Chapter 1481 Rooting Operation, Pre-War Preparations!
"Wang Rong, he is my old classmate. It has been so long, I think I know him better. He is a very serious person, he never loses his composure in front of outsiders, and he never makes himself look unprofessional. When he was in school, he would always work overtime and stay up all night for exams, fearing that he would forget something again."
"It is the same now. I heard that he has to stay up all night to work overtime every day at the information receiving and dispatching office, and often does not go home for a week, which makes Lord Long have to go to the receiving and dispatching office in person and order him to go back and rest."
"But people's hearts will change after all..."
The chief bowed his head and pondered, as if he was missing, and seemed to be lamenting the passage of time.
In the past, the Action Department only suspected Wang Rong, but there was never a key evidence to determine his identity.
Moreover, with Wang Rong's status, even if he leaked some intelligence, the Action Department below was not qualified to launch a detailed investigation on him.
After all, no one knew whether Wang Rong had secretly received a task to seduce the enemy to show up.
If the Operations Department rashly gets involved and ruins the mission, it will be a big trouble.
However, the situation this time is completely different.
The emergency intelligence from Tianyuan actually revealed more than one big rat, Wang Rong.
In the satellite cities of the entire Longqi territory alone, as many as 40 people were checked last night.
Among them, although Wang Rong is the person with the highest status, he has eight subordinates under him, distributed in various important departments of Longqi territory.
This discovery is shocking enough and regrettable enough.
"General, only a small number of people have changed, and most people are still rational."
Xiao Zhu tried to comfort him.
Unexpectedly, the general waved his hand indifferently, raised his head and smiled.
"Don't comfort me, I still understand this truth. You can't suspect everyone around you just because of Wang Rong."
"Okay, since the evidence of Wang Rong has been finalized, let's start the arrest operation."
"Yes!"
Xiao Zhu immediately stood up straight, saluted, and turned away.
However, before he left, he felt something and turned to look at the general manager sitting on the chair.
The general manager, who had just forced a smile, had completely taken off his disguise at this time. He slumped on the stool, looking a little lost, and I don’t know what he was thinking.
General manager...
Xiao Zhu swallowed his saliva, pushed open the door and left quietly.
He actually knew better than anyone that the relationship between the general manager and Wang Rong was not as simple as old classmates.
But what’s the use?
Different ideas, even brothers may draw swords against each other.
Wasteland, wasteland.
Even if this turmoil is over, how can the surviving humans return to their previous peaceful lives?
Boom.
Raindrops as big as beans fell on the Xinghuo Satellite City.
The wolf-like action team rushed into the accommodation area of the information receiving and sending department and went straight to Wang Rong’s residence.
However, when the team members arrived near the residence, they found that the door was ajar.
Push open the door.
Wang Rong sat calmly on the fabric sofa, carefully cleaning the white veins of the orange peel in his hand.
Even though a dozen fully armed soldiers suddenly rushed into the living room, they failed to attract his attention.
"Minister Wang, thank you for coming with us." Xiao Zhu stepped forward and said in a serious tone.
"Okay, but can you wait for me... to finish this orange?"
"Of course, we have plenty of time tonight."
Xiao Zhu nodded.
The famous 'Scorpio', a big rat lurking in the human high-level.
The important intelligence received by those alien races should have been leaked by this person in front of him.
On the way here, Xiao Zhu had already thought of how to capture and interrogate him.
But now that he really stood in front of him, he felt powerless.
Perhaps this is why the chief knew that Wang Rong was a traitor, but he had no way to deal with it, and could only comfort himself with the reason that people's hearts would change.
After all, at this position, some actions can no longer be explained by common sense.
Baji.
Wang Rong ate seriously, one petal after another.
These fruits, which mature in late autumn, are the latest products of Longqi Territory and are extremely expensive.
"I can't bear to eat them on weekdays, but now I'm going to splurge."
"Minister Wang, you're joking. If you can't bear to eat them, then there are not many people in our territory who dare to eat them."
Xiao Zhu responded indifferently.
However, he soon found that something was wrong.
Wang Rong seemed to eat oranges more and more slowly, and the juice oozing from the corners of his mouth was mixed with a hint of scarlet.
"No, come, Wang Rong is going to commit suicide out of fear of crime!"
Xiao Zhu shouted hurriedly, and several emergency personnel carrying medicines and equipment rushed in from the door.
But from beginning to end, Wang Rong did not react at all.
Even if the emergency personnel rudely stopped his actions and began to test with instruments, he just had a calm smile on his face and looked at Xiao Zhu quietly.
"Child, do you know that some people are not worthy of living until the dawn?"
"So, you are going to surrender to the alien race and drag other innocent people to be buried with you? To pay for your wish to revive your daughter?" Xiao Zhu finally couldn't hold back the hatred in his heart and roared.
"No, you are wrong, I never had such an idea." Wang Rong shook his head.
"My daughter, in fact, is not qualified to live to dawn. She...she is the real member of Xiangshenghui, codename... "Venomous Scorpion"."
"What?"
A flash of lightning flashed across, reflecting the astonishment on Xiao Zhu's face.
Venomous Scorpion, it turned out that it was not Wang Rong, but his daughter?
"Are you thinking..." Thinking of the eight subordinates under Wang Rong who were distributed in various important departments in Longqi Territory, they were found out in an unusually unified manner, Xiao Zhu finally realized something.
He couldn't believe his speculation, because it was far beyond the upper limit of what he could understand.
Wang Rong, how could he enter the game so easily? Are all the people in Xiangshenghui fools?
Unless.
"The general manager..."
"He knows, he knows everything, so this orange was handed to me by him personally."
More and more blood foam seeped out of Wang Rong's mouth.
He smiled, not caring, but gently pushed away the hand of the young emergency worker.
"Good boy, stop working and take a rest."
"This is the special skill of the aliens. How can it be cracked so easily?"
The blood contract signed with the aliens was triggered when the oath was violated.
If it weren't for the physical fitness gains brought by the route, he would never have been able to hold on until now to finish eating the oranges.
"You...no, why?"
Xiao Zhu was a little emotionally broken. The development of things was completely beyond his imagination.
It's not just the change in the identity of the scorpion, but everything at the moment made him feel powerless that he had done something wrong.
But unfortunately, the man sitting on the sofa had lost most of his strength and was unable to speak.
He reluctantly raised his head, and his eyes gradually lost their spirit.
Following his line of sight, Xiao Zhu turned his head.
There was a portrait hanging on the wall.
It was a photo of Wang Rong and his daughter, with a sunny background and a big sun hanging high in the sky.
...
"Xiangshenghui is one of the most rampant traitor organizations in the wasteland today. Its sphere of influence spans the entire New World, with about 30,000 members. It mainly lurks around the Dragon Flag territory, and its secondary activity range is the northern border."
"In terms of business attributes, Xiangshenghui's main business is to collect important intelligence from humans, which is used to exchange materials with aliens to maintain operations. In addition, they also take into account some regional chaos tasks, that is, artificially instigating unrest in the area to meet the special purposes of aliens."
"According to the character profile currently provided by Longqi, most of the people in Xiangshenghui have an extremely extreme desire for destruction, taking pleasure in the pain of others, and destroying the roots of humans in the wasteland as their main goal. Another group of people are exactly the opposite. They join Xiangshenghui with their own purposes, which require the promise of aliens to complete."
Listening to Qiao Yuansheng's oral information.
Su Mo narrowed his eyes, and his slender fingers gently tapped the corners of the table, making a rhythmic sound.
You don't know until you check, and you'll be shocked when you check.
There are quite a few traitor organizations in the wasteland, and there are more than a dozen organizations that can be named.
Among them, the 'Xiangsheng Society' is the largest.
At first glance, this organization seems to be a positive organization, but in fact it is a huge gathering place for traitors.
The number of core members is as high as 30,000, and the number of peripheral members is nearly 100,000.
Such a scale is almost comparable to some small and medium-sized territories, and naturally the influence is getting bigger and bigger.
"Anyway, it's outrageous. Even the senior management of Longqi has been infiltrated a lot."
"Well... have they started to act?"
"It's just over, codenamed 'Rooting Operation', but it's a pity that the preparations are still not sufficient. It's impossible to completely destroy all the dens and branches of Xiangsheng Society. It's only enough to capture some important people, so that Xiangsheng Society will lose its influence for a short time."
Qiao Yuansheng thought about it and shook his head regretfully.
"It's a pity that we humans have also paid a lot of price for this operation. Many people joined the game to lure out the rats in the dark, but were helplessly sacrificed under the control of the aliens."
"Alas, it's hard to explain. This kind of thing is really hard to explain."
The news that Tianyuan deliberately released Su Mo back was also an important signal to the three territories.
It's time to clean up the rats in our own house and prepare for the war with the aliens.
In fact, human traitors are not a new thing in the wasteland.
With the free release of the world channel, as long as you watch it late at night, you can always find some human traitor organizations recruiting members under the banner of believing in aliens and gaining eternal life.
After all, compared with those illusory gods in human history, the gods behind the aliens are real.
Even if this game cannot be won, joining the aliens to survive is also a suitable choice.
"Naive, the aliens don't need some humans who can't even provide faith."
Hearing Qiao Yuansheng say this, Su Mo also felt a little regretful, but soon this emotion turned into resentment against human traitors.
Compared with human obsession, alien races are nothing but child's play.
As long as they have never experienced something, these people can always imagine it to be wonderful.
But what is the reality?
After Su Mo truly possessed the power of a god, he found that without the faith provided by the tribe, and after using up the accumulated divine power, the gods were terribly weak.
For example, the false god Tiangou was only one step away from igniting the divine fire, but he couldn't even stop the missiles.
Another example is the incarnation of the five ancestral gods, who were limited by their divine power and could not use powerful divine arts at all.
So, the essence of gods lies in faith.
As long as they can provide enough faith power, it doesn't matter what the believers are to the gods.
However, if the human beings themselves have no goals and no faith, how can they provide power for these gods?
"I feel relieved to leave this matter to them, so... I will devote myself to the preparations for the gambling fight next."
Su Mo closed the information in front of him.
Whether it is the rooting operation or the war with aliens, these two things are far less important than the upcoming gambling fight.
"This gambling fight involves a dispute of faith. You can notify it... No one in the territory is allowed to enter."
"Are you worried that you can't unify the faith?" Qiao Yuansheng thought.
"There is a part of the reason, but the main reason is that after entering, everyone will become the ordinary people when they first arrived in the wasteland. Let alone helping, it will be difficult for them to survive."
"What about other territories? Do we need to notify them not to send people in?"
"No, it's useless to notify them. There will definitely be a lot of people entering this time."
Su Mo shook his head.
The gambling fight space can last up to one year, so humans who enter it only need to surrender immediately, and when they come out, they will have a whole year of survival for free.
This is absolutely a huge temptation for some people, enough to make them form a common belief for a short time.
In addition, when it comes to the fate of humans in the wasteland, the territories of all sizes will certainly not give all their hopes to others, but will organize their own people to try.
Anyway, they can admit defeat, and it is not a one-game decision anyway, so it is not a loss to give it a try.
"That's right, but the more people go in, the more trouble it will be..."
Qiao Yuansheng frowned.
It can only be said that the aliens who designed the first gambling fight scene have indeed grasped the bad roots rooted in human genes.
These conditions are indeed nothing when taken out separately, but when combined, they form a tight logical chain.
It arouses the greed of the survivors and attracts countless people to join like moths to a flame.
In the next few days, things really developed as Su Mo expected, and the number of humans participating in this gambling fight in the game panel continued to soar.
Ten thousand.
Fifty thousand.
100,000.
300,000.
500,000...
According to the standard of a maximum of 1,000 people in each territory, the number of humans participating in the gambling fight quickly exceeded six figures.
There were thousands of territories and nearly two million people who signed up for this gambling fight.
Although the situation was out of control, the three territories of the Imperial Family notified them in time to try to stop it, but there were still a large number of territories that secretly disobeyed and secretly ordered people to continue to obtain entry qualifications.
There was no way, the rewards of the last gambling fight did make many people greedy.
They didn't ask to make anything in this gambling fight, they just wanted to drink a mouthful of soup with Su Mo.
This was enough, and it could completely help them change their fate after returning to the wasteland.
...
Eastern front.
The cold wind in late autumn began to become more and more biting, and the sharp drop in temperature was like a cold footnote to the tense confrontation between humans and aliens in the wasteland.
As the gambling fight approached, the boundaries between the two sides became increasingly blurred, and it was finally time for frequent friction.
At first, it was just a surprise battle of dozens of people, and both sides were testing each other's bottom line and strength.
With sophisticated equipment, strict tactical layout and logistical support, humans can often quickly gain the upper hand and exert full suppression.
Even if a few aliens have very strange abilities occasionally, they did not cause too many casualties.
Unfortunately, as time went on, the scale of the conflict gradually escalated, and small-scale encounters of hundreds of people began to become the norm.
On the battlefield, human firearms and alien energy attacks were fired back and forth, with great momentum.
Although humans can always rely on tactical command and marching formations to gain a decisive advantage on the front battlefield, the incredible special abilities of aliens - such as instant movement, lurking camouflage, and large-scale sacrifice formations - can always turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment and gain a chance to reverse the defeat.
In addition, the competition for resources has become another focus of the confrontation between the two sides.
Using an efficient logistics system, the resources in the rear of humans can be quickly transported to the front line for support.
The aliens do not have this ability and can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water.
Therefore, humans targeted scarce minerals, while aliens targeted food and water sources to sustain their survival.
The two sides competed with each other, and destroyed each other's plans as their main goal.
Of course, the aliens were not all passive.
After receiving the guidance of the traitors, there have been many cases where small alien forces bypassed the front-line defenses and raided the eastern, southern and northern plates to wreak havoc.
Moreover, these attacks were very insidious. They were not aimed at killing like before, but precisely destroyed the warehouses where materials were stored, burned a large amount of supplies, and seriously threatened the supply lines of humans on the front line.
Every day, a large number of survivors migrated away from the front line.
When there were only two days left before the gambling fight, there was no territory within 500 kilometers around the front line.
It can be foreseen that as long as the full-scale war begins, this place will become a cruel meat grinder.
Whether it is humans or aliens, they will pay an extremely painful price to win this war.
...
