Chapter 1348 Even if You Are Not Rich, You Can Have Your Moments of Luck!

As soon as eight o'clock in the morning arrived, the temperature began to rise suddenly, as if the spring breeze suddenly blew away the severe winter frost.

In less than half an hour, the mercury on the thermometer quickly climbed to fifteen degrees above zero, and there was a rush of warmth everywhere.

In the camp, the originally deserted atmosphere due to the severe cold was instantly broken, replaced by vibrant chaos.

The mobilized soldiers walked out of the tent one after another, enjoying the sudden warmth. Laughter and cheers filled the entire camp.

Even the dwarf captives, who had looked sluggish due to the severe cold before, now regained their vitality.

The faces of many dwarves once again glowed, and they shouted softly, with hope of survival shining in their eyes. It was obvious that the previous sustained low temperature had a serious impact on the dwarves.

Of course, although the temperature rise after the disaster has driven away the severe cold, it also means that another serious problem is coming.

The expeditionary force must pack up as soon as possible and prepare to return. It must leave the opponent's territory before the dwarves may pursue it.

Otherwise, once you are surrounded by dwarf pursuers, you will be in trouble if you want to escape.

"Forty thousand dwarf prisoners, we need to arrange ten teams to deal with them. After our large army evacuates, a batch of prisoners will be released every half hour, and each team will escort and drive the dwarves to different directions."

"If any dwarf wants to escape along the way, just stop them symbolically."

"But remember, don't deliberately release these people, let them think they got away with it."

Su Deben arranged in an orderly manner and quickly formulated a complete evacuation plan.

Even if there were 40,000 pigs, it would take the dwarves three days to capture them all.

He did not intend to take extreme measures against these dwarves who could only engage in ordinary production.

On the contrary, Sudben planned to let the prisoners escape in chaos, which would not only put huge pressure on the pursuing dwarf army and greatly slow down their pursuit, but also allow the escaped dwarves to relocate and organize production. , consuming a lot of supplies and resources from the dwarves.

Although this shows that the results of this expedition are insufficient, the most important thing in a war is the results in appearance.

Using all means to achieve the goal is the decision a qualified commander should make.

...

"Finally the fight is over!" Seeing the torrent of steel-like convoy slowly driving out of the dwarf territory, Liu Zhi couldn't help but smile, and his tense spirit finally relaxed a lot.

The life of waiting at the rear was not easy, especially since he was not qualified to receive news from the front line. He could only hope in extreme suffering that Tianyuan would win the battle, so as to prevent the dwarves from moving the front line and affecting the Honghua Gang's territory.

Otherwise, if the dwarves really attack, ordinary people in low-temperature weather will have no ability to resist.

But looking at the expressions of the soldiers accompanying the convoy now, the results on the front line should be good.

"First send people to notify the residents of the four gathering areas, especially the residents of our No. 2 gathering area, so that they can be mentally prepared!" Liu Zhi made arrangements.

When tens of thousands of humans armed to the teeth and such a vast number of steel torrent tanks enter the territory of the Honghua Gang, they will probably cause a sensation immediately.

Coupled with the fact that the Tianyuan Army carried the residual power of defeating the dwarves, the impact was even more exaggerated.

After so many days, Liu Zhi had actually long wanted to understand the origins of the mercenaries and the role he played in the process.

But at this moment, everything I had thought about before was meaningless.

What he was thinking secretly in his heart at this time was more about the consequences of this war and where the Red Flower Gang would go.

The large force quickly entered the Honghua Gang's territory, and the expected sensation was several times more exaggerated than imagined.

The news spread quickly like wildfire, and the four originally peaceful gathering places exploded in an instant. The survivors who had just been preparing to take advantage of the disaster to go to the fields to see the situation changed their minds and walked out of their homes to fight. Witness this torrent of steel.

Everyone's faces were filled with shock and disbelief, and they felt like they hadn't woken up.

"This is Su Shen's army!" someone exclaimed, their voice full of awe and admiration.

As the large army marched, more and more people gathered on both sides of the road.

At first, facing such a majestic army, people were inevitably a little afraid, and they only dared to watch quietly from a distance.

But as time went by, perhaps the uniform military uniforms evoked some kind of memory deep in their hearts, and people gradually became bolder.

Some waved, or cheered loudly, and some even shed tears with excitement.

Because this army not only represents absolute security in their eyes, but also brings hope of survival.

However, Sumo did not participate in this process, but quietly returned to the receiving fleet in the airship.

But before they could eat, Ji Wuming, the "former" lord of the Honghua Gang, came over.

"Let them in." Sumo put down his chopsticks and saw through the curtain that Yehu was following him.

This is the plan...

"Lord Su!"

With a few obvious bruises on his face and a cast on his arm, Ji Wuming looked a little embarrassed.

Maybe it was to atone for his sins, or maybe there were some special conditions offered by Yehu.

Ji Wuming's performance in this expedition was remarkable, and he could barely be considered a talent.

But these alone are like writing off the crimes previously committed, and I'm afraid it's not enough.

"Come, sit down and eat together. I'll have someone prepare more food." Su Mo smiled and gestured.

Liehu naturally sat beside him, while Ji Wuming still dared to stand at the door half-bent over and dared not raise his head.

"What? Are you going to plead for him?" Switching to Blue Star language, Su Mo looked at Liehu with interest.

"I kind of think so. This guy is indeed a seedling that can be cultivated. It would be a waste to kill him directly or send him to mine. See if you can transfer him to my subordinates and I'll try to cultivate him."

"You shouldn't be short of people under you. If you want talents, I can go back and select a group to go to your place." Su Mo laughed and scolded: "If I let him go, will other humans who cooperate with aliens in the future also feel that they have a way out that can be incorporated?"

"If you are difficult to deal with, then forget it..." Liehu opened his mouth angrily, but finally said nothing.

The situation is now completely different from before.

Although he still felt a little bit embarrassed to address Su Mo as the lord, just like everyone else.

But in terms of his inner status, Liehu had already acknowledged his status as a subordinate.

Bringing Ji Wuming here without knowing the situation was already a violation of the rules.

If he imposes demands without any tact, then who is the lord or Su Mo?

"Don't rush to eat now, eat first, and I'll ask you a few questions after eating." Su Mo casually drank a sip of the special fruit wine with psionic water, and immediately felt warm, dispelling the cold that had entered his body in recent days: "Hurry up the kitchen, and ask them to serve the dishes quickly!"

"Go find Liu Zhi to me, I have something to ask him!"

"Lord Liu should be responsible for arranging the arrival of the large army, I don't know if he has time to find him now."

"Then let him finish it and come quickly!"

After instructing the guards, the kitchen started to serve the dishes with tact, which were all seasonal vegetables stored in the refrigerator.

With the egg white and meat fried, it looked much more appetizing than the marching meal.

"After I repaired you last time, have you had any other problems in the past few days?"

"No, I feel great." Liehu took a bite of food with his chopsticks and couldn't help showing an excited smile: "It feels like I'm back to 20 years ago. I can't remember how long it has been since I felt so relaxed."

"That's good, but I still mentioned what I told you before. When you reach your age, if you can avoid participating in the battle yourself, try not to rush up. We have enough manpower to complete the strategic goal!"

Su Mo ate and talked, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, but when he mentioned that Liehu was not allowed to participate in the battle, the latter couldn't help but feel depressed.

He just turned 40, far from the age of needing retirement, right?

Besides, he was always worried before, and now Liehu really couldn't let go if he didn't follow the plan he made at any time.

After a while, the leftovers were removed by the guards.

Su Mo glanced down at Ji Wuming who was still leaning over the door, and nodded slightly.

After a while, Liu Zhi hurried over.

As soon as he heard Su Mo's summons, he had no time to arrange for the troops to move in. He just threw it to his deputy and rushed over.

"Lord Su, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." When he came in and saw Ji Wuming standing by the door, Liu Zhi suppressed his curiosity and spoke quickly.

"Well, last time you were still the deputy lord, and this time it seems that you will be the great lord." Su Mo smiled and stood up and walked in front of Liu Zhi, who was almost a head taller than the latter.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, and everything will go well."

"Lord Su, what are you talking about? I, Liu Zhi, can have what I have today, thanks to your grace." Liu Zhi was flattered when Su Mo patted his shoulder, "I won't say more. In the future, you can completely treat me as your soldier. If you have any instructions, I will definitely follow your instructions!"

"It seems that you are much smarter than him." Su Mo smiled slowly and glanced at Ji Wuming.

The latter's body trembled obviously, and he restrained himself so that he didn't make too big a move.

"Look up and talk. Let me see what kind of person dares to cooperate with the dwarves?"

Hearing these words that seemed to be blaming, but not so harsh, Liu Zhi's heart moved.

And Ji Wuming quickly raised his head, with a look of expectation in the corner of his eyes.

"Lord Su, I can take the gun. I am willing to atone for my sins. Please forgive my previous confusion."

"Confused for a moment?" Su Mo turned around, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Speak, I'll give you a chance, say something I want to hear."

Although Su Mo's body was not as tall as the hunting tiger, the oppressive feeling standing in front of him was more suffocating.

Ji Wuming had prepared a lot of mental drafts before, but he forgot most of them after being nervous at this moment.

Facing the gaze, he could only stumble and tell the story.

"Lord Su... Actually... Ji Wuming is not my name. I chose it based on a novel I read before."

"My real name is Ji Sheng. Before I came to the wasteland, I was a second-year graduate student at the National University of Defense Technology."

Ji Wuming, no, Ji Sheng, as soon as he spoke, Liu Zhi was shocked and immediately looked at him.

Second-year graduate student?

Good man, you look like you are in your forties, how can you look like a student? !

But the next second, Liu Zhi's doubts were answered.

Ji Sheng raised his hand and touched the edge of his face, and directly peeled off a layer of human skin mask as thin as a cicada's wing from it.

Under the face of the middle-aged man, there was actually a face that was a few years younger than Su Mo, and the tiger who was still watching the show was shocked and coughed repeatedly.

"This is the mask I got from the monster treasure chest when I just crossed over..."

Ji Sheng handed the mask over obediently, and the guard next to him took it for inspection. After confirming that there was no problem, he handed it to Su Mo.

Holding it in his hand, the human skin mask was very light and felt a bit like freshly steamed cold noodles.

But it fit on the skin, but it did not slide down, but was tightly attached to it.

"I have learned broadcasting, and I can only pretend to be a 40-year-old man with this mask."

Ji Wuming continued, and quickly explained everything that happened to him in the wasteland for a year.

Because his face was really harmless, this mask provided a good disguise for Ji Sheng.

In addition, because of his good eloquence, Ji Sheng quickly gathered a lot of people after going to several gathering places.

But it seemed that this mask had used up all his luck.

From entering the sea to now, Ji Sheng's luck has always been considered unlucky.

First, the materials that the gathering place had painstakingly accumulated in the sea encountered a storm when heading to the new continent, and half of them sank to the bottom of the sea.

Then, the people under his command rebelled one after another and fled with the few remaining materials.

At that time, there was almost nothing valuable left for Ji Sheng except a large population.

However, this guy still had some ability. Just relying on his mouth and acting skills, he coaxed many newcomers to join the Red Flower Gang.

Relying on the materials paid by the newcomers, the Red Flower Gang was barely maintained from disbanding.

After that, everything that happened was naturally familiar.

"It turns out that I am not a person who can manage the territory, and I don’t know how to lead them to develop, so when the dwarf came to me and offered to sponsor me to enter the Tianyuan territory and continue to exert my abilities, I couldn’t help but be moved..."

"But I can assure you that from the establishment of the Red Flower Gang to now, I have never had the idea of ​​becoming a traitor!"

After the environment is reopened and returning to the same starting line, it is normal for anyone to have the idea of ​​turning over a new leaf.

Even if you are at the bottom of society, even if you are just an inconspicuous screw, you are a student who has never left the ivory tower.

This wasteland only looks at ability and means, and the connections and experience accumulated in the past are almost useless.

And even if you are not a rich man, you can have a good time.

For Ji Sheng, the Red Flower Gang was accidentally assigned to the Central Holy Land, got the news of the Tianyuan Territory, and was visited by the dwarves. It can be regarded as a sign of turning bad luck into good luck.

It's a pity that he missed one step, just like he said, his mind was confused for a while and he went astray.
