(The previous chapter mistyped the chapter name, living or dying together, this is the next chapter)

......

......

"Where is it?" asked Xu Le.

"Biki Plateau. ”

Dongfang Yu said a somewhat unfamiliar place name, and Xiong Linquan, who was carrying the stretcher in front of him, frowned, and asked, "Isn't that the radiation area we mentioned?"

"It's right next to Akihabara, and it's not very large, just over 2,000 square kilometers. If you want to pass through Akihabara under a military satellite, you might as well walk from Biki Highlands. As long as there are no problems on the road and a smooth breakthrough into that area, then the federal ground forces will no longer pose any trouble. ”

"Because of the radiation, no federal ground force has ever dared to enter the Biki Plateau, naturally it is not a trouble. Xiong Linquan said angrily: "But we are not a bunch of monsters wearing lead plate cloaks, and the radiation itself is the biggest trouble. ”

Dongfang Yu struggled to get out of position on the stretcher, looked at the fragments of the shadow sky dome cut from the leaves of the dense forest above his head, and said after a moment of silence: "Actually, there have been federal troops in before, to be precise, there have always been federal troops inside. ”

Xu Le frowned at him, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Have you been in?"

"The NTR units of the four strongest divisions all went in two years ago, and believe me, the radiation on the surface of the plateau area does not cause much harm to the human body. ”

Dongfang Yu said indifferently: "You don't need to ask why the federal troops are inside, I dare to let you go to the plateau, the reason is actually very simple, because the federal troops left on the plateau now are all engineers, and they should all be underground." ”

Xu Le and Xiong Linquan glanced at each other, some believed Dongfang Yu's statement, but they couldn't fully believe it, because after this person said this, he closed his mouth tightly, refusing to provide more details, and refusing to talk about the experience when he went in before.

In a mountain col, the team temporarily stopped to discuss the route of advance, Xu Le glanced at Da Vinci, who was still in a coma, and then at Gu Xifeng, who was busy repairing the equipment, and said: "Our destination is now tentatively set on the Golan Heights, which is close to the strait war zone. I can't explain why I chose that high ground for a while, but I believe it should be the best choice. ”

For the past three years, the entire Ink Flower Star has been a battlefield, and now this team has no base and no backup, and it is full of enemies as far as the eye can see, and it is in a desperate situation, and it has no idea where to go. Needless to say, their trust in Xu Le is very firm and even blind, even so firm that no one remembers that he is from the Empire, even if it is a random person who provides advice, he can probably get the approval of everyone.

"The question now is how. ”

"The original plan was to prepare for a direct assault from the foothills of Akihabara, but this road is very dangerous, especially after passing through the lead cloud electronic shielding area, the base may find our position at any time, and we have two seriously injured people, and it is impossible to move too quickly. ”

Xu Le continued: "Dongfang just gave a suggestion, the team directly from the Akihabara on the Biki Plateau, and then take the tundra area directly to the Golan Heights. This route is easier to follow, but as you may have heard, there is anomalous radiation from the Biki Plateau, and neither the federal forces nor the Imperial side dare to enter. ”

Then he repeated Dongfang Yu's reasoning.

The team members were silent, thinking about each other, Gu Xifeng suddenly stopped repairing the equipment at this time, looked up at Xu Le and said: "According to the manual, the empire has been immigrating to the Mohuaxing for thousands of years, and the mining of graphite ore in the Baihibiscus Dynasty has been in full swing since six hundred years ago......"

"If the radiation on the plateau is far less serious than the military propaganda as the East says, then why do the imperial people dare not enter it? Why do they leave the rich graphite ore under the plateau alone?"

Gu Xifeng looked at Dongfang Yu on the stretcher and spread his hands and said, "I don't doubt that your suggestion has any sinister intentions, I just think it doesn't make sense logically. ”

Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Dongfang Yu said in a dumb voice with an expressionless face: "I can't explain, but when it comes to logic, the imperial people have always been creatures without logic, they are very afraid of the Biki Plateau, but in the imperial Chinese, that plateau is called Futian by them, which is also difficult to explain." ”

"It turns out that I am a creature without logic, so it is no wonder that Professor Lin was very disappointed with my theoretical physics and mathematics skills. ”

Xu Le thought to himself silently, raised his head to look at everyone and said: "In this case, let's walk along the edge of the autumn leaf plain, the dry water lineline is on the edge of the lead cloud, relatively safe, if we encounter a large federal force or an extremely dangerous situation, we will urgently retreat to the plateau." ”

......

......

Having decided on their destination and route, the team was extremely tired after a hundred battles, and there was a rare sense of relaxation, especially after the second crossing of Pinecone, where they unexpectedly captured four scattered remnants of the Empire, and they were able to take shifts when carrying stretchers due to their extreme lack of manpower.

However, the word "lighthearted" cannot accompany people on their escape forever, on the contrary, in various adventure novels, escape is always a word of bad luck, so when the team set foot in Akihabara less than four hours later, they encountered a federal reinforcement company at a mountain pass shrouded in light mist.

Not every sudden battle can have a sudden and satisfying result like the previous ones. There were less than ten people left in the team who were capable of fighting, and they had to monitor the four imperial prisoners who were in charge of carrying the stretcher, and suddenly encountered a reinforced company with more than 120 people, and they were suddenly overwhelmed and unable to raise their heads, and they were in danger.

Piercing through the thin mist, looking at the Federation soldiers who were maneuvering towards the cliff over there, Xu Le's expression was very grim, and from time to time, a mournful bullet swept over his head, shooting deep into the hard black cliff, and the bursting fragments hit his back with a bitter pain.

A dull explosion was heard from the west, and once again the explosives and near-perfect geomechanical calculations set by the wind played a key role, and hundreds of tons of rock rolled down the mountain stream there, roaring down the high ground with precision and danger, slamming down on the west side of the mountain road, shaking the entire valley.

The team now controls a cliff with excellent terrain, which is condescending, and with the help of mist, it is not difficult to defend, and it doesn't feel too much of a problem after the rocks block the opponent's route from the west.

However, the battle is not a game of chess, all the team members, including Xu Le, know that with these cliffs and rocks alone, there is no way to stop the offensive of a federal reinforcement company, although the opponent does not have a mecha, but the firepower is too strong, so they must retreat as quickly as possible, but the monkey who is responsible for finding the road has not been able to hear back.

"At least two more minutes"

Xiong Linquan crawled to Xu Le's side and shouted amid the dense gunfire: "We must find a way to pass through the seriously injured." ”

"I can't stand it. ”

Xu Le fired a random shot at the bottom of the cliff, looking at the clear and orderly fan-shaped attack formation of this Federation Reinforcement Company, and said in a deep voice: "There are too few firing points to form a suppressive fire network. ”

I don't know which division the federal company under the cliff belongs to, after knowing their identity, he shot without the slightest hesitation, and even seemed more resolute than fighting the Imperials, bravely making Xiong Linquan and the others extremely annoyed - everyone is a federal, if you can not fight, of course it is the best, even if you are forced to fight by your superiors, do you have to fight so hard?

The muffled snorts of the team members were occasionally heard in the dense gunfire, although there were not many of them, but considering the advantage of the terrain they controlled, as well as the number of team members, it was known that this encounter was very dismal.

Xiong Linquan knew that what Xu Le said was right, if he wanted to form an effective fire suppression network, they had enough guns and ammunition, but not enough people, thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the bodies of those imperial prisoners, and his brows were furrowed extremely tightly.

There is a gap in the cliff wall, like a natural trench, and the two seriously wounded Da Vinci and Dongfang Yu, Xu Lexiong Linquan and Gu Xifeng are here.

Noticing Xiong Linquan's gaze, Xu Le knew what he was hesitating, pursed his lips tightly and did not express his opinion, but Gu Xifeng shouted directly: "Don't hesitate, hurry up and give them the gun, at this time, everyone is going to die, they will not fight back." ”

Dongfang Yu stared at Xiong Linquan's eyes angrily, struggled to sit up, but fell back to the stretcher again, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "You dare you to give the gun to the Imperial people to kill our own comrades, I will kill you"

Gu Xifeng glared at his eyes and roared: "You can see clearly that now it is our comrade-in-arms who wants to kill us at all costs, and I don't want to die like this for him."

Dongfang Yu was still angry and scolding, Xiong Linquan didn't say anything, just silently opened the armory bag, took out the gun and threw it at the four imperial prisoners with nervous and confused expressions, and then handed it to Paul behind Xu Le, and said in a deep voice:

"What you did in the army, do it now. ”

During the whole process, Xiong Linquan didn't ask Xu Le, or even look at him, because he knew that the team could only make this difficult decision by himself.

After Paul took the gun, he did not hesitate to run to the fire control point on the south side, lay his whole body on the cliff soil, and began to shoot calmly downward.

After the other four Imperial captives got their guns, they were stunned for a long time before they could react, and they walked to their respective positions in shock and began to cooperate with the shooting.

This already complex team is now even more indescribable/Gunfire erupts from the cliffs, and the Federation's battle heroes and Imperial captives carry the same guns, mingling like comrades, covering each other and gesturing with all sorts of simple tactical moves.

and even began to worry about the safety of the other party.

They came from different stars, belonged to a race that had been hostile for many years, but now they had come together for the same purpose and began to fight side by side.

The purpose is very simple: not for the glory of the race, the rise or fall of the nation, or hatred, nor for the interests that merchants value most, but just to survive.

Half an hour later, the team that had withdrawn to the edge of the plateau rested on the spot.

In the gray twilight, Xu Le looked at the team with a smaller number of people, looked at the ragged team members, looked at the imperial prisoners with nervous expressions, felt the dull smell that permeated it, and said the following passage twice in federal and imperial Chinese.

"In front is Biki Plateau, which is Futian in Imperial Chinese. There may be dangerous radiation on the plateau, or there may be happy springs, but since everyone has come together, it must have been fate that has made the most suitable arrangement it deems appropriate, then...... Let's live together, or die together. ”
