It was already evening when Lao Li and Qin Sheng finished their free climbing, and it was late at night when they returned to Wall No. 74 to report the news.
When the news of the attack on the reinforcements of the No. 73 barrier came back, all the Zhou troops were silent. Lao Li asked: "Since the Qing family has already passed the news to you, why don't you call in more troops? "
As a result, the commander of Zhou's troops stationed at Barrier 74 replied: "I originally wanted to mobilize more troops, but didn't something happen to Barrier 73? Who would have thought of this? It wasn't because of the fall of East Lake at Fortress 73. The support troops had already arrived."
Old Li suddenly fell silent, because their knights were actually involved in this matter. Although only one person was present, after all. Yes, he participated, so if we really want to strictly speaking, all the people with ulterior motives in Barrier 73 that day were the accomplices of this experimental subject.
Of course, Lao Li would think so, but others would not. For example, Ren Xiaosu felt that this matter was caused by Huo Zhong and Anjing Temple and had nothing to do with him...
At this midnight, it was already time to go to bed, but Zhou's troops All the soldiers were pulled to the fortifications, leaving only a small number to take turns.
The information Qing gave to Zhou said that when they faced only a few thousand experimental subjects, they already had a headache. The strength of their skin and muscles could not even be penetrated by bullets, so they had to use heavy machine guns. No.
But the opponent is extremely fast and can easily get into the blind spot of your shooting field of vision. The reaction nerves of ordinary soldiers cannot keep up with their movements.
When the speed and power exceed two or three times, ordinary troops on the battlefield will feel like they are being crushed.
It's like ordinary people's troops are pressed to slow down, but the opponent is moving at normal speed. If they fight like this, even if they have thermal weapons, they will suffer heavy losses.
Although you can kill many experimental subjects, they don't care about the casualties at all. They take away your barrier and directly use your residents to make up for its losses!
Lao Li glanced at Qin Sheng and said: "Originally, after you became a knight, you should immediately go to a market town to stay for a year. You couldn't use your abilities, or even the wilderness survival skills I taught you. , but now at this critical moment, you must first help the Zhou family defend against foreign enemies."
Qin Sheng nodded, he understood the importance.
At this time, there are no people in the market town outside the barrier. Even the refugees have moved into the barrier to build fortifications. This is probably the first time for the refugees to enter the barrier, but they were also taken along to locate them. anklet.
When the war is over, these refugees will be taken out.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu was leading Fang Zhi and others quietly to the outskirts of the construction site. He whispered: "Is there anything else valuable on you?"
Fang Zhi nodded: "We collected 30,000 yuan in cash and five watches."
While speaking, Fang Zhi had a pained expression on his face. You must know that his own watch canIt was very expensive, costing more than 200,000 when I bought it.
In the end, Ren Xiaosu first exchanged his watch for a bunch of grain. The officer in charge of taking care of the grain almost laughed out loud. Anyway, these snacks were not his own, but belonged to the Zhou Clan Barrier. He could get one. A little bit of food in exchange for a famous watch, why not?
More than ten bags of food were exchanged, which was enough for all of them to eat for at least half a month. However, Ren Xiaosu did not put it into the storage space, so Fang Zhi and the others had to carry it...
Immediately afterwards, Ren Xiaosu took the remaining 30,000 in cash and five watches and asked the person responsible for guarding the construction site to let them leave.
The officer in charge of supervising the construction site also said: Don’t go out after you go home. If you are caught again, there is nothing the gods can do.
There are more than 2,000 people on the construction site where Ren Xiaosu and the others are located. There are so many workers that they have no place to live and can only sleep on the ground.
So even if there are ten or so people missing, no one will notice.
Fang Zhi felt very strange when he walked out of the construction site: "He's out now? Are we being released now?"
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him: "I'm just arresting you. To work, we don’t have to line up to be shot. There are so many people working, and there is no shortage of us. The people guarding the construction site are private troops. What kind of discipline can these private troops have? ”
The various consortiums are so close? The establishment of private troops has been slowly reduced over the years, and maybe this abnormal existence will disappear in a few years.
According to Zhang Jinglin, the barrier managers were all elected at the beginning. The consortium was not strong at that time. Some managers held troops and could even compete with the consortium.
But gradually, the power of the consortium is getting stronger and stronger, and the status of the manager is getting weaker and weaker. The private army is just a fig leaf for his manager. In the end, it is corroded by the consortium with addictive cigarettes. dropped.
Nowadays, the consortium has begun to directly replace the managers, just like Luo Lan did not have an official position at Barrier 113, but only managed the entire barrier secretly.
Now, the consortium has taken over all the barriers openly, so there is no need for private troops to exist.
Many officers in the private army are also aware of this. They know very well that the consortium will not want waste like them, and they can simply earn a little bit to live the rest of their lives.
A group of people walked sneakily on the street, and from time to time they had to follow Ren Xiaosu to avoid passing military vehicles. It took them two hours to get to the hotel where Li Ran and the others were staying. Along the way, Mr. Ren Xiaosu I feel that something is wrong tonight. This barrier is particularly "lively", as if a fight is about to begin tonight.
After entering the hotel, Li Ran and others had been sitting in the hotel lobby. Originally, Li Ran wanted to go back to the room, but Zhou Yingxue insisted on sitting in the lobby. She said that Ren Xiaosu could not stay at the construction site for too long. Maybe he would escape as soon as it gets dark.
As expected, when Zhou Yingxue saw Ren Xiaosu, she rushed over happily, only to be beaten by a group of people again.The stench was gone.
Li Ran pinched his nose and said, "You guys should take a shower quickly."
"Why bother taking a shower?" Ren Xiaosu frowned and said, "Pack your things, we will We have to leave the barrier."
"Why do we have to leave the barrier?" Li Ran exclaimed, "We have just arrived and the concert hasn't even been held yet."
Ren Xiaosu ignored her. At first glance, I really don’t know the importance of it. When will you hold a concert?
He said to Zhou Yingxue: "Use your ability to dig a tunnel or something outside the wall. We will use the tunnel to leave."
"Tunnel?" Fang Zhi was confused: "How wide? "The tunnel?"
"One person is wide," Ren Xiaosu looked at Fang Zhi.
"What about our speakers and musical instruments?" Fang Zhi exclaimed: "Those musical instruments, a trumpet costs over 100,000 yuan."
All these words Ren Xiaosu said he was confused. Are musical instruments so expensive?
The ten Wang soldiers in plainclothes next to them said: "I don't think we need to leave. Even if the Qing army comes, they won't do anything to the residents of the barrier. We can stay in the hotel with peace of mind. There is no need to be afraid. When the time comes, I will negotiate with them as an officer of the Wang family, and they will definitely be willing to let us go. After all, the Qing family will not offend the Wang family after going to war with the Zhou family."
