The Great Desert is located to the west of Luoxia Province.
Although named after the desert, it is actually not as desolate as most wastelanders imagine.
The concrete buildings that collapsed or were flooded by yellow sand, as well as the rusty warehouses and factories, all show the prosperity here in the past.
Even though the rolling yellow sand has blown for two centuries, it has not completely submerged the artificial miracle spanning thousands of kilometers.
Not only that, because the underground current transport pipelines meet here, a large amount of desalinated seawater seeps into the underground rock formation due to the rupture of the pipeline, forming a rich groundwater reservoir.
Therefore, even though it is filled with earthquakes, sandstorms, radiation dust, thunderclouds and storms, the species active in this area are more prosperous than the Luoxia Province next door.
In that era, there were only a few oasis of favors left to Luoxia Province, but the situation here was completely opposite.
The remaining favors are even too numerous to overflow...
Damn...what is that thing?
The giant snake as thick as an oil barrel slowly swam past the two collapsed high-rise buildings. The cracked skin was like dry yellow soil, lurking in the soft quicksand like a huge tree.
Looking at the dozens of meters long giant snake waving forward in the quicksand, the soldier wearing an exoskeleton took two steps back with a numb scalp.
His name is Su Ming, and his position is the exact shooter. The 26 printed on his breastplate and arms are the numbers of him and his brothers, and it is also the Peugeot of the 26th Commando of the Enterprise.
As one of the few ground troops involved in the Luoxia Provincial Campaign, they mainly perform vanguards, guerrillas and sabotage missions behind enemy lines in the war.
Although most Ideal City residents counted the contribution of the victory of the war on their allies, they actually participated in many battles.
It's just that it's not that nice to write in the press release.
Walking to Su Ming's side, Yun Song stared at the giant snake and glanced at it. The box in the tactical eyepiece locked it in the center, and the progress bar walked around the edge of the box.
There is no record about it in the database... You discovered it first, why don't you give it a name?
Su Ming touched the back of his head.
Sandworm?
Before Yun Song could speak, Gu Wei, who was wearing power armor, smiled and teased.
It's too rustic, and there is already a desert next door, which is completely different from this guy.
That... the earth dragon?Big earthworm?Digging worms?
Just dig the groundworm... don't waste time.
After interrupting the conversation between the two, Yun Song stretched out his index finger and tapped twice in the air, operating the holographic window to archive the image data, and then switched to the tactical map.
The goal is about one kilometer ahead... Everyone is alert and will be able to pick up our employees home soon.
oh!Su Ming shouted weakly.
They have been in office for a whole year.
The wasteland spanned thousands of kilometers, and was even involved in the war in Luoxia Province halfway... He couldn't help but think in his heart that he could make a movie after returning from his experiences along the way.
Under Yun Song's order, the 26th Assault Squad continued to operate.
Leading by bionic soldiers and drones, the group advanced along the broken concrete highway for a while, carefully avoiding large areas of quicksand and several areas with abnormal life signals.
At this time, there was new news from the communications soldier. Yun Song raised his right fist and signaled the team members to stop at the entrance of an abandoned factory.
So far, they were only the last three hundred meters away from the Mutant Tribe. In the distant building, you could even see camouflage bunkers piled up with garbage and mutant sentries standing guard with telescopes.
...The mission status update is good news. The alliance decided to send airships to support our operations before withdrawing troops.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
They did not bring everyone with them during this attendance, and more than 30 logistics personnel and more than 20 soldiers stayed at the camp site.
With ten power armors, thirty sets of exoskeletons and less than thirty bionic soldiers, it is still difficult to kill a mutant tribe that is more than ten times theirs without heavy firepower support.
Even if they can win, they will suffer considerable casualties.
The mutants in the Great Desert did not just use iron pipe rifles. These beasts have mastered semi-automatic or even fully automatic weapons through transactions with the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom.
Not to mention that they hold the scraps and garbage from the pre-war era and their own DIY weapons.
Those things seem unreliable, but if you underestimate them, you will suffer a great loss.
For example, a mutant they had seen before, holding a hot-melting ray gun made of the Pioneer robot's head and spine, and even killed one of their power armor by sneak attack.
These unexpected attack methods make people unable to defend themselves.
Su Ming said excitedly when he heard the alliance's support was on the way.
That 400mm heavy artillery?
Yunsong nodded.
Yes... including the ground troops, and those unreliable slide machines, but we need to confirm that there are no one in the camp before we can decide whether to use an axe or a scalpel.
As he said that, he looked at the drone operator standing behind the team.
The investigation will be left to you.
receive.
A steady-looking man gestured, knocked his fist on his shoulder, and the drone backpack behind him bounced open the hatch door.
A four-rotor drone ejected like a crossbow arrow, and rushed into the sky with a whizzing sound.
The screen is connected to the tactical eyepiece of the helmet.
Although the signal is very poor, you can barely use it.
Under the control of the drone operator, the four-rotor drone carefully bypassed the mutant sentry's eyeliner and moved to the side of the building, passing through rows of twisted steel bars and concrete wreckage, and flew over the Mutant Tribe.
The entire tribe is located in an abandoned factory building.
The garbage-patched shack and the semi-collapsed factory were integrated, and large areas of iron sheds and dried animal skins blocked the twisted alleys.
However, through the gap in the blocking object, you can still see coal-like bodies, bloodthirsty fangs and knotted muscles.
They are like orcs in fantasy movies.
What is chilling is that these animals who eat raw meat and drink blood actually developed cities like humans, and even clarified the social division of labor...
There are residential areas with the smell of feces, there are arenas that vent violence and make fun of mutants, there are blacksmiths' departments and tool workshops filled with the sound of irons, plantations with unknown fruits, and pastures with various livestock...
Looking down at this huge tribe through the drone lens, the drone operator only felt his scalp numb.
Especially when he found his kind imprisoned in a cage in that garbage dump, his anger rushed to his forehead.
Oh shit……
What's wrong?Hearing his low scolding, Yun Song cast an inquiring sight at him.
The drone operator did not speak, but stretched out his index finger and stroked the air, passing the scene he saw to his teammates who were looking at him.
The drone's lens is enlarged.
I saw rows of steel bars packed together with scarred bodies.
Most people with belly erect are lucky. Mutants usually don't eat them, and those who fail to give birth to children for them are miserable.
Many of them suffered a lot, not only were their arms and legs removed, but their wounds were rotten and maggots.
Mutants themselves have extremely strong resilience and do not need bandages or anti-inflammatory drugs at all, so they will naturally not bandage the unfinished animals.
Many people sat on the ground with their eyes blank, not even the strength to drive away the mosquitoes and flies surrounding them, and some people remained motionless, wondering if they were dead.
On the chopping board not far away, the mutant priest with bare arms was delivering the human handcuffed to the chopping board in a primitive and rude way.
They don't care if those people will die in the process.
The believers of Chaos are never picky about food, and their stomachs are as strong as their muscles and bones.
Those slaves who were kept as livestock may come from the Kingdom of Falcons, or from honey badgers or lions, or even sent from farther away by slave traders... Few people will pay attention to where those who disappeared in the war ended up going.
Even though he had seen many hellish scenes along the way of the wasteland march, Su Ming's face still couldn't help but turn slightly white.
This is much crueler than those who follow the example.
The soldiers not far away from him couldn't help but retching.
These beasts!Gu Wei tightly held the heavy machine gun in his hand, wishing he could rush in and thrust them all.
They are animals, when do you think they are not?
Yun Song operated on the holographic window expressionlessly, selected some areas of the camp and marked the possible places where living people were present.
After all this, he signaled the communications corps to set up a signal enhancement device, which roughly aimed at the direction of the Iron Heart.
Here is the 26th Commando. We have confirmed the location of the 'Black Stone' mutant tribe. The number of mutants is about 2,000, the same as in the intelligence.
Survivors were found in the tribe…we couldn’t get closer, not sure if there were people in it, I hope not.
After a gust of white noise from the current.
A response sound came from the other end of the communication channel.
Received...We have a half hour to arrive, if it is convenient, please help us lead them to a slightly wider area.
Yun Song turned his gaze to the two abandoned buildings that were leaning against each other not far away, the ground-digging worm was passing through there.
That's a good location.
Both as a shelling down point.
It is also used as the tomb to bury those beasts.
Received and handed over to us.
After the communication was over, he waved to the soldiers behind him.
Prepare for work.
……
At the same time, on the edge of the desert dozens of kilometers away, a huge steel airship was slowly pushing away the edge of the rolling yellow sand and advancing towards the endless ruins.
If you first entered Luoxia to save time, Chu Guang was shocked by the endless yellow sand and the rolling clouds.
Then the shock in his heart at this moment can be said to be no less than that at that time.
Even more than that!
Unbelievable... Was this a city before?Standing inside the bridge, Chu Guang looked down at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his face full of surprise.
The 100-meter-wide highway extends straight forward, integrating with the tall buildings on the horizon. Even if you stand on an airship at a height of 1, you can't see the end at first glance.
The earth is divided into countless grids by interlaced roads and track wreckage, half of which are densely packed buildings and half are endless deserts.
Maybe it will take hundreds or even thousands of years before this land will completely become the shape of a Luoxia Province...
Standing next to Chu Guang, Wu Changnian narrowed his eyes slightly, his face not only shocked, but also a hint of melancholy.
...I heard that in the prosperity era, two centuries ago, the Great Desert was not called the Great Desert, but the four industrial zones of the People's Union.
Chu Guang glanced at him and asked in confusion.
Four industrial zones?
Yes.
Wu Changnian nodded, looking out the window, as if he was in a memory of a certain image material. After pausing for a moment, he slowly spoke and continued.
…The Western Industrial Zone is the beginning of all industrial chains, responsible for producing the most basic raw materials and rough processing of raw materials delivered by logistics networks and space elevators, such as synthetic chemicals, catalysts, alloys, etc.
The Northern Industrial Zone is a logistics warehousing center, responsible for storing logistics surplus, distribution of finished products, and transfer of intermediate products and waste materials.There is the most dense transportation network in the prosperous era, whether it is trackless transportation or rail transit... In theory, as long as you choose the right transportation tool, you can go directly from any corner of the planet, and there are also the most dense office buildings there.
The Eastern Industrial Zone is the end of the industrial chain, and the huge, efficient and intensive industrial chain is responsible for processing or assembling raw materials and intermediate products into the final product.
As for the southern industrial zone, it is mainly an energy hub.It is like a large charging plug, which serves to receive energy from power generation facilities in outer space.
Adding to the space elevator, a complete industrial chain closed loop is formed around the four industrial areas around the space elevator.
Chu Guang said in surprise.
Build an industrial center in the middle of the mainland?
To him who came from another world, this sounded a bit unconventional.
After all, in his hometown, most industrial areas are concentrated in the east, especially in the coastal areas, with fewer inland industrial centers in the west and relatively sparsely distributed.
However, here seems to be a completely different story.
Wu Changnian nodded and continued.
Yes, there are stable climatic conditions here, far from the junction of the mainland plate, there is no active earthquake or volcanic activity, and unlike sea or coastal, where typhoons are blowing from time to time... There is no place that is more suitable for building a space elevator base than here.
As he spoke, his tone couldn't help but feel a little emotion.
At first it was just an elevator, but later the dense transportation network began to extend to the low-Earth track and gradually turned into a tower, a mountain, or even a larger mountain.Endless abundant resources flow from space to the surface, and their abundance is amazing... The prosperity of that era is hard to imagine in this era, and even the ideal city is just the tip of its iceberg.
Wu Changnian also heard that in the initial plan, the People's Union planned to radiate the urban agglomeration to every corner of the Central continent with space elevators as the center.
The energy and alloys obtained from space mining will be used to build the entire planet into a world city.
That blueprint is a collection of dreams for all people in the entire prosperity era. Personal ideals, ambitions and imagination will extend infinitely on this infinitely prosperous planet and spread to the farther Milky Way with it as its starting point.
Unfortunately, a war that lasted only three years made all dreams vain.
Just as Wu Changnian was remembering the past, Chu Guang, who was standing next to him, had not yet come to his senses from the huge blueprint.
Although things that can be seen with the naked eye are not bragging, he still can't figure out how this huge industrial center was placed in the center of the mainland.
...Where is industrial water?Where does the water come from?
Wu Changnian was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly his focus was here, and then he said with a smile.
Isn’t there an underground current pipeline?What do you think the Rift Valley did before?
Chu Guang suddenly came to his senses.
He seemed to have vaguely heard before that the existence of the Great Rift Valley was to store the surplus energy generated by the controllable fusion power station, and the specific way to achieve it is to electrolyze seawater.
As for the surplus chlorine, sodium, and metal elements precipitated in various seawater, they will be packaged and sent to the industrial area for processing.
It turns out that the underground current pipeline was not just built for the Great Rift Valley, but also the purpose of transporting industrial water to the center of the mainland!
The power of that era was even more terrifying than he had imagined...
Chu Guang was shocked and couldn't help but feel numb.
Especially when I thought of the pussy I pretended to be, the cakes I drew for Yin Fang, Heya, Vanus and other survivors...
How can I return to the greatness of the prosperity era?
Mobilizing seven billion players is not enough!
What's more, the obvious form of the situation cannot accommodate so many people... Otherwise, there is no reason that the first-generation manager will set many rules and send him activation codes in a planned manner.
Not knowing what Chu Guang was thinking at this moment, Wu Changnian continued to say with a smile.
Of course, solid hydrogen underground in the Great Rift Valley is a strategic reserve and will not be used in normal times. The main supply of industrial water is the southern industrial zone.It is not just an energy hub, but it is also responsible for seawater desalination and sewage recycling... I don’t know much about it, I just read it out of the database.To gain insight into how the entire system works, you have to ask an expert in this field.
In short, the four major industrial zones account for more than 60% of the GDP of the United Nations People's Government, and the highest peak is said to have reached more than 70%.
So remember, no one knows what will happen in the 0th shelter. We'd better be careful and arrange the candidates carefully.
Listening to the cautious tone, Chu Guang nodded seriously.
I will arrange for a shelter resident with outstanding perception.
Wu Changnian nodded in praise.
So best.
He has heard of the awakened people in the Shelter No. 404.
Although he believes in AI and machines more than the unstable biological factors of awakening, in previous wars, the alliance has proved that humans are not inferior to machines in specific situations, and can even create miracles that machines cannot achieve. It is not a bad thing to bring two more reliable masters.
This is also the reason why he was able to convince the enterprises and the legion to help the alliance with no experience in the excavation of relics to win two places.
There is only one access card.
According to the employee named Luo Hua, the elevator they found that could lead to Shelter No. 0 was not very large, and the number of people who could go down at one time was limited...
At this moment, the bridge door was pushed open.
Vanus walked in from outside, saluted and said cleanly.
News came from the 26th Commando of the Enterprise that they had confirmed the coordinates of the 'Black Stone' mutant tribe, but were not sure whether there were corporate employees in the slaves imprisoned by the mutant.
If you can't determine whether it exists, then you will exist by default. Turning around and looking at Vanus, Chu Guang said seriously, Are there any new combat plans?
Vanus nodded.
The combat plan is a frontal offense, and we have informed the 26th Commando that fire support will arrive in half an hour, and they intend to launch an attack in half an hour and lure enemy units to their recommended shelling coordinates.
Very well, just follow this plan. Chu Guang nodded, paused for a moment, and continued to order the airship's gun positions to prepare fire, and at the same time, the Burning Corps is on standby at the lower deck to prepare for our allies.
yes!After giving a clean and neat salute, Vanus turned around and walked out of the bridge.
Retracting his gaze from his back, Wu Changnian looked at Chu Guang with gratitude.
Thank you for your attention to our employees.
Chu Guang said with a faint smile.
You're welcome, the crew of the Trail Blazers is not just our friends, but also kind to us.
Without that epoch-making machine tool, the industrialization of the future would not have been so smooth. Even if the small players have big ideas, they have to have something to turn their creativity into reality.
Although it was a deal that each person needed, he knew very well that the other party actually took good care of them, otherwise he would not have acquiesced to them to get so much wool.
When he parted with Captain Lu Yang, he said that he would record this favor, and now is the time to repay this favor.
...But then again, was that person just now a Willant?Wu Changnian suddenly raised his mouth as if he thought of something.
Well, yes.
Seeing that Chu Guang's reaction was so dull, Wu Changnian couldn't help asking.
Is it really okay?
He had just reminded the young leader to be careful of every Willant.
Looking at the slightly worried gaze, Chu Guang said indifferently.
He stayed voluntarily.
Long before heading to Luoxia Province, Chu Guang talked about this issue with Vanus. If he felt embarrassed to fight with the legion, he could stay in Qingquan City and would not force a person to participate in the war he did not want to participate in.
Objectively speaking, Vanus trained officers for the alliance and contributed to the alliance's command system in the early stages of his business, were enough to repay his debts.
After the war, he could return to his hometown like other prisoners, as exchanged prisoners of war, and no one would know that he had ever served for the Alliance.
However, after hearing his proposal, Vanus not only decisively rejected the only chance to go home, but also stood openly in front of two prisoners who were destined to be exchanged back to show his loyalty to the alliance.
The reason he gave made Chu Guang remain silent for a long time after hearing this.
...I spent a year thinking about the meaning of this war, but we seemed to get nothing except hatred and death.My troops were meaninglessly wiped out in the south, and my commanders and his subordinates were wiped out in the north. I had no regrets at the moment of failure, but felt a little relieved.
I don't think His Majesty is wrong, nor do I think General Kras is stupid, maybe if we continue along their path, we can really lead to a bright future, but we don't understand it now.
As General Kras often said, we are extremely vicious criminals, and we will all be nailed to the pillar of shame in history by future generations to reflect on it, but they will thank us for leaving them a vast world.In that world, there are only the Willant people. The Willant people will not hate the Willant people. The tragedy that happened before... will not happen again, whether it is two hundred years ago or the more distant past.
But here I see another possibility that we have never imagined, maybe there is a unity beyond blood in this world... As you said, we are all survivors, whether they are residents of refuges or wastelanders outside.What should be eliminated is not one of us, but the barbarity that ravages the wasteland.
War is a job for me and unfortunately it is the only thing I can do.But if it can become a little meaningful for you, please let me follow you and continue moving forward.
At the same time, the flashing signal lights on the lower floor of the deck have already transmitted the commands of the battle to the position.
A player who was eager to try had already worn the exoskeleton, took the most elite equipment, and brought plenty of ammunition.
This time I went to pick up my old friend home.
And it is an open military operation under the joint attention of the army, enterprises and colleges.
Everyone was ready to show off in front of the old people and show the new governor of the Willant, whether they lost or not.
Brothers!This time the opponent is a mutant!At the beginning of 76th Street, my friend on the East Coast caught us, and this time we went to catch them.
Walked to the good brothers.
Old Bai, wearing Dragoon power armor, looked around at the powerful brothers and said loudly in a loud voice.
There is only one purpose for action
No one left!
The deafening cry came from the doorway leading to the deck, and even the alloy floor shook violently under the burning fighting spirit.
Oh oh oh!
Kill all those beasts!
Although named after the desert, it is actually not as desolate as most wastelanders imagine.
The concrete buildings that collapsed or were flooded by yellow sand, as well as the rusty warehouses and factories, all show the prosperity here in the past.
Even though the rolling yellow sand has blown for two centuries, it has not completely submerged the artificial miracle spanning thousands of kilometers.

The Northern Industrial Zone is a logistics warehousing center, responsible for storing logistics surplus, distribution of finished products, and transfer of intermediate products and waste materials.There is the most dense transportation network in the prosperous era, whether it is trackless transportation or rail transit... In theory, as long as you choose the right transportation tool, you can go directly from any corner of the planet, and there are also the most dense office buildings there.
The Eastern Industrial Zone is the end of the industrial chain, and the huge, efficient and intensive industrial chain is responsible for processing or assembling raw materials and intermediate products into the final product.
As for the southern industrial zone, it is mainly an energy hub.It is like a large charging plug, which serves to receive energy from power generation facilities in outer space.
Adding to the space elevator, a complete industrial chain closed loop is formed around the four industrial areas around the space elevator.
Chu Guang said in surprise.
Build an industrial center in the middle of the mainland?
To him who came from another world, this sounded a bit unconventional.
After all, in his hometown, most industrial areas are concentrated in the east, especially in the coastal areas, with fewer inland industrial centers in the west and relatively sparsely distributed.
However, here seems to be a completely different story.
Wu Changnian nodded and continued.
Yes, there are stable climatic conditions here, far from the junction of the mainland plate, there is no active earthquake or volcanic activity, and unlike sea or coastal, where typhoons are blowing from time to time... There is no place that is more suitable for building a space elevator base than here.
As he spoke, his tone couldn't help but feel a little emotion.
At first it was just an elevator, but later the dense transportation network began to extend to the low-Earth track and gradually turned into a tower, a mountain, or even a larger mountain.Endless abundant resources flow from space to the surface, and their abundance is amazing... The prosperity of that era is hard to imagine in this era, and even the ideal city is just the tip of its iceberg.
Wu Changnian also heard that in the initial plan, the People's Union planned to radiate the urban agglomeration to every corner of the Central continent with space elevators as the center.
The energy and alloys obtained from space mining will be used to build the entire planet into a world city.
That blueprint is a collection of dreams for all people in the entire prosperity era. Personal ideals, ambitions and imagination will extend infinitely on this infinitely prosperous planet and spread to the farther Milky Way with it as its starting point.
Unfortunately, a war that lasted only three years made all dreams vain.
Just as Wu Changnian was remembering the past, Chu Guang, who was standing next to him, had not yet come to his senses from the huge blueprint.
Although things that can be seen with the naked eye are not bragging, he still can't figure out how this huge industrial center was placed in the center of the mainland.
...Where is industrial water?Where does the water come from?
Wu Changnian was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly his focus was here, and then he said with a smile.
Isn’t there an underground current pipeline?What do you think the Rift Valley did before?
Chu Guang suddenly came to his senses.
He seemed to have vaguely heard before that the existence of the Great Rift Valley was to store the surplus energy generated by the controllable fusion power station, and the specific way to achieve it is to electrolyze seawater.
As for the surplus chlorine, sodium, and metal elements precipitated in various seawater, they will be packaged and sent to the industrial area for processing.
It turns out that the underground current pipeline was not just built for the Great Rift Valley, but also the purpose of transporting industrial water to the center of the mainland!
The power of that era was even more terrifying than he had imagined...
Chu Guang was shocked and couldn't help but feel numb.
Especially when I thought of the pussy I pretended to be, the cakes I drew for Yin Fang, Heya, Vanus and other survivors...
How can I return to the greatness of the prosperity era?
Mobilizing seven billion players is not enough!
What's more, the obvious form of the situation cannot accommodate so many people... Otherwise, there is no reason that the first-generation manager will set many rules and send him activation codes in a planned manner.
Not knowing what Chu Guang was thinking at this moment, Wu Changnian continued to say with a smile.
Of course, solid hydrogen underground in the Great Rift Valley is a strategic reserve and will not be used in normal times. The main supply of industrial water is the southern industrial zone.It is not just an energy hub, but it is also responsible for seawater desalination and sewage recycling... I don’t know much about it, I just read it out of the database.To gain insight into how the entire system works, you have to ask an expert in this field.
In short, the four major industrial zones account for more than 60% of the GDP of the United Nations People's Government, and the highest peak is said to have reached more than 70%.
So remember, no one knows what will happen in the 0th shelter. We'd better be careful and arrange the candidates carefully.
Listening to the cautious tone, Chu Guang nodded seriously.
I will arrange for a shelter resident with outstanding perception.
Wu Changnian nodded in praise.
So best.
He has heard of the awakened people in the Shelter No. 404.
Although he believes in AI and machines more than the unstable biological factors of awakening, in previous wars, the alliance has proved that humans are not inferior to machines in specific situations, and can even create miracles that machines cannot achieve. It is not a bad thing to bring two more reliable masters.
This is also the reason why he was able to convince the enterprises and the legion to help the alliance with no experience in the excavation of relics to win two places.
There is only one access card.
According to the employee named Luo Hua, the elevator they found that could lead to Shelter No. 0 was not very large, and the number of people who could go down at one time was limited...
At this moment, the bridge door was pushed open.
Vanus walked in from outside, saluted and said cleanly.
News came from the 26th Commando of the Enterprise that they had confirmed the coordinates of the 'Black Stone' mutant tribe, but were not sure whether there were corporate employees in the slaves imprisoned by the mutant.
If you can't determine whether it exists, then you will exist by default. Turning around and looking at Vanus, Chu Guang said seriously, Are there any new combat plans?
Vanus nodded.
The combat plan is a frontal offense, and we have informed the 26th Commando that fire support will arrive in half an hour, and they intend to launch an attack in half an hour and lure enemy units to their recommended shelling coordinates.
Very well, just follow this plan. Chu Guang nodded, paused for a moment, and continued to order the airship's gun positions to prepare fire, and at the same time, the Burning Corps is on standby at the lower deck to prepare for our allies.
yes!After giving a clean and neat salute, Vanus turned around and walked out of the bridge.
Retracting his gaze from his back, Wu Changnian looked at Chu Guang with gratitude.
Thank you for your attention to our employees.
Chu Guang said with a faint smile.
You're welcome, the crew of the Trail Blazers is not just our friends, but also kind to us.
Without that epoch-making machine tool, the industrialization of the future would not have been so smooth. Even if the small players have big ideas, they have to have something to turn their creativity into reality.
Although it was a deal that each person needed, he knew very well that the other party actually took good care of them, otherwise he would not have acquiesced to them to get so much wool.
When he parted with Captain Lu Yang, he said that he would record this favor, and now is the time to repay this favor.
...But then again, was that person just now a Willant?Wu Changnian suddenly raised his mouth as if he thought of something.
Well, yes.
Seeing that Chu Guang's reaction was so dull, Wu Changnian couldn't help asking.
Is it really okay?
He had just reminded the young leader to be careful of every Willant.
Looking at the slightly worried gaze, Chu Guang said indifferently.
He stayed voluntarily.
Long before heading to Luoxia Province, Chu Guang talked about this issue with Vanus. If he felt embarrassed to fight with the legion, he could stay in Qingquan City and would not force a person to participate in the war he did not want to participate in.
Objectively speaking, Vanus trained officers for the alliance and contributed to the alliance's command system in the early stages of his business, were enough to repay his debts.
After the war, he could return to his hometown like other prisoners, as exchanged prisoners of war, and no one would know that he had ever served for the Alliance.
However, after hearing his proposal, Vanus not only decisively rejected the only chance to go home, but also stood openly in front of two prisoners who were destined to be exchanged back to show his loyalty to the alliance.
The reason he gave made Chu Guang remain silent for a long time after hearing this.
...I spent a year thinking about the meaning of this war, but we seemed to get nothing except hatred and death.My troops were meaninglessly wiped out in the south, and my commanders and his subordinates were wiped out in the north. I had no regrets at the moment of failure, but felt a little relieved.
I don't think His Majesty is wrong, nor do I think General Kras is stupid, maybe if we continue along their path, we can really lead to a bright future, but we don't understand it now.
As General Kras often said, we are extremely vicious criminals, and we will all be nailed to the pillar of shame in history by future generations to reflect on it, but they will thank us for leaving them a vast world.In that world, there are only the Willant people. The Willant people will not hate the Willant people. The tragedy that happened before... will not happen again, whether it is two hundred years ago or the more distant past.
But here I see another possibility that we have never imagined, maybe there is a unity beyond blood in this world... As you said, we are all survivors, whether they are residents of refuges or wastelanders outside.What should be eliminated is not one of us, but the barbarity that ravages the wasteland.
War is a job for me and unfortunately it is the only thing I can do.But if it can become a little meaningful for you, please let me follow you and continue moving forward.
At the same time, the flashing signal lights on the lower floor of the deck have already transmitted the commands of the battle to the position.
A player who was eager to try had already worn the exoskeleton, took the most elite equipment, and brought plenty of ammunition.
This time I went to pick up my old friend home.
And it is an open military operation under the joint attention of the army, enterprises and colleges.
Everyone was ready to show off in front of the old people and show the new governor of the Willant, whether they lost or not.
Brothers!This time the opponent is a mutant!At the beginning of 76th Street, my friend on the East Coast caught us, and this time we went to catch them.
Walked to the good brothers.
Old Bai, wearing Dragoon power armor, looked around at the powerful brothers and said loudly in a loud voice.
There is only one purpose for action
No one left!
The deafening cry came from the doorway leading to the deck, and even the alloy floor shook violently under the burning fighting spirit.
Oh oh oh!
Kill all those beasts!
