Chapter 633 They are not human! who are they!
The night on the plain was extremely cold.
At one o'clock in the morning, the outside temperature had dropped to more than ten degrees below zero.
Lying on the snow, Chen Shen was supposed to be cold.
Not only did he not feel the slightest bit of cold, but instead he felt a burning sense of anxiety and irritability gathering in his heart.
"How long will it take for Captain Li Hu to bring people here?"
Hearing Chen Shen's question, the soldier who had just finished contacting him with his mobile phone quickly said: "Village Chief, there are about ten minutes left"
"Okay!"
When he heard that there were still ten minutes left, Chen Shen could only suppress his thoughts for the time being and force himself to calm down.
While he was telling people to go back and get the telescope, he had already determined a fact with the simple telescope in his hand.
Someone.
There is someone in this mysterious building complex.
And there are quite a few of them!
The confirmation of these three points is almost certain.
This is probably one of the most difficult situations that everyone has encountered since arriving in the New World!
Four or five minutes passed with such anxious waiting.
The soldier who had gone to the rear vehicle to get the binoculars finally came back and rushed over with a box half as tall as a man.
Contained here is the treasure of Hope Village.
An ultra-long-distance telescope with a physical magnification of up to fifteen times was won by a lucky person from a lucky bag.
Under the extremely large light entrance of this telescope, even if there is very little light in the wilderness at night, it is far from enough for observation.
But it is far better than the optical zoom that manufacturers in the civilized era used to promote mobile phones.
In a few moments, I set up the tripod of the telescope and quickly assembled the lens barrel.
Chen Shen couldn't wait to raise his head, put his eyes on the observation port, and began to carefully observe the mysterious building complex falling from the sky for the first time.
"Hiss"
Looking inside from the outside, with just a quick glance, Chen Shen took a breath of cold air.
The previous vague observations could only confirm that the other party's architectural structure must be much more advanced than the village, at least on par with the earth in the civilized era.
Looking at it now, I am afraid that it is not only the same, but even better.
Beyond some!
For the outermost gate, the village uses ready-made stones as the foundation, cast steel as the skeleton, and a wooden sign on the top as the village's sign.
The door of this mysterious building complex is actually made of unknown materials. The entire door looks like one, with no trace of splicing at all.
Especially on its signboard, there are many weird-shaped decorations hanging.
“It’s strange, this architectural style looks like a human handiwork.”
“But the details, why are they so Cthulhu?”
Looking at the dried tentacles on the signboard and looking at the carapace of various creatures hanging next to them, Chen Shen murmured and shuddered all over.
The practice of hanging a sign on the door to show one's identity is widely used in human gathering places, and it is difficult to see foreign races imitating it.
Correspondingly.
Hanging some prey heads or biological corpses on the gate is in the style of an alien race. Few fools in human gathering places would be so ostentatious.
But when it comes to hanging both a sign and a head, such a fusion, few people have ever seen it.
After all, until now, there are no human beings that can truly integrate with alien races, and there is no alien group that allows humans to occupy half of the sky.
I didn’t find what I wanted in the place where I can get the best information.
Chen Shen pursed his lips, swallowed saliva to moisten his dry throat, and continued to look at the most conspicuous place in the building complex.
Center Bonfire!
Under the firelight here, Chen Shen used his portable binoculars before and could roughly see a figure flickering among them, but he could not see the specific shape and appearance of the figure.
Now, with a large telescope, the distance still looks blurry due to the light.
But it is much better than before!
Chasing one of the figures that had just appeared, Chen Shen stared at it carefully without blinking, waiting patiently for it to pass by the light of the fire.
About ten seconds later.
The figure flashed past.
Seeing this, Chen Shen immediately felt relieved.
Then, I became inexplicably nervous and excited.
"Chen Yu, tell Captain Li Hu not to alert the snake yet"
"Ask him to park the car three kilometers away and walk here like us"
"The building where this group descended There are people in the group, and they are most likely us humans."
"Their strength looks pretty good. If they have weapons, they are no match for us in a hurry!"
See the shuttle clearly! The people in this mysterious building complex do look like humans.
Walk on two legs.
Two arms hold supplies.
Chen Shen turned his head, thought for a while, and carefully arranged a few sentences.
As long as it is not a foreign race but a human being, then it doesn’t matter what the other person’s identity is.
Being from the same clan, there is always a chance to talk.
At that time, if the other party is unwilling to negotiate, it will not be a big problem with the buffer time and the home field advantage.
But if the other party is willing to negotiate.
“This is an opportunity!”
“If the other party is willing to join our territory and become a subsidiary village.”
"I'm afraid the director will be extremely happy when he comes back!"
Thinking of this, Chen Shen secretly clenched his fists and became a little more determined.
As the village chief, Chen Shen knew clearly.
What exactly was Sumo doing when he entered the mountain this time?
For other management, Sumo went in to find out the details of the mysterious enemy, and also to find the missing Marshal Wang and others.
Those words told to the villagers to rescue more survivors are just excuses to comfort everyone.
It cannot be taken seriously.
After all, it is extremely difficult to bring hundreds of people back from a mountain thousands of miles away, and just thinking about it gives people a headache.
But only Chen Shen knew that speaking these words to the villagers was probably Somo’s real purpose!
There are too few people in the village, which is not enough to support the recovery of science and technology in the civilized era, nor is it enough to support the further improvement of productivity!
Population, if you don’t grab it now.
After waiting for two months or three months, humans spread out further and hid deeper.
Waiting for three disasters and five disasters, the number of humans in the New World continued to decline sharply due to natural disasters.
At that time, I’m afraid it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack!
"Village chief, Captain Li Hu has already notified them, they will be there soon"
Chen Shen nodded quickly: "Sure, you go and pick them up, be sure to ask them to be careful, don't Expose our whereabouts!”
The instructions are completed.
Arrangements are in order.
Watching the soldier who reported the news go away, Chen Shen turned his head and continued to focus his attention on the direction of the building complex.
Different from the anxious mood before, now that he knew that the other party was a human being, Chen Shen suddenly calmed down a lot.
Even while observing, he still thought about how to communicate and negotiate with the other party.
"First of all, we must not expose the identity of the director and the location of the territory. This is our last trump card, and we must grasp it well."
"Secondly, if we really can't reach an agreement, we can delay it as long as possible. The director will come back and talk again. We must not break out into conflicts with them easily."
"The most important thing at the moment is to understand their identities. It is best to know where they come from, whether they are human beings, and where they are from. Human beings, what is the purpose?"
After being put in a suitable position by Sumo and developing his potential, Chen Shen's code of conduct began to be more and more in line with his position.
He lost a lot and gained a lot.
The impetuous, passionate, and adventurous spirit that I once had can no longer be seen.
In its place, he was filled with caution, alertness and shrewdness.
In the wasteland, Chen Shen gained a wonderful life that may be difficult to have in his lifetime on earth.
On the other hand, Li Hu, who was originally just an ordinary retired soldier, gradually gained his second life in the position of Minister of the Armed Forces.
“Stop there!”
Driving the truck captured from the Zeus Sanctuary, Li Hu frowned and gave instructions after spotting the spot where Dihu was parked in the distance.
On the way here, through the mobile phone, he already understood the identity of the other party.
After hearing that another group of humans arrived.
Unlike Chen Shen, who was thinking about ways to talk to the other party, Li Hu had only one idea in his mind.
Conquer!
Conquer by force!
In peaceful times, Chen Shen was just a top law student who had just graduated from college.
Even though the wasteland has changed him a lot, gentleness and elegance still dominate his mind.
But Li Hu is different.
He knew very well that the other party was in his territory, leaving only two choices.
First, life and death.
The integrity of territorial sovereignty must not be violated, even if the other side says it is just using local development.
First, the distance between the two sides is too close. Once the other side changes its mind, it will suddenly launch a surprise attack.
Hope Village can easily be caught off guard and end up being wiped out without any preparation.
Secondly, there are many secrets and resources in the village. If the other party pushes forward, he will be like Uncle Liu Huang in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Borrow the place first, then borrow the resources later.
In the end, once you cannot subdue them, this behavior is tantamount to staking the enemy and raising a tiger to cause trouble!
Second, completely conquer.
Same as the first point, only one person can survive in the second option.
But the difference is that it is not one of the two villages that survives, but the sovereignty of the territory.
If the other party is willing to hand over all weapons and disclose his secrets unconditionally, then for the people of Hope Village.
Their identities are no different from ordinary survivors. They can be broken up by means and slowly conquered.
This is what Li Hu wants to achieve.
For this reason, when the truck stopped, he clenched the rifle in his hand, his eyes firmer than ever before.
Open the door and step out of the truck.
The forty-five soldiers pulled in the rear truck also began to jump out of the vehicle one after another, checking the weapons in their hands and the equipment on their bodies.
About a minute or so passed, when everyone had finished checking and assembled in formation.
Li Hu strode to the middle, clenched his right fist, and hit his heart with a thud.
Everyone watching this action became extremely nervous.
You must know that Li Hu failed to make this gesture when he attacked the mysterious building before.
And now, when Minister Li Hu makes this move, it means only one meaning.
Everyone must be ready for the next battle:
Sacrifice your life for all the villagers, for Hope Village, and for Director Somo.
!
"Everyone is here, listen to my instructions"
"Current combat readiness level: red level"
"Current enemies, all creatures other than our own, including strange humans, including strange alien races "
"I have only one request. Once a conflict breaks out, all other creatures except our own people will be our enemies. What you have to do is to reduce their number as much as possible!"
When Soma traveled to the Treant territory, the combat readiness level set by the village was light yellow level four.
This means that the probability of conflict breaking out is about 5%-10%, and the probability of village annihilation is 0%.
Before the heavy snowfall, when the village attacked the Dwarf Blackstone Camp, the combat readiness level was bright yellow level three.
This means that the probability of conflict breaking out is above 20% and below 50%, and the probability of the village being wiped out is still 0%.
But now, red level one combat readiness level.
This means that the possibility of conflict breaking out is over 90%, and the possibility of the village being wiped out is also a full 50%.
"No!"
They also raised their fists and hit them on the heart. Everyone responded to their attitude with actions.
At this time, they also understood that the village was very likely to reach a critical moment of life and death.
You can survive even for a while by shrinking like this all the time, but you won’t be able to survive forever.
Only charge fearlessly and tell the enemy your attitude with the steel gun in your hand.
Only then can we gain that glimmer of hope!
"The intelligence team will leave first, and the remaining people will form a team of ten and follow me silently!"
Among the forty-five people.
The five of them were scouts. After receiving Li Hu's order, they moved away from the flanks and aimed directly at the light point.
The remaining forty people were divided into four teams. Under the leadership of the joint warriors, they quickly went to where Chen Shen was hiding.
After six minutes and forty seconds, the two teams finally connected.
"Let's talk to the other party, if they..."
"I'll take people in first and see if I can..."
As soon as they met, Li Hu and Chen Shen almost They all wanted to express their thoughts in unison.
But just after the conversation was over, the two of them stopped talking tacitly, looked at each other, and signaled the other person to speak first.
He paused and looked at Chen Shen's slightly younger face.
Li Hu couldn't hold back the fighting spirit in his heart, and thought of a compromise and spoke first:
"Village chief, no matter whether this group of people are enemies or friendly forces, we will always fight with Say hello to the other party and let them know that their current location belongs to us."
"In this way, whether the other party is willing to talk or has a tough attitude and tells us to get out, we can come back to discuss it in the future. ”
When I just finished speaking.
The so-called "greeting" in Li Hu's mind was to use his own force to sneak in first and catch a person talking.
In this way, if you have the upper hand, you can at least ensure that you get enough information and will not fall into passivity.
But within the next half minute.
After being led by Chen Shen and observing the other party's buildings through the telescope for a while, Li Hu quickly gave up the idea.
“Since the opponent’s force may be higher than ours, it is indeed rude to make such a rash advance”
"In this way, village chief, you take three people to call the door, and forty of us will cover you from behind."
"Once the other party launches an attack, get down quickly and we will directly launch a counterattack!"
>He rashly goes to the opponent's territory, kidnaps its members, and crushes them with force.
But if they are equal, or the other party is higher than you.
It's easy to break up and start fighting directly.
This is not what Chen Shen wants to see, nor is it the result Li Hu wants.
"Okay, Brother Hu, don't be nervous, maybe the other party is not as bad as we thought!"
Smiled and reassured Li Hu.
Chen straightened his collar and patted the snowflakes on his body.
The two armies were fighting and the envoys were not killed.
This is an unspoken rule in the civilized era, but it will not be feasible in the apocalypse.
In this business, knowing that he was taking great risks, Chen Shen felt miraculously calm.
He casually nodded to three people, and a group of four people began to move forward slowly under everyone's gaze.
On the way, I was afraid that the other party wouldn’t be able to see me.
Chen Shen also took out a long-abandoned torch in the village, lit it, and held it high in his right hand.
At one kilometer, the four-man team, like fireflies in the dark night, was not noticed by the people inside.
At eight hundred meters, the figures inside were still flashing, but they still turned a blind eye to Chen Shen and the others coming slowly outside.
Chen Shen and the others were fine with such an anxious test, but Li Hu and his party, who had been following Chen Shen two hundred meters behind, were sweating nervously.
Keep moving forward.
Always close.
As Chen Shen and the others finally slowly approached within 500 meters of the mysterious building complex.
The figures inside finally discovered the traces of the four people.
And this time, it was like poking a hornet's nest, with bursts of sound coming out.
“Oops, they are not human at all, they still have guns in their hands!”
“Quick, be ready for battle at any time and prepare to rescue the village chief!”
At this distance, in just a moment, Li Hu used his telescope to see the true appearance of the figure emerging from the opponent's building complex.
The humans Chen Shen mentioned were clearly a group of aliens!
Although they are just like humans, they walk on two feet and hold weapons in their hands.
But just like the first wave of aliens that descended on the wasteland, they were all mutated animals.
And this group of animals.
"It's a fish-man!"
Looking at the fins on the top of the opponent's head that had not completely degraded, Li Hu's nervous whole body began to tremble, and his right hand holding the rifle could not help shaking up and down.
When humans face alien races, their greatest reliance is on the modern technological weapons in their hands.
Guns!
With it.
Human beings can completely make up for their physical weakness and kill enemies hundreds of meters away without being seen.
A single person can exert dozens of times his individual combat power, enough to fend off dozens or hundreds of people with one person!
Even if you are facing off against a stronger alien race, you can still kill them with a gun.
This is the greatest confidence that humans have when facing the unknown, and it is also the spiritual pillar that gives them the confidence to survive to the end in the wasteland.
But now, Li Hu was shocked.
Because at the first moment, he could clearly see the weapons in the hands of this group of fishmen.
"Oh no, the guns in their hands look more advanced than ours"
The fishmen rushing out of the mysterious building complex were very fast, and in just a blink of an eye, there were Hundreds of people surrounded Chen Shen who was passing by.
At the same time, their tactical literacy is also terrifyingly high. Compared with most trained warriors, they are even better.
Not only were the murlocs responsible for coming forward to contact Chen Shen, there were also murlocs who lay down on the spot and set up gun lines.
Stuck at the awkward distance of two hundred meters.
Li Hu could only ask everyone to lie down on the ground and reduce the movements of himself and others as much as possible to reduce the risk of being discovered.
“Never fire the first shot until the last moment”
“Tell the village quickly, be alert and be ready for battle at any time.”
"This time, we are in big trouble!"
Seeing Chen Shen being put in the middle, looking like he was in a dilemma, Li Hu ordered and silently turned on the safety of the rifle.
The battle is almost on the verge of breaking out!
