Chapter 1114: Timely Relief, New Recruits Report!

Civilized era.

Four thousand kilometers may not be an exaggerated number. Even ordinary people can drive the entire distance in a few days.

But in the wasteland.

The straight-line distance between Tianyuan Territory and the Giant Tree Root Sea is a full 3,200 kilometers.

If you include the detours due to terrain, this number will increase by at least a thousand kilometers.

If you just hike there every day, it will take at least two months, or even longer due to some changes that happen along the way.

Even if you have an off-road vehicle, it will take at least half a month and almost a month to arrive.

This was also the reason why Bao Lei repeatedly asked for help, but the territory was unable to send anyone to support him.

The distance between the two sides is so far that it is impossible to control the accidents that may happen in the middle!

However, the Kyushu Great Rift Valley base is different.

According to what those who escaped and the captured institute guards said.

Starting from the Tianyuan territory, you only need to pass through an easy-to-walk plain, and then pass through three or five hills to reach the Great Rift Valley base in the center of the mountains.

The straight-line distance between the two sides is about 800 kilometers, and even if there is a detour, it will not exceed 1,000 kilometers.

And most importantly, there is still a route map they explored on the airship, which saves 80% of the trouble.

Even if Sumo considered all the accidents, he had to admit it.

That research institute is indeed within the reach of the territory.

If it hadn't been for the Metal Sigh disaster, it would have only taken a day and a half at most to get there by car.

Even if you get familiar with the route, it’s not impossible to compress the time into one day.

However, the distance is controllable.

But launching a war that spans a thousand kilometers is definitely not an easy task.

Let’s not talk about how to solve the logistics.

If there is a head-on firefight, even if you have a lot of intelligence.

Just relying on the combat effectiveness of the current Tianyuan Army and ordinary guards, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

so

"It seems that it depends on the quality of the veterans supported by the Hunting Tiger."

After collecting enough information, Sumo walked out of the farm yard and looked to the west.

Those veterans are the only mature combat forces currently available.

Even though the quality of individual soldiers has declined much compared to ten years ago, the hastily launched invasion war does not actually value individual combat effectiveness, but rather tests the collaborative ability of a group.

As long as it is commanded properly, it may not be able to exert its power compared to the past.

Of course, we have to wait until the Metal Sigh disaster is over.

Although it is a good opportunity to invade while all modern weapons are on strike.

But even if you think about it with your feet, this is the time when the other party is most vigilant.

Qinggang Shelter can use some special materials to make city cannons to defend against possible accidents.

A college research institute with stronger research capabilities will most likely have other alternative weapons.

Use cold weapons to invade?

Although the Pingtan Army is powerful in combat, it is only strong with guns.

If you really switch to a big sword, you may not be able to defeat the Tianyuan Army with strong physical fitness due to attribute bonus.

Or use energy stone bombs to blast it directly?

This is obviously not the best choice. It is like gambling on the strength of the opponent's counterattack.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, even if they know that after the Metal Sigh disaster is over, the opponent will quickly restore modern firepower.

Sumo also decided to wait until the disaster was over in half a month.

It just so happens that we can wait until Yehu borrows the person and get familiar with him for a period of time.

Wait until the factory reopens to produce enough equipment and ammunition.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping firewood.

Even if the opponent's counterattack is extremely fierce, it can still test the opponent's bottom line through a steady stream of attrition wars.

Even if it is a loss of some supplies.

It's better than casualties.

It is February 7, Year 2 of the Wasteland Calendar, and there are only ten days left before the disaster ends.

Yehu's integration and selection of veterans is not slow. In other words, he has already prepared a list of optimized personnel.

It only took two days. Early in the morning, someone sent someone to deliver the news.

A total of two thousand people.

Already in the shelter, busy packing up belongings.

The departure this time is the same as the residents who were eliminated in the past.

They will permanently become volunteers stationed in Tianyuan's territory in Pingtan Sanctuary, obeying Tianyuan's orders.

It can be said that except for Pingtan being their hometown, all the remaining relationships have been completely severed.

Dungeon Office.

"This hunting tiger is really generous. He said he was borrowing people, but he sent them over without any other thoughts and said, should we place these people in Hope Village?"

Su Deben had already rushed over, his face full of excitement.

The little fight with more than a hundred members of the Tianyuan Army was really not fun. Even arranging a basic military formation was a bit difficult.

Now that two thousand people have joined, the defense strength of the entire territory can be considered reasonable.

Moreover, these two thousand people are all Blue Star people and can be regarded as his fellow villagers.

Su Deben has absolute confidence in commanding and training these people, and it won't take long for Yehu to look at him with admiration.

"Let's put them in the empty room over at Longteng Village for the time being. Don't let them have too much contact with the villagers until we have screened these people."

Although the hunting tiger sounds nice, who knows if there will be some thorns among them.

It just so happens that the factories in Longteng Village are currently shut down, and the large-scale staff dormitories built are still empty.

It takes just one week to place these people and train and select one.

Qualified people can naturally become the external combat force of the territory, and unqualified ones can only be sent to the guard team for training.

"That's fine, I will pick out those who can no longer go to the battlefield."

The matter of contacting veterans was handed over to Su Deben.

Su Mo simply became a hands-off boss.

Obviously, when it comes to combat, he can still command through the suppression of knowledge and the breadth of thinking.

But when it comes to training and screening, this is far beyond the scope of his skill tree.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Are you worried that Su Deben will commit crimes or be self-reliant?

Instead of worrying about this, it is better to turn your mind to more important things.

Not long after Su Deben left, the team heading to the Pumpkin Bunker also sent good news.

The four fuel rods mentioned by Catalina were found!

It is placed in an inconspicuous warehouse in the bunker, covered with a thick layer of dust for camouflage.

In addition, the territory does not have to worry about the bunker's energy supply after taking away the fuel rods.

The running nuclear power plant cannot be stopped or moved away.

The fuel rods inside can at least supply more than 100,000 kWh of electricity, enough to maintain the bunker's consumption for less than a year.

This time is enough for the territory to send engineers to gradually replace the original energy system with an energy stone system.

"With two million kWh of electricity, it is still unlikely to send a large number of people to the giant tree roots, but at least there are means of support."

"One hundred people at a time"

Sending only one hundred ordinary players over obviously cannot change the current predicament of the giant tree roots.

What Bao Lei needs is immediate combat power and weapons that can allow him to maintain order.

Su Mo does not intend to use both opportunities at the giant tree roots, so the people who go there for the first time must be able to play a role.

It seems that we still have to rely on those veterans.

Taking the list sent by Liehu on the table, Su Mo flipped through it, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

I have to say that these two thousand people are really timely.

Not only did they solve the problem of attacking the research institute, but they could also alleviate the difficulties in the giant tree root sea area to a certain extent.

I just don't know how much of their combat power is left.

The next day.

It was about ten o'clock in the morning.

On the west side of the warning wall.

A group of "veterans" dragging scattered luggage finally lined up in a long line and appeared in the sight of the patrol guards.

It's a bit shabby to say.

As veterans who have worked hard in Pingtan Shelter for half a lifetime and shed a lot of blood.

They did not enjoy any special treatment when they left. The only thing they got was a light-hearted sentence from the deputy manager "Jin Guqiao".

As for compensation materials?

Sorry, Pingtan Shelter is in an emergency state now, and it will be reissued when it is rich in the future.

Moreover, according to what Liehu said when selecting personnel.

These people are not going to Tianyuan Territory to suffer.

On the contrary, compared with Pingtan Shelter, Tianyuan Territory has a better environment and more generous treatment.

Only the real elite Pingtan Army, those who have truly contributed to the Pingtan Refuge.

can have this opportunity to be selected, other young people can't go even if they want to.

Tsk.

Do you really take us for fools?

Pushing the cart, walking in the team, 'Yu Ran' spat lightly, raised his head and looked at the high wall in the distance.

Wow, it's really magnificent!

Compared with the descriptions of those who have been to this Tianyuan territory, it is more real and more spectacular!

The three-meter-high concrete brick wall is like a long dragon, stretching out on the ground.

Looking to both sides, there is no end in sight, which is enough to prove that the wall is at least two or three kilometers long.

In addition, the watchtower built on the high wall looks quite extraordinary.

Yu Ran can already vaguely see the guard standing in the watchtower, talking to the patrol personnel below.

Not long after, the small door under the high wall opened.

Several people walked out of it and met with Wang Qian, who was in charge of the team, and completed the handover procedures for the volunteers.

"Brothers, I can only send you here. The rest of the journey depends on you."

"Believe me, this is definitely the beginning of your new life, and it is also an opportunity for you to return to the ground as a human being to see this magnificent world."

"Don't be confused. After the age of 40, you should also pursue your own future!"

"Don't be sad. If anyone misses home, Pingtan Shelter welcomes you to come back at any time."

After the handover, Wang Qian held a loud speaker and said a few polite words.

Seeing that the handover team began to separate from the veteran team and return to the Pingtan Shelter.

Some emotional veterans wiped their tears on the spot.

Although the remaining ones tried hard to control their facial expressions, they were also full of mixed feelings in their hearts, which could not be described in words.

More than 40 years.

Speaking of it, most of their lives have indeed been completed.

Among the two thousand people, there are as many as 1,500 people who exceed this number, and the remaining 500 have about one or two years left.

They were all elites who grew up with the Tiger Hunters.

Unfortunately, the traces of time left on them were too obvious.

Perhaps it was because the wounds left after the battle were not treated in time, and eventually deteriorated into a stubborn disease that was difficult to solve.

Perhaps because they did not receive proper psychological counseling, they already had a deep-seated aversion to the battlefield.

Compared to the young hunters, their bodies and mentality had become those of the elderly.

Would this strange Tianyuan territory need a group of elderly people?

With a nervous mood, the veterans began to enter in the order of the team.

Yu Ran also mixed in the team, moving forward with his head covered.

His mind was a little confused at the moment, and he felt a little dizzy.

It was not because of the chicken soup Wang Qian had just given him, but because he had set out too early in the morning and did not eat, so he had a hypoglycemic attack.

Of course, the Pingtan Shelter was not lacking the last nutritious meal for these people.

But most people were afraid that they would miss something when they were packing up, and they checked again after getting up in the morning, and missed the opening time of the internal canteen.

There was no way, it was impossible to try to change the rules of the shelter, especially for those of them who were about to leave.

Then they could only go on the road with an empty stomach.

After finally queuing up under the city wall, Yu Ran was already a little dizzy from the dense crowd.

As soon as he heard the guard standing at the door calling his name, he quickly rushed up with his head covered.

"Yu Ran, male, age 39, scout, served as a squad leader under the reconnaissance brigade, participated in 39 battles."

Some unfamiliar Blue Star language sounded in his ears, and he read out simple information.

"Yes, it's me!"

Yu Ran nodded quickly, and took out a small card from his pocket and handed it over.

This is the identity card issued by the superiors before departure, which is used to identify everyone in Tianyuan Territory.

The guard took it and nodded after taking a look, with a smile on his face.

"No problem, Captain Yu Ran, welcome to join Tianyuan Territory."

"Please don't walk around after entering. We have set up corresponding signs for new recruits. Please follow the signs on the signs to the corresponding locations."

"This is your temporary identity card, please keep it, all activities in the territory require this card."

The small card handed over was swiped on the machine, a beep sounded, and it was handed back by the guard.

Yu Ran was a little confused and was carried forward by the crowd.

He wanted to ask what the sign was, but when he walked into the high wall, he looked up.

A total of five large signboards the size of a small truck have been erected on the ground, which is indeed very conspicuous.

From left to right, they are written in Blue Star language.

Recruit Canteen, Recruit Supplies Department, Central Notice, Recruit Registration Office, Recruit Pick-up Area.

"What is this?"

Having never seen such a scene, many veterans who entered first gathered in front of the signboard to look at it.

Yu Ran pushed the wheelbarrow in a daze, holding the luggage with one hand and separating the crowd with the other hand, barely squeezing in front of the most eye-catching central notice in the middle.

But when he looked up, he became even more confused.
