Chapter 234 Where did so many people come from?

   If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Steel Teeth would never have believed what he saw.

   Bean-like gunshots came from the opposite snowy slope, and bullets flew in the sky like raindrops.

  The two snow slopes are separated by at least 600 to 700 meters. Without professional sights, it is not easy to hit people, but the number of them cannot be suppressed.

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

   In just a few breaths, four predators fell to the ground and rolled down the snowy slope, while the rest had to fight back in haste.

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

   In addition, it is a backlit battle.

   Looking towards the west, there is a huge sunset hanging in the sky, the whole snow **** is like a layer of gold plating, the more you go up the slope, the harder it is to see.

   Steel Teeth couldn't even count the number of people on the opposite side, but he felt that at least two centenarians rushed towards him in the twilight, and people were everywhere on the vast snowy plain.

   "Boss! There are many people ahead!"

   "They're advancing on us!"

   "God of the big horned deer, please grant me the power of a monster and the agility of a deer..."

   "Damn, how many do they have?!"

   "Have the entire northern suburbs come?!"

   There was chaos all around.

   Knowing that it is not suitable to fight at this moment, Gang Ya made a decisive decision and shouted loudly.

   "Go north!"

   "Rush into the woods!"

   Traversing through the forest is a risky decision.

  The snow in the woods will be thicker than that on the plains, and you may encounter mutant brown bears, snow wolves, and other meat-eating mutants.

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

   But who would have thought they ran into so many people just touching the edge of the forest!

   Steel Tooth's mood at the moment is like beeping a dog.

   Numerous ten commanders received the order and immediately greeted their followers to run north.

   Looking from a distance, I saw more than 200 people chasing 120 or 30 people on the white awning snow, and the scene was like chasing ducks.

   It's just that the continuous sound of gunfire is more exciting than chasing ducks.

   "Stop!"

   "Don't run!"

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

   "My broadsword is already hungry!!"

   "Hey! Damn, these dogs run so fast!"

   The people in the back were screaming, and the people in front were also shouting, but no one could understand who was talking.

   Following in the footsteps of the centurion, the **** looked back in horror, only to see the bright bayonet glowing white in the snow.

   is still 400 meters away!

   These people have already inserted the bayonet.

   Are they all crazy? !

   "What kind of opponent are we fighting against..." Out of breath, Iron Knee panted.

   "I don't know, if I can, I don't want to come back. Damn, we should go to the east and throw this rotten bone to Lionfang and the others to eat!"

   "By the way, did you hear the previous explosion? I feel like they have at least ten guns..."

   "There is at least one thousand-man team in the northeast, and now there are at least two hundred-man teams chasing us. Are there so many people in the entire northern suburbs combined!"

   "Crazy, crazy!"

   Hearing the nonsense of his subordinates, Gang Tooth didn’t have time to pay attention to them.

   finally touched the edge of the forest, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

   Looking back at the dozen or so corpses left on the snow, Gang Tooth felt a pain in his heart, he gritted his teeth and turned his head back.

   "Run towards due north!"

   "We meet at Yuanxi Town!"

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

   But it's better to escape than to be captured by the survivors...

  …

   "Damn, let these bad guys run away!"

   Seeing the ten squads disappear into the woods, they ran to the tail at the edge of the woods, dragged the guns into the snow, and panted while holding the barrels.

   Mingming almost caught up!

  However, the snow on the ground is so thick that some places are buried in the calf, and some are directly buried in the knees or even the thighs, making it impossible to run at all.

  Tail couldn't help but think of meat.

  If only her bear were here!

   After waiting for a while, Sis and the other players chased after him.

   "Awei, are you okay?"

   "The tail is still ok, but it's a pity it's still a little short!"

   Looking at the frustrated tail, Si Si looked up at the forest in front and said helplessly.

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

   These people have become like this, and it is impossible to catch up.

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

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

  It seemed that he didn't intend to chase after him.

  Siss said in an encouraging tone.

   "However, Ao was great today."

   Hearing the compliment, there was a bit of a frustrated tail in the last second, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but lift up and said proudly.

   "Just kidding, is the tail super brave!"

  Sss smiled.

   "...Should I tell me to take a look at this time?"

   "??? You're wrong."

  …

   After rushing through the forest for a while, until it was completely dark, Gang Fang 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 be left behind, I didn’t expect so many left behind.

   The panting **** stepped forward and made a suggestion to the centurion.

"...The brothers are already very tired. If you continue to walk, I am afraid that more people will fall behind. Those chasing soldiers did not catch up. I propose to camp here, rest until dawn, and then continue on the road, or wait for those who fall behind. people."

   Another Ten Commander, Iron Knee, also agreed.

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

  You can't see anything when it's dark, ghosts know what's hidden in the snow.

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

   Steel Tooth thought it made sense, and nodded.

   "Encamp."

   Hearing this sentence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the tree beside them exhausted.

   Everyone is tired.

   Some even fell asleep standing up.

   Rubbing his frozen hands, a predator said tremblingly.

   "I really want to make a fire..."

   When everyone heard these words, bitter expressions appeared on their faces.

   Make a fire?

here?

are you crazy?

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

   Maybe the hunters were nearby, just waiting for a chance to relax before rushing up to slit their throats.

   Even when they were resting, many people were still nervous, holding guns that were as cold as ice cubes, and did not dare to relax their vigilance at all.

  The night is getting darker, the moonlight shines in the woods, and the surroundings are quiet.

   Several brothers who have been separated have come to find them one after another, but after all, only a few have been found, and most of them still have no news.

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

   There was a trace of sadness on Gang Ya's face. This was the first time he felt confused about the future since he followed in the footsteps of the black snake.

   At this moment, the sound of passing snow came from the darkness, and he immediately raised the muzzle and pointed at it.

   Steel Teeth shouted in a low voice.

"Who."

Around    Steel Teeth, guns were raised one by one.

   "It's me! Don't shoot!"

  In the darkness, a man walked out with his hands raised, his weather-beaten face full of tension.

   Seeing that face clearly, Steel Teeth heaved a sigh of relief and pressed down the raised muzzle.

   "My own people."

   Feather.

   was his subordinate before.

  Although Dongliu Camp defeated their opponents in the battle, he himself is not bad, and he is still an Awakener.

   After evacuating from Qingquan City, Yu was transferred by Black Snake and brought him to be trained as a centurion.

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

   Steel Tooth put away his gun and looked at him.

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

  Although he knew that it was mostly bad luck, he still asked a question out of luck.

  Ha had a bitter expression on his face.

   "It's all over."

   "Except for a few who ran away, the rest are completely dead."

   Before Steel Tooth could speak, the Beaver beside him said anxiously.

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

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

   Gangya's expression at the moment was the same, and he couldn't believe it.

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

When    reaches Far Creek Town, they can regroup and reunite 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 said slowly.

"The fire was burning, at least 10 shells ... maybe 20, fell on our position. Then they started charging, whistle blowing in all directions, we had to retreat north, but the situation quickly got worse ."

   "Their cars were going fast in the snow, like sleds, and our armored pickups were completely stuck in the snow and destroyed one by one."

   "Automatic rifles, machine guns... There is also a long barrel with a long barrel that can pierce through steel plates. Their firepower is very strong, and we suffered heavy casualties as soon as they hit."

   "It wasn't even just firepower, they fought us hand to hand with axes and bayonets, and we were no match for them at all."

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

   Usually they take the initiative to launch hand-to-hand combat, using incendiary bombs and projectiles to force the defenders to leave the cover, and then charge with bayonets.

   This saves bullets.

  It was the first time they met, and they played more brutally than them...

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

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

   Yu shook his head.

   "Bombed."

   The short three words made the surrounding air stiff as if it were frozen.

   Everyone who was listening on the side held their breath involuntarily.

   was bombed?

   That big guy with dozens of tons?

   Steel Tooth's expression was slightly moved, and he suddenly recalled the previous looting in the central region.

   They were in trouble at the time, and a survivor colony could not be conquered for a long time.

  The locals got a cannon from nowhere, and they suffered heavy casualties in the process of attacking the fortress.

   Until later, their captain, the black snake, got a tank from the leader.

  The shells hit that tank like a tickling.

  The originally despairing fortification was like paper in front of the steel crawler, and they effortlessly pierced through it and slaughtered the defenders.

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

   What the **** could blow it up! ?

   "...At least two thousand troops were besieging us, and these survivors were probably supported by Boulder."

   "We are not their opponents, neither is Liontooth."

   "It was a wrong decision to target them from the start, and a more serious mistake is that we thought we could end this war in winter."

  Two thousand teams!

  The people around were whispering, and their faces were no longer just fear, but fear that could be seen with the naked eye.

   Steel Teeth also looked solemn.

   In addition to being afraid, he didn't understand.

  If these people are so strong, why did they fight him so hard a month ago?

   Gangya remembers very clearly that at that time he only brought a centenarian to support the besieged vanguard.

  Although they didn't get any benefit after fighting for a day, they also destroyed a team of elites.

   At that time, he did not have a high evaluation of the strength of the survivors in this area, and he was able to make up two hundred people.

   If you give him more people, he can beat this place by himself without even needing Lord Black Snake to take action.

   But now, the people who escaped from the front line told him that there were two thousand troops besieging them!

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

   Does it take time to have a baby?

   This expansion rate is too fast!

   Steel Tooth 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 Fang are of the same clan, and they are both members of the Fang clan, so Lion Fang should not embarrass him.

   Beaver, Tie Knee and the other ten commanders looked at each other, but did not dare to speak.

   Honestly, 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 Vale Province, the farther away the better...

  …

   Entrance to the 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 still arrived at the front line before dark.

   The war here is long over.

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

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

   Such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

   As one of the veteran players who joined the game in the early version, he is not only a cook, but also a physique-type awakener.

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

  The aroma of the food in the temporary camp was filled with the air, and the players couldn't be idle again. It was like a festival for a while.

  The prisoners of war who were chained to the side were swallowing hard, but they didn't dare to eat.

   Soon the two players walked over holding their noses and threw a bucket full of nutritional ointment on the ground.

   "Eat."

  Although the nutritional paste was frozen like ice cubes, the captives didn't dislike it at all, and almost didn't fight for a few bites.

   Several players stood by and watched, chatting.

   "Speaking of which, where have all the prisoners we captured ended up being sent?"

   "Longevity Farm seems to have a prison, and I remember there was one at the outpost."

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

   "How could it be possible for everyone to live in the house? I heard that there seems to be a labor camp in the north of Linghu Lake. It is estimated that they will be sent there to open up wasteland."

   "Potato digging? Thrilling."

the other side.

  The rescued slaves were also given some rations and living branches and firewood.

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

The   -like hot porridge entered the stomach, and people's faces showed reassurance.

   The new owner doesn't seem bad.

   didn't eat them, even gave them something warm to eat.

  Many people began to have hope for their future life.

   trotted to Liu Ding's side, and Lu Beili gave a military salute.

   "Report! The statistics are complete, a total of 488 slaves were liberated! A total of 257 prisoners of war!"

   There are nearly seven hundred people in total.

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

   Then the command issued an instruction. After resting on the spot for half an hour, they immediately set off on the road to bring all the supplies and prisoners of war to Changchang Farm, and the liberated survivors were transferred to temporary shelters.

   "You go and inform our soldiers that we will leave in half an hour."

  Lu Bei said neatly.

"Yes!"

After   , the boy trotted in the direction of the players.

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

  488 people.

   Most of them are young adults, 70% male and 30% female. There are almost no elderly people, let alone a single child.

   This is clearly not a normal age structure.

   Obviously, there is only one possibility.

   "...These beasts."

   Glancing at the prisoners of war not far away who were vying for nutritional cream, 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 can only walk.

   including himself.

  …

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

   The cat ears above his head swayed gently, and the sesame paste squatting on the snow comforted the crying girl.

not far away.

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

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

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

   "No, your intelligence is very useful, and what you do is also in line with the positioning 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 this reasonable!"

   Even those little rookies fought a battle!

   Fang Chang said with a smile.

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

  In the current version, in the war between factions, bullets will be fired before the mission starts, and you can keep it before you finish it.

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

   If you shoot, you may miss out. If you miss two shots, you will lose blood. It’s better to go up and fight meleely. Ordinary predators are not opponents at all.

   But it's been less recently.

   The income of the mission has risen again and again, the price of bullets is still the same, and the soldier occupation is still discounted by 10%, but the materials are not so scarce.

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

   Ye Shi rolled his eyes, squatted beside him and picked up a potato, which he also peeled.

All the dry food    brought with him was exhausted. He was very hungry at the moment. He just wanted to eat a hot meal quickly.

   "Where's Lao Bai?"

   Fang Chang said casually.

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

  Ye Ten smiled.

   "Ah this... does Lao Bai trust me so much?"

   Gufeng glanced at him.

"What do you want to do?"

   Ye Shi said with a wicked smile, "Hey, nothing, I was just thinking about painting him a beard or something."

   Fang Chang rolled his eyes.

   "Can you make some progress?"

   Gu Feng coughed lightly and said, "Are you sure you want to destroy the trust between people? We all have times during the day."

   As soon as he heard this, Ye Shi immediately froze and said with a smile.

   "Uh, I was just kidding."
