Finally, let's get some recommendation votes to support the new book, the Red Alert novel is not easy to write, and it is even more necessary for everyone to accompany Huali to encourage together.
ββThe following textββ
In the early morning of the next day, after Cai Ruichen woke up, he immediately asked Elleyesel about the situation outside.
The situation was similar to last night, the monsters were still scattered outside the town, and the occasional near the valley were all sniped at a distance of four hundred meters.
After listening to the situation report, Cai Ruichen pondered for a moment and said: "Although this mountain range is not small and the length is also very broad, you can't be careless, so you set a route and let the military dogs patrol regularly." β
This is absolutely a helpless move, according to the base's defense system, these mutants are not weapons of war, and there is no direct threat to the base, and the base will not take the initiative to warn.
At present, the warning radius of the base is only twice the construction radius, which is all threatening targets within a radius of 20 kilometers.
But this threat is mainly aimed at military means, and it is not very positive for those monsters, unless there are monsters within 500 meters of a certain building, or if there are soldiers attacked by monsters, the base will take the initiative to warn Cai Ruichen.
If it weren't for such a problem, Cai Ruichen wouldn't have had to be so troublesome.
He is powerless to change this, and many of the functions of the base are not said to have bugs, but because of the relationship between scientific and technological permissions, they cannot reach the level of perfection.
To put it bluntly, as long as Cai Ruichen can improve his scientific and technological permissions, this problem will be solved immediately.
"The soft tissues of the soles of the feet of military dogs are not suitable for running in the mountains for a long time, and if you run in the mountains for too long, you can easily get injured." Elleyesel said.
"Then you need to walk, it doesn't matter if you're slow, it's enough to spare the three surrounding mountains at the end of the day." Cai Ruichen said.
"I see." Elleyesel originally wanted to suggest recruiting a few more military dogs, but Cai Ruichen didn't mean that, and he couldn't speak.
"You prepare, after my morning exercise, I will go back to the real space, I have more mouths, and I have to prepare more supplies." After Cai Ruichen gave an order, he began his routine physical training every morning.
Now outside, before the morning sun has risen, his training has begun.
When it was nearly eight o'clock, Elleyesel had changed his suit, brought a pistol and followed Cai Ruichen back to the real space.
And this time, Cai Ruichen also brought the general, but he took off all the equipment on the general's body and put a dog leash on the general's collar.
As for the safety of the wasteland world base, with those ten conscripts and two military dogs, he was not worried.
Besides, the base is hidden in the middle of the mountain, and the gate is closed outside, so if someone wants to blast in or break in, he will get the news immediately.
It doesn't even need to be at this point, as soon as a conscription or military dog is attacked, he will be alerted immediately.
Therefore, he is not worried about the security form here, and he is quite concerned about the itinerary of the real space.
A week earlier, he had heard from the armed men in control of the town that there were terrorists planning to carry out a terrorist attack in Marin.
This week, he has also returned twice for the food deal, and each time he can sense the growing tension in the town.
And this time he had to buy a lot of food, mainly those staple foods, which were in large quantities, and needed to be bought in various stores on the street.
With the protection of two hero-level units, Cai Ruichen dared to go out and buy things.
It's not that he doesn't have the courage to go out, but he knows the dangers here.
And as a commander, putting yourself in a place where you know you are in danger and not bringing enough protective force, that is not called courage, that is called brain-dead.
Originally, Cai Ruichen didn't plan to come out, just let Elleyesel come out to buy it, after all, with his body, even if something happens, he can get out in time, and there will be no worries.
But it is true that Elleyeser is very good at skills, and he also has a high military command quality, but he is not a person who is very good at communicating with people.
With a straight face, it is almost impossible to see a smile on his face, and such an expression is not suitable for contact with people in such a crisis-ridden Iraqi region.
Otherwise, it would be easy for people to misunderstand that he is hostile, has been devastated by war for a long time, coupled with complex forms of security, and bomb attacks that have not stopped every day, every Iraqi is vigilant at the first sight of a stranger.
It's fine if Elleyesel is expressionless, but with a straight face, it's completely unfriendly, and it's easy to cause unnecessary conflicts.
Cai Ruichen didn't want to have any unpleasantness with the people here, so no matter how dangerous it was, he could only do it himself if there was no suitable representative.
Who called his subordinates just that little bit of soldiers and horses, there is a lack of talent!
As soon as he walked out of the warehouse door with the general, he saw an armed off-road vehicle and an armed pickup truck speeding past the road in front of him.
On the street, the few people are also in a hurry.
At the intersection not far away, the guards, who originally had only four people, have now increased to twelve.
Elleyesel, who came out at the same time, immediately whispered in Cai Ruichen's ear: "There are snipers." β
"Is there any hostility?" Cai Ruichen said.
"It should be the armed men here, and there is no hostility." Elleyesel said.
"Then let's treat it as if we don't know, and we will do our own thing, regardless of anything else."
The situation seems to have become more serious, and even snipers have been deployed, and it seems that those terrorists have not been found.
However, these things have nothing to do with him now, he just wants to buy good things and go back immediately.
Maybe it has been checked many times, but this time the two appeared, and the armed men at the intersection did not come over to check the documents.
When Cai Ruichen's gaze passed, one of the armed men waved his right hand at him.
This gesture is not a friendly greeting, but to tell Cai Ruichen, I have seen you.
Cai Ruichen also waved his right hand in response immediately, his gesture was a signal of friendship, originally just two actions with the same meaning, but in Iraq, where the war lasted for more than 20 years, this gesture has changed a little.
If Cai Ruichen was waving his left hand, the situation would be completely different, and waving his left hand would be an insulting gesture in the eyes of Iraqis.
Of course, if the other party waved his left hand at him, it was equivalent to humiliating him, and such a gesture was generally a rhythm of fire in Iraq.
Cai Ruichen, who stepped on the time, said hello to the armed men, and the truck pulling the goods also arrived on time.
Despite the tensions, the shops remained open.
For these Iraqis who set up shop, Iraq is not safe at any time, and such an atmosphere cannot affect their ability to support their families.
The truck stopped in the old place, Cai Ruichen led the general to thousands, and the two porters who got off the truck were obviously stunned after seeing Cai Ruichen.
It seems a little surprising, usually Chen Xiaoke will come over every three days, and the type and quantity of food needed will be explained after the last purchase.
They didn't prepare anything for Cai Ruichen today, and the goods in the car were all booked by the shops on this street.
"Mr. Cai, do you have anything to do?" One of the porters said very politely to Cai Ruichen.
"I'm going to increase the number of goods the day after tomorrow, here's the list." Cai Ruichen said as he handed over an order to the porter.
The latter briefly looked at the items on the list, and said with a smile: "No problem, we will deliver it on time at this time the day after tomorrow." β
"You guys get busy first." Cai Ruichen immediately said goodbye to them and walked to a large-scale grocery store on the opposite street.
Just as Cai Ruichen was about to walk into the store, a young Iraqi on the side of the store suddenly skewered in front of him.
At the same time, the vigilant Elleyesel also blocked in front of Cai Ruichen for the first time, and his vigilant eyes stared at this young man under the cover of sunglasses.
The young man immediately said to Cai Ruichen with a smile on his face: "My name is Harun, and I have no malicious intentions, I just came to invite Mr. Cai, and someone wants to see you." β
