Chapter 299: Surrender under the Trend
Weigh the pros and cons.

Su Wu came up with the idea of ​​dismantling those communication signal towers and moving them to other super cities to increase the local LAN speed.

That way.

He can then charge an additional Internet service fee to the official agencies of those super cities.

It can at least bring out the surplus value of communication signal towers.

It also reduces the pressure of guarding them.

but.

If you want to truly relocate the communication signal tower, you must first eliminate the purple crystals gathered around the tower.

Turn your attention back to Communication Tower No. 6 in Shanghe City.

Su Wu took a quick look at the current air transportation network.

It was discovered that there are approximately 9700 Qingkong-class transport drones distributed around Jianghe City, which can reach there within two hours.

There are slightly fewer sixth-generation fighters.

They fly faster though.

However, because they were scattered throughout Dongzhou, only about 150 of them could gather together in a short period of time.

"That's about enough."

Su Wu issued a call to the nearby aircraft.

Land the Blue Sky-class transport drone at a nearby shelter or mine, and load a spider robot and approximately 100 kg of ammunition on site.

Then fly directly to communication signal tower No. 6.

The sixth-generation fighter jets first returned to the farmyard.

After loading aerial bombs and a small amount of anti-aircraft weapons, they went over to provide support.

As his orders came into effect.

Two minutes later.

The first batch of 20 Kongming-class sixth-generation fighter jets, which were being repaired in a farmyard, completed all preparations.

Start preparing to set off.

To save time during takeoff.

Except for four of them occupying four take-off and landing platforms, they took off by vertical take-off and landing.

The other 16 aircraft passed through the exit channel originally reserved for the Qingkong-class transport drones.

Arrived at the wide and flat rooftop of the shelter.

Routine takeoffs are carried out with the help of the dozen or so runways temporarily planned there.

Although the sixth-generation fighter jets have powerful vertical take-off and landing capabilities.

But the runway cannot be used in an emergency.

The hardware requirements for the runway are slightly higher.

The runway must be at least 2 kilometers long and the surface must have sufficient friction and hardness.

Currently, there is only the rooftop of the farmyard shelter, which is built with thick quick-concrete and has auxiliary robots to clean up the ice and snow that fall on it at all times.

It can be used to plan this kind of runway, but not anywhere else.

Over the cold and silent farmyard shelter.

One after another, sixth-generation fighter jets took off into the sky.

In a very short time, a neat formation was formed.

Then with a roar.

It flew rapidly towards the southeast at a speed several times faster than the speed of sound.

They will bring the first batch of support to Su Wu.

A pure and extreme fire bombing launched by aerial bombs.

And then.

There will be more batches of aircraft going there until the huge number of them overwhelms the group of purple crystals gathered in Shanghe City.

this day.

Kuanjiang River Basin area.

Many official shelters were shocked to find.

Above their heads, there appeared so many flying vehicles that they seemed to block out the sun.

Flying in the same direction continuously.

For several hours in a row.

The air on the surface around the shelter was constantly echoing with sharp whistling sounds due to the extreme operation of the detonation engines of multiple batches of sixth-generation fighter jets.

Tumen City.

Official shelter, director's office.

Gong Li, the highest officer of the entire shelter, was gazing at the sky outside through the computer on his desk.

Wave after wave of pitch-black supersonic fighters passed through their shelter.

There are also even larger, seemingly endless numbers of silver-white fixed-wing transport aircraft.

in silence.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

He asked with a somewhat lonely look.

"Zhi Xin, do you know what they are going to do?"

Tang Zhixin looked at his old partner.

I found that on his face, there was no longer the high-spirited and sharp edge that he had when he first took control of the highest power in Tumen City.

Some are left with only deep fatigue and helplessness.

There is also confusion about the future.

Tang Zhixin felt the same way.

There is a domineering and powerful neighbor like Jianghe City next to us.

Even as a deputy, he could feel the almost suffocating pressure, let alone the director who was in charge of the entire shelter.

If we take a wrong step, the entire shelter could be destroyed.

"According to the information they published online not long ago."

"It's because the base in Shanghe City was besieged by a large number of purple crystals."

"That's why we dispatched so many aircraft to provide support."

Jianghe City has its own dedicated radio and television station and online video account.

Every time there is a major move, whether internally or externally, we like to report it publicly.

Therefore, just pay some attention to them.

As for the amethyst itself, there is also the Qinling Mountains, the base camp of the amethyst, and a series of situations in which the amethyst subsequently spread.

Everyone will be familiar with it.

"In fact, we are lucky."

"Those purple crystals did not choose us who were close to their base camp."

"Instead, they bypassed us and attacked Shanghe City, which is several hundred kilometers away."

"Otherwise our shelter would have been breached by now."

Gong Li laughed at himself.

"almost."

"Those purple crystals can dig holes and have powerful explosive means."

"As long as the number increases a little, it will be difficult for us to resist."

"We can only ask Jianghe City for help."

Tang Zhixin made a rough estimate and told the truth in a somewhat helpless tone.

Tumen City is just an ordinary city after all.

Even before the end of the world, it would be impossible to have too many armed forces stationed.

Facing Amethyst, who could go head-on with Jianghe City, there was basically no chance of winning.

"Ask for help?"

"I'm afraid that by the time the reinforcements from Jianghe City arrive, both of us will be killed in the battle."

Gong Li shook his head.

After all, he is at the top of the city.

He knew that no one, including him, who could sit in this position, would be merciful.

Based on Jianghe City’s past style of doing things.

I always keep an eye on them when I have nothing to do.

Once something really happens, it will give them an excuse, and it would be strange if they don't take the opportunity to annex us.

It’s just understanding.

There was nothing he could do about it.

In the face of the general trend, individual will is insignificant.

There was silence for a while.

Looking at the mighty flying formation on the screen, Gong Li suddenly made a decision.

"Let us surrender."

"surrender?"

Tang Zhixin's heart moved slightly after hearing this.

"You can't escape sooner or later anyway."

"Instead of being scared all day, it's better to be proactive."

Gong Li's thoughts became extremely clear at this moment.

"Besides, if we take the initiative to join Jianghe City, we should at least be able to get slightly better treatment."

"It's better than nothing."

Zoom out.

On this day, there were more than one official shelter director who had the same idea as Gong Li.

And there are people who are one step faster than him in action.

Jianghe City, the basement floor of a farmhouse.

Su Wu received a request for surrender from the ruler of a city in the Kuanjiang River Basin.

"Retain some power to govern the population under your jurisdiction?"

“There is no such statement.”

"There is no privileged class in Jianghe City. Everyone is uniformly managed by artificial intelligence."

Su Wu bluntly rejected the other party's request to retain some power.

He did not allow the existence of any other privileged class besides himself within his sphere of influence.

However, he would not give up an inch of power.

But pure wealth is not something that cannot be negotiated.

"We can provide a 300-square-meter luxury family suite for each family of your senior executives."

"Exempt them from military service and work obligations."

"Then, at a rate of one ten-thousandth, we will convert the rare resources in your hands into corresponding contribution values ​​and return them to you."

“Nothing else will work.”

The conditions offered by Su Wu seemed quite harsh.

In fact, it is actually very good.

A 300-square-meter house may not be spacious for a group of powerful people who control a population of one million and stand at the top of a city that was once at the same level as Jianghe City.

But it also depends on where it is located.

Inside the farmyard and in Tumen City.

Just like before the end of the world, in the first-tier coastal cities and inland rural areas.

The gap is even bigger.

After all, living in the countryside, at least there are no security issues.

Living in Tumen City is like owning a luxurious manor.

Once encountering natural disasters or man-made disasters, such as the invasion of amethysts that is so close.

The only outcome would be the destruction of the family.

There is no place to escape to.

What's more, there will be additional contribution value compensation later.

The entire Tumen City has a stockpile of rare resources, although the total amount is not too large for one force.

But it falls into the hands of individuals.

Even if it has to be discounted to one ten-thousandth of the original price.

It is also a huge amount of wealth that is not easy to squander in a lifetime.

An ending where one loses power but still lives a life of wealth and prosperity.

After all, it is still within the psychological bottom line of most of the people in power in the official shelters who want to seek refuge.

After finding no other choice.

In the end, without exception, they all agreed to the merger terms.

The entire Kuanjiang River Basin.

A total of four cities decided to take the initiative to surrender to Su Wu.

There are also more than a dozen official shelters from the city to the county level, with no obvious movement.

They may not be aware of the dangerous situation outside.

Maybe it's just pure luck.

Compared to losing power and status.

The rulers of these shelters prefer to be buried with the entire shelter.

Shanghe City.

Near the No. 6 communication signal tower.

A low roar came from the sky.

20 pitch-black fighter planes, arranged in neat columns, flew over the six-story fortress.

Dropping powerful aerial bombs one after another.

These aerial bombs were equipped with gliding wings and small auxiliary engines.

Ability to adjust the landing location to a limited extent during landing.

Just this one function increases their bombing efficiency several times.

As a result, almost all the aerial bombs dropped were destroyed.

Finally, they all fell into the area where the surrounding purple crystals were active.

Explosions far exceeding the level of 150mm heavy artillery rose from the ground.

They converged into a sea of ​​fire of astonishingly exaggerated size.

The thick black smoke produced by the burning almost covered the sky.

The area where the fortress was located became dark and gloomy.

It was as if we had entered night.

Inside the sixth-floor fortress.

"Support is coming."

"Everybody hang in there."

On the combat channel.

Captain Yang Wei's voice had become hoarse due to long-term command.

Inside the operating cabin.

Liu Yi clenched his teeth.

Without saying a word, he tried hard to operate the multi-barrel electromagnetic machine gun on the 6th floor, firing at the purple crystals outside with all his strength.

at this time.

There is no such thing as saving ammunition.

Even if you miss, it's better than stopping and aiming again.

The superior performance of electromagnetic machine guns over conventional gunpowder weapons was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Even after long periods of continuous shooting, there was no sign of the barrel becoming soft or overheating.

Always maintain a firing rate close to its peak.

The result was almost exaggerated.

Liu Yi couldn't even remember how many Amethysts had died under his machine gun.

But one thing he was sure of was that the number was at least several hundred or thousands.

Just an outstanding result.

It didn't make him feel very satisfied.

Because at this time, a lot of purple crystals had already broken through the fortress's firepower defense line.

Entered the fortress.

They engaged in close combat with the robots stationed at key locations in the fortress.

Liu Yi could even hear the sound of the robot dog being picked up by the invading monster's tail and thrown against the wall just above his head.

There has never been a moment like this.

It made him feel that death was near.

Fortunately, in reality, he was somewhat blessed with some luck.

Thanks to the rapid cement pouring also used between the floors inside the fortress.

Even though the fight upstairs was intense.

It took more than half an hour afterwards.

He was never able to break through the floor and allow the battle to reach where he was.

And behind.

With the appearance of more and more sixth-generation fighter jets, the flames caused by aerial bombs were brought to every corner within a few kilometers around.

The attack comes from the amethyst.

Finally slowed down.

Then, one Qingkong-class transport drone after another appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

They landed one after another through the naturally formed plains on the distant ice field.

Gradually bringing in tens of thousands of spider robots.

The situation on the entire battlefield finally turned from danger to safety.

It turned into a siege on Amethyst.

And later, when a caravan was in transit.

When it appeared in the distance at the foot of the mountains where the communication signal tower was located.

Including Liu Yi, there were only six people left in the fortress.

The bitter voices of those who survived the disaster were heard.

"We won—"

Destroyed the group of purple crystals gathered in Shanghe City.

The entire Kuanjiang River Basin enjoyed a rare period of peace.

Take advantage of this time.

Su Wu mobilized a total of 50 caravans at once.

They began to investigate the communication signal towers that stood in the area, as well as the population and resources of all official shelters in the four newly-relocated cities.

Carry out large-scale transfer.
