Chapter 156: Doubts!
Chapter 156: Doubts!
Now......
There will be some connection between a military base and some survivor settlements that are not too remote......
In any case, everyone is a survivor......
Compared with the three parties of demons, blood and mutant creatures, the human survivors are now an out-and-out weak party!!
That is to say, today's human beings are surviving in the gap between these three parties, and it is not an exaggeration at all!!
Under this premise......
When encountering something, it is indispensable to support each other between the bases!!
Now the southeastern military base has suddenly been subjected to a nuclear attack......
It makes sense that Xia Jian should take a look......
Not to mention......
Just ten minutes ago, Xia Jian also got Qin Xiaotian's old immortal from Shi Huan, and promised Yanjing that he planned to unite against him......
With this, Xia Jian has even more reason to figure out who is attacking the southeast military base at this juncture......
The good news is that this is not the case......
I want to ......
Limited by the lack of suitable transportation, if Xia Jian wanted to go out, the round trip would often be ten days and half a month......
And now!!
With the Scorching Sun, no matter where Xia Jian wants to go, it is often a matter of a few hours......
This is also the biggest advantage of Pangu City compared with other potentials!
The only bad thing is that the Scorching Sun consumes a little more energy crystals!!
…………
With one order after another......
Pangu City, which has not yet woken up from the state of revelry. It's busy again......
Not only did the city go to wartime......
Even the destroyer USS Mastin, which is a force of mobility, and the aircraft carrier USS George Washington have left the military port one after another!!
Now......
Cao Lei's ability has been developed by Xia Jian, if he is there. As long as you don't deliberately provoke some sea creatures that are too perverted, the fleet is on the sea, and there is no need to worry about danger......
Compared with other potential forces, this is another big advantage of Pangu City!!
Ten minutes later......
After replenishing enough energy crystals......
The Scorching Sun has officially set sail!!
………………
The Scorching Sun is fast......
However, compared to the civil aircraft flying around in the sky before the Great Breakdown, the speed is actually slightly inferior......
Speaking of which, there is something that makes Xia Jian very discouraged......
Because even now. mobilized all the manpower and material resources he could mobilize, but Xia Jian couldn't figure out what power the Scorching Sun relied on......
And because of that......
Now the scorching sun is smart! And it can adapt to various terrains and various climates......
Only in terms of speed. It's limited to a certain extent!!
So, by the time Xia Jian arrived at his destination, it was already early in the morning......
In the sky, a faint morning light has begun to appear......
It's different from Pearl City......
Today's weather in South-Eastern Province. But it's not that good. Heavy winds and snow swept through the night......
In the sky, black clouds rolled, and at first glance, it felt as if the sky was about to fall......
Wait until you get to the ground......
The speed of the Scorching Sun slowed down slowly......
(On weekdays, and more often than not, the Sun acts as a means of transport.) Xia Jian naturally couldn't tie himself to it! It is now, on the Scorching Sun. Dedicated operators are already available!! ）
…………
Xia Jian skillfully called up the holographic map from the console......
The situation outside was immediately fed back to the control room platform of the Scorching Sun in real time......
It's just that......
After seeing the situation outside, Xia Jian couldn't help frowning......
In fact, it's not just Xia Jian......
Storm and Yasha, who were standing on the side, were actually not much better than Xia Jian at this moment, their brows furrowed one by one, their faces full of doubt and doubt......
What's going on?
Originally......
At this moment, on the platform, on the shrunken holographic map, there is clearly an endless field of ice and snow outside......
Occasionally, one or two rudimentary bases can be found between the jungle and the ruins of the city......
Although Xia Jian has not personally been to the southeast military base!! But on weekdays, I will more or less come into contact with some intelligence and information related to the southeastern military base......
And in the description of those intelligence and information, the southeast military base is what it looks like in front of you......
In a nutshell......
Here at the southeastern military base, there was no so-called nuclear explosion at all!!
For this, Xia Jian is very sure!!
After all, Xia Jian, Yasha, and Storm all experienced the nuclear explosion in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City......
In the past three months, when Xia Jian was extremely bored, he also drove the Scorching Sun to the sky over Shenzhen-Hong Kong City after the nuclear explosion and went around a few times......
Naturally, we know what happened on the ground after the nuclear explosion!!
"Could it be that Liu Li and Hu Xiaoping miscalculated the coordinates?"
After her doubts, Yasha carefully raised her suspicions......
Xia Jian patted his forehead speechlessly......
Although Xia Jian didn't believe that Liu Li and Hu Xiaoping's calculations would be wrong, looking at the southeast military base in front of him, which had not changed much, it seemed that he could really only explain it like this......
The last one gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Don't rush ...... first"
"It's a big deal, let's check all the surrounding areas......"
As soon as these words came out, Asha and the storm were ......
"No problem......"
"What a shame!"
The detection range of the Scorching Sun is almost 100 miles......
What needs to be investigated is another large-yield nuclear explosion!
With these two premises......
Even if the entire southeast province is filtered again. It's only a matter of hours......
………………
Just thinking and doing are the same thing......
Whether the result can be produced or not is another matter!!
It's 10 ...... noon
Xia Jian and his entourage finally took most of the entire southeast province. As well as some places in the surrounding provinces, they were thoroughly inspected......
But I couldn't find the location of the nuclear explosion!!
By this time......
Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone basically knew in their hearts that there might be something wrong with this "nuclear explosion......
Even, two hours ago, Xia Jianjiang had already made his discovery. sent back to Pangucheng, and asked Liu Li and Hu Xiaoping to re-analyze last night's data......
It's just that this will, Liu Li and Hu Xiaoping's side. The final results of the analysis are not yet available......
When you don't have a clue......
Xia Jian could only let the Scorching Sun return to the southeast military base again......
Now......
The sun in the sky has begun to move westward......
In just over an hour, it will be dark!!
This whole day. Xia Jian can be said to have spent all his time in this aimless search and investigation......
"How long will it take for Liu Li to be over there?"
Xia Jian at this time. The mood was already very unhappy, and his face was cold unconsciously......
I don't blame him......
After all, no matter who it is, after a busy day, the mood will definitely not be much better......
It's just that......
Since they came out, Storm and Yasha have been almost inseparable from Xia Jian, Xia Jian doesn't know what to do, how can they answer it......
I can only shake my head depressed!!
"Hell knows!!"
The storm also began to complain......
Their mood at the moment. It's not much better......
But if you really want to go home like this, let's not talk about these energy crystals wasted by the Scorching Sun today. Just this brainless trip for nothing makes people unwilling......
So just wait here stupidly?
It doesn't seem to work either......
"Or ......"
Yasha hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Shall we go down and have a look?" ”
Yasha also made a choice out of desperation......
Since you can't see what is wrong on the map of the whole system, you might as well go deep into the southeast military base and take a walk and take a look for yourself......
If something big happened in the southeast military base last night......
Then there will be news below!!
However, Xia Jian also hesitated for a moment......
In the end, he simply nodded: "That's it!!" Asha, you go down with me, storm, you stay! If Liu Li has news from there, tell us immediately? ”
Storm nodded suddenly: "No problem......"
………………………………
To say......
Over the past year or so, Xia Jian has really been to a lot of bases......
Especially with the Sun......
In his spare time, Xia Jian even went to Japan and the United States......
But when it comes to the southeast military base, Xia Jian is really the first time to come here!!
Compared with other bases, the southeast military base has an extremely significant feature......
Compared with other military bases, the armed strength of the southeast military base is actually not very high......
However, due to the geographical location, the southeast military base has an extremely significant advantage!!
That's the population!!
As the most economically developed, the most prosperous, the most culturally open and the most industrialized region in China, the southeast region has always been the most densely populated area of migrant workers at home and abroad......
To say that the southeast region is home to half of the population of the whole country must be a bit exaggerated!!
But a third, that's definitely there!!
(Including the floating population!!) ）
The sheer population base has doomed the number of survivors here to be much higher than the rest of the country......
Corresponding ......
As the largest and most powerful military base in the entire southeastern region, the southeastern military base is naturally self-evident in its attraction to the survivors in the southeast......
According to statistics some time ago, the southeastern military base, just the registered population, there are more than 5 million!!
That's not even counting those wanderers who rely on the southeastern military base and wander around!!
In the country......
In terms of population, it can be compared with the southeastern military base. Perhaps only the original center of the country, the Yanjing military base, remains......
…………
Large population base......
That's a good thing!!
But again, a huge number of survivors. and the unique relatively relaxed policy, which is also destined to be chaotic compared to other bases, the management of the southeast military base is also doomed......
After all, there are too many vagrants who rely on the production of the southeastern military base!
No one can know everyone......
In this case, there are suddenly two more people in the wilderness in this area, so naturally it can't attract everyone's attention......
When Xia Jian and Yasha arrived, the two of them came to the gate of the main base......
It's getting dark......
But and the ancient city. As soon as it gets dark, it is completely forbidden to enter and exit......
At the southeastern military base, there are too many small survivor settlements outside the city that rely on the main base to survive. Even at night, there are people coming in and out......
In time......
The city gates are simply closed all night!!
In Liu Guowei's mind, there are such small bases on the periphery as sentry posts anyway......
If there are really blood and demons to attack, the main base will definitely receive news!!
This is also convenient for Xia Jian and Yasha!!
Directly hand over two soldier-grade blood crystals. As a cost of entry into the city. Receive two license plates representing temporary status, and then pass the virus test, and the guards at the door will let them go!!
Even the invisibility talisman prepared by Xia Jian was saved!!
See this......
Xia Jianda shook his head!!
In Xia Jian's mind, this Liu Guowei can be regarded as a hero!
Why is the inspection of the city gate so lax?!!
…………
But again......
Xia Jianhui has this kind of feeling, which can only show that Xia Jian is not very clear about the actual situation of the southeast military base......
In Pangu City!
Xia Jian said yes!! No one dares to disobey Xia Jian's intentions!!
What does Xia Jian want to do......
Or what system Xu Reni and Liu Li want to implement, as long as Xia Jian gives an order, even if the people below are unhappy. That has to be honestly followed......
In a way......
At this time, the system of Pangu City is a bit biased towards the slavery system of ancient times!!
On the other hand, other bases......
Especially the kind of large military bases. Although there are one or two people in each base......
But this person has a hard time controlling the base, but it is difficult to do it to the point where Xia Jian is!
In this case......
If the person in question wants to maintain his control over the base, he must compromise with other forces in the base to a certain extent......
The larger the base, the more pronounced this becomes......
The Southeastern Military Base is no exception!!
Under the strong request of the bosses of the vassal base below, Liu Guowei had to make some compromises......
Outside the city at night, the city gates are not closed, it is one of these compromises!!
Of course......
If the curfew is not enforced, it is only the outer city!!
The inner city is a different story......
Although Liu Guowei will compromise on some things, he will never compromise on these fundamental matters!!
…………
Wait until you enter the city gate......
The noise and excitement in the city completely blinded Xia Jian's eyes......
What's the situation?
At the beginning, for convenience, a large market was set up not far from the main city gate, which was convenient for people inside and outside the city to conduct various transactions......
Now......
After more than a year of development......
This originally very simple bazaar has developed to a certain scale!!
Even if it's night......
But this market area is still brightly lit and full of people......
A large number of strong people who have been busy outside all day and have gained something will return with their own harvest, and then exchange them for the materials they need in the bazaar......
Besides......
These people are out there desperately working, busy with their lives at risk, and have been busy for so long......
I finally came back, in exchange for a lot of supplies, before going out again, I naturally wanted to relax, happy and happy!
Where there is demand, there will be a market!
In this case......
Naturally, various recreational facilities have also been established in the market area......
Don't say anything else......
Xia Jianguang was walking on the street, and he met more than a dozen beautiful women who came to talk to him......
Later, there was a man who also ran over to give Xia Jian a flattering look, which made Xia Jian have goosebumps!!
In addition, Xia Jian was on the street, and he also saw several simple gambling houses!!
These gambling houses are built on the streets in such a fair way......
There are four late-stage Evolvers standing at the door! Through the low door curtain, you can faintly hear the constant shouting and noise in the gambling house......
…………
Of course......
The whole bazaar, in addition to the prosperity on the surface, naturally also has a dark side......
The world has changed after all!
Along the way, in the dark corners of the roadside, Xia Jian saw one or two corpses without any breath of life from time to time......
Some people even drew knives on the street because of some small quarrels!!
Although there are patrolling guards too!!
But by the time the guards arrived, the perpetrators had already left......
Violence everywhere!!
Everywhere is filled with this blood!!
See this......
Xia Jian couldn't help but shake his head......
In Xia Jian's view, it is prosperous here......
Even compared to before the Great Apocalypse, the level of prosperity is not bad at all......
But now, after all, it's the end of the world!!
A perilous apocalypse!!
And human beings, now, are just surviving between the three races of mutated creatures, demons and blood races, and their situation is really worrying......
These people, with this time, don't know how to seize the time to improve their strength!!
On the contrary, I am drunk and dreaming of death here!!
This gave Xia Jian the feeling that these people were in the last carnival before their demise!!
…………
However, Xia Jian also knew that this was not his own territory after all!!
All you can do is sigh......
The most urgent task now is to find out whether there was any major incident in the vicinity of this southeastern military base last night......
Speaking of inquiry......
That's Yasha's forte!!
In this regard, Xia Jian naturally made the best use of everything, and had already entered the market, so he sent Yasha out early......
And Yasha's efficiency is indeed high!
When Xia Jian came back from a walk, Yasha was already waiting for him at the agreed place of union......
Merely......
The news brought by Yasha made Xia Jian even more strange......
"Yesterday it was the same as usual, there were no explosions at all......
"Not to mention the explosion, in fact, there was not even a big conflict......"
"There hasn't been any similar news coming back from outside either......"
