Lao Huang moved the searchlight and raised it upward.
"Old Huang."
"Huh?" Lao Huang turned his head and saw the imperial concubine whose face glowed purple-blue under the ultraviolet light.
"What's up?"
"The city lord and the others are here."
"Yes, didn't you see it today? It should be in the inner city now."
"Yes." The imperial concubine nodded thoughtfully.
"What on earth do you want to ask?" Lao Huang didn't understand what the imperial concubine wanted to say to him.
"It's okay." The imperial concubine turned her head and walked towards the sentry tower.
"This girl..." Lao Huang shook his head when he saw this.
Move from the imperial concubine's back and look outside the wall again.
Under the illumination of ultraviolet lights, the zombies below are shrouded in this blurry and sci-fi light.
There was not a single zombie climbing on the wall, and the roars of zombies continued to be heard.
But the people on the wall are as stable as old dogs. With ultraviolet lights, wall-climbing zombies cannot pose any threat to them.
On the wall are not only combatants and non-staff personnel from Oil City, but also personnel from other northern cities such as Eagle.
The northern border area is too large, and the people from Oil City alone cannot shoulder the task of defending the inner and outer cities at the same time, so they asked Yingying and others to come over and help.
...
...
Inner city.
silence.
The street lamp at the gate of the inner city was damaged during a thunderstorm. After repairing it, there were still some problems. It made a sizzling sound and flickered on and off.
Crunchy——
The inner city gate suddenly opened, and a pickup truck drove in.
Cannon sitting in the car, holding a voice recorder in his hand, was still reminiscing about the fun of the interrogation just now.
Ah Hong, who was driving the vehicle, still looked a little pale.
The previous four hours of interrogation left him still unable to calm down.
Even now, he doesn't dare to look at the cannon.
Just after a cannon operation, Mr. Xu and Liu Hong explained everything they knew about the northwest.
Without even asking the cannon, Mr. Xu explained the military strength and defenses in the northwest, as well as the details of the boss.
After receiving the interrogation results, Ahong ran to the inner city with Cannon to report.
In inner city meeting.
The small reporting meeting that started in the evening has ended long ago, and Zhang Qiwu, Xie Weishan and others have already left here.
Li Yu and his third uncle originally thought that the results of the trial would not be available until tomorrow at least tomorrow, but they did not expect that the results would be available on the same day.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Li Yu learned from the intercom on the ninth floor of the City Lord's Mansion that Cannon had been interrogated and immediately called his third uncle to the conference room to wait.
At the same time, let the operator in the conference room contact the headquarters base so that the second uncle and the first uncle can listen together later.
After making all preparations, Ahong drove his vehicle and arrived at the downstairs of the City Lord's Mansion.
The two tall walls in the north blocked out the roars of zombies outside.
The greenhouse construction site stopped at night, and the downstairs of the City Lord's Mansion was quiet.
Only the sound of crickets could be heard in the grass beside the steps.
Crunch!
boom!
After the car stopped, Cannon got out of the car and closed the door.
A Hong also got out of the car and walked upstairs with Cannon.
Tens of seconds later, they arrived at the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion.
There were only a few people in the conference room, Sanshu, Li Yu, Li Gang, Li Tie, Lao Xie, Jackal...
Yang Tianlong went to the basement to look at the zombie generators. Lao Yi worked the night shift on the inner city wall, so the two of them were not there.
"Cannon, how are you? Have you asked all the questions?"
As soon as Cannon entered the door, his third uncle asked.
Cannon nodded, a hint of pride flashing imperceptibly on his face. He had never failed in an interrogation before.
"The interrogation is out."
Cannon walked over and handed the recording on his cell phone to his third uncle.
"The military strength of the northwest is extremely strong. There are still 5,000 fully armed combatants, and even...
There is a fully armored brigade, reaching a size of 500 people. It is their ace team among the northwest aces, equipped with 50 armored vehicles, 6 armed helicopters, 30 artillery pieces, and 20 howitzers..."
What Cannon said immediately shocked everyone present.
This... is really fierce.
You must know that it is now more than five years after the end of the world. Everyone present is very aware of how much the world has changed in the past few years.
It is extremely rare that there are still so many teams and such strong firepower in such an environment.
Everyone looked at each other.
The third uncle looked at the phone in his hand,
"All the contents of the interrogation are in it?"
"Yes, it's all in there."
The third uncle nodded, "Let's all listen together."
Through Ahong and Cannon's narration, although it will be known faster.
However, after being paraphrased by Cannon, it cannot be fully explained. Everyone's understanding and memory are different.
They were very afraid of the power in the northwest, so they were very cautious this time.
I turned the volume of my mobile phone to the maximum and placed it on the long-wave wireless radio station. I asked the second brother if he could hear it until the second brother said that he could hear clearly.
Then I clicked on the one and a half hour long recording.
Mr. Xu's hoarse voice came slowly,
"The specific location of the northwest is Jiayu City..."
"The person in power in the northwest is the big boss, and his real name is: Zhao Mingqian..."
When he heard this, the third uncle suddenly raised his eyebrows. He always felt that this name was somewhat familiar.
Then when he heard Mr. Xu explaining Zhao Mingqian's father, the third uncle's eyes narrowed.
It's no wonder he is that person's son...
Continuing to listen, the third uncle glanced at Li Yu when he heard the words "meteorite from outside the sky".
Li Yu also looked at his third uncle at this time, and there was also a loud noise coming from the long-wave wireless radio station.
"What's wrong?" Li Yu asked.
"It's okay, I'm so excited. Let's continue playing." The second uncle rubbed his aching hand. He was so excited just now that he slapped the table.
The solid wood table was thick and heavy, and his hands were sore when he slapped it and bounced back.
Continue playing.
"Over there at Ma Laoliu in Wuyuan Mountain..."
The third uncle snorted coldly when he heard that Wuyuan Mountain was just a place where a horseman from the northwest forces was.
He knew that Xu Zhi didn't tell the truth, and the place he released was just a smoke bomb.
In the conference room, no one interrupted, everyone was listening quietly.
Regarding the situation in the northwest, as Mr. Xu and the others explained, it was like a huge map slowly unfolded in front of them.
The conference room echoed with the voices of Mr. Xu and others, as well as the sound of rustling paper and pen tips.
Mr. Xu and the others revealed so many things that surprised them that they couldn't remember them through memory alone for more than an hour, so Third Uncle also lowered his head to take notes from time to time.
If you listen to a little bit and then discuss, this is too inefficient.
It's better to listen directly to it first, and after getting a general understanding, everyone can slowly talk about it point by point.
An hour and a half passed quietly.
"any left?"
"No, I will tell you everything I should say and what I shouldn't say."
"And you?"
"I don't have any anymore."
.....
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone said nothing, as if they were still digesting what Mr. Xu and the others just said.
Li Yu got up from his chair and walked to the window, looking at the dotted lights in the northern city with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
This northwest force is much more powerful than they imagined.
Their ace armored team alone can completely defeat the current northern border.
The strength in Oil City is slightly stronger, but facing this ace armored force, if we only judge it in terms of firepower, it will be a 50-50 split at best.
However, the distance issue must also be taken into consideration. They have been to Southeast Asian fraud groups before to conduct remote operations, which is difficult.
Logistics was a huge problem, but at that time, it was only over a thousand kilometers from their base in Da Zhangshu to Southeast Asia.
It is 2,000 kilometers from Jiayu City in the northwest to the northern border, 2,500 kilometers to the Oil City, and a terrifying 3,000 kilometers to the Dazhangshu Base.
For such a long distance, if you are coming from Jiayu City and if you are walking on the ground, it will take at least half a month to get here. This is still a conservative estimate.
Not counting the various problems encountered on the road, in the last few years, ground traffic has been paralyzed. And maybe when we were stationed halfway at night, we encountered a heavy rain, then...
Logistics needs to be supported for more than half a month, not only food issues, but also vehicle maintenance and so on.
One of the reasons why they were able to fight continuously in Southeast Asia was that they used zombie attracting potions to minimize the loss of their own strength.
The other one is that they don't have to consider logistical issues at all, they just grab the materials and ready-made food for raiding the opposing forces. If the car breaks down, they will replace it with theirs.
Coming from the northwest, there are relatively big operational problems, both in terms of distance and other aspects.
But...what if they really come?
Li Yu frowned. He felt that the northern border might have to prepare a second plan.
We cannot hope that the northwest forces will not come, and be prepared for the worst.
"Xiaoyu."
A call from his third uncle woke up Li Yu from deep thought.
Li Yu turned around and returned to his original seat.
"Um."
Li Yu put his hands on the table and tapped it lightly, and said to everyone:
"Everyone, tell me, what should we do now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cannon shouted:
"We went directly to steal their extraterrestrial meteorites, and then made a zombie vaccine!"
"Uh..." Li Tie glanced at him,
"It's not that easy. Didn't you listen to what the old man Xu Zhi said... Their ancient city has controls on entry and exit, and no one can come in or out at will. How we can sneak in is a problem, and they put the meteorite underground.
, it is heavily guarded and it is simply unrealistic to sneak in secretly."
Cannon waved his hand, "Then hit them and force them to hand over the meteorite!"
"Fight there? It's so far!"
When Li Tie heard what Cannon said, his mouth twitched, "It's a distance of two to three thousand kilometers. Even if we can successfully reach there, our personnel will be exhausted and fighting on other people's territory will not give us an advantage at all."
"Besides, their weapons and ammunition are even stronger than ours in terms of heavy firepower. How can we fight them?"
"Sending a large force there means you are going to die."
Cannon retorted: "Don't we still have zombie-attracting potions? The zombie-attracting potions open the way for us to bomb from behind. It's not like we haven't tried it in Southeast Asia before..."
"It's different. The northwest side is more complicated and much stronger. The northwest side is heavily guarded. We probably were discovered before we even got close to the northwest." Li Tie shook his head and still felt that the idea of cannons was inappropriate.
Too realistic.
"Besides, didn't Xu Zhi say that there are very few zombies in the northwest...there are no zombies at all...our medicine is of no use at all."
The argument between the two also revealed the thoughts of many people present.
Let's fight. If you can't fight, at least it's hard to take advantage by running over.
I don't want to fight, but I'm afraid they'll hit me at any time.
Like a lump in the throat.
Extremely uncomfortable.
"I think...."
The second uncle's voice came from the radio station.
"You don't have to think that the situation is that bad. It's hard for us, but it's also hard for them."
"And if we let Xu Zhi and his gang go back, they may not be able to figure out our details even more."
"From the original situation where the enemy was in darkness and we were in the clear, it has now been completely reversed. At least we know more about their northwest side than they know about us."
"From their point of view, they would probably take action."
"I think we can make an agreement with them to sit down and have a chat somewhere between the northwest and Oil City. We can take this opportunity to let Xu Zhi bring the news back."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lao Xie thought for a while, nodded and said:
"It makes sense. It's better not to fight if you can, otherwise it won't be beneficial to both sides."
"Have a good chat with them. Maybe they are not unreasonable people. Let's work together to develop a zombie vaccine and the world will be peaceful!"
The northwest is strong and a tough nut to crack.
The third uncle didn't say anything when he heard what Lao Xie said.
Sighing in my heart...
If only the human heart were really that simple.
You can't rely on others to be like you and think about developing a vaccine and saving the world.
For a country, or a current force, vested interests are more important to consider.
Human nature is selfish.
If a potion is developed and no profit is made from it, the big boss probably won't get involved.
Heroes often have to sacrifice their lives. The reason why a hero can become a hero is that he not only burns his own life, but also sometimes has to pay the price with the lives of those around him.
Heroes are great, they sacrifice themselves to save the common people.
Sacrifice your family and save the world.
After Lao Xie finished speaking, he fell into silence.
The second uncle was the first to speak:
"Of course we have to talk, but it depends on how we talk, and we can't think too highly of each other."
"At least now, we must not leak out the existence of Madi and the others, and the fact that the original parameters are in our hands."
"Ah? If you don't say this, how can we attract them to talk to us?" Lao Xie asked doubtfully.
"There is no need to think about how to attract them. Since they can take the initiative to send people to the north, they must also want to know about us. What we want to talk about will be discussed after we meet." The second uncle replied.
"Uncle San, what do you think?" Li Yu, who had remained silent, suddenly asked.
The third uncle actually didn't like this kind of intrigue, but when Li Yu asked him, he had no choice but to say:
"I think after all these years, the northwest is also strong. We don't have to rush to develop a zombie vaccine. We still have to understand the situation in the northwest first."
"We can talk first, but we must also be prepared in case they call...what should we do."
What Third Uncle said made Li Yu interested.
"How to say?"
The third uncle said: "They know the North and they know the Oil City. If they are coming to the North, it's better to say that at worst we can just withdraw, hand over the North to them, and use the zombie attracting potion to catch them off guard."
"But over there in Oil City... there are too many people to evacuate..."
"I think if the northwest really sent a large number of troops to the Oil City, then the northern border and the Da Zhangshu Base would send out people with medicines to break through the Lanshi Pass that they set up to hinder the zombies, and get rid of his lair."
"Or..."
The third uncle's eyes narrowed, "If they really dare to do this.
Don’t worry, I’ll take action! I’ll take the special forces and carry out a beheading operation for them!”
It’s not like Third Uncle has never done something like this before. Once in Southeast Asia, he beheaded a local military leader amid layers of encirclement. The local military leader had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and he was also beheaded by Third Uncle’s team.
It's just...that the third uncle also lost his team members permanently in that battle.
