Chapter 290 The Will of the Big Man
Chapter 290 The Will of the Big Man
Xihuang Plateau, the capital of Dongzhou.
In the hall, the crystal chandelier rotates slowly.
Well-dressed men and women were drinking and toasting, enjoying the performance on the stage or whispering to each other.
Judging from the relaxed expressions on their faces.
This was obviously a very pleasant social occasion for them.
As they whispered, they inevitably touched upon the current hotspots in Dongzhou, the amusement parks and large parks in Jianghe City.
"Have you seen it? The park in Jianghe City is well built."
“Everywhere is beautifully designed.”
"Even I was a little tempted and wanted to go there for an outing."
"It's a pity. I don't know what the managers there are thinking. They opened it to a bunch of peasants and ruined such a good environment."
The person who said this really felt a little sorry.
Even here in their capital, there are very few places that can reach the level of Jianghe City's large parks.
Of course, he was just talking at best.
Express your superiority.
Regardless of whether Su Wu was open to the general public or not, he would not risk traveling two or three thousand kilometers from the capital of Dongzhou to visit Jianghe City.
"What's the use of it being good?"
"If it is built in a place like that, it will be destroyed sooner or later."
The other person showed disdain in his eyes. When talking about Jianghe City, it was as if humans were looking at ants, not considering them as the same kind at all.
"Actually, there's no need to feel sorry."
"There are tens of millions of people there anyway."
"Let them taste something good before they die, and consider it a good deed."
A handsome young man wearing a red tie, looking sunny and friendly, comforted the person who spoke first.
The guests who can appear in this banquet hall are all the dignitaries who truly stand at the top of the entire Dongzhou.
They know some secret information.
Looking at the survivors outside the plateau, at the low altitude line, is like looking at dying people.
If it weren’t for the fact that the commotion in Jianghe City was too loud.
The results they created also made them feel an unspeakable envy.
They wouldn't even mention the survivors to avoid bad luck.
Office of the Governor of Dongzhou.
Yi Nengjing also received information about Jianghe City.
However, there is not much mention of amusement parks and parks in the intelligence.
The focus is on the more than 300 sixth-generation fighter jets and tens of thousands of Qingkong-class transport drones.
Those high-performance aircraft have now established an air transport network in the skies over most of Dongzhou.
The amount of materials that can be transported every day is as high as hundreds of thousands of tons.
It can transport supplies and naturally carry bombs.
Jianghe City’s war potential, even excluding the space-based weapons in orbit, is already huge enough to be frightening.
"It's clearly the end of the world."
"How come such a monster suddenly appeared?"
"Not only are we able to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet ourselves, we are also capable of mass-producing it."
Yi Nengjing put down the documents in her hand with a headache.
He turned his attention to the office screen and saw some photos of Jianghe City's merchant caravan taken in the shelter.
Such a huge structure with a length of more than 1 kilometer from head to tail can be built in the capital of Dongzhou.
But the cost is far greater than the benefits it can bring.
From this aspect.
It is also a unique advantage of Jianghe City.
"We need to be alert."
“Everywhere else is fine.”
"We must never give up the interests of the Western Wilderness Plateau."
"At most, we'll leave them an area of several hundred square kilometers."
"Let their top leaders come here to seek refuge."
"Nothing else will do."
Yi Nengjing drew a bottom line for herself in her heart.
Its strength has expanded to the level of Jianghe City.
It is almost impossible to make them wait for death when they are at the end of their rope.
In order to avoid more intense conflicts and huge losses.
Appropriate concession is almost the only option.
However, this concession must have a bottom line and cannot affect the final plan of the Dongzhou capital.
The pros and cons involved require Yi Nengjing to think carefully before finalizing it.
Compared with Jianghe City.
Other cities that are not under the control of the East Continent capital, such as several other super cities in the Southeast Alliance, do not receive such good treatment.
Their top leaders either have to fend for themselves.
Or they could just give up everything, hand over all the rare resources they brought with them, and gain the qualification to join the capital of Dongzhou as an ordinary citizen.
This is equivalent to falling directly from the class of the powerful to the class of ordinary people.
In the future, no matter what happens, I can only wait for mercy from those in power, just like ordinary people.
A place in the far east thousands of miles away from the capital of Dongzhou.
Three dark fighter planes flew through the clouds.
Approaching from the air a convoy that was engaged in combat with a caravan.
After a few seconds.
A long series of huge explosions formed a continuous sea of fire, which spread rapidly forward on the ground along the flight paths of the three fighter planes.
Hundreds of armored vehicles and tanks were swallowed up.
"Confirmed that the target's main force has been destroyed."
"Start returning."
The fighter plane circled above the flames.
Then it slightly raised the angle and disappeared into the clouds again.
Coming and going is like a startled wild goose.
below.
In a carriage of a caravan.
Wearing exoskeleton armor.
Roman, who was responsible for operating the rocket launcher in the carriage, scanned the armed vehicles destroyed in the bombing by fighter planes through the optoelectronic radar.
The tense nerves relaxed.
"Now those who dare to come out and rob people."
“It’s getting more and more difficult.”
"Luckily we were able to call for air support."
I listened to the voice in my headphones, the AI announcing that the enemy had been completely wiped out and the alert was lifted.
Romen crawled out of the egg-shaped operating cabin.
Outside, thirty or forty refugees that the caravan had gathered along the way were looking at him with somewhat uneasy eyes.
He looked as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant.
Obviously, he wanted to ask him about the situation outside, but he had some reservations.
"never mind."
"The robbers outside were eliminated by our fighter planes."
"Not one escaped."
Reaching out to open the mask on his face, Romen smiled.
He took the initiative to speak in comfort.
At the Jianghe City Shelter.
Basically everyone is directly managed by artificial intelligence.
So don’t look at these people in front of you, they may seem humble and downtrodden.
Wait until we return to Jianghe City later.
They are the residents of the shelter just like Romen.
There is no distinction between high and low status.
If you show a good attitude now, it can be considered as making good connections.
At the same time, at the same time.
The front part of the caravan's train.
Two spider robots carry reconnaissance equipment.
Go and collect the enemy's debris scattered across the snowfield.
Then we quickly compared multiple sets of data.
Traced back to their origins.
A large shelter just over 20 kilometers away.
"Hostile shelter discovered."
"Begin to establish the clearance mission."
The two lines of data circulated back and forth between the caravan and a farmhouse in Jianghe City thousands of miles away through a network established by satellites in the sky.
Subsequently.
The caravan started to adjust its direction.
Heading towards the large shelter.
And within hundreds of kilometers around it.
Including three Kongming-class sixth-generation fighter jets that had just completed a bombing mission and had not yet left.
A total of 12 fighter jets began to head towards the nearest temporary vertical take-off and landing airport to replenish ammunition and load a batch of packaged combat robot containers.
Prepare to join the caravan and launch an attack on the target.
This was a small joint operation between Su Wu's mature air transport network and ground forces.
if necessary.
For example, encountering an enemy that is stronger than expected.
Then a larger area of sixth-generation fighter jets that are currently performing air transport missions will be mobilized to provide support.
Until the core of the entire air transportation network, the four permanent vertical take-off and landing platforms of the farmyard shelter, were completely awakened.
From there, full mobilization began.
This mechanism enabled Su Wu to have the ability to quickly strike most of Dongzhou.
As long as he wants.
It is enough to occupy any large-scale civilian or even official shelter in Dongzhou except the Western Wilderness Plateau within an hour.
40 minute later.
With the last gunshot, he disappeared into a building deep underground.
A large shelter that attempted to attack a caravan.
Declare total fall.
Tens of thousands of lower-class residents who are like livestock.
Freed from the cramped confinement of the camp.
They received food subsidies that allowed them to eat enough for the first time in several months.
And around it.
Those other shelter forces who are silently watching the developments here.
Everyone looked at it with awe in their hearts.
Some of them treated ordinary shelter residents like their own.
The attitude may not be much better than this large shelter.
I didn’t need to care before.
but now.
There is a powerful force stationed near the doorstep, which seems to have great goodwill towards the lower classes.
They will have to think twice if they want to act as recklessly as before.
Because being nice to the lower class means there is a natural hostility towards those who stand opposite to the lower class.
Be careful and cautious.
It is very likely that they will be the next to be hit.
the following few days.
Beneath this frozen land, which is also blocked by wind, snow, and extreme cold.
Many ordinary survivors who have been squeezed to the limit.
Suddenly they found that they seemed to have a moment to breathe.
The entertainment program that used to involve people being dragged out and tortured at any time for the upper class to watch is no longer performed so frequently.
That came from the order of a large shelter nearby.
Just like the sunshine.
A tiny part of it was silently separated and shone on them.
2 month 26 day.
It was a morning when the wind and snow stopped and the icy fog dissipated.
A sharp alarm sounded.
Su Wu, who was busy dealing with the internal affairs of the shelter, was forced to interrupt his work.
He switched the screens on his console.
Check the source of the alert.
Then the pupils shrank slightly.
It seemed to reflect a ray of red flames of war.
"It caused such a big commotion."
"Is Amethyst planning a decisive battle?"
Stand up.
Su Wu came to the metal platform.
The holographic projection map of the Qinling Mountains area was opened.
On both sides of the lava canyon above, there are logos representing turrets.
More than two-thirds have turned gray.
That means they are completely destroyed and no longer worth repairing.
"Some of the purple crystals have evolved to the point where they can actually fly."
"It also has armor and ranged attack capabilities."
With the help of surveillance cameras on some turrets that have not yet fallen.
Su Wu saw the front line of the lava canyon and got the most authentic first-hand information.
The amethyst that was once like a stone could only passively and clumsily take beatings.
The appearance at this point is completely different.
Evolved wings and shells like insects.
It can also be passed through the tail or mouth.
Fires spikes with the speed of a rifle bullet.
And more importantly.
Their numbers are overwhelming.
A cursory look.
The number of flying evolved forms filling the lava canyon is at least one hundred thousand.
Just during the few short seconds that Su Wu observed.
There are more than a dozen artillery batteries on the Lava Canyon.
It was completely destroyed by Amethyst with overwhelming numerical advantage.
"Clear the field first."
There was no time to continue observing the situation.
See the crisis of war.
Su Wu was the first to react.
Let several heavy artillery clusters be stationed at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.
Launch several rounds of long-range artillery fire.
Ten seconds later.
Accompanied by a rolling and sharp sound of breaking through the air.
More than 100 120mm howitzers fell from the sky.
Fall precisely into the crack of the lava canyon.
Then exploded on their rock walls and the ground.
Spreading endless flames and heat waves.
then.
Before the effects of the explosion could spread.
The same number of shells followed.
A dense and powerful explosion.
It swept across the entire lava canyon, all space within several kilometers.
Let the rock walls on both sides shatter.
The flying Evolved Amethyst was engulfed in flames and shock waves powerful enough to tear apart steel.
More than a minute later.
As the smoke gradually dissipated in the lava canyon.
The artillery positions originally located on the rock walls on both sides have basically disappeared without a trace.
They were bombarded indiscriminately by heavy artillery fire.
None of them were spared.
Their opponents are hundreds of thousands of flying purple crystals.
It's not much better either.
The originally dense formation was torn into pieces.
A large amount of broken debris floated in the air like dust.
Slowly sinking down bit by bit.
It took only a few rounds of heavy artillery fire, less than a minute.
More than 99% of these flying purple crystals that seemed to cover the sky and the sun were destroyed.
Only a few thousand lucky ones survived.
It was still circling around its original target, the artillery position which had now become a ruin, in a daze.
But this scene of decay.
It only lasted a moment.
soon.
Accompanied by the constant surge of magma lakes on the ground.
New densely packed flying amethyst crystals.
Get out of it.
It began like a swarm of bees, spreading towards the canyon exit which was several thousand meters high.
After the blockade of the artillery batteries on both sides of the rock wall was gone.
These amethysts.
Finally they can swarm out without restraint.
Go and see the wider world outside the canyon.
And there, there was the second line of defense where Su Wu was ready to fight.
