Aurora Soldiers

Chapter 132 Emptiness

"Mayor Xia, how is Master Rongde's situation?"

Back in the courtyard, a group of people gathered around the people who had just sent Master Rongde into the back room and asked.

The leader was a tall and thin middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and a gentle and steady appearance.

This person is the top person in charge of this survivor base, former deputy mayor of Qingshui City Xia Bingzhang.

"Master Rongde is very weak, but his life is not in danger for the time being. He needs to rest peacefully. Everyone, please come back with me to discuss the matter."

Mayor Xia said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, everyone relaxed slightly, felt relieved, and returned to the room.

Taking advantage of the hilly and mountainous terrain in the northern region, many survivors in QY City fled into the mountains and forests to survive after the disaster struck.

Under the leadership of several former urban high-level officials, everyone gathered survivors in the mountains and forests. There are now more survivors in the stronghold than in the He'an Resort base area, with more than 35,000 people.

And it is foreseeable that there are more scattered survivors in the vast mountains and forests in the north.

Compared to Guangjiang City, Qingshui City undoubtedly has a better geographical advantage against monsters.

But now, everyone in the base area no longer has the energy to search for more survivors. Even the survivors who follow the traces every day have become a burden.

When everyone fled into the mountains and forests, they were in a hurry and did not have time to carry too much supplies. Being in a mountainous area, the supplies that could be collected were also quite limited. In addition, the city was controlled by monsters, and supplies were searched and gathered on a large scale. Their small force can only collect supplies in the suburbs and villages. Not to mention the limited quantity, and it is difficult to transport them into the mountains and forests on a large scale, making their supply reserves gradually stretched.

In addition, the monsters have recently begun to station troops and move northward, organizing mountain search operations, which has made the situation in the stronghold take a turn for the worse and become more difficult.

“What exactly does Master Rongde’s ‘Hope is in the South’ mean?”

A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes said with a frown. He was wearing a set of military protective gear and was the leader of the Qingshui City Armed Police Detachment Ding Dafeng.

"Hope is in the south. Does this mean we should evacuate to the south?"

A tall young man with phoenix eyes and sharp eyebrows said next to him. He was carrying an eight-sided Han sword on his back. Even the hilt of the sword was completely covered with blood spots and was scarlet.

"I don't know, Master, this is too much of a Riddler."

Next to this young man, a petite young woman with a flat chest but a vigorous appearance said helplessly. She had two daggers on her waist, both of which were also covered in blood spots.

"Don't be surprised, everyone. Master Rongde probably didn't want to explain it clearly. I'm afraid he couldn't explain it clearly at all. When he told us the location of the dark green spar, he said something after he woke up after being struck by lightning. Is there a treasure underground in the east and north of the lake?"

A bald young monk spoke. He was strong and handsome. He was holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and twisting them constantly. The string of Buddhist beads were all covered with blood spots and were scarlet, which was different from his kind and handsome face. There was a strange sense of disharmony on his face.

"We shouldn't be asked to evacuate to the south. There are so many of us. It is impossible to escape the monsters if we leave the mountains and forests. Perhaps the master means that we send troops to raid the south of Qingshui City? Now the monsters are stationed in the north and are preparing to search the mountains on a large scale. The troops must be empty, maybe if we give it a try, we can force the monster troops to retreat south, giving us room to survive?"

Another man wearing military protective gear and with a face as resolute as a knife spoke. Behind him was a long gun with at least 170 units of blood spots on the gun.

These four people are the representatives of the strongest combat power in the base area.

"The South. The concept of the South is too broad."

Someone said with a sigh.

Despite this, no one dares to ignore Master Rongde's words.

Because not long ago, after this respected old monk who had been practicing Qing Dynasty all his life was hit by purple lightning in a sudden change in the sky and survived, something strange happened.

The first time he woke up, he said that there was a treasure underground in the north of the east pond. Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, he insisted on taking a few young apprentices to dig in the north of a pond in the east despite the heavy rain. How could everyone persuade them? He didn't listen. Just when everyone thought he had mental problems due to the electric shock, the master brought back the dark green stone.

After preliminary research by researchers in the base, this thing has a certain degree of instability, and shows the characteristics of releasing energy when it encounters flames generated by the collision of vitality.

This surprised the researchers, and they immediately began corresponding research, believing that if the corresponding laws of this stone were thoroughly studied, it would be possible to create a creation similar to the effect of gunpowder in the old era.

Everyone understands the importance of this kind of thing.

Everyone asked Master Rongde, and he said that after surviving being hit by purple lightning, he seemed to have a special ability that could always produce some strange premonitions.

Then everyone followed his hunch and discovered several electric berries in the mountains to the west, and an edible mutant fruit tree in the woods to the north, which relieved the food pressure to a certain extent.

But after each "premonition", Master Rongde's health deteriorated, and his health condition went from bad to worse. This time he had a premonition that everyone's hope lay in the south, and he became skin and bones in just one day. Now whether he can survive Down is still unknown.

Everyone had to pay attention to the master's "premonition" that almost cost him his life and could not be explained scientifically.

"All in all, our strategic focus should indeed be on the south. Immediately send a reconnaissance team to explore south, to Guangjiang City? There may be something discovered there."

"However, it is unrealistic to expect cross-regional rescue. We must save ourselves. Captain Lin is right. The monster is now preparing to search the mountains and station troops in the north. The southern region is empty of troops. If we can disrupt the situation in the southern region, we can then send troops to capture the southern part of the mountain forest. With a few granaries occupied by monsters as logistics points, the crisis we are facing can be greatly alleviated."

Captain Ding Dafeng said in a deep voice.

"Let's do it this way. First send people to the south of the city to find out the monster enemy situation, and then we will make plans to take action." Mayor Xia said in a deep voice.

Everyone was slightly silent.

This is undoubtedly a risky move.

It is too difficult to send a large number of people into the city without being noticed by the monsters. And if it is only a small force, how can the southern monsters disrupt the situation even if they are empty of troops?

Once they are surrounded by monsters, or even ambushed by new monsters, they are in danger of being annihilated.

Even the four strongest people in their base are only humans after all!

Manpower is sometimes poor!

Even if they could disrupt the situation in the city, it was hard to say whether they could capture the granary.

It serves as a supply point for monsters heading north, but it is heavily guarded by monsters.

This is a difficult plan.

But now in this situation, we have to give it a try.

On the other side, Zhang Chengguang and his party sneaked all the way, passing several villages along the way, and found small nests in them, but they did not take action.

According to the plan, before they arrived in Qingshui City and entered the urban area, they needed to hide their whereabouts as much as possible and try not to attack the monsters along the way.

The reason for this is to minimize the risk of exposing the base area.

As long as they don't take action along the way and leave too many traces, even if they cause trouble in Qingshui City, it will be difficult for the monsters there to connect them with Guangjiang City in the first place, which will greatly weaken the relationship between both parties. It is possible that the monsters in the urban area will contact each other and join forces to attack the Haansan base area.

The twelve people were all the best among the best, and they did not get entangled with monsters along the way. They rode their bicycles along the expressway and traveled very quickly. They arrived at the southern suburbs of Qingshui City in the middle of the night.

On the way, Ma Lijun, as the guide, learned the true goal of the operation.

During the conversation at that time, in order to keep confidentiality, Colonel Luo did not disclose the specific target of the operation to him. He only explained that it was related to Qingshui City and emphasized the danger involved.

Until the time of departure, he thought it was just an operation from the base to contact the survivors in Qingshui City. However, when he set out, he saw Zhang Chengguang, the most important combat force in the base, personally leading the team, and he realized that this operation was unusual.

On the way forward, he was informed of the specific plan.

After hearing the plan, others were a little confused.

This group of more than a dozen people was not going to Qingshui City to contact survivors, but to carry out hunting operations in Qingshui City. The targets were medium-sized brood nests and newborn monsters. Small brood nests were only secondary targets!

The high-level officials in the base area are really crazy. Aren't they worried that important combat forces will leave, and if the plan is leaked, it will immediately trigger an attack by monsters in Guangjiang City?

Moreover, there are only a dozen people, can they really achieve the planned goals?

However, he had already boarded the pirate ship and could not regret it. He had no choice but to go to the dark side.

Under the guidance of Ma Lijun, everyone sneaked into the urban area from the southern suburbs of Qingshui City, and found that the monster defense in the southern part of Qingshui City was much laxer than the monster defense in Guangjiang City!

The number of monsters is not large, and the quality is not very strong. A few people discovered a medium-sized nest in the city, with only about a hundred monsters guarding it.

Among them, there are less than twenty evolved monsters, about thirty special monsters, and the rest are all ordinary bone swordsmen!

"Zhuo, the monster defense in Qingshui City is so empty? The medium-sized brood nest only has this defense force? How about we take action to capture a brood nest first?"

Xie Qian looked at the medium-sized nest in the distance through the telescope and clicked his tongue.

If in Guangjiang City, the number of standing guards for a medium-sized brood nest would be at least fifty evolved forms, and the starting number of special monsters would be at least fifty, and there would be hundreds of ordinary bone swordsmen, and the troop situation in the surrounding area is complicated. , once there is a commotion there will be monster reinforcements soon.

And after their troubles, the defense situation in the city became tighter.

Others couldn't help but nodded when they saw this.

They didn't know that this was the result of the monsters gathering troops to move north. The monsters would never have thought that under this situation and situation, there would be strong humans crossing the city to attack their territory.

Only Ma Lijun on the side was dumbfounded when he heard Xie Qian's words. He had never been to the urban area of ​​Guangjiang City and didn't know what was going on there, but the situation of the monsters in the nest in front of him seemed to be consistent with the lack of troops. Side right?

There are hundreds of monsters, and there are only a dozen of them. They actually say that the monster force is empty? !

"It's better not to do anything yet."

At this moment, Zhang Chengguang on the side spoke.

As expected, Captain Zhang acted cautiously.

Ma Lijun nodded slightly when he heard this, and then he heard Zhang Chengguang continue: "It's almost dawn now. It's hard for us to move during the day. If we capture a nest, it will soon attract the attention of monsters, which will affect our future. We will not start our hunting plan tonight. We will first explore the situation in various parts of the city and select good targets. If the defense strength of the medium-sized brood nests everywhere is as strong as this, we will work together tonight to kill a few more and wipe out a few more in Qingshui City. The situation is completely muddled.”

"."

Ma Lijun opened his mouth when he heard this.

It turns out that Captain Zhang didn’t think the operation was too dangerous, but that it was not cost-effective to destroy only one brood nest, which was too small? !

Ma Lijun felt that he and this group of people seemed not to be on the same page at all.
