The group of people who invited Qu Jianlei could not be said to be decadent. Anyway, they were the kind of calm people who could see through the world of mortals.
As for those inside the building, most of them seemed calmer, as if they were ready to meet any outcome.
Qu Jianlei and the others ignored these people and continued to wander around.
But in the end, they were stopped and interrogated - to see their reserve numbers.
"There's no point in checking this," Qu Jianlei muttered, "When the aliens come, can we still be deserters?"
On the battlefield of the human civil war, it is possible to survive as a deserter, but against aliens...
The inspecting soldiers didn't pay attention to his complaints. Now the entire Bitao was like a huge powder keg that could explode at any time.
"Resisting against foreigners must be organized, otherwise we can only sit back and wait for death. I hope you will cooperate."
However, this kind of not-so-strict inspection has no equipment to prevent mental interference, so it is too easy to get passed.
Then the soldier reminded them, "Restrain yourself, don't wander around, or you may be caught as a spy of the evil empire."
"Spies?" Jing Yuexin blinked her eyes and asked, dumbfounded, "Will spies come to Bitao again?"
"Is there a problem?" The soldier looked serious, "If they cause sabotage, wouldn't it make it easier for aliens to invade?"
Jing Yuexin was speechless for a moment, and after walking a long way, she muttered in a low voice, "People from the Alliance... have really dirty hearts!"
As a genuine Imperial member, she never thought that she would facilitate the invasion of aliens by causing destruction.
War should be carried out in any way, and the moral bottom line can be trampled at will, but at least it must benefit oneself at the expense of others, right?
Qu Jianlei was silent. Although he was dissatisfied with the empire, the people in the Alliance seemed bold and unrestrained, and they had no lower limits when it came to facts.
There were too few people on the planet, so the two simply released Xiaohu's clone. At least the three of them didn't look so sneaky.
The three of them walked to a large residential area and saw a few small groups of residents gathering in the distance. As they were about to walk forward, an alarm suddenly sounded.
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin were still a little unaccustomed to this kind of situation, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The crowd in front dispersed and ran into the surrounding buildings, but not at a particularly fast speed.
Obviously, they have basically adapted to this kind of life.
There were actually people shouting at Qu Jianlei and the other three, while making some gestures.
The person who shouted should have a little power. They did not let the three people in the distance get closer, but pointed out the direction of avoidance.
"Are you wary of us?" Jing Yuexin muttered softly, "You are about to fight, but you are rejecting the living force?"
After all, the three of them had followed each other's instructions and trotted towards a small independent bungalow.
In the small bungalow, there is a passage that slopes downward. The door of the passage is ajar and opens when you pull it outward.
Not far behind the door is a corner, and the passage continues downward, with dim lights.
With the alliance's technological development, there is no shortage of lighting equipment. The lights are so dim that I don't know whether to save energy or prevent exposure.
Walking towards the passage diagonally downward, a solid room appeared after more than ten meters.
The room is not big, about twenty square meters, with vents, water pipes, and many monitoring screens.
Other than that, there are some fire control systems and some ammunition, but there are no energy blocks.
There is no doubt that the energy blocks on those external weapons are limited. Once they are used up, the people in the room must prepare them themselves.
This is an air-raid shelter, and it also has some counterattack weapons, which are very crude.
Of course, there is no need to consider comfort during wartime. Being alive is better than anything else, so there is no need to be too pretentious.
But Xiaohu's clone still muttered, "There's not even food or fuel... How many days can an ordinary person last?"
"It's temporary..." Qu Jianlei believed that this was the early stage of attack and defense, not the critical moment.
But mid-sentence, he stopped abruptly and blinked, "Those people don't let us get close... are they worried about supplies?"
"That should be the case," Jing Yuexin nodded thoughtfully, "I thought they wanted us to escape as soon as possible."
"Hey," Qu Jianlei shook his head and finally said, "I'm quite experienced."
He was annoyed, but to be fair, he would have done it if he had been left alone.
Those people in the residential area should be familiar with each other, and the three of them are pure passers-by.
In the face of the impending doomsday, whether it is maintaining order or the supply and demand of survival materials, acquaintances are always better at coordinating than outsiders.
Letting strangers into the shelter at this time is simply laying a minefield.
There is no need to criticize this kind of behavior. Unfortunately, it is only targeted at them.
"There is a door here!" Jing Yuexin made a new discovery on the wall.
Because the room had rough walls and dim lighting, they didn't notice it at first.
Qu Jianlei glanced at it and curled his lips, "It opens inward... This air-raid shelter is really not popular."
In most buildings, the doors open inwards and outwards, which have completely different meanings.
In the current situation, opening it outward makes it easier for people inside to rush out, and opening it inward makes it easier for people from outside to break in.
The door of the passage they came down opened outwards, which was used to block foreigners.
But this door obviously leads to other buildings, but it opens inward. Obviously, this room has extremely low priority.
The most important thing is that the door locks are on the opposite side, which is too passive.
But the three of them didn't care. With their skills, it didn't matter if the door existed or not, but it just didn't feel good.
However, as a stranger from outside, I can find this kind of room at any time, so I can't say anything.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaohu's clone made a new discovery, "The degree of automation of these weapons... is really bad."
Qu Jianlei laughed when he heard this, "I guess the blame will have to be placed on you."
Xiao Hu was a little unconvinced, "Maybe this room has a low priority. I'll try other places."
However, facts have proven that Qu Jianlei was indeed right. Most of the weapons on the entire planet have a low degree of automation.
Especially in those key prevention areas, the degree of automation is lower, and the data network is obviously regionalized.
This time it was Xiaohu's turn to be angry and funny, "Does artificial intelligence have no personality? This is the biggest insult to me!"
"Okay, the aliens have begun to attack," Taoist Jiao sent out his spiritual consciousness, "Stop fighting."
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin also released their spiritual consciousness for observation.
Xiaohu's clone didn't have this ability, "Forget it, I'll hack it in and see if I can switch the camera over."
More than two million kilometers away from Bitao Star, there are Linhai groups in five directions, with each group having approximately 1,800 trees.
These are just the vanguard of the alien race. Behind them, in the depths of space, there are a lot of dark clouds, which are vast forests.
What's interesting is that these alien races also seem to understand the tactic of "surrounding five and missing one", leaving a direction for people to escape.
Of course, it is not easy to escape without any damage. There are small patches of trees floating everywhere in space.
It can be said that Bitao is now semi-enclosed.
The military should still have a considerable number of warships, but... warships cannot be used to defend the planet when fighting alien races.
A large number of alien races gathered in outer space and did not get close, just because they wanted the military to send warships for a decisive battle.
After all, artillery fire on the ground will cause great damage to the aliens. Not only is the price too high, their lethality will also be reduced.
There is no doubt that the military is also aware of this. If we take the initiative to attack, we will lose ground cover.
If they really want to fight a space battle, they would rather be in deep space, where they can at least take advantage of their speed.
Now that we have ground artillery cover, it would be silly to have a space battle at our doorstep.
Unless Bitao is the main battlefield for the decisive battle, the two sides will directly compete in military strength, but obviously, that is not the case now.
At present, the alien race has only sent out three large forest seas and begun to approach and attack from three directions.
There are more than a thousand trees in each of the three forest seas, all mobilized from the rear. Such an attack can basically be regarded as harassment.
However, it is obvious that if not handled properly, harassment may turn into a prelude to the main attack.
The area where Qu Jianlei and the others were located was on the edge of the attack range of a forest sea.
Lin Hai's attack range is very large. Although they move relatively slowly, they will keep moving in order to reduce losses.
The place where Qu Jianlei and the others are located is not considered a major coverage area, but it is definitely covered.
Facing the alien forest sea that was getting closer and closer, the alliance military took off warships to meet the enemy.
This kind of response is not contradictory, and I won't go into details. In short, it relies only on ground attacks, and the effect is too general.
Most of the ships we fight are small ships. Although they are fragile, they are mainly flexible and powerful.
Qu Jianlei and the other three just looked at him coldly, showing no interest in helping.
Xiao Hu even had time to search for some other news, "Hey, Wu Zhen and the others have all left Bitao."
Because the news about Baozhixing has spread, the authorities are quite passive, and some refugees who have the means have already found a way to leave.
The remaining people who fled did not agree and wanted to run further. Their reason was that they had already resisted on the front line.
Although the army must pay attention to the battles, it is not too much for ordinary people to take a rest after encountering a war, right?
The officials originally didn't want to agree, but they couldn't let them go on, so they all moved to the rear.
However, Wu Zhen was retained because he had experience in resisting aliens.
In the end, both the official and the military agreed that his death in Bitao was the ideal outcome - he would become a hero after his death.
But Wu Zhen is very good at what he does. Since he wants to use my experience, you have to give me the power, at least let me talk about it, right?
After he told a story, the officials felt that leaving this guy in Bitao might become a timely fire bomb.
This person has a tradition of disobedience, from secretly completing the war fortress to later abandoning the deputy commander-in-chief of the theater and not saving him...
