Chapter 163: Troops Assembled

On Xibei Road, an anti-terrorist assault vehicle of the night market’s internal security forces, along with three slightly outdated military green transport vehicles, were heading towards the night market gathering place.

Zhao Lei, chief of staff of the Night Market Internal Security Brigade in charge of this operation, sat in the anti-terrorism assault vehicle and looked at the changes in Xibei Road outside the window. He couldn't help but feel emotional.

"It's only been two or three days, and it's the same again!"

Xibei Road has undergone obvious changes compared to when he came here a few days ago.

As a six-lane road in both directions, Xibei Road had only been cleared to form a single lane barely wide enough for vehicles to pass when he came here last time.

But now, the road near Yezhou University has been completely cleared, and the vehicles that were originally blocking the road have all disappeared.

Just now, he could see a group of survivors wearing yellow vests, operating carts, cranes and other engineering machinery to clear the blocked cars on the road.

This team of yellow vests is the Road Administration Department newly established by Cai Anxin. It was established less than two days ago. Its main function is to comply with the strategic planning of the gathering place and connect important transportation lines.

Xibei Road is the traffic artery of the current night market gathering place. It is an important traffic trunk line connecting the prime minister gathering place, the night market urban area, and the inner security area. Therefore, connecting Xibei Road has become the first key project after the establishment of the Road Administration Section.

Lei Jun, who was in charge of the school's industrial park, immediately contacted Cai Anxin after learning the news. Led by the industrial park, they and the survivors' committee jointly built a KK park belonging to Wild Cars - a car recycling center!

This car recycling center was established based on the industrial park and recruited a large number of survivors of the pre-apocalyptic auto repair industry, who are specifically responsible for identifying recycled cars.

After being appraised by professional auto repair technicians, vehicles that need major repairs will be directly disassembled into parts and stored in different categories; vehicles that can be repaired minor will be stored in various parking lots of the night school according to vehicle type.

Within a car recycling center, the recycling value varies by vehicle type.

Ranked first in the list are heavy transport vehicles and various types of engineering vehicles. These types of vehicles are of great help to various types of construction and are urgently needed in gathering areas. Even if they need major repairs, they will be repaired as much as possible.

The second sequence is sturdy pickup trucks and off-road vehicles. These vehicles have high horsepower and certain defensive capabilities, making them suitable for travel in the apocalypse. If they only need minor repairs, they will be repaired.

The worst category is luxury cars, sports cars, etc., which have poor carrying capacity, low chassis, and no off-road capabilities. These types of cars will basically be dismantled into parts directly, or if a car repair technician likes them, they can keep them in the park to play with. This is considered a top-level employee benefit, as they are directly equipped with luxury cars and there is no budget limit.

As for why they are not given to the top leaders in the gathering place, this involves the so-called "value" issue. Luxury cars before the end of the world have no "value" in the night school gathering place. What is sought after by the top leaders in the gathering place are military vehicles!

Even if you ride in a shabby jeep, it is more prestigious than a luxury car worth millions or tens of millions before the end of the world.

This is because since ancient times, "value" has always closely followed power.

Just like during the European Renaissance, the upper class's morbid worship of syphilis led the lower class to pick up syphilis-containing BYTs and infect themselves manually.

Used by the rich and powerful = advanced

Today, the most powerful group in the gathering place is naturally the military which possesses absolute force and power, so everything the military uses naturally becomes a trend pursued by the gathering place.

"Call the Great Wall! Call the Great Wall!"

"The internal security forces are about to arrive at the gathering place of the Night University! The internal security forces are about to arrive at the gathering place of the Night University!"

"Zizizizi~ Great Wall received!"

After the brigade operations department received Zhao Lei's radio communication, a operations staff officer directly dialed the dedicated line connected to the north gate.

"The internal security forces are about to pass through. Clear a one-way lane for passage within two minutes and maintain order!"

"understand!"

Upon receiving the order, the person in charge of the North Gate temporarily cancelled the two quarantine teams and quickly organized the North Gate staff to clear a one-way lane for cars to pass.

This is a new command system established after the brigade headquarters moved in. Different from the previous command system that only included the troops, this system takes the brigade headquarters as the center and the military lines as the blood vessels, connecting almost all departments in the gathering place.

After the establishment of this new command system, the troops will have the highest level of authority to mobilize the entire gathering place, and all actions must give way to the military's orders. As soon as gunshots are heard, the entire gathering place must accept the dispatch and command of the brigade headquarters, and all work must serve the military!

This not only further strengthened the military's control over the entire gathering place, but more importantly, it enhanced the combat effectiveness of the entire gathering place and achieved true military-civilian coordination.

Five minutes later, as the survivors in line watched in amazement, the internal security force's anti-terrorist assault vehicle slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Anti-terrorist assault vehicle, an old military transport vehicle, two old military transport vehicles, three old military transport vehicles, four...

what?

That's it? That's it?

It's fine if there are no tanks, but why is there only one armored vehicle?

This transport truck feels older than my grandma!

Almost all the survivors in the queue looked disappointed.

Just this morning, they experienced two large-scale scenes of hundreds of modern armored troops crossing the border. Not to mention the armored vehicles, the most important thing was the tanks, which are known as the king of land warfare!

So when we heard the road clearing notice again just now, we were all full of anticipation, hoping to see the big scene again.

But I didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, there were only a few military vehicles, and they looked old and shabby...

This made them, who had just eaten two tables of Manchu Han banquets, feel like seeing a few celery on the table.

"What the hell? It's almost my turn, but I have to queue again just because of these military vehicles?"

"Oh! Who said it wasn't? If we had known there were only a few of them, we wouldn't have given way. Each of us would have held the edge and we would have stepped over it in two moves!"

"It doesn't look like our gathering place, does it?"

"That's definitely not the case. Our gathering place is so luxurious, with all new equipment. The paint on the equipment is fresher than the steamed buns I ate this morning. When it passed by me this morning, it was so bright that it dazzled my eyes!"

"I would be willing to eat delicious food every day just to see this kind of scene!"

"Wow, he's eating and taking things at the same time..."

.....

Zhao Lei sat in the anti-terrorist assault vehicle, feeling the gazes of the survivors. Normally, this was the time to be proud, but today he felt something was weird, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

There seemed to be some guesses in my mind, but they were dismissed.

When the survivors of the apocalypse see the internal security forces, who wouldn’t be filled with respect and expectation?

Well, it must be that the survivors in each place have different physiques.

With this in mind, the Internal Security Force passed the quarantine point and continued to drive north along the highway. Soon, they saw the Yeda gathering area troops parked on the roadside waiting for a long time.

"Huh? No?"
