311.Chapter 311: Lan Xiaotian's Thoughts
When Laifu was killed by Kiki, Lan Xiaotian was lying in the grass not far from him. www.biquge.info Unlike the one-eyed dragons, Lan Xiaotian had received formal military training and had the opportunity to learn advanced military technology, so he had long realized that there was an ace sniper with a 12.7mm anti-materiel rifle on the opposite side, who could easily collect people's heads from a distance of a thousand meters. Unfortunately, he was the only one in the room who understood this, and even more unfortunately, he had no command and no one wanted to listen to him.
Then Laifu used his life to let Lan Xiaotian judge that the other party had unconventional aiming means and could directly see the situation in the woods.
Lan Xiaotian's family has always been an outlier within the republic, his family has only multiplied in hundreds of years, and almost every generation has one or several characters who can make people remember their names. But none of these people in the Lan family have ever held a regular position, and of course they have no real power, and what has been passed down from generation to generation has nothing but fame.
Over time, the Lan family in District 21 became synonymous with professional adjutants, and the Lan family's people were almost all over the major gathering areas in the Republic - of course, none of them had the opportunity to climb to the top of their positions.
It is precisely because of this embarrassing inheritance that the Lan family is very well-informed, and it is said that the people who come out to work in the Lan family are the most familiar with the situation in the major gathering areas in the entire republic, that is, because of this legend, it is a very high thing to be able to have an adjutant from the Lan family. Many people spend a lot of money to keep a member of the Blue family around them, not to get their career advice or allegiance - for most people, it is difficult to trust someone from another congregation. So they used the staff officers of the Lan family, in fact, just to pretend to be forced.
Regardless of whether Lao K is also a part of this pretending army, Lan Xiaotian himself is also really talented and learned, so he immediately realized that there is another powerful force in this land now, and there is a high possibility that it will come from the capital region or maritime cities. Because only these two places have the ability to send personnel equipped with such expensive weapons out of logistics operations. Although a first-level civilization like District 11 can also get similar equipment, it is definitely reluctant to throw people out to fight alone. If it were a second-level civilization like District 21, if it got such a set of equipment, it might have to be hidden as a "heavy treasure" and kept secret.
After figuring out the origin of the enemy, Lan Xiaotian immediately had the idea of retreating.
He appeared in District 53, in fact, he was planning to travel to Ben Thanh. When the men of the Lan family become adults, they usually spend a few years walking around, on the one hand, to experience what they have learned in the family, and on the other hand, to take the opportunity to meet the elders of the family scattered all over the place. In many cases, this kind of network will not make it easier for them to get ahead, but it can be more helpful in times of crisis.
District 53 is already considered the frontier of the republic, and there is definitely not much movement of people, so as soon as Lan Xiaotian appeared here, he was targeted, and then after figuring out his identity, Lan Xiaotian was left behind by Lao K.
In addition to being impressed by the price paid by Lao K, Lan Xiaotian was indeed very interested in the chaotic situation in District 53. Nominally, the authorities in the agglomerations should be ********** principles, checked and balanced by several powerful institutions. But in fact, this situation can only be reflected in a few large regions, and even the second-level civilization gathering areas can rarely really do this.
According to the opinion of a certain senior of the Lan family, this is because only a large enough gathering area can withstand this kind of tossing and turning with each other. Of course, only in such large gathering areas can there be enough people to offset the negative impact of this toss. For small agglomerations, it is likely that a single rip-off at a critical moment will lead to a downgrade of civilization, and after two or three pull-outs, the entire civilization will be degraded.
In fact, the republic has grown from more than 100 districts at all levels to more than 80 now, and there are many examples of this kind of reverse civilizational evolution caused by the mistakes of leaders, and there is no data to prove that democracy can last longer than dictatorship. However, according to the records, this change occurred mainly in the period after the cataclysm, and there has been no instance for a long time now.
In Lan Xiaotian's opinion, District 53 was very likely to become the first instance of civilization degradation in more than thirty years, so he did plan to stay and see what would happen here.
Since he positioned himself as an observer, of course Lan Xiaotian would not invest too much energy to help Lao K, in fact, even if the people of the Lan family were down, they would rarely appear in the gathering area below the third level, let alone an unpopular force like Lao K.
But this kind of work attitude made most of Lao K's subordinates think that Lan Xiaotian's ability is very watery, so naturally they don't pay much attention to him, which has caused a situation where he only has influence around Lao K, and no one is willing to pay attention to him without Lao K.
Anyway, he was just an observer, so after Lan Xiaotian found out that armed people from a super-level civilization had appeared here, he immediately sensed the danger. Even the Lan family, which has been in business for a hundred years, can only flee for their lives in the face of the anger of the super-level civilization, and has no ability to protect themselves. At least Lan Xiaotian had no interest in being one of those corpses under the river embankment.
But if you want to run, you have to pay attention to a way and method, just sneak back alone, it is estimated that his days by Lao K's side will come to an end, and the people of the Lan family have always relied on fame to eat, and it is really bad to have a deserter among the new generation, Lan Xiaotian is still young, and he doesn't want to hide back in District 21 to farm with a group of old men.
Just after Laifu's death, several officers under him quarreled because of the command sequence, and it was not far from Laifu's side, only a few steps away from Lan Xiaotian. So he climbed up at the risk of being discovered by snipers and joined the group.
Although Lan Xiaotian judged that the observation method used by the ace sniper should be something similar to thermal imaging, and he couldn't see the specific details of the character clearly, he still messed up his costume, threw the pistol into the grass, and picked up an iron pipe gun from the ground and carried it in his hand. This makes him look like an ordinary soldier, and unless the sniper is dazzled, he is still very safe around the few guys who are obviously pointing fingers and arguing.
Lan Xiaotian ventured to the side of a group of fireflies, of course, not to see the headshot up close, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, Lao K wants that woman." ”
This sentence reminded the people who were fighting for command that they remembered that the person who could really decide the command sequence was not here, and to be honest, they had little choice. If Laifu is alive, he can still rely on his qualifications to complain to Lao K, but since Laifu has hanged, if the remaining officers don't want to bear Lao K's anger, they can only resolutely complete the task.
So a few officers briefly exchanged ideas, and immediately decided to attack the whole team. When Laifu was alive, he originally planned to drive away the attackers first and then capture Ye Dai, but now this plan has proven unfeasible. So everyone unanimously decided to launch a strong attack.
Lan Xiaotian didn't need to use his brain to guess their intentions, and these guys obviously didn't think they could capture the girl on the embankment alive, so they simply planned to retreat after killing her. Although this is not in line with Lao K's orders, accidents will always happen on the battlefield, and this is almost the best way to go back.
Lan Xiaotian didn't intend to debunk this plan, he turned around and burrowed back into the grass, almost stepping on a person lying on the ground. He leaned over to the man, only to realize that he seemed to be a sharpshooter under Rifle.
The officers under Rifle had little organizational skills, but they were able to move quickly, so a few minutes later, the decisive charge began, and a dense burst of gunfire rang out from the river embankment, and a group of men rushed out of the woods from all directions. Soon the snipers on the opposite shore also began to shoot, and Lan Xiaotian saw with his own eyes that the three people who were running together fell at the same time, obviously being pierced by the same bullet.
