Chapter 1045 The Beginning of the War, Why Don’t We Join the ‘Western Suburbs’

Chapter 1045 The war is about to begin. How about we also join the ‘Western Suburbs’?

Sunny Harbor, Lightning Wall.

The sky where the fog has disappeared has become a little hazy.

Several mutated migratory birds flew past the urban buildings and fled further away in panic.

After the mist that protected them disappeared, the humans had the absolute upper hand again, and even the powerful radiation beasts became dormant.

It is not difficult for their stupid minds to realize that if they cannot wait for the next chance to mutate again, the best way is to hide.

Otherwise, the bullets ejected from the cold muzzle hitting the body would not be pleasant at all.

Commander Edmund standing on the wall did not talk to his deputies, and even chose to ignore the strategic map hanging on the side.

His eyes were always fixed on what looked like an "air conditioner remote control" in his hand.

On it, there is a huge arrow pointing to

West!

"After the fog disappeared, our sensing of the core became more accurate. It must be over there in the western suburbs!"

"There is a high probability that it is either the flat beach shelter or the giant city shelter."

The guard captain responsible for tracking and finding the lost core said repeatedly.

Each industrial core is unique and is encoded with an unforgeable code from the very beginning.

In order to facilitate management, the code is not inscribed, but a small box similar to a transceiver device.

It is tightly embedded inside the core and will automatically emit information whenever the core is touched.

However, the fog's previous signal barrier was too strong, and the transceiver device could only roughly receive its message in the western suburbs.

But at noon today, the core sent a message again.

This time the position is more accurate. If the distance between the two sides is not too long, it can even be located at a specific point.

“In the western suburbs”

Edmund's face was uncertain, as if he was judging the pros and cons.

Beside him, several deputy commanders wisely kept their mouths shut and did not comment much on this matter.

Nonsense, the person who said he was going to attack the western suburbs has already been assigned to manage the Rangers.

Not only do you have to endure the lingering smell of bedbugs every day, but you also have to take the trouble to teach them tactics.

Although it is not a boring job, it is not as refreshing as standing here and scolding Fang Qiu.

"We can't touch them yet. Yes, we must not scare these people."

After hesitating for a long time, Edmund came back to his senses and affirmed again.

"The Western Suburban Alliance is too far away from the city center. If we attack them rashly, it will cause chaos in the shelters in the city."

"Since the core is with them, that's fine. Let them store it for us first.

"After we deal with these little brats in the southern suburbs, we will go back and teach them a lesson."

There was a hint of certainty and paranoia in his voice.

Perhaps even he himself didn't realize when he lost his previous calmness.

There was silence all around. Except for the sound of construction coming from the new city behind, there was basically no other sound.

Everyone held their breath for fear of making Edmund angry.

After a while, when his mood stabilized a little, Gene, the chief of staff next to him, finally spoke.

"As far as I know, at the gathering place behind the southern suburbs, the Pumpkin Kefu Bunker, they have filed an alliance application with the western suburbs."

"if"

However, before Gene could finish speaking, a hint of surprise and surprise flashed across Edmund's face.

"Wouldn't that be just right? I'm still worried if they are afraid and run away."

"But will they think we are afraid of the Western Suburbs Alliance?"

"Fear?"

Edmund looked a little dissatisfied.

This statement is as if it is because of his decision-making that Sunny Harbor Sanctuary is stigmatized.

To be fair, does anyone in this city really think that Qinggang Sanctuary would be afraid of the three ordinary shelters joining forces? It is obvious that the gap in strength between the two has reached a point where it will be impossible for them to catch up within ten years.

Is it because of the Rangers' defeat last time?

If it weren't for the fear of scaring other shelters in the city and all the gopher guys fleeing, there would be only one shelter left in the city.

The other deputy commander also nodded in agreement.

"The Pumpkin Bunker sent envoys to seek our protection before, but the Rangers' offensive seemed to scare them. In the end, because the Western Suburban Alliance won the battle, they turned there."

"I also heard that there are many shelters in the southern suburbs that want to leave, and then join the western suburbs alliance to seek asylum and join forces?"

"Are you so brave?"

"Who makes the Hunting Tigers still have combat effectiveness? Their record with the Rangers is so impressive that it can make people imagine that they are enough to fight against us."

"No wonder there seem to be a lot of spies coming and going in Gaohuan recently. They are all sent from the southern suburbs to the western suburbs."

Everyone was discussing it.

Edmund frowned and did not interrupt, but his mood became worse.

Maybe we should take a real shot at the Western Suburban League?

What he wants is for all the residents of the shelter to join Qinggang New City and rebuild the city.

If these people think that Sunny Harbor Sanctuary cannot protect them at all, it does not have enough strength.

That's too bad.

However, at this moment, a commander's inappropriate words made him stop this thought quickly.

"Remember our helicopter? There are powerful radiation beasts near the Western Suburban Alliance!"

"If we really want to send troops there, we may have to think carefully about these unexpected threats."

Everyone fell silent and looked at Edmund.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, the commander turned pale with fright and lost all color.

But fortunately, after Edmund got angry last time, he has been consciously controlling his temper recently.

Looking at the silent crowd, he nodded and said.

"If they think we are afraid of the western suburbs, then let them live in their sweet dream. We will not use force to prove the fragility of the western suburbs alliance, but will only give them new owners at the right time."

Hearing this, the commanders and chief of staff Gene standing around all understood and said nothing.

In fact, they don't think now is the right opportunity to attack.

Even if we can win the battle with Xijiao, so what?

Can they be allowed to send residents to the new city obediently, become a hard-working construction worker, and join the homeless team?

The arrogant gopher would not think that he would associate with these bugs.

They must be made to deeply understand that everyone is a member of Qinggang City first, and then a resident of the shelter.

"I'm already hearing that the jaguars are following our example and building cities above their refuges."

"He is very smart, not as brainless as the rumors say, and he also knows how to learn the most powerful shelter in the city."

Edmund drawled his voice, the pictures taken by the drone flashed through his mind, and there was a smile on his face.

How interesting.

It has only been a few days, but the area one kilometer above the Pingtan shelter has been bulldozed and turned into a large construction site.

The residents who came out of the shelter are working hard inside, building various buildings of different styles.

Even the roads and underground pipe networks that were broken due to the war, Liehu actually sent people to deal with them.

Although no suitable road construction materials were found, those unsightly obstacles were finally cleared away.

If only those guys in the southern suburbs knew that Tiger Hunter had become like this, becoming the "licking dog" of Qinggang Sanctuary.

"To deal with this kind of "smart person", we should give enough support and let him practice more."

"Then we can repair less."

Qinggang, southern suburbs.

Large numbers of Legion squads came here through the Gaohuan exit.

The sky that had just cleared completely exposed the remaining traces of the radiation beast in the corner of the city, and conspicuous piles of feces could be seen everywhere.

The fishy smell mixed with the smell of feces floated in the air, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.

However, most people in the Rangers have long been accustomed to this, and many people even lowered their heads to pick up some feces with interest and put it in their backpacks or pockets.

In combat, this is good stuff.

Especially when dealing with delicate gopher guys, just throwing a piece of Shet in their face can make the seemingly strong soldiers collapse instantly.

"Keep your fighting power, keep your focus, keep your fearless will!"

"Remember your identities, you are the invincible Qinggang Legion soldiers and the true warriors of this city!"

"Take the barrel of your gun and stuff it into the mouths of those gopher guys, let them know that everyone is equal under the bullet!"

The legion commander holding a loudspeaker was making a pre-battle call, trying to awaken the will of the people in front of him to fight.

However, he soon wisely chose to give up.

For the Wanderer, the people who can be mobilized by him are the group of people who had a blood feud with the Gopher Man before.

Even if he doesn't say much, this group of people will still burst out with the most violent firepower when facing the gopher man.

The remaining Rangers have no fighting spirit. The fact that they can continue to maintain their formation without dispersing is the result of long-term training.

Let them use an ordinary rifle, or a rifle that may go wrong at any time, to fight the enemy.

The commander believed that he had fulfilled all his responsibilities.

honestly.

If he were a soldier and used such a weapon, he would definitely become a deserter immediately.

"Okay, you can leave."

"Remember, we will replenish the supplies at the supply point at twelve o'clock every day. Only those who have completed the mission can return to the new city."

"You can run away, but I believe you will not choose to live the same endless life of despair as before."

"Embrace a new life and prove yourself with honor in the flames of war!"

After finishing the last scene, the laughing wanderers were able to maintain discipline and leave.

But within a few minutes of walking, more than 90% of the team immediately dispersed into a pile of sand and returned to their usual posture of galloping around the corners of the city.

Someone sat on the ground and began to nibble on the dry food in his backpack, while calculating how many days it would take to complete the mission.

Some people checked the rifles in their hands for fear of getting rusty and jammed again, but they could still hear the sounds of annoyance one after another.

Some people were cursing angrily, as if they couldn't wait to find trouble with the Gopher Man.

But more people still walked aimlessly towards their destination, looking at the team leader from time to time to wait for instructions.

As the new captain of Team 48, Xia Zuo watched all this, but was not in a hurry to intervene.

The last time they attacked the giant city shelter, the defeat was so tragic that only a few people from the entire centurion team survived.

Now the new mission target has become the shelter in the southern suburbs, but it is still the weaker "Dilonghua Shelter".

He did not dare to underestimate it and assigned his former subordinates to count the data first.

Soon, the deputy captain came back and brought very bad news.

"Of the 80 rifles we took out, only 26 were still usable, and the remaining 54 were all rusted. The 8 light machine guns can all be used, but the problem is that the machine gun bullets given are only half a box. There are 40 pistols, which is normal, and there are 15 submachine guns."

"To be optimistic, even if we can get new ones at the supply point tomorrow, we only have 70 people's combat power now."

A team of 100 wanderers is standardly equipped with 60 rifles, 100 pistols, and 40 submachine guns.

Xia Zuo specially assigned people to grab 20 more rifles.

But in the end, nearly 60% of them were found to be rusty and basically unusable.

It can be imagined that if the standard quantity is used, only one-fifth of the 100-man team now has a rifle.

"What about the other stuff? How is the rust situation?"

"Less than 20 grenades are usable, and the remaining 200 are all gone. Only one of the six rocket launchers is usable, and the other five have serious signs of rust. There are also grenade launchers, all of which are wiped out."

"What about the horse, let us fight the enemy with bayonets?"

"Or we can join the Western Suburbs!"

Xia Zuo cursed without thinking, causing many wanderers around to nod in agreement.

Since the last war, the rust phenomenon has been like a curse, plaguing every corner of the Qinggang Shelter.

Not only weapons and equipment, but even the spoons and forks used for eating on weekdays have been infected with this strange phenomenon.

As long as it is exposed to the air for a day, fine rust will adhere to the surface.

As long as it is not handled in time for three days, the rust will appear cracked inside, and the reliability will be greatly reduced.

According to the explanation of the researchers in the shelter.

This phenomenon is an abnormal reaction caused by a sudden drop in air humidity, which will automatically resolve after a while.

Seeing that the sun had actually come out, no one was suspicious, and they could only keep complaining about the inconveniences caused by rust.

And for the Wanderers who set foot on the battlefield, one of the main reasons for the lack of morale was precisely this.

If the weapons are unreliable, what's the point of fighting?

Even if the new decree is changed now, the Corps will not be held accountable for losing the gun.

But this broken fire stick is really hard to hold!

"Let's go, anyway, we have to rush to the mission site today to settle down and find a place to live."

"This is a protracted war until they can't help but surrender."
