Chapter 3, The Dead Prisoner
It took four and a half hours to travel from the temporary camp to the Wasted Village.
The elites of the Marine Corps were all scattered in a small team of five as vanguards and scouts.Gu Hang led the victim, Patel, and his Servant Battalion to move forward steadily.
On the way, Gu Hang received a report from the Marine Corps' investigation team. They found a small transport team, which should belong to the 'Dead Prisoners' tribe.
Gu Hang authorized Yan Fangxu to lead the marines and some servants to wipe them out and try to capture them alive.
Captain Yan is an elite navy, so he can easily do such a trivial matter without any accidents.
However, after Gu Hang finished listening to the living confession, his mood couldn't be more beautiful.
Gu Hang asked someone to bring Patel over, and said to him: "It seems that these robbers never intended to let you go."
Patel also saw the situation of the transport team, with an angry expression on his face: "Yes, they transported a large amount of high explosives, not to mention blowing up the gate of the Waste Cave Society, even if they blow up the mine and bury us all to death." It's enough inside."
Gu Hang shook his head and added: "That's not all, according to the information obtained from Captain Yan's interrogation, they have already negotiated with the green skins in the ruins of the high wall, and the more than 900 people in your ruined cave society are all regarded as high-quality rations , ready to sell to those green-skinned beasts."
"what?!"
Patel knew that the 'Dead Prisoners', a group of wasteland bandits, were absolutely full of malice towards them, but he was still shocked by their ferocity.
The description of 'green beast' is appropriate for those mutants.They not only exist in Fu Xiaoxing, but also exist widely in the universe, and they are also called "cancer of the universe".
They have no distinction between male and female, and their reproduction depends on the symbiotic spores in the body that fall off and then 'grow' out of the ground, as does their food.
It stands to reason that they don't need to buy any rations, but the two things these green-skinned beasts like most in life are fighting and eating the brains of intelligent creatures.The former is their nature, while the latter is their means of technological upgrading.
These beasts that grew out of the land were indeed primitive and savage at first, fighting with stone axes and wooden sticks.And when they eat enough and smart enough brains, technology will also develop rapidly, iron weapons, guns and cannons, and even interstellar navigation...
Their warlike and destructive nature, the stronger they become, the more they will become a natural disaster that wreaks havoc on everything.
Logically speaking, such a race should be the enemy of all mankind.The empire did indeed have a killing order for the green-skinned orcs, and they would kill them all when they saw them, and then purify the land to kill the spores to ensure that they would not grow again.
But... the policy is the policy, and the implementation is another matter.
Angry owl star, taxes can't be paid, food and clothing in the planet can't be guaranteed, there are many conflicts between various forces, the whole planet is in chaos, and the governor is forced to come out to farm by himself... In this situation, it is true that you can't count on 'prisoners'. A bandit like the dead has any feelings for the fate of all mankind.
However, not only not being hostile, but also doing business with these man-eating beasts, that would be intolerable.
Cleaning up the green-skinned beasts is what Gu Hang must do.
Of course, not now.
According to the confession, there are tens of thousands of green-skin tribes in the so-called high wall ruins, and they have at least evolved to the point of possessing automatic weapons, and there is not much difference in equipment from humans on the planet.If you want to clean up those animals, it is definitely not something that Gu Hang can do with his current strength.
Fortunately, the 'high wall ruins' are quite far away, so there is no need to worry too much for a while.
The most important thing to deal with is the group of wasteland looters who threaten the waste cave society.
Now, Gu Hang already knew their exact information.
Four kilometers away from the mine where the Waste Cave Society is located, the 'Dead Prisoners' have built a temporary camp.These guys never thought that the Waste Tunshe would dare to come out to fight with them, so they didn't make any preparations for fortifications.
"Great opportunity, we can launch a surprise attack! Our mortar can cause a very good strike effect!" Yan Fangxu seemed excited.
"Okay, just do it."
After a short rest, there were still two hours to go, but they arrived in just over an hour.
The reason for speeding up is that the transportation team will not arrive for a long time, making those gangsters aware of the abnormal situation.
After a quick march, they still needed some rest time before launching an attack.
The thirty elite soldiers of the Marine Corps are fine, but the servitor needs to rest instead.They don't cry tired, but they do, and fatigue reduces their ability to fight.
According to Yan Fangxu's suggestion, the soldiers will start again in 45 minutes, and an hour later, the mortar positions will start shelling.
At the position where the 'dead prisoner' camp could already be seen from a distance, Gu Hang patiently led the team to rest, took nutritional cream and sat quietly to replenish physical strength, and built a mortar position...
He knew that the patience now was for the sake of finishing the battle later.
……
Kaga was feeling inexplicably irritable at the moment.
These days, it's not easy being a looter.They haven't opened for a while, and all supplies are about to run out.The food is okay, so you won't have to worry about breaking the waste hole society.Even if these miners don't have much food reserves, hundreds of people can use it for a long time if they are slaughtered and made into jerky.
Destructible weapons, consumed ammunition, these are not easy to replenish.And the major forces are not very happy to do business with these looters, only those green-skinned tribes are willing.Although the green skin technology is not easy to use, the failure rate of the weapon is extremely high, and the ammunition is easy to misfire, and in their hands is far from as high as the power of those green skins themselves...
But better than nothing.
To be honest, Kajia despises the most abundant ore in the Waste Cave Society.This thing is heavy and worthless, and it is not easy to sell stolen goods.But the [-] people in the cave are good things. They can be used as their own rations, and they can rush to the ruins of the high wall to sell them for green leather arms. Isn't it wonderful?
Chasing people is much easier than chasing sheep.
For this reason, the 'Dead Prisoners' are almost in full force.Except for a few old, young, women, children and housekeeper brothers who stayed in the lair, the main force was brought out by Kajia, and there were more than 100 people.
There are many people in the waste hole society, but there are few guns, so there is nothing to fear.Being able to survive on the wasteland for such a long time mainly depends on the good terrain.Kaga personally went to investigate that mine, and it really is easy to defend but difficult to attack.The entrance of the cave is tightly sealed with ore and metal, and then it is closed from the inside with a thick door, which cannot be opened by manpower.
They were already trying to blow up the door yesterday, but they failed because the yield was not enough.In desperation, he had no choice but to send his confidantes back to his hometown to transport, including the concentrated explosives at the bottom of the box.
His patience was exhausted, and he couldn't trick the group of diggers to open the door. When the explosives came, they would be done.
It was supposed to be done today, so don't worry, but Kajia still felt bored.According to the time, his transport team should be coming back, but why is there no movement at all?
He had already been urging his subordinates to try to call and contact the transport team by radio communication, but he still couldn't get in touch.
This made him even more uneasy.
Half an hour ago, he sent a team to search for the situation according to the loop, but until now, there has been no response, and even the radio has lost contact.
He was fully alert.
Such a strange situation had to make him feel fear and hesitation.
Those who are not cautious enough have already been buried in the wasteland with no bones left.
He made up his mind to send out four or five teams to go out to investigate; at the same time, he also ordered the entire team to get ready and planned to set off collectively to investigate the situation back.
Suddenly, someone came to report: "The transport team has been contacted, and it is said that it is on the way back, and it will arrive soon."
Ka Jia frowned immediately: "Why haven't I been able to contact you before?"
"He said that their radio was a bit faulty and had just been repaired. He was afraid that we would be worried here, so he sent a message right away."
Kajia thought about it for a moment, and then ordered: "Go and reply: Damn it, did you kill zombie dogs on the road, so slow? Come back quickly! Half of the spoils will be deducted from you if it's too late!"
After finishing speaking, he walked outside quickly and shouted to the brothers who were getting ready: "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go right away! Don't fucking stuff your bullets, you can take as many things as you want!" Take it, throw everything else away! Hurry up! Get ready to break through! We are being targeted!"
The subordinate who just listened to his order was a little confused.He took two steps to catch up and asked, "Boss, this...I..."
"What are you? Hurry up and spread the word, get your gun and follow the team!"
"Why?" The kid was still in a daze.
Ka Jia knocked him on the head: "Someone is definitely fucking watching us! Blind the other side, it works best, if it doesn't work, you are slow!"
After saying that, he stopped talking to this silly boy, took his own gun, greeted his brothers and prepared to leave the camp.
As soon as he reached the door, he heard a whistling sound from the sky.
His face instantly turned green.
This is the sound of cannonballs!
"Lie down!"
He quickly got down on the ground and cursed endlessly: "Damn! You still use a fucking cannon to blow up... Bah, Bah... Don't let me catch you... Bah..."
The rumbling explosions made him almost unable to hear his own voice. He just tried to vent his fear with swear words and harsh words.
He guessed that someone was watching them, and even felt that the worst could happen-he was surrounded.
But what he didn't expect was that the person staring at him actually had a cannon in his hand!
Fortunately, he was not bad luck, except for buzzing ears and a little dazed head, nothing serious happened.
He squatted up and looked around.
The artillery that bombarded them should not have a large caliber, it seems to be just a mortar or something.If it was really a heavy artillery, the dense coverage of this round of ten or so rounds would kill everyone in the entire camp.
But despite this, in their crude camp without strong fortifications, these mortars still caused good damage.
At a glance, there are at least 20 brothers, either dead or missing arms and legs.
The rest of the people were also stunned.
But now is obviously not the time to be dazed, to stay here is to wait for death.
He yelled: "Rush! Rush! Rush out!"
But at this moment, there were gunshots outside.
Really surrounded!After the artillery fire, the infantry followed up!
The only good news was that the sound of gunfire was still a little far away. Presumably, the small teams he had sent out earlier played a role and exchanged fire with people.
This is the only life left.
He yelled: "Back up! It's the critical time, and I will beat anyone who doesn't want to die!"
At this time, the second round of shelling arrived.
