During the war purge after the catastrophe, transportation facilities such as highways, railway tracks, and maglevs all received special attention during the war.
The underground highway was no exception. 57 heavy-pressure bombs were dropped by satellite weapons, which destroyed several sections of the underground highway used by China for the deployment of military supplies during the war.
"However, no matter what, the underground highway from Northwest District to Xuzhou has been repaired, so their talents may appear there, right?"
After hearing Chen Tianyuan's words, everyone fell silent again.
Seeing that no one spoke, Chen Tianyuan paused and continued: "Since it is a declaration of war, then the war is a foregone conclusion. We will naturally respond to their arrogance and stupidity with guns and artillery. There is no doubt about this. However, in this
There are a lot of things that puzzle me... Aren't you interested? What prompted them to take such a thoughtless move and declare war on a strange force 1,500 kilometers away in winter."
"He mentioned the treasure, but the question is, what exactly is the treasure he mentioned? We have lived here for so many years and we haven't discovered it. Where did this bullshit treasure come from!" A man with a beer belly couldn't help but curse.
"The purpose of marching in winter is to avoid alien species. And they are using underground passages. Naturally, they are not considering avoiding alien species along the way. There is only one possibility... Their destination can only be reached in winter."
Crossing his fingers, Zhao Tianqiang said in a deep voice.
Chen Tianyuan nodded approvingly and looked at all the members present.
"Member Zhao and I have similar ideas about the city center. If there is any place in Jinling City that we have not set foot in, it must be the city center."
Before the war, Jinling City, as a super metropolis in China, had the largest high-tech park in China and countless research institutes.
It is precisely because of this that during the cleansing after the disaster, the hostile forces took care of it intentionally or unintentionally. After all, nuclear bombs flew into the sky, so it was normal for them to explode accidentally. Therefore, the city center was particularly tragic, and was almost turned into a piece of scorched earth.
, only extremely mutated creatures or dead zombies can survive there.
In this wasteland, the city center is synonymous with danger. Even the most powerful hunter team has never set foot in that area. There are hordes of zombies, ghoul lairs, and unreasonably powerful alien species.
…the rewards of exploring downtown are completely out of proportion to the risks.
But if there's ever a time when the city center is relatively safe, it's winter.
When winter comes, most alien species need to hibernate, and the only trouble left is zombies.
But even so...
"Downtown? What else is there besides nuclear bomb craters and scrap metal?" a congressman wearing square glasses asked.
He sneered disdainfully.
"Maybe it's a murder tool left behind by the predecessors? Or maybe it's just a USB flash drive loaded with mysterious codes? No matter what's there, our neighbors are already interested, aren't they? We have reason to believe that they have conclusive evidence.
Only if they have evidence, they will come all the way to plot against us." Chen Tianyuan said with a smile.
"If you just want to enter the city center, why don't you discuss it with us?" Zhao Tianqiang frowned and said in a deep voice: "We don't have to fight, we can cooperate. For example, provide supplies to their expeditionary force and charge a certain commission.
!”
"What do you think the Northern United Region is, a team of hunters stationed here? Providing supplies? Why not just plunder? They are not businessmen, but a group of bandits under the rule of warlords." A councilman sarcastically said.
"Regardless of whether they can defeat us or not, even if they win, will they still have the energy to plot in the city center? I agree with Congressman Zhao. Their behavior is very abnormal. There may be some hidden secret that we don't know about."
A relatively steady-looking congressman said.
"Because of arrogance." Feng De said with a sneer.
"However, arrogance has nothing to do with IQ. They directly chose to go to war knowing that cooperation was the best option, unless..."
"Unless that treasure is tempting enough!" Chen Tianyuan spoke, crossing his fingers to cover the tip of his nose: "They firmly believe in the value of that treasure, and they also firmly believe that after we know the true identity of the treasure, we will try our best to snatch it. Even if we insist
Even after more than ten years of reputation, we cannot guarantee our honesty."
"So... what could that treasure be?" someone asked aloud.
"I personally prefer a weapon." A mysterious smile flashed across Chen Tianyuan's face, and he lowered his voice: "If there is a super weapon, it can suppress a base or even a city in an instant.
people"
"This is impossible. If such a weapon really existed, it would have been a priority at that time." Someone immediately retorted.
"Second. And how are they sure that something like that must exist in the center of Jinling City?"
Chen Tianyuan didn't pay attention to the rebuttals of other council members and just smiled calmly.
After a pause, he continued: "We are all people who unfortunately failed to enter the shelter. I believe you are familiar with the great purge after the disaster. The space-based weapon "Thunder Spear" that broke the Holy Shield system
.”
Upon hearing the name Thunder Spear, everyone here held their breath.
That was a long time ago, but even today, more than ten years later, they will not forget what happened that day.
The dome covering the sky disintegrated under the blue rays, followed by orbital airborne troops falling like raindrops...
Zhao Tianqiang looked at Chen Tianyuan in disbelief and said with difficulty: "Hasn't that thing been blown into space junk? I remember it was occupied by the aerospace special forces, and then the other party started the self-destruction program!"
"Based on the data modeling analysis conducted by my supercomputer..." As he spoke, Chen Tianyuan took out a graphene card from his pocket, shook it between his two fingers, and then stuck it on
on the desktop.
The holographic image appeared again, a simulated earth with a mesh structure, and the weapon platform Thunder Spear floating above it.
"T.N.T with an equivalent of three hundred kilograms will self-destruct and explode, and the weapon module will fall in the center of Jinling." The mesh-woven Thunder Spear weapon component turned red and drew a red trajectory, pointing to the location of Jinling City in the simulated earth.
.
"If they get the satellite fragment, repair it, and shoot it back into space. It will become a sword of Damocles hanging over all of us. It will become our eternal nightmare."
As he spoke the last word, the holographic image disappeared, and the atmosphere on the conference table instantly solidified.
The expressions on everyone's faces became wonderful.
In addition to fear and anger, there is also a trace of greed!
"What do they want to do..." Zhao Tianqiang said with difficulty.
"Domination, or slavery." Chen Tianyuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "They want to continue their dictatorship outside the northwest. I can't think of any more reasons except this."
"Resistance is inevitable, and free will will never bow to a dictator. There is no doubt about this. So there are only two choices before us at this moment."
"One: Before they come to Jinling City, explore the city center first. If there really is a big killer weapon there, we can definitely use it to deal with them."
"Two: Turn your back on our treasure, set up defenses around the suburbs, and fight the invaders to the death."
"Then, as usual, let's vote."
After saying that, Chen Tianyuan smiled meaningfully and pressed the voting button.
.......
The vote ended with an absolute advantage of 2:8, and the second resolution was adopted to fight the invaders to the death.
Even in winter, exploring the city center is a very risky thing. If you pay a certain price but fail to find the treasure, or the treasure is not a super weapon at all, even the weapon cannot be used in a short time.
Repaired and put into use, it will undoubtedly add variables to the war.
Most people have chosen a safer plan, first solving the external troubles and then going to see what is hidden in the ruins.
After the meeting, the members left their seats one after another.
