Chapter 1286: Snakes and Rats Are in the Same Nest, Use the Same Trick Against Them!
The surging river water brought a strong chill, and a layer of mist lingered on both sides of the river bank.
When Sabio came to the bottom of the river embankment with five large pieces of dynamite, there were already four familiar figures busy here.
"Arney, Harry, Blitz Seamus, Honey Seamus!"
With the flickering light of the fire, Sabio could see the faces of these people clearly and couldn't help but exclaimed.
His voice echoed under the empty river embankment, breaking the deathly silence.
Several people were responsible for guarding the dock tonight, but now they appeared here at the same time.
"It's actually you"
"Where's Iztok? It's not like you survived."
"It's really strange. We bet that the person who dies will definitely be you."
Hearing the voice, several people who turned around were a little surprised when they saw Sabio's face full of "wisdom".
Dock guards work in teams of two.
The smarter Iztok did not survive, but Sabio, a fool, was qualified to join.
"The one who died must be me!"
Sabio looked around viciously, somewhat dissatisfied with the malicious ridicule of several people.
However, after thinking about his current situation the next second, he felt like a balloon that had been popped and softened.
"Everyone, do you know what just happened? These two guys, Jason and Mircea, are absolutely crazy. They actually shot Iztok to death with their crossbows!"
"I can assure you that Iztok didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy. In a swish, they shot him directly through the heart!"
Mentioning the horrific scene that just happened in front of him, Sabio was so frightened that big drops of cold sweat broke out on his head.
Until now, he still doesn't understand how Iztok offended these two people, so that he was killed.
"besides"
"My dear, I suggest you keep your mouth shut and get to work quickly. Mircea should have told you the consequences of not posting these five explosives within half an hour, right?"
The burly Harry sneered:
"And you stupid pig-like brain still doesn't understand? From the moment you came here, we are traitors of the Red Flower Gang. If we are caught, you and I will die ten times over."
The thought of handing in the certificate of surrender, becoming a traitor to the territory, and having to explain to Sabio.
In the shadows.
Brother Simo's teeth were itching with hatred, and he snorted coldly and walked towards the red marked spot on the river embankment where no explosives had been placed.
Only Arne did not want to give up uniting any unlucky guy who was forced to die.
"Harry is right, Sabio, you should understand the consequences if the river embankment is dug up by explosives and the river water pours into the territory. Yes, we have been forced by them to a point of no return. Resistance is There is no way to resist. Think carefully about how to escape after the explosion."
Although the natural river embankment blocks the erosion of the river water, it also buries a huge hidden danger!
The overall water level of the Julongxian River is slightly higher than the ground. Once the embankment breaks, it will immediately pour into the surrounding areas.
In addition, the terrain of the Honghua Gang's territory is still a buffer corridor.
Gathering Place No. 1 and Gathering Place No. 2 are exactly at the lower center of the buffer zone.
If the river embankment is blown open at night, the raging river water will instantly submerge the foundation that everyone has worked so hard for months to build!
"Why, it's not good for them!"
Although Sabio has Sabi in his name, he is also quite stupid.
But being able to survive the disaster in the wasteland a year and a half ago and successfully survive until now still has a bit of survival instinct.
Arne explained a few words, and he immediately asked the core question.
"You ask me, I'd rather ask them."
"It's not just Jason and Mircea, there are many rebels. There are at least thirty people on duty tonight!"
Just as he was saying this, there was another rustling sound coming from above the river embankment, and another person was seen walking down from the shadows.
After taking a closer look at the people standing below, there was immediately a cry:
"Oh my God, Marcelino must be crazy. He killed Hayden and asked us to stick explosives to blow up the river embankment and help the dwarves invade the territory!"
"What, helping the dwarves invade the territory?!"
Sabio felt cold all over. The explosive in his hand had not been ignited yet, but it was so hot that no one could hold it firmly.
Help the dwarves?
Are these guys crazy?
With the lord Ji Wuming leading people to invade the dwarf territory to loot supplies again and again, it is not an exaggeration to say that the two parties are now mortal enemies.
Many people in the territory were speculating when the dwarf would come for revenge, but they did not expect that this move would be a fatal move.
They are actually secretly wooing humans, hoping to work together inside and outside to break the dykes of the Dragon Immortal River and flood the entire territory!
How many people are going to die?
"enough!"
Arne suddenly shook his head and shouted angrily, slightly irritated.
"Whether they are working for the dwarves or working for the administrator of any gathering place in the territory, this is not what we need to pay attention to now.
The most important thing for us now is to survive. If we can't finish all these explosives, you, me, him, we will all die soon! "
"As for what consequences this explosive will bring, that is something that the devil lord should consider!"
Arne said as he walked away angrily.
Several people present were silent, knowing why he suddenly became so angry.
During the previous invasion of the dwarves, Arne's brother unfortunately died on the way.
Although the territory issued a fairly generous pension, this still could not change Arne's hatred for the dwarves and the lord Ji Wuming!
Now, he didn't expect that he would be forced into the battle between the dwarves and the Red Flower Gang again.
It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.
"Get to work quickly."
Sabio's expression was solemn, and he kept watching Arne's figure disappear into the darkness, and then he walked heavily in the opposite direction of the river embankment holding the explosives.
The entire temporary dock occupies about two kilometers of the river embankment and is not large in scale.
In each red circle on the river embankment, an explosive that can be timed to explode needs to be placed.
After the explosives are placed, the surrounding conspicuous clay must be wiped away as required.
Sabio counted, not counting the places where explosives had been placed and the clay had been wiped off, there were still forty or fifty red circles waiting to be placed.
This means that at least hundreds of explosives were placed along the entire river embankment.
Once the timer expires, an explosion occurs.
In an instant, the entire river embankment will completely collapse, and the vast river water will flow directly into the territory.
It's unclear how much damage was done, but the wheat that was planted
Sabio knelt down and couldn't help but shudder, feeling a little scared and a little lucky at the same time.
"No, you really plan to plant explosives. If you do, you will be their accomplice."
Realizing that Sabio had started working, the man who had come down before chased after him again and asked eagerly.
"We can go back and tell the lord, you know, this must be a great achievement."
"Okay, then you go ahead, I support you."
Sabio shrugged and responded casually:
"Darren, I believe in your courage, but you shouldn't believe that I have the same courage as you, right?"
"Damn it!"
Darren was a little angry:
"You should know the consequences of colluding with aliens. This is not surrendering to the enemy, this is becoming a traitor to humanity!"
"Then? They are all dead. Will the dead stand up and tell others that we are traitors?"
Sabio even made a little joke.
"I think at this time, we should quickly place explosives and find a suitable sampan."
"If the river collapses, I can't imagine what will happen to the boats docked."
"Go away, if you don't want to go, I will go alone."
Darren cursed angrily, and left with the explosives in hand.
But looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he had no intention of informing the territory at all, but had compromised on this frivolous reality!
"Hey, I'll tell you"
Sabio shrugged, not surprised.
But after lowering his head, he muttered in a voice that only he could hear:
"But it's weird."
"If this river is so important, why would Ji Wuming be so confident in arranging for us to garrison it?"
The next day.
When Liu Zhi woke up from his sleep, the fleet was less than 400 kilometers away from the Honghua Gang.
Compared with the embarrassment of unpowered boats on the river.
The fleet equipped with energy stone engines seemed to be teleporting, traveling nearly a thousand kilometers in one night.
"Brother Liu is awake. Go and wash up quickly. We have all finished breakfast."
After Liu Zhi regained consciousness for a while, he opened the door and went up to the first deck.
Song Chunrui, Wang Bi, and Pang Pangyuan were already chatting by the guardrail while enjoying the river breeze.
"You guys got up so early?"
"It's not too early." Pang Pangyuan smiled and replied: "It's almost eleven o'clock. Brother Liu seems to have slept late last night, didn't he?"
"Eleven o'clock?"
Liu Zhi shook his heavy head and quickly opened the game panel to confirm the time.
"Damn, I obviously went to bed very early, why did I sleep until now?"
It was clear that sweet dreams were still lingering when I first fell asleep, but in the second half of the night, nightmares came one after another.
I always remember what seemed to happen in the middle, but when I think about it carefully, it seems that it was all a fantasy in a dream.
Realizing that there were less than four hours left before returning to the territory, Liu Zhi quickly went to the cabin to wash up.
After washing up, it was just in time for the fleet's lunch.
"Hey, Lord Liu didn't come over this morning. Does that mean he has no appetite?"
Cui Lu walked in after washing his hands, glanced at Liu Zhi, who had two huge dark circles under his eyes, and said with some surprise:
"I've always heard people say that people are timid when they are close to home. It seems that Lord Liu is not immune to this."
Liu Zhi stood up with an embarrassed look on his face, shook his head quickly and said:
"Maybe, I don't know what happened. I fell asleep last night and it's only now."
"Hey, this is"
Seeing the unfamiliar face standing behind Cui Lu, Liu Zhi pretended to be surprised and quickly changed the topic:
"Just call me Ben. I am the maintenance master of this fleet. But young man, I have to give you a piece of advice. A gentleman should be cautious. Remember to exercise restraint when you are alone in a room."
Ben is a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance, and his squinting smile makes people feel quite friendly.
Hearing the word restraint, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel more embarrassed:
"You misunderstood, I didn't"
"I don't think Brother Liu should explain this matter, hahaha." Song Chunrui joked, and the atmosphere was awkward and lively for a while.
But when they sat down, everyone realized that this old man could actually sit with the captain Cui Lu.
This status is not low.
Although they were just maintenance engineers of the fleet, the four of them still wanted to make friends.
"Old Ben, I'd better call you Uncle Ben."
Liu Zhi put down his chopsticks, with an eager expression on his face: "Repairing ships is not easy. Can you tell me where this uncle of mine works on Earth?"
"To be honest, I have an uncle who works at the No. 1 shipyard in China. Maybe you know him."
Old Ben sneered: "The No. 1 shipyard? I can't afford to go there. I'm just an ordinary person. I opened a small shipyard at home. I learned everything about repair by myself."
"Small shipyard?"
Liu Zhi immediately became interested:
"To be honest, I'm planning to open a shipyard when I go back to the territory this time."
There are many ways to make money.
But if you want to make money easily, you have to find a business that can be easily monopolized.
Liu Zhi didn't plan to get involved in those basic production-oriented businesses, such as iron smelting and small industrial products.
Once those industries are expanded, there will inevitably be fierce competition.
And shipbuilding will naturally screen out a group of people because of the technical barriers, plus the advantage of his first visit to Tianyuan for inspection.
As long as cooperation can be formed and the scale can be expanded, a high threshold that ordinary people cannot enter will soon be formed.
"If you have an idea, why don't we cooperate?"
"Cooperation?"
Lao Ben put down his chopsticks, looked at Cui Lu who was calm beside him, and shook his head: "You little guy poached people in front of our captain, are you really not afraid of throwing you off the ship now?"
"Hehe, cooperation, Uncle Ben can invest in technology and receive dividends on time."
Knowing Cui Lu's bottom line and principles, Liu Zhi smiled and continued to talk with a licking face:
"Our Red Flower Gang territory is close to this giant dragon fairy river, which has a huge advantage. In my imagination, if we can build the territory into a transit station that spans the entire river and radiates nearly a thousand kilometers around, the development speed will definitely be much easier than the current inland struggle and fighting for territory with the dwarves."
"You think long-term, let's talk about cooperation, I don't need money anywhere."
Lao Ben did not show any intention of being moved.
Liu Zhi was not discouraged, and changed the subject with a smile:
"It's a long-term plan. Our Lord Ji often said that in the wasteland, you have to take one step and look ten steps ahead. Maybe the current situation is still very complicated, but as long as you make the right choice, the future road will be ten times easier."
"So Lord Ji is now leading people to fight the dwarves like crazy, paving the way for the future?" Wang Bi asked curiously.
"Who can know this?"
Liu Zhi sighed: "But you really don't say it, my Lord Ji is really not an ordinary person. As early as when the disaster just opened up this river, he ordered the territory to prepare, and as soon as the disaster was over, he immediately sent us down the river to Tianyuan!"
"Think about the scale when I set out, and what scale you set out."
Talking about this, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little proud.
However, from an angle that he didn't notice, Captain Cui Lu and Lao Ben looked at each other calmly.
The two nodded slightly, as if they had verified some ideas.
