Chapter 224: Gaozhou
A distance of 100 kilometers was indeed nothing before, but in the apocalyptic times of crisis, 100 kilometers is already a long-distance, high-risk long march.
Fortunately, Wei Xu's convoy seems to be huge, but it is actually a small number of people, and it is also an elite route!
The number of people is small, which means that there is not much human taste, so the possibility of attracting powerful alien monsters is also minimized. And so it was, they didn't encounter a powerful alien race on the road that they couldn't resist. As for some other dangers, although they also occur from time to time, they are not worth mentioning in the face of the overwhelming strength of the nineteen capable people in the whole team.
This is the advantage of the elite line in the end times.
There are not many people, so the danger is not great, and the chance of survival is greatly improved. And everyone is a strong warrior, so they can exert their maximum combat power and ensure that there are no weaknesses and gaps.
Less but fine, small but strong, this is the basic law of long-range marching in the last days. The capable troops sent by Wei Dingguo fit perfectly with the above points, so it is not difficult to understand that they can reach Gaozhou all the way without danger.
After arriving in Gaozhou, the troops of the capable people who talked all the way also quieted down, of course, not relying on self-consciousness, but Wei Xu's black face and warning.
"The mission has begun, everyone is in a state of readiness. From now on, all action plans will be drawn up by me and the four deputy captains, and the others can only act in accordance with military orders, not disobey them, ask no questions, and even more so act without permission. ”
Wei Xu got up, his eyes swept over everyone fiercely. Only Qin Duan, who was sitting on the side with his eyes closed, was the one Wei Xu didn't need to look at and couldn't see, and everyone else received Wei Xu's cold eyes, including Su Zhi, who was holding the "maid".
"The four vice-captains are elected by everyone, and the others who are not vice-captains are soldiers, and they can only obey orders and are not allowed to act without permission. If the operation fails, military law engages! ”
In the end, Wei Xu was already fierce and murderous.
At this time, it was the fire phoenix Su Zhi, and she only had to listen quietly.
Under Wei Xu's strict control, these capable people also had to put away their unruly posture and began to maintain some discipline and order. The coercion of the second-level ability still made them have scruples after all.
In this way, the convoy drove into Gaozhou City.
Everything in Gaozhou is almost indistinguishable from their cities, or every city in the last days is actually the same. In the apocalyptic era, under the cannibalistic monsters, the fate of human cities is basically the same. Nothing more than ruined walls, collapsed rubble, deserted, abandoned cities, all these scenes add up to a typical and similar scene of a post-apocalyptic city.
However, it is not completely consistent, the human beings in Gaozhou City are extremely rare, and the number of human survivors who have entered Gaozhou City with such a large team and run out to observe openly or secretly is too small.
There is only one explanation for this, which is that the city is empty, and most of the human population is dead, so there are too few people alive.
After all, they are all capable people, and their sense of sight and hearing is far superior to that of mortals, and a small number of capable people also have the ability to perceive. So even if the humans around them are hiding and dare not come out, they can basically find them.
After entering Gaozhou, they felt it deeply.
The city of Gaozhou is sparsely populated and has a very high mortality rate, with only a small number of humans surviving. Comparing the population and survival rate of their cities, the situation in Gaozhou is indeed extremely bad, which can be fully seen from the population survival rate.
The convoy continued on its way and soon arrived at the military gathering place in the city of Gaozhou.
Wei Xu already knew the road, and when he came back at this time, of course, he was also familiar with the road, and the capable people sitting in the car finally saw the military gathering place in Gaozhou, which was the next battlefield that belonged to them.
Just one glance, their faces suddenly became even more gloomy.
The Gaozhou military gathering place is the same as Wei Dingguo's gathering place, first rushing to build a circle of "city walls" on the periphery as a basic guard, and then sending troops to guard it and arrange patrols, which can be regarded as a reluctant establishment of a defense area, and the military gathering place is protected in it.
However, although Wei Dingguo's city wall was built in a hurry, it has been reinforced and installed in the future, and all kinds of abandoned sandbags, rubble, car furniture, and furniture are piled up on the road, at least thick and heavy enough, and the cannibalistic monsters have no guns, it doesn't matter if there are gaps or seams, the important thing is that there is enough weight to firmly withstand the impact and charge of the cannibalistic monsters.
The walls of the Gaozhou gathering place will not work.
Riddled with holes, simple and weak, not to mention the huge man-eating monsters, even a group of adult elephants, I am afraid that they can easily break through this barrier. As for the more important soldiers, it's even worse!
The morale of these soldiers was low, their clothes were tattered, their hair was unkempt, and their faces were dazed and desperate, and they were huddled behind the wall in despair, looking like a defeated army, no matter how brave it was.
Coming to support such a place, seeing the miserable appearance of friendly troops, even if you haven't seen the enemy army, that is, the powerful alien monster entrenched in Gaozhou City, it is enough to make people feel bad.
Even if a group of capable people rushed to support, everyone's faces became solemn at this time.
However, they were depressed on their side, but they were passionate on Gaozhou's side. After all, since ancient times, hearing and seeing the arrival of reinforcements has always made people happy and excited, so the people on the Gaozhou side are undoubtedly very happy.
General Yue, the head of the Gaozhou military, and Mayor Qu, the mayor of the Gaozhou government, quickly arrived, looking excited to see the head of the organization, and they couldn't wait to hurry up and greet each other.
However, the two of them ran over, but gradually showed a look of surprise and disappointment.
It's a bit strange that this team has come to support.
Although the convoy looks quite small, most of them are transport vehicles, and there are very few soldiers getting off the car, and many of the vehicles are empty!
Empty!
General Yue and Mayor Qu turned blue at the same time, and their faces were full of disappointment.
And the car at the front of the team is actually a modified off-road RV. An RV is originally a vehicle used for enjoyment, camping, and leisure. Modding such a thing has absolutely nothing to do with combat and survival. In the post-apocalyptic era, if you have such ability and kung fu, it is better to quickly modify a few armed vehicles, whether it is to transport troops and goods, or to act as a mobile force to provide fire support, it is far more reliable.
Seeing such a wasteful modified RV, they can only grieve and be completely disappointed in the so-called support.
Wei Xu didn't care what the other party's mood was, he immediately got out of the car, and after a military salute, he said, "Report, we will come to support as agreed." ”
General Yue sighed: "This is General Wei's people, you guys came on time." ”
"Coming to our industrial equipment in Gaozhou, can you do it on time, but apart from punctuality, it is estimated that there is nothing left." Mayor Qu couldn't help but be full of disappointment and anger, and couldn't help but say.
Wei Dingguo can control the military and political forces of the entire city with one hand, which is actually a special case, and it is also because of Qin Duan. Qin Duan's move, in addition to Mayor Ke Tanguan, for Wei Dingguo, is undoubtedly to eliminate a huge hidden danger and opponent, so that Wei Dingguo can swallow the power of the entire city and form an absolute rule with only his own voice.
Other cities are obviously not good, the head of the garrison is a military chief, who can master military power. The head of the government is the mayor, who is in charge of the administrative money and food of a city, and can be regarded as a decisive ruler.
Unless the military leaders brazenly launch a mutiny and civil war, kill the mayor first, and take over the government forces, they can only cooperate with the mayor to resist the alien race.
There are very few people who dare to start a civil war and mutiny immediately, and most of them accept cooperation and survive together.
The same is true in Gaozhou City.
The military gathering place was controlled by General Yue and Mayor Qu, and originally took in 20,000 or 30,000 people. However, the great war broke out one after another, the death toll was more than one death, and in desperation, many people fled, and today, their military gathering place is only more than 10,000 people.
Compared with the thriving Wei Dingguo gathering place, the Gaozhou City gathering place is really precarious, and it will be destroyed at any time.
Because of this recurring alien monster, the humans of Gaozhou have died and fled, and it has basically become an empty city.
"Mayor Qu rest assured, since we dare to come, we have a certain certainty." Wei Xu faced Mayor Qu's accusation, and just said as usual.
Mayor Qu said angrily: "What are you sure about! ”
Wei Xu said: "Just like our deal, we will kill the alien monsters that have been entrenched for a long time, and you will give us the industrial equipment." ”
At this time, the people on the RV and the soldiers on the convoy all got out of the car one by one. Mayor Qu took a look at it, and it is estimated that there are no more than fifty people in this convoy when it is full.
Fifty people? What can fifty people do? Their army was slaughtered by that alien monster nearly 10,000 people, and the real soldiers have been slaughtered, and then they only kept selecting the people, and put ordinary people into the battlefield after a little training, and the result can be imagined, only continuous defeat, defeat after defeat. To tell the truth, in fact, every time you fight, the alien monsters eat and kill their fill, and they take the initiative to retreat, rather than being repelled by them. This monster stared at them, retreated for a while, and then continued to come again, like a ghost, a tarsal ghost.
Mayor Qu was already desperate under such pressure, and he originally regarded Wei Dingguo's support troops as the last straw, but at this time he was extremely disappointed and angry.
"Just remember, if you can't do it, I'll burn everything and destroy it, and I won't leave it to you!" Mayor Qu pointed at Wei Xu's nose and yelled a few times, then turned around and left without looking back.
General Yue was very embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled bitterly: "Don't mind, don't mind, it's just that the pressure is too much, and it's a little uncontrollable, so be considerate." ”
General Yue knew that Wei Dingguo's son was still a capable person. For the capable people, in fact, he also knows a lot, knowing that they have inhuman combat power, and at the same time, they are basically a group of uncles who can't afford to offend, so he quickly appeased Wei Xu.
Wei Xu didn't mean to be angry at all, and said: "We have nineteen capable people here, this is our support, how many of your troops and capable people do you have, we will deploy them uniformly, and strive to leave that alien monster before the next arrival!" ”
"What?!" General Yue suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed. "Nineteen? The capable? How is this possible! ”
This kind of thing really surprised him, because there were only seven people in Gaozhou, and only three of them were willing to obey the orders of the military. These three masters have always been difficult to serve, even in the face of General Yue and Mayor Qu, they are also looking at the top. However, no matter how difficult it is to serve the marquis, they can only admit it with a bitter face, because these three capable people are indeed very useful and irreplaceable. But General Yue never thought that among the fifty people supported by Wei Dingguo, there could be nineteen capable people, which is simply incredible.
General Yue didn't know that the reason why there were a large number of capable people in their city was actually closely related to Qin Dui, precisely because it was Qin Dui's rebirth, a large amount of information flowed out, and also because Qin Dui had been active in the opening of the channel in the other world, which invisibly gave a large number of humans a chance to evolve, and after opening the gap, it formed a benign reaction, allowing human beings to frequently succeed under the attack of earth creatures and alien races. Therefore, the number of capable people in their cities far exceeds that of other cities.
And in fact, the number of capable people in an entire city like Gaozhou does not exceed ten people, which is normal!
Therefore, it is completely understandable that General Yue was difficult to accept for a while.
Is it true?! General Yue knew that this kind of lie that could be debunked casually could not exist at all, and it was impossible for the other party to lie, but he still couldn't help but wonder if it was a lie, after all, such a thing was too amazing.
Wei Xu just nodded lightly.
General Yue looked at Wei Xu, as well as the more than a dozen people behind Wei Xu, and immediately gasped.
He hurriedly said: "Do you want to take a break, I will prepare the best room and the best food immediately, everyone has come from afar, it has been hard, so take a break." ”
"Not necessarily!" Wei Xu interrupted General Yue's warm hospitality. "The longer our people are gone, the more dangerous it will be for our own gathering place, so we have a meeting right away and the dispute is resolved right away."
"Yes, yes, yes! Immediately a meeting, I immediately gathered all the officers, as well as our three capable people, all of them to a meeting, and we immediately studied countermeasures to try to destroy that monster in one battle. ”
General Yue returned to the water as if he had been drying fish on the shore for a long time, and immediately his whole body came to life, guiding the convoy into their gathering place.
The huge convoy slowly drove in.
At this time, in a tall building in the distance, a person was quietly hiding in the shadows, holding a high-definition multiplier telescope in his hand, secretly observing Wei Xu's convoy and those who were numerous.
He looked through the binoculars in his hand until he locked onto an unassuming-looking man in the ranks. This man has ordinary facial features and an average momentum, walking among a group of capable people, he is inconspicuous and ordinary, making it difficult for people to notice his existence.
But as soon as he stared at the man with his binoculars, the man immediately felt something, and he quickly raised his head and looked in this direction with an expressionless face.
The person who was secretly observing was immediately startled, he did not dare to look again, quickly let go of the telescope, and retracted into the deeper darkness.
"It's so strong, it's really strong, it's terrifying."
At such a long distance, if he didn't use a high-definition magnification telescope, he wouldn't even be able to see a human figure at all. There are more than a dozen capable people, and no one has discovered their prying eyes at all, but he only focused his attention on that person slightly, and he actually felt it immediately, although it was impossible for him to see himself, but just with such a keen sense, and even the ability to grasp his own direction in an instant, it was extremely terrifying!
However, although this person was afraid, the corners of his mouth showed a hideous and vicious smile.
"Qin Dui, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." (To be continued.) )
