Chapter 1006 The calm before the storm (two-in-one chapter)
After opening his eyes, Hu Biao looked at Zhu Xiulian, who was still clinging to him with her hands and feet like an octopus even after falling asleep, fearing that she would run away.
With an unconscious forced smile on his face, Hu Biao couldn't help but feel sorry for this strong girl.
Because during the daytime on weekdays, Zhu Xiulian always behaves very strong in front of others.
Even whenever I had free time, I would ask Hu Biao, Bai Xiang, Lang Qing and others for advice on how to use various firearms, weapons, and some practical knowledge on combat.
As long as conditions permit, they will also shoot directly to practice shooting.
The weapons used are not 191 precision rifles, or Type 95 weapons that use 5.8 mm small-caliber bullets and have relatively small recoil.
Instead, it uses 7.62*51 caliber bullets and the export version of the 81-bar with quite powerful recoil.
Of course, a qualified warrior cannot be successfully trained in such a short time and in such a simple way.
But this is an attitude that wants to grow up quickly and not become a burden to the team.
Zhu Xiulian, an unmarried young woman, was looked down upon by everyone in the Zhongzhou team; she was not just an old friend with Hu Biao, a commander who fought hard on the street, and obviously had some stories.
If after this mission, some official members of the team quit.
It is possible for Zhu Xiulian to become a full-time employee.
The problem is that Zhu Xiulian has received unanimous praise from team members for her good attitude.
Only when Hu Biao was alone with her every night did he realize that in the current terrifying world of missions, this girl Zhu Xiulian was actually very frightened.
Especially after falling asleep like this, he was obsessed with Hu Biao.
It clearly shows that this female accountant at the construction site, the "Da Bolian" who is remembered by countless singles, is just holding on through gritted teeth.
Don't look at her during the day's training, no matter how hard she is, she never says tired.
But Hu Biao had clearly seen that when she was alone, this girl was just holding the bowl and chopsticks, and her hands were shaking so much that it was quite difficult to eat.
Those are all instinctive reactions after serious strain on the muscles of both hands and shoulders.
As the old saying goes, a couple's favor lasts for a hundred days; and if one seriously calculated the relationship between Hu Biao and Zhu Xiulian, one would not even know how many days of favor there would be.
Therefore, Hu Biao naturally planned to take good care of Da Bolian so that he would not have to participate in front-line operations. He would just follow the black Chinese medicine doctor and Lao Qi to do some nursing work and be responsible for taking care of the numbers.
But even so, Zhu Xiulian was learning nursing, surgical assistance and other knowledge from King Kong.
Whenever I have free time, I will practice shooting and some simple tactical movements; a pretty girl with a peach*butt sticking out, holding a gun in her hand, crawling around on the ground.
In her words, she accepted Hu Biao's wishes.
I also believe that Hu Biao can take good care of him, but what if he encounters a time when no one can care about her?
After hearing such a statement, Hu Biao was a little speechless. Who knows how difficult the battle will be in the system mission.
After some calculations, he found out that the only thing he could do was to use some alcohol every night to give this strong girl a good massage.
It can achieve the purpose of relaxing muscles and activating collaterals, activating blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis, and recovering as soon as possible.
There is nothing wrong with Hu Biao's approach.
The only problem is that massage can only achieve sufficient results if you use enough force on your hands when performing massage, and Hu Biao is not lacking in strength at all.
Therefore, in the dead of night, when Hu Biao and Zhu Xiulian were alone, the screams of the lesbian Da Bolian would be heard far away in the night.
So much so that the next day, all the animals in the Zhongzhou team looked at Hu Biao with a bit of contempt.
As for the other female natives who had taken refuge with them, their eyes were strange, containing expectations, fears, eagerness to try, etc.
Damn it! Faced with such a situation, Hu Biao was extremely depressed.
If he really did something, he would admit it; but Zhu Xiulian is in such a situation, and if he does anything else, it will be a bit unjustifiable for others, right?
But he also knows that this kind of thing is getting darker and darker.
So when there is no explanation at all, it makes me even more depressed...
With extremely careful movements, he broke away from Zhu Xiulian's body entanglement, and carefully covered the opponent's body with a military coat.
Then, Hu Biao moved his hands as gently as possible and quietly walked out of Fortress No. 2.
After walking out of the underground floor, which was considered the safest, I walked all the way upstairs to a single room.
During this process, there was no trace of sleepiness on Hu Biao's face; even though the time now was actually already past 2 o'clock in the morning.
And today’s time is already past 2 o’clock in the morning on October 14th.
Hu Biao and his party arrived here on the afternoon of the 12th, which means that more than a day has passed.
In the words of the natives, they encountered rare good luck this time. They actually did not encounter any attack from the orcs for more than a day.
Even the kind of orc soldiers who come to check the sentry and make sneak attacks almost every night, if tonight is included, has not happened for two consecutive days.
For such a rare result, all the indigenous people were extremely happy.
You know! Orc warriors who go out alone at night, or with several people in a group, are basically the elite of the orcs.
They almost have about 80% of the strength of the system's primary bloodline powerhouses.
Let’s be honest! If a person with such strength quietly dispatched in the middle of the night to launch a sneak attack on ordinary human soldiers, they would certainly know how powerful that terrifying and destructive Hu Biao was.
Therefore, Hu Biao certainly understands the current expression of joy among the indigenous people.
The problem is that it needs to be clearer that such a seemingly beautiful situation is just the calm before the storm.
How calm the situation is now, how terrifying it will be when it breaks out in the future.
The orcs outside the position must be brewing a brand new attack.
Although everything is quiet now, once it breaks out, it will be an extremely violent attack, stronger than any before.
As for when will the orc army launch an attack?
Today, there is at least a 70 to 80 percent chance that the orcs will launch an attack.
And why was Hu Biao so sure of this? All because since 9 o'clock in the evening, he began to feel gradually uneasy.
Just like an ant, feeling that a heavy rainstorm is coming soon, it becomes very uneasy in its heart.
And as the time got later and later, the uneasiness in Hu Biao's heart became more and more intense.
This is not the first time Hu Biao has encountered something like this.
He even knew that the reason for such a situation was entirely because he had experienced too many difficult battles and struggled between life and death countless times before he developed such an intuition similar to that of the battlefield.
Feel.
Although there is no scientific reason for this stuff, it is often horribly accurate.
In many previous sub-system missions, they relied on this kind of intuition to avoid crisis after crisis.
So under such a situation, it would be strange if Hu Biao could still fall asleep.
Even after nightfall, Hu Biao doubled the number of security personnel tonight, and there were AT, warehouse management, King Kong and other night owls on guard outside.
Theoretically, with the existence of these people, the orcs' sneak attacks would have no way to hide.
There is no chance of being attacked by the orcs and caught off guard.
It’s just that Hu Biao started hugging Zhu Xiulian at about 10 o’clock in the evening and planned to go to bed. During this period, he closed his eyes and counted countless sheep. As a result, he still didn’t fall asleep...
*******
"Hey, what's going on with you guys? You guys are all up so late at night. What are you doing sitting here?"
When Hu Biao reached the second floor of Fortress No. 2, which was the first staircase exposed on the ground, he immediately complained like this.
That's because quite a few people were sitting next to the kind of wood stove they were used to, which didn't expose much firelight.
Except for a few natives who were originally arranged to keep vigil, they were basically all members of the Central Continent team.
Xu Feng, Paw Team, Dinosaur, Original Sin, Lao Hei, Hei Chinese Medicine Doctor, Technician, Cheng Zi, Yueying, it means that they are not on guard outside, but almost all the personnel stationed in Fortress 2 are here now.
After seeing Hu Biao ask such a question, Hanshuang immediately said angrily:
"Who are you looking down on? We have also fought many battles, so you are not the only one who has that kind of battlefield intuition; everyone basically feels that something might happen tonight, so they can't sleep.
Rather than tossing and turning in discomfort, it is better to stay here and react more quickly later."
After hearing this, Hu Biao was too lazy to fight back, mainly because there were too many people on the other side and he couldn't win.
After looking around, he walked directly to where Original Sin was, kicked the bench where he was, and said:
"Bad calf, sit over a little bit~"
At such a simple sentence, a group of low-grade guys around him burst into laughter.
The main reason is that there is an extra little tail behind Original Sin. No matter where he goes, he will follow him no matter what he does. Even when he goes to the toilet, he will guard the door.
Specifically, this is a sixteen-year-old white girl named Annie.
Although Chun Zai has a lot of small freckles on both sides of the bridge of her nose, overall she is a pretty pretty sweet girl with blonde hair and a killer figure.
When Yuan Sin escaped from the prisoner camp and was operating a 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof of the car to fight the orcs, it was this girl who took over the position of the carpenter.
He became the deputy shooter of Original Sin and persisted until the end of the battle.
In the beginning, Original Sin was definitely due to the brave performance of this girl and the tragic experience of her family being killed by orcs long ago, so she was given some selfless care after the war.
Specifically, it means saving part of your own rations.
Sneak some chocolates and compressed biscuits to each other secretly.
Then one night, either out of gratitude in her heart or for some understandable reason, Anne quietly crawled into Original Sin's bed.
Then, Original Sin, a thing that usually defies heaven and earth, could no longer control it.
Anyway, from early the next morning, Original Sin had such a follower behind him.
Even in this situation, Anne hid her head in Original Sin's arms instead of taking a good rest, for fear that Original Sin would suddenly run away.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Yuan Sin replied bitterly to Hu Biao:
"You're just laughing at me for rushing into the street. You should think about how to deal with the affairs of Secretary Liu and Zhu Xiulian after you go back this time."
In such a sentence, Hu Biao's smile froze on the spot...
In this way, Hu Biao also sat by the stove and joined such a night vigil team.
In fact, the weather in California has been very good recently. The hottest part of the day is only 25-6 degrees Celsius, and the coldest part of the night is never lower than 10 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, Original Sin and the others gathered around the stove not because of the need for warmth, but simply because of human beings' instinctive pursuit of light.
You know! Since the beginning of this damn war, the civilization that mankind is proud of has suffered astonishing damage.
Things like electricity, which everyone has long been accustomed to and take for granted, have now become extremely precious.
Even the human forces in California have tried their best to integrate all available power generation methods such as hydropower, wind power, solar power, and fuel oil.
However, the electricity supply generated is far from enough for their use.
This precious power is of course used in some of the most critical places.
Among them, the production of weapons and equipment, the consumption of four electromagnetic guns, various electric vehicles, and battery charging can be said to have occupied almost all of the electricity production capacity.
Therefore, in the entire first line of defense, only the core No. 38 Fortress has limited power supply.
The main reason is to provide energy for several of the searchlights.
As for the forts 2 to 6 where Hu Biao and the others were located, there was no electricity at all; on a moonless night like today, only fires could provide some light.
There are flares in the hands of the defenders, but because the number is quite limited, they will only be used during battles.
That's why there is such a scene of a group of people guarding the stove.
Even among this group of people, like Hu Biao, there are actually several people with rudimentary night vision abilities, and the same is true; this is because humans have long been accustomed to it, and are more relaxed in a bright environment.
Even if there is only a little light that is not very bright, it can make them feel more comfortable.
Of course, such a stove also has other functions besides lighting and heating.
For example, after Hu Biao sat down to smoke a cigarette and habitually threw the cigarette butt into the stove, he suddenly thought of something.
He immediately shouted: "I said, why are you all sitting there so stupidly?
Didn't the big liar get a lot of potatoes in the black market with medicines and socks? He was just idle at night, so he baked these things in the small oven on the stove, and it tasted delicious.
Why don't we have enough to eat, so that if the orcs really want to launch an attack tonight, we'll have the strength to fight."
The voice finally fell, and most of the team members present became excited.
The reason is that as long as the older members of the team have not eaten baked potatoes, a down-to-earth food, when they were young?
Even Mad Dog, a relatively young one, is still talking about the memory of pulling a few potatoes out of the stove at home and eating them happily when he returned home from studying.
So, rather than having some midnight snacks, these people are reminiscing about the good times of the past.
In short, after Hu Biao's statement, one of the members of the team's cooking team, Husky, immediately released a small bag of potatoes with a thought.
I selected a dozen of them and stuffed them into the oven that came with the stove.
The so-called oven is actually a small drawer at the bottom of the stove that is used to catch the ashes of firewood.
In this way, you only need to bury the potatoes in ashes and bake them for not too long until they are fragrant without being damaged.
For this reason, Hu Biao and others began to wait patiently.
During such a process, three figures sneaked in from outside. After seeing the presence of Hu Biao and others, they quickly smiled and said hello.
Then, as if escaping, he escaped into the bottom floor and went to sleep.
And these three people are exactly the three members of society among the ten netizens who were given benefits by the system in this mission.
It’s time to say it or not! These people have a good ability to read the direction of the wind.
After learning about the cruelty of the mission world, these three guys became so docile that Hu Biao gave up the idea of dealing with them.
