Chapter 1121 We need a plan
People can be killed, but they cannot be knocked down.
This is too idealistic. The reality is that people are often knocked down before they are killed.
The secret base where Dui is stationed is safe, has sufficient food, and even hard currency such as tobacco and candies is too much to use up. The supplies are enough for them to consume for several years. If the food culture machine or food printer in the base can be activated during this period, maybe Can last longer.
But others outside are obviously not.
Since the Red Maple Republic began to suppress the planet, everyone here is either hiding or starving, and they have to fight against diseases. Any illness that seems to be a minor illness in ordinary times is nothing in the current environment where there is a lack of medical treatment. fatal.
Originally, Cao Wei had fifty or sixty soldiers and close to a hundred civilians. Within a few days, the number had been reduced by 80%.
Some people died in the bombardment of the assault landing ship, some people fell under the gunfire of the Red Maple Republic soldiers, and some people died of injuries and illnesses. Counting those who accidentally ran away and could not be traced, the rest There are not many people left in total.
"How many of you are left?"
"Including my people and civilians, there are more than thirty in total."
The number is not too much, and the submarine can fit it.
But the problem is that they don't have enough vehicles to transport so many people. Whether they make two more trips or escort civilians to the port on foot, the risk is very high. If they don't do it well, the entire army will be annihilated.
Duy was a little hesitant. He had also heard about Alyssa's mission these days and knew how important the protection device they were working on was for the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation. This was not just a problem for one planet, it would even affect the entire planet. Whether the war can be won.
Cao Wei is a technical lieutenant, a civilian, but now she has to transform into a real soldier in order to survive.
But although Dui is a regular army, the place where he is stationed is too marginal. He has been used to being unorganized for a long time. When the critical moment comes, he can't make up his mind.
So Duy turned his attention to Alyssa behind him.
Cao Wei also noticed the change in Du Yi's eyes and followed his gaze.
Alyssa, who didn't want to attract attention, stood up at this time and said bluntly: "We can take you in, but the problem is that we don't have enough transportation to evacuate. If we can't solve this problem, the most we can do is Take a small number of civilians and leave."
Cao Wei was already curious as to why civilians were brought along on secret missions. It was even more strange to find that Du Yi always asked Alyssa for her opinion.
Moreover, Cao Wei felt that Alyssa's face looked familiar, but she was sure that she did not recognize this person.
After thinking about it for a while, Cao Wei decided to put this strange sense of déjà vu behind her.
"I would like to ask first how you plan to evacuate."
There are now assault landing ships and shuttles of the Red Maple Republic cruising in the sky. Although the ground is full of rubble and wreckage, there are many hidden places, but there are ground troops stationed at the main intersections of the city. Even if they successfully escape from the city, the great plains in the suburbs It can be seen at a glance, and it will be beaten into parts on the spot.
Alyssa didn't answer immediately. After all, it wasn't safe to expose the only way out to people who didn't know the details.
But Cao Wei seemed to be asking and answering her own questions, and answered her own question:
"You...do you have a way to leave by water? Do you have a submarine?"
Eliminate the impossible, and there aren’t many answers.
Alyssa shrugged, without denying or affirming, and continued to ask:
"So, can you solve the vehicle problem?"
"Well, it looks like this is our only hope."
Cao Wei put out her cigarette butt, knowing she had to seize this opportunity.
"One of our civilians has a warehouse manager who works in a warehouse. He knows what is in most warehouses. There were two wheeled armored vehicles that were originally going to be transported to our station for delivery, but they were just delivered to the warehouse. The Maple Republic is here, and we have reason to believe that the two armored vehicles are still in the containers and have not been opened. If this is not enough, there are still many motorcycles in the warehouse, which are shipped to participate in the event that is supposed to be held in these few days. "There are vehicles in the warehouse that can solve the mobility problem. The most troublesome thing is how to find them."
The warehouse is not a storage room in a person's home, it is too big, but Cao Wei said that there are warehouse managers among the surviving civilians, which can greatly reduce the search time.
And this is also very beneficial to Alyssa. After all, although the items on the list are not very rare, it will definitely take a lot of time for a few people to rummage through such a large warehouse.
"You said before that there is a way for us to enter the warehouse. I want to hear what method it is."
Cao Wei didn't hide it, and pointed at her feet happily:
"This underground pipe gallery can lead to the warehouse. Although it is complicated, we have basically figured out the route in the past few days. We originally planned to go to the warehouse to steal some supplies, but your appearance made me change my mind."
Simple and effective, if you just steal some supplies, it's not impossible.
But now it has been changed to find enough vehicles to take everyone out together, so we cannot return through the underground pipe corridor.
Alyssa realized the meaning of Cao Wei's words, and she said:
"We need a plan."
"What do you think?"
"I……"
As soon as Alyssa opened her mouth, she heard someone shouting from behind in a low voice:
"The dogs are coming! Hide!"
The people hiding in the underground pipe gallery immediately extinguished their emergency lights and hurriedly found an inconspicuous corner to hide.
Cao Wei also signaled Alyssa and the others to hide. There was an intersection of underground pipelines nearby, and there were quite a few places to hide.
"What is a dog?"
"The Red Maple Republic sent us to clean up, hush, don't make any noise, their ears are very sensitive."
The surroundings immediately fell into silence. Except for the weak indicator light that came on from time to time on the pipeline, nothing could be seen clearly. Even the sound disappeared, and even the breathing had to be at the lightest level.
Soon, Alyssa heard the sound of some kind of four-legged animals running in groups in the pipe gallery, and the sound got closer and closer.
With the help of the weak light from the indicator light, you can vaguely see the shadows of dog-like animals, but you can't see the real ones at all. Even when you look over, you will find that these 'dogs' will blend into the shadows, like It's crawling from the shadows.
Evil wolves are a type of monster. Compared to dogs, evil wolves have more sensitive vision and hearing, and they can also move in the shadows much faster than dogs.
More importantly, evil wolves have the habit of being loyal to creatures that are more powerful than themselves. This is one of their survival strategies.
The evil wolf can also understand Common Language (but not speak it), is smarter, and has better obedience. It has completely replaced the status of military dogs in the Red Maple Republic.
There were many Planetary Defense Force personnel like Cao Wei hiding in underground pipe corridors. It was impossible for the Red Maple Republic to lift up or plow the entire ground, so the evil wolves were sent in to clean up.
