"shot."

Xiangzi said again.

"What about the Ye family?" Mu asked again.

"I will detain you by force." Xiangzi said, "If the Ye family comes, we will fight back. The same goes for Chuhua."

...Provoking so many enemies?

All in one breath?

Or have you been avoiding enemies with whom you have previously created conflict?

“…Hey, are you serious…?”

Miao Meng was speechless.

Chuhua, Hailing and Mu were all silent.

Xiangzi seemed to want to say something else.

However, her poor condition made it difficult for her to organize her words. She took short breaths.

"..."

The leader of the squad went crazy.

Do you want to execute the order?

What will the execution look like?

If it is not implemented, what should we do?

At this critical juncture, everyone fell into deep thought for a moment.

crunch.

In this silence, Chu Hua was the first to turn the seat of the vehicle.

She reached her hand under Xiangzi's sweat-soaked hair, grabbed Xiangzi's face and lifted his head up.

Perhaps the cyberpsychiatrist, who is now stuck in the trunk with the server, should be given another shot.

Xiangzi's inability to focus became even worse than before. She was almost in the middle of confusion and clarity of consciousness.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Chuhua asked this to Xiangzi, who was almost unsure whether he was still conscious.

"……I know."

Xiangzi said.

"Our lives are still in your hands."

Chu Hua said again.

"I know."

Xiangzi answered.

Chuhua took his hand off Xiangzi's face.

"I will follow your orders."

Chu Hua said.

She turned her seat back and reached for her gun.

"Let's go." said Hai Ling in the driver's seat.

crunch.

She released the handbrake of the [Columbus] cargo van.

"..."

Mu got in from the side of the van.

"...Hello, hello..."

Only Miao Meng was obviously still hesitating.

"Aren't you coming?" Hai Ling glanced at Miao Meng and said, "We have already stepped into a place where even God cannot save us. It doesn't really make any difference whether you believe in yourself, in God, or in cyberpsychosis."

"Damn it—you're right!"

Miao Meng also jumped into the car.

……

Slight shaking.

The car stopped.

Xiangzi gently exhaled the air in his lungs and pulled himself out of his memories.

Believers armed with submachine guns opened the car door.

The cold wind from outside blew into the car.

In the end, Ave Mujica chose to believe their cyber-psychotic leader.

It's hard to say whether this belief is correct...

Perhaps the inaccuracy is greater.

Because Xiangzi was indeed crazy at that time.

Under her command, Ave Mujica - especially in the first month - carried out many radical actions.

Attack, blast, rob.

Hurt and be hurt.

Ave Mujica led his team into [Phase 2 of Reclamation Land] in a tough manner, like a team of cyberpsychopaths leading other cyberpsychopaths.

They now have many enemies.

Much.

The situation of members with minor and serious injuries is not optimistic.

But belief brings at least two things.

Xiangzi's condition is becoming increasingly stable.

as well as……

Ave Mujica and her followers really took advantage of the turbulent times of [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land] with their violent behavior and gained a foothold in a corner of this new area full of the virus.

Xiangzi walked down from the [Galina "Rat"].

She raised her head in the cold wind.

She saw the gray, smooth, towering exterior walls.

Standing in front of Xiangzi is the hyperbolic cooling tower of the Chun No. 2 Power Station, which is over 100 meters high.

Chapter 312 Band Periphery

There was no white smoke coming out of the top of the cooling tower.

Due to the lack of methanol fuel, it has not been put into use yet.

Xiangzi walked towards the small door at the bottom of the cooling tower.

There were also two armed guards beside the small door. However, compared to the light machine guns [M2067 Defender] in their hands, the [three-phase infrared artificial eyes] installed on their heads that protruded from the skull were more impressive. Because from a distance, it looked like a cluster of small honeycombs were implanted in the face.

Xiangzi walked between the armed guards and entered the small door.

Take the simple elevator up, then diagonally down, and pass through several closed doors, and the circular bottom plane of the cooling tower is revealed in front of you.

The first thing you see is the huge pipe structure. The pipes, which are made up of water distribution pipes, splash devices, dewatering devices, embedded casings and fiberglass brackets, stretch in the center of the cooling tower where there is no water storage.

They certainly weren't put to work.

Under normal conditions, the cooling tower should be filled with splashing cooling water. But now, it looks like a dry swimming pool, with even the pumps and pipes exposed to the air.

The pipeline only occupies about 10% of the area at the center of the "swimming pool". On the contrary, the "pool bottom" area around it, which should be flat, is now covered with green polymer coating waterproof cloth.

Under the waterproof cloth, you can see blocks separated by prefabricated panels. In the blocks, there are beds, long tables, workbenches, mail receiving and sending stations and other living and working facilities.

This is where the members of Ave Mujica live.

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with a multi-section enclosed door structure. Most importantly, the cement-cast cooling tower has a natural ability to block external radio waves.

This unused cooling tower is where Ave Mujica currently stands.

At first, Xiangzi was a little hesitant about choosing a place to stay.

Because at that time, she didn't like buildings with water pipes very much.

However, after realizing that this was an ideal place to stay, she still had people build a settlement here.

As for the "believers" she brought with her, some guarded the weapons, gunpowder, and fuel and lived in other cooling towers, while others were distributed in a circular pattern and lived in nearby residential areas, responsible for monitoring the surrounding situation.

"(Come to think of it, it was the same when I chose the building to live in.)"

Xiangzi took the simple elevator to the bottom of the cooling tower. She walked forward through the road under the tarpaulin.

"(Chuhua, Hailing, and Miaomeng are in harmony and understand each other quickly.)"

The bed, receiving antenna, workbench, simple elevator for construction...all of these need to be built by yourself.

The materials had to be transported in from the top of a 100-meter-high cooling tower, and the self-built communication antenna also had to be connected to a 100-meter-long wire.

Because they didn't want to use a large crane to attract attention, all of this was done by Chuhua and Hailing leading the [believers]. Mu adjusted the construction plan many times, and Miaomeng also scratched his head because of the debugging problem of the long line.

Xiangzi did not choose an ordinary, already built house to settle down, which increased the workload for everyone in the first month. At that time, Xiangzi's mental state was not even stable. She would propose very radical plans, but many details could only be left to the four of them to think about.

But the four people under Xiangzi had no doubts or complaints.

"..."

Xiangzi walked along the road.

Xiangzi would not thank you for such a thing.

Saying thank you is just a pale courtesy.

She needs loyal followers, and they need hope. It is a relationship of supply and demand between them.

These things happen naturally.

All she had to do was move forward.

Even if I go crazy or die, I must reach the top.

...with those who followed her.

Xixisuosuo.

There were sounds of people moving around and slightly muffled voices coming from the front.
