The gunfire in the distance continued for a while.
After leaving behind a total of 7 bodies and 3 wounded who were not taken away in time, the looters retreated in a panic on a truck.
The machine guns on the top of the two trucks fired into the forest, and another patrolling machine gun pickup truck in the distance also came to support, firing while covering their own retreat.
The players did not chase out of the forest.
Their transportation was on the south side, and this was the north side of the forest.
After leaving the forest, there was a gentle slope. Without fast and maneuverable transportation, it was impossible to chase four wheels with two legs.
"Fuck, these dogs run so fast!"
Carrying an Iron Fist rocket launcher, looking at the rolling snow foam in the distance, aiming at the battlefield atmosphere group for a while, he finally put the tube down.
At a distance of 200 to 300 meters and a speed of more than 30 yards, it is really difficult to hit without turning on technology.
But thinking of leaving a truck to add 100 war points, he couldn't help but smack his lips.
What a pity!
If only it had been faster!
The commander of the fountain came over from behind and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's already very good. Our task is to drive people away. If we can repel the attack of the predators, we will win. As for the secondary goal, it depends on whether the opponent will give us face. This AI is quite smart. If it sees that the situation is not right, it will turn around and run away."
To be honest, it's a bit cowardly.
But it's also quite realistic.
If the two sides fight in this kind of terrain, it will easily become a tug-of-war. At that time, it will be a competition of who can reinforce faster.
And this is Qingquan City.
Without knowing the strength of the opponent, it is reasonable for the opponent's commander to make the most cautious choice based on limited intelligence.
However, this is not the style of those predators at all.
The commander of the fountain pondered silently in his heart and gave an evaluation of these predators.
These monsters are not easy to deal with!
On the other side.
The guard captain Wrench, wearing a "Type 5" exoskeleton, walked to the center of the village square of Dongliu Camp and found the village chief here.
Looking at the wrinkled old man, he said in a serious tone.
"... The ones who attacked you are the Bone Chewing Tribe. They have recently expanded from the central part of the River Valley Province to the south. Although we have the upper hand this time, I am not sure if they will come back."
Looking around, Wrench continued.
"I am sorry that this happened. We have tried our best."
The villagers dragged the bodies of their compatriots to the square, and roughly counted at least twenty.
Many of them died in miserable and shocking conditions, which made him frown.
What a bunch of beasts!
He couldn't imagine what would happen here if he came a few minutes later.
"Sir, please don't say that," Ma Zhanqiu shook his head and said, "If it weren't for you... I'm afraid our fate would be even worse."
Next to the old man, a ragged man stumbled over.
Half of his face was burned, and his forehead was covered with blood. He seemed to be frightened and kept muttering.
"I said it a long time ago... We should escape from here. This time, it's just a group of little ghosts. The more terrible evil ghosts are still behind. No one can match them, no one!"
Wrench looked at him.
"Who is this?"
Ma Zhanqiu's Adam's apple moved, and he sighed softly.
"He fled from Tianshui City. He is a distant relative of our family. His name is Ma Shan. He is also a poor man. His family has been destroyed once. After escaping by chance, he didn't expect to meet those people here again... He may be a little mentally abnormal."
Wrench: "..."
It's okay to meet twice in a row.
This is really unlucky.
Seeing the man in the exoskeleton looking at him with pity, Ma Shan seemed to be stimulated and said emotionally.
"I'm not kidding! They have big guns and big cars... The scariest thing is, they enslaved the Death Claws! I know I sound crazy, but I saw it with my own eyes! There is no doubt that they are all the minions of the God of Death, otherwise there is no way to explain why those Death Claws stand with them!"
As the most ferocious beast in the wasteland, the Death Claw is regarded as a symbol of death, and is even worshipped as a servant of the God of Death by many ignorant tribesmen.
Wrench was confused and frowned.
Although he didn't understand what he was talking about, his intuition told him that this man might have some very important information.
"I will take you to see the administrator."
Ma Shan looked confused.
"Administrator...?"
Wrench realized that he hadn't announced his home yet, so he said.
"I forgot to introduce myself. We are from Shelter No. 404."
"Shelter?" Ma Zhanqiu was stunned and looked at the wrench in surprise. He obviously didn't expect that he was saved by the blue coat.
After hearing this, the ragged man's face immediately glowed with hope, and he stepped forward and said incoherently.
"Please take me there!"
"As long as we close the door, those predators will definitely not be able to get in!"
...
Outpost.
The thin man sat in the reception room, fidgeting on the chair, with a distracted expression on his face. His eyes looked out the window and the door from time to time, and the slightest movement could make him nervous.
Through questioning, Chu Guang learned that the man's name was Ma Li, the second son of the village chief of Dongliu Camp.
He also had an older brother named Ma Yong, but such trivial matters were not important.
Chu Guang didn't want to take advantage of others' misfortune, but he had to admit that the tragedy at the Dongliu camp had sounded the alarm in the hearts of all the survivors in the northern suburbs.
After seeing the tragic scene there through the drone, the representatives of other survivor settlements were frightened and finally recognized the reality.
The Bone Chewing Tribe has already reached the northern suburbs of Qingquan City!
They are brutal, well-equipped, and proficient in tactics. Ordinary survivor settlements are no match for these hungry wolves!
Those who were originally hesitant and even planned to hesitate on the issue of relocation have now made up their minds and begged Chu Guang to help them, hoping to start the relocation work as soon as possible.
The rest of the things will be easy to say.
There are a total of thirteen survivor settlements in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, scattered over an area of nearly 500 square kilometers.
Chu Guang quickly formulated a transfer plan, evacuating in three batches from far to near.
The five survivor settlements closest to the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base were included in the first evacuation plan.
These include Chaowei Battery Factory, Hope Mountain Cooperative, Scavenger's Home, Highway Town, and Dongliu Camp... a total of more than 600 households, with a total population of more than 1,000, equivalent to six Bet Streets.
There are only nine trucks that can be moved at the outpost, and that's including the four newly captured ones!
People don't have to be truckers, but someone has to move the goods.
Especially food.
Other things can be left alone, but food must be brought!
Otherwise, with so many people at Changjiu Farm, Chu Guang simply can't find enough food for them to eat, and famine may come to him before the people of the Bone Chewing Tribe.
Chu Guang found Liu Ding and mobilized 50 power players to form a transport team, and 100 soldier players to serve as escorts for the evacuation operation.
They will start from the outermost survivor settlement and assist the local survivors in evacuating.
All personnel and supplies will first be evacuated to the New United Gas Station 10 kilometers away from Changjiu Farm, and then go to Changjiu Farm in batches.
As for what happens next...
I can only think about it later.
The most urgent thing now is to drag the people and things back first.
If the looters are given supplies, who knows how many more people will come!
The door of the reception room opened.
Seeing the manager coming in from outside, Ma Li, who was sitting on a stool, immediately stood up and hurriedly greeted him.
"Sir, is my family... okay?"
Chu Guang looked at him and said.
"My subordinates have seen your father. He is in good condition, but... your village may have suffered heavy losses. My people are helping you evacuate. If the situation is optimistic, you will be able to see your father at Changjiu Farm as early as tomorrow evening."
Hearing that his father was still alive, Ma Li breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense shoulders relaxed. However, he couldn't help but tighten his heart when he heard the latter.
This winter was hard to endure...
Now that they have lost their village and their home, it is foreseeable that the days to come will be harder than before.
But no matter what, the other party saved his life.
Ma Li lowered his head and said sincerely.
"Thank you..."
Chu Guang shook his head.
"You're welcome."
"Helping you is actually helping ourselves."
There are more than 70 households in Dongliu Camp, and there are nearly 200 people including the elderly, women and children.
Think about a darker place.
So many people.
It's enough for those predators to eat for a long time...
Ma Li looked at Chu Guang and said sincerely.
"Is there anything I can do? If I can help you."
Chu Guang's heart moved and said.
"The transportation capacity of the outpost base is limited. We plan to evacuate the first batch of survivors in the relocation plan to the new joint gas station ten kilometers away from Changjiu Farm, and then go to Changjiu Farm in batches. If you want to help, you can go there. I can arrange some work for you to comfort the survivors, so that you can see your father soon."
Of course.
This also means standing at the forefront.
Ma Li took a deep breath, overcame the fear in his heart, and nodded solemnly.
"I'm willing to go!"
Chu Guang admired the cheered-up man in front of him and patted his arm.
"Then go."
"The pick-up point is on the north side of the park, my people will take you there!"
...
Outside the east gate of the outpost.
At the gate of the nomadic village, the sisters Qiucao and Qiuye were standing next to the wooden stake with an axe stuck in it, each holding a wooden basket and craning their necks to look around.
In the wooden basket was a full basket of raw silk wrapped around a wooden stick.
Seeing Teng Teng coming from the outpost, the sisters' eyes suddenly lit up.
Especially the extroverted sister, who couldn't help but tiptoe and waved, and excitedly trotted over to hug her and hug her.
"Teng Teng!"
"Good morning, sister Qiu Ye... Ah! No, don't hold me and spin around, this is too weird!"
Her feet finally touched the ground. Teng Teng blushed and smoothed her messy hair. Qiu Ye looked at her at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Teng Teng?"
"No, it's okay... Anyway, don't do this next time!"
Qiu Ye nodded, not quite understanding.
Although she was not very familiar with the language of the residents of the shelter, Qiu Ye was very proficient when it came to the word Teng Teng.
Thanks to the beautiful and kind-hearted Miss Teng Teng, who taught them how to reel silk and gave them a set of reeling tools, the tribe now not only has a lot of beautiful and durable ropes, silk, and cloth, but also has an extra income.
Every morning, Teng Teng would come to them and buy the raw silk produced yesterday from them.
Everyone in the tribe was very grateful to this kind person. The tribe leader also specifically asked himself and his sister to give her the best raw silk in the tribe. As for those of average quality, they could just keep them for themselves, because they didn't need too good ones anyway.
Qiuye was not very interested in those coins, but the pupae of the devil moth were so delicious!
She had never eaten such delicious insects.
They were white and tender, and they were crispy when they were eaten. Whether they were roasted or boiled, they were delicious!
Just when Qiuye was thinking that she must find an opportunity to ask Teng Teng to taste the delicious food she made, her sister Qiucao came over from not far away and reached out to knock on her head.
"Um!"
Qiuye covered her head and looked at her sister with a wronged look. The latter glared at her and scolded her softly.
"You can't be so rude to them. They are our benefactors."
As she said that, Qiucao looked at Teng Teng apologetically, lowered her head, and said seriously with a non-standard pronunciation.
"I'm sorry, sister, I'm causing you trouble."
"No, it's okay, no need to apologize so formally..." Teng Teng, who was not good at dealing with such occasions, was slightly embarrassed, especially Qiu Ye's pitiful expression made her feel helpless, so she quickly changed the subject, "By the way, raw silk."
As she said that, she took out a bag of silver coins from her pocket and handed it to Qiu Cao.
Qiu Cao was slightly stunned, then politely took it and picked up the wooden basket on the ground.
"We are done, we can help you, take it over."
"It's okay, it's okay, I can take it back myself, it's not far."
Looking at Qiu Ye standing behind her sister with a wronged face, Teng Teng walked up, gently touched her head, and said happily.
"Thank you, you've worked hard!"
"These materials are a great help!"
With these materials, many clothes can be made!
"Thank you!"
Qiu Ye's eyes lit up and a smile immediately bloomed on her face.
She understood this word!
It means to express gratitude and affirmation!
At this moment, there was a commotion at the north gate of the outpost. A large number of people carrying rifles marched north with great momentum.
It was the same yesterday.
The tribesmen in the village stopped their work, looked towards the north, and whispered.
"What happened..."
"I heard it was in the north."
"North! Has the chaos spread here?"
"May the spirits of the ancestors bless us, and may those warriors return victorious."
"I hope the war will not burn here... We finally found a place to stay."
The days of wandering were too hard.
No one wanted to go back to live that kind of life.
Looking at the north, Qiu Ye shrank nervously beside her sister.
Qiu Cao gently patted her sister's head and comforted her softly.
"Don't be afraid."
"The administrator will protect us."
Although she didn't understand what the sisters were saying, Teng Teng could feel the uneasiness in their eyes.
Giving them a firm look, Teng Teng comforted the two with an encouraging tone.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Everyone in the shelter will protect you!"
...
At the north gate of the park.
Two trucks stopped.
[Edge Paddling], carrying a sickle assault rifle, called his teammates to get on the car.
"Brothers, get on the car, it's time to live! It's time to live!"
[Mission: Go to "Super Power Battery Factory" (in progress)]
[Mission: Cover the relocation of residents of "Super Power Battery Factory" (not started)]
[Debt Big Eyes], who jumped into the car with a "Sickle" semi-automatic rifle equipped with an optical sight, shouted and made a noise.
"Let's go, let's follow Brother Shui to put out the fire!"
Edge Paddling rolled his eyes.
"Fuck, can you change your name? Can't you call me Edge?"
However, it would have been better if he didn't resist. This resistance caused more people to make noises around him.
The boy and the brick on the construction site: "Okay, Brother Shui! Where are we going to spray water today?
Makabazi: "What water are you spraying, Brother Shui? Where are we going to give away our heads today?"
Edge paddling: "@#%! "
Due to the ridiculously high casualties, the team that was paddling on the edge was also well-known on the forum, and was often teased by players and cloud players as the black car of death.
When they encountered mutants before, they suffered heavy casualties in two rounds. The last time, if the planner hadn't changed the difficulty and spawned a team of friendly forces in power armor next to them, they might have been wiped out directly!
It was the same when they attacked the experimental base at night last night. As a feint attack group, their team's casualties were as high as 50%.
Although everyone knew that he was not to blame for so many deaths, he was always killed by the plot in big scenes, which was really a bit too bad.
But the strange thing was.
He survived every time.
Because of this, many people were still arguing on the forum whether high perception would increase dodge or luck, otherwise it would be completely unacceptable.
After getting on the car, [Debt Big Eyes] still couldn't stay idle, and smiled and teased [Construction Site Boy and Brick] next to him.
"Are you opening? A little gambling is fun, just bet 1 silver coin and guess today's death lottery. "
[Construction site boy and brick] Without thinking, he coolly stretched out five fingers.
"I bet five."
As for why five?
Because he only has five fingers, and the other hand is in his pocket and he is too lazy to take it out.
"Tsk," Big Eyes said, "Then I'll bet six."
Another player next to him heard it and shuddered all over.
"Fuck, don't say it."
"I just want to get off the bus! "
There were 10 mobilized teams, two of which were led by Bianbianhuashui and headed to the Chaowei Battery Factory, 22 kilometers away.
This battery factory is located in a small town and produces safe, reliable and environmentally friendly solid hydrogen batteries. Its products were well-known before the war. The two public elementary schools and kindergartens in the town were even funded by it.
However, more than two centuries later, the only relationship between this battery factory and batteries is probably the sign that can barely read the words.
Most of the houses in the factory area collapsed, and only the walls were barely usable. There were no dangerous alien species nearby, so people came to settle down over time.
The survivors built houses and repaired walls with the materials they picked up. They made a living by scavenging and farming, and have lived here for many years.
Two trucks stopped at the gate of the factory area.
The survivors, carrying large and small bags and even carts, have gathered at the gate.
Many people had confused expressions on their faces. Although there had been rumors for a long time that the Bone Chewing Tribe had spread the flames of war to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, no one had expected that everything would happen so suddenly.
The young guard jumped off the car, walked quickly to the factory gate, and met the village chief of the survivors' settlement.
He was a hunchbacked old man, his face was covered with the frost of the years, but he still looked very tough.
Lv Bei stood in front of him, his expression serious, and said concisely.
"Lv Bei, the guard of Shelter No. 404! I am here to support your evacuation under the order of the manager!"
Although he was a little worried about the young man's slightly immature appearance, the soldiers behind him still made the old man feel relieved.
Nodding, the old man said.
"My name is Li Zhong, and I am the village chief here. I have heard about the situation from the children. We have packed our things and can set off at any time. "
"We will abide by your rules, and we hope you will keep your promise and abide by the agreement between us. "
Lu Bei nodded and said loyally.
"Don't worry about this. The manager has planned a bright future for you. Now please follow me--"
Before the voice fell, gunshots suddenly came from a distance, and bullets whizzed towards the door. A string of bullet holes was instantly printed on the concrete wall, and dust flew.
Startled by the sudden gunshot, the survivors around hid from the door.
However, there were a few people who remained calm in the face of danger. They picked up their weapons and squatted at the door, firing back in the direction of the bullets.
Looking suddenly to the north, Lu Bei's eyes widened slightly, and he saw a pickup truck with steel plates on it, which had stopped at the corner of the road.
The black barrel of the gun was looking straight at this side!
The edge of the water not far away had already rushed up with a roar, firing to attract firepower, and commanding the team members to disperse.
"Enemy attack!"
"Driver, don't get off the car! The truck is driving into the factory!"
"Team A, defend on the spot, Team B, follow me! We have to shoot before they surround us!"
"Ready the gun! 100-yard ruler, shoot!"
