Chapter 217 Murder on a Winter Night

  Volcano City.

  In Ferdinand's banquet hall, a group of officers from Daliao gathered.

   Just as Tang Zheng expected, Ferdinand and the others were also holding a battle meeting.

   "Generals, our tactics have been formulated."

"The troops set out to cross the river at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Because of the snow in the wilderness, it is difficult to move. This march will be divided into two sections. At four o'clock tomorrow night, we will arrive at the Heishan Forest Farm near the abandoned mine in the middle of the wilderness. That place There are no more zombies, so I can just take a good rest, and then march for four hours tomorrow morning to reach the scheduled combat position."

   "Our first attack target is Tang Zheng's university city base."

"This base is the largest in the north, second only to Tang Zheng's Zhuguang City base. Tang Zheng deployed a company of city guards there, and there are also some retired troops here, which can be organized at any time, but the number of Not a lot, and the weapons are not equipped with any heavy firepower."

   "Although they are not many in number, the combat effectiveness of the Light Chaser Army is not weak. Our troops must not relax when they go out to fight, and we must not underestimate the enemy. We must go all out and finish this battle with a blitzkrieg."

   "The University City base is less than 300 kilometers away from Chasing Light City, and our estimated time to attack the University City base is ten o'clock in the morning. The helicopter unit will be dispatched at seven o'clock tomorrow morning to cooperate with the armored forces."

   "I ask you to end the battle at the university city base within half an hour. Then, except for the troops staying at the university city base, the eleven regiments of our department will disperse and attack the remaining twelve bases."

   "We must take down all these bases before dark."

   "After this battle, Tang Zheng's rule in the north will collapse. If he sends troops to support, we will wait for work and completely annihilate his troops, laying the foundation for taking down the City of Chasing Light in the future."

   "Have you mastered the combat tasks and time of each department?"

"Mastered!"

  The officers below Ferdinand replied in unison, all with relaxed expressions.

   It’s no wonder they think so, 50,000 troops, 300 tanks, and 70 helicopters go out to fight a light-chasing army of more than 20,000 people in a district. It’s a surprise if they don’t win.

  Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction when he saw this: "Let's all go down, act on time tomorrow, Qin Xiaolou will stay here for a while."

  His officers left, but Qin Xiaolou stayed behind.

  Ferdinand looked at him and asked, "Is that troublesome woman done?"

Qin Xiaolou smiled and nodded: "Although it was a bit troublesome, it was finally settled. That woman is also ruthless. She bribed the guards here a long time ago, and then sneaked in. She came to me covered in explosives." , insisted on getting the antidote from me, as a last resort, I had to give him a bottle of special antidote."

  Ferdinand was stunned for a moment: "Isn't there no antidote to the drug of mental hallucinations? What did you give her?"

Qin Xiaolou showed a sinister look: "Ordinary things can't be hidden from her. This is a combination of psychotropic drugs and zombie virus. As long as she takes this antidote, she will definitely become a zombie. "

  Ferdinand grinned: "Then will she take it? I don't think she trusts us."

   "I think so. Psychedelic hallucination drugs will continue to destroy people's bodies. Her body can't last long. Even if she doesn't use it now, she will use it sooner or later in order to survive."

Ferdinand nodded: "That's fine, alas. It's a pity, Luo Qiuwan is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, but unfortunately her temper is too strong, such a person will not live long anyway, let her go, she Where did people go?"

   "I drove the helicopter and went in the direction of Hanyue, but I don't know where she went, but don't worry about it. If she doesn't take the medicine, she will die. If she takes the medicine, she will become a zombie. She has no way out."

Speaking of which, seeing Ferdinand still looking a bit regretful, Qin Xiaolou said again: "My lord, there are many beautiful women. Although Luo Qiuwan is hard to find, many people come to our volcano city now. Let me pay attention to you, and I will definitely find a beauty that you like."

  Ferdinand nodded: "We'll talk about it later, let's win the current battle first, and tell the troops on duty at night to calm down, and don't make trouble for me before the big battle."

   "Don't worry, the city lord, I'll convey it."

  Qin Xiaolou walked out of the room, and the wind and snow outside was blowing in his face.

  He was shivering from the cold, and hurried to his residence.

  As for Ferdinand's order, he asked the guards to convey it on his behalf.

  In this kind of weather where ghosts don't go out, it is impossible for any accident to happen.

  The Light Chasing Army is thousands of kilometers away, and it is completely impossible to understand the movements here.

   Nothing to say all night.

  The next morning, before dawn, Daliao's troops quietly left the city from the volcano.

  They came out of the city gate and came directly to the seemingly deserted port.

  Someone has been waiting here to welcome the troops and report.

   "The thickness of the ice layer on the Tongtian River has exceeded one meter, and it can fully withstand large troops crossing the river."

  The officer commanding the troops asked, "Where's the sentry on the opposite side?"

"It was taken 20 minutes ago, and we also installed someone to pretend to be their sentry post. Someone from their University City base will call the sentry post at 8:00 in the morning. At that time, our people will tell them that everything is normal. They only have At nine o'clock in the evening, when the guards change guards, we will use codes to talk, and it will be too late at that time."

  The commander of the army was overjoyed: "Well, then we will cross the river."

  A large number of heavy trucks and tanks began to cross the river.

   Then there are armored vehicles, and already covered personnel carriers.

   Some vehicles were equipped with artillery behind them, and soldiers from one vehicle to another were also sitting in the vehicles and followed the troops across the river.

  The operation of crossing the river lasted for nearly two hours. When the sky brightened, a large force crossed the river.

  Ferdinand was in his city lord's mansion, watching the troops cross the river smoothly, feeling very happy.

  The weather in Daliao is very cold, and I have longed for the vast and warm land of the Han Moon.

  Over the years, this wish has never been fulfilled, but today, it will become a reality in his hands.

   Having captured Tang Zheng's land and population, he will become the biggest warlord in this land, and taking over the power of Daliao in the future is no longer a distant dream.

  The days in winter are extremely short. It’s almost dawn at eight o’clock in the morning, and it’s completely dark at five o’clock in the evening.

   According to the news from the front, the expedition troops in Volcano City have gone through untold hardships and have completed the first march.

  They traveled hundreds of kilometers in the wilderness and arrived at the first resting place, the Black Mountain Forest Farm.

  Heishan Forest Farm is located in the suburb of Heishan County, Lumba City.

  Heishan County was originally a large coal-producing county, and the coal production in the Heishan mining area is very high.

  However, it has been mined almost in the past few years, and there is a large abandoned mining area nearby.

   Resource-based cities are facing transformation when their resources are exhausted. Heishan County has begun to develop animal husbandry and agriculture, as well as timber exports.

  Heishan Forest Farm was built later, with a small population, but high timber output.

  There are not many zombies there. It has been so long since the end of the world, and they have been cleaned up long ago. This has also become the foothold of Daliao troops.

  When the troops arrived at the Heishan Forest Farm, they immediately began to cook and eat. The meal ended at 7:00 pm, and the Daliao people who had worked hard all day began to rest.

  However, the commander of their troops is still very cautious, and the night watch is very good.

  Every tank or armored vehicle stays next to the settlement of resting soldiers, ensuring that they can get up and board at any time.

  The troops responsible for night duty must also be on standby at any time, and the radar-monitored vehicles are in operation to ensure that an early warning can be issued in the event of an attack.

   After all, he was far away from Daliao at this moment, so he didn't dare to be careless.

   As far away as the Volcanic City of Daliao, the helicopter unit has not yet been dispatched.

  The large force will arrive at the scheduled battlefield tomorrow morning, and they can start from Volcano City at seven o'clock tomorrow.

  So compared to the previous army units, these air forces are too easy.

  At eight o'clock in the evening, all the military camps have turned off their lights.

  Only the sentinel of the airport, still guarding the sentry tower of the airport, from time to time sweeps a few times with a searchlight in the distance to see if there is any suspicious person approaching.

   It's just that this kind of scanning is still a bit of a formality, and the things that can be observed are limited.

  The location of Volcano City is unique, it is located on the border of Hanyue and Daliao, there is almost no threat to their north, and the scale of several bases is far smaller than that of Volcano City.

   For a long time, this place has been very peaceful, so the sentries are not so concerned.

  They have a rule after dark that they must turn on the searchlights once every three hours for observation, once at nine o'clock, once at twelve o'clock, and once at three o'clock in the morning.

  In the past, this kind of system has been superficial, and there are times when the sentries are empty.

   It's just that the war is imminent now, and there are orders issued today, and everyone must strictly implement them.

  They have no choice, after all, the winter in Volcano City is too cold.

  Especially after nightfall, when the north wind howls, mixed with snowflakes, it hurts like a knife.

  The sentinel was warming the fire indoors, and felt cold even though he was wrapped in a military coat, so he would never come out under normal circumstances.

  In the watchtower on the north side of the airport, two sentries were drinking Daliao specialty spirits and eating grilled fish.

  At nine o'clock, one of the sentry stood up and opened the door of the sentry tower.

  As soon as he opened the door, a gust of cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew over, making him shiver all over.

  Two steps quickly came to the searchlight, stretched out his hand to turn on the searchlight, and his hand felt numb and tingling in a short time.

"Damn it, this sentry system is really terrible. We are a volcanic city here, with no-man's land to the north and the Tongtian River to the south. Who can threaten us? They actually want me to come out to watch in the middle of the night, and their officials are here Drinking and playing cards and women in the house, Falk!"

  The searchlight was turned on, and a white light penetrated the dark night, and the light fell on the coniferous forest not far away.

   "According to Zhao, what can there be in such a ghostly place? Wasteland tiger? Brown bear? No, no, no brown bears have already hibernated. They all know to sleep in tree holes. I am not even as good as a bear."

  The light swept over some rolling snow hills, and he paused for a moment.

   "Oh look, the snow in that place has been piled up into dirt bags, which are quite regular, in rows."

  He swept back and forth twice, and the companions in the room were already impatient.

   "Randall, can you finish it? I'm going to freeze my eyeballs. If you don't come back, I'll drink your wine too."

   "Oh no! That's mine."

  Randall immediately turned off the searchlight, and ran back into the watchtower.

  Two sentries raise their glasses to drink to resist the cold of winter night.

  As for turning on the lights at twelve o'clock, it will be three hours later, and someone will come to change the guard at that time, and they are only responsible for the first half of the night.

   They are already very good to be able to achieve this level.

   But what they didn't know was that after the sentinel returned, the snowdrift that seemed to be blown out by the wind moved quietly.

   Thanks to the book friend Nian - 1000 coins for rewarding flowers and snow.
