He asked Christos to find him dozens of smart bracelets and 1,500 long-range walkie-talkies.
The smart bracelets are mainly for use by battalion and company commanders, allowing He Ao to contact them from a great distance, while walkie-talkies are provided to every wilderness wanderer.
This thing is not rare. There are no densely packed signal base stations like in the city in the wilderness, and smart bracelets don't have internet access. This kind of walkie-talkie is standard equipment for wilderness wanderers who often go out hunting.
He Ao did not equip every wilderness wanderer with a smart bracelet because once the battle begins, the signal base station may not be able to be fully protected, and the bracelet's signal will become uncontrollable. Moreover, many wilderness wanderers have never used a bracelet before, which would waste a lot of learning time.
The long, narrow bus weaved through the rain.
An unusual silence fell over the vehicle.
Everyone was familiarizing themselves with their new weapons, and a faint sense of tension permeated the entire space.
"Chief, is it really possible that strange beasts will enter the city?"
Linda, sitting next to He Ao, asked softly.
She was the battalion commander of the first battalion and was to go with He Ao to the southwest gate.
The original few dozen people in the camp were dispersed by He Ao and assigned to various battalions as commanders, forming the basic command framework.
At Ronald's camp, because there were many people, there were actually small, organized hunter armies. Every wanderer had to participate, and the school also taught relevant military knowledge.
Therefore, the people at the Ronald camp do not need to relearn the relevant military operations; they already know them.
Although they didn't know much, their presence was enough to keep the entire Wilderness Wanderer army somewhat stable and prevent it from collapsing at the first blow.
They will most likely face not organized armies, but chaotic hordes of alien beasts.
"meeting."
He Ao turned his head to look at the raindrops that blurred the entire car window and said calmly.
······
9:30 a.m.
Everyone arrived at the planned location. It wasn't just the Wilderness Wanderer who arrived; there were also some gang members from the Money Rat Gang.
The three city gates of the south city are located in the Aston district: the southwest gate and the main south gate are in the Aston district, and the southeast gate is in the Kwes district, but it is also very close to the Aston district.
Here, no one knows the terrain better than these gang members.
He leaned against the low eaves, the sudden downpour obscuring his view.
The wilderness wanderers, draped in heavy raincoats, disembarked from the bus and, guided by members of the Money Rat Gang, searched for suitable locations to set up defenses.
He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the misty rain, looking at the towering city walls and the tightly closed city gates ahead.
Ainoan is a person who likes to lie.
He said he liked wilderness wanderers, but he didn't really like them in his heart.
While analyzing his video footage, He Ao discovered that whenever he overheard people discussing wilderness wanderers in relatively private settings, a fleeting look of disdain and disgust would cross his face.
'Liking' is just a mask he wears.
In fact, when He Ao was reviewing the files of the South City Defense Army, he saw a familiar name on the South City Defense Army's logistics supply list.
'Kel Manufacturing Company'.
That is, the factory that enslaved the wilderness wanderers, which is also connected to the military-grade products that Heo saw in the factory warehouse.
For about ten years, Kyle Manufacturing Company has been one of the suppliers of basic supplies to the South City Defense Force. Also about ten years ago, Kyle began enslaving wilderness wanderers to work for him.
According to the information Eve consulted, ten years ago, Kyle Manufacturing Company was just an unknown small company with a registered capital of only 100,000 federal dollars and not even a single valid transaction record.
This small company squeezed out the large conglomerate that originally supplied the South City Defense Army and became the army's supplier.
Moreover, judging from the procurement prices announced by the city defense forces, the prices for these basic supplies have increased, far exceeding those for daily necessities.
Kyle does indeed have '
'Big shot'.
The Federation separates military and government functions. Although the mayor of Dawn City is nominally the highest commander of the city's defense forces, in reality, successive mayors have had little say in the internal affairs of the city's defense forces.
Those who can control the suppliers must be people within the city defense forces.
A person who can be called a big shot by Calvin, the executive director of the Nord Group, is naturally no small figure; at the very least, he must be a commander of the North and South Cities.
And since this person could be held hostage by the Nord Consortium, it's impossible for an A-level legion commander to be held hostage. The chief of staff doesn't have the authority to get involved in such minute details as suppliers, and even if he did, he would likely get involved in both the Northern and Southern armies.
The commanders of the Northern Army could not interfere with the affairs of the Southern Army.
So the last remaining candidate for the 'big shot' behind Kyle is the Confederate commander, Enoch.
Starting about ten years ago, Ainoan began to gradually relax restrictions on wilderness wanderers, making it easier for them to enter the city.
The factory that enslaves the wanderers of the wilderness, ostensibly belongs to Kyle, but in reality to Enoch.
In order to increase the number of 'workers' and generate more 'profits' in his factory, Ainuan relaxed the restrictions on wilderness wanderers entering the city, allowing a large number of wilderness wanderers to enter the city.
This is not a big deal.
In fact, few people pay attention to how many wilderness wanderers enter the city, or how many disappear within it.
Of course, getting to this point is quite simple, but what had been troubling He Ao was another challenge.
Just then, a pair of dim lights approached from a distance.
A somewhat old, silver-gray pickup truck slowly pulled up in front of He Ao.
A young man wearing a large gold ring climbed out of the driver's seat, lifted the tarpaulin at the back of the truck, and a gleaming black heavy motorcycle came into He Ao's view.
It lay prostrate in the rain, like a wolf with its claws drawn, poised to pounce.

"Sir, this motorcycle is called Blood Wolf, and it was a gift from our boss, Victor, to you."
The young man with the gold ring looked at He Ao and said, "He specifically instructed last night that if you need a means of transportation, this car should be given to you."
This motorcycle was custom-made by a mechanic before the boss went to prison, and it hasn't been used since his release. It's brand new, equipped with an ultra-high-energy compressed battery, a top speed of 560 kilometers per hour, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just a few seconds.
The truck's intelligent loading arm slowly unloaded the motorcycle and placed it in front of He Ao.
"This car also has an extreme performance mode, which can reach a speed of 1250 kilometers per hour for a short time when activated."
The young man continued his explanation.
The speed of sound is approximately 1224 kilometers per hour, and a speed of 1250 kilometers per hour means that this motorcycle can reach supersonic speeds.
Mach 1 is roughly the standard top speed of the Seraph-type mechs deployed by the Federation, but most mech pilots can't reach Mach 1 in cities filled with skyscrapers, reaching a maximum of 300 to 400 kilometers per hour.
Heo stroked the smooth, mirror-like alloy shell of the motorcycle and looked at the young man, saying, "Thank Viktor for me."
"As long as you like it."
The young man climbed into the truck cab with a big smile on his face. "Then I'll be going now."
He Ao gently patted the motorcycle, connected it to the wristband, and brought up the instruction manual.
······
10:00 AM
The heavy rain continues
He Ao received a call from Christos, "There are suspected B-level alien beasts approaching, two of them, one at the northwest gate and the other at the east gate."
The Northeast Gate and the East Gate are the two gates furthest from the 'Radiant Palace,' the location of the Mayor of Dawn City's office.
The Palace of Radiance is located in the center of the Crown District, in the southwestern part of Dawn City.
The allocation of the city defense forces is actually quite interesting. The Northern Army has a higher status and stronger commanders, but it is farther away from the administrative center. The Southern Army has a lower status and generally weaker commanders, but it is closer to the administrative center.
At this moment, the strange beasts appeared at the northeast and east gates, so the commander of the Northern Army and the chief of staff who stayed in the city must rush to the front line to carry out defense.
He looked at the city gate through the rain.
He was currently at the southwest gate, the city gate closest to the Radiant Palace.
"There should be one at the southwest gate as well."
He Ao said softly.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
"What did the FBI say?"
Before Christos could speak, Heo asked softly.
The FBI field manager in Dawn City is a Class B officer.
Vian had previously researched relevant information and found that the FBI's branch chiefs in various fortified cities were generally at the C or B level.
In smaller cities, such as Kaya, the branch chief's competence is only at the C level.
In a megacity like Dawn City, the branch chief's strength is at level B, and his status is half a level higher than other branch chiefs. When necessary, he can mobilize the resources of the FBI in other cities.
"The FBI can't get involved in events inside Fortress City, and they have no evidence to take action against a commander who has served for many years, but I'm here to prevent the alien beasts..."
In the name of [the authorities], the director of the Chenxi City Bureau was asked to wait near the southwest gate.
Christos said slowly.
Although Christos is not yet the mayor of Dawn City, the FBI still has to give him face.
The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up the phone.
He looked up at the magnificent city gate.
Gang members, guns in hand, moved through the rain.
They are driving residents near the city gates toward the inner city, claiming they haven't paid protection money.
This reason seems absurd, but the people around seem to have gotten used to it.
Because a common tactic used by gangs to target people is that they treat those who haven't paid protection money as if they haven't. Whether you've paid or not, they just label you as someone who hasn't paid.
Many people were driven out by the gang members, cursing and swearing, and walked into the rain with their umbrellas.
They were unaware that these Money Rat gang members were actually protecting them.
