Watson always felt safe.

Of course, it knew what was going on and what it was up against.

Attacking Oviado was a mistake. If time could be reversed, Watson swears he would rather nothing had happened. It was a terrible feeling. Firmly targeted by a human, like an invisible blood-sucking leech that coils around him anytime and anywhere, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to himself.

Yes, this human named Su Hao is that damn leech.

Decades have passed, and he still remembers what happened to Oviado. What's the name of that warband under his command? Red Dragons, yes, this is it. Those Imperial Legionnaires are a bunch of madmen who are constantly attacking the dark world, fearless to death, and every time they conquer a place, they carry out the most complete destruction of it. The human slave farms were constantly destroyed, and every dark creature they caught or killed was without exception beheaded and forked to the ground with sticks, just like the dark prayer ritual they once did in Oviado.

There is no logic in a madman. In the face of this extremely persistent and extremely powerful attack posture, the high-ranking nobles of the dark world also sensed that something was wrong. The Dark Legion attacked the Imperial forces that had invaded their territory from two directions, but suffered successive crushing defeats. Human warriors never leave any captives, and the Dark World is no different, a tacit understanding formed between the warring parties over tens of thousands of years. However, this time, the Red Dragon Legion's style of play shocked every imperial noble.

Their ferocity and tyranny are simply beyond words. It's not just the brutal slaughter of dark creatures of war, every place they occupy has been sprayed with poison and all kinds of contaminating agents. Even if the Dark Army were to win and regain these places, they would not be able to use them again, let alone build slave farms.

This is a very extreme scorched-earth policy.

Watson didn't know that someone was in private contact with the Red Dragons behind his back. The name Su Hao has now risen to the same status as other main army commanders in the dark world. It's not that this human is powerful, but that there is no logic to what he does, and he doesn't care about it, and acts entirely on his own beheels.

What was the result of those dark nobles coming into contact with Su Hao? Watson didn't realize until much later that he had been betrayed by his own people.

Su Hao's request is very clear: hand over Watson, the Dark Earl who attacked Oviado City, and Lancelot, another Dark Earl, who is also a Dark Earl.

Otherwise, this kind of practice of completely igniting the dark world will continue even if it costs a lot of its own resources, even if it consumes a lot of its own resources.

The next thing that happened was that Watson accepted an invitation from a certain dark duke to the mansion. For this kind of high-level aristocracy's initiative to woo, Watson felt flattered and happily went to it. Then, under the watchful eye of the smiling Duke of Darkness, he happily drank a large glass of wine made of human blood, and then inexplicably got drunk. Then, when I opened my eyes, I saw Su Hao.

Su Hao has always wanted to kill Watson. However, when this guy appeared in front of him, he lost the incomparably persistent thoughts he once had. It's like someone who has been working hard for a salary increase and promotion for a long time, but after actually getting it, he feels that these things are not as important as he imagined, and he sees more and thinks of more ambitious goals.

"You did all those things in Oviado?"

"I don't like dark creatures, especially dark nobles like you."

"I'm not going to let you live, you're going to die a miserable death."

Su Hao's voice was extremely cold, and Watson shuddered when he heard it.

Shiddering, it feels weird.

That's really how Watson feels. However, this feeling is the thinking consciousness in Su Hao's brain at the moment.

This is not the Overworld, but a space field called Scatterson 11.

Watson is long dead.

Su Hao watched as the Dark Earl was cut off by the Great Guillotine, then cut into pieces, and finally burned to ashes by the high-powered flame gun.

This qiē happened half a month ago.

Now, it's just a memory in my meditative mind.

There is also a Dark Earl Lancelot, who is also one of his own targets.

Su Hao's thinking returned to reality.

To be sure, this vast plain in front of you is indeed one of the few places in the space realm of Scatterson 11 that can make people feel happy and feel comfortable.

Nearly 40,000 square kilometers of plains, the terrain is flat and endless. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on the other, the geographical position is easy to defend and difficult to attack: the wide and flat plains can be used as convenient conditions for base construction, army maneuvering, artillery deployment and even the take-off and landing of heavy airships. The mountains that surround it are extremely dangerous, and with the favorable terrain, the defenders can easily withstand enemies many times their size.

This is the only remaining comfort for Su Hao.

Now is not the time to think about Lancelot, Earl of Darkness.

Su Hao was silent for a few seconds, got up from his chair, slowly walked to the huge desk, and stared at the combat map with an expressionless face.

Except for the small piece at the foot that still bears the emblem of the Imperial Double-headed Eagle, the rest of the place has been filled with dense dark creatures, especially the marks of the Space Chaos Legion.

Demons, they have joined the war here.

Su Hao knew this name, but he still felt unfamiliar with demons and the Chaos Legion.

"Your Excellency, the Sixth Company has entered the position and completed the deployment." A staff officer wearing a power armor next to him reported.

"Very well, I thought they would bring some more bad news." Su Hao nodded calmly: "So they have succeeded?" ”

"That's true, they have lived up to the trust of His Majesty the Emperor."

Pastor Tolugar walked over as he spoke. He is tall, and he no longer has the majesty of his past, but looks haggard. Torugal subconsciously moved his sore shoulders a few times and said, "The Sixth Company is holding back the traitor corps at the Ragar Pass. The unit that was previously responsible for garrisoning here was the 4th Regiment of the 73rd Division of the Wehrmacht Space Army. They fought fiercely for four days and three nights, and in the end they were all killed. Relying on the time they exchanged for their lives, the Sixth Company was able to complete the arming. ”

Su Hao sighed deeply.

In the past few days, I have heard too much of this news.

He turned his head to see his psionic retinue still sitting in front of the communicator, struggling. Still haven't been contacted? The situation in the space of Scatterson 11 is very urgent, and it is urgent to report the current situation to the legion headquarters: the battle with the dark creatures was just at the most critical stage, and suddenly a large number of dark reinforcements appeared in the back. Now, countless Chaos Legions have suddenly appeared. What had been good for the empire was now chaos. Imperial forces have been forced to retreat from most of this space, suffering heavy casualties. The 11th Division of the Space Army already had two regiments with more than half of the casualties. Due to the haste of the retreat, it is not known how many scattered troops were abandoned in enemy-occupied areas. At present, the combat strength of the Space Army is less than half of that when it first arrived at "Scatterson 11". In contrast, the combat team that had arrived a few days earlier had gradually become the backbone of the Imperial military here.

If there were no more reinforcements, the situation would be completely out of control.

The same bad news came from the communicator: "The establishment of the Chaos Legion Fortress has been confirmed. ”

Immediately after, there was another piece of bad news: "According to the reconnaissance report, the Mechanical Priest believes that among the Chaos Legions who have landed in space, there is a high probability that there is a Filthy Titan. ”

Chaos Legion, why are they so many people here at once?

The ranks of these traitors worked as precisely as a machine, from the initial contact battles to the large-scale entry into space to build fortresses, completely methodically, God knows how long they had been preparing and planning for this.

Yes, the traitors have launched a full-scale invasion of this territory of His Majesty the Emperor.

Torugal walked over, the tiredness on his face not abated in the slightest: "But a few days ago, when we sent out that report, the situation was still unclear, and many places were just speculations, and importantly, there was no evidence of a large-scale invasion by Chaos!" It is unlikely that that the report alone will have the Theater Command and Corps Headquarters send reinforcements to the Scatterson 11. ”

"The space of Scatterson 11 does not have much strategic value, and in the eyes of the theater command, there is no reason for the Chaos Legion to invade this space on a large scale, and they will doubt the authenticity of the report."

Torugal continued, while shrugging helplessly: "Just a few days ago, I saw it that way. ”

"But the facts are in front of us, and even with the favorable topography of this plain, we will not be able to hold out for long without reinforcements."

Su Hao kept shaking his head with a grim expression. It was the first time he had encountered such a dire situation: "What about the rest of the Wehrmacht? How are they? And the Assassin troops sent by the Holy See, I remember they deployed a special operations team here, where are those people now? ”

"I don't know where I am, and I can't get in touch at all. I suspect that those arrogant guys are deliberately cutting off communication with us. And the inquisitor who led the team, the guy who was also missing, didn't know where to run with his battle nun. ”

Su Hao felt his heart sink suddenly. All the news is bad. However, the time for complete despair has not yet come.

"Try to hold on!"

He quickly came to the final conclusion: "It is necessary to hold out until the last moment and wait for a miracle." Even if it is because this space field does not have much strategic value. ”

Everyone was cold, and everyone understood what that meant.

Su Hao accentuated his tone: "This is our responsibility. ”

That's how the war is, there's nothing to be done at the moment but wait.

Su Hao entered meditation again.

He doesn't know why he meditates so often?

I just feel that this practice can let me know a lot of secrets that I have never thought of, and may even be hidden in the depths of my mind forever.

The scene returns to the earth, the city of Kunming, where mutant creatures are raging.

Su Hao's search continues.

The people who stayed in the shelter had all been gathered at a makeshift base next to the riverbank. This huge, sturdy underground building has been turned into Su Hao's backup warehouse.

Easy-to-preserve foods such as biscuits and canned food, more than half of weapons and ammunition, and a considerable portion of oil, medicines, and other materials. All were moved into underground shelters and mothballed.

Su Hao has always believed that the idiom "three holes of cunning rabbits" is the best portrayal of his current situation. He didn't plan to pile everything up in one place. After all, no one can say what tomorrow will bring. Rather than concentrating on bases that are not well defended, it is better to bury them underground. No one can find it but himself

Search has now become the most important thing for everyone.

The various types of refugees who have joined this small group have a considerable "interest" in the daily search work.

Winter is coming.

Once upon a time, for people who lived in times of peace. The snowy winter day is really full of incomparable romance and beauty. All they need to do is sit in the warmth of their homes, lean against the roaring fireplace, eat a delicious meal, and enjoy the laziness and tiredness of the long winter days. Then, with a feeling of great happiness, huddle in the soft duvet nest and fall asleep comfortably! This is indeed a supreme happiness. It is enviable to talk about, and it is extremely desirable for happiness.

In terms of latitude, the location of the temporary base is in the temperate zone of Asia. Despite its proximity to the desert, winters are still cold. There are even occasional snowfalls.

No, it doesn't seem to be Kunming, it should be somewhere that the future world itself knows.

I want to survive this winter. There are many things to prepare.

Fuel, clothing, food......

In order to ensure that all the remaining materials in the surrounding area can be used in a practical way. The search team arranged by Su Hao was a group of five people. With the base as the core, a dragnet search is carried out towards the surrounding edges.

If you are a member of a search squad. You'll be surprised to learn that it's not really a search at all. The actions of these people are, to be exact, more like a group of hungry and poor people.

They simply don't miss anything that might be worth taking advantage of.

Iron nails, tattered scrap steel tools, anything that could be associated with metal, they all shipped back like treasures. Stacked on the open field of the base.

These things, after being smelted, may be the necessary raw materials for the manufacture of weapons and ammunition in the future.

Dead trees, dry wood blocks, weeds, plastic scraps. It is also an indispensable treasure in their eyes. All of these are valuable fuels that can be used to protect against the cold.

The location of the base, although it has basically left the desert circle. However, there is not much to eat in this land.

Fresh grass roots, grass seeds, some edible leaves, the occasional hunted sand snake and lizard, plus a small amount of eggs and adults occasionally found in ant nests. These things, on a certain dù, can be used to offset the normal consumption of dough and jerky.

It's not a long-term solution. In order to truly obtain a stable source of food, hunting and simple searching are not enough.

If there is water, you can irrigate.

Seeds of crops brought from the abandoned city were sown in batches on a reclaimed land adjacent to the base.

At that time, the seeds were taken with the car only for food reserves. As for how much of a role they could actually play, Su Hao never had much hope for it.

People may not be able to take care of it, where can we talk about farming?

His real attention is still on the daily collection of supplies.

Since two days ago, the harvest of the various search teams has been greatly reduced. A qiē edible and usable thing within a radius of more than ten kilometers from the base. They were all completely looted. Except for sand and dirt, there's nothing to look at.

Under such circumstances, Su Hao had to refocus his gaze on the dots outlined in eye-catching red in a few corners of the map.

These are some of the closest populating points to the base.

The experience of encountering large-scale mutant creatures made Su Hao have an inexplicable fear of these abandoned villages and towns. No one knows if there will be tens of thousands of hungry mutated creatures hidden under the ground of these gathering points?

I think of the terrifying scene of thousands of mutated creatures rushing to pounce on me. Su Hao was always scared out of a cold sweat.

I don't know if it's because of low intelligence, or because of the change in food habits after mutation. In the towns that I searched before, some of the food that was scattered was still well preserved. The alienated mutant creatures weren't even interested in looking at them more.

In the barren desert, what do xenobiotic creatures eat to get by?

Is it sand?

This question has been in Su Hao's mind for a long time.

Either way, search the surrounding towns for any supplies they might have left. It's already imperative. Otherwise, only the current internal resource reserves of the base. It's going to be hard to get through this winter safely.

More than 40 kilometers to the west, there is a small settlement. According to the map, the total number of people in it was once as high as more than 200.

Twenty empty heavy trucks, two jeeps for reconnaissance and leadership, and more than 60 heavily armed combatants. That's all there is to set off with Su Hao.

If you're lucky, there should be enough in the town. If you can fill the cargo compartments of all the vehicles, you will no longer have to worry about hoarding food for a long time to come.

Su Hao did not skimp on the rationing of weapons.

All members of the entourage were accompanied by several heavy fully loaded magazines. Even a multi-barreled machine gun that was originally erected at the entrance and exit of the base wall had less than a thousand spare bullets left. All of them were loaded onto the truck and became part of the people's armament. A terrifying scene of tens of thousands of mutated creatures rushing to pounce. Su Hao was always scared out of a cold sweat.
