"Last time, in order to take away the materials from the photovoltaic power plant gathering place, we lured all the alien species to the west gate..."
"I know, go directly to Ximen..."
Meng Xian nodded, this time they were here to occupy the territory, so these alien species must be eliminated to avoid future troubles.
Soon, the group arrived near the west gate, stopped at the edge of the woods and looked into the electronics factory.
"No movement..."
After taking a few glances, Meng Xian turned to look at one person and said, "Eagle Eye, have you seen the alien species?!"
"without……"
At night, there was a person in the crowd whose eyes were emitting a faint green light. After scanning the situation near the west gate, he shook his head and said that he had not seen any alien species.
"Not here?!"
Meng Xian turned to look at Xiaoliu and said, "It was you who lured them away last time. Where have these alien species gone?!"
Xiaoliu also looked confused, "I don't know, I lured them here, hung a happy birthday lantern on the tree and ran away..."
"Forget it, let's go in and take a look!"
Meng Xian shook her head. Although it was different from what she thought before, it didn't matter. They came here to eliminate the alien species.
The group quickly walked out of the woods and walked into the electronics factory along the west gate.
"Hawkeye?!"
As soon as she walked in, Meng Xian couldn't wait to ask.
"No...no!"
Hawkeye was a little confused, shook his head and said: "There are no alien species within the range of sight!"
"this……"
Meng Xian was a little confused, "Did someone else lure the alien species away?!"
"possible!"
Xiao Liu nodded and said: "We can use this method to lure away the alien species, and others should be able to do the same!"
"keep going!"
Meng Xian had an ominous premonition in her heart, but at the moment she could only suppress it and continue moving forward with everyone.
The further they walked in, the slower everyone's pace became.
When I was walking through the woods, I could hear the sound of chatting from time to time, but when I arrived at the electronics factory, in this empty place, there was no sound at all, and no one was interested in chatting.
Everyone's face was full of solemnity, and their eyes were staring at the surroundings with vigilance. Although they couldn't see very far away in the night, they still kept turning their eyes for fear of something jumping out of the darkness. .
Even Meng Xian herself was like this. In just a few hundred meters, she shouted "Eagle Eye" several times.
Finally, just when everyone was a little shaken and wanted to retreat, Hawkeye suddenly spoke.
"There seems to be a light over there..."
"where?!"
Everyone spoke one after another. What they feared most was this silent fear. They didn't know if there was an enemy or where they were.
This kind of suffering is too uncomfortable, it is better to have a hearty battle with the alien species, life or death.
"I'm not sure, I just feel like there's a light source in that direction..."
The distance was so far that Hawkeye couldn't figure out whether he was seeing it right.
"Then go that way!" Meng Xian adjusted the direction again.
After advancing a few hundred meters in the direction Eagle Eye was pointing, Eagle Eye finally made sure.
"There really is a light source, it's an artificial light source, it should be a lamp..."
"lamp?!"
Everyone was startled, their eyes widened, and they looked in the direction mentioned by Eagle Eye, but what they saw in their eyes was nothing but darkness. How could there be any light? !
Meng Xian did not doubt Eagle Eye's words. After all, the other party was from the perception system. His eyes had been strengthened and not only had night vision, but also had vision far beyond that of ordinary people.
Moreover, according to Hawkeye, his eyes can even slow down everything around him at certain moments, which is called dynamic vision, and his eyes can keep up with high-speed moving objects.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Meng Xian urged everyone to continue taking action.
When the group once again crossed a distance of several hundred meters, they finally saw the light source that Hawkeye had mentioned.
"There's really light!"
When they can only see light, the eagle eye has already seen the situation near the light source.
He found Meng Xian with a solemn expression, "There's a situation!"
"What's wrong?!"
"The location where the light source is released is several buildings..."
"building?!"
Meng Xian was stunned for a moment, "Have other forces already settled here in advance!?"
"No, it could be worse..."
Eagle Eye said uneasily: "I saw several new buildings there..."
"Three days ago, when we came here, there were no such buildings..."
"Um?!"
Meng Xian was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "Are you sure you saw it correctly?!"
Things were so weird that she even doubted what Hawkeye said.
"Sister Meng, I'm not joking..." Hawkeye said angrily.
"It's my fault, let's go back there!"
Meng Xian didn't know what he meant by the new building, so she decided to take a closer look.
Soon, the group walked forward a few hundred meters and finally saw the new buildings that Hawkeye mentioned before.
I saw four more steel buildings in the parking lot of the original electronics factory.
Outside every building, there is an incandescent lamp that illuminates the surroundings.
“There are really new buildings…”
Everyone was shocked!
Many people had been here three days ago, and it was clear that there were no such buildings there before.
“Four houses were built in just three days?!”
Meng Xian only felt ridiculous. This was not before the end of the world. At that time, if there was official coordination, such a house could be built in a short time.
"It should be a prefabricated house..."
Someone soon made a conjecture. Before the end of the world, they had also heard that some houses could be built with frames first, and then shipped to the destination for assembly. In this way, let alone four houses, even an eighteen-story house. Tall buildings can be assembled overnight.
"Well, this is the only possibility!"
Meng Xian nodded, but felt a little unbelievable, "In this day and age, what other force can achieve this level?!"
What really shocked her was not the difficulty of assembly, but how to transport these iron lumps here from another place.
After the end of the world, the biggest problem is the inconvenience of information communication between people and the problem of blocked roads.
"Sister Meng, there is someone!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Meng Xian looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and sure enough, under the light, a soldier in military uniform walked past with a rifle.
"military uniform……"
"Patrol soldiers..."
Everyone looked at each other, a little stunned, and didn't understand why they met soldiers here.
"Could it be that I just robbed a military labor insurance store to wear this kind of clothes?!"
"Impossible. I was a soldier before. The soldier behaved very strictly. He was obviously a person who had undergone long-term training..."
"There are other soldiers..."
Everyone soon discovered that there was more than one patrolling soldier.
"this……"
"Eagle Eye, count them and see how many there are!"
"good!"
After about ten minutes, Hawkeye relied on his excellent eyesight to figure out the situation at the base.
"There are eight soldiers in total. These are just patrolling outside. I don't know how many soldiers there are in the four steel buildings..."
Meng Xian asked many people, but no one could tell what the four buildings were used for.
It's just that those four buildings look so strange that I've never seen them before. Their style doesn't look local, but rather like a foreign product.
"We have soldiers and the ability to transport steel parts in a short period of time..."
"Sister Meng, could they be from Black Rock City?!"
"Black Rock City?!"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Many people have heard the legend of Black Rock City told by Meng Xian. Although they have never been there, they know how powerful it is.
Blackstone City is one of the few cities that can withstand the invasion of mutant beasts. Although they chose a tricky way to create something that the mutant beasts didn't like, it also ensured the safety of the city to a certain extent.
In addition, Blackstone City has the headquarters of the Reed Group, which is the envy of all ordinary people. There are genetic potions there that can make people strong.
"Why don't we leave..."
"Go back. Since this place is occupied by a big force, it's useless for us to come..."
Many people in the crowd backed down.
After all, the opponent has both soldiers and the ability to transport steel buildings.
A force with this kind of ability cannot be resisted by just Zhuangzi.
"But, this is obviously our territory..."
Xiao Liu was a little reluctant, "Three days ago, when we came here, we were still without an owner..."
"You also know that it is ownerless, so if they occupy it, how can it be our territory?!"
"Sister Meng, what do you think we should do?!"
Some people didn't want to just retreat and asked Meng Xian for her opinion.
Meng Xian is also in a dilemma. From a rational point of view, it is best to retreat now and pretend that nothing happened.
But she was also a little reluctant. After all, this electronics factory was near where they gathered. It should have been their territory, but now it...
"It's not necessarily a bad thing..."
After Meng Xian thought for a moment, she said, "I have been to Black Rock City, and no one from the forces there would want to develop in a place like this..."
"They should have some kind of mission, maybe they will leave after completing the mission..."
Someone questioned: "But they have installed all the steel buildings..."
"Yes, this kind of thing is extremely expensive no matter how you think about it. Just transporting it by helicopter will cost a lot of money..."
"Would you do this for a simple mission?!"
The crowd was suddenly divided into two groups. One group strongly opposed it and wanted to leave here as soon as possible before the other party noticed it to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The other group of people are a little unwilling to do so. Although their number is small, they are all strengtheners and their right to speak is not light.
"In this way, send someone over to inquire about the situation. If they really just perform a task and leave after completing the task, then it would not be a bad thing for us..."
Meng Xian thought for a while and finally decided to send someone over to find out the situation.
"Forget it, I'll go there myself!"
She thought about it, these soldiers must be very good at marksmanship after training all day, and everyone else except her was in danger in the past.
"No, Sister Meng, you are the leader, how can you take risks at this time?!"
"That's right, you are our backbone. If something happens to you, Mengjiazhuang will be broken up!"
Everyone tried to dissuade him.
Xiaoliu said: "Sister Meng, let me go. I am a speed enhancer. I can escape in unexpected situations..."
"Yes, Sister Meng, let Brother Six go..."
After some discussion, it was finally decided to let Xiao Liu go over to investigate the situation.
"Eagle Eye, you take the sniper team to find the location, and you must ensure Xiao Liu's safety..." Seeing this, Meng Xian could only agree, but she still asked Eagle Eye and several other people with sniper rifles to stand by. Support.
Meng Xian hesitated for a moment and then said: "Don't be afraid of them. If Xiao Liu is in danger, just shoot. At worst, we will kill their people here. Let's just run away..."
She knows Black Rock City well. Although the big forces are strong, they are far away from Black Rock City after all. It would be time-consuming and laborious to mobilize troops here. If they had that time, they would have escaped long ago. If the matter was exposed, they would continue to move the gathering place.
Soon, the group of people divided into three groups. Xiao Liu went to test it alone. The sniper team led by Hawkeye found a position to protect Xiao Liu. The others stayed where they were. If the situation went wrong, they immediately rushed to support.
Leading the sniper team away from the crowd, Hawkeye ordered before dispersing: "In a moment, listen to the sound of my gun. If I shoot, you will shoot..."
"But be careful, don't kill people, just attack their arms to make them lose their fighting ability..."
Eagle Eye knows very well that killing and wounding are two different concepts. Killing someone is tantamount to provoking the other party, while wounding leaves room for negotiation.
Then, he divided the eight patrolling soldiers in order to ensure that the bullets would not hit the same person, and then dispersed.
Xiao Liu unloaded all the guns and ammunition, and then walked towards the base alone.
This time, he did not hide his figure and walked towards the base in a swaggering manner.
When he was seventy or eighty meters away from the base, the patrolling mobilization soldiers finally discovered his traces.
"Warning, important military area, stop anyone else!"
Eight conscripts quickly gathered together and aimed their guns at Xiaoliu from a long distance away.
Xiao Liu quickly raised his hands and said loudly: "I am a civilian, don't shoot, I am hungry, do you have anything to eat here?!"
As he spoke, he continued walking that way, wanting to take a few steps closer.
At the base, the eight conscripts were still pointing guns at Xiaoliu while repeating their previous words.
But Xiaoliu didn't seem to hear it and kept walking his own way.
Finally, when the distance between the two sides narrowed to fifty meters, the early warning order left by Zhao Yu for the mobilization soldiers was triggered.
"Bang~!"
A mobilization soldier opened fire and shot at Xiao Liu's feet.
The moment Xiao Liu heard the gunshot, he immediately rushed to the side.
The snipers hiding in the surroundings also moved in their hearts, waiting for Hawkeye's signal.
When Hawkeye saw this scene, he knew there was nothing he could do. He took the Kar98k sniper rifle in his hand and raised his hand to shoot.
"Bang~!"
The bullet passed by and instantly hit the conscript's arm.
With the sound of gunfire, other snipers got the signal and fired one after another.
In just a few seconds, five conscripts were injured in their gun-holding arms.
"Come on!"
Behind, Meng Xian saw Xiaoliu being attacked, so she didn't care about anything else and directly led people to rush to support.
"Enemy attack, kill the intruders!"
At this moment, the early warning measures in the minds of the mobilized soldiers were activated.
The uninjured conscript aimed at Xiao Liu's head this time, while the injured one put away his rifle and took out his pistol.
"Bang~!" "Bang~" "Bang~"
There was chaos on the field, and the gunfire went out after a while.
Zhao Yu left a total of twenty-seven bullets for the mobilization soldiers, which was not enough. After a while of fighting, the bullets were exhausted.
But they didn't flinch at all. They took out their bayonets and put them on the barrels of their guns, ready to go up and fight.
"Don't shoot, enter the strengthener..."
Meng Xian found out that the other side's soldiers had been shot many times, but Xiao Liu was intact. She couldn't help being surprised and said quickly.
Soon, with the cooperation of snipers and intensifiers, all eight conscripts were captured, with each man receiving two bullets.
"Stop their bleeding and bandage their wounds!"
After calming down, Meng Xian was still a little worried and afraid of life.
"Boss, their guns are out of bullets!"
"Um?!"
The confiscated trophies totaled eight rifles, eight pistols and sixteen sabers.
The rifles and pistols were almost empty of bullets.
"Did they shoot so many?!"
Meng Xian was a little confused. In her impression, the other side's soldiers seemed to have just fired a few shots and then all put on bayonets.
Soon, the eight conscripts were tied up with ropes.
Hawkeye and others are still hiding in the dark, preparing for possible support.
"We have been fighting for so long and no one has come out of the house. Is there no one there?!"
Meng Xian's previous plan was to have them keep an eye on the four buildings to prevent enemy reinforcements inside.
As a result, from the beginning to the end of the war, the four buildings were closed with iron gates, and there was no sign of anyone leaving.
Xiao Liu came to an iron door and knocked on it with the barrel of his gun, but got no response.
On the other side, someone had already started to torture and ask about the situation of the eight mobilized soldiers.
Who knows, no matter how they pressed, no one said a word.
"Sister Meng, something is wrong..."
"What's wrong?!"
"You know my interrogation skills. Even if a pig falls into my hands, it will still moan like one, two, three, four..."
"But these soldiers are all very tough. From just now to now, they haven't said a word..."
"this……"
Meng Xian was a little shocked. She walked over and took a look. Several soldiers had blood holes on their fingers, but they looked at everyone with expressionless faces, as if they couldn't feel the pain.
"Elite!"
The word she could think of at the moment was this, this kind of soldier cannot be trained by ordinary forces!
"Can't they be from the Lord's Mansion of Black Rock City?!"
She was a little uneasy and asked, "Where are you from?"
I asked several times and got no response.
Someone couldn't help it anymore, "Sister Meng, why don't we kill them..."
At this time, Xiao Liu brought someone back, "Sister Meng, the doors of the four buildings cannot be opened..."
"If you want to break it open by force, you may need to use explosives..."
This is how to do? !
Meng Xian was a little anxious. She originally thought that if she captured someone, she could ask him something, so that she could decide what to do next.
Who knew that these soldiers were so tough-talking that no matter how hard they pressed, they would not say a word.
This kind of loyalty, she could think of, could only be cultivated by powerful forces.
"You can't kill them. There is a surveillance camera on their door. We have all been seen..."
"Damn it, then destroy the surveillance!"
"You're stupid. There must still be files of the footage taken before, unless you can go in and destroy the surveillance content..."
Everyone was arguing.
Meng Xian was also a little panicked. She thought it might be someone sent by a company in Black Rock City, but the performance of these eight soldiers was a bit unexpected, and it was not something that an ordinary small company could afford.
They had gone to great lengths to deliver four steel buildings, and they would definitely not give up just like that.
When these people know that their soldiers have been attacked, they will definitely send more people, including strengtheners.
Meng Xian knew very well that she was only a third-level enhancer and might be a figure in the wilderness.
But in Black Rock City, Tier 3 is only an average level, and there are many people better than her.
Now she was really in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
"Sister Meng, we still have room for maneuver before we kill anyone. Once we kill someone, it will be over..." Eagle Eye seemed to see everyone's hesitation and hurried back.
"Then what do you think we should do?!" Meng Xian was completely out of ideas at this moment.
"If these people are killed, we will definitely have to move the gathering place, and we don't know how many people will die on the way. This is not a good idea..."
"So, if we don't kill people first, since these people are so hard-boned, the power behind them must be quite big..."
"We might have to talk to them..."
"How to talk?!" Meng Xian felt incredible, "We have beaten their people like this, can we still talk?!"
"We can talk!"
At times like this, Hawkeye became calmer and continued: "First of all, let's make sure that they come from other places, most likely Black Rock City, or further away..."
"This means that they are beyond their reach. No matter how powerful the forces are in their territory, there are obviously not enough manpower here. Otherwise, there would not be only eight soldiers patrolling the four buildings..."
"In addition, we have been fighting for so long, and no one has come out of the four buildings..."
"There are only two possibilities. One, there is no one in these four buildings..."
"Two, the people in these four buildings are non-combatants!"
"I prefer the second option. After all, it is unlikely that no one will stay in such a good building..."
“So, the people in these four buildings are all scientific researchers?!”
"Then no matter who is the force behind them, their purpose of coming here is most likely based on scientific research..."
"And as local snakes, we can definitely cooperate with them..."
"After all, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake..." Eagle Eye thought for a while and then said: "The fact that these eight soldiers didn't say anything has to do with the fact that they have been trained for a long time..."
"So, we can wait for one of their managers to see if we can talk..."
Meng Xian hesitated.
Now the people in the field were divided into two groups.
One group advocated killing eight soldiers, then returning to the gathering place overnight and moving to other places.
The other faction advocates staying here and waiting for the leader of this force to come over and negotiate with the other party.
But no matter which faction they belong to, they know very well that the forces behind these four buildings are very strong and cannot be provoked by them.
"Sister Meng, don't hesitate. If you kill someone, there will be no room for maneuver..."
"Yeah, the gathering place we finally built, are we going to move it like this?!"
Meng Xian thought about it for a long time and finally decided to stay and talk to the forces behind it.
Of course, one of the important reasons is that she feels that no matter who this force is, the number of people they can send is limited, and they may not be able to compete with their current strength.
If the negotiation fails, it will be too late to run away by then, unless the other party likes to do things that harm others and not benefit themselves, and send helicopters to chase them.
"Huh, even if they come, they will definitely send a helicopter over..."
"In this way, the others will ambush all around, leaving a few people here to guard their people..."
"When their people arrive, form a circle first and then see if we can talk..."
Thanks to ordinary GarpeDiem for tipping 100,
