Chapter 100: An Unexpected Ending (3000 words)

The battle ended very quickly, or rather, after one ear and one scar died one after another, the other scavengers had lost the courage to resist.

After a brief engagement, the three squads quickly took control of the many trembling scavengers lying in the surrounding snow.

None of the soldiers of the first squad that broke into the central area of the foot of the mountain were killed, after all, the gap between the two sides was too great, and one side was heavily armed and rifle in hand. The other side was thinly clothed, yellow-skinned, and the best weapon in his hand was only a wooden stick and spear.

After Shen Sen and Zhang Ting came here, Li Xin had already counted the "results" of this time.

said that it was the result of the battle, but in fact, there were not many scavengers who died in their hands this time.

There were forty-eight corpses on the hillside, forty-four of which were caused by the scavengers' cannibalism, and these corpses were stripped to the ground, like white pigs, and fell in the snow in blood and cruelty. Only four corpses were killed by them.

There were fifty-seven captives, and they appeared to be clearly divided into two groups, the victims and the perpetrators.

Under Shen Sen's orders, all actions were carried out with the utmost restraint.

Death is not the ultimate goal, but the effective collection of the population is his greatest goal.

Because the blood has turned white and red in the snow, messy footprints and dense bullet holes make this place feel a little more solemn.

The number of soldiers from the camp who kept catching up from all directions, the number of hundreds, made the area a little more crowded in an instant, and they maintained the discipline of the queue, tying up a captured scavenger.

Soon after, two crimson Pioneer mechs roared from the far distance at the foot of the mountain and leapt heavily into the clearing. Shen Sen, who was wearing a mecha, stayed in the red tide, and everything in front of him appeared in his line of sight as clearly as day.

After Li Xin and several squad leaders saw him, they greeted him, cleanly clenched their right hands into fists in front of their chests, and gave him a military salute.

"How's it going?" Shen Sen asked straight to the point.

"There are no wounded, all the enemy has been effectively controlled." As a representative, Li Xin reported the situation just now to Shen Sen in detail.

Apart from the dozens of captives who survived, there were no significant gains.

Shen Sen looked up and looked into the distance, forty or fifty meters away from him, were the survivors who were tied up, and the corpses of the dead.

To be honest, he'd seen a lot of carnages like the one taking place right in front of his eyes.

The dead and the survivors, it is impossible to say who is the righteous side and who is the evil side, if you really want to distinguish clearly, you can only say that they are just a group of poor people who are struggling.

In this world, all the laws that have prevailed in previous lives cannot judge anyone.

The human society of the wasteland, like the most primitive tribes, strictly follows the natural laws of survival of the strong.

Shen Sen couldn't convict anyone until he completely saved the world.

However, Shen Sen turned his gaze around, and after scanning around, he was a little puzzled.

Why are you so stinky? Is that too much different from what the female scavenger who came to the camp said?

Seeing Shen Sen looking at his side, Li Xin hurriedly saluted, and then asked respectfully, "Sir, is there something wrong?" Let's do it right away! ”

"Is there a leader among the captives?"

"I'll ask right away!"

"Forget it, let's go together, you ask now, can they admit it themselves?"

"The subordinates are stupid." Li Xin lowered his head in shame.

Although Shen Sen has been training this group of soldiers in various ways, most of them are in terms of strength and military skills and common sense.

For example, these interrogations of the enemy should be handled by a specially established agency, but unfortunately there is a shortage of manpower, and he cannot find a suitable person to take charge of this kind of work.

The mecha walked on the snow, and the ability of night vision allowed Shen Sen to see clearly what was happening on the snow.

Thinkers

White mixed with red, the large mass of bright red blood stains has become crystals. Shen Sen seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood lingering on the tip of his nose just by looking at these scenes, even in the ice and snow.

At a distance of more than a hundred meters, Shen Sen had already walked in front of dozens of prisoners in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the survivors who shrunk into a trembling mass in front of him, Shen Sen really didn't know if these people were cold or afraid of him.

"Which of you is still the leader, stand up, and I will not kill him?" A gentle electronic synthesizer sounded, and Shen Sen tried his best to soften his tone.

No one answered, but what Shen Sen didn't see was that a woman squatting in the snow with many captives looked at him, but a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Then let me ask you another question, are you from the valley camp?" After the question was asked, there was a commotion in the crowd, but still no one answered.

Shen Sen in the mecha smiled, looking at the change in everyone's face because of his question in the dim night light, and had the answer in his heart.

It seems so!

"Which of you tells me the answer, I can give this thing to him!"

Shen Sen waved his hand, opened the backpack of the soldier who ran to him, and took out a pack of compressed biscuits.

"You don't recognize this thing, and I can tell you unequivocally that this is food, and this amount in my hand should be enough for you to eat alone for three or four days."

Sure enough, in the wasteland, food is the biggest temptation. As soon as the words ended, there were a few captives in the crowd who seemed to be eager to try.

"I know!"

"Huh?"

Shen Sen looked at it, it was not the few people he expected, but a rare woman who was a waste picker. Although his face was bruised, his healthy complexion and soft temperament made Shen Sen in a trance for a while.

It's not because of such a woman's appearance, but it's that such a slightly healthy woman is too rare in the wasteland.

"You know?"

"Yes, I know, but I don't want food from your hands, I just beg if you can give me a piece of clothing for the man next to me, who is about to freeze to death?"

Shen Sen was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that someone would give up the incomparably precious food in the wasteland and instead go to ask for a piece of clothing for another person who had no blood.

In a perilous wasteland, humanity's only emotional bond seems to be crumbling blood ties.

In addition, even if the two sides are still comrades who help each other one moment, they may become mortal enemies in the next second.

Three or four days' food was enough to turn them against each other.

It seems that even he has unconsciously become accustomed to this kind of cold interpersonal relationship, and can let hundreds of people die for a mission without caring Shen Sen took a deep breath, frowned, and replied.

"Yes, I promise you."

Then he commanded:

"Come on, bring a piece of clothing to the person next to her."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Qiu Rong took the thick clothes in the soldier's hand, looked surprised, and then thanked him again and again, and finally draped the clothes on the male scavenger's body.

She didn't know if the man who was badly injured by doing so would wake up, but it was the only warmth she could give him.

Besides, according to the current situation, the valley camp will inevitably be exposed in the end, so she will be the first to be the whistleblower, and maybe she can save a life.

Moreover, this team of people of unknown origin, from the only display, can also be seen that the materials are abundant, and the armed forces should not be underestimated.

If it encounters the special soldiers in the camp, no matter who wins on both sides, the valley camp will definitely suffer heavy losses, and there is a chance that it will not survive this winter, in that case, it is very likely that the last embers will be extinguished.

She must stop this from happening!

Thinking of this, a trace of resoluteness flashed in Qiu Rong's eyes.

"We're from the Valley Camp."

The mecha advanced a few steps slightly, and Shen Sen looked through the steel, carefully staring at the eyes of the woman in front of him.

There was an aura of civilization in that eye, and there were traces of civilization in every move of this female scavenger.

But more importantly, he got the answers he wanted.

Sure enough, these people are the target of this search, although they are only a small part of the people in the valley camp, and it seems that they are still killing each other because of food, but these don't matter, as long as they find the valley camp and control it in time, he can have a chance to get hundreds of people alive.

Thinking of this, Shen Sen made up his mind, and then asked.

"You're all from the Valley Camp? I wonder if you welcome me as a strange guest? ”

Qiu Rong opened her mouth, her expression a little stunned and surprised, she looked at the iron giant in front of her fixedly, and found that she seemed to feel a trace of kindness from the electronic synthesized sound.

"Are you really going to visit?"

After asking this sentence, Qiu Rong felt that her heart was trembling, she actually dared to risk losing her life at any time in the next moment, and asked this giant who gave herself the weight and majesty of a mountain.

"Huh?" Shen Sen felt that something was wrong.

But Qiu Rong, who heard the electronic synthesis sound "um", felt that her heart fell in an instant, and she got a kind answer from the other party.

Qiu Rong was ready to take a risk, even if there was still a conflict she didn't want to see in the end, but she tried as best she could.

One more attempt is one more chance, this is what her mentor often said to her when she was doing experiments, and in her subsequent life, she has been practicing, presumably when she sees the strength of the camp, the other party does not dare to act rashly.

"That's good, I can take you to the hill camp, and we can negotiate and solve any problems."

Shen Sen was a little confused, he hadn't reacted from Qiu Rong's affirmative answer yet.

The way this script unfolds is a little wrong!

Listening to what this female scavenger from the valley camp meant, there is no need to fight now, and the group of them can really visit each other's camp in a peaceful way.

He just said black words casually, isn't it in the wasteland, doesn't visiting mean a door-to-door fight?
