that, I mean, never be merciful." Herring spread his hands and stood up, looking at the inhabitants walking down the street.

The inhabitants are back to normal life, and the collapsed walls have been rested with the full cooperation of the military, and in less than a week they will be intact.

"Really... Do you want to do that? Callist looked hesitant.

"I'm up to me here, of course, if we don't, you know what will happen to us." His eyes were a little cold and creepy, and looking at Herling's dark eyes, Callist was like falling into the sea, extremely piercing.

"These are all strategies that a good politician must have, and I thought you knew that." Hering Road.

"I don't know." Calliste looked gloomy.

In fact, Herring didn't know it originally, but when he was in Antarctica, Norton would often say these things to him, and when the two of them were chatting, he unconsciously remembered them, and now he actually uses them!

"You just have to do it, what we lack most at the moment is time, like the wall outside, can it be repaired overnight?" Turning to Callister, Herring asked.

“...... This, how can this be" Opposite Herring's gaze, looking at his firm and stern eyes, Callist softened: "Of course, I will mobilize all the soldiers and do my best to complete it." ”

"Good." Herring smiled slightly.
