Chapter 170: Dispatching troops to rescue (Part 2)

The city gate opened a gap that could be entered by one person, and Chen Yun immediately got in through the gap. ReadМ

The soldiers guarding the city came up to him with flattering faces. One of them thought he was a little handsome, and even arranged some hairstyles, hoping that Chen Yun would like him, and then he could eat well, drink hot food, and say "hehehehe."

However, Chen Yun was obviously not interested and had no intention of staying. He went straight to the city lord's palace, leaving the soldier who thought he was handsome and messy in the wind.

The soldiers who were with him also laughed and said: "You said that you just have to do your job well day by day, and you just want to do something else. Deputy City Lord Chen can't even look down on me, just you."

Besides, even if I fall in love with you, can you handle it with your small body?

I have heard that any pretty boy who comes out of Deputy City Master Chen's room is already in great shape if he can still stand up. Most of them go in vertically and come out horizontally. "

"Huh!" The handsome little soldier snorted, twisted his hips and returned to his post, then rolled his eyes at the person who just talked about him.

Chen Yun was very fast and went straight to the city lord's palace, ignoring the greetings of patrolling soldiers along the way.

It was night, and there was no one in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion. Chen Yun glanced at it, then walked to the backyard, went straight to Xu Liang's room, and pushed the door open without knocking.

Xu Liang, who was looking at the information in the room, heard the noise, looked up and saw that it was Chen Yun. He looked up and down and saw that she looked dusty, with a lot of mud on her clothes and face. I must have encountered some trouble on my way to seek help this time.

However, if you can come back smoothly, some troubles will be nothing.

Xu Liang put down the materials in his hand, made a gesture, and said calmly: "Sit down."

After Chen Yun sat down, Xu Liang asked: "What was the result of this trip to the base to ask for help?"

"I met Luo Ren and told him about asking for help. He said that he could agree, but there are conditions." Chen Yun pursed her lips and hesitated for a while. Instead of continuing, she asked: "Let's talk first. Let’s talk about Shao Zhenghong, he went to the Wasteland Military Region to ask for help, has there been any result? "

Xu Liang shook his head. He who had always been calm actually showed a bitter expression and said with a wry smile: "Zheng Hong came back as early as yesterday afternoon. According to him, the Wasteland Military Region, like us, was also besieged by zombies and couldn't escape. Come."

Waving his hand, Xu Liang said: "Only the base can save us right now. You'd better tell Luo Ren what his conditions are."

When Chen Yun heard that the Wasteland Military Region was also being besieged by zombies, she couldn't help showing a look of shock. However, she soon regained her composure. When she raised her eyes, her eyes met Xu Liang's and she saw the waiting in his eyes. No longer hesitating, he spoke:

"Luo Ren's conditions are a bit harsh, and we in Yuhui City can't even bear them."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xu Liang aroused curiosity. What conditions could make Chen Yun, who was straightforward, go around the bush. He stared at Chen Yun and listened to her next words.

Chen Yun glanced at Xu Liang, then withdrew her gaze and said, "Luo Ren's condition..." She bit her lips and was silent for a while. Finally, Chen Yun said decisively: "His condition is that we 'submit'."

"Submit?" A trace of surprise flashed in Xu Liang's eyes, and it was obvious that even he was surprised by such a condition.

After a moment of silence, Xu Liang stared at Chen Yun and said in a solemn tone: "Luo Ren dares to speak like a lion, so is he absolutely sure to help us get out of trouble?"

"I definitely have the ability."

If she had never seen the base's battle to defend the city, Chen Yun would never be so sure. But now she is very sure that the base has the ability to save Yuhui City, but the price of this rescue is indeed too high.

It's so big that I don't know whether it's salvation or destruction.

After all, once they submit to the base, Afterglow City will cease to exist.

Xu Liang was slightly surprised when he saw Chen Yun being so sure, and then asked: "Why?"

Chen Yun didn't hide anything, and told Xu Liang everything about the base defense battle.

"The tactics are very good." Xu Liang couldn't help but praise after hearing this. Then he shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, it does not apply to us in Afterglow City. Just the first two games, each of which took nearly an hour of full-scale shooting, were enough to consume 70% of our ammunition."

"Yeah, I really don't know where Luo Ren got so much ammunition, as well as tanks and armored vehicles. With that number, no military division before the end of the world had such a strong military strength." Chen Yun said with curiosity on his face.

"The military division naturally does not have such strong military strength. Otherwise, Liu Yongnian would have been out of trouble long ago."

Xu Liang suddenly stood up and walked out of the room, looking at the long-lost bright moon in the sky, the light of thought flashing in his calm eyes.

Chen Yun also walked out of the room, looked at him, and asked, "What should we do? Agree or disagree."

Xu Liang withdrew his gaze, walked back to his room with his hands behind his hands, and said at the same time: "Tomorrow, you, me, Shao Zhenghong, managers of various departments, and representative officers at all levels will discuss this matter together."

Turning around, he looked at Chen Yun and said, "You've had a hard time traveling all the way. Go back and rest first."

Although Chen Yun is impatient, she also understands that this kind of thing cannot be rushed, at least there is no result yet. She can only slightly nodded and said, "Okay." Then she left the city lord's palace and returned to her residence.

Sanctuary City No. 1, the ruins of the former city lord's palace.

Xia Chuan sat casually on a piece of broken brick and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. He quickly looked back. At this time, his expression could be described as sad.

In his hand was a letter with Xia Chuan personally writing on the cover.

"Tsk! Alas!"

Xia Chuan sighed, then suddenly rubbed his forehead and laughed again. If anyone were here, he would definitely be able to hear the bitterness in this laughter.

"These zombies will also fight in multiple directions. The military area is besieged and they are unable to send troops to help or even provide ammunition support for their own sake.

As for my No. 1 shelter city, I can save more and more, and I can still last for half a month at most. If the military region is still unable to get out after half a month, I will have no choice but to accompany these more than 100,000 people to death. "

Xia Chuan's tone was filled with helplessness. At this moment, a Royal Army officer wearing gold-rimmed glasses came over. He heard what Xia Chuan had just said, looked at Xia Chuan's sad face, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke. :

"Deputy Commander Xia, my subordinates have an idea."

Xia Chuan raised his head, saw the officer with gold-rimmed glasses, and said, "Oh—Old Song, if you have any idea, just tell me."

Old Song, an officer with gold-rimmed glasses, said: "We can't count on the military region, but there are still two forces that we can ask for help from."

Xia Chuan didn't even think about it and said directly: "You mean Base Luo Ren and Sanctuary City No. 2?"

Xia Chuan was able to think of the two major forces he mentioned so quickly, which was beyond Lao Song's expectation. This made him a little surprised. He nodded and replied: "That's right."

Xia Chuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining: "It's not that I haven't thought about asking for help from these two forces. Needless to say, No. 2 Sanctuary City, we are enemies. It's hard to say whether they can agree.

As for the base, if we ask them to help, we will definitely bleed. The last time we cooperated, we gave the two cities resources and population. "

"Haha..." Old Song smiled and asked: "If we run out of ammunition and the zombies attack the city, what will happen to us and the people in the city?"

"Old Song, I have already thought about your problem. The result is that we" ”

"Alas!" Lao Song clapped his hands and said, "That's it.

Instead of waiting to become food for zombies, it is better to ask the base to send troops to rescue. If Luo Ren opens his mouth, the lion will open his mouth, and we will satisfy him.

To put it bluntly, even if he asks for the population and resources of the entire No. 1 Sanctuary City, I think he can agree to it. As long as it doesn't become food for zombies, what does it matter?

Besides, they are all of the same race. We just asked the people in this city to change their lives and change their rulers. And I heard that life in the base is quite good, and Luo Ren is also a good character, otherwise the commander's daughter would be , How could Miss Liu Lianxin join the base willingly? "

"I have thought about what you said, Old Song, but if we decide in private like this, I am sorry to the commander."

Xia Chuan showed a troubled expression. He is a smart man. Can he not see these pros and cons?

He was just worried about Liu Yongnian. After all, he was from the Wasteland Military Region and was a soldier brought out by Liu Yongnian. In this apocalyptic world, population is productivity. If we give away this entire city's population, wouldn't it be tantamount to betraying the military region?

Therefore, he has been hesitating whether to send a request for assistance to the Wasteland Military Region by letter, asking Liu Yongnian to make a decision.

"Deputy Commander Xia, there are more than 100,000 living people, can you bear to watch the city be destroyed and people die?

You have to distinguish between righteousness and personal feelings.

Besides, I'm not asking you to betray the Commander, and I didn't want to betray the Commander. Isn't it better to just let more than 100,000 people live than to let them all become food for zombies? "

Old Song was serious and thoughtful, with red eyes. Over the past six months, he had seen too many people die, and he wanted from the bottom of his heart to keep the more than 100,000 people in Sanctuary City No. 1 alive.

Xia Chuan also began to waver under Lao Song's persuasion. He looked at Lao Song blankly, took a deep breath, and asked, "What do other people think?"

"Hehehe..."

Seeing Xia Chuan's compromising look, Lao Song seemed to see victory in hand, and couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart. He turned around and shouted in the direction of the military tent: "Deputy Commander Xia wants to know what you think. Come out, everyone.”

swish swish...

As soon as he finished speaking, dense footsteps sounded, and then, in Xia Chuan's sight, all the officers of the Kingdom's army stationed in Sanctuary City No. 1 came out. They looked at each other and pushed each other.

"You said you said..."

"Don't push me, express your position first."

"Momojiji, I'll come first."

A 1.8-meter-tall, well-built Royal Army officer stood up, saluted Xia Chuan, and said: "Reporting to the deputy commander, although it is the end of the world, I still remember the training before joining the army, our responsibilities It is to protect the people, and now that the lives of people all over the city are in danger, we should not sit back and wait for death.

Therefore, I feel that as long as we can save the people in this city, there is no harm in asking for help from other forces.

Moreover, I have met the guards of the base. Their military morals are very high. Hundreds of thousands of people go to the base to live, so they should not suffer oppression. "

"Yes, deputy commander, we can't sit still and wait for death."

"Yes, I have also come into contact with the Guards soldiers. They have strong discipline and will never do anything to bully civilians."

"..."

After the officer finished speaking, the others immediately agreed.

Seeing so many people express their attitudes, Xia Chuan also made up his mind at this moment.

He stood up, glanced at the crowd, and said: "Okay, since everyone has the same idea, I will immediately send a letter to the military district to seek the commander's opinion."

"Not appropriate." Old Song retorted: "We don't have much time left. I think we should directly arrange people to go to the base or No. 2 Sanctuary City for help."

"Old Song is right. Sending a letter to the commander for decision will waste at least two days."

"Indeed, time is tight and every second counts."

"Although our ammunition is expected to last for half a month, it is only an estimate. The actual situation is always much different from the estimate."

"..."

Listening to such a voice, Xia Chuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "Then how about asking for help and informing the commander at the same time?"

From requesting a decision to the current notification, the meaning has completely changed. In other words, even if Liu Yongnian disagrees, it is imperative to ask for help.

"Well, I agree." Old Song was the first to express his opinion.

"I agree too."

"I agree."

"Agree."

"..."

The officers expressed their opinions one after another.

Xia Chuan nodded and continued, "Well, let's discuss now, should we ask for help from the base, or from Sanctuary City No. 2, or both?"

"Then it must be the base, Sanctuary City No. 2 is nothing."

"Yes, Sanctuary City No. 2 is a bunch of rabble, what are they!"

"I choose the base!"

"Base."

"..."

The opinions of the officers were almost one-sided, which was normal. After all, in their eyes, the impression of the base and Sanctuary City No. 2 was that one was an excellent and respectable powerful force. The other was a gathering place for rebels.

In fact, Xia Chuan knew that this would be the result, and the reason he asked the question was just to go through the process.

Xia Chuan pressed his hand, and the officers immediately quieted down. He smiled and said, "Okay, everyone's opinions are clear. Then I will write two letters immediately, one to the base and one to the Wasteland Military District."

The moon sets, the sun rises, and the sky and the earth are clear.

Early in the morning, after a zombie siege, two off-road vehicles sped out of Sanctuary City No. 1, and after leaving the city, they went in two directions, one to the base and the other to the Wasteland Military District.

Three hours after the two vehicles left, there was another zombie siege. After this zombie siege, two more off-road vehicles sped out of the city, one to the base and the other to the Wasteland Military District, but the route had changed.

In this way, this whole day, after three zombie sieges, a total of six off-road vehicles left the city, and the routes of the six vehicles were also different.
