There was only one cigarette during the break, and few of the new prisoners actually smoked bark cigarettes. The foremen looked a little worried, but they did not make any special moves. Instead, they carefully searched and confiscated the tobacco hidden everywhere. , and distributed them to the old prisoners.
The latter just started puffing away at the cigarette. Li Hao, who was always bold and careful in the crowd, caught Shen Rusong's look and leaned over to an old captive soldier who had a prosthetic leg on his left calf. He offered a pinch of tobacco that he had hidden in place and pretended to please him: "Hey. , Brother, this smells really good, how often can I give you one?"
"If you have to work, we will give you two per day. No matter what kind of work we are divided into, if we are the only ones who can do the work, we will give more as appropriate." The speaker is called Zhou Yunsheng, and his face is not as skinny and skinny as ordinary people think of drug addicts. He looked neither human nor ghost, and overall he was still thin and strong like a soldier, with a swarthy complexion but a red glow that showed he was well-nourished.
When Zhou Yunsheng saw that there was no fire, he was not timid at all. He went straight to the foreman and asked him to take a piece of charcoal from the stove and light it for him. He babbled in barbarian language as if to say thank you, and then squatted down. On the steps, he gave instructions to Li Hao: "You can live here just fine. If you don't stir up trouble, they won't give you any encouragement. But you must remember that you can be disrespectful to their clan leaders, sacrifices, and shamans, and you will be beaten severely at most." You won't die. If you dare to say a bad word to the 'Better', no one can save you." Zhou Yunsheng's words seemed to bite his tongue. When asked, it turned out that he was from Yungang Underground City and had been a sailor in the past. , my voice was severely hoarse by the sea breeze.
I didn’t have time to ask in detail what I meant.
Who exactly is the "fetter"? The work bell rang, and Zhou Yunsheng didn't want to say more in front of the foreman.
The nearly thirty members of the vanguard reconnaissance team who were captured together were naturally scattered in various production workshops.
When Shen Rusong came in early, he observed that this ordnance factory was built in the hollowed-out mountain. The first floor stretched for thousands of meters. Based on the size of the armor workshop he was in, there might be hundreds of workshops.
At this scale, even with manual assembly, the daily production capacity is an astonishing number. Shen Rusong assembled three pieces of armor in one day, and the ones next to them were called
"Lao Cai"'s old captive soldiers made seven items. Nearly forty people are busy in this workshop, which is the size of two middle school teachers. Although the two hundred or so pieces of armor made together are not the final product and still need to be colored and painted, it can be seen that at most After two or three processes, it will have complete combat effectiveness.
If two hundred pieces of this low-end version of the water-cooled armor could be made every month, the valley savages might have formed a considerable number of sophisticated troops.
So why have these savage troops never appeared on the front lines? With such thoughts in mind, around eight o'clock in the evening, a group of captive soldiers were escorted back to their respective cells.
Because of work, there was an extra piece of fist-sized, roasted and especially oily wild boar in today’s dinner.
Shen Rusong ate the rice porridge hastily. The ingredients for the roasted wild boar meat were definitely not that good, and there was a lingering smell. Seeing that Shen Rusong had lost his appetite, Qi Qian immediately screamed and ate the piece of meat. After eating it, he looked like a wild wolf.
"When you come here, you don't work and you don't get judged. You live like a vacation. Look, you've put on some weight." Shen Rusong laughed.
Qi Qianzhen pinched the flesh on his belly and said with a pretentious tone: "Hey, my eight-pack abs are almost in one piece. Eating and sleeping like this will make my life happier than being locked up in a dark room. If I catch you, that red guy I would rather send a girl to interrogate me..." Shen Rusong interrupted the god's words and asked, holding back his speech: "You have been here for so long, but you have not come up with anything except the useless things you said before. Something valuable?" They had been inmates together for half a month, and the two of them had almost finished talking.
According to what Qi Qian heard, this building is called in barbarian language
The valley of "Paradise Valley" is the size of a subdivision of Yongshan Underground City, about 120 square kilometers.
Surrounded by mountain walls, there is only a very narrow entrance, so this is a rare low-radiation area in Tong'an Mountains.
It is rich in products and luxuriant water and grass. Once discovered by the savage tribe, it quickly became the center of the gray savages in the entire north of Huijiang River.
It is said that such a fertile area should have naturally evolved into a city before the war. However, from Shen Rusong's memory, there is no large-scale town built in the Tong'an Mountains in the northeast of the alliance. There are only some forestry towns and military bases, and many It was deserted before the war, and even more desolate after the war. Why does a paradise appear now?
After the nuclear war, many basins and valleys created by nuclear strikes were indeed formed, but such places are absolute restricted areas for life. To say they are barren is a bit harsh.
The only possible march in this paradise valley is caused by geological movement? The number of savages stationed in the valley was estimated by Qi Qian's visual inspection to be at least the same as the 30,000 permanent population of the Yanqi base. If the unreachable areas are included, the number may be doubled.
The tribal composition here is relatively complex, but it is basically ruled by five core tribes. The specific names are not known. According to the totem poles seen occasionally when traveling, they are mainly mountain wolves, eight-jointed spiders, white-fronted bears, and black suns. , Blood Spear these five.
as well as
The direct tribe of "The Binder"
"small boat with windows". Qi Qian has been reluctant to talk
"The Binder", Shen Rusong didn't force himself because he was still injured, but now he can suppress this lame boy with force. What's more, Qi Qian doesn't stop working at all, but is assigned to other divisions. As long as he went out and did some disloyal acts, Shen Rusong didn't mind a prison incident at all.
This is called clearing the door for the motherland. Under Shen Rusong's coercion and inducement, Qi Qian first swore to God that he had never smoked bark cigarettes, and then he paid special attention to the fact that there was no one outside the cell door, and then explained in a low voice.
"The Binder" is rarely mentioned in Paradise Valley, but whenever this person's name is mentioned, the gray savages around him are all in awe.
When trading large quantities of goods, dividing rations, or even life and death duels, they are all called
The name "Binder" is used to add a sense of sanctity to the ceremony, just like the god of the wild people. The momentum and equipment of the savage warriors of the Bi tribe are far superior to those of the other five tribes. They are basically Renaissance Army standard rifles plus practical armor with savage characteristics.
Feathers of different colors are inserted into the side ears, obviously to distinguish between ranks.
"Gone?"
"No more." Qi Qian said that he really didn't know any new information.
The "Binder" almost never appears in public, which is completely opposite to the majestic and famous chiefs of other tribes.
Even through some rumors, Qi Qian thought it was a woman. Shen Rusong didn't mind what gender it was, but in his old understanding, it was a troublesome thing to rule the divided savage tribe.
Moreover, according to the plan before crossing the Huijiang River, three thousand people were dispatched to find and clear out the savages' lair. This was simply giving away meat!
Moreover, Xin Twenty-four and Yevlina had not appeared again for four or five days in a row. Shen Rusong's intention to tell some true and false intelligence to obtain information was of no use. He was a little upset and fell asleep.
Wait until the break time the next day to meet with Li Minbo and others. The few people were already alert, and they quickly discovered that the savages did not seem to be trying to isolate them at all. Instead, they allowed all the Renaissance Army prisoners to stay together for fun, abandoning the old captives who had formed a small team of their own. This time, the number reached more than a hundred. people.
From the dog tags we carry with us, we can see that they come from various places, from Longshan to Qamdo, to Qingniyungang. When asked, they were all captured in the recent past.
"I am from the 3rd Automobile Company of the Beiqin Infantry Regiment. I was driving across the Huijiang Floating Bridge and was ambushed after driving for half a day. All the members of the company who survived fell here."
"Fifteen people in your company survived, right? In my company, only two of them survived, me and him."
"Is this a defeat for the front line?"
"Fart, when have we ever been defeated?!" After a disagreement, someone in the crowd started fighting. The high-ranking officer immediately went to break up the fight, which just pointed out the target to Li Minbo.
The highest ranking person in the crowd was a lieutenant, the deputy commander of the automobile company, named Pang Rensheng, and then there was a second lieutenant.
The three of them worked together to control the crowd, but the officer still had a great intimidating effect. All the new prisoners immediately stood in line, organized according to the usual method, and stood at attention again while chanting and dispersed.
The savage foreman outside the blockade watched with great interest, seeming to understand the silent demonstration of the prisoners.
"I suspect this is deliberately allowing us to cause trouble so as to give us a reason to take action." Shen Rusong whispered, and the three officers, including Li Minbo, nodded in agreement.
"Now is not the time for an uprising. We must first integrate internally, win over the older groups as much as possible, understand the situation, and establish an effective organization. It is best to cooperate internally and externally." Pang Rensheng, who has a conspicuous black mole on his nose, preached .
Li Minbo's eyes moved, and he mentioned: "What Lieutenant Pang said is very necessary, but we must establish our prestige and not let ourselves and our enemies feel that we can be bullied or divided. Therefore, I propose to create trouble first." , to find out the enemy’s bottom line.”
"I already thought of a plan yesterday." The next day, at the same release time, every prisoner who entered the release area received a bark cigarette one by one. The difference from the previous two days was that no one lit a fire and smoked. Instead, they lined up after entering, threw the bark smoke to the ground, and crushed it with their feet.
"We are glorious soldiers of the Renaissance Army and we will not be exposed to drugs in any form!" After saying this, Li Minbo took the lead and rushed towards the old captive soldier who was sulking and smoking, and they immediately got into a fight!
Shen Rusong, Yang Qi, Xie Guorong, and Li Hao had a tacit understanding, and they were able to defeat several old captive soldiers who were caught off guard. But soon, the one-sided situation quickly escaped the control of the new captive soldiers.
With a shout, the prisoners in old-fashioned military uniforms decisively abandoned their knocked down companions and retreated to the entrance to form a hard circle formation, taking turns to resist the impact.
This group of them had lived in the valley for several years, and their physiques were stronger than the newcomers who had been injured, and their fighting skills were also better. At one time, more than a hundred people were fighting against these forty people, but they were unable to start.
The purpose of a fight is never just to fight. When Shen Rusong saw the small Shen Si sneaking into the old prisoner's side by taking advantage of the similarity in military uniforms, he knew that the plan was half successful.
