Chapter 234 Where did so many people come from?

  If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Gang Ya would never believe what he saw.

   Bean-scattering gunshots came from the opposite snow slope, and bullets whizzed around in the sky, falling around them like raindrops.

  The two snow slopes are separated by at least six to seven hundred meters. It is not easy to hit people without professional sights, but it cannot stand the dense number.

  Hundreds of rifles fired almost simultaneously, and they were caught off guard for a while.

  In just a few breaths, four looters were shot and fell to the ground, rolling down the snow slope, while the rest could only hastily fight back.

   But helplessly, their position is really bad, half of the team is on the half slope, and only half is on the top of the slope.

   In addition, it is fighting against the light again.

  Looking towards the west, a large mass of setting sun hangs in the sky, and the whole snowy **** seems to be plated with a layer of gold, which becomes harder to see clearly as you go up the slope.

  Gang Ya couldn't even count the number of people on the opposite side. He only felt that at least two centurions were rushing towards him in the twilight, and there were people everywhere on the vast snowfield.

   "Boss! There are a lot of people in front!"

   "They're advancing on us!"

   "Big Horned Deer God, please grant me the power of a monster and the agility of a deer..."

   "Damn, how many are there?!"

   "Has everyone from the entire northern suburbs come?!"

   Chaos all around.

  Knowing that it is not appropriate to indulge in fighting at this moment, Gang Ya made a decisive decision and shouted loudly.

   "Retreat to the north!"

   "Run into the woods!"

  Traversing through the forest is a risky decision.

  The snow in the woods will be thicker than on the plains, and you may encounter mutant brown bears, snow wolves, and other carnivorous species.

   Originally according to his marching plan, they would advance westward along the edge of the forest, then pass through the ruins in the north of Qingquan City, bypass the old school site, and head north to Yuanxi Town.

  But who would have thought that they bumped into so many people just as they reached the edge of the forest!

  Gang Ya's mood at the moment was like beeping a dog.

  Many ten commanders received the order and immediately greeted the troops to run to the north.

  Looking from a distance, I saw more than two hundred people chasing one hundred and twenty or thirty people on the white snow. The scene was like chasing ducks.

   It's just that the continuous gunshots are more exciting than chasing ducks.

   "Stop!"

   "Don't run!"

   "The thief in front, dare to stop and fight me?"

   "My broadsword is already hungry and thirsty!"

   "Damn! Damn, these dogs run really fast!"

  The people behind were yelling, and the people in front were also yelling, but no one could understand what anyone was saying.

   Following the footsteps of the centurion, Beaver looked back in fear, only to see the gleaming bayonet glowing white in the snow.

   There are still four hundred meters away!

  These people have already inserted their bayonets.

   Are they all crazy? !

   "What kind of opponent are we fighting against..." Iron Knee panted out of breath after running.

   "I don't know, if I can, I don't want to come back again. Damn, we should go to the east and throw this rotten bone to Lion Tooth and the others to chew on!"

   "By the way, did you hear the explosion before? I think they have at least ten guns..."

   "There is at least one Thousands in the northeast, and now there are at least two Centuries chasing us. Are there so many people in the entire northern suburbs?"

   "Crazy, crazy!"

  Listening to the nonsense of his subordinates, Gang Ya had no time to answer them.

   Finally touched the edge of the forest, and he was relieved.

   Looking back at the dozens of corpses left on the snow, Gang Ya felt a pain in his heart, he gritted his teeth and turned his head back.

   "Run toward true north!"

   "Let's gather in Yuanxi Town!"

  I am afraid that many people will be left behind along the way.

  But compared to being captured by those survivors, it is better to escape...

  …

   "Damn it, let these bad guys run away!"

  Seeing that the ten teams disappeared into the woods, ran to the tail at the edge of the woods, dragged the gun into the snow, panting while holding the barrel of the gun.

  Obviously, he almost caught up!

  However, the snow on the ground is too thick, some places are buried to the calf, some are directly buried to the knee or even the thigh, and it is impossible to run at all.

  Tail couldn't help thinking of Rourou.

   If only her bear was here!

   After waiting for a while, Sisi and other players chased him up from behind.

   "Aowei, are you okay?"

   "The tail is okay, but it's a pity that it's a little bit worse!"

  Looking at the frustrated tail, Sisi looked up at the forest in front of him, and said helplessly.

   "enmm... After all, they didn't even go through the process, they just started running."

  These people have managed to do this, and there is nothing they can do if they can't catch up.

   Didn’t the NPC wearing the exoskeleton in front also catch up?

  Seeing that the deputy captain of the guard stopped at the edge of the forest, fired a few shots into the forest, and then withdrew.

   From the looks of it, he probably doesn't intend to chase after him.

   Sisi said in an encouraging tone.

   "However, Ao was great today."

  Hearing the praise, the tail that was still a little frustrated a second ago couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and said proudly.

   "Just kidding, the tail is super brave!"

  Sisi smiled.

   "...Should I tell me at this time?"

   "??? You are not right."

  …

   After driving in the forest for a while, until it was completely dark, Gang Ya slowed down his escape and gathered his subordinates.

  Looking at the sparse fifty people, his heart sank slightly.

  Although it is expected that some people will fall behind, I did not expect to fall behind so much.

   Panting, the **** stepped forward and made a suggestion to the centurion.

"...Brothers are already very tired. If you continue walking, I am afraid that more people will fall behind. Those pursuers did not catch up. I propose to camp here and rest until dawn before continuing on the road, so as to wait for those who fall behind. .”

  Another captain, Iron Knee, also echoed.

   "I agree too... the temperature at night is too low, it's too dangerous to travel!"

  It’s dark and I can’t see anything, and the ghost knows what is hidden in the snow.

  If you continue to walk, I am afraid that few people will be able to get out of this forest alive.

  Gang Ya thought it made sense, then nodded.

   "Camp camp."

  Hearing these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the tree beside them exhaustedly.

   Everyone is tired.

   Some even fell asleep standing up.

   Rubbing his frozen hands, a marauder said tremblingly.

   "I really want to start a fire..."

  When everyone heard this sentence, bitter expressions appeared on their faces.

  Fire?

here?

are you crazy?

  Although the survivors didn't seem to chase into the forest, they didn't think that those people would just let them go.

   Perhaps the hunters were nearby, waiting for a chance to let up, and rush up and slit their throats.

  Even if they were resting, many people were tense, holding guns as cold as ice, and did not dare to relax their vigilance at all.

  The night is getting darker, the moonlight is shining in the woods, and the surrounding is quiet.

  Many scattered brothers came to find them one after another, but after all, only a small number of them were found, and most of them still had no news.

   Now I can only pray that they are still alive, can walk out of this forest, and arrive at Yuanxi Town to join them smoothly.

  Gang Ya's face showed a trace of sadness. This was the first time since he followed the footsteps of Black Snake to the south, he felt confused about the future.

   At this moment, there was a sound of flowing snow in the darkness, and he immediately raised his gun and pointed at it.

  Gang Fang whispered.

"who."

   Around the steel teeth, guns were raised one after another.

   "It's me! Don't shoot!"

  In the darkness, a person came out with his hands raised high, his weather-beaten face was full of tension.

   Seeing that face clearly, Gang Fang heaved a sigh of relief, and pressed down the raised muzzle of the gun.

   "My own people."

   Feather.

   was his subordinate before.

  Although their opponents were narrowly defeated in the Battle of the Winter Willow Camp, their own strength is not bad, and they are still awakened.

  After withdrawing from Qingquan City earlier, Yu was transferred away by the Black Snake and brought with him to be trained as a centurion.

   I didn't expect the two to meet again, but in this form...

  Gang Ya put away the gun, looked at him and said.

   "Aren't you at the Black Snake? How is the situation over there?"

  Although he knew that it was more likely to be bad luck than good, he still asked a question out of luck.

  Yu had a bitter expression on his face.

   "It's all over."

   "Except for a few who ran away, the rest of the people are all finished."

   Before Gangya could speak, the **** beside him spoke anxiously.

   "It's all over?! How is it possible... more than 600 people, even if they are arrested, they will have to be arrested for a while."

  When he said this, there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

  Gang Ya's expression at the moment is the same, he can't believe this sentence no matter what.

   No matter how bad luck is, even if all the supplies are lost, it should be no problem to escape the two centurions, right?

  When they arrived in Yuanxi Town, they could regroup and unite under the banner of the Black Snake.

  However, after hearing Beaver's words, the bitterness on Yu's face became even stronger.

   After a moment of silence, Yu recalled what happened a few hours ago, and spoke slowly.

"The fire was burning and at least 10 shells...maybe 20 fell on our positions. Then they charged, whistles sounded in all directions, and we had to retreat to the north, but things quickly got worse. "

   "Their cars were driving fast on the snow like a sled, and our armored pickups got completely stuck in the snow and were destroyed one by one."

   "Automatic rifles, machine guns... There is also a long gun with a long barrel that can penetrate steel plates. Their firepower is very fierce. We suffered heavy casualties when we first fought."

   "It's not even just firepower. They use axes and bayonets to fight us hand to hand, and we are not their opponents at all."

   A trace of fear gradually appeared on the faces of everyone.

  Usually they took the initiative to initiate hand-to-hand combat, using incendiary bombs and projectiles to force the defenders to leave the bunker, and then charged with bayonets.

   This saves bullets.

   This is the first time they have met someone whose style of play is more brutal than theirs...

  Still unable to believe these words, Beaver hurriedly asked: "Where's that big guy? Don't we have that thing called a tank?"

  They can blow up armored pickups, but they can't even blow up tanks, right?

  Yu shook his head.

   "Blown up."

   Just three words, making the surrounding air stiff as if frozen.

  The people listening on the side all held their breath involuntarily.

   Was bombed?

   That big guy with dozens of tons?

  Gang Ya's expression was slightly moved, and he suddenly recalled the time when he was looting in the central region.

   They were in trouble at the time, and a survivor colony had been held for a long time.

  The locals got a cannon from nowhere, and they suffered heavy casualties during the assault.

   Until later, their commander, Black Snake, got a tank from the leader.

  The shells hit the tank like a tickle.

  The originally desperate fortifications were like paper in front of the steel tracks. They pierced through without any effort and slaughtered the defenders.

   And now, someone actually told him that that mighty steel monster was blown up?

  What the **** could blow it up! ?

  “…There are at least two thousand-man teams besieging us, and these survivors are likely to be supported by Boulder City.”

   "We are no match for them, and neither is Lion's Tooth."

   "It was a wrong decision to focus on them from the beginning. The more serious mistake is that we actually thought that we could end this war in winter."

   Two thousand-man teams!

  People around whispered, their faces were no longer just fear, but fear that could be seen with the naked eye.

  Gang Fang also looked dignified.

  Besides being apprehensive, he couldn't figure it out.

  If these people are really so strong, why did they have such an inseparable fight with him more than a month ago?

  Gang Ya remembers very clearly that at that time, in order to support the vanguard of the siege, he only brought a centurion.

  Although the fierce battle for a day didn't bring any benefits, it still wiped out their elite team.

  At that time, he didn't think highly of the strength of the survivors in this area, and he was able to gather two centurions when he was exhausted.

  If you give him more people, he can take down here by himself without the help of Master Black Snake.

   But now, the people who escaped from the front told him that there were two thousand-man teams besieging them!

   It's only been a winter, and the combat power has been directly increased to 0. How did these people do it? !

  Doesn’t it take time to have a baby?

  The speed of expansion is too fast!

  Gang Fang pondered for a while and said.

   "...We must go to Yuanxi Town as soon as possible and tell our friendly troops the information."

  He and Lion Ya are considered to be of the same family, they are both members of the Ya clan, Lion Ya should not embarrass him.

   Beaver, Iron Knee and the other ten captains looked at each other in blank dismay, but did not dare to speak.

   To be honest, after hearing Yu's description, they didn't want to go to Yuanxi Town at all.

  They just want to get out of here and escape from the southern part of the River Valley Province, the farther away from here the better...

  …

  Entrance of Interprovincial Highway.

  The convoy full of supplies has been moved to a relatively high road.

  Although an encounter broke out on the way, the reinforcements led by Liu Ding arrived at the front line before dark.

  The war here is long over.

   The players even picked up stones and firewood to start a fire, cleared an open space on the road, and cooked potatoes.

  Many players are both combat professional players and life professional players.

  Such as tomato scrambled eggs.

  As one of the veteran players who joined the game in the early version, he is not only a cook, but also an awakener of the physical system.

   Leaning the gun aside, picked up the snow and washed his hands, then started cooking with the pot and spatula.

  The smell of food on the temporary camp filled the air, and the players couldn't stay idle, and it was as lively as a festival for a while.

  The prisoners of war who were chained aside kept swallowing, but they didn't dare to eat.

   Soon, the two players walked over holding their noses, and dropped a bucket full of nutrient cream on the ground.

   "Eat."

  Although the nutrient cream was frozen like ice cubes, the captives didn't dislike it at all, and almost fought for a few bites.

  Several players stood aside and watched, chatting.

   "Speaking of which, where were the prisoners we captured finally sent?"

   "There seems to be a prison in Jiujiu Farm, and I remember the outpost also has one."

   "Can such a small prison hold so many people?"

   "How is it possible that everyone lives in the house? I heard that there seems to be a labor camp built on the north side of Linghu Lake. I guess they will be sent there to open up wasteland."

   "Digging for potatoes? Thrilling."

the other side.

  The freed slaves were also given some rations and living twigs and firewood.

  Liu Ding selected a few of them who could cook, and set up a large pot to cook porridge in the open space.

  The generally hot porridge entered the stomach, and people showed reassuring expressions on their faces.

   The new owner doesn't seem bad.

   Didn't eat them, and even gave them something warm to eat.

  Many people began to have hope for their future life.

   Trotted to Liu Ding's side, Lu Bei stood at attention and gave a military salute.

   "Report! Statistics are complete, a total of 488 freed slaves! A total of 257 prisoners of war!"

   Add up to nearly 700 people.

  Liu Ding nodded, reached out and pressed the headset, and reported the situation on the front line to the headquarters.

   Then the headquarters issued an instruction, and immediately set off on the road after resting in place for half an hour, taking all supplies and prisoners of war to Changjiu Farm, and the liberated survivors were transferred to a temporary shelter.

   "Go and inform our soldiers, we will leave in half an hour."

   Lu Bei said cleanly.

"yes!"

   After finishing speaking, the boy trotted towards the players.

  After conveying the manager's instructions, Liu Ding looked at the freed slaves beside him.

  488 individuals.

  Most of them are young and middle-aged, 70% are men and 30% are women. There are almost no elderly people, let alone a child.

   This is clearly not the normal age structure.

   Obviously, there is only one possibility.

   “…these bastards.”

   Glancing at the prisoners of war who were scrambling for nutrition cream not far away, Liu Ding cursed in his heart, turned and walked towards the truck.

  He needs to issue a mission, recruit players who can drive, and drive the captured truck back.

  The rest of the people can only walk.

   including himself.

  …

   "It's all right, the bad guys have been driven away by us."

  The cat ears on the top of the head swayed slightly, and the sesame paste squatted on the snow, comforting the crying girl.

not far away.

  Ye Shi, who was carrying a sniper rifle, and Feng Feng, finally came back from the north.

   "MMP, why do I feel like I'm playing soy sauce again in this battle?"

  Looking at the cursing Ye Shi, Fang Chang, who was peeling potatoes, said casually.

   "No, your intelligence is very useful, and what you do is also in line with the position of a scout."

  Ye Shi: "Hey, that's what I said, but I waited for two days and didn't fire a single shot. Is that reasonable!"

   Even those rookies fought a battle!

  Fang Chang smiled and said.

   "That's not good, the saved bullets are all yours."

  Under the current version, in wars between factions, bullets will be fired before the mission starts, and you can keep them if they are not finished.

  This is also the reason why many players like to fight bayonets.

  Shooting a shot may miss, and if you miss two shots, you will suffer a blood loss. It is better to go up and fight hand-to-hand. Ordinary predators are not opponents at all.

   But recently it has been less.

  The income of missions has risen again and again, the price of bullets is still the same, and there is a 10% discount for soldiers. The lack of supplies is not so scarce.

   Sometimes saving bullets is purely a habit, but no one deliberately picks them up.

  Ye Shi rolled his eyes, squatted beside him, picked up a potato, and then peeled it.

  The dry food he brought was finished, and he was so hungry right now, he just wanted to have a quick bite of hot rice.

   "Where's Lao Bai?"

  Fang Chang said casually.

   "There is something wrong in reality. He got off after the war score came out, and he is lying on the truck now. I have to carry him to the save point in a while, and you two will help me."

  Ye Shi laughed.

   "Ah... Lao Bai trusts me so much?"

  Guangfeng glanced at him.

"What do you want to do?"

  Ye Shi smirked and said, "Hey, it's nothing, I was just thinking about painting him a beard or something."

  Fang Chang rolled his eyes.

   "Can you be a little bit promising."

  Guangfeng coughed lightly and said, "Are you sure you want to destroy the trust between people? We all have something to do during the day."

  As soon as Ye Shi heard this, Ye Shi was shocked, and said with a smile.

   "Uh, I was just kidding."
