Chapter 558, To Go or Not to Go
It was already evening when Old Li and Qin Sheng’s unarmed rock climbing ended, and it was late into the night when they returned to Barrier 74 to inform the news.
When the news of the attack on the reinforcements at ledge 73 came back, all of Zhou’s troops were silent, and Old Li asked, “Since Qing passed the news to you a long time ago, why didn’t you deploy more troops?”
As a result, the officer of Zhou’s troops at the 74th ledge replied, “Originally, I wanted to mobilize more troops, but didn’t the 73rd ledge happen to be in trouble? Who could have thought of this, if it wasn’t for the incident at Barrier 73 with the fall of East Lake, the support troops would have already come over.”
Old Li suddenly fell silent, because this matter actually also had their rider involved, although only one person went, but after all, it was involved, so if you really want to strictly speaking, that day in Barrier 73, all of the ulterior motives, are the accomplices of this experimental body.
Of course, while Old Li would think this way, others would not. For example, Ren Xiaosu felt that this matter was made by Fire Seed and Ankyoji, and he had a fart relationship with him ……
Right at this midnight, it was already time to go to bed, but Zhou’s troops had pulled all of their soldiers to the fortifications, leaving only a small portion to rotate.
Qing’s intelligence to Zhou’s said that they were already having a headache when they were just facing a small few thousand experimental bodies, the strength of the skin muscles couldn’t even penetrate the bullets, it had to be a heavy machine gun.
But the other side is extremely fast, it is easy to drill into the dead center of your shooting field of vision, the reaction nerves of ordinary soldiers can not keep up with their movement.
When the speed and power is more than two or three times, on the battlefield, ordinary human troops will have a feeling of being crushed.
It was as if the ordinary human troops were pressed into slow play while the other side was at normal speed, fighting like this, even with hot weapons, you would have to lose a lot of money.
Although you can kill many experimental bodies, but people do not care about casualties, captured your barriers, directly use your residents to fill its losses!
Old Li glanced at Qin Sheng and said, “Originally, after you became a knight, you should have immediately gone to a certain market town for a year, and not be able to use your abilities, or even the wilderness survival abilities that I taught you, but now that it’s a time of crisis, you should first join me in assisting this Zhou in defending itself against foreign enemies.”
Qin Sheng nodded, he understood the importance of the situation.
At this time, there were not many people in the market town outside the barriers, even the stragglers had moved inside the barriers to build fortifications, this was the first time that the stragglers had entered the barriers I’m afraid, but they had also been put on an ankle bracelet that could be positioned.
When the war was over, these stragglers would still have to be taken out.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu was leading Fang Zhi and the others to quietly move towards the periphery of the construction site as he whispered, “Is there anything else of value on you?”
Fang Zhi nodded, “We’ve scraped together thirty thousand in cash, and five watches.”
As he spoke, Fangzhi’s face had a look of flesh pain on it, knowing that his own watch was very expensive, more than two hundred thousand dollars when he bought it.
As a result, Ren Xiaosu first exchanged his watch for a bunch of grain, that officer in charge of guarding the grain was about to burst into laughter, anyway, these snacks are not his own, they are Zhou’s barriers, why not be happy when you can take a little bit of grain and exchange it for a piece of watch?
The exchange of ten bags of grain, at least enough for all of them to eat half a month, but Ren Xiaosu did not load into the storage space to go, all let Fangzhi they carry ……
Immediately after, Ren Xiaosu took the remaining 30,000 cash and five watches, and asked the person in charge of guarding the construction site to let them go.
The officer in charge of guarding the construction site also exclusively said: don’t go out if you go home, if you are caught back again, there is nothing the gods can do.
There were more than two thousand people on the construction site where Ren Xiaosu and the others were located, and there were so many workers that they had no place to live and could only sleep on the ground.
So with ten or so people missing, no one would notice.
Fang Zhi walked out of the construction site feeling very unimaginable: ”This is coming out? This puts us out?”
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him, “I’m just arresting you to work, not lining up to be shot, there are so many people working, not a few of us, and the ones who are looking after the construction site are private forces, what kind of discipline can these private forces have to speak of?”
Various consortiums had been slowly downsizing their private forces in recent years, and it was possible that this monstrous existence would disappear in a few years.
According to what Zhang Jinglin said, in the beginning, the wall administrators were elected, the consortiums were not powerful at that time, and some administrators holding troops in their hands were even able to separate themselves from the consortiums.
Gradually, the consortium became more and more powerful, the position of the managers became weaker and weaker, and the private forces were just a piece of cloth for his managers, and as a result, they were also corrupted by the consortium with easily addictive cigarettes.
Nowadays, the consortium began to directly replace the manager, just like when Luo Lan didn’t have an official position in Barrier 113, but just secretly managed the entire barrier.
Now, the consortium on the other hand was taking over all the barriers openly and honestly, so there was no need for the private forces to exist.
Many of the officers of the private forces also realized this, they knew very well that the consortium wouldn’t want these losers of theirs, so it was better to just make a little bit of money and live the rest of their lives.
A group of people in the street sneak walking, from time to time also have to follow Ren Xiaosu to avoid the coming and going of the military vehicles, it is not easy to spend two hours before walking to Li Ran they stayed in the hotel, all the way Ren Xiaosu always feel that tonight something is not right, the barriers extraordinarily “lively” some, as if tonight is going to start a fight like.
After entering the hotel, Li Ran and others have been sitting in the hotel lobby, originally Li Ran was trying to go back to the room, the results of Zhou Yingxue insisted on sitting in the lobby, she said that Ren Xiaosu is not likely to stay too long in the construction site, maybe the day is dark on the escape.
As expected, Zhou Yingxue happily rushed over when she saw Ren Xiaosu, only to be smoked back by the sweaty odor of a group of people.
Li Ran pinched his nose: “You guys hurry up and take a shower.”
“Where else would I have the heart to take a bath,” Ren Xiaosu frowned, “Pack up your things, we have to leave the barriers tonight.”
“Why do we have to leave the barriers?” Li Ran exclaimed, “We’ve only just arrived, the concert hasn’t even been organized yet.”
Ren Xiaosu glanced at her, she really didn’t know the importance of the matter, when is it already time to hold a concert?
He said to Zhou Yingxue, “Use your ability to dig a tunnel or something outside the wall, we’ll use the tunnel to leave.”
“Tunnels?” Fangji was puzzled, “How wide a tunnel?”
“One person wide,” Ren Xiaosu looked at Fangji.
“Then what about our speakers and instruments,” Fangzhi exclaimed, “Those instruments, a trumpet can be a hundred thousand or so.”
These words all gave Ren Xiaosu said confused, musical instruments are so expensive.
The ten Wang Clan soldiers in civilian clothes next to him said, “I don’t think there’s any need for us to leave, even if the Qing Clan fights over, they won’t do anything to the residents of the Barrier, so let’s just stay in the hotel without fear. When the time comes, I’ll go and negotiate with them as a Wang Clan officer, they’ll definitely be willing to let us leave, after all, the Qing Clan won’t offend the Wang Clan after going to war with the Zhou Clan.”
