A building outside the industrial zone

With his "invisible cloak", Cai Zhijun finally successfully sneaked into the safe house closest to the industrial area. He looked at his watch, calculated the current time, and began to calculate the external time - in this city covered by time fog, there was no sunrise and sunset, and the light relied on the self-luminescence and light of the time fog itself. It looked like it was maintaining 24 hours of haze, and it could not intuitively feel the past of the days. However, through several information transmissions with the infiltration investigators, he began to calculate the time difference between inside and outside, and finally found that it was about 1 to 60. From the relevant information he learned, this seemed to be the limit of short-term exposure of time weapons. If the Tianfeng was not shot down in time, this ratio might be greater.

However, after sneaking along the way, he felt that the originally noisy city had finally calmed down and returned to its original appearance. The noisy destroyers were almost gone, the streets were empty, and there were many messes after the destruction.

Cai Zhijun had a bad premonition, but he didn't take it seriously - after all, these temporarily gathered mobs were just a group of teenagers who were venting everywhere. It was very difficult to form an army and could not be formed without a few months of training. Besides, if you really start, it would be even worse than those of Gu Hanzhi back then. I guess when the ground troops of the Chinese army arrived, they would cry and come over to surrender.

Cai Zhijun turned on the electronic telescope and enabled the perspective function to observe the situation in the industrial zone from a distance. However, many of these confidential industrial zones have certain confidentiality, and they have their own anti-scandid shooting designs. The walls contain a lot of lead, and they are specially planned from the location, so they can't see anything from a distance.

Looking at the Xing Tian robot standing guard around, Cai Zhijun did not dare to dispatch small drones. He could only angrily scold the original designer for not considering the difficulties of their intelligence personnel at all, and then began to call out the three-dimensional map of the city and plan the route to observe it closely.

However, not long after, the electronic telescope observed another amazing scene - a large number of dejected young men were locked by iron chains and entered the factory area under the escort of several Xingtian robots and a group of people holding various tools and wearing blue work clothes of the unified factory. The moment the door opened, you could see a group of people with the same uniforms doing something similar to radio gymnastics inside.

Seeing the door slowly closing behind these people, Cai Zhijun was also a little worried. Judging from the actions of those people just now, it was already quite uniform. This may be related to the education they received, but they only used the sense of order they learned in school again.

He hurriedly turned on the monitors of all the safe houses in the city, and then he found that none of these snatches could be seen on these snatches. He could still see the occasionally passing factory trucks. With the help of Xingtian robot, the "blue work clothes" of young people wearing exaggerated clothes were driving towards the industrial zone.

"Is this guy really training his own army? Is this possible?" Cai Zhijun was a little confused - although this is the common point of some secondary school novels, just pulling up a group of people, training them simply, and supplemented with ideological education, can form combat power in a short time, and even defeating opponents, the combat power of the army in reality is not so simple, especially the modern army. However, given Ye Ying's current state, there seems to be no choice.

Thinking of this, Cai Zhijun did not dare to delay, put on his own safety protective clothing, turned on the invisibility device, and sneaked out.

Several Xing Tians were "stand guarding" around, and various scanners were constantly scanning the area from temperature to screen, to dynamic capture.

Cai Zhijun put himself in a protective suit to isolate the heat, and then moved towards the target very slowly, for fear that the movement would be too high to attract the attention of Xing Tian robot.

Finally, with rigorous training and rich experience, he arrived at the factory gate without any danger. After another team of people entered, the moment the gate closed, he rushed into the gate with a quick step, and stood in the corner without moving.

A strong smell of blood suddenly came from the side. Cai Zhijun quickly turned around and saw that there were piles of corpses not far from the gate, some in blue work clothes and some in various shamat clothes. However, those corpses were obviously killed, with a miserable death, and some were even tortured. You could see the painful expression before death, and some were burned into charcoal and could not be separated.

Many people who had just arrived saw this scene and vomited it out. Then, under the scolding of the escort staff, they continued to walk towards the warehouse beside them.

Cai Zhijun himself has experienced too many such scenes in war-torn places, and has seen many such scenes, so he did not react. It was just that in his impression, this scene should be on the battlefields of the Middle East or Africa, and obviously should not appear in the long-standing peace of Apocalypse City.

The environment in the gate confirmed his judgment. There are now more than 1,000 people here, and they are dressed the same, all moving neatly, either walking or doing exercises. There are also several people who are giving orders waving iron sticks to command, and the whole movement looks like an army.

"Listen, train well, and any team performs well will be rewarded and everyone will have it. If someone dares to resist or try to escape, you will end up with the people there. This is the revelation of advanced civilization, and it is not something that we mortals can resist or question. You have the opportunity to serve these higher civilizations, eliminate those decadent Chinese old forces, and build our perfect society. It is your luck that you will not have this store after passing this village!"

The person on the side yelled the iron rod while scolding, and the reward he mentioned was not groundless. In the canteen on the other side, the rewarded team was eating a buffet of exquisite dishes cooked in the automatic kitchen on the dining table. The team that did not receive the reward was gnawing compressed biscuits and self-heating rations outside the canteen.

What's even more terrifying is that many people who are "training" can no longer see fear or resistance. They are more of mechanized execution and even have a feeling of enjoyment, as if they have given up escaping and have to train hard for the canteen buffet.

The newcomer was taken to the warehouse beside him by the person in charge, and seemed to be listening to some of the speeches, which might be the brainwashing of the higher civilization. When they came out, they had already changed into the blue one-piece work clothes, and some people seemed to have blood on their bodies. They were staggering, their expressions were full of hesitation and fear, but after line-up training, they soon began to integrate into this "collective atmosphere" that I don't know who started to create.

"Catch her!"

Just as Cai Zhijun was hiding in a place to observe carefully, a commotion suddenly sounded not far away. A girl didn't know if she couldn't stand this state or what was wrong. She left the team desperately and ran towards the gate. However, after a few steps, she was immediately "jointly" held down by the people around her. Then, with the permission of the leader, the people who grabbed the girl smiled and dragged the crying girl to the factory next to her. Not long after, heart-wrenching screams came from there, and there was no need to say that she knew what she was going to do.

"It's difficult for these children to return to society!" Cai Zhijun said with some regret.

As someone who has performed many tasks in war-torn areas around the world like Sun Pengyi, Cai Zhijun knows his responsibilities and will not expose himself to save a girl. He is also very familiar with this method, using the so-called "God's will", coupled with the collectivist atmosphere and the brainwashing of Stockholm syndrome, finally let these young people commit terrible atrocities and cut off their way back to society. If necessary, they may also use drugs to control it - there are some chemical factories and pharmaceutical factories in these industrial areas, and they should have raw materials that can make drugs. If the other party can control AI, it is not difficult to produce standard configurations.

This is the method of training scouts in the Middle East and Africa warlords, and they have been familiar with it for a long time, which also makes Cai Zhijun more confident about Ye Ying's identity - this set of things is also familiar to the CIA, which likes to challenge trouble in the Middle East and Africa the most.

However, Gu Hanzhi was not able to use it when defected back then because although he had weapons, he only had disadvantages. In a large number of groups with adults as the core and family units, they did not take this trick, and they would give priority to the interests of their families, making it difficult to integrate into this large group. However, most of these young people are equivalent to running away from home and lacking a sense of belonging, and many people outside have committed crimes, so it is naturally easier to integrate into this "collective". In addition, the "speaks" that are inverted black and white are probably not understood in front of illiterate African children. However, for these modern people with culture and a little romantic feelings, higher civilization, mysticism and other things may be more attractive.

Of course, just like those African Scouts, they are just the cheapest consumables. Nowadays, many people who do exercises are holding a model short knife of children's toys in their forehand, and are mechanizing "assassination training".

Cai Zhijun made a basic judgment on these people who had only undergone some temporary queue training - compared with African Scouts, they did not even have AK47 (although the equipment in the industrial zone can produce accessories for AK47 rifles and can also find relevant design and manufacturing information, they cannot build standard bullet production lines in a short time or create qualified bullets). Because they lack weapons, if he is the commander, these people will inevitably run to the attacking Chinese army with the "innocent masses" and deliberately run towards the attacking Chinese army, making these Chinese army afraid to use heavy weapons, and then deliberately enter the infantry queue on narrow streets, and then approach the use of weapons such as short swords that they carry with them to kill military personnel and create chaos. This is also the only value of these "cheap products".

Of course, there is no need to worry about whether they will attack the army like this, because as long as a small part of them do so, the military will have to open fire to maintain order in chaos. The remaining people will have no way out and will even be aroused to kill. However, in this overwhelming force, the result will not be much. At most, it will cause obstacles to the participating troops for a short period of time, as well as some psychological problems of the officers and soldiers participating in the war, or the anger of the children and their families towards the government afterwards, will have no direct impact on the direction of the entire battlefield.

Cai Zhijun looked at the battery of his safety suit and found that the battery was sufficient. Then he slowly walked towards the factory area. He decided to take this opportunity to evaluate the opponent's combat effectiveness to facilitate the next intelligence report.

Although the industrial zone is no longer within Xing Tian's surveillance area, since there is no day and night, people's daily routines are calculated according to the hours, and patrol and training personnel will pass everywhere at any time. Cai Zhijun still carefully passed through the factory and ran to the production line with his agile skills and rich lurking experience.

When watching the "Xing Tian" robots walk out of the assembly line one by one, Cai Zhijun noticed that there were no standard weapons on the weapon modules of these robots, but were equipped with three thick tubes with strange shapes that were very inconsistent with the body. There seemed to be circles of coils wrapped around it. The connection behind was connected to the body, and there was a square object similar to the ammunition bin on the side.

The newly built robots look like this, which is completely different from the standard military robots that patrolled the road before. Many robots equipped with standard weapons on the road have returned here one by one to modify, equipped with tubes surrounded by coils, and replaced the original 12.7mm high-speed aircraft and surface-to-air missiles.

Looking back on the Xingtian robots I saw along the way and in the surveillance system before - these robots obviously have no ammunition modules on the standard weapons. Cai Zhijun suddenly realized...

Inside the safe house 3 hours later

"...The enemy is making simple electromagnetic coil cannons and installing them on Xingtian robots. It is speculated that it is because there is no sufficient ammunition for standard weapons and cannot be produced, so this simple equipment can only be replaced by... "

Cai Zhijun wrote the content captured by the investigation and his own analysis in an electronic report with pictures and texts.

"Since there is no suitable material for electromagnetic gun barrels in the factory, nor is there a suitable electromagnetic gun shell, so it can only be used to synthesize a similar imitation product. Therefore, it can be determined that these electromagnetic guns are very limited in terms of power and range accuracy, but the counterfeit products made according to their principles do not pose much threat to our army's armored forces. At the same time, it can be inferred that the enemy currently lacks weapons and ammunition, and only a small part of Xing Tian still has ammunition and may have reached the bottom in previous battles. However, the impact force of Xing Tian robot itself still has certain lethality for ordinary troops, but it is impossible to hit tanks..."

After writing the last word of the entire investigation report, Cai Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at his watch again and realized that 152 hours had passed since the retreat of Apocalypse City was completed. In this environment without day and night, it was very uncomfortable. In the outside world, there were only two and a half hours. I don’t know what the next strike will be, but when the next battle begins, it will be a one-time deal - the overwhelmingly superior army directly recovered the entire Apocalypse City, and he was full of confidence in this.

Cai Zhijun picked up a familiar disc from the side and smiled knowingly - this kind of disc is the "relics of gods" he has tried his best to get back from the Tran Empire, and is also one of the components of the weapon of time.

At the location where Tianfeng crashed, the time weapons were scattered all over the ground and no one cared about it. Even the destructors were worried about radiation or explosives and so on and did not dare to get close. Various precision equipment and components in the time weapons had been broken or intentionally destroyed by Cai Zhijun. In case he took away the two relics of the gods, he ensured that the enemy could no longer assemble this perverted weapon. However, with the precision of the time weapons and the special nature of the consumables required, they were unlikely to assemble them, that is, they had no more weapons in their hands.

After confirming the situation outside through the monitor, Cai Zhijun leisurely sat on the bed beside him and opened a shredded rice noodles with individual soldiers' self-heating rations and a canned lunch meat, and was planning to have a nice meal... Judging from the time of the watch, it should be a midnight snack now.

An emergency call suddenly came from a dedicated quantum encryption channel on Cai Zhijun's personal computer:

"This is the air battleship Jupiter, this is the air battleship Jupiter, calling submarine x, calling submarine x! Report the situation! Report the situation!"

Cai Zhijun was shocked and hurriedly put down his lunch, jumped to the table, and began to use encrypted quantum communication to directly transmit his evaluation report.

The air warship began to appear in the air. Cai Zhijun's mind changed and he had already understood the ideas of his superiors and agreed with it. However, he was very familiar with this voice - Zhao Yi, the commander of the 709th Brigade, which made him a little nervous, but obviously he was also the best candidate for this mission.

"Thank you very much, submarine x, our army is about to launch an attack. Is there anything to explain?"

Zhao Yi's words made him feel a little uncontrollable - after all, the conflict between the 709th Brigade and the 2028 unit has a long history. Although he has remained low-key for a long time, as the second-in-command of the 2028 unit, the other party cannot not know him. It seems impolite to just use text to enter. Thinking of this, in order to make things trouble, he turned on the voice change software and deliberately changed his tone and said:

"Chief, please pay special attention to the local 'innocent masses' and try not to contact and avoid unnecessary casualties. If you must contact, please ensure that you are under protective imprisonment after the contact is controlled."

Zhao Yi's laughing answer came from the other side of the microphone:

"Thank you, Comrade Cai Zhijun, be careful of safety, and by the way, say hello to your commander Captain Sun Pengyi. Everyone is for the country! Don't worry!"

Cai Zhijun wiped the sweat from his head, and had already held the anti-equipment sniper rifle on his side, turned off the voice change system, and said seriously in his own voice:

"Deputy Minister Zhao, I have shared all the connections of the ground monitoring system with you, and accept your orders at any time and cooperate with the action on the ground!"

At the same time, the chassis of the air warship Jupiter had just passed through the area of ​​time fog, and its huge body brought a large shadow even in the city without sunlight, covering the self-luminousness of time fog. The turrets around the warship were also moving to find their own targets.

"The surveillance screen has been received, the connection is normal. Please stand by the submarine x to be on standby and pay attention to safety!"

On the bridge, Zhao Yi quickly browsed the information sent by Cai Zhijun and ordered. When he saw that the time weapon stated in the information had been deposed, he couldn't help but be happy.

Then he handed over the information to a driver next to him:

"Come back to the headquarters immediately by helicopter and hand over the information to them."

"yes!"

The driver immediately turned around and ran towards the apron at the tail of the battleship.

"Chief, the radar discovered the target, and a large number of Xingtian robots were wandering in the city. Some of them entered the edge and were shooting out."

The radar soldier turned on the three-dimensional projection and saw Xingtian robots on the ground wandering between the city buildings like ants, trying to get as close as possible to the buildings. It was obviously relying on these buildings so that the Jupiter's artillery bombardment would not dare to fire. Some even went to the edge of the Southern Time Fog to open fire - obviously blind shooting, hoping to cause some casualties to the Chinese army outside.

"They want us to be afraid of the mouse, but unfortunately this is only at the level of pediatrics." Zhao Yi sneered: "Who taught Ye Ying's strategy and tactics during the 709th Brigade? He should be given a medal and fired by the way!"

Wu Zuren and a group of old team members turned their heads to look at Zhao Yi, and then answered in unison with different expressions:

"It's you!"

"Cough cough!" Zhao Yi coughed twice as he pretended to be calm, and then issued an order:

"He wanted to fight with me all over the city and attract me to the south to eliminate those firepower points, so I didn't bother to pay attention to him. The whole ship drove into the industrial zone and went straight to Huanglong. He educated me well this unfilial person who didn't listen to the class well!"

"yes!"

The officers began to take their place with smiles on their faces.

The huge aerial warship drove towards the industrial zone, and the steel body attacked like a mountain of taiwan.

Tianqi City Industrial Zone

Ye Ying opened his eyes and looked at the huge warship flying from the sky through the screen beside him. He clenched his fists with his hands and gritted his teeth, and seemed to be trembling all over his body - the Chinese army was coming too fast, and it was the air warship that led by this kind of air warship. He thought that with his own affairs and Yu Xinning, the autonomous region government would refuse the 709th Brigade's participation in the warship or allow it to be investigated, but he did not expect that the 709th Brigade's warship would be launched.

Around him, these men have achieved the results of these days, "collected firearms!", including 3 old 95 rifles, 2 Type 33 assault rifles, 6 Type 40 pistols, 250 rifle bullets, and 60 pistol bullets - not enough to equip a squad.

The young people who were "training" on the playground, looking at the slowly approaching air warships and the densely packed artillery, were already scared to death, standing there blankly, looking at the short sword that had just been sent to their hands, and then looking up at the air warship full of violent aesthetics, without moving.

"This is an ultimatum. Ye Ying, Yu Xinning and your accomplices, immediately put down your weapons and surrender, immediately put down your weapons and surrender, I promise you will have a fair judgment."

Zhao Yi's majestic voice was transmitted from the air broadcast and cosmic energy crystals to the ears of everyone in the industrial zone at the same time.

It seemed that he was worried that language alone was not enough. A 155mm howitzer on the side of the warship suddenly fired, hitting a tall tower in the industrial area, and immediately blew the tower down. It showed that the warship would not throw itself into danger because of fear of the city being destroyed. Anyway, Zhao Yi expressed with confidence that many buildings had collapsed, and the 709th Brigade helped repair it, at most, the industrial area was rebuilt. Anyway, the main buildings in this industrial area were basically built by the 709th Brigade.

Those young people who were "brainwashed" had never heard the sound of the 155mm howitzer explosion at close range, and they didn't know who led the head. They began to instinctively climb over the door and run out, allowing the manager to wave the iron rod to maintain order, but they could not control it. Countless people died of stampede in this crazy escape, and more people opened the door desperately, trying to escape. The Xingtian robot at the door immediately rushed out and crushed many people in succession, but could not suppress this trend of escape.

"You're finished!"

Zhao Yi's short and cold voice appeared in Ye Ying's ears...
Chapter completed!
