Chapter 1070: Expanding influence, the second alliance meeting!
In times of peace, humans are still unable to predict when each turmoil will break out.
In the chaotic wasteland, it is even more difficult to judge the future direction of the current situation.
As the Dilonghua Sanctuary opened, the Harbor Sanctuary then announced its unconditional "surrender".
Less than six hours.
Of the thirty-seven shelters in the southern suburbs, eight decisively chose to follow up and opened their doors to Qinggang Shelter.
As dusk approaches, the bustling Qinggang New Town is already bustling with activity.
In the gap opened under the lightning wall, a Ranger Legion soldier who exuded a strong smell of shit was striding in with his head held high.
I saw many New Town residents who came out to greet me frowning and covering their noses.
Not only did they not feel shy, but they puffed out their chests, trying to spread the body odor farther.
What a joke, these residents who have stayed in the shelter and have never been anywhere in their lives are just naive. Do they think they can use civilized methods to get the gopher guys in the southern suburbs to come out and surrender?
It was by using these seemingly "stinky" methods that they successfully and perfectly achieved their goals.
Even the casualty rate did not exceed 10%!
Even if the regular army from Qinggang Sanctuary is deployed, it will be difficult to reach this number.
Not to mention.
He took a look at the lightning wall guards who were usually aloof but now full of smiling faces.
The soldiers of the Ranger Legion are increasingly satisfied.
Sometimes if you think about it carefully, it would actually be nice to have no weapons like guns that are equal to all beings.
At least now these idiots with cold weapons and daggers in their hands will no longer act like gopher guys.
However, not everyone is happy with the change.
Especially the controller of this new city.
“These damn bedbugs, can’t they wash away the stink on themselves first?”
Lying on the wall and watching the scattered teams walking in from a distance, but there was no How many people are willing to wash themselves in the temporary bathhouse outside the city wall?
Commander Edmund muttered in a low voice, and the corners of his unshaven mouth with blood blisters were also affected by the rebuke, and there was a tingling sensation.
If it were the past, there was no way he would have told the guards to open the door to these bedbugs who hadn't even cleaned up their feces and urine.
But now, as guns have become toys, all-indestructible tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery have become scrap metal.
To want to restrain these wanderers as strictly as before is already something that can only happen in a dream.
No exaggeration.
After just one night, the military strength of Clear Harbor Sanctuary was completely reduced.
Let alone launch a decent attack, it is difficult to maintain the current situation.
But fortunately, the gophers who were being attacked in the southern suburbs of the city seemed more frightened.
When the news of the surrender in the afternoon came back through human solitaire, Edmund felt that his tense spirit relaxed a little.
Although you still have to bear the risk of those people in the southern suburbs overturning the table, the risk is finally decreasing.
And the current large-scale surrender in the southern suburbs also gives Qinggang Shelter a good excuse to withdraw its troops.
There is no need to lose face and show cowardice, nor do we need to continue to intensify the situation in the southern suburbs.
After all the Rangers return to the new city, when will the metal stop this horrific change and when will the next round of stress testing begin.
“Report, the soldiers who went to the western suburbs to inquire about intelligence have returned!”
At this time, the deputy commander’s voice came from the stairs below the city wall, and Edmund was so surprised that he turned around quickly Overdone.
There were two soldiers running up in embarrassment, with several tears in their clothes.
“Did people from the western suburbs attack you?”
Edmund was shocked, but he still managed to maintain a controlled expression on his face.
"No, no, we encountered some strange radiation beasts when we came back. We were attacked by them!"
"Is it a radiation beast?"
E Demong breathed a sigh of relief, not paying attention to the strange radiation beast that the warrior said.
The shelters in the eastern suburbs are all inhospitable. In addition, they are far away from the core cluster of the city and basically do not participate in the urban civil unrest.
In his opinion, the biggest enemies in the city currently are the Southern Suburban Alliance and the Western Suburban Alliance.
Although the Western Suburbs Alliance is only a collection of three shelters, this is also their advantage.
Having fewer people means there will be no communication problems and there will be greater internal harmony.
The trinity of offensive and defensive alliances, coupled with Yehu, a war madman who is good at hand-to-hand combat.
Once they launch a revenge counterattack, they will become a big trouble in Qinggang New City!
"Yes, they are a few special radiation beasts that look like humans. They seem to have learned how to use weapons."
"Never mind this, what about the western suburbs? Is there any sound coming from the western suburbs?"
>
Interrupting the soldier's voice, Edmund continued to ask impatiently.
“No, the Western Suburban Alliance is still constructing defensive separation facilities step by step. They have established a simple pass on the High Ring Road. We failed to pass there, but we can also see that the construction people did not panic. Emotions."
"In addition, we also saw people from Pingtan Shelter. They were leading people to patrol the entrance and exit of Gaohuan. It seemed that they did not want to start any war and just wanted to defend their territory. ”
"Tianyuan. Tianyuan Shelter"
Speaking of this, a touch of anxiety suddenly appeared on the soldier's face, and his voice stuttered.
"What's going on? What happened there?"
"We. Although we entered their territory, we were discovered not long after we entered!"
"What?"
Edmund was slightly startled, and there was a complex look on his face.
Since the last night attack broke out, the headquarters has made a simple ranking of the strength of these neighbors.
Among them, Tianyuan Sanctuary ranks thirteenth, with a combat strength of approximately fifteen thousand people.
But now, it seems it’s time to move this ranking up a bit.
“They are still building high walls at the border. They are learning from our lightning wall. In addition, these people are very cunning. They deliberately left gaps where they had already set up ambushes, waiting for us to enter.”
"Less than a kilometer in, our men were captured."
"Then what?"
Already prepared, Edmund was not surprised this time.
Originally, he sent people to investigate the situation of the Western Suburbs Alliance, and he had already made full plans and even prepared for war.
What is happening now is still within the acceptable range.
"Then."
The soldier was stunned and said with an embarrassed look: "There is no more, for fear of being discovered by the other party, we all ran away!"
"Okay, okay"
Rubbing his temples, Edmund knew that he could not put too much pressure on these intelligence soldiers.
Since the other party is fully prepared, they will catch everyone who goes in.
With their teammates captured, the best thing for the remaining people to do is to retreat in time and bring the news back to New City.
After asking some more details, Edmund raised his hand and waved away the two soldiers, and immediately convened a temporary meeting. Regardless of how the other party reacts, whether or not they will launch a retaliatory counterattack.
As the undoubted bosses in the city, they must not show cowardice and must make plans in advance to prevent sudden attacks from causing trauma to the new city.
After all, the losses caused by the last raider attack were too exaggerated.
Behind the lightning wall, it can no longer bear any trouble!
Of course, that is what Edmund would not have thought of.
At the same time that he held the defense meeting, the Western Suburbs Alliance was not as calm as imagined, but immediately opened its second formal meeting after its establishment.
It’s night.
Two kilometers due east of Tianyuan Warning Wall.
Behind the heavy wooden gate that had been prepared in advance was an outpost that was being built overtime.
Hundreds of architecture players are walking lively through the large construction site, planning and building houses.
Due to the outbreak of the metal disaster, the material of the house was temporarily changed from reinforced concrete to brick-concrete.
However, this place was not originally intended to be used as a military base, so there is no need to worry about reduced defense.
In contrast, the southern suburbs of Qinggang City, which had been bustling for more than half a month, were extremely quiet tonight.
Without the harassment of the Rangers, the Gophers finally lived a peaceful life that they had not seen for a long time.
However, even if it is already past ten o'clock in the evening.
The gate under the security wall was not closed as usual. Instead, several spotlights were turned on.
As the hour hand moved forward a little further, sparse figures began to appear at the end of the darkness.
He is from Pingtan Shelter!
The guards on the high wall immediately identified the approximate identity of the visitor through their conspicuous uniforms.
Then further information was obtained from the encrypted communication signal sent by the other party raising a flag.
Of course, with such a simple verification, it is possible for someone to steal your identity and impersonate it.
But it is not needed at this moment.
The tall figure walking in front of the crowd was extremely recognizable. He was clearly the manager of Pingtan, who was over two meters tall.
Tiger hunting!
The conspicuous crimson complexion cannot be shrouded even by darkness, but instead brings out a strange black-red color, as if the evil ghost from hell has crawled back to the human world.
Plus the mace he is carrying that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
The length of this thing is already over one meter, and the spikes on it alone are as long as a baby's arm.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you can play with this weapon, it will definitely be called a road roller in the cold weapon era.
However, although the hunting tiger looks murderous, it becomes strangely polite when it gets closer.
After following the rules, he first sent someone to approach him individually, and then led the remaining people into the level.
In the distance, when he saw Sumo standing at the gate of the outpost talking to someone, Liehu's stern expression relaxed.
"My dear ally, the owner of Tianyuan Territory. The construction speed of this base is really fast. Remember that the last time I came here, I didn't even build the foundation. It's going to be big in the blink of an eye!"
Yihu said compliments that he was not good at, his face was red and he looked a little silly due to his height.
But these words were from his heart.
Since infrastructure construction started in the western suburbs during this period, he discovered how difficult it was to restore the glory of mankind.
Let alone building such a base.
Just clearing the ruins, arranging materials, and planning the construction is enough to give a headache.
“This is due to the recent stability in the western suburbs. We have a lot of time to develop infrastructure.”
Turning around and looking up at Yehu, Sumo continued with a gentle smile on his face and a relaxed tone.
"You came very quickly. The rest of the people should be on their way now. Do you want to go in and sit down first?"
"No, let your people. I mean, If you can, please give me some snacks like the one you had last time. It’s been a long time since I took someone on such a long journey, and I’m really tired from the journey.”
The metal sigh has caused all the vehicles to wander. All screwed.
Including Yehu's exclusive tank vehicle, he witnessed it with his own eyes and quickly aged into a ball of scrap metal.
Hiking all the way here, in order to beware of dangers that may arise at any time.
Xiehu only ate three-thirds full before going out. Although his physical strength was amazing, he was inevitably a little tired at this time.
“No problem, if you come to my place from now on, don’t worry about anything else, just eat as much as you want.”
A palm-sized leek box that can fill an adult’s stomach after just two is said by Yehu It's a small snack, which fits his body shape.
Sumo turned around and gave some instructions, and soon a guard brought hot meals from the canteen of the outpost.
Hunting tigers are not afraid of being burned, let alone being poisoned.
I picked up three steamed buns with my right hand, and a plate of vegetables with my left hand, poured it into my mouth and started chewing.
“Hmm, it’s delicious. I won’t be used to it when I eat it here!”
Not used to it?
Sumo's eyes lit up and he snapped his fingers.
"How about I send a few cooks to the Pingtan shelter and open a canteen inside your shelter. Then you can eat there every day!"
Hunting Tiger: "."
Is this guy serious?
If someone else had said that, he might have turned against him.
The main way the Gopher Man's Sanctuary can maintain its "purity" is to close it.
Like a frog trapped at the bottom of a well, he will always feel that the sky is only as big as the mouth of the well.
The same goes for the residents of the shelter.
If they know that life in the outside world is not so dangerous, the sun on the surface is hot and warm, and the air will no longer have that lingering stench.
How many people are willing to stay underground in a damp, cold place without sunlight all day long?
After reading the notes left by the previous manager, Yehu didn’t think that he would be able to perfectly control the shelter by then.
But
If you think about it carefully, more and more residents have come to work on the surface recently, and they have begun to come into contact with the outside world.
A few more cooks wouldn’t be a big problem, right?
There was a pause for a moment, just as the hunting tigers and the heavenly beings were fighting, and while eating, they were thinking about whether to agree to Somo's proposal.
In front of the wooden door, a new team came again.
The blue, white and gray uniform has a conspicuous colorful circle around its neck.
The number of people in the team is not large. At a rough count, there are nearly a hundred people, and they all hold a variety of cold weapons in their hands.
“Hey, it seems that our new ally is not slow either!”
Relying on the bonus of the Eye of True Sight, Soma’s sight penetrated the darkness and finally landed on the target. Central location surrounded by crowds.
A thin man was standing there, looking curiously at the warning wall covered with light sources.
Sumo also met this man at the meeting held at Sunny Harbor Refuge.
From the 'Horsens' shelter in the southern suburbs.
Manager, Kevin Horsens.
