Chapter 385 I'm familiar with this
It was a convoy of ten giant elephants, leading the way was a white-skinned elephant, extremely large in size, about four stories high, with its sharp, curved tusks emitting a cold light in the sun, and it was obvious that it had mutated.
The backs of the remaining elephants were covered with armor, with a metal cockpit hanging on each side. The dark barrels of heavy machine guns protruded from them, turning far away in the direction of their convoy.
The car in front slowly stopped, and Li Fanbo's somewhat nervous voice came over the radio: "General, that seems to be the convoy from Yacheng Base."
He Yang understood what Li Fanbo meant as soon as he heard it. He turned around and smiled, "Sweetheart, Aunt Li is worried that the unstable people in our car might overturn their convoy as soon as they see the gun barrel turn, so she hurried to explain."
I have to say that Li Fanbo was right to worry.
Yin Yanhan and Tuoba Qing, who had already straightened up, leaned back on their chairs without making a sound.
"Yacheng Base?" Ai Wanxin looked forward curiously, "How did you know that?"
He Yang pointed at the butt of the giant elephant at the end of the elephant team and said, "That's the number of the Yacheng garrison."
Ai Wanxin looked in the direction of his hand, and sure enough, she saw a string of numbers engraved by laser on the gray elephant skin.
"Moreover," He Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "It is said that Tai Shi Ning, the executive officer of Yacheng Base, has water-related abilities and can also control water-related mutant animals. The many mutant giant elephants in front must have been brought by him."
Hearing that He Yang was so familiar with the executive officers of other bases, Ai Wanxin suddenly remembered that there was something she had forgotten to ask. She immediately asked, "By the way, do you know who General Xue is?"
He Yang was stunned, not knowing why the topic changed so quickly, but he still answered her: "Sweetheart, there were several generals with the surname Xue before the end of the world, but the one who is still alive now should be Xue Muqing who is stationed in the Fear Plateau."
"Will he come this time?" Ai Wanxin asked.
Jing's eyes were burning. He knew what his sister wanted to ask. When they were looking for a decoder at the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics of the Academy of Sciences, they caught the teacher at the Sentinel Academy who was particularly good at giving chicken soup. The young teacher said that it was General Xue's people who asked him to find something. It must be Xue Muqing!
He Yang touched his prickly short hair and said in distress, "Sweetheart, do you want to look for him? I heard from my dad that Xue Muqing unilaterally cut off all ties with Glory City, and he obviously wanted the mercenaries to be independent. I don't think he will come this time."
"I'm not looking for him." Ai Wanxin shook her head and briefly told him about the capture of Tong Xichuan. "I guess he's also looking for meteorites. Isn't there a queue here? I just asked about it."
"Xue Muqing also wants to look for meteorites. Does he know something?" Pei Junlin asked.
"Maybe he was like Kang Baibo, who got a meteorite and gained extraordinary power, so he wanted to find some more." He Yang guessed.
Ai Wanxin's eyes lit up: "He got one?"
He Yang smiled and said, "Sweetheart, when we return to Glory City, you can ask the Military Intelligence Department for information about him. They will definitely have it."
Jing said with interest: "Why not go find him directly~"
He Yang groaned, "That'll have to wait until the Security Bureau meeting is over."
A few people were chatting casually in the car. Xue Muqing, who was far away in the Fear Plateau, had no idea that he was on the schedule. After talking for a while, the elephant team in front still showed no signs of moving.
After the convoy stopped, Li Fanbo and Han Ce got out of the car to negotiate. At this time, Han Ce trotted towards their armored vehicle, and soon, there was a knock on the car door.
He Yang opened the car window, leaned out half of his body, and said with a smile: "Han Ce, don't tell me that your Guanghui City Guards won't let you pass."
Han Ce said unhappily: "I need to report the situation to Junior Sister, please open the door quickly."
Speaking of business, He Yang didn't make things difficult for him and turned around to open the car door.
Han Ce paused as he was about to step into the car, put down his left leg which he had raised habitually, and stepped into the car again with his right leg. Unfortunately, his seductive glances were shown to a blind man, and Ai Wanxin had long forgotten how she had fooled him at that time.
Han Ce did not hesitate and said to Ai Wanxin: "Junior sister, we may have to wait a while. They are not sure whether the giant elephant can safely pass through the Huijiang Bridge, so they are trying to find a solution."
"What do you mean?" Jing asked in confusion, "Huijiang Bridge is a suspension bridge, with a maximum load-bearing capacity of 2000 tons, and a load-bearing capacity per unit area of over tons. How come these elephants can't get across?"
Han Ce shrugged, "It is said that the weight of the elephant head exceeds 100 tons, and the bridge deck of the Huijiang Bridge was washed away during the flood. The current bridge deck was urgently repaired by the sentinels, and it may not be able to bear such a heavy weight."
"In addition, this is the outermost of the four lines of defense outside of Glory City. Because the farther out you go, the longer the front line you need to defend. So in order to save manpower and material resources as much as possible, this line of defense mainly relies on the danger of the Hui River. If you want to cross the river to Glory City, you can only use a few cross-river bridges, or you can only wade through the water. But they are worried that the elephant team will get stuck in the mud at the bottom of the river, so they are discussing it."
Without waiting for Ai Wanxin to ask questions, Han Ce reported the rest of the situation.
Pei Junlin said with a smile: "It's not that difficult. Just seal the river and let them walk on the surface of the river."
Jing was enthusiastic for once: "I can open a shadow channel for them, sister."
Yi Shenshou, who had been silent the whole time, could not help but ask, "Why do we have to let these little...elephants cross the river?"
He was very interested in these mutated giant elephants, but he couldn't understand why it was necessary to bring these mutated giant elephants all the way from Ya City to Guanghui City?
This is really a question. Why is it necessary to bring these giant elephants all the way from Yacheng?
Seeing Ai Wanxin lost in thought, Han Ce said, "Junior Sister, I guess it's because such an elephant team is cool to enter the city."
ha?
Ai Wanxin slightly widened her eyes: "Why do we need to be cool when we go into the city?"
Han Ce glanced at He Yang and said, "I heard that the parliament intends to nominate one of the executive officers of each major base as the chief executive of the Security Bureau."
He Yang frowned slightly. The Security Bureau was currently under the temporary leadership of his father He Shifeng. The Speaker had long been dissatisfied. No wonder he summoned the executive officers of all major bases to gather in Guanghui City for a meeting when all parties were not yet stable. It turned out that he was waiting here.
Naturally, others also understood the key.
Jing asked: "But what does this have to do with being the coolest person in the city? Does it mean that the coolest person in the city should sit in this seat?"
Han Ce pondered for a moment, and said to Ai Wanxin: "The parliament has decided to nominate the chief executive officer. The plan is to take the form of voting. In addition to the votes in the hands of each member of the parliament, each base will also be allocated a certain number of votes according to the number of survivors."
"Generally speaking, unless there are any accidents, these votes will be taken by the executive officers of this base."
"Glorious City has the largest population and no executive officer. This means that the votes from Glorious City are a big variable and may even affect the final voting results."
"So it's not hard to understand why an executive officer who intends to run for the position of Chief Executive Officer wants to show off his strength in front of the residents of Glory City in order to win more votes."
After Han Ce finished speaking, he added: "I only know the preliminary design. There is no news yet on how it will be implemented in the end."
After hearing his words, Ai Wan nodded thoughtfully: "Is that so..."
"Publicity and promotion, this is something I am familiar with."
