Chapter 975 The core is stolen and the conflict spreads!
"The speed of Qinggang Shelter's return to defense is really slow. It seems that over the long years, it was too stable and lacked necessary practical experience, which led to the decline in combat effectiveness."
Standing at the gap of an incomplete high-rise building, Sumo put down his telescope, closed his eyes and rubbed his stiff temples.
Countless wars have proven that paper strength cannot completely determine the outcome of a war.
The number of exoskeleton armors in Qinggang Shelter exceeds one thousand, and the number of flying formations with full suppressive power is nearly a hundred, plus the various combat vehicles and tanks that dominate the ground.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to let the wanderers break into the high wall and cause such large-scale damage.
But that's what it is, in terms of losses.
Qinggang Shelter lost, and it was an extremely complete loss.
If the Tianyuan Army hadn't helped them guard the gap for more than twenty minutes in order to gain experience.
Now it is impossible for just two or three thousand homeless people to escape, but at least more than 10,000 homeless people can successfully escape.
They would disappear into the thick fog with a large amount of supplies, disappearing into Qinggang City, which was about to become the center of chaos.
"They didn't lose because of inexperience, but because of arrogance."
"This is inevitable. Almost every powerful force will make this kind of mistake to some extent."
Sudeben, standing aside, shook his head, seeming to think of some bad memories that had happened in the past.
"If you are the manager of Clear Harbor Shelter, someone is telling you that there is a team of wanderers without any training or any tactical literacy. They will use "ancient" weapons to knock open the strong outer walls of the shelter and destroy them.
Do you believe that the war has spread to the entire industrial area and that the remaining guards can be defeated?"
"Too confident and too arrogant. This is an obvious sign that a powerful force is weakening."
Listening to Su Deben's speech, Su Mo couldn't help but fell into silence, and for a while he didn't know what to say.
Quite different from what he said.
The current situation in Sunny Harbor Sanctuary must be more or less due to arrogance.
However, when I think about the development of Tianyuan Territory, I will inevitably have a head-on conflict with the other party in the future.
Sumo was a little lucky again.
At present, this large-scale industrial area has been destroyed by homeless people. Even if the Sunny Harbor Shelter wants to be restored, it cannot be completed overnight.
Coupled with the coming disaster attack, this is tantamount to greatly weakening the opponent's strength.
There is time in between, as long as the territory catches up...
After looking at the cheerful expressions of the Tianyuan Army soldiers, one team after another returned to the gathering place and began to clear away the large amount of loot on the ground.
And in the game area channel, everyone excitedly reported their level soaring.
Sumo nodded slightly, and couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the idea of the game's open route.
The route is indeed the simplest way for humans on earth to become stronger.
If you want to develop peacefully, you have to endure being left behind by the larger army and lagging behind in all aspects from level to ability.
And if you want to fight, this is indeed the situation that the game wants to see the most.
...
Surrounding and killing the remaining wanderers and marauders inside the high wall, until the large forces from Sunny Harbor Sanctuary returned, the situation was basically one-sided.
Facing the completely crushed equipment, the wanderers inside may have known their fate and had no intention of surrendering.
In the final analysis, destruction is always easier than defense, and having no bottom line is always more advantageous than having a bottom line.
Whether it is a flying formation in the air or an armored force on the ground, the Qinggang Army's style of play is extremely conservative. Once faced with homeless people kidnapping residents or hiding inside factory buildings, they will shrink back because they do not want to expand losses.
Once this idea came up, it was captured by the wanderers.
In the midst of complete chaos and with the Qinggang Shelter out of sight, these people relied on the buildings inside the industrial zone, but they defeated Qinggang's vanguard.
Then, with a shout from a certain wanderer leader, everyone moved to the river while fighting.
The commander of Qinggang obviously saw this, so he decisively sent an air formation to blow up the entire river with bombs, completely killing the last hope of survival of the wanderers.
In this way, after the Rangers were cornered, they also began to fight back with their lives, and the battle became a life-and-death contest.
Many wanderers put on the exoskeleton armor of casualty Qinggang troops and took the opportunity to blend in and detonate bombs.
Bullets and gunpowder were flying like stars in the sky, the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur, and the entire battlefield turned into a meat grinder.
Because he left early, Sumo was not able to see how much damage this group of people had caused to this industrial area at the last moment of their lives.
But perhaps in order to retaliate against the wanderers, before the Tianyuan Army could completely withdraw to the western suburbs, three more shocking explosions occurred throughout the city.
One is in the direction of the homeless jungle, and the other two are in the direction of the homeless people who escaped through the high wall. They are no less powerful than the previous neutralizing hydrogen bomb explosions.
This movement is enough to show how terrible the loss of Qinggang Shelter is.
"Thank God, you are finally back."
At the edge of the path entering the northern suburbs, Luke jumped down wearing a power armor and landed on the ground.
He glanced at the "Feng Harvest" Tianyuan warriors in surprise, and finally swallowed and looked away.
The keen warrior intuition told him that these people were definitely deeply involved in the battle.
No matter from their expressions, the strong smell of blood on their bodies, or the blood stains and fragments that have not been cleaned up.
Compared to the caravan guards, this group of people looked more like wild wolves that had been released from the cage and had already had a delicious meal.
Even if they are very poor, they can only use such crude weapons and equipment.
This fighting spirit alone is enough to surpass many large gathering places.
"The fighting there was really fierce. We were just helping out on the periphery, but we were almost treated as enemies."
"Fortunately, luck is still on our side."
Sumo smiled and did not dwell too much on this topic.
Looking at Luke who was still hesitant and wanted to continue asking, he stepped forward and gently put his hand on the other person's shoulder:
"Friend, you won't tell this news to Sunny Harbor Shelter, right?"
"Of course not. I didn't see anything."
Luke shrank his head and took a step back without knowing it, with an awkward smile on his face.
Nonsense, there was news from the caravan just now. Sean personally told Wan to protect this group of people.
For a businessman to be able to say this, Tianyuan Sanctuary has completely surpassed Qinggang Sanctuary in terms of value.
Right now, they don't have any casualties or any accidents, so they don't need to take risks to rescue them.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
...
The rumbling explosions did not stop after the three bombs were dropped.
As time goes by, Sunny Harbor Shelter's crazy revenge gradually spreads to every corner of the city, breaking the long-lost tranquility.
Integrated armored forces, flight formations constantly flying through the air, and the red-eyed Qingang Army.
Those homeless people who did not participate in this operation began to be arrested and transported to the industrial area in waves.
Looking at the tall warriors walking beside them, they had deep fear on their faces:
"We were not involved...Why, why arrest us?!"
"Invasion, aggression is done by looters, we...we are just scavengers in the city."
"It's the Wandering Alliance's evil deeds. It's them, they are the ones who want to attack you."
"Old Gopher, damn Old Gopher, let me go!"
"..."
All kinds of whispered curses and cries failed to make the cold Qinggang Army hesitate at all.
The wanderers were tied together by cold anklets and walked away with heavy steps.
There are men and there are women.
There are old people and children.
Some small gathering places hidden in the corners of the city have not been spared. As long as they are discovered by the Qinggang Army, they will be captured and forced to become a part of the team.
And at the entrance and exit of the Wandering Jungle.
About a hundred corpses were hung on the crooked neck tree, mixed into the thick fog, and looked like ghost films.
"All the top leaders of the Rangers Alliance have been executed. Now put down your weapons and give up resistance."
"Join the Clear Harbor Shelter, become a coolie, and survive."
"Otherwise, die!"
A high-power loudspeaker was placed at the entrance and exit, and homeless people with ashen faces walked out one after another.
Maybe they had more or less guessed the outcome before this raid broke out.
But for the rat-like lower classes in the city, there is actually no other choice.
To join is to die.
Resistance is death.
Only by being at the mercy of others like now is there any possibility of survival.
History has never changed. Just like the outcome of the homeless riots decades ago, suffering has struck again.
Somewhere in the southern suburbs.
Under the dark hexagonal building.
More than twenty shelter managers of various sizes sat at the conference table, with unusually awkward expressions on their faces.
In front of them, a man wearing a fiery red power armor was holding a sixteen-inch tablet.
A certain Mohu video was playing above, and clear sounds came from inside.
"Yes, we can provide you with weapons, but the benefit is that it is not a good thing to offend Sunny Harbor Sanctuary."
"Benefits? How could there be no benefits? We can help you weaken their strength."
"Yes, if you want to continue to watch Sunny Harbor Sanctuary ride on your head, use powerful force to eat away at your sanctuary, and squeeze your productivity, then we have nothing to say."
"It's ridiculous. With just a mob like you, even if you have weapons, you can't break into that high wall, let alone how to weaken their strength."
"How is it impossible? We have this..."
"Don't they want to call you for a meeting? As long as we can bring it inside that high wall, we can let Sunny Harbor Sanctuary fully know the consequences."
"Hydrogen bomb...you actually..."
"..."
The footage in the video doesn't make it clear who is talking to whom.
But just hearing this voice, many people sitting in the venue began to look pale.
"You succeeded."
The man wearing a fiery red power armor opened his helmet, revealing a face full of scars.
His expression was meticulous, scanning everyone present like a cold stone.
"Seventy percent of the industrial area was destroyed, and all high-energy pipelines erected in the air collapsed."
A response came from my ears.
"Sir Kyle, it wasn't us who did this, it was the gang of wanderers, it was them!
"
"Oh, is this important?"
There was a look of disdain on the man's face, as if he had once again realized the shamelessness of human nature.
Just relying on a video and audio recording cannot prove that the weapons supporting the homeless were made by these people.
After all, when they were talking, they had carefully put on voice changers in advance, and their voices had obviously changed.
In addition, there were no marks on those weapons, and there was no trace of Gopher Lao at all.
Of course, the senior officials of the Rangers Alliance who had been executed did indeed confess that this group of gophers from the southern suburbs were the masterminds behind their instigation.
but.
This bit of witness is useless. The damn Gopher will never admit it and take the blame on himself.
"We don't want to fight you early in this strange world, nor do we want to thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of this matter."
"Sunny Harbor is still a Sunny Harbor for everyone."
"But there is a premise that within thirty days, I need to see the industrial core appear on Lord Hades' desk."
"Industrial core?"
The managers sitting in the audience showed surprised expressions.
You look at me, I look at you, my eyes full of doubts.
"The advanced industrial core for manufacturing high-energy transmission pipelines was stolen during this battle. We don't know if the wanderers who broke out stole it, or if you people fished in troubled waters and stole it."
"But you know, the time left for you is only thirty days."
"If Master Hades cannot see the industrial core within thirty days, then war between us will be inevitable until someone is willing to hand it over."
After the man finished speaking domineeringly, he put the tablet back into his armor, opened the door and left.
The small conference room suddenly fell into silence.
Someone stole the industrial core?
No wonder this Qinggang Shelter is so crazy, after all, compared to the industrial area that can be rebuilt with only basic materials.
The value of an advanced industrial core can be exchanged for massive resources from the foundation.
"Quick, send our people out to look for them immediately. I don't want to fight these lunatics!"
"Whoever took it, please give it to them quickly. Damn it."
"Send someone to look for them in the direction the wanderers left. They won't be able to go far."
"The advanced industrial core... No wonder Hades is so crazy and wants to start a war with all of us."
...
Western suburbs area.
Looking at the man standing in front of him, the tall Yehu had a gloomy look on his face.
"I again state...we have absolutely no involvement."
"Whether you want to believe it or not, we have no reason to launch this war against you."
"I believe?"
The man sneered: "Xiehu, don't pretend to be a good person here. We know that you are resentful of the mediation a few days ago, but now we are willing to give you a chance."
"Find the stolen industrial core. There will be no third force involved in the dispute between you and the harbor shelter."
"really?"
"Of course, this is Lord Hades's promise to you. Even if you are willing, the newly emerged Tianyuan Sanctuary can also be included in your sphere of influence. Aren't you already coveting their fertile land and resources?
?”
"Find the industrial core, the entire western suburbs will be your territory, and you will have only one voice here!"
