Hill camp.

Council Hall.

To be precise, it's more like a cave dug out at the foot of a mountain.

The dry firewood was crackling and creaking inside.

Under the flickering firelight, the faces of five or six people appeared and disappeared, revealing different complex expressions.

"They're all gone?"

"Well, more than a hundred people left, in addition to the scavengers we rescued before, there is also Qiu Rong."

The heroic short-haired woman pulled her hair and succinctly replied to the man with a Chinese character face sitting across from him.

"Everyone has a life, and we can't stop her if she wants to leave, maybe in the end she will live longer than us!"

It was a young man who interjected, dressed in a gray and white striped combat uniform, with a helmet face covering half-draped over his head, and a frosted surface that seemed to have flames dancing.

"She left because of a man!"

The short-haired woman said nonchalantly, no expression visible on her face.

"Huh? This! The young man cried out in surprise, as if he had heard something incredible, but then he frowned and said nothing.

followed an alien man, could it be that the man coerced her, and that shouldn't be?

"She volunteered."

The short-haired woman's addition interrupted the young man's conjecture, making him look even more worried, as if it had involved his blind spot.

But no one saw it, and even the man who had always been moody and invisible, frowned at this time, revealing some doubts.

"Is this love?"

The man with the face of the national character smacked his tongue, when he was not buried in the "soil", he used to flip through some literary books on the display terminal and when he had nothing to do, and these two words appeared in the content.

But now for the first time, he began to be a little surprised by this feeling, can love make a person make such an irrational decision?

In his opinion, such behavior is stupid, and such feelings are only meaningless, and if a commander has such feelings, he may make irreparable losses.

However, he did not say any of this, because maintaining the necessary silence and singleness of emotions are also basic guidelines that a special soldier commander should follow.

Although the world has changed dramatically, the new republic to which they are loyal has vanished. The only powerful organization may be those who have just been cultivated and have been buried deep underground before they have even been on the battlefield.

But tens of thousands of trainings have made this habit instinctive.

A warrior is to live for war and to die for war.

It is always necessary to maintain extreme sanity and determination to complete the task, and other than that, all superfluous involvement is the shortcomings of the warrior, and the warrior with shortcomings is to be disqualified.

Although now, the remnants of civilization, may have lost the qualification to go to the battlefield forever from the beginning, and they have gradually begun to lose any meaning and purpose of survival, until the last moment of their lives, he will strictly abide by it.

Under the dim firelight, suddenly, there seemed to be a rare loss and confusion in the eyes of the national character face.

However, the wasteland never leaves time sentimental, and at the same time, outside the cavern, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and the obscured wooden door was opened, and the silence was suddenly interrupted.

"Report the second lieutenant, there's an emergency!"

"Report now!"

"To the southwest, a large number of scavengers were found approaching our camp, and the target number was about five hundred."

Between the short questions and answers, everyone was left stunned.

The man with the national character face stood up, his expression was solemn, and he asked as if he was sure: "Corporal, are you sure that the number is correct, there are several hundred?" ”

"The number is true, the sentry has been verified many times!"

The identity is unknown, there are many of them, and the direction is directed towards the camp, I am afraid that the people who come are not good.

A lot of analysis flashed in the heart of the man with the national character face, and finally he gave the order a little helplessly.

"Pass the order, the whole regiment of soldiers is armed and assembled, ready for battle!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The corporal who reported the situation left in a hurry again, and several people in the cave had solemn expressions.

If they had a choice, they really didn't want to fight in the cold of winter, because they had nothing to gain but to increase their consumption.

The dead bodies bring a reserve to the other camps, but they bring them a burden.

Besides, is such a battle a real war, every time they fight, they feel like they are insulting themselves.

……

Far to the southwest.

The dense brown soldiers on the snow lined up in long lines like fallen leaves on the earth, and advanced towards the valley floor where several peaks gathered in front of them.

True to its name, this extraordinary camp is nestled in a valley surrounded by three mountains, and the complex topography makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"If you attack it, it is estimated that it will pay a big price!"

Shen Sen stopped, looked at the low peaks that could be seen in the distance, and thought so.

"All stop, find cover, and take up position." An abrupt command was conveyed by him.

"Sir, is there something wrong?" Qiu Rong, who was following alongside, saw the stopped troops, and asked with a puzzled look.

"There's no problem, but when we get here, I guess your people should be able to see us!" Shen Sen looked at Qiu Rong, whose expression gradually turned white, and said meaningfully.

"It's really not rude to break into the door without saying hello, and it's also illegal and criminal behavior in my hometown, I think it's better to say hello, what do you say, ma'am?"

Qiu Rong's pupils trembled slightly, and she was more surprised than the panic of being picked on by someone to break the little careful thoughts she had hidden, and she was more surprised that she finally knew where the awkwardness she felt after seeing this group of people came from.

Because the man in front of her was very different from the leader of the scavengers in the wasteland, whom she considered savage and ignorant, they were fundamentally two kinds of people.

"Everything is at your command, sir!" Qiu Rong honestly lowered his head and put on a posture of being at his disposal.

"It's funny, it's funny, it's no wonder that after staying with smart people for a long time, stupid people have become smarter."

Shen Sen's emotion did not contain annoyance, and the hearty electronic synthesis laughter resounded between the mountains and forests, and the powerful echo even caused the snow on the dead branches to fall one after another.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

After staying in the wasteland for a long time, Shen Sen felt that everyone was stupid, and relying on force to fight straight all year round made many people become straight-headed.

Wisdom is the ability to rely on knowledge and time to ferment, but unfortunately it is these two things that the wasteland lacks most. Only an open-minded traverser like him and an old fox like Old Man Li, who has lived for a hundred years, can perform some "intrigues" a little.

However, now he found another, and it was a woman, and although he had seen through the fraud that had been a little immature in military operations, it was the fraud that surprised him. With this, his guess about the origin of the hill camp was even more certain.

"In that case, then you will be the representative to report to the leader of your camp!"

After Shen Sen finished speaking, without Gu Qiu Rong's surprised expression, he turned to Zhang Ting on the side and ordered.

"Empty the food reserve for fifty people, pack them together, find a few captives on their backs, and give this lady home by the way, and you know what to do if necessary."

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Ting nodded, operated the vanguard mecha, walked behind the other bunkers, and conveyed the instructions.

Soon after, with Qiu Rong's confused expression, Zhang Ting set off with her and several frightened captives.

Less than three thousand meters away from the hill camp, and when there was only a thousand meters left, he heard a warning echoing through the valley.

"Stop coming, take another step forward, and bear the consequences!" Immediately, Zhang Ting heard a familiar voice passing by him, hitting the snow and blasting a small crater.

It's a bullet!

Zhang Ting operated the vanguard mecha, looked around left and right, and all the scenes in front of him were instantly unobstructed, and in the display information in his eye sockets, he could even see the distance of the marked enemy.

Six sentry posts, only eight hundred meters away from him!

In just three seconds, he would be able to complete all the kills, and the bullets they fired, according to the model just now, would only cause minor abrasions to the mech, even if he was standing.

However, it is a pity that he only came to give it away this time, and the leader's order is his first priority.

Zhang Ting ignored the warning, turned around, and said to Qiu Rong:

"I'll send you here, you have seen our sincerity, you know what to do after that, if you don't want blood to flow here, then let your leader come out to negotiate as soon as possible."

"I hope you don't live up to the good intentions of the chief, otherwise I will definitely be the vanguard myself to destroy this place and let everyone know the fate of those who go against the will of the chief."

The crimson mecha's eyes shimmered with a faint green fluorescence, like a lone wolf in the snow.

At this point, Zhang Ting took a deep look at the sentry in the distance, his shoulders were slightly raised, and four rays of fire shot out from his shoulders, straight into the sky, like a meteor falling in the night, hitting the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

For a moment, the landslide cracked, deafening, as if the end of the world was coming, and the boundless rolling snow rushed down in an instant, like a white torrent, destroying everything in the way ahead.

At this moment, whether it was Shen Sen or the people in the hill camp, they all saw this scene as if the sky was falling, let alone witnessing all this happening Qiu Rong with their own eyes.

She was already frightened, looking at Zhang Ting, who had already swept away, and was silent for a long time.

Not far ahead, the six sentries who were about to shoot just now also felt a little like they were left behind, and wiped the cold sweat they put on the trigger.

Who is the person who came, what is he wearing, he has such great power, why is he gone now?

Just as they were wondering, they heard shouts in the distance.

"Please inform Captain Zhou, I'm Qiu Rong, I have something important to report!"

There was a bit of weakness, a bit of panic, and a bit of firmness in the voice.

After a while, the protective fence blocking the entrance to the hill camp was removed, and a small group of people wearing gray and black stripes and helmets walked out, cautiously walked in front of Qiu Rong, who was waiting not far away, and after grinding for a while, they returned to the hill again as fast as they could.
