Chapter 975

"The Qinggang Refuge's return to defense is really slow. It seems that the combat effectiveness has decayed like this due to the lack of necessary actual combat experience over the long years."

Standing at the gap of a broken high-rise building, Su Mo put down the binoculars, closed his eyes and rubbed his stiff temples.

Numerous wars have proved that strength on paper cannot completely determine the outcome of a battle.

There are more than a thousand exoskeleton armors in the Clear Harbor Refuge, and there are nearly a hundred flying formations with full suppressive power, plus the various chariots and tanks that can be called overlords on the ground.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to let the wanderers break into the high wall and cause such large-scale damage.

But that's what it is, on the level of loss.

Sunshine Harbor Sanctuary lost, and the loss was extremely thorough.

If it weren't for the Tianyuan army guarding the gap for more than 20 minutes in order to gain experience.

Now it is impossible for only two or three thousand homeless people to come out, but at least over ten thousand homeless people can successfully escape.

They will disappear into the thick fog with a large amount of supplies, and disappear in this city of Sunny Harbor, which is about to become the center of chaos.

"They didn't lose because of inexperience, but because of arrogance."

"This is unavoidable. Almost every powerful force will make this kind of mistake more or less."

Su Deben, who was standing on the side, shook his head, as if thinking of some bad memories that happened in the past.

"If you are the manager of the Clear Harbor Refuge, someone will tell you that there is a team of homeless people without any training and no tactical literacy. The flames of war have spread to the entire industrial area, and the remaining guards can be defeated, will you believe it?"

"Too confident, too arrogant, this is a clear signal that a powerful force is weakening."

Listening to Su Deben's speech of hating iron and steel, Su Mo couldn't help falling into silence, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Pretty much what he said.

The current situation in the Clear Harbor Refuge is more or less definitely due to arrogance.

However, thinking about the development of Tianyuan Territory, it is bound to have a direct conflict with the other party in the future.

Su Mo felt a little lucky again.

Right now, this large-scale industrial area has been destroyed by homeless people. Even if the Qinggang Refuge wants to restore it, it will not be completed overnight.

Coupled with the upcoming disaster attack, this is tantamount to greatly weakening the opponent's strength.

There's that in-between time, as long as Territory catches up...

Glancing at the elated expressions of the soldiers of the Tianyuan Army, one team after another returned to the gathering place and began to collect a large number of spoils on the ground.

And in the game area channel, everyone excitedly reported their soaring levels.

Su Mo nodded slightly, and couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the idea of ​​the game's opening route.

The route is indeed the easiest way for the human beings on the earth to become stronger.

If you want to develop peacefully, you have to endure being left behind by the large army, and you will fall behind in terms of level and ability.

And if you want to fight, this is indeed the situation that the game most wants to see.

...

After besieging and killing the remaining homeless and looters inside the high wall, after the return of the large army from the Clear Harbor Sanctuary, the situation has basically shown a one-sided trend.

Facing the equipment that was completely crushed, the homeless inside probably knew what was going to happen, and had no intention of surrendering at all.

After all, destruction is always easier than defense, and no bottom line is always more advantageous than having a bottom line.

Whether it's the flying formation in the air or the armored force on the ground, the Qinggang Army's style of play is extremely conservative. Once facing homeless people hijacking residents or hiding inside factory buildings, they will shrink back because they don't want to expand their losses.

Once this idea was born, it was captured by the wanderers.

In the situation of complete chaos and the Qinggang Refuge's war against the mouse, these people relied on the buildings inside the industrial zone, but the vanguard of Qinggang retreated steadily.

Afterwards, with a shout from the head of a homeless person, everyone moved to the river while beating.

The commander of Qinggang obviously also saw this, so he decisively dispatched an air formation to blow up the entire river channel with bombs, completely killing the last hope of survival of the homeless.

In this way, after being driven to a dead end, the homeless also started a life-for-life counterattack, and the battle situation became a life-and-death contest.

Many wanderers put on the exoskeleton armor of the casualty Qinggang Army, and took the opportunity to sneak into it and detonate the bomb.

Bullets and gunpowder were like flying stars, the air was filled with a strong sulfur smell, and the entire battlefield was completely turned into a meat grinder.

Because of leaving early, Su Mo did not see how much damage this group of people had caused to this industrial area at the last moment of their lives.

But perhaps for the sake of retaliation for the homeless, before the Tianyuan Army completely retreated to the western suburbs, three more shocking explosions occurred in the entire city.

One is in the direction of the wandering jungle, and the other two are in the direction of the homeless who rushed out of the high wall to escape, which is no less powerful than the previous neutralization of the hydrogen bomb explosion.

This movement was enough to show how terrible the loss of the Clear Harbor Sanctuary was.

"Thank God, you guys are back."

At the edge of the path entering the northern suburbs, Luke jumped down wearing a power armor and landed on the ground.

He glanced at the "bundle harvest" Tianyuan warriors in surprise, finally swallowed his saliva, and looked away.

The keen fighter's intuition told him that these people had definitely been deeply involved in the battle.

No matter from their expressions, or the strong smell of blood on their bodies, or the blood stains and debris that have not been cleaned up.

Compared to the guards of the caravan, this group of people is more like wild wolves out of the cage, and they have already had a good meal.

Even if they are poor, they are only worthy of such crude weapons and equipment.

This fighting spirit alone is enough to surpass too many large gathering places.

"The battle over there was really fierce. We just helped out on the periphery, and we were almost regarded as enemies."

"Fortunately, luck is still on our side."

Su Mo smiled, and didn't dwell too much on this topic.

Looking at Luke who was hesitant and wanted to continue asking, he stepped forward and put his hand on the other's shoulder lightly:

"Friend, you are not going to tell the Clear Harbor Refuge this news, are you?"

"When... of course not, I didn't see anything."

Luke shrank his head and took a step back without knowing it, with an awkward smile on his face.

Nonsense, there was news from the caravan just now, and Xiao En personally urged Wan to protect this group of people.

For a businessman, being able to say this, in terms of value, Tianyuan Refuge has completely surpassed Qinggang Refuge.

Right now, they don't have any casualties, and there are no accidents, so they don't need to take risks to rescue them.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

...

The rumbling explosions did not stop because of the dropping of the three bombs.

With the passage of time, the crazy revenge of Sunshine Harbor Sanctuary gradually spread to every corner of the entire city, breaking the long-lost tranquility.

Integrated armored units, flight formations constantly flying through the air, and the red-eyed Qinggang Army.

Those homeless people who did not participate in the operation began to be arrested and transported in waves to the direction of the industrial area.

Looking at the tall warriors walking beside them, their faces were full of fear:

"We weren't involved...why, why were we caught?!"

"Aggression, aggression is done by marauders, we...we're just scavengers in the city."

"It is the evil deeds of the Wandering Alliance, it is them, they are going to attack you."

"Old Gopher, damn old Gopher, let me go!"

"..."

All kinds of low-pitched cursing and crying did not make the cold Qinggang army hesitate at all.

The icy anklets tied the wanderers together, and they walked away with heavy steps.

There are men and there are women.

There are old people and children.

Some small gathering places hidden in the corners of the city were not spared, as long as they were discovered by the Qinggang Army, they would be captured and forced to become part of the team.

And at the entrance and exit of the wandering jungle.

About a hundred corpses were hung on crooked-neck trees, mixed into the dense fog, looking like ghost films.

"The top executives of the Vagabond Alliance have all been executed, and now they put down their weapons and give up resistance."

"Join the Clear Harbor Sanctuary, become a coolie, and survive."

"Otherwise, die!"

A high-power loudspeaker was placed at the entrance and exit, and homeless people with ashen faces came out one after another.

Perhaps before the raid broke out, they had more or less guessed the result.

But for the rat-like bottom of the city, there is actually no other choice.

To join is to die.

To resist is to die.

Only at the mercy of others like now can there be a slight possibility of survival.

History has never changed, just like the result of homeless riots decades ago, suffering has come again.

Somewhere in the southern suburbs.

Underneath the pitch-black hexagonal building.

More than twenty shelter managers of various shapes sat at the conference table, with extremely cramped expressions on their faces.

In front of them, a man in fiery red power armor was holding a sixteen-inch tablet.

A certain video of Mohu is being played on it, and a clear voice comes from inside.

"Yes, we can provide you with weapons, but what about the benefits, offending the Clear Harbor Sanctuary is not a good thing."

"Benefits? How could there be no benefits, we can help you weaken their strength."

"Yes, if you want to continue watching the Clear Harbor Refuge ride on your head, using powerful force to eat away at your refuge and squeeze your productivity, then we have nothing to say."

"It's ridiculous, with a mob like you, even if you have weapons, you can't break into that high wall, let alone how to weaken their strength."

"How is it impossible, we have this..."

"Didn't they want to call you for a meeting? Only by bringing it inside that high wall can we let Sunshine Harbor Refuge know the consequences."

"Hydrogen bomb... you guys..."

"..."

The picture in the video does not make it clear who is talking with whom.

But just hearing this voice, many people in the crowd began to turn pale.

"You succeeded."

The man in the fiery red power armor opened his helmet, revealing a face full of scars.

His expression was meticulous, scanning everyone present like a cold stone.

"Seventy percent of the industrial area was destroyed, and all the high-energy pipelines erected in the air collapsed."

There was a response in my ear.

"Lord Kyle, it wasn't us who did it, it was the group of homeless people, it was them!

"

"Heh, is it important?"

There was a hint of disdain on the man's face, as if he had once again realized the shamelessness of human nature.

Just relying on a video and recording does not prove that the weapons supporting the homeless are from these people.

After all, when they were talking, they had carefully put on voice changers in advance, and their voices had obviously changed.

In addition, there were no marks on those weapons, and there was no trace of Gopher Lao at all.

Of course, the executives of the Homeless Alliance, who had already been executed, did confess that this group of old gophers from the southern suburbs were the mastermind behind the instigation.

but.

This bit of witness is useless, the damn old gopher will never admit it, and take the blame on himself.

"We don't want to fight you early in this strange world, and we don't want to thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of this matter."

"The sunny harbor is still the sunny harbor for everyone."

"But there is a premise that within thirty days, I need to see the industrial core appear on Lord Hades's table."

"Industrial core?"

The managers sitting off the court all showed surprised expressions.

You look at me, I look at you, eyes full of doubts.

"The advanced industrial core that made the high-energy transmission pipeline was stolen in this battle. We don't know if the wanderers who broke out stole it, or you people stole it by stealing it."

"But you know, the time left for you is only thirty days."

"If Master Hades can't see the industrial core within thirty days, then the war between us will be inevitable until someone is willing to hand it over."

After the man finished speaking domineeringly, he retracted the tablet in his hand into the battle armor, opened the door and left.

The small meeting room suddenly fell silent.

Someone stole an industrial core?

No wonder this Sunny Harbor Refuge is so crazy, after all, compared to an industrial area that can be rebuilt with only basic materials.

The value of an advanced industrial core can be exchanged for massive resources from the Foundation.

"Hurry up, send our people to go find it quickly, I don't want to fight these crazy people!"

"Whoever took it, give it to them quickly, damn it."

"Send someone to look for it, and look for it in the direction the homeless people left. They will definitely not go far."

"Advanced industrial core... No wonder Hades is so crazy and wants to fight all of us."

...

Western Suburbs.

Looking at the man standing in front of him, the tall Liehu had a gloomy expression on his face.

"I state again ... we were absolutely not involved."

"Whether you want to believe it or not, we don't have any reason to start this war against you."

"I believe?"

The man sneered: "Liehu, don't pretend to be a good person here. We know that you have resentment for the mediation a few days ago, but now we are willing to give you a chance."

"Find the stolen industrial core, the previous dispute between you and the harbor shelter, there will be no third force in this city involved."

"really?"

"Of course, this is Lord Hades' promise to you. Even if you are willing, the newly-appeared Tianyuan Sanctuary can also be included in your sphere of influence. Aren't you already envious of their fertile land and resources? ?”

"Find the industrial core, the entire western suburbs are your territory, and there will be and only your voice here!"

...
