Volume 1 Section 222 Shooting
Su Hao stood in place for a long time, staring at these people coldly.
Originally, he wanted to sneak up on the plan, and the target was only the important materials and machinery that he fancied. Of course, the number of rescued civilians who promised Wang Qinian will definitely not be less, and even more.
All kinds of efforts in the early stage, all kinds of clever layouts implemented secretly, with the computer coding given by Zhang Shengfei, completely lost its effect. Su Hao has become the controller of the new Nanyang Base City, and he can freely control the heavy workshop and take away all kinds of core mechanical components openly. Even the ten train wagons obtained through Wang Qinian can be justifiably entered into the train operation schedule, and there is no need to prevaricate with various excuses.
The benefits are clear.
The downside is just as obvious.
In order to ensure the success of the Battle of Hefei, Zhang Shengfei took all his henchmen with him. The remaining garrison commanders and logistics chiefs can be regarded as his cronies, but they will not be rigid and loyal to carry out a dead man's orders———— yes, you Zhang Shengfei is indeed the commander of the 184 Group Army, and he is the highest authority in Xinnanyang Base City. If the commander was still alive and leading the remnants of the troops on the way back to Xinnanyang, then no one would question Su Hao, but would be convinced to complete every one of his orders without discount.
Now, Zhang Shengfei has died in battle, so he naturally has no qualifications to continue to command the living. It's a democracy now, and it's a movie or a fantasy novel to be loyal to a king or an emperor or something like that.
The great retreat will only leave a tattered new Nanyang.
There is no population, no soldiers, no resources, there is simply no future here. The entire circle of interests has been crushed, and the interests that once existed have completely disappeared...... Well, even if you Su Hao is right, the retreat is to avoid the mutated creatures and make everyone live better. But how do you know that those monsters are coming in this direction? Wouldn't they choose to go north or south? The earth is so big, there are so many roads, they are not human beings, why do they have to choose this place as a breakthrough? It is also boastful that the monsters besieging the city are as high as two million...... It feels like you know everything, you know everything, and your predictions are more accurate than the gods.
Damn, who believes it?
Words like this are vulgar, and of course no one will say them to their faces. But the thoughts in the mind must always be expressed, and when the repression of the mind reaches the limit, it will definitely explode.
Su Hao knew that no one would agree with his opinion. Even those officers who have raised their hands in agreement are not due to the effect of coercion and pressure?
There are still thousands of soldiers left behind in the new Nanyang base city. The officers who attended the meeting were their immediate superiors. Su Hao originally wanted to persuade these people to achieve the goal of controlling the guarding troops. Now it seems that my thoughts are a little naïve.
They don't believe their word and won't evacuate at all. Even if you agree on the surface, you will definitely put up all kinds of obstacles in private. This kind of thing is not unusual, humans are not mutated creatures, and the cooperation and belief between them is entirely based on the level of interests. If there is no good, the ghost will listen to you.
If there is time, a day, or a 12-hour buffer period, Su Hao will patiently persuade and lure all these people to his side.
However, the battle situation on the front line has been defeated, and the plan formulated by Su Hao must be carried out immediately. He can no longer be as limited as he used to be, let alone play tricks among officials. Every minute saved now means one more person and one more truckload of resources to be lived.
Just now, Su Hao had already made the most reluctant concessions———— letting these officers leave with their families first, providing them with vehicles and fuel, and escorting them along the way.
Since you refuse to accept it, and you are stubborn, then ...... Don't blame me.
A cruel sneer appeared at the corner of Su Hao's mouth.
He stretched out his hand and pressed the pager button on the table, and the closed door of the conference hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Wang Jinlong and Zhang Nan also rushed into the room with several "worker bee" guards, surrounding the chaotic crowd.
The officers immediately fell into confusion and panic, and their eyes released a look of fear and anger. They all looked at Su Hao, who was standing at the head of the conference table, and did not hide the hatred and hostility on their faces.
"What do you want?"
The middle-aged major slapped the table heavily, and shouted angrily at the "worker bee" standing behind him with a gun aimed at him: "How dare you point a gun at me? Do you want to rebel? Don't you know that disobeying the officials is a mortal crime? ”
More and more "worker bees" are pouring into the room from the outside.
Soon, the ratio of officers to guards in the conference hall was more than four to one.
As the "worker bees" closed the door, there was a steady stream of heavy and rapid running in the corridor outside. Judging by the sound, the number of people should be around fifty, if not more.
Several officers who were communicating with the outside with the intercom were shocked to find that the "rustling" radio waves coming from the earpiece were disturbing, and soon turned into a piercing electronic blind sound.
This means that the communication signal is completely blocked, and it is impossible to contact the outside world, and it is not known what is happening outside the tunnel
The garrison commander and the logistics chief stood up at the same time, staring at Su Hao with surprised and cold eyes.
Su Hao remained silent.
The director of logistics asked the first question, he put away his previous cold and mocking expression, his face was solemn, his tone and way of speaking were very cautious, and his expression was a little nervous.
“…… Colonel Sue, what, what the hell is going on? ”
He was shrewd and saw the crux of the problem at a glance. The situation on the ground is out of its control, it is not developing in the expected direction, and ...... The chief of logistics instinctively smelled danger in the air.
Su Hao didn't seem to hear his words. He turned around and said lightly to Wang Jinlong, who was standing next to him, "Kill them————"
As soon as the words fell, Wang Jinlong had already drawn out the dagger, and at a strange speed that ordinary people could not see clearly, he rushed behind the nearest major, clasped the opponent's throat with his left hand, and held the handle of the knife with his right hand, stabbing the sharp dagger into the opponent's side waist, stirring vigorously.
All of the people present were school officials, and they all possessed third-order strengthening strength. In such a narrow environment, firearm shooting can easily cause ricochets and accidental injuries. Suppressing kills with a strong constitution is the best way to deal with it.
"Hmm...... Hmm...... You guys...... You're ......"
The Major's eyes were straight, and his hands were tightly gripping Wang Jinlong's arms, trying his best to break free, and at the same time to warn his companions. But after only a few muffled syllables, his voice became completely dim. When Wang Jinlong pulled the dagger out of his waist, the wound had turned into an extremely terrifying hollow. Minced meat and internal organs gushed out, and feces and blood gushed out of the intestines, and the whole person was completely unconscious.
Zhang Nanyi's speed was a moment faster than Wang Jinlong's. He grabbed the other major by the back of the neck, and the dagger stabbed diagonally through the other's throat. The sheer amount of force combined with the incredible speed caused the Major's head to be severed on the spot and thrown to the floor. To death, his eyes were still wide and his face was full of disbelief.
For a moment, the conference room was filled with terrible screams, and there was a muffled sound of sharp metal piercing the body. Blood poured out of the corpse's body, pooling in the recesses of the floor, congealing a shocking red
"Plop ————"
The Chief of Logistics could no longer maintain his standing position, and fell to his knees with a heavy bend. A large hole had been smashed into his chest, revealing pink lobes and a beating heart. This terrifying wound was inflicted by an ordinary "worker bee" with his fist. Although he did not die on the spot, he could only survive for a few minutes at most.
A large cloud of blood poured out of his mouth, and the cracked ribcage made it impossible for him to make a sound. The chief of logistics struggled, his eyes revealing a look of horror———— he didn't understand, that "worker bee" was just a sergeant, why did he break through the defense with one punch and directly smash his ribs and muscles?
This is not normal. I'm a lieutenant colonel, and I've been injected with third-order strengthening potions.
And he's just a sergeant. Even if he can barely be regarded as an officer, the amount of enhancement potions dispensed will not exceed the second order at most.
The soldier's fortified physique is inferior to that of an officer.
Why am I not his opponent?
Could it be that a second-order enhancer is more powerful than a third-order?
The same question lingered in the minds of other officers. However, no one knows the answer. Rushing from all directions, the "worker bees" surrounded them and killed their chosen targets with the most brutal and swift methods.
They are like sheep surrounded by wolves, unable to resist at all, and can only wait for the fate of being slaughtered
Wang Jinlong, Zhang Nanyi and others are Su Hao's personal guards. They had taken a sufficient amount of Silver Bone, and they had already evolved into a fifth-order enhancer last month. Because it is deliberately kept a low profile, it is rarely on the road in public, and naturally no one notices the problem.
The commander of the garrison sat in his seat all the time, not moving at all.
He also didn't like Su Hao's toughness, as well as that aggressive attitude. However, the form is compelling, and no matter how much you don't like it, you have to make a choice. With a strong foundation for mutual relations, the garrison commander thought that he should be safe, and could even get more benefits from Su Hao's hands.
This self-righteous thought was torn to shreds by a dagger that stabbed into the vest from behind.
He supported the table with both hands, stood up with difficulty, leaned forward, tried his best strength, and with the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, he glared at Su Hao, infinitely painful, and asked vaguely: "What are you for......?" Why do you want to do this? I...... I...... I'm on your side, I don't...... I have no objection, I ...... I've been helping you, why do you want to ......?"
"If you don't have everyone's support, your help won't have any effect."
Su Hao stood in the middle of a group of "worker bees", his words and voice were full of irresistible majesty: "You are not resolute, you have been swaying. Instead of creating too many unstable factors in the next plan, it is better to be ruthless and cut them out one by one. ”
Of course, this is not an excuse for Su Hao to do it temporarily. Since you choose to kill, you must kill Yu Jing. The short-term suppression could not control personal thinking, and although the garrison commander and his subordinates had raised their hands in agreement, they did not approve of Su Hao's killing of his former colleagues. Once you leave this room, out of your sight, fear is replaced by anger and revenge, followed by all kinds of rejection, non-cooperation, and even violent counterattacks.
These are extraordinary times. Only the strongest means can ensure that there is no problem with the plan———— those who refuse to cooperate will be killed, those who hesitate will be killed, and those who have doubts will be killed...... Since none of these people can be spared, then even those who agree with it will definitely die.
They were colleagues, and they all belonged to the formation of the 184 Army. Although Su Hao was designated by Zhang Shengfei as the controller of the base, he did not have any power base. In that case...... Then kill all the officers, and the soldiers who stay at the base will naturally obey Su Hao's orders.
The garrison commander felt a growing pain in his chest, and he covered his wound with all his might, a look of horror in his eyes, and he gulped down blood and air, screaming in grief and indignation.
"You...... You're so arrogant. Without me...... You can't control the entire base without us, you ...... You won't get anything———— you won't get ......"
This sentence consumed the little energy left in his body, and before he finished speaking, the whole person had lost his balance and rolled down the table to the floor, dying.
"You're wrong"
Su Hao looked at him calmly, his eyes clearer than ever: "I have computer-controlled coding, and I also have absolutely loyal and powerful soldiers beyond your imagination. Yes, the garrisons will obey your orders, but as long as you are all dead, they will naturally obey me. Don't forget, now I'm the highest military rank holder in the city. You are only a lieutenant colonel, I am a colonel, and those who disobey the order will only be a dead end————"
The commander of the garrison was no longer audible. His eyes were open until he died, and his whole body was drenched in a pool of blood, motionless.
Wang Jinlong and Zhang Nan also put away their weapons and stood silently behind Su Hao, waiting for the next order.
Looking at the messy conference room, Su Hao shook his head and sighed imperceptibly.
The confused expression lasted less than a second, and in a moment, his gaze became cold and calm again.
"We didn't have time to clean up the site and burn it all down. All units were ordered to immediately carry out the retreat plan. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed————"
A group of people hurried out of the room, and several "worker bees" armed with flamethrowers rushed in and engulfed everything with raging fires.
The sky was filled with clouds, and the pale blue sky seemed to be mixed with too much white on a gouache painting. Although the climate is hot, the sun is not strong, and the occasional wind is slightly humid and cool.
In the wasteland outside the base city, a middle-aged woman with a yellow face and thin muscles was digging wild vegetables.
It is a collapsed ridge, the ditch is full of water, and there are many shepherd's cabbage and cress growing around it, and near the bottom of the ditch, you can see the folded ear roots growing along the surface of the mud ditch.
These wild vegetables are very fresh, as long as you pick the young shoots, wash them in clean water, sprinkle them with salt, and mix them cold. The taste is slightly bitter, but it is much better than being hungry for nothing.
The woman dug hard with a small shovel, sweat oozing from her forehead. She was so attentive that she didn't notice that a man with a greedy expression was lying in the grass dozens of meters behind her, staring at her back with an extremely evil gaze.
The man kept following the woman out of the camp. With a knife in his hand, he prepared to use it in a secluded place———— slitting a woman's throat, stripping her naked clothes and bleeding, then cutting the body into pieces and smuggling it back to his shack. Firewood and water were already prepared there, and there was a large pot. Put a few pieces of ginger from a nearby field and cook it until the evening, and it's a pot of crispy and delicious stew.
The man was clearly hungry. Just thinking about these things with his brain made him lick his lips and feel a burst of pantothenic acid in his stomach.
He clenched the knife tightly.
Just as the man was about to pounce out, he suddenly stopped all his movements, turned around, and looked at the new Nanyang Base City in the distance with a puzzled gaze.
There was a slight tremor on the ground. The amplitude is weak, but the feeling is clear. In the meantime, there was a thick smoke billowing up, and the roar of the engine.
The heavy all-steel city gate was slowly raised by a mechanical winch, revealing a wide and tall doorway. Five heavy off-road vehicles leaped out of it, roaring and rushing out of the city. They were extremely fast, they must have started to accelerate from inside the city, the roaring engines were like monsters roaring, the almost speeding speed made the body jolt, and the wide tires rubbed against the ground, rubbing large sparks, leaving shocking black rubber scratches.
These vehicles are equipped with powerful heavy machine guns, and in addition to the ammunition and machine gunners, there is also a soldier in the open cabin to guard them. The five vehicles quickly crossed the road that ran through the minefield outside the city and rushed into the adjacent refugee camp with great arrogance. The soldier standing in the car pulled the machine gun, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the sky, and fired a string of bullets with a "click".
"Attention, everyone, leave your position at once, retreat along the base of the road, and in a south-west direction.
"No road shall be occupied under any pretext, and the violator shall be killed on the spot ————"
"Leave the camp immediately, this is the first level alert issued by the new Nanyang base city, repeat, leave the camp immediately"
Military control posts outside the city have loudspeakers in many places. Warnings and threats were constantly heard on the radio. Although the announcer is a woman, she does not have the sweet and pleasant voice of peacetime. Her voice is cold and stiff, although her words are clear and her pronunciation is standard Mandarin, but it has an unquestionable element that makes people shudder to listen.
More off-road vehicles and light armored vehicles drove out of the city. Behind them, heavy trucks covered with tarpaulins followed. They seemed to be slower, driving smoothly, in order before and after, and there was no sign of panic.
