When the long production line of the huge STC factory started again, according to the efficiency of a Pioneer mech in twenty minutes, it took less than ten hours for a column of imposing steel mechs to be transported to the second layer of space, and lined up neatly.

The weapon is in place, and now it is just a matter of waiting for the soldiers who have the ability to use it to activate them here.

Thirty mechs, thirty iron warriors!

In addition to the one that Shen Sen had already booked, he also prepared one for Zhang Ting.

As a super soldier of the "former dynasty", Zhang Ting has received complete and systematic training in both physical fitness and military skills.

Although in the end, due to the sudden disaster, he did not have time to have the opportunity to receive mecha learning, but his literacy and strength were completely enough to use the Pioneer mecha in a short period of time.

So, to be precise, the remaining mechs for five hundred recruits are only twenty-eight.

The quota is limited and the qualifications are precious, in order to better select the elite among the soldiers, Shen Sen decided to use a fair and just competition to select the twenty-eight mecha soldiers who were trained by him.

In order to end this unique selection as soon as possible before the cold winter period came, Shen Sen suspended the affairs of the ninth district and made every effort to advance the preparations for the competition as quickly as possible in the wasteland.

After all the Pioneer mechs were produced, Shen Sen transferred more than a dozen ordinary camp guards from Camp 1123 to take care of the prisoners of the Flying Church, and then gathered all the soldiers in the two camps into the well-equipped Camp 1123.

On the large school grounds, familiar radio broadcasts are erected all around, and some simple training facilities made by combining the training methods of the two worlds are placed in different positions in an orderly manner.

Sandbags, targets, parallel bars, obstacle courses, individual tactical training grounds.

Although it is simple, it is a reasonable and scientific means after all, which can completely and systematically train soldiers and enhance their comprehensive ability.

At this moment, in the middle of the facilities in these corners, the five hundred soldiers who have been replenished are waiting in formation, in an orderly manner, and after this period of tempering, they can vaguely see a unique spiritual outlook.

Outside the training ground, there were about hundreds of ordinary camp residents, who were also standing in rows at this time, looking at the soldiers in the training ground, and discussing with each other in a whisper while watching the excitement.

There was never much recreation in the wasteland, and everyone lived in despair and depression for long periods of time, struggling to survive.

In the past, although under Shen Sen's management, Camp 1123 was less cruel and more civilized, but in the general environment, there were no idlers in the camp, and there was no free time.

Under Shen Sen's intentional arrangement, even though some people don't have to go out and risk their lives to find food, they still have to clean the camp and repair the facilities every day.

Although there was plenty of food during this time, there was no need to go out to find food and repair the camp, but the ensuing daily training and study also took up everyone's time in the camp.

For the first time now, because of the chief's order, let them take a holiday and rest, and act as a leisure activity for spectators.

We pay attention to the combination of work and rest in doing things, and we also pay attention to having fun with the people within the organization, which is for morale and an effective way to unite people's hearts.

Standing next to Shen Sen, Luke, the logistics captain who gathered everyone, recalled what the leader had taught him, and decided to go back and copy this passage in the Chinese characters he had just learned, and carry it and read it every day to comprehend the spirit of the leader, as a guideline for himself to better complete the task.

Thinking of this, he felt that he was one step closer to loyalty!

Shen Sen withdrew his gaze from the camp residents watching the bustle and looked at the solemn army.

The surging psionic energy began to surge out as his gaze scanned.

"Do you know why I'm gathering you today?" The majestic voice reached the ears of every soldier, and it was deafening.

The five hundred soldiers who heard this question had doubts and puzzles, as well as fanaticism and anticipation!

Most of them don't know the reason, but as long as it comes from the will of the commander, even if there is a sea of swords and fires ahead, they will unconditionally complete the task and win the victory.

However, among the troops, there were still one or two people who seemed to have guessed the purpose of this time, such as following Shen Sen to meet Li Xin, the leader of the mecha team.

At this time, the young man's pupils flashed with doubt, expectation, excitement, and disbelief, and the speculation that suddenly popped up in his mind made him feel complicated.

"Is it ......?"

"No, it won't!"

"Are we really qualified to use that kind of thing?"

He couldn't believe it, but what if it was true?

"If it's true, then ......"

Li Xin felt that a blazing flame ignited in his heart in an instant.

The crowd was silent for a long time, and in the increasingly heavy atmosphere, Shen Sen's majestic and solemn voice sounded again.

"There is only one purpose today, and that is for the most elite soldiers!"

"I will select twenty-eight of your five hundred top warriors, and under my teaching, they will form a powerful mecha force!"

After that, a tall, blood-coated pioneer mecha walked out of the shadows in the building behind Shen Sen and stood respectfully behind him, imposing!

……

In the wasteland, in a filthy and dilapidated ruin, dozens of scrawny bodies lay haphazardly in various corners without a sound.

After a long time, a man with a huge scar from the top of his head to his face struggled to get up from a stone slab, staring blankly at the darkening sky, not knowing what to think.

Winter time!

Just as no one knows when it will come, no one will know when it will go.

But one thing is clear, when it is ready to come, the cold will be the first to come as its announcement.

Then, one day, the sun-shrouded world may be shining brightly one moment, and the next the whole wasteland may be enveloped in a dark and cold night, leaving only a sky full of stars that flicker and fluoresce.

This change can't even be violated by Old Man Li, because their ability is not up to the point of changing the law of gravity that dozens of stars, including stars, obey gravitation.

Shen Sen and Old Man Li had known that this was just an astronomical and meteorological change caused by a natural law, but for all the scavengers living in this desperate wasteland, this phenomenon was a mysterious and unknown horror.

This horror caused the fierce beasts of the wasteland to disperse, and the world was completely lifeless, and the land was so long that there was hardly any food to be found.

If you don't do a good job of stockpiling before, it means that whether it is a scattered wanderer in the wasteland or a scavenger stationed in a settlement to keep warm, you will eventually usher in the fate of death.

The difference is who dies first!

But in the wasteland, it's hard to stock up on enough food before winter hits.

But in order to survive, most of the camps with a certain degree of organization will risk the lives of wild beasts before the onset of winter, constantly organize teams to go to green areas with water sources to find food, and at the same time withhold some people's food as reserves in the usual food supply.

At the same time, after the onset of winter, the supply of half or even three-quarters of the population of the camp was completely interrupted, so that not only the grain was saved, but also a part of the food reserves were increased.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

However, as mentioned earlier, no one knows how long the Winter Period will last without technology, let alone when it will leave, and when the scavenger leader of the colony finds that it will not be able to survive until the end of the Winter Period.

He was left with two options, either risk killing the armed troops in the camp at his disposal, or find a way to find an equally weak settlement to kill them.

Both methods are risky, but if they succeed, they get enough food to last a while longer and live beyond the end of the long winter season.

But there are exceptions to everything, and the most desperate situation is not the first two, but the lack of food before the onset of winter......
