Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Many cannon fodders had just entered the underground base. When they entered the tunnel, they suddenly felt the tunnel vibrate violently. Then they saw the two heavy gates in front and behind suddenly fall down. Then anesthetic gas sprayed out from all directions. In an instant, it filled this small enclosed space.

Trapped in this dark and enclosed space, they rushed to the gate in panic and slammed it, trying to get out. But how could such a heavy door be opened so easily? Someone used a killer move, his hands turned into electric saws and spun rapidly, cutting the iron door, causing a lot of sparks, but only leaving shallow marks for a while.

The sound of the door being attacked could be heard from outside. However, the unprepared vanguard could not pry open the door in a short time. At this time, the anesthetic gas had already filled the entire space. It was impossible to hold your breath for so long. Moreover, the gas itself did not have much smell. What made them panic was the sudden closure of the door. By the time someone realized that there was something wrong with the air, most of them had already been infected.

As many soldiers collapsed to the ground, a door on the side that was so well hidden that it was almost invisible opened. Then a large number of fully armed soldiers rushed out. They were wearing small power armors. The breathing masks on their heads could help them isolate the anesthetic gas. At the same time, the night vision goggles at the position of their eyes could also allow them to see clearly in the dark underground.

In just a moment, those soldiers who still had the ability to resist were knocked down by them, and then everyone was dragged into Yongdao and the gate was closed.

All the people in this section of Yongdao were captured alive. The location of the secret door was very hidden. After the people were captured, there was a master who was good at controlling metal. The metal that controlled the door was directly integrated with the walls on both sides. Even if you touch it with your hands, you can't feel any uneven marks. So even if someone broke into this section of the tunnel, they couldn't figure out where the people who were locked in the tunnel before went.

The captured people will be stripped of all Dao Marks on their bodies. Although the strength of the cannon fodder is generally not very good, the transfer of Dao Marks from the strongest one or two of them can still help the overall strength of the underground base.

In addition, the status of these prisoners in the coalition forces is probably not very high, and some of them are even cannon fodder slaves who were forced to be captured on the battlefield. These people are all targets that can be won over. In theory, after a period of labor reform and education, these people may be integrated into the underground base.

This is why after the gates are closed, anesthetic gas is released, not poison gas or something more terrible. Theoretically, if both sides can be closed, the roof of the corridor can be crushed directly. Thousands of tons of boulders fall from the sky and crush down. It is absolutely catastrophic for the people inside. If the hydraulic press with mechanical power is used for further crushing, everyone inside will be crushed into meat paste.

It was because of the consideration that there were people who could be absorbed among the cannon fodder, and the proportion should be not small, that relatively mild measures were adopted.

The attacks in many places have suffered serious setbacks. It turns out that the people in the underground base are more difficult to retreat underground than when they were defending the city wall. They are reluctant to retreat, probably because they are too passive in the underground defense. It is very difficult to break out of the siege.

But only they themselves were familiar with the environment of this underground base, where there were secret passages and mechanisms. As intruders, they could only rely on their own lives to explore it little by little.

Even if there are experts among them who are good at perception and can predict whether there is an ambush in Yongdao in advance, this judgment may not be accurate. In this world, there are experts in reconnaissance, so there are naturally anti-reconnaissance techniques. They can use killing moves to disguise, so that some mechanisms look no different from ordinary rock walls in the eyes of reconnaissance experts.

So the team that entered the exploration encountered poison gas, flying needles from a mysterious place, or infrasonic bombs.

A large number of highly effective non-lethal weapons were used. A large number of people were captured alive. So far, the coalition forces have not made much progress in the underground base. They have basically only advanced a few hundred meters. Considering that these corridors are winding and not straight, the distance they have advanced during this period is not really far. They are not even sure whether the distance they have advanced is actually under their control.

Because some people were worried that a door would suddenly open in the place that looked like a wall behind them, and then a large number of soldiers from the underground base would rush out of the door and trap them while they were deep inside.

In the maze-like underground base, the commander can clearly see the location of every enemy. Although electronic technology is not particularly advanced and it is still quite difficult to manufacture chips, surveillance cameras with not so clear image quality can still be made.

The cameras were disguised as various objects and hidden in every corner. They secretly watched the enemies entering the corridor. This was almost equivalent to opening the full map view. And these surveillance cameras were quite difficult for the enemy's scouts to find. Because this thing was pure mechanical technology. It did not contain extraordinary power. In the eyes of the investigators, this kind of thing was the same as ordinary rocks and plants. It was very difficult to distinguish them from the vast number of perceived substances. Unless you knew in advance that there must be surveillance cameras in the environment you were in, you could check them carefully bit by bit. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find them. At this time, there was no need for the investigators to check carefully. Others could find them together by groping on the walls or various places.

The coalition forces were advancing very slowly. The most anxious person at this time was actually the current coalition commander. Dongfang Yuliang felt more and more clearly that he didn't have much time left. If he didn't resolve the battle and get the reward, he would probably be killed by the angry Black Loulan. But then again, he was the calmest one among all of them. He stopped those masters above the fourth level who were ready to go into battle. It was not the time for these people to go into battle. On the one hand, they were needed to hold the line. To boost morale, on the other hand, they still had to use the cannon fodder to explore and draw a map of the underground base as much as possible.

With such a map, we can avoid underground risks as much as possible. If we send out experts at the beginning, the enemy may spare no effort to deal with them, and we may be ambushed by the enemy in an unfamiliar situation, resulting in heavy losses. In the process of launching the attack, the coalition forces saw more and more traps in the underground base. These traps are often very hidden and usually not fatal. But they are enough to make them lose their combat effectiveness in a short period of time and then be captured.

After losing tens of thousands of cannon fodders, they seemed to have figured out a pattern. If it was a team led by a senior family leader, it would be likely to be hit by lethal weapons, while the cannon fodder team would be attacked more gently. Using these people for reconnaissance would be more efficient. Because under the attack of non-lethal weapons, occasionally some people would be able to escape and describe their experiences in the tunnel, thus drawing a map of the underground. After discovering this, Dongfang Yuliang was thoughtful.

Then he called the rulers of the major families and began to discuss the next plan with them. This characteristic of the enemy, combined with the confessions provided by the enemies they had captured in the previous battle, made him conceive a cruel and efficient plan. This plan could be used to cause heavy damage to the underground base in a short period of time and force them to come out and fight him.

"I think you have already discovered that these people in the underground base care a lot about the lives of ordinary people, especially those at the bottom of society. When facing these people, they use non-lethal weapons, but when facing us, they use whatever is powerful and whatever is powerful. From the perspective of these people's thinking, they also advocate equality for all and rely on the power of cooperation to fight against natural disasters and man-made disasters. Since they have such a thought, I think they must have united with such a thought. War often emphasizes conquering the heart.

I think this is our best chance to defeat the enemy without fighting. We will attack them based on the idea that unites them.

Since they believe that we should unite all forces that can be united and let the vast majority of the lower classes unite to overthrow us, then we might as well send people to them. Although the vast Beiyuan is sparsely populated compared to other regions, there are still many small tribes with hundreds or thousands of people. I think there are many such small tribes in the territories of various families. Adding up, there may be tens of billions of people.

You can contact your tribes as soon as possible. Contact your families and capture these people. Send them all to the underground base. I don't need these people to scout for us, I just need them all to go in. Stuff them all in, and those who refuse to go in will be killed directly.

If they can find out enough intelligence for us, that's good. If they can't find out anything, it doesn't matter. Because these people will eventually be taken in by the people in the underground base. The more people we send, the more people they need to feed. They may be able to feed tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of people. But when we send tens of millions of people, let alone feeding them, whether their underground base can accommodate them is another matter.

Even if we don't send these people in, most of them will die in the blizzard that occurs once every ten years. It's better to use them here to help us wear down the people in the underground base. Don't worry that they won't take these people in. As long as they are driven out of the underground base, we will kill them all in front of them at the entrance of the underground base.

The people in the underground base rely on the power of uniting the lower classes. They are united by the idea of ​​uniting the slaves of the whole world. If they betray their own ideas, they will have problems. When the internal strife breaks out, the underground base will naturally fall apart. If they do not violate their own ideas, they will accept as many refugees as we send. In a few days, they will be unable to accommodate them. In a few days, their stockpiled materials will begin to run short. At that time, I want to see what they can use to defend themselves. Rely on this mob we sent?"

……

Lan Nuo glanced at yesterday's battle report. He breathed a sigh of relief. In yesterday's tunnel battle, only a few dozen people from the underground base were killed, and not many were injured. However, tens of thousands of enemies were killed or captured. If this level of casualties continues for a few days, the enemy's morale will definitely collapse. If we continue to resist like this, we will definitely win. In addition, we captured a large number of enemies yesterday. We are getting stronger and stronger, while the enemy is getting weaker and weaker. Even if we encounter some strange and bizarre methods, we should be able to deal with them with our increasingly strong hard power.

Just when he thought that as long as the immortal didn't show up, all the troubles could be dealt with, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the General Staff in panic. The messenger's forehead was full of sweat, and he said breathlessly: "Something happened. The hidden surveillance camera we buried captured it. A large number of refugees have entered our underground base. They are in the tunnels. According to our detection scale, there are probably millions of them, all unarmed refugees. What should we do? Accept them all? How can we identify whether there are enemy spies among these people?"

After this news was reported to the General Staff, sweat started to flow down everyone's forehead. There is no fool who can sneak into the General Staff. This plan itself is not complicated or brilliant. There are not many twists and turns. So soon everyone figured out what this meant. They couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Lan Nuo.

At this moment, everyone is facing a life-and-death decision. Taking in refugees means that all the supplies they have stored may be insufficient, and even air may be insufficient in the future. If they give up taking in refugees and order to defend the base, they may still have a chance of survival. At least a considerable number of people in the underground base should be able to survive, but what about the refugees who are driven out? Can they survive the coming blizzard? Originally, when they were in their own tribe, they might be able to rely on the experience of their ancestors and hide in the cold-resistant places for generations. If 60 to 70% of them are killed or injured, the rest may be able to survive. But now they are unarmed and have nothing. If they are not taken in, they will surely die when the cold winter comes.
