Chapter 243: Preparation for the Assault
Soon, what happened here was known to Ji Qinglai, the commander of the third company left behind by Cai Wenjie to defend the gathering place. To be more precise, he was startled by the sudden explosions and gunshots.
"Quick! Go and see what's going on at the gate!"

"yes!"
Ji Qinglai was originally in the conference room in the No. 2 military camp, discussing with other officers how to manage the security of the gathering place or other security work during the two days when the leader, Cai Wenjie, was away. Just before the discussion was about to end, he was Everyone who was having a heated discussion was disturbed by the sudden gunshots and explosions.
The shocked Ji Qinglai immediately sent soldiers outside the conference room to go to the gate to learn the truth.
"Could there be mutated zombies attacking the city? Company commander! Order me to take people to support the gate!"
An Zaizhong, the platoon leader of the third company, stood up with a worried look on his face, and then said loudly, not only the first platoon leader, the second platoon leader, and the third platoon leader, also like An Zaizhong, and Ji Qinglai asked for orders to support the gate.
As for the officers under him, who looked anxious, Ji Qinglai returned to his previous calmness from the surprise. He first comforted his officers, and then started to use the communication terminal to contact the soldiers currently stationed there. Officer at the gate.
"Don't be anxious. Now the gunshots and explosions are gone. This can only mean two results. One is that the garrison at the gate has solved the problem. The other is that the garrison at the gate has already solved the problem in just a few minutes. They were completely wiped out. I donβt believe there will be a second result, so my guess is that the situation at the gate has been solved by them themselves, and we just need to wait here with peace of mind for the outcome of the matter. Besides, we still have this "
Ji Qinglai continuously contacted the officers at the gate, while holding the X1 communication terminal he had just received, he waved to the other officers.
Just at this time, the communication with the gate was connected. Because the video call was used, Ji Qinglai could easily understand what was going on at the gate through the communication terminal.
"I am the commander of the third company, Ji Qing is here! Tell me what happened to you? Why are there gunshots and explosions?"
"Report! Twenty minutes ago, a group of thugs riding modified motorcycles appeared here. Because of some things, we have wiped out all of them, leaving only one alive. I am now interrogating the only remaining person. Come down here alive to get information!β
After listening to the young officer's words, Ji Qinglai began to think for a moment, and then asked.
"Then have you asked anything now?"
"Report! We have figured out part of their information, and the remaining information is still being collected!"
"Really? Then please make a copy of all the information and send it to me later."
"Yes! Got it!"
At this time, the soldiers sent by Ji Qinglai also arrived at the scene, and then they shouted loudly without thinking carefully.
"What happened here!"
Just as the soldier was shouting loudly, Ji Qinglai's voice rang directly through the communication terminal.
"Okay, Xiao Li, stop yelling and come back!"
"yes!"
The soldier who was called Xiao Li by Ji Qinglai ran all the way to the gate. He did not wait for a second and was directly called back by Ji Qinglai. Even so, the soldier named Xiao Li did not complain at all. He obeyed the order obediently and ran back to the second military camp.
Half an hour later, a page full of information was delivered to Ji Qinglai.
βNot bad, careful enoughβ
When Ji Qinglai took a cursory glance at the information in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
The paper in front of Ji Qinglai was densely written with a large number of words, such as how many people were in the thug group, whether they were adults or children, men or women, or where were the strongholds of these thugs? So what about the weapons and equipment, what bad things he has done, or what good things he has done, everything is clearly written here.
Ji Qinglai read this page of paper at a slightly slow speed and memorized as he read. Basically, Ji Qinglai memorized all the contents in his mind in a short period of time.
"I didn't expect that their stronghold is so close to us, and I have never found them. It turns out that the stronghold of these thugs is not far away from our Xinguang gathering place, only less than 30 kilometers away."
The distance between these thugs' stronghold and Cai Wenjie's Xinguang gathering place is no more than 50 kilometers at all, and because they were hiding under a cave, they had never encountered Cai Wenjie's motorcade before, even Cai Wenjie's system satellite You can't see directly underground, so you didn't encounter any zombies the last time you surrounded them.
"There are only two hundred people in total, and most of them are abducted women. It seems that they are not a big force. It seems that there is no need to report it to the chief. I can solve it myself."
After talking to himself, Ji Qinglai immediately summoned the soldiers training outside.
"This is a rescue operation. Our mission is to rescue the abducted women and eliminate the remaining thugs! Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Very good! Listen to my order! Stay in the third row, and the rest will follow me!"
"yes!"
Because Cai Wenjie took away all the armored vehicles, Ji Qinglai could only apply to the quartermaster for the use of the second-level vehicles, that is, non-military vehicles, such as buses, coaches, and money transporters.
Fortunately, the quartermaster still had a civilian version of the domestically produced Hummer, the [Dongfeng Warrior], which he had found when he went out before.
Although it is not as good as a real military vehicle, it is enough for now.
After wearing a complete set of individual exoskeleton armor, Ji Qinglai and his soldiers immediately boarded the transport vehicle with their weapons. Because Cai Wenjie had said before that he could handle all the things in the gathering place by himself, Ji Qinglai did not report this rescue operation to Cai Wenjie.
Because the location of this rescue operation was an underground air-raid shelter, Ji Qinglai specifically instructed his soldiers to make protective preparations and prepare sufficient flash bombs and tactical equipment such as stun bombs.
In the narrow underground space, there is nothing better than flash bombs and stun bombs.
Not only that, this time Ji Qinglai even asked the soldiers to carry several shotguns and directional door-breaking explosives, which were specifically used to deal with the explosion-proof doors and various doors in the hollow holes below.
