Chapter 346: Preparing to Move South
The young man's expression was indifferent, as if he had just killed not two people, but two flies.
The three heavily armed soldiers accompanying Shao Yang looked at the captain's corpse and couldn't help but cringe in horror, only to find that those blood streaks were mysteriously floating in the air, and only when the sun was shining directly could they see part of it.
Bai Ze ignored the exclamations and pleadings of the survivors on the kneeling and looked at the three heavily armed soldiers.
"Chief, spare your life!"
...
The three of them immediately shouted and pleaded, but Bai Ze shook his head and waved his hand.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Three streaks of blood flew through the air, piercing the bodies of three heavily armed soldiers, killing them in the blink of an eye.
The three of them collapsed to the ground, Bai Ze looked at Li Kui, and the young officer trembled with fright.
"What about Shangguan Bingxue?" Bai Ze asked with a frown.
As far as he knew, Shangguan Bingxue should be nearby. Bai Ze was sure that if she had been there, the four scumbags would have died a long time ago and would not have caused such a big trouble.
"Miss Shangguan......" Li Kui hesitated, not knowing what to call Shangguan Bingxue.
Shangguan Bingxue, like Bai Ze, has no rank in the army. However, everyone knew that her status was ridiculously high, second only to the leader himself, so everyone respected her.
"She was here before, ordering us to execute all the criminals, saying it was a direct order from the chief." Li Kui finally explained: "After that, she left with Captain Lu and a team of people to prepare for the march. ”
When Bai Ze heard this, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.
In fact, he and Lu Xiaoxiao wasted more than an hour meeting in the Lu Mansion, and it was normal for Shangguan Bingxue to be absent. After all, this place doesn't need her presence at all.
"I see." Bai Ze nodded, and then looked at the survivors kneeling on the ground, "Are they also the ones who made trouble last night?" ”
"Yes......" Li Kui nodded and said cautiously, "Captain Fu Xuefeng and Captain Nangong Yi arrested them, but I don't know what the leader will do." ”
Bai Ze noticed that among them were young men, women, and even a man in his fifties with wrinkles on his face. Everyone knelt on the ground, their hands tied behind their backs, looking at him with pleading eyes, sobbing silently.
He didn't have to think much to understand why Nangong Yi and Fu Xuefeng didn't immediately execute these people, but captured them alive.
Bai Ze looked at Li Kui and ordered, "From today onwards, the two of you will join Fu Xuefeng's team." Tell him that this is my command. Also, be sure to inform the rest. ”
The eyes of the two lit up, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the team they belonged to before had just disappeared completely.
"Yes!"
The two responded immediately.
Bai Ze nodded, and walked towards the exit without saying a word.
"Chief! What about these people? ”
He ignored Li Kui's question and asked, "Didn't you receive an order before?" ”
Li Kui and his colleagues looked at each other, remembering Shangguan Bingxue's previous order. The two nodded to each other, raised their guns and pointed forward.
In the distance, Bai Ze heard several gunshots, and then everything fell silent again. His face did not change in the slightest, his gaze was as cold as frost and sharp as a sword, and he left the barracks and walked towards the square in the center of the base.
When I finally got there, I saw dozens of large vehicles parked.
A large group of soldiers guarded the area, and curious survivors muttered to themselves in the distance.
Several evolutionaries split up, carrying a large number of mutant beast carcasses of various sizes, carefully placed on a cargo truck or onto a trailer converted from animal bones.
Each vehicle was modified under the supervision of Shangguan Bingxue, and even the smallest truck could carry a dozen beasts of considerable size. Although the speed will be greatly reduced, this is not a big problem, and the road conditions do not allow the vehicle to go fast anyway.
The only problem was that the engine could not work for a long time, and due to the heavy weight, the piston could burst at any time. After all, even if these are truck engines, there is a limit to the amount of weight they can carry.
Bai Ze and others estimated that even if the quality was good, the engine might completely burn out within a year or two, and there was no possibility of repair. At that point, they have no choice but to look for alternatives or other ways to replace the vehicle; But this is not an easy task at all.
After looking for a while, Bai Ze saw Kang Lan and Shangguan Bingxue standing in the corner. Both remained silent, staring intently at their work.
Bai Ze walked towards the two of them, and was quickly noticed and greeted. Fortunately, last week's military training worked well, and no one stopped working, otherwise it would be a headache.
"It's over?" Shangguan Bingxue immediately smiled when he saw him and asked softly.
"It's over." Bai Ze smiled slightly, nodded, and then began to explain everything Lu Xiaoxiao told him.
Conlan's right hand had not fully recovered, and he held his wand in his left hand, looking at the two in front of him in surprise.
Since when did these two become best friends? Suddenly, a playful smile appeared on the mage and healer's face, and she thought that when they returned to the starting point village, things would probably get even more interesting.
After Bai Ze told Shangguan Bingxue about the loss, her brows furrowed, and the loss of ammunition and men far exceeded her initial expectations.
"Fortunately, we got a lot of treasures last night, and even got a lot of food and forging materials, otherwise, I'm afraid that this loss will be enough to collapse the entire camp." Shangguan Bingxue calmly analyzed.
"Yes." Bai Ze nodded, and then said calmly: "We have to leave for the south early tomorrow, the more we delay on the way back, the more we will suffer, and the less and less arms will be." ”
"Hmm." Shangguan Bingxue nodded and fell silent.
The two quickly separated and began to give orders. Kang Lan also joined, and a few hours later, Fu Xuefeng, Nangong Yi, and Nangong Ling arrived, and they also began to help move things in order to complete the work as soon as possible.
By nightfall, the survivors who were heading south had left their warm homes and moved into houses around the central plaza; This way, everyone can get on the bus as soon as possible in the morning. As for those who still stubbornly refused to leave home, Bai Ze ordered to ignore those people and continue to work.
Since what happened the night before yesterday and there are some stubborn and stupid people who want to stay, let them stay. Bai Ze has too many things on hand, but too little time to take care of the safety and opinions of every survivor; That's the most he can and willing to do. Whether they accept this kindness or not is no longer a question for Bai Ze.
After dinner, Bai Ze did not go into the forest to hunt, and ordered everyone not to enter the forest, because the second-order existence that might be in the depths would probably be on high alert.
Eventually, although they all wanted to strengthen themselves, they obeyed the order and slept peacefully.
Even Shangguan Bingxue, who was bent on rushing to the fiftieth level and advancing to the second order as soon as possible, did not refute Bai Ze's order, because she knew in her heart that what Bai Ze said was right. So, she also went to her room and soon fell asleep.
Bai Ze looked around the white room, and realized that for the first time since the beginning of the apocalypse, he had really fallen asleep alone. For a moment, a feeling of loneliness and loss rose in his heart. It's just that Bai Ze sneered silently, forcibly shook off that feeling, and then lay down and closed his eyes.
After all, he had been alone for a long time before the end broke out. He had long been accustomed to loneliness, and even believed that he might not have anyone to accompany him for most of his life; After all, in the past, he was not much different from his current self in trusting people.
After a few minutes, Bai Ze's heart completely calmed down, and his breathing became calm. His consciousness drifted away from his body, and he fell into a deep sleep, but shallow enough to wake up from his sleep at any moment.
……
At 5:30 a.m., the sun had not yet risen.
The sky was still pitch black, with only a few bits of starlight to be seen.
However, at this time the entire base woke up. Whether they were ordinary survivors or powerful people in the military, everyone dressed in the warmest clothes possible and took their families to the central square.
Some people carry bags, suitcases, plastic bags, and even large blankets to wrap their most important things. However, there are others who are just wearing some slightly shabby clothes and have nothing else.
These people all walked in an orderly manner, looking at the hundreds of heavily armed fighters, and no one dared to move without permission.
