Death is the Beginning

Chapter 265: Zhang Heng's decision (Part 1)

Views:

Zhang Heng felt that he was really not suitable to be a leader. He thinks so from the bottom of his heart...

Since the establishment of the human city, a large amount of materials, guns, and various machines have been excavated from the underground ruins. In addition, Zhang Heng has repeatedly attacked and destroyed the alien races near the human city. Slowly, this The human city there is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of people has gradually accumulated to as many as 50,000 to 60,000.

Most of these 50,000 to 60,000 people are strong young people or young girls, and the weak ones died in the catastrophe of more than a year ago, but there are also hundreds of people who are senior intellectuals who are well protected by their clansmen. In fact, it was these hundreds of people, not the tens of thousands of young girls, that really troubled Zhang Heng and made him feel that he was not suitable to be a leader.

These hundreds of high-level intellectuals did not know what kind of stimulation they had received. When they were rescued and recovered from their injuries, they burst out with enthusiasm that made Zhang Heng feel terrified. They used With the existing machine tools, molds. There are also excavated scrap steel and very little gunpowder, and a large number of imitation firearms and weapons have been produced in this way.

Not to mention, some high-level intellectuals kept suggesting to the parliament, asking to go to the provincial capital which is still a long way away from the human city, and search for more machinery, instruments, and various materials in the provincial capital. Some of them claimed to be able to make bacterial weapons and poison gas weapons, but luckily none of them claimed to be able to make atomic bombs, otherwise Zhang Heng really didn't know what his expression would be.

These high-level intellectuals, contrary to the indecisive and pitiful image in society in the past, seem to have become iron-blooded heroes in movies and novels. Zhang Heng was dragged by members of the parliament several times to inspect and study When discussing the situation in institutions, factories, etc., I overheard some discussions among senior intellectuals...

"... I solved the molecular equation you requested last night. Isn't your group in urgent need?"

"Really solved it? Haha, thank you so much. You are indeed a famous chemist. This is great. With this molecular equation, the biggest difficulty of mustard gas can be solved. Now we only need materials... "

"In this way, the other group should be able to think of a way for the materials. They belong to medical institutions. It is said that chemical materials and various medicines are given priority by the council. I know a few of them. , How about it? If I hadn’t introduced it to you?”

"Really? Haha, that would be great..."

Zhang Heng felt that his expression must have been in the shape of embarrassment at that time. Two men wearing black-rimmed glasses, who looked extremely refined, and accompanied by some sallow and thin men, were discussing in soft voices how to make mustard gas, and From what they said, it seems that these intellectuals have set up groups of their own, all of them are similar talents in their respective fields of expertise, and they all seem to be single-mindedly planning to create weapons of mass destruction...

In fact, these high-level intellectuals are just the most extreme. Either their relatives died at the hands of foreign races, or they were almost killed and eaten by foreign races. Molecules are the type of people who are most likely to go to extremes, and in this way, they have really gone to another extreme in their thinking.

In contrast, the tens of thousands of young people are slightly better off. Firstly, there are nearly ten thousand people who need long-term treatment and recuperation, and secondly, the work of digging nearby towns and villages in the human city is very heavy, so these young people who have become the main body of the human city do not have the energy to counterattack the aliens. But that extreme thinking also began to gradually appear.

Because of the existence of Zhang Heng and Duan Rui, who is becoming stronger day by day, and there are no large tribes or cities of powerful races near Human City, Human City's foreign military operations have won time and time again, and even Many times without the participation of Zhang Heng and Duan Rui, they were flattened by a large number of firearms, so the results of victory after victory made the people of the entire human city gradually have a strange arrogance and arrogance .

look! Those alien races are only so rampant when we humans lose civilization, but once we humans return to civilization, with weapons, cities, and rear areas, those alien races who are like barbarians, there will be us humans opponent? They can be completely wiped out easily, so... launch an all-out attack! Wipe out all the alien races on the earth!

This is the current status of Human City...

Zhang Heng looked distressedly at the few councilors in front of him. These councilors are from the most radical faction. The latest movement of the Human City, to be precise, is a proposal proposed by the most radical faction, which is to hope that the Human City will be Zhang Heng led the team, Duan Rui followed, and then launched an attack on the big city closest to the human city. In addition to destroying all the alien tribes along the way, they also wanted to destroy a city that had already established there. Alien gathering place.

compared to these MPs. And the people below, Zhang Heng naturally knows more things, at least he knows that he is not yet a real demon-level powerhouse.

Although he has gradually and steadily become stronger since this period of time, for some reason, he is still a little short of the rank of a true devil, whether it is the realm, or the epiphany, or the opportunity, in short, he is still far behind. With such a small thing, as long as he crosses this thin line, then he can become a real demon in no time!

But just because he was stuck in the enchantment level, he didn't dare to venture into many places around him. According to the elf princess, not to mention small tribes of foreign races, large tribes, and even those cities. There are one or more holy spirits or high-level holy spirits guarding them. What if they encounter a real demon-level powerhouse during this attack? It doesn't matter if he dies, but without his seat, the tens of thousands of people here are like a piece of fat, and sooner or later they will all be swallowed up by the surrounding aliens.

"I've said it many times, everyone. I know that supplies are tight now, and more foreign slaves are needed as digging labor, and even for the safety of Human City, and other reasons. But everyone, we This is the most important thing!" Zhang Heng looked at the few congressmen in front of him, they basically belonged to the spokespersons of those high-level intellectuals, and they themselves were also one of those high-level intellectuals. You can't beat them, you can't scold them, these people work hard. There is no such thing as corruption at all, the only requirement is to keep attacking all around. It can be said that he is the most important role of the Jagged faction, so he can only push and drag helplessly. .

One of the councilors immediately said: "It is precisely because the Human City is not strong enough that we are going to attack that big city, City Lord. According to our careful research, there must be large heavy weapons in the military area of the big city. As long as we can If we get through there, we can immediately organize a hot weapon army of about 5,000 people. What a force it is! By then, we will be able to become stronger and stronger, and then the mountains and jungles around the city will be Human beings are gathered together, our strength will only snowball and grow bigger and bigger!"

The rest of the councilors were also nagging non-stop, but when Zhang Heng was only about to veto their proposal again, his heart suddenly moved, and a strange idea was born, but he thought that his strength had stagnated. In fact, he has long wanted to fight those big cities, so many people are still suffering, and every second of the night may kill more than ten human beings, but he has no power to match the power of the real devil. Has been stagnant, but to reach the strength of the true devil level... just standing still and slowly accumulating strength is not the way? Maybe it really needs to be constantly strong in battle.

"... Then, even if it is an attack, it is impossible to put all the power into it." Zhang Hengdang even changed his words.

The congressman hadn't recovered yet, and was still saying, "...it's because we don't have enough strength, so we need to launch an attack, so... eh? City Lord, have you agreed to launch an attack on that provincial capital?"

Zhang Heng nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, let's discuss the situation of launching the attack first. We can't put all our strength into it at once like you said? What about the defense of the human city? Those alien slaves don't Do we need someone to guard it? This is our foundation, it is impossible to leave it behind and go to the provincial capital?"

These members of parliament were overjoyed immediately, and immediately began to talk in a hurry, but their method sounded a bit unbelievable. For example, to arm those alien races and let them be cannon fodder and other stupid suggestions, so Zhang Heng directly interrupted their words: "How to march and how to arrange these are left to professionals. Your task now is to prepare Good logistics, and a good plan for the work arrangement of the human city after the army leaves, that's it... "

Just like that, Zhang Heng coaxed and drove these congressmen away. It wasn't until this moment that he finally felt that everything around him was completely quiet. However, when he thought about the attack plan that he agreed to, he immediately had a headache for a while. What kind of soldiers? Ah, what logistics, what weapons, what defenses, what marching routes...

God! Zhang Heng feels that he is really not suitable to be a leader, he really thinks so...

In any case, under the impetus of a large group of warmongers and angry youths... probably angry, angry old people, the plan to attack the provincial capital was quickly approved by the parliament. The army consisting of more than 3,000 people and more than 120 vehicles of various types was quickly formed. It took five days before and after. When Zhang Heng came back to his senses, he and Duan Rui Sitting on the seat of a command car, accompanied by several former PLA officers, he has already followed the team to the provincial capital.

"... I said, your speed is really fast. I thought it would take at least half a month, but I didn't expect that in just five days, a war is already prepared, and there are more than 3,000 people. The army, even vehicles and fuel are no longer stingy, you really want to fight this battle." Zhang Heng looked at the vehicles driving side by side outside the car window, and said to several officers around him.

These officers are all surviving school-level officers from various armies, and they are also some of the leaders of the human city's military system. In fact, Zhang Heng suspects that the violent actions of those senior intellectuals are likely to be related to these military systems. The officers had colluded, otherwise it would be impossible for the entire army to be formed so efficiently and at such a fast pace after he agreed to send troops, that anyone could see the conspiracy.

Hearing Zhang Heng's words, the officers all laughed, and one of the middle-aged men laughed and said, "City Lord, in fact, we don't hide it from you. It started to be implemented, the collection of fuel, the collection of vehicles, and the collection of weapons all started at that time, in fact... this is a battle that everyone in Human City wants to fight."

Zhang Heng was silent for a while and didn't speak. In fact, deep down in his heart, he already agreed with the officer's statement. This battle was something the entire human city had been looking forward to for a long time. It was nothing but to get rid of the fear in his heart. .

Yes, the people in the human city actually have more of a kind of fear deep in their hearts, fear of losing this beautiful life again, fear of being captured and enslaved by alien races again, fear of future human beings All in all, in such a world, human beings no longer have a sense of security! No one knows what will happen in the future!

So, this battle is not so much about snatching a large amount of resources from the ruins of the provincial capital, or about rescuing the tribesmen of all the alien tribes along the way, or about limited expansion for the safety of the human city. It's all false. The real reason is that more than 99% of the people in the Human City don't have the so-called sense of security. They hope to take advantage of a big battle, preferably with tens of thousands of alien troops that can rival the Human City army. , Completely annihilate and defeat them, so as to ensure their sense of security... Human firearms and thermal weapons are powerful enough to match the security of alien races!

"Is it a sense of security?" Zhang Heng was still looking out the window. After more than ten seconds, Zhang Heng took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms and handed one to everyone in the car before asking.

Those officers were not polite after receiving the cigarettes, they lit them up and smoked them. After Zhang Heng spoke, the lieutenant colonel officer just nodded and said, "Yes, a sense of security! You are the Holy Spirit, you are the soul man, the city lord. , you must also know that those aliens have more than one soul. It can even be said that the safety of the human city is only based on you alone, the city lord, and even the deputy city lord Duan Rui...he can't match a foreign soul .”

Duan Rui was sitting beside him with a cigarette in his mouth. He blushed immediately after hearing the words, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he could only sigh, while Zhang Heng was silent. Nodded: "You continue."

The officer took a sip of his cigarette, and then continued: "Although you have been mentioning your partners, the city lord, and their strength is unimaginable, but so far, we have searched the nearby mountains, jungles, Plains, ruins, except for the large-scale provincial capital that has not been searched, but we have searched all the places that can be searched, but no one has been found... Let me say something that is not very nice, once you happen to be the city lord What an accident, the entire human city collapsed in an instant, this is one, and the second is that those alien races have not mobilized a large number of troops to attack the human city for some reason, but once they send troops, even if there are only one or two true demons A super soul user, the ending of Human City will also be... "

Zhang Heng sighed, and then he said: "I know what you mean, maybe it's not just a few of you who think this way? It is estimated that there must be a lot of people in the human city who think so, no wonder those who recently called for war There are more and more people, but it turns out that the feeling of insecurity has reached a critical point.”

The other officers all nodded with wry smiles, and the officer just now continued to say: "Because of this, this battle in the provincial capital is even more necessary. In addition to a large number of resources and weapons, we also urgently need a large number of weapons. Only one thing will do... ”

"Things? What is as important as weapons? No, more important?" Zhang Heng immediately asked curiously after hearing the words.

"Communication equipment!" The officer glanced left and right before he whispered.

"Communication equipment?" Zhang Heng and Duan Rui looked at each other strangely, and he immediately asked, "What do you mean? Could it be that there is some connection with the outside world?"

An officer next to him suddenly started chatting: "It's not considered a contact. To be precise, the communication equipment currently used in Human City is temporarily assembled, and the ability to accept various band signals from the outside world is very weak, and The release of communications to the outside world is also restricted by the mountainous region here. However, we received some vague signals half a month ago. These signals cannot be confirmed at all, and we cannot even respond. The expert group has only one suggestion …”

"Find more accurate communication equipment as soon as possible, preferably a military type, and in the southwest region, the only place where this type of communication equipment can be found is only in the big provincial capitals and big cities."

Zhang Heng immediately became excited when he heard the words. In fact, during this period of time, his personal pressure was really too great. It doesn't matter if he dies alone, tens of thousands of people will die with him. It would be hell if he could calm down, so when he heard the signal from the outside world at this moment, he felt Immediately, I thought of Pei Jiao, those partners, only they could lead mankind to break through the siege of alien races, and return to civilization. If this is the case...then this time the battle of the provincial capital is really indispensable .

"...Signal? Done! Mom, this time I have to take down this provincial capital with all my might!"

Zhang Heng said this, and when he said these words, a brilliance flashed in his eyes, and when the brilliance disappeared, a simple leather-wrapped drum appeared in his hand.

This is his greatest reliance in the face of true demon-level powerhouses, and it is also his greatest combat power at present...

Real name weapon! Kui Niu Drum!
