Eye of the Wasteland

Chapter 308 Move On
After a short rest in that stronghold for one night, Wu Yunhao and Ding Shiyang left a small team in the stronghold to take care of the wounded and at the same time receive follow-up reinforcements.

Next, they continued to lead the convoy towards Xinghe City.

On the road that is still blowing the cold wind, tanks and armored vehicles reloading ammunition are advancing with the roar of engines.

Whether it is an armed jeep or a transport truck, many soldiers of the guard army carefully look around the wasteland outside the car window, while holding the assault rifles in their hands tightly.

The driver was also observing the situation on both sides of the road, and was ready to step on the sudden brake at any time to let the guards carried in the car get off and start a defensive formation.

Even if they needed to withstand the icy cold wind, many machine gunners still wrapped in warm clothes and operated the vehicle-mounted machine guns and pointed towards the sides of the road.

This will indeed slow down the team's speed, but now the team has no other way to deal with it.

After traveling for most of the day, the distant skyline began to gradually dim, and the setting sun was slowly sinking into the horizon.

When Wu Yunhao was looking at the sunset in the distance, Ding Shiyang asked him to the side: "I think we need to find a place to rest."

"Now that we have entered the area where Xinghe City is located, it means that we may encounter the main force of the Zerg at any time."

"We either need to capture a survivor town or a homeless stronghold as a forward base, or we can only build a temporary camp in the wild."

"Supporting Xinghe City so brazenly, I'm afraid I might be surrounded by those damn Zerg."

Hearing Ding Shiyang's words, Wu Yunhao hesitated briefly, and then nodded to him.

Just the next moment, Wu Yunhao asked Ding Shiyang: "It's just that we are too far away from the nearest survivor town and homeless stronghold."

"The most important thing is that I am afraid that there may be Zerg troops in the survivor towns and homeless strongholds, and they may even build bug nests nearby."

Ding Shiyang signaled the guard soldier in the passenger seat to take out the map from the glove box, and handed it to himself.

Then, he unfolded the map in his hand towards Wu Yunhao, and then pointed to a marked location on the map: "I think we can consider capturing this homeless stronghold, the homeless stronghold in Donggu County."

"This location is an important traffic road. It not only leads to Xinghe City, but also leads to Jingdong City on the other side. As long as we can occupy this place, it will be very convenient to attack Jingdong City in the future."

Hearing what Ding Shiyang said, Wu Yunhao said to him: "It's just like what you said, this location is an important place for transportation."

"You know, I know, and the Zerg also know that if the Zerg who besieged Xinghe City are really defeated, they will definitely pass here if they want to meet Dongcheng."

"At that time, we will be the only obstacle in front of them. They will definitely kill us desperately, otherwise they will not be able to return to Jingdong City."

"Have you ever considered that a Zerg army that can besiege Xinghe City can be stopped by just us?"

"I know you may say that we still have reinforcements, but I'm worried that even if the reinforcements are all there, they may not be able to withstand the attack of these bugs."

But after hearing Wu Yunhao's words, Ding Shiyang said to him from another angle of the matter: "But here, we are defending, and the Zerg is attacking."

"If we really succeed in rescuing Xinghe City and let these Zergs return to Jingdong City, then the guards of Fuyuan City will attack at that time."

"Do you think it's easier for us to defend this homeless stronghold, or is it easier to attack Jingdong City, which is defended by the Zerg?"

When asked by Ding Shiyang, Wu Yunhao frowned and didn't know what to say. He didn't consider what Ding Shiyang was thinking.

Therefore, Wu Yunhao nodded to Ding Shiyang and said, "Okay, then I will listen to you. Let's go directly to the homeless stronghold in Donggu County."

Smiling and nodding to Wu Yunhao, Ding Shiyang signaled to the guard in the passenger seat to bring him a communicator, and through the communicator, he issued an order to the entire convoy to go to the homeless stronghold in Donggu County.

After another long journey, the convoy soon started heading towards the homeless stronghold in Donggu County along the highway.

Just as the sky was getting dark and the convoy was gradually approaching the homeless stronghold in Donggu County in the distance, Wu Yunhao who was sitting in the car could hear the sound from the distance.

Although the sound seemed to be very slight due to the icy cold wind and the distance, Wu Yunhao could really hear these small sounds.

This sound... seems to be gunshots and explosions?

Seeing this, Wu Yunhao hurriedly asked Ding Shiyang, "Did you hear anything?"

"What sound, I didn't hear any sound?"

Ding Shiyang first glanced curiously at Wu Yunhao beside him, and then looked vigilantly at the wasteland outside the car window: "Did you hear some noise, are there any bugs?"

Before Wu Yunhao could answer Ding Shiyang, a report from the guard soldiers on the armed jeep ahead came from the vehicle communicator.

"Commander Wu, Commander Ding, this is the first team of jeeps. We heard the sound of fighting coming from the front, which may be in the direction of the target stronghold."

At the same time, the voices of guard soldiers on other vehicles came from the communication channel: "The second jeep team also confirmed that they heard the sound of fighting, and one of them seems to be human."

"Commander Wu, Commander Ding, we may soon enter the war zone,"

"Do we need to stop?"

"The team is on standby, ready to fight at any time."

After a brief exchange of opinions with Ding Shiyang's eyes, Wu Yunhao took over the vehicle communicator and replied: "All vehicles stop immediately, and each team gets off the vehicle and forms a defensive formation."

Hearing Wu Yunhao's order, the convoy stopped advancing, and many soldiers of the guard army also got off the vehicle with Wu Yunhao and Ding Shiyang.

When many guard soldiers were on standby near the armed jeeps and transport trucks, Wu Yunhao and Ding Shiyang heard the sound of gunfire and explosions coming along with the cold wind in the distance.

Picking up the walkie-talkie, Wu Yunhao continued to order to all the soldiers of the guard army: "A team of armored vehicles, and then you lead the two teams of guard troops to move forward along the road."

"If you really find that there is a battle in the homeless stronghold in Donggu County, you must immediately report the information about the fighting in the stronghold."

"The rest of the team members continue to guard the convoy and wait for follow-up orders before acting."
