After Wei Ling and others digested the image information Du Ruo threw, they felt a little heavy.
Du Ruo turned his head and looked at the scarred and damaged "White Pheasant". He smiled bitterly and repeated his previous point:
"It would have been great if you had come yesterday... In the forest at night, we don't have the support of a warlock. We are at a huge disadvantage. It is equivalent to the home field of those beasts..."
Immediately, he continued to throw out an information packet, which was a collection of scenes that happened today.
After daybreak, Du Ruo and the soldiers on the city wall who had stayed up all night looked sadly at the messy city outside, feeling sad for their fallen comrades.
At the foot of the mountains in the distance, mutated beasts appeared one after another.
What they saw next was a bit weird and funny.
The robbed supply platform had been violently dismantled into strange objects, which were carried on the paws of different mutant beasts.
Some of the monkeys held half of the guns in their hands and imitated the movements of the soldiers raising the guns, but they were confused as to why they did not activate energy attacks or fire bullets.
Some big monkeys are carrying complete firearms, but they still cannot be activated, because the empire's firearms all have activation keys, which are bound to the fingerprints, pupil patterns and even brainwave characteristics of the sergeants holding the weapons, which they cannot activate at all. .
Only those few tubes of old individual missiles were designed based on the principle of being simple and reliable. They did not have any technological settings at all and were fiddled with by a bunch of monkeys.
What's annoying and ridiculous is that they actually found a missile suitable for the diameter of the tube based on the size of the launch tube, and coincidentally installed the front and back of the missile correctly, and then accidentally fired it.
"Bang..."
With a muffled sound, the missile emitted fireworks and flew randomly on the river beach from a straight-up angle, blowing up several of the companions of the mutant beasts. The result was that the mutant beasts let out bursts of cheers and screams.
Du Ruo and others looked at this strange scene on the wall, but they couldn't laugh.
Until finally, the monkey, who was nearly 2 meters tall, installed the launch tube again, put it on his shoulder like a human, and pointed it at the city wall.
Du Ruo was still not worried, not even nervous.
Damn beast, do you still know how to target?
…
"Is that so? Is this possible?"
Xie Wuyi was a little crazy.
"Damn it, we were beaten down by monkeys?"
Li Lingyou felt as if he was sleepwalking.
Welling added calmly:
"Yes, if nothing else, we were locked by two monkeys using the oldest individual shoulder-resistant short-range missiles, and successfully destroyed the power unit, and then made an emergency landing in Jiayuan County."
Shou Gong calmly stated the truth:
"When it encountered the attack, our vehicle was flying at an altitude of 350 meters, at a speed of 280 kilometers per hour, and in an automatic managed cruise state.
If we fly at an altitude of 800 meters, the vehicle's automatic hosting system will have enough time to avoid missiles. Above 800 meters, ordinary people cannot lock the target with such old missiles, and it is even harder for monkeys! "
Yang Xiaohe sighed and used his last strike:
"The normal flight altitude of a Bluebird-class vehicle is over 2,000 meters, and the speed is at least about 400 kilometers."
Xie Wuyi suddenly felt guilty:
“Well…it seems like we didn’t have any injuries.
Well, Xuan Ming, your little scratches don't count... Well, I mean, I spent all the New Year's money I had before I was ten to buy this vehicle...
It doesn’t matter even if there is a loss, hehehehe...
We can also help Du Ruo to kill those mutated beasts..."
She turned to look at Du Ruo:
"Du Ruo, did those mutated beasts attack during the whole day?"
"There was no decent attack. Once they got close, we stood high on the city wall and killed them from a long distance. They even dragged away the corpses of the same kind."
Welling nodded:
"Well, I'm worried that they will continue to attack at night. We will assist you in defending the city tonight."
Then, he sent a message to others:
"We will sort out the items in the vehicle to see if there are any usable weapons and ammunition, and then go to the underground bunker to see the residents and help defend the city at night."
The group immediately took action.
The gecko entered the vehicle again and took out the few weapons in the vehicle.
Of course, this "White Pheasant" does not have a perverted large-caliber rapid-fire cannon like the "Hyacinth".
Welling looked at the small and lightweight firearms and shook his head slightly.
When these things are used to deal with those mutant beasts with rough skin and thick flesh, they will probably get twice the result with half the effort.
The only good news is that Wei Ling and Gong Gong are carrying all the cold weapons.
"By the way, Gonggong, the rescue facility of the White Pheasant should still be usable. Turn on the rescue signal."
"It's already turned on, sir."
Shou Gong nodded.
"Brother Du Ruo, please take us to the underground bunker to have a look and report to the county magistrate."
Wei Ling looked at Du Ruo and threw out the message.
"Okay, please follow me."
Du Ruo led a few people, avoiding the obstructive stones and ruins at their feet, and entered a small sunken square in the center of the county, which contained a large elevator that went underground.
Fortunately, these elevators have independent backup power supplies and will not lose power due to the loss of the main power supply. At least they can continue to go up and down for a while.
Naturally, the speed of the elevator cannot be compared with the equipment in Iasi County. The speed is much slower. It feels like it takes a long time to descend before finally descending to a depth of several hundred meters underground.
The group walked out of the elevator and saw a vast square.
The light is not that bright, but fortunately it is acceptable.
The smell is a bit dull and the air is not very fresh, but it is bearable.
The space is a bit depressing, with quite a few structural columns standing in different areas. It looks a bit like a large air-raid shelter in the old days.
Looking up, the top is dark, not at all luxurious like the natural canopy of the underground city in Iasi County.
Thousands of people were sitting or lying in different areas in this vast square. Occasionally, the cry of a child could be heard, but it was quickly stopped by his parents. Many painful groans could also be heard from the injured area.
Many people are busy, including medical staff, cleaning staff, catering volunteers, security personnel... busy but not chaotic, which shows that County Magistrate Lu Ying still has certain abilities.
Passing through the passage that divided the area, the group quickly saw County Magistrate Lu Ying busy in a command area.
Lu Ying looked to be in her seventies or eighties, looking a little old and tired.
Then, he should not be a warlock, otherwise, he should not give people a feeling of lack of energy.
However, in this era when the average life expectancy is about 150 years old, it is still a suitable age for working.
Lu Ying was a little surprised when she saw Du Ruo coming over with five young people wearing warlock robes and four teenage children.
Du Ruo bowed his hands and revealed to Lu Ying the identities of Wei Ling and his party and the reason for their forced landing.
Lu Ying's expression became obviously happy:
"Ah, that's it. I feel more relieved. Just now I was worried about whether the dozens of people above would be able to defend the city at night.
If we cannot hold on, we will have to evacuate the surface and wait for rescue below. "
Wei Ling smiled and nodded:
"Don't worry, Master Du. The five of us are all warlocks and combat sergeants who can stand alone. This Yang Xiaohe has also served in the legion completely and is still a mid-level warlock;
This Li Lingyou just retired from the Western Wasteland Army this year and has always been a warlock with the army.
This lady is Xie Wuyi, who was also a legionary warlock.
This is Gonggong, the most powerful fighting sergeant.
I am Welling, a warlock, and I have also participated in the Battle of Iasi. I can check for any leaks and make up for them, so you can rest assured. "
Lu Ying nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face:
"Don't worry, don't worry! Jiayuan County is too small and has a small population. The empire does not have the corresponding warlock personnel here!
After all, I usually overskill myself, who would have thought that this would happen..."
Du Ruo inserts information:
"Sir, when the rescuers arrive, I will ask the corps director for punishment myself. It was my lack of consideration and improper command last night that caused such huge losses."
Du Ruo looked guilty.
Lu Ying hurriedly comforted Du Ruo:
"No, no, in that case, in order to rescue those citizens who were dragged away, your handling was correct. When you were really unable to control the situation, you were able to withdraw as many people as possible in time. I think it was a meritorious service. Passed."
Welling insert information:
"I think Mr. Lu's point of view is reasonable. Brother Du Ruo, you don't need to think too much at this moment. I believe that the higher-ups will make a detailed assessment of your command and response.
I think by tomorrow afternoon, the army will be here to take over. "
Yang Xiaohe and Li Lingyou nodded secretly.
Because several people flew to the Imperial Capital in the morning, and even if they drove the vehicle slower, they would arrive at the Imperial Capital early tomorrow morning at the latest.
Although Xie Wuyi's three escorts are not accompanying him, they will definitely pay attention to the situation of the "White Pheasant" vehicle at any time. If it does not arrive tomorrow morning, they will definitely report it to the superiors.
Once the senior officials of Yaxi or Xie Clan are informed of the situation, they will definitely send sergeants of the Western Wasteland Army nearby to search along the route.
Then, they will inevitably find the distress signal sent by the "White Pheasant" and land here.
There will be no surprises in this judgment. Just because those three people are Xie Wuyi's guards, there must be no doubt about the most basic professional qualities.
Naturally, the county magistrate Lu Ying would not guess the basis for Wei Ling's judgment. He nodded slightly:
"As usual, Jiayuan County must be connected to the imperial network every day to report and hand over official duties, but there was no connection all day today.
Even if the above guesses whether the loss of connection is caused by power supply or equipment failure, tolerate it.
A conservative estimate is that on the third day, that is, tomorrow, someone will definitely be sent to check.
In this underground protective bunker, various supplies are stored, enough to support all personnel for more than ten days.
Therefore, I am not worried about more subsequent dangers, but I am not willing to let the losses expand. "
Wei Ling looked at each other and nodded:
"Very good, then we can rest assured. Mr. Lu, I will put these children here, and the four of us will go up there to help defend."
Seeing that Jinu, Nanxing and Xuanming looked unhappy, Wei Ling added:
"Okay, you four can also go up to the city wall to help, but you have to come down after dark."
Nan Xing and the other four nodded frequently, and Xuan Ming threw a message to Lu Ying:
"Master Lu, we won't cause trouble. We are all little warlocks. We can't help much, but we can assist. Come down when it gets dark and dangerous."
Lu Ying was a little surprised:
"Such a small warlock! Powerful, powerful, please be safe."
After bidding farewell to the county magistrate for a moment, several people returned the same way and climbed up to the city wall, which was more than ten meters long.
On the city wall of the small county, there are not as many phalanxes and rapid-fire camera positions as there are on the city wall of Yaxi County, and there are not even alloy covering parts.
Only the front facade of the city wall has alloy plates a few centimeters thick, which is better than nothing.
The sun sets over the western mountains, and dusk has fallen.
With the eyesight of Wei Ling and others, they could naturally see the unnatural swaying of the big trees in the distant mountain forest. There must be a large number of mutant beasts lurking inside, waiting for dark to attack the county town.
Led by Du Ruo, the nine people walked around the more than 2,000-meter-long city wall.
Du Ruo introduced the identities of Wei Ling and others as sorcerers to the armed sergeants and militia members on the city wall.
Welling obviously felt that his morale had improved a lot.
Several warlocks arrived, and the sergeants and militiamen were naturally relieved.
Xuan Ming, Nan Xing and Ji Nu's expressions were tense.
They were afraid that the sergeants would show their contempt for children.
Only Shanglu had the word guilty on his face.
The gecko couldn't help but want to rub his chubby face.
