Chapter 625 Coming, coming, coming!
On April 29th of the last calendar month, the day after the heavy snowfall disaster ended, and the 118th day since humans came to the wasteland.
In civilized times, this time would have already been lively.
Countless migrant workers will start fishing and plan trips for the upcoming May Day holiday.
Students will be looking forward to it, waiting for the holidays to have a good rest, play games and relax.
Merchants will prepare their inventory early and happily wait to make a lot of money during the May Day holiday.
However.
In the apocalyptic wasteland, everything has changed!
After nearly four months of traveling, more than 99% of people have forgotten this memorable holiday.
The pressure of survival has caused everyone to gradually forget even the various aspects of life on earth.
Even when I think about it at night, it feels like a big, illusory dream, both real and illusory.
Tianyuan territory.
Around the large circle that had been opened up in the central depression, the snow had been cleared and transported in an orderly manner for several days to be burned in the alchemy furnace near the village.
From the first three kilometers, to the five kilometers that Soma walked, and then slowly expanded to the current eleven kilometers.
The cleanup is progressing quite quickly.
Follow this trend and wait until Somo comes back from the mountains.
With Hope Village as the center, at least thirty to forty kilometers of the surrounding area can be cleared, unaffected by snow, for further production and use.
It’s just that today, the atmosphere in the territory is obviously not right.
It was already early seven in the morning.
Looking down from a high altitude.
Not to mention that none of the busy snow trucks in the past were seen, even the scattered villagers were nowhere to be seen.
This stopped scene looks like a supernatural event occurred in the territory and everyone disappeared overnight.
But as long as you pull your eyes back and place them near the village, you can find:
Everyone, one by one, is almost all gathered in the square at the entrance of the village!
Buzz.
Hum.
The gathering of thousands of people is not a small scene. In the civilized era, it is enough to shock a party.
At the same time.
These dark crowds standing together, from front to back, are either the armed forces responsible for guarding or ordinary villagers who work diligently on weekdays.
At this time, everyone was wearing simple armor, holding various weapons in their hands, looking forward with serious expressions.
There used to be a place where tables were placed and a catwalk was built.
But now, it has become a temporary prison.
In the large wooden cages lined up row by row, about twenty people were locked inside and were being inspected by everyone.
"Have you not contacted the director yet?"
Standing on the side of the crowd, Li Hu, who is now the Minister of the Armed Forces, frowned and looked at the hurriedly coming Zhang Biao.
Just like Marshal Wang and his party who disappeared into the mountains before.
The electromagnetic interference in the thousands of miles of mountains is still spreading in scope and intensity, and strict precautions are taken to block all electromagnetic waves.
After entering the mountains, the power of the radio carried by the escort team was much stronger than that carried by Marshal Wang, but it also lost its communication function.
Until last night, there was still no news.
“No, I have added an emergency call, but still haven’t received any message!”
Zhang Biao's nervous speech was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Visible to the naked eye, not only Li Hu's face looked ugly, but Chen Shen and Su Deben standing aside also looked ugly.
Fortunately, I glanced at Su Chan who was standing not far away, and Moore who was close to her side.
The three of them quickly adjusted themselves and strode towards the gathering place with murderous intent.
Boom.
Boom.
The footsteps are like the sound of drums, and the steps are like the unfurling of flags.
Seeing the three people on the stage, the villagers who were whispering below immediately shut up, and the scene became quiet for a while.
Except
"Let us go, you damn savages!"
"In the whole world, is it the king's land? If you are caught lynching people like this, it will be a death penalty." Bankruptcy!"
"Please, let me go, you want money, right? Give me the phone number, I will send you as much as you want, don't kill me"
". "
Wave after wave of loud shouts came from the mouth of the man in the cage.
In the quiet square, their voices were so loud that even the villagers standing in the middle of the team below could hear them clearly.
However.
Li Hu and others seemed to be used to these people's reactions. They just frowned and showed little intention to stop them.
"They have been locked up for a day and a night, but they still refuse to talk today?"
Walking to the left side of the cage and facing the guard, Li Hu asked the question directly without beating around the bush.
When he was called, Chen Kai, who was in charge of guarding, shook his head: "No, they not only refused to say the purpose of coming here, but also refused to say from which position, direction, or even which territory they came from."
< br>"You said they are a new group of people from the earth, but they are not. I asked the earth, and they didn't know where they were."
Chen Kai was obviously speechless about the results of the interrogation of these people.
Three days ago, as the disaster ended, some birds and beasts that had not been seen before suddenly appeared in the territory.
The weird things never stopped.
At first, seeing so many lives suddenly added to the territory, all the villagers celebrated happily, and the living environment became better and better.
And Su Chan led her people to collect most of the animals that could be farmed, and gave these new lives a home in the depression.
But the good times did not last long.
With the arrival of the first strange "human" in the territory, everything changed!
On the first day, four people arrived.
The next day, eight people arrived!
On the third day, sixteen people came!
These twenty-eight people seemed to have fallen from the sky.
It appeared in the territory overnight and was discovered by villagers who went out the next day.
At first, the village chief Chen Shen thought they were newly arrived humans on earth, and he kindly took everyone back.
They arrange food and accommodation in order to win over people's hearts, assimilate them and enhance the strength of the village.
But the fact is that these people are not only ungrateful, but also secretly and secretly scouting back and forth in the village.
Later, they were bumped into by Li Hu at night, and three people boldly went into the Ministry of Armed Forces, looking for guns and weapons in order to "defend themselves."
At this time, the "disguise" of these people was seen through. All the villagers in the village went out overnight, arrested everyone at once, and treated them as traitors.
Including the sixteen people who arrived on the third day, they were taken here and locked up without even entering the village gate.
From the performance point of view, these imprisoned people are obviously human beings who have the same origin as the people on earth.
The body is just as weak, the IQ is between the two, and the living habits are the same.
But they are from Earth.
After rigorous interrogation, even Chen Kai himself was a little confused and didn't know how to talk about it.
“They still haven’t recalled where they came from?”
Chen Kai continued to shake his head: "No, I said Earth, they didn't know, I said China, they still don't know"
"I even tried the names of our places, but they didn't know any of them"< br>
"There is no way. I asked them if they remembered where they came from, but they didn't know!"
The interrogation was not afraid of encountering hard problems.
There are many horrific punishments in Chinese history, and there is no need to use them all.
Just take out one of them and it can turn hundreds of refined steel into finger-twirling softness. But if they encounter such people who don't know everything, even the horrific punishment will only make them more afraid.
It completely fails to achieve the desired effect, and it cannot get the desired information.
“It’s weird, it’s really weird!”
Looking through the interrogation information in the interrogation book, reviewing the answers of these people.
Li Hu, Chen Shen, and Su Deben circulated to each other, the confusion on their faces could not be blocked or completely concealed.
Personal experience.
The information provided by these people seems normal.
Those who go to school have a corresponding school, those who work have a matching company, and even the unemployed have a destination they often go to.
The strange thing is that the school they provided only had the word "school" in it, and I couldn't recall the name of the school at all.
I only have an idea of the company provided. I only know where I work, but I can't remember the location or company name.
I have been staying in an Internet cafe for several months, but I can only remember the structure of the Internet cafe, but I can’t remember where the Internet cafe is and what it is called.
Personal talents.
One of them claims to be a ten-year-old woodworker. Given a piece of wood and a carving knife, he can quickly create various wood carvings. He is a complete craftsman.
The student who claimed to be a top student in physics was able to answer the test questions set by Lu Kuan in a coherent manner, unlike someone who was pretending to be a temporary fake.
Even one of the so-called bosses of a thousand-person company, after rousing himself a few times, showed an air of calmness and self-reliance.
“They think we are bad guys, maybe a transshipment base for human trafficking, or a gathering place for terrorist organizations, so they want to grab weapons for self-defense?”
Look over the right After the notes made by the people who had previously sneaked into the Ministry of Armed Forces.
Li Hu snorted and laughed angrily.
According to this person, he found that the village did not have any external communication facilities, nor were there any relatively neutral places like canteens or markets.
Some are just houses for people to live in, and labor tasks with no end in sight.
Based on these factors, these people directly concluded that they were kidnapped to a den of thieves overnight.
If you want to escape, it is unrealistic to rely on the outside world. The only thing you can rely on is your own strength!
"If the people who just crossed over didn't have the prompts from the game and suddenly came to our village, they might be able to say this."
"But they"
Putting down the notebook in his hand, Chen Shen shook his head, with doubts in his eyes.
If Sumo were here, no matter whether these people were humans or ghosts.
As long as Sumo gives an order, no one present will hesitate at all about what to do.
But Soma is not here.
This kind of complex and wide-ranging issue requires everyone to participate in the decision-making process, which is extremely troublesome to deal with.
Let's kill them all. After all, they are human beings. The result of the interrogation is that apart from not knowing anything, there is no big problem.
Let him go without killing him. In this icy and snowy environment, there is no difference from the former one.
Think before you think.
We can only lock everyone up as we do now and wait for Somo to come back before dealing with it.
“Fortunately, it seems that no new people have arrived today!”
Time flew by while flipping through the interrogation manual.
By the time Chen Shen came to his senses, the time on his watch had already passed eight o'clock.
According to the statistics of the time when these people arrive, the latest person among them will not exceed this point.
"With more than twenty people, it's not a big problem. Even if we keep them for more than ten days, the village can still afford these supplies."
"We'll wait until the director comes back to talk about everything."< br>
As the village chief, Chen Shen’s opinions can basically account for about 30%.
After he puts it forward, Shen Ke usually won't deny his opinion, and Wu Feiguang doesn't either.
With these two people abstaining from voting, the decision made by Chen will basically be able to proceed smoothly without any problems.
Thinking like this, Chen Shendang even raised his head, ready to communicate with the two people around him.
However.
Before he could speak.
Chen Shen was shocked to find that everyone seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, froze on the spot, looking behind him with empty eyes.
“This?”
Subconsciously, following the direction in which Li Hu was looking, Chen Shen immediately turned his head and cast his gaze over.
But the next second, just like everyone else.
When I saw the mysterious building that was so huge that it had four floors in the sky, it was slowly landing in the direction of the depression.
Chen Shenjing also froze on the spot, opening his mouth wide and losing all ability to think for a while.
Shanyue Territory.
Have breakfast and pack your bags.
A satisfying night's rest has already made all the guardsmen feel full of energy and have completely returned to their prime.
Considering that there are only twelve days left before the big temperature drop, there are still at least five days to go.
Immediately, Somo decided to set off immediately without any further delay.
It’s just.
“A big tree attracts the wind, and if there are too many people, logistical pressure and cooperation problems will ensue”
“With fewer people, it will be better. "Hide"
"Besides, we are not in a head-on collision with them, so there is no need to bring so many weapons."
Preparation.
Standing at the entrance of Shanyue Village, Sumo felt dumbfounded as he looked at the large pile of weapons and explosives that Feng Mengyue had asked people to bring out.
Follow her ideas.
In order to rescue Guan Shan who was captured, Shanyue Territory will dispatch at least two hundred people this time, fully armed to follow Somo.
Adding in the original nearly one hundred warriors, the entire team would become three hundred.
With sufficient weapons and ammunition, the three hundred people who have been trained have the ability to fight back even if they face five hundred or even one thousand enemies.
This is the only way to be safe.
What Feng Mengyue didn't know was that the weapon on the other side was not what she imagined at all.
If we were to face each other without knowing it, I am afraid that more than half of the three hundred people would be killed or injured in one encounter, leaving them with no ability to fight back.
"In this way, just let Chang'an follow me alone. When the time comes to find Guanshan, it will be easier to get in touch."
"As for the others, you are ready to respond. Once a battle breaks out, this place will inevitably become the place between us and The opponent's base for pulling!"
Without waiting for Su Mo to explain, the two Liu brothers stepped forward to briefly describe the opponent's methods to Feng Mengyue.
Feng Mengyue was immediately shocked and nodded in agreement without thinking.
"That's okay. After you leave, I will start to prepare for battle and arrange defensive facilities"
"If the other party really wants to chase us, we will have to pay a bloody price even if we die!"
With the terrain advantage, Feng Mengyue still looks confident.
Sumo did not dampen his enthusiasm and nodded happily.
Guan Yuan and Feng Mengyue were left to wait for Guan Yu and others to say goodbye for a while. After Feng Tianmin came over and whispered that they were ready to march, the team officially set off.
This time.
With three local people leading the way, and because the remaining hills of Bapan Mountain are extremely flat, the progress was smoother.
It only took half a day for the team to climb over the fourth mountain and head towards the fifth
"Five Finger Mountain" in the Eight Pan Mountains.
