You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 357 The fortress fell!

East A111 Fortress, the fortress that the refugees planned to attack at dawn.

At this moment, the powerful people in the fortress were in chaos, and only the garrison chief remained calm.

He sat high up in the main seat of the garrison's meeting hall, rubbing his brow with two fingers. The chaotic scene below gave him a headache.

The refugees' actions were not like those of a regular army, and it only took the fortress a short time to figure out the situation of the refugee army.

There are about 10,000 to 20,000 people, and many of them are capable.

It is rumored that they also captured the garrisons of other fortresses, and wherever they went, it was like a swarm of locusts, leaving no grass behind.

The big merchants and heads of various departments in the fortress were very troubled by this, because they were the first ones the refugees wanted to rob.

At first, some people thought of transferring supplies and people to a nearby fortress before the refugees attacked.

But coincidentally, the refugees thought so too.

As a result, the people who were lying in ambush at various intersections outside the fortress reaped the benefits in advance.

This made the people in the fortress even more nervous. Almost every night, the powerful people in the fortress would run to the garrison.

In fact, they can't come up with any specific solutions, they just want to feel at ease.

When they had almost finished arguing, the garrison commander coughed twice, and the conference room instantly became quiet.

"Everyone," the garrison commander's voice was powerful and resonant. He stood over two meters tall, his body bulging with muscle. He was also fairly fair to the people of the fortress, so many people trusted him.

More importantly, this garrison commander possesses impressive martial arts skills. Two years ago, it was rumored that he could be promoted to A-level at any time, and it is estimated that he has already been promoted.

"Our walls are tall and strong, and we have ample supplies, including some fire-generating weapons." The garrison commander spoke calmly and confidently.
"So, we don't have to be afraid of those refugees at all."

Everyone below looked at the garrison commander with sharp eyes. The middle-aged businessman in the lead took a step forward. He was one of the financial backers of the entire fortress. Due to his work, he often dealt with refugees.

Knowing that they were a group of hungry wolves, they usually brought a team with them when purchasing supplies from the refugees.

Because you are outnumbered, the refugees will look at you with a green light.

When the weather is warmer, they can still speak a few human words and be a little polite. But if the temperature drops sharply and they can't find food, they will immediately transform into wild beasts. Even if they know they can't win, they are willing to risk their lives to fish in troubled waters and get some food.

"Master Garrison Commander," the middle-aged merchant asked, each word carefully. "In other words, do you believe the fortress is absolutely safe?"

The garrison commander's eyebrows were wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川". He had a rather dignified look to begin with, but now his face darkened, and the people below couldn't help but become nervous.

"I've said this many times, I'll say it again for the last time!"

The garrison commander said, "War! There are no absolutes! Anything can happen. If you want to ask, I'll tell you directly: the fortress is not absolutely safe!"

After he finished speaking, the people below were stunned, and from time to time there were whispers of discussion. The middle-aged businessman's face flickered with hesitation.

Then, the garrison commander continued:

"But! As long as I'm here for one day! One hour! Even one minute! I will never let those refugees invade my people!
“I will steadfastly defend my fortress until I am no longer here!
"Right now, there's no place safer than here. You can go there!"

After the garrison commander finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet again. The middle-aged businessman bowed deeply and said:

“I feel relieved after hearing what you said.

“As long as you are here, our Chamber of Commerce will also fully support the fortress defense work.

"We will provide people and supplies when needed, and we will not shirk our responsibilities!"

These were all nice words; in reality, defending the fortress meant defending their supplies. However, the supplies consumed in the defense could be recovered from the fortress and the people; if they were robbed, then everything would be lost.

"In that case—" The garrison commander scanned the area with his eagle eyes, "Everyone, go back to your duties. We'll celebrate together after this is over!"

The people below chatted for a few more words, and after the garrison commander left, they all dispersed. Judging from their expressions, everyone seemed much calmer than when they arrived.

Often, facing the same thing, having confidence and not having confidence are two completely different things. After his impassioned speech, the garrison commander returned to his residence. His wife, the daughter of a nobleman from the bunker, had been waiting for him in the room for a long time.

"Da Pan, the bath water is ready." His wife helped him take off his garrison captain's uniform.

The garrison commander was named Pan Boxing. His wife had known him since they were very young, and when no one was around, she would call him Da Pan.

"Let's not wash yet." Pan Boxing pulled his wife over and said, "Come with me and leave the fortress."

"Ah?" The wife was stunned.

Pan Boxing was a B-level ability user many years ago, so it would be no problem for him to escape.

"But didn't you say—" The wife was also frightened: "You will always hold the fortress?"

"I mean, as long as I'm here, I'll defend the fortress." Pan Boxing said as he changed into civilian clothes.
"But if I leave and am no longer here, how can I hold on?"

This confused his wife. After saying "but" for a long time, she disguised herself and changed her clothes and retreated with him.

It’s not that he didn’t want to notify the people in the fortress to leave together, but with the fortress as a big piece of fat meat to attract firepower, his escape would be safe.

On the other side, an abandoned city and temporary residences.

After listening to the three distressed garrison commanders, Chi Ping made arrangements immediately.

Have the three garrison commanders go to East A111 Fortress and inform the local garrison commander to prepare for defense. Then have Xiaoyun take her group of beasts and have a good chat with the refugees.

If they could be given some food to fill their stomachs and allowed to evacuate, that would be the best. After all, among the 10,000 or 20,000 refugees, there must be many who are driven by hunger.

If the refugees don't agree, let Xiaoyun handle it on his own.

Chi Ping Hoba, the Emperor and the Two-Faced Turtle continued to move towards the bunker.

Wait until Xiaoyun finishes dealing with things here, then come and meet him.

"Is there any problem?" After Chi Ping made the arrangements, he asked Xiaoyun.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine," Xiaoyun said. After the giant sandworm was disintegrated by the Reformer, she still had two A-level beasts.

If we directly carry out a decapitation operation against the refugees' high-ranking leaders, there shouldn't be any problem.

Immediately, Xiaoyun handed a hairless rat with a mouth on its back to Chi Ping. After they separated, the two sides used this to communicate.

That night, Xiaoyun and the three trapped garrison commanders each went their separate ways.

The next morning, Ikehira, who had slept in, continued to head towards the bunker with Hoba, the Emperor, and the two-faced turtle.

When passing by the East A111 Fortress, I didn't hear any shouting or dense gunfire. I thought Xiaoyun was quite reliable and had gotten the job done.

At noon, when everyone stopped to eat, the hairless rat that Xiaoyun had left behind began to speak from its mouth on its back:

"Mr. Chi, there was an accident."

It was Xiaoyun's voice. Chi Ping was stunned and continued listening.

"I subdued the refugees, but the fortress was also breached."

Ok?
Chi Ping felt something was wrong. Since the refugees were subdued, why was the fortress breached?

"The situation is a bit complicated. Could you please come over here for a moment? I'll ask Big Bird to pick you up."

There was a deep sense of helplessness in Xiaoyun's voice.

Then Chi Ping heard a bird cry and saw a vulture circling in the sky.
