The deepest mysteries are often hidden in the simplest appearances. It's like these unremarkable-looking dilapidated buildings. If it weren't for someone leading and repeatedly explaining, I'm afraid no one would have dreamed that right here, there was a hidden passage to the north hundreds of kilometers away.

The interior of the building is quite empty, and the tiled floor is covered with a thick layer of dust. Of course, this is only the first effect of the eyes, but when you reach out and touch it yourself, you will be surprised to find that the so-called dust is just a camouflage mixed with special paint. If you're careful enough, you'll notice that just around the edge of the floor is a dense and neat rudimentary indentation. The cracks in the teeth are exactly the same as those of the heavily armored giant tank tracks.

"The entrance to the tunnel, right down here." Valery, whose right hand was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, stepped forward from the crowd, pointed to the solid floor with his full left hand, and said with a gloomy expression: "The entrance switch is in the center of the wall. Take the protruding handbrake and you'll be able to see what you're looking for......" One soldier followed the instructions and lowered the handbrake. Suddenly, with a violent sound of gear rubbing, the heavy floor slowly rose from both sides. A few minutes later, a huge underground entrance with a width of hundreds of meters suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes amid an exclamation. Tianxiang carefully looked at this secret passage that had existed for hundreds of years, and did not rush into it. I saw him and a guard soldier beside him carefully approaching the edge of the tunnel, shoveling down pieces of dirt covering the surface with the sapper shovels they carried with them. From time to time, bring the crumbs to the tip of your nose and smell them carefully. Others, they pick up a wisp of fine soil, carefully pinch it into powder, and slowly shake it into a test tube filled with clear liquid, shaking it gently。。。。。 It took a long time before the cloudy liquid was poured out.

"The wetness and bacterial content were normal. It seems that they are not lying. One of the guards walked into Tianxiang and whispered. The action they just made. The main purpose is to confirm the soil indicators of the authentic mainland. Hundreds of years is enough time to transform this tunnel into a worm-infested nest. No one knows what will happen if you rush in without knowing what is going on. After all, those aliens who eat people. It is impossible to verify whether everything they say is true or not。。。。。。

On the face of it, though, what the captives said should be true. Two semicircular cement grooves with a diameter of about ten meters are the best proof of this. It was the chute of the ancient oil pipeline. If, someone would deliberately install such a thick cement pipe in this hellish place. Deliberately trick yourself into being fooled, then, the price of doing so. I'm afraid it's a little too high.

What's more, scattered in one corner come from dozens of huge iron drums with bantu paint coating on the surface, and the words "Asian Oil" are vaguely recognizable on them, which can also explain its authenticity.

"Very good" Tianxiang nodded: "Inform me to go down and establish a defensive position here. All fortifications are configured according to the first-class standard."" Do explosives need to be installed? ”

"Absolutely." Tianxiang thought for a moment: "Order the sappers, the area where the explosives are placed is as wide and deep as possible." It is best to put all the hidden points within this pipe close to this end. All with detonators. Tell them not to be afraid to take their time. Later. It's hard to say that these things will be used. "Sappers were slow to install explosives. This is mainly due to the fact that the light in the passage is too dim and the distance is too far away. But. This environment has also been somewhat improved after several small vehicles equipped with high-power light-emitting equipment have entered the chamber in sequence.

Tianxiang did not send too many troops, except for an assault team of about 200 people, the other troops of the 11th Armored Division were all assembled in the relevant area near the entrance of the passage. Using all possible terrain, a simple defensive position was quickly established in the shortest possible time. The words of the alien general Valery may have some truth. But no matter what. Without obtaining accurate information, Tianxiang would never rush this armored force into battle. Although he saw the existence of that hidden passage with his own eyes, he could also sense that the other party was not lying. However, there are two sides to everything. Like this cannibalistic general, although he repeatedly assured that the other side of the passage was his territory, and the remaining military forces guarding the territory were almost empty. With a drum, you can get your hands on it. However, who can guarantee that there will be absolutely no accidents in the process? After all, the human hunters living in the northern ice fields are not the same species as the dragons. Words such as "If you are not of my race, your will will be different" have long been clearly stated in the books of the ancients.

If it is necessary to find out everything in the shortest possible time, the best thing to do is to send a small detachment to advance from the air. However, the strong air defense of the aliens made Tianxiang finally dispel this idea and instead switch the reconnaissance force to the ground.

This is by far the safest way to do this, although it is a bit of a long wait. Civilization is like a follow-up

Whole chain. Without any of these links, it would look imperfect. However, the people of war are obviously no longer able to put together this void ring one by one. Dragons, for example, have mastered a lot of forgotten ancient knowledge, but in terms of the technology that humans once had, it was only a small part of it. Although the basic principles have been stored by computers, the difficulties involved in turning them into physical objects are far beyond people's imagination, materials, machinery, energy。。。。。。 Everything you need is not fully available. Therefore, to sum up the current civilization progress of the dragon clan in one sentence, that is, "the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient". The factory in Dragon City was able to make airplanes, but it was not able to create anti-aircraft missiles against aircraft. This is the best example of this. Of course, this is not the final result. Computer One has asserted that as long as there are enough raw materials, the long-buried legacy of civilization will still reappear in front of everyone as before.

The arrival of the alien army seems to be a very good opportunity. According to Valery, his territory. There are the remains of an ancient missile factory. One of the "Sam" assembly lines, relying on stored backup energy, is still able to keep running. The various anti-aircraft weapons that Tianxiang saw came from this .......

Conquer other territories and reclaim all productive resources. This is the idea that Tianxiang's mind has been calculating. The reconnaissance team has set off. The team was accompanied by more than a dozen "war scorpions" filled with energy and ammunition. Led by the first few light hovercraft, the huge searchlights on the roof were turned on to their maximum power, and in a halo as bright as day, they slowly walked towards the dark and long tunnel。。。。。。。

If possible, Tianxiang really wanted to kill all the captives in his hands, leaving no one behind. In his view, cannibalism is an unforgivable sin. What's more, this is still a group of alien hunters who use human flesh as the most delicious food. Their actions are understandable though. However, in Tianxiang's eyes, it is no different from those uncivilized cannibals in the ancient obscurantist period. The Northern Fortress, where work had been suspended, has been restarted. Of the tens of thousands of prisoners of war captured from the battlefield, all but one of the officers who could understand Chinese were taken as slaves. They will be the cheapest workers in the construction of the fortress. There is no need to ensure the safety of their lives, there is no need to distribute necessary daily necessities, and even their dead bodies do not cost the community any resources. Except that it seemed a little rusty in the beginning of the labor. In short, these Russian descendants who came all the way from the north. It's the best free labor in the world. Of course, among them . There are a few people who can make exceptions. Among them was Gregory, who was the first to speak under the threat of Tianxiang's gun. At his recommendation, more than 100 people of different races who also knew Chinese were added to it. Compared to others, their daily work is simple. But he just carried a leather whip and whipped it on the body of his own people.

"These people need to be focused on training, and they can be given the same treatment as ordinary people. However, it is necessary to pay close attention to their movements and must always keep abreast of the psychology of these people. Tie them firmly to our hands. There can be no carelessness. In the shortest possible time, we must transform them into our own among the aliens." This was an order issued by Tianxiang to the prisoner of war camp supervisors. From the thick ancient history books, he has understood a simple truth: if you want to conquer or control a nation, the best way is to develop and support your own close forces within this nation. New contradictions arise in the nation, and in the end, all interests are transferred to one's own side.

The ancients had a fairly appropriate term for such cronies--- spies.

Since they are of Russian descent, these people in Gregory are probably the legendary "Russian traitors"! Admittedly, the ancients of hundreds of years ago were indeed extraordinarily intelligent. Supervisors at the Engineering Command Center reported that the selected Alien cronies performed very well. They are almost as close to the dragons as their own mothers who provide them with sufficient food. They also work the work assigned to them. In particular, in that Gregory, a whip of the highest quality bark had to be replaced in a few days at most, and the strip of bark on the whip had to be replaced. I don't know how this guy uses it...... But. According to those who have seen it, Gregory does not seem to have any feelings for his fellow aliens who are busy between steel and concrete. As long as he finds that he is lazy or unpleasant, he will immediately be whipped with a head and face. Even, it can cripple a living person on the spot. There are two sides to human beings. Especially the "lucky ones" like Gregory, who had never been taken seriously in his own army, but now have thousands of people in charge. The word "grateful" is quite appropriate to describe his current inner feelings. Because, according to the private discussion of the dragon clan supervisors, this cannibal nouveau riche from the north has almost regarded the dragon people as his reborn parents. I can't wait to drag down your pants in front of everyone and lick every stinking foreign object in the gap between your butts with my fat tongue。。。。。。 Strengthen defenses, remodel weapons, and equip them in a timely manner...... That's what the Dragons are doing intensely at the moment. In particular, the military did not make any major military moves until the reconnaissance personnel sent back the report.

The slaves worked hard and the conditions were very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into the cement pool. The fate of forever becoming part of the fortress. For the possible outbreak of slave rebellion, Tianxiang's countermeasures are: first, to strengthen management and resolutely suppress it. The second is to rationally allocate the living space of the slaves, so that they feel more or less. In this dark world, there is still a little warmth. This refers to food.

The war against the aliens resulted in the capture of tens of thousands of pickled human corpses. For these things, Tianxiang did not burn them all, but screened out the remains of the soldiers who belonged to the soldiers and buried them on the spot. The rest. All of them were given to the prisoner of war camp kitchen. Distributed to all slaves as daily meat. "Since they like to eat, give them food. It's not our own corpse anyway. Food production has been greatly reduced, and it is obviously impossible to feed these people with our food rations. Thankfully, Valery, the bastard, left them with enough food. Don't they think human flesh is delicious? Don't they like to eat human flesh as a daily staple? Then let them eat enough. That way, at least they still have the strength to work for us. It was a brilliant idea to feed your own slaves from the flesh of your enemies. "Tianxiang did this, of course, out of a desire for revenge. More importantly, it is still for the sake of the food possession of the ethnic group. Although hydroponics of grain crops has been promoted in various cities, it is impossible to know how effective it will be. Before the global climate was adapted by living things. Food represents the continuation of life.

There are a lot of cured meat plots. But there is always a day when you finish eating. Therefore, every prisoner of war cannot be easily wasted. Exactly. Not wasted land, should be their body. Unnatural deaths are a common phenomenon in prisoner-of-war camps. For the frail and sickly dead, the camp supervisor would wash their bodies in a secret place, put them in a clean blender, and use steel paddles that flew up and down to grind the bodies into a fuzzy meat sauce. After boiling into soup, it was distributed to other living slaves. For them, minced human flesh is no less than a supreme delicacy.

Valery is right, population, inherently a food. It is also a food that is easy to preserve, and as long as it does not die, it will never rot and spoil. More than 80,000 captives, tens of thousands of pickled corpses, and slaves who died every day due to various accidents...... Roughly calculated, this batch of "food" is enough to consume for a long time.

Although the methods were bloody and cruel, Tianxiang was very sober. This set can only be used on enemies and opponents, among one's own people, and it is absolutely not allowed to happen.

Intelligence from the reconnaissance squad has been sent back. To be precise, they sent back a map with detailed annotations. From Siberia to the Don Plain, from the ruins of Moscow that existed in antiquity to the later establishment of the Valery Territory, all the hunters' settlements in the north are shown on this map. Attached to it is a thick stack of detailed information. The above is the approximate population and military strength of each settlement. This is the result of a combination of the confessions of all prisoners of war and reconnaissance in the field.

Judging from the map, the northern land occupied by the aliens is very large. And the number of people they have is about 28----3 million. In particular, Moscow, the foreign capital in the center of the map, has a permanent population of 600,000. However, judging from the pictures, the center of gravity of the overall settlement of the alien people has been completely tilted to the north. It is already very different from the inhabited areas of ancient Russia. Siberia is clearly the center of all the gathering points.

All the military generals and senior managers of the Dragon Clan, together with Tianxiang and others, discussed in the conference room of Dragon City for two days. In the meantime, he only took occasional breaks during meal times.

The center of the conference was focused on two areas. To fight, or not to fight? As a military, the commanders of the various combat divisions are of course in favor of fighting. The surprise attack launched by the aliens caused heavy losses to the dragon army. Leaving aside the reasons for abandoning one's own side, the strong sense of revenge that pervades the hearts of the soldiers is enough to make all the military personnel unanimously approve of waging war. In the words of Yang Xiaotian, one of the representatives: "It was they who forced us to carry out this war. As the initiators of the war, these man-eating alien hunters must pay for it. Even if they want to end the war now and surrender to us, we will have to bulldoze a few cities and gain enough benefits before we can give up. Otherwise, we would not be able to account for the soldiers who died in the war. ”。
