The appearance of the mutated bird didn't scare Zhang Xiaoqiang. He had dealt with more than one giant bird. So what if Luo Kaishan had a giant bird?
It was a piece of meat in his mouth after all …
Originally, Zhang Xiaoqiang was going to leave with the troops to gather the survivors in Helan Mountain. However, the appearance of the giant bird made him change his mind. He decided to stay with Meow and Alyssa at the Garrison Camp and wait for the news while guarding against Luo Kaishan.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't know that it was his decision that saved the Garrison Camp from total annihilation … Just when Zhang Xiaoqiang was lying on the bed thinking about the opportunity to go home, Liu Lu brought everything she saw back to Helan Valley …
"There's more than one team outside. There's a team of thousands of people clearing the zombies on the hillside of Helan Mountain. They're very vigilant, and they're not afraid of the cloud eagles. Once I fly over, they'll open fire. There are a lot of heavy machine guns, at least dozens of them.
The weapon to deal with the Armored Ghost King is the rocket launcher. Every time the Armored Ghost King appears, there will be at least three rocket launchers. Usually, the Armored Ghost King will be killed …
I can't see how they deal with the Shadow Ghost King. Anyway, once the Shadow Ghost King appears, they will retreat. The Shadow Ghost King that chases up will hit something and roll on the ground, unable to move. They will capture them alive and send them to the back. The Ghost King isn't a threat to them, but a prey …
There are fewer dead ghosts. The dead ghosts in the mountain can't stop them at all. They are very stable. They like to use the terrain to separate the dead ghosts and then concentrate their firepower to clear them. In this way, the dead ghosts will die in a pile and they will throw Molotov cocktails to burn them …
There is their military camp at the foot of the mountain. There are at least a few hundred cavalrymen with heavy machine guns. I still can't go down. Moreover, the cavalrymen have guns too. Even if I go down, I won't be able to catch them …
They had killed all the ghosts from Yinchuan City to Wuhai City. Besides the tens of thousands of soldiers in the mountains, I also saw their troops in Yinchuan. As soon as they arrived at Yinchuan, they fired at me with anti-aircraft guns. Luckily, I was fast enough … "
Yinchuan City has already been occupied by them. The people on the streets are all their people. They use knives to kill zombies in Yinchuan. Maybe they don't have enough bullets … But I saw a lot of armored vehicles and tanks at the Yinchuan garrison … "
Inside the gloomy room, a vegetable oil lamp the size of a bean emitted a faint light, faintly illuminating the surrounding people. Luo Kaishan was sitting at the head of the table, while Liu Lu, whose hair had been blown into a broom by the wind, was reporting everything she had seen to him by the door.
Liu Lu's report made everyone in the room somewhat restless. More than one of them was calculating the possibility of them defending their base, and the final conclusion was infinitely close to zero.
Some people lowered their heads in silence, as if they were deep in thought. Some people stared at the bean-sized flames on the table, as if they were looking for the focus of their eyes. Some people hid themselves in the darkness, occasionally being illuminated by the flames, but they could see the twinkle in their eyes.
"Our chance is very small, very very small, so small that it is almost invisible …"
The man with glasses spoke first. Rather than saying it was a conclusion, it was better to say that he was murmuring … The man's words made the people around him nod secretly. Even Liu Lu, who looked down on everyone except Luo Kaishan, showed a rare trace of seriousness. According to the calculation that every city had a garrison, the number of the enemy's army alone was more than their entire population.
Luo Kaishan's face was still calm under the light, and there seemed to be no fluctuation in his eyes. Instead, there seemed to be a little more abstruse. However, in his heart, a storm was set off. Wasn't the tip of the iceberg referring to the army outside?
"Officer Jiang is right. We really don't have any chance, but it is not that easy for them to eat us up. Even if they have armored vehicles and tanks, so what?
Can they get them into the mountain?
As long as we defend the two mountains, at least a few hundred of them will die … "
The fat Chief Mu was the first to speak. His position here was not very low. He was in charge of the production planning of the entire valley and could be considered a person with real power. However, what he said was actually empty talk. He was also indirectly persuading Luo Kaishan to give up on becoming enemies with the outside world. This was because he had put the words "no chance" first. Although the latter part of his words sounded nice, it was obvious that even if they resisted to the end, they could at most cause a few hundred casualties. However, the enemy had an army of tens of thousands. Once they were angered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
How could Luo Kaishan not understand Chief Mu's indirect persuasion?
His eyes narrowed slightly, and an undetectable killing intent flashed in them. However, he did not speak. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was in deep thought.
"I think we first have to figure out their intentions. They need people to attack Mount Helan. What are they going to do with these people?
Are they going to be slaves or subordinates? Also, their goal is to rebuild their regime or to become an overlord or a local tyrant. These are all things we need to know … "
The wrinkled man also expressed his opinion after the fat man spoke. However, his opinion was even more blatant than Section Chief Mu's. At least the fat man was still trying to be secretive and put gold on his fortifications, but the man only wanted to know the treatment he would receive after surrendering.
When Liu Lu heard this, she was about to get angry. However, the cold light in the man's eyes pierced her heart. Thinking that she was not this guy's opponent, she angrily looked at the ceiling and no longer said anything.
"Even if we figure out their intentions, what can we do?
Being slaves is impossible. They have already recaptured cities. If they can recapture three cities, they can recapture thirty or even three hundred cities. What they lack are soldiers and workers who can produce bullets and weapons. No matter how corrosive the rain is, Yinchuan City can still find the necessary machinery and equipment. As long as they have the raw materials for the machinery, the only thing they lack is people. This is the reason why they are searching for Mount Helan …
Also, Captain Kong, what decision to make and how to make the decision is the responsibility of the Mountain Cutting King. We can only offer our opinions at most. Now that everything is still unclear, let's listen to what the Mountain Cutting King has to say first … "
Through Liu Lu's intelligence, he had more or less guessed the plan of the Grassland Army. Why did Zhang Xiao Qiang even use his main force and personally lead a team to search for survivors in Mount Helan? His purpose was to transfer the population of Mount Helan to Shizui Mountain or Yinchuan City to operate all kinds of production to provide assistance for the next battle. After all, they were getting further and further away from Alxa and the logistics line was getting longer and longer. Although Wu Hai had started to operate, he still felt that it was not enough.
Although Wu Hai was gradually operating, he still felt that it was not enough. Hearing Officer Jiang's reminder, Captain Kong also knew that he was being too hasty. The real master beside them did not say anything. If they spoke out their plans, it would arouse the suspicion of their superior. So he nodded and said, "Of course, what I am saying is, if the Mountain Cutting King's status and wealth can be guaranteed, then we can ask for a better place to settle us. After all, our goal is to survive. Only by surviving can we continue to enjoy and …"
"Bang …"
With a loud sound, the vegetable oil lamp on the table suddenly jumped up and fell heavily on the table. Half of the vegetable oil in the lamp splashed onto the table and the bean-sized light source dimmed, plunging the entire room into darkness.
"Cha …"
A flame dispelled the darkness in the room again. A match was burning in Luo Kaishan's hand, attracting everyone's attention. They silently stared at the flame in Luo Kaishan's hand, as if at this moment, only the burning match was the focus.
Before the match went out, it lit up half of the candle. The light from the candle was stronger than that of the vegetable oil lamp, almost illuminating half of the room. The guy who had hidden himself in the dark earlier could no longer hide anymore.
A few drops of candle oil dripped onto the table. Luo Kaishan carefully pressed the bottom of the candle on the water-like wax. As the transparent wax turned milky white and solidified, the candle was firmly embedded into the table.
Looking at the half-burned candle, no one said anything. They knew that this was one of the few candles left in the canyon. When it was used up, they had to collect the solidified candle water, pour it into the wick, and use it again.
