Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 172: chaos

Views:

The top floor of the building where the "Afford Gun Shop" is located.

Bai Chen put the "Orange" rifle on the edge of the roof, and shot down with a rather awkward posture.

boom!

Among the group of wanderers in the wilderness who tried to hit the barrier at the entrance to the yard, one person fell on his back, blood flowing.

Bai Chen was not greedy for merit, and immediately retracted his body, avoiding the subconscious counterattack of the group.

After a wave of indiscriminate shooting, the group of wilderness wanderers who had lost their leader and lost their command could only retreat in a chaotic manner because the firepower inside the yard was still abundant, heading to different places.

Seeing this scene, Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly checked the condition of her firearms and filled it with bullets.

This is a rifle he borrowed from the owner of "Afu Gun Shop", Aunt Nan's younger brother, which can be used as a sniper rifle.

He and Bai Chen took this to occupy the commanding heights, and cooperated with the neighbors behind the barricade to deal with the scattered influx of wilderness wanderers and a small number of city defense troops who were out of order.

During training, Long Yuehong also mastered sniper skills, but he didn't have the chance to familiarize himself with it at ordinary times. After wasting more than a dozen rounds of bullets, he gradually got on the right track, and two or three rounds could take away an enemy.

Compared with him, Bai Chen is not only sure to hit every shot, but also good at observation, and can always find the leaders of the enemy group and call them by name.

In this way, after a few shots, those disorganized enemies tend to disperse on their own.

"I don't know when it will be a head..." Long Yuehong looked at the bottom of the rooftop and sighed.

Although these defenses have been successful and easy, as long as the chaos in the city continues, no one knows what will be waiting for him in the future.

"Come on." Bai Chen looked back at the direction of North Street, "As long as the upper floors of Weed City are not caught in one pot, when they relax and reorganize the team, these wilderness wanderers will not be opponents."

The simplest fact is that until now, the city defense army has not yet seen a counterattack.

No matter how bad they are, they have been trained for a long time. The regular army who often goes to the wilderness for actual combat cannot be destroyed at a touch. Moreover, in the mansion of the group of nobles on North Street, each family can launch multiple artillery guns at any time, take out a few machine guns, organize Raise a powerful private army.

In addition, Bai Chen also heard that the City Lord's Mansion, with the help of the Hunter Guild, has a close cooperation with "Mechanical Paradise", and maybe there is some secret weapon hidden.

As soon as the words fell, Bai Chen heard a slightly low roar.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of gunfire in the direction of North Street continued one after another, causing the earth to shake gently.

Long Yuehong felt the trembling of the building. For a while, he didn't know whether the city defense army finally made a counterattack, or the wilderness wanderers grabbed enough artillery and began to bombard the barricades.

After this round of shelling, there were gunshots that were as dense as fried beans.

It didn't take long for the noise to come from the direction of North Street to the south, as if a large number of people were rushing towards the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, the loud sound from the loudspeaker resounded through the sky:

"Put down the weapon and squat on the ground.

"As long as you surrender, you can get relief, you can also enter the manor and become a slave."

The announcements echoed over and over again in the city, and the noise and gunshots that were mixed with them slowly subsided.

As long as there is a way to survive, few people will stubbornly resist to the end.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen looked at each other and sighed:

"It's finally over..."

City Lord's Mansion, in the noble council hall.

Shang Jianyao, who was sitting at the bottom of the long table, stroked the small speaker with a blue background and a black face, and said to everyone with satisfaction:

"Everyone is so harmonious and sincere, isn't it good

"If there is any contradiction, just fight a dance, wrench a wrench, and it will take longer than whoever doesn't blink."

Xu Liyan took a breath and agreed:

"Yeah, we are all brothers and sisters, how can there be a threshold that can't be crossed?"

"No, no," retorted the slow-talking Murridge, "you have to call our uncle and uncle."

Xu Liyan was about to respond when a guard came over at the door and happily reported:

"City Lord, the first wave of counter-charges scattered those wild wanderers!

"Because of the promise of relief, many of them gave up their resistance, and order in the city was restored little by little.

"The city defense army who lost contact before has also been found and organized."

Xu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said:

"Sure enough, we still have to do both, and we can't be stingy at this time.

"Benevolence is not necessarily worse than selfishness. Different situations require different tactics."

After this battle, he felt that his authority had been established to a certain extent. However, everyone was already a brother, and it was easy to discuss something, so there was no need to force it.

He issued orders for further improvement one by one, and saw another guard rushing to the door.

"City Lord, the wasteland sentry in the direction of 'First City' reports:

"A regular army from the 'First City' appeared and joined several slave capture teams."

Xu Liyan narrowed his eyes:

"Sure enough..."

Jiang Baimian was not surprised at all.

After confirming the true purpose of the "priest", she suspected that there was a certain force in the "prime city" behind the matter, or, it was directly the will of the "prime city" senate.

They have long wanted to completely swallow the fat meat of Weed City, which has a lot of autonomy.

Xu Liyan immediately looked around, smiled and said:

"If we don't resolve the riots quickly, they will have enough reason to come here and stabilize the situation for the subordinate forces."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Uncle Liu:

"The drone team was dispatched to bomb the wasteland in front of the army for a round, and it was said that they were cleaning up the rioters. Please don't approach them, so as not to be accidentally injured.

"Haha, this large fireworks should make the guests and hosts enjoy themselves."

"Yes, City Lord!" Uncle Liu replied first, and then reminded, "Afterwards, peace is still the most precious thing."

"I understand." Xu Liyan's anger turned to anger, but he didn't lose his mind.

For them, staying in the "prime city" is the best choice, regardless of the resources they can get, the trade they can get involved in, the protection they can get, or the degree of autonomy.

Seeing that the situation had been reversed and all affairs were on the right track, Jiang Baimian gave Shang Jianyao a wink.

Shang Jianyao quickly stood up, put the small speaker back in the tactical backpack, and said:

"We still have something to do, we have to go first."

"When things completely subside, you must come to the dance!" Zhao Zhengqi's eldest son invited reluctantly.

"If you are free." Shang Jianyao responded with bright eyes.

Xu Liyan glanced left and right:

"Don't you still bring three people? It's inconvenient to not have a car.

"Come on, drive my specially modified bulletproof off-road vehicle to the door."

After giving the order, he looked at Shang Jianyao and said sincerely:

"Don't despise it."

"Then I'll be gone." Shang Jianyao responded with a smile.

The army green bulletproof cross-country drove out of the City Lord's Mansion and slowly drove towards the municipal building along North Street.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Wei Yu and the three in the back seat, and asked Shang Jianyao, who was in charge of driving:

"How long can this wave of 'reasoning clowns' last?"

This determined the time when they escaped from Weed City.

-In the previous search, they found Wei Yu and other members of Lei Yunsong's team without any accident.

Originally, it was inevitable that there would be a fierce battle, which was likely to cause casualties, but it happened that Odick was involved, and by suppressing the firepower, he found an opportunity to put Wei Yu and others into a deep sleep.

Because there were many guards nearby at that time, Jiang Baimian did not let Shang Jianyao use the "reasoning clown" to deal with the follow-up, nor did he directly wake up Wei Yu and others, try to break the "hypnosis", and greet relatives.

She chose to do light anesthesia and bring it back for further treatment.

While driving, Shang Jianyao shook his body slightly and said:

"A circular argument has been formed, no accident, it can last at least ten days and a half months.

"Even if you encounter something that contradicts the 'reasoning result' in your daily life, as long as it is not a particularly violent and diametrically opposed kind, it will be covered up by circular reasoning and become an accumulation until it reaches the critical line."

"That's good." Jiang Baimian nodded first, then asked curiously, "You just let them think you are a brother, moved by your spirit, and choose to help. This has nothing to do with many things in real life, and there are counter-examples. The probability is quite low. What if, if there were no counter-examples all the time?”

"The noble council hall will become a brotherhood hall." Shang Jianyao made a serious guess.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"This may not be big. They have real contradictions with each other, and over time, sooner or later, they will find out that they are wrong."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian turned his body sideways, looked at Shang Jianyao, and asked seriously:

"Just now, what do you think you have done wrong?"

Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:

"I should take you away first!"

Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes:

"This is the wrong choice!"

She sighed and said helplessly:

"At least give me a look before you do it, don't make a surprise attack.

"If I had reacted a little slower just now, I would have died!"

"Okay." Shang Jianyao agreed.

When they returned to the alley where the "Afford Gun Shop" was located, the order in the city had been initially restored, and the obstacles blocking the entrance to the courtyard had been removed.

We settled down Wei Yu and the others. They didn't go out anymore and stayed in the room, listening to sporadic gunshots.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky slowly darkened, and Weed City finally regained its stability.

Shang Jianyao and others were divided into two groups, went out of the alley, and came to South Street to confirm the current state.

At this time, there were people sitting at the gates of many smashed shops. They either bent their backs, looked at the ground, sobbed softly, or looked at the street ahead, weeping silently.

The streets are full of patrolling city guards, and many citizens and homeless people are there to help gather the bodies in order to get more food.

One by one the deceased were dragged away, leaving traces of blood red and red on the ground.

Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little cold on her face, subconsciously raised her head and looked at the sky.

The low-hanging clouds are like lead, and the crystal pieces of ice are falling down, more and more.

Long Yuehong stared blankly at this scene, stretched out her right hand to pick it up, and said in a low voice:

"Snowing… "
