Jason Morgan, who had a swollen bag on his forehead, felt that he was unlucky.

He was originally a clerk in a small factory in Fuxing City, doing some statistical work. He doesn't have any special skills, and he doesn't have any power, so he does his job and receives the salary he deserves. Of course, life is much better than that of the hungry homeless people in the outer city, but it is definitely not rich, and they can barely mix a room in the inner city, and with the work of their wife, they can barely support their three children.

After the war, his wife did not know what evil she believed, but she felt that the new government set up by the new governor was very reliable, so she not only went in by herself, but also persuaded him at home for two days.

"We are literate, we can do arithmetic, we have work experience, and we can get ahead."

"It is said that Ms. Osena was promoted to such a high position just because she could read and write in the first place!"

"The sooner you enter, the better, and the sooner you take refuge, we may be able to become big shots in the future."

He agreed in a daze, and after the initial political examination and training, he was dispatched to the Immigration Bureau of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

At that time, he thought that although the conditions were difficult and he still had to go out of the city to work, looking at his initial rank, it would be E9, and the basic rank quota with his wife would be enough to support the family. Coupled with the salary outside the quota, the quality of their life will not be reduced at all compared to the past.

In addition, before coming out on this 'business trip', their director, who had just taken office, encouraged them and said that this was a very valuable experience, and doing things well can be regarded as meritorious performance. If he performs the most, he will apply for the Revival Medal, and he will be given priority in promotion and promotion when he comes back.

The painted bread was fed to Morgan. Add to that the fact that there are additional perks associated with the business trip itself, all of which are benefits. After returning home, I discussed a few words with my wife, and with the strong support of my wife, he signed up that night.

The next day they were organized into a working group, and a car with a group of them was sent to Major Perbov's army.

When dealing with the first gathering place of about 1,000 people, they were a little scrambling, and they encountered some difficulties and twists and turns, but in the end they got things done. They were even the first team to complete the relocation and were rewarded by the Director General when they reported to the Leadership.

Zhengmei Zizizi, but he didn't have a rest, and he was sent to Sanchi Town, which had just been recovered, overnight.

The town of Sanchi has a population of more than 3,000 people, and according to the original leader of the town, the name 'Sanchi' comes from the fact that there are three large pools around the town, in which some aquatic products can be fished, and they mainly depend on those aquatic products to survive. Some of them eat by themselves, some of them are dried and dried for dried fish and canned food for export, plus the location of their town is not bad, and caravans often pass by. built a tavern, and by providing accommodation, leisure and entertainment services for the caravan, the life of the whole town was quite so-so.

According to this statement, the first direction of the working group was that this town could be preserved. It can be used as a trade transit station, three lakes with good output, or as an aquaculture site for food production.

They began to follow this direction and began to work.

But after a field trip, they quickly sensed that something was wrong.

It's true that there are 'three pools', but that's really three 'pools'. I can't say it's a pond, but it's a very small lake. There is a certain amount of aquatic output, but it is obviously not well managed and the production is quite limited.

As for the tavern? There is indeed one, but the rooms add up to about a dozen, and there are about twenty tables in the lobby on the first floor, which is not considered a trading post.

If this is a small village with only a few hundred people, then three pools, plus this tavern, may barely allow them to live a decent life.

But three thousand?

Died of starvation by this, right?

The people of Miike Town lied.

Morgan didn't understand why he was lying at first, but on the third night after the army had left, leaving only their working group, he knew something was wrong when he went out to pee at night and saw crates of weapons and equipment being moved out of the warehouse and the townspeople starting to arm.

These people actually made an unconditional surrender and loyal surrender when the front foot of the army came, and the back foot army began to arm the army when it left.

Later, he saw a large number of raiders entering the town, and they got along well with the townspeople.

Combined with the serious discrepancy between the industry and the population size that was investigated before, he finally understood that this was a den of thieves!

Not to mention how those three small pools and a broken tavern can afford to raise 3,000 people, people don't rely on this to eat at all.

Huanshang Road Interchange Station...... They did rely on trade along the road to eat, but the way may be a little different than they thought before.

Open a black shop, rob the road...... It is not a problem to say that their livelihood is related to business travel.

Add to that the plundering and extortion of other settlements, plus a black center that handles stolen goods and supplies for the looters, and serves as a foothold to harbor bandits......

Then it would not be a big problem to feed 3,000 people like this.

Jason Morgan, who was in a cold sweat, didn't dare to pee, for fear of being discovered, sneaked back into the house in fear, and told six other colleagues about his discovery.

Everyone was a little flustered.

Even when the fighting was at its most intense before Fuxing City, they only listened to the sound of gunfire and felt the vibration of the orbital bombardment on the wind farm on the outskirts of the city, and they trembled in fear.

But if you really want to talk about real physical threats, it is not as clear as it is now.

If you continue to stay, you will surely die.

The raiders were clearly not going to let them go, no matter what they wanted to do.

The seven of them discussed it, intending to get out of the way before the fellows came to trouble them and restrict their movements.

It's a pity that it's late.

They weren't stealth experts, they weren't even soldiers, they weren't trained in this area, so how could they sneak out of a town without being discovered?

In fact, not long after they slipped away, they were caught.

Morgan was hit with two rifle butts on the head and was smashed to the point of dizziness. By the time he was almost conscious, he was tied up in a room with his colleagues.

He now regrets it in his heart, very regretful.

At that time, I chose to go on a business trip, but I was blinded by the cake drawn by my boss and blinded by the extra business trip allowance.

Seeing the good, I forgot how dangerous this wasteland is.

What now?

"No way, wait for death."

The person who said this is quite optimistic.

A true pessimist will say, "Is there any way to kill yourself quickly, preferably painlessly?" The raiders in the wasteland can really eat people, and even some of them are perverted, and in order to ensure the freshness of the meat, they will cut and roast the meat alive to eat......"

Morgan, who had just recovered from his dizzy state, was so frightened that he almost fainted when he heard their conversation.

No, I was at home a few days ago enjoying a better life with my wife, and today you told me that I might be eaten alive?

His mentality was broken.

Morgan didn't want to die, he shook his head and thought of a way, but he couldn't think of anything. The seven of them were tied up so tightly that it was difficult to even twist their bodies like caterpillars, let alone find a way to untie them.

It was useless to untie them, they were unarmed, but there were two heavily armed raiders guarding the door.

What can I do?

I can't think of a way to break my head.

And an even more desperate situation came.

He heard footsteps outside.

It seems that a few people came from the outside, and then began to talk to the guard at the door, and then began to have some arguments.

Through the door wall, I can't hear it clearly, but it seems to be ......

“…… Command...... Let me...... That's all there is to it, right? …… Killed...... Just bury it outside...... Put...... No......"

Hearing these words, Morgan's face turned pale.

It's over!

It's time to execute them!

With that in mind, the door opened.

He looked at the three marauders with guns and walked in.

Morgan was terrified.

He felt like it was all over.

At this time, he could only close his eyes, prepare for the arrival of death, and pray that he would die happily.

But just then, he heard the man who came in speak.

"Commander Terrell's order is for me to kill you all."

As I expected...... Morgan thought to himself.

Then, he heard a turning point that made him feel hopeful:

"But I can let you go, but you have to promise me one condition."

Before Morgan could speak, his companion spoke first:

"On what terms?"

The visitor sighed: "The leader of Terrell has to fight against Fuxing City, I don't agree, take this opportunity to wash the white, no longer loot, and be safe and secure as the people of Fuxing City?" ”

He paused, and was a little frustrated: "It's just that I can't persuade him." So, I've taken on the task of executing you, but I'm going to let you go. When Terrell is defeated, you will remember my kindness. If I am taken captive, deliver me out; If I escape, I hope you will report the fact that I saved you and fight for our place in the new alliance. ”

Morgan hurriedly patted his chest and said, "This is as it should be!" We will definitely do it! ”

Several others also gossiped about various assurances.

The visitor relaxed a lot, and he threw out some clothes: "Then hurry up and change your clothes, I can find a route to arrange for my brother to send you out." I'm going to find a few corpses to burn, pretending to be you, and I'm running out for time. ”

Morgan and others hurried to act.

While hurriedly changing his clothes, a thought came to his mind:

The previous work of publicizing the new alliance policy in Sanchi Town turned out to be really effective.

After the costume change was completed, Morgan and the others were arranged to be taken out.

Before parting, Morgan hesitated, but still said, "You might as well come with us." Otherwise, it will be very dangerous if your act of letting us go is exposed. ”

"If you go together, you can't leave, you have to have my identity to cover for you. As for the issue of exposure...... I'll be ready. ”

"Okay." Since they said so, Morgan didn't force it, but just asked another question:

"What's your name?"

"My name is Hotdy Pol."

……

"Hotdy Pol...... Are these seven really the seven people of the new alliance? ”

In the face of Terrell's questioning, no matter how much panic there was in his heart, Pol at least managed to calm his face: "Of course it is. ”

Terrell's green one-eyed stared at him for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the other men around Bol: "Then tell me, your Captain Pol, why do you have to burn the body?" ”

Pol opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Terrell's raised hand.

"Shut your mouth, I didn't ask you, say one more word, and I'll kill you."

Pol could only keep his mouth shut.

And the brothers beside him can't be like him, and they can still keep their faces on the Terrell chieftain, who has always been known for his brutality and cunning.

Terrell looked at these people with a nervous and overwhelmed look, and showed a hideous smile:

"Say, whoever speaks, I will spare your life."

Finally someone couldn't help it.

A tall, thin fellow quickly distanced himself from the rest of his brothers, and said, "It's Pol!" Pol persuaded us to do it! He let people go, saying that he had to leave a way back, and he couldn't do things in an end! ”

As soon as these words came out, Pol and the people next to him all turned pale. Some people are in two wars, and they can hardly stand; Some opened their mouths to curse traitors; Someone made a quibble......

Pol's eyes were fixed on Terrell.

At this moment, life and death are all in the thoughts of this great leader.

When the voice gradually subsided, Terrell slowly took out his gun and spoke, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Pol took a deep breath and replied, "I'm doing this for the good of my brothers, if I kill everyone, I will have a mortal enemy, and I will ...... in the future."

"You're pretty good at leaving yourself a way out."

Pol changed his way and persuaded bitterly: "Great chief, I have been following you for ten years, and the brothers of the year are dead, the missing are missing, and there are not many survivors. We have built such a big foundation, thousands of people have followed us to eat, and we have united many surrounding tribes...... We've come to the end. ”

"What can be further down? We have no way to confront the previous coalition government, and this new coalition government is not going to be able to. Didn't you see the army that came to us earlier? They have armored vehicles! They have tanks! They have heavy artillery! Do we really want to fight against such an enemy? ”

"We do have a lot more people than them, and we can still have mental calculations. But even if we win, there will be a second or third army, and we can't afford to die so many people. ”

"Is there anything wrong with taking this opportunity to enter the system of the new alliance? Now that all your brothers are located, you can continue to lead us into the army by the Alliance's recruitment. Look at how majestic the major named Perbov looks when he arrives in an armored car, and you can't get a general in the future...... Isn't that great? I really don't understand why you have to be a bandit and a raider. ”

Pol's words are true.

Pity...... Terrell was completely unmoved.

He whispered, "You're done?" ”

"That's it."

"For the sake of your father who saved my life, for the sake of your ten years with me, I have given you a chance to speak. You know, if you beg for mercy, I'll give you a way out, but alas, you can say that. ”

He pulled the trigger.

The bullet pierced through Pol's skull mercilessly.

The captain of the raiders fell limply to the sky as soon as he boarded.

Terrell looked at the other Bol's men and waved his hand in disgust: "Kill all these traitors." ”

There was a burst of gunfire, but no one survived.

Then, Terrell turned his head to look at the guy who had reported Pol earlier.

The man was so frightened that he peed his pants: "You...... You said you'd spare my life. ”

"Yes." Terrell walked up to him and held his head with both hands, "I said that." I will forgive you for your betrayal, but I have not said I will forgive you for the sin that you have killed my good nephew, Pol. ”

"You ......"

Before the guy could say anything more, he felt a huge force coming.

Terrell just wrung his neck alive.

At the end of the execution, looters came up and dragged the bodies away, while others continued to act as guards. Terrell, on the other hand, turned his head to the few people who had been watching the play behind him, and grinned:

"I hate traitors the most in my life, which makes you laugh."

"There's nothing to laugh at, the big leader is still merciful."

"I don't know how old Pol gave birth to such an innocent silly boy."

"We have been rampant in this wilderness for so many years, relying on the guns in our hands, and relying on us to be more ruthless than others. Do you want us to put down our guns and become peasants, to be workers? I'd rather die! ”

Among those who followed Terrell were some of the leaders of his tribe, as well as some of the leaders of the raiders he had invited from elsewhere. At this moment, they were clamoring and praising Terrell for killing well.

At the same time, there are still some words that are not spoken between them and their tacitness.

What Ball said is not entirely unreasonable. Is the life of a raider really good?

They burn and loot, but they have to have something for them to rob. If you meet a fat sheep, a relatively wealthy merchant traveler, and a survivor camp with a certain amount of savings, you can still have a full meal, but this thing is not available all the time, and people will not willingly hand it over to them. If you use a gun or a knife to rob it, you will also die.

Even if they have a relatively strong force, they will not dare to really carry out devastating plundering for many camps, and they must learn sustainable development. They will ask the weak survivor camps to turn in their output. But how much can the camps themselves turn in? In this situation, where everyone is not having a good time, the raiders are not able to eat meat and drink wine every day.

Even in this Sanchi town, when the situation is bad, it is common for people to starve to death. The living will eat the dead in order to survive the famine.

In this case, if what the clerks from the New Alliance said was true, as long as they worked, they could have basic food and clothing, then what bad was it to become a peasant, a worker, or even a soldier?

This is true for the raiders at the bottom, but it is different for those here.

No matter how difficult the ordinary situation is, can it still survive the heads of these leaders?

Either way, they are rulers. They were fed, and they commanded thousands of raiders, who walked freely through the wilderness, roaring by, and living with pleasure.

After entering the new alliance, those middle and lower class and low-level predators can hide the past and live a stable life.

But what about their leaders?

Can you still point the fingers and act recklessly?

I'm afraid it won't work.

It is almost impossible to expect the leader of a group of raiders to give up his privileges with the overall interests of all his men in mind.

However, their minds are not completely controlled by selfish desires, forgetting the actual situation.

Of course, they knew that in their current situation, although they had thousands of guns in their hands, it was still unrealistic to confront the troops led by Perbov head-on. There are many people and guns, but the heavy firepower is seriously insufficient, just twenty small mountain guns, some individual rocket launchers can threaten those heavy armored vehicles, but this risk is too high, and all the people thrown into it may not be able to knock out a few cars.

An anti-armor combat team, when it encounters an armored vehicle or tank, does have the ability to destroy, but the conditions are too harsh. It is not excluded that they can quietly get close to a distance of several tens of meters, and then two or three armor-piercing rockets can hit the side armor. But it's more likely that they were discovered before they could get close, and then they burst everyone out as soon as they came over.

Because of this, they never thought of going head-to-head with the armies of the new alliance.

Otherwise, when Perbov led the team, there would be no need for them to pretend to be obedient.

In fact, Miike Town is all about giving up.

They are not a serious settlement, and Mei She can say about that property, the three broken pools, the broken tavern, say no, and don't want it. Pull people out, where in the wilderness outside can't you sleep?

Fighting guerrilla warfare, what is the great deal about a group of bandits who live by looting?

There are no mountains here, there are some but not many small forests, but the most important thing is that there are a considerable number of urban ruins with a considerable battlefield area!

It was a better place for guerrilla warfare than any other terrain.

If there is a business, you will do it, if there is an opportunity for an ambush, you will fight, and if there is a strong force from your aunt, you will hide in the city. I don't have a nest, I don't have a foundation, can your armored troops drive into the ruins of a city to fight me? In the ruins, is there someone in the armored forces who is nimble and someone who is fast?

However, before they turned into the ruins and into the woodland, they still had to fight an ambush battle.

After those few new Union clerks had run away, Terrell realized that Major Perbow's troops would definitely come over.

Not only did he not let the team run away, but he decided to fight an ambush on the road.
