Chapter 1020: Seize the Supplies (1)

The second relocation with the Burmese took us another whole day, and the journey was not entirely smooth. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā

We were intercepted by sporadic wanderers who should have made up their minds to retaliate against the Burmese attacks, and although they were small in number, they were all coming for the hands of the dead, and we even encountered some shelling.

During this period, Burmese were also injured, and some died because of their injuries.

I once proposed to use psionic methods to continue their lives, but was resolutely rejected by the Burmese, and Gochai said that this method of using spirits to bring the dead back to life is not advisable, because what I have awakened is not the person's body at all, but the Gu worm virus hidden in his body, and I am equivalent to letting the Gu worm virus control the dead corpse to act, this method is quite inhumane.

Of course, I understand this, but I just want to further improve my status in the hearts of the Burmese people.

In addition, their village chief, Deqin Bo, once again threatened me with the blood Gu in my stomach, and his meaning was very simple, I wanted to do my best to avoid their casualties, and if one of my decisions caused a large number of Burmese deaths in the future, he would definitely not let me go.

I didn't have much of a problem with Deqin Bo before, but I was not very happy when he said that.

There is a saying that there is victory only with sacrifice, and the enemies we face are several times stronger than us, and if we want to achieve good results, sometimes sacrifice is inevitable.

It's not that they will die Burmese, but if it comes to some critical decision-making, it would be a bit more than worth the loss if I was afraid of the Burmese casualties and missed the opportunity.

Therefore, I feel that if Deqin Pau is left in power, sooner or later a fierce conflict will break out between him and me, and this conflict will greatly weaken our alliance with the Burmese people.

In this way, I am afraid that I will have to find an opportunity to oust Deqin Bo from power, and even if the conditions allow and necessary, I will kill the killer.

In addition, judging from the sporadic attacks of the wanderers we encountered, it is likely that the previous waves of survivors who did not make it to our new camp on time were also subjected to similar raids, and it is only natural that they will be killed because they do not have the combat qualities we have.

Eventually, we were able to complete a victory in the new sewer camp in Dongkou Province.

I will now roughly summarize the combat power around me.

I and the original team on our island are naturally the main force of the main force, for no other reason, because of our unique physique, the other people on the island have also undergone huge improvements in their physique under my influence, which is simply incomparable to other people.

Then there are the bounty hunters led by Lu Ming and the former members of the Salvation Army led by White Night.

The number of bounty hunters is now roughly around one hundred and fifty, while the former members of the Salvation Army are about a hundred.

These two groups of people are not very numerous, but they are the two ace troops in my hands, and they are much more valuable than the ordinary survivors and the old and sick among the Burmese.

In other words, if I had to sacrifice some people as a last resort, I would certainly not hesitate to pick from the latter two groups.

With the addition of two batches of survivors, plus the attrition of the halfway, we now have more than 800 people in total.

And the cohesion of these survivors is actually very loose, they are now completely coerced by fear to follow me, and the "team leader" of the survivors I asked to select before is responsible for managing all the survivors, and has to report the daily staffing situation to Chen Mengyu and Xia Ran.

Compared with the survivors, the Burmese people are much more cohesive, which means that it will be easier to manage, the only fly in the ointment is that they still only listen to Yu Deqin Bo and Gochai and others, and they are not interested in my fingers, not to mention that most of them do not know Chinese, and I can't communicate directly with them.

The number of these Burmese is about 1,700, and almost half of them are young and middle-aged male and female Gu masters.

Finally, there were the wanderers, there were only three of them, Zhao Tian, Mr. Qin, and Liu Yong, but they knew the situation inside the wanderers extremely well.

It's interesting to think about it, the Blue Jays, the Salvation Army, and the Wanderers who had clashed with me before all joined us in batches.

Even these Burmese are no exception, after all, we have fought before, although the enemies we fought before may not be from the same place as these Burmese, but they are still from the same roots.

I wonder if if this trend continues, there will be people from voodoo and Taoyuan Island who will defect to my side?

So far, I have finally gathered troops around me that can launch a large-scale battle, but this is only from the superficial number of personnel, most of the people do not trust us enough now, so if there is a large-scale conflict now, these people will not only not listen to me, but will fall apart in an instant.

In this regard, Zhao Tian said that if we want to convince the people, the easiest and most direct way is to give them visible benefits, and at this stage, the easiest thing for us to achieve is to capture more loiterer strongholds, grab more supplies, and build our new underground water system camp more solidly.

This proposal is still very necessary, not to mention that it is impossible for me to directly start the operation of returning to Taoyuan Island now, and if I want to launch an active attack, I must first stabilize my own base.

On the second day of the meeting, we began a second thorough survey of the entire underground sewer system, and this time we widened the original search area and more than doubled the habitable underground area.

However, there are so many new additions that even if we develop all these new areas, we won't be able to provide normal habitation for everyone, so Gochai told me that he can let those little black things dig up quickly, and as long as they don't interfere with them, they can further expand the area of the underground level in a day.

In addition to the expansion of the area, we also need to use these little black things to dig the vents, after all, all the people are stuffed in the underground waterways, and if they don't do a good job of ventilation, they will eventually suffocate to death.

In this regard, Ge Guess also agreed, telling me to rest assured, but I still specially sent He Yunsong to follow up on the work of these Burmese, on the one hand, to ensure that there are no omissions, and on the other hand, I also want He Yunsong to take the opportunity to observe how those Burmese people manipulate the little black things to dig accurately, which is probably also helpful for me to use spiritual energy to control the actions of Gu objects.

While the Burmese were digging, I started asking the survivors to find areas in the nearby terrain that could be used for farming and keeping livestock, not so much that we have to start doing the agricultural work now, but to prepare them for the future, because it's too risky to do these things now, and the seeds will be destroyed as soon as they are planted.

Powerful bounty hunters and former members of the Salvation Army are tasked with conducting a thorough investigation of the surrounding ground security, primarily to find and eliminate the teams of wanderers who patrol the surrounding area before our whereabouts are discovered.

However, so far, our situation is quite safe, because the place we chose is very far away from the main activity area of the wanderers, and the wanderers have been beaten by the Burmese for fear of dozens of kilometers recently, so as long as we keep the main activities underground, we don't have to worry too much about being detected.

In the end, the most critical action naturally fell to a few of our top soldiers.

Before, Zhao Tian said that he suggested that I take the initiative to snatch the supplies of the next part of the wanderers to stabilize the morale of the army, and after thinking about it, I thought that this method was still quite feasible, so I decided to go to the neighborhood to find such a camp first.

Even Zhao Tian and Mr. Qin didn't know much about the terrain around this area, because it was too remote, and only a very small number of wanderers on special missions would haunt the area.

And to find such a stocked camp of wanderers, it is certainly not enough to search for a needle in a haystack, we must have a guide who is familiar enough with the surrounding situation.

And this man ......

It has to be Liu Yong.

I asked Liu Yong in advance if he knew about the loiterer camp nearby, and Liu Yong stumbled, and I knew that this kid must know.

I immediately told Liu Yong about our current situation, and focused on telling Liu Yong that he and we are now completely on the same rope, and if our situation is not good, then he will be the first to suffer.

Liu Yong finally reluctantly agreed to take us to find it, but there was one condition, that is, after he returned, he must be given a certain amount of personal freedom, at least not let him be in the house all the time.

Of course I wouldn't give him freedom, but I did promise him an hour a day to go out and have to be strictly guarded.

"So I'm your prisoner now?" Liu Yong asked sharply.

"Of course. I didn't bother to beat around the bush with him, so I said, "You know better than anyone else what kind of virtue you are, and even if I let the whole world go, I can't let you go, so you'd better dismiss that now." If you are willing to cooperate with us, then in the future, when the cataclysmic crisis is resolved, the Gu worm virus on our bodies is eliminated, and everyone returns to normal, then you can go wherever you want, I will never care about you again, but before that, you must obey my orders. ”

"You can. Liu Yong said to me viciously: "Don't think that you are safe to hide in this place now, sooner or later the wanderers will find here!"

"Huh. I laughed, "So you'd better pray that we don't get attacked and wiped out, otherwise it's still the same sentence, even if we're done playing, we'll pull you on our backs!"

I am now very resolute in my attitude towards Liu Yong, that is, to carry out the tough measures to the end, because from the countless things on the island, it can be seen that this guy is a hard thing that does not eat soft, you give him a good face, and he still thinks you are a bully.

Liu Yong was finally brought out by me with my hands in his hands under my coercion, and Lu Ming personally guarded it with a team of bounty hunters, plus Zhao Tian and I went out to find the nearby loiterer camp.

This "vicinity" is actually relative, because according to Liu Yong's estimate, the nearest loiter's stronghold to us should be near a large river about twenty kilometers from here.

This river is called the Chaifu River, which is one of the main rivers in Dongkou Province, and there are a large number of villages and towns on both sides, and many reservoirs are built on this river.

However, after the catastrophic change, the river burst its banks many times, causing the main stream to change its path a lot, and now its tributaries are almost all over Dongkou Province.

And the few camps we were looking for were all located near the Chafu River.

In addition, Liu Yong also specially reminded us that these strongholds were built underground.

Well......

The remote area is built underground, so it makes me easily think that the real purpose of these strongholds is actually to study Gu or Gu worm viruses, otherwise why don't they do it in a place where their own people are concentrated, after all, in that case, the support of friendly forces after the accident can be faster.

Our group was in three small civilian vehicles that we had found from a few villages near the sewer system, because we didn't want to use them, because they were the most luxurious vehicles we had in our hands, and I wouldn't risk them for a mission with unknown prospects like this.

I drove myself to lead the way, while the task of guiding the way was given to Liu Yong, who was sitting beside me, and behind my car sat Lu Ming and another bounty hunter.

The three cars departed early in the morning, and before noon I saw the Chafu River in front of me.

In fact, the weather conditions after the catastrophe have been getting colder and colder, so the temperature in Dongkou Province is now lower than in the past, and the surface of the entire Chai Fu River has long been frosted.

Mr. Liu said he had only been there a few times before, so he was not sure where he was, and he told me that if he followed the river, he would eventually find the location of the hidden strongholds.

Sure enough, I walked for about 20 minutes according to Liu Yong's instructions, and Liu Yong suddenly pointed to a dead wood forest in front of me and said, "There are you! Do you see those withered trees? This is because they are carrying out Gu worm virus activities underground! I remember very well at the time, and there are still many survivors who should not be brought here!"

We quickly hid the car into a hidden place, after all, I don't know if anyone is guarding this stronghold, and I don't want to expose our tracks too soon.
