Chapter 1433 Gathering peoples hearts and increasing the scale!
Loud rumbling noises occurred one after another.
The dazzling flames steamed back and forth on the top of the mountain.
Occasionally there were one or two gunshots, which were extremely faint and disappeared quickly as soon as they started.
All the guards turned their heads and looked in the direction of the village with shock on their faces, not knowing what was going on.
"Go back and clean up the battlefield."
Sumo lowered his head and looked at the people being held captive on the ground, especially the thin man who said he would lead the way.
At this time, the man seemed to be frightened and was shaking all over.
Obviously, this explosion was not as powerful as the weapons exchanged by the Stone Gang from the store.
Rather.
Boulder territory!
After a while.
The guards who had just set off down the mountain walked back along the mountain road.
There were still a few hundred meters away from the village gate, and a strong pungent smell of blood mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke came out, and there was also a faint smell of burning.
Looking ahead, the road up the mountain was scorched black, with several obvious potholes and charred flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
Occasionally, a few wounded people who were only affected by the explosion were lying on both sides of the road wailing.
Is this a punishment from God?
Lou Zhigang stared at this scene in a daze, breathing heavily, and his peripheral vision was fixed on Sumo's face.
This is not a weapon that the Boulder Territory can possess.
Absolutely not!
"Boss Ji"
A group of guards gathered around and were extremely shocked. They were shocked by this Shura scene, but also horrified by the fragility of human beings.
There were a few people with slightly worse mental qualities who couldn't help but go to the open space next to them and started retching.
The village gate opens.
Luo Xiang rushed out excitedly carrying the RPG, looking like he hadn't had enough fun yet.
"Cousin, after everything was cleaned up, I fired seven rounds and these people surrendered!"
Without beating?
Surrendered?
Somo turned around and looked kindly at the Niu brothers who were slowly retreating, as well as a few young men lying limply on the ground not far away.
Even among the survivors who have fought hard in the wasteland, few can withstand such a hellish scene.
"Can you guys help me? I don't know who is in charge of the Stone Gang. Can you help me find him?"
???
Niu Dan swallowed, his scalp numb.
Niu Shuang stopped retreating, his calves seemed to be shaking.
Not to mention the rest, a few people were so frightened that they wet their pants and didn't dare to move.
"What, do you need me to say it a second time?"
Wow.
The group of people who were hesitant just now nodded involuntarily and rushed to the side with staggering legs.
Shi Sheng, the leader of the Stone Gang, was found first.
This guy stood out in the crowd at first, and Luo Xiang didn't even think about it.
After being hit by the rocket's aftermath, Shi Sheng was still "complete".
Although the lower half of the body was blown to nowhere, only one-third of the body was left connected to the head, so it was not difficult to identify it.
On his scorched face, Niu Dan saw a trace of fear that had not faded away.
Apparently, the scene he saw before he died was something he still couldn't understand until his death.
The deputy gang leader Huang Wenzhao was also found. Compared to Shi Sheng, he only had one arm blown off and was lying on the ground wailing.
Bang.
Sumo took out his pistol and fired without looking.
The bullet penetrated the hard skull, leaving a bloody hole the size of a bowl. Huang Wenzhao was put to an end of pain before he even had time to cry.
"Well, since the leader is dead, it seems that there is no need to worry about other people in the Stone Gang having any ideas."
He clapped his hands, smiled and motioned to the guards to move the body down.
Then he turned around and looked at the trembling Niu brothers and the young men who followed them.
"Thank you very much. If it hadn't been for your help, it would have taken some time to find these two people. No, I have to thank you for coming here to remind us, otherwise we wouldn't have discovered them and they would have been stuck at this time for a sneak attack."
The ordinary middle-aged man smiled. No one felt friendly, but rather cold.
Niu Dan swallowed his saliva and immediately stepped forward and bowed:
"Mr. Ji is joking. We were confused before. Now please give us a chance to make meritorious deeds!"
"Do you deserve meritorious service?" Su Mo quickly shook his head: "Brother Niu is a bit exaggerated. In the wasteland, we humans should stick together for warmth. I am also very happy that you can join in time."
"However, if we can enter the territory now, we still have to ask our Lord Zhang what he wants. I can't make up my mind."
Now was indeed the best opportunity to win over the Stone Village at the foot of the mountain. In a few words, Sumo left the matter to Lao Zhang.
When the big bald man came out of the village gate with a smile on his face, he pursed his lips, took the guards who had originally made the foreign deal, and walked back to the foot of the mountain.
Without the constraints of rules, it is not surprising that humans can do anything after unlocking their inner desires.
Right now, it's just an ordinary episode in the wasteland.
"Lord Zhang, it was our fault before, but now we are willing to join the Boulder Territory unconditionally."
After watching in amazement as Su Mo led the others away, Niu Dandan greeted Lao Zhang with a bitter look on his face and spoke in a low voice.
The current situation in Stone Village is not as bad as the person said before.
It's still possible to stay, and the threat is controllable.
Although the Stone Gang did capture some people and turn them into infected bodies to earn rewards, these people were not innocent. They were evildoers who actively tried to infect living people first.
At the moment, the reason why they set their sights on the Boulder Territory is because the information that has been revealed on the World Channel shows how huge the benefits will be from establishing the territory.
They all resist the invasion and attack of infected bodies in the same way, and the rewards received by the territory are almost ten times that of individual people.
And the risks faced are relatively small, just like the boulder territory, it can be defended according to danger.
When he thought that the gap between the two sides would get bigger and bigger in the future, Shi Sheng became bold and led his people to plan to occupy the dove's nest.
only.
What a pity.
They never thought that the firepower of the Boulder Territory with only more than 200 people could be so terrifying.
The defensive capabilities here are definitely no worse than those in the ten thousand territory, and it has the potential to become bigger and stronger.
So now, no matter how many grievances they have, the Niu brothers plan to join decisively.
"You can leave any dirty work to us. We are also people who can endure hardships."
Niu Dan had already thought about what he was going to do next and was ridiculed by Lao Zhang. He first used his previous stage to make a big fuss.
However, what was surprising was that Lao Zhang patted his shoulder with a smile on his face.
"Actually, you should have come a long time ago, but it's not too late now. Once you come, we will become a family."
"ah?"
Lao Zhang's kind attitude not only made the Niu brothers feel anxious, but also made others feel a little at a loss.
"Don't blame me before."
"What's the matter? I've been through this process as well. Of course I know what you're thinking." Lao Zhang shook his head nonchalantly. He was telling the truth.
For ordinary survivors, the error tolerance rate is too small, and one wrong step may cost them their lives.
The reason why he could firmly follow Sumo was not because he was more decisive than Niu Dan, but because he had witnessed with his own eyes Sumo's thunderbolt methods that were far beyond ordinary people.
"But I have to make something clear in advance. After joining the territory, don't think about anything else. If you still have other ideas with people like the Stone Gang, don't blame me, Lao Zhang, for being cruel."
"We understand, we understand!"
Niu Dan nodded like a fool, and quickly winked at the group of people behind him.
There was no need for the guards to be busy, and the young man who followed up the mountain took the initiative to take on the responsibility of closing the battlefield.
soon.
All the people who were killed in the bombing were pushed on small carts and transported to the foot of the mountain to dig pits and bury them to prevent the spread of the plague.
For some seriously injured people who were difficult to treat, Niu Dan originally wanted to suggest whether they should become infected bodies to receive wave rewards, but after meeting Lao Zhang's serious eyes, he did not dare to ask any more.
"This is the bottom line for us as human beings. If you do it secretly, you are lucky to not be discovered, but if you are discovered, you know the consequences."
If there is a first time, there will be a second time.
Using living people to get rewards is like opening Pandora's box. Once you encounter a dilemma, you will think about it involuntarily.
Lao Zhang naturally knew the consequences of doing this, so he didn't need to be reminded by Su Mo and just expressed his attitude first.
Suddenly, the young men shrank their heads and did not dare to have any more ideas.
The guards, who had just had some thoughts, quickly waved their hands and swept their thoughts out of their minds.
The territory is now on the right track of development, and there is no point in doing evil things.
The infected bodies that are regularly spawned outside the territory cannot be killed, so there is no time to catch people and infect them.
Furthermore, what should I do if I am discovered by the golden giant eagle?
In most people's perception, the three major territories would definitely disdain to do this kind of thing, nor would they sit back and watch this kind of thing develop around the territories.
After cleaning the battlefield, some of the people who had minor injuries and could be cured, as well as those who had just come to pretend to surrender, were all tied up.
There were more than twenty people in total, and all of them looked terrified, fearing that they would be turned into infected bodies and used to earn rewards.
Lao Zhang winked, and Niu Dan immediately understood, stepped forward and said loudly:
"Lord Zhang, these people who came to pretend to surrender are also poor people. Their families were taken as hostages by Shi Sheng. See if there are no serious consequences, can you spare their lives?"
"If there are no consequences, can we pretend that nothing happened? How can such a good thing happen in the world?"
Lao Zhang said seriously, "Even if I agree, will the brothers behind me agree?"
"this"
Niu Dan hesitated for a moment, "Now that we are short of manpower for the development of Jushi Territory, is it okay to leave them alive to serve their crimes?"
"Dedicate one's crime to meritorious deeds?"
Sing and harmonize.
The prisoners on the ground were scared to death, and when they heard that they had a chance to survive, they all shouted.
"Boss Zhang, please spare us, we can do anything, I just ask you to spare our lives!"
"Lord Zhang, you have a kind heart. We were also deceived by Shi Sheng. Please forgive us. We are willing to atone for our sins with actions."
"Give me a bite to eat and I'll do whatever you want me to do."
"Yes, yes, I can work. I dig rocks very quickly!"
No one wants to die if there is a possibility of survival.
Niu Dan continued to add at the right time, "Lord Zhang, if that's not possible, please give these people an observation period. If they can really work hard, stay, otherwise they can be killed when the time comes."
"this"
Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.
"Since Niu Dan said so, I am not an unreasonable person. Since you are all bewitched by Shi Sheng, I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds."
"Thank you, Brother Niu!"
"Thank you, Lord Zhang!"
A group of people immediately kowtowed gratefully, without even the slightest thought of luck.
The lives of people in the wasteland are worthless. Even if they die, there will be no one to avenge them.
No matter whether you are serving a crime or becoming a slave, as long as you can survive, there is still hope.
"Send the injured people down for treatment first."
Lao Zhang nodded with satisfaction and sent someone to carry the injured person on a stretcher to an empty stone house in the territory.
The importance of population is self-evident now.
These people are still young and strong, and they are the best labor force. It just so happens that the Boulder territory will continue to expand in the future.
There is no shortage of medicines in Jushi now, and he doesn't feel bad at all if he uses them for these people.
"Niu Dan, you are a smart man. I hope I saw you right."
After giving all the instructions, Lao Zhang came back with an unfathomable look in his eyes.
At some point, he felt that Niudan's personality was very similar to his own.
It's the kind that's as sure as hell when it's steady, but it's as bold as if it's crazy when it's wavering.
At first, when he was looking for someone in the village to lead the way up the mountain, after searching all around, only Niudan had the courage to take the order.
Even now, the young people still alive in Stone Village at the foot of the mountain are waiting for the outcome of the battle between the Boulder Territory and the Stone Gang.
Only the Niu family brothers dared to take people up the mountain to remind them.
This is the courage that ordinary people do not have, and it is also one of the potentials that must be possessed to rise.
"Lord Zhang, I won't say more. Just watch my performance."
Niu Dan sniffed, replied in a deep voice, opened the game panel and submitted the application to join the territory.
When the reminder to join the boulder territory flashed on the panel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what happens next, at least now I have a place to stay.
After entering the village gate.
Everyone looked curiously at this familiar yet unfamiliar place.
They had visited this platform countless times when they were exploring the terrain before. Now, after some construction, the desolate look of that time has completely disappeared.
The smoke rises from the stone houses, bringing with it a hint of calm smoke and smoke that is hard to find in the outside world.
The ground is flat and paved with a layer of bricks and soil. It is soft and soft, not like being on a rocky mountain at all.
Horizontal and vertical drainage channels have also taken shape, and more than a dozen women are carrying burdens and pickaxes to build them according to the drawings.
It's just that most of the stones in Stone Mountain are hard and difficult to dig. A group of people were sweating profusely, and the progress was still extremely slow.
"Let us come, we have the strength!"
When joining a new territory in the wasteland, the best way to integrate is to work and prove your worth.
A group of women wanted to refuse, but when they saw that the people coming were all strong young men, they followed them.
Sure enough, compared to their slow digging speed before, Niu Dan's young and strong speed was simply frighteningly fast.
In the past three or four hours before noon, a main drainage channel had been successfully dug!
"Boys, come here and have a drink!"
"Dinner will be served soon. Come and have a rest first, otherwise you will have diarrhea soon."
"You are still very strong. We have been digging for seven or eight days, and we have only been able to dig out three roads."
"Hey, if you can help me in any way, just ask!"
Although I was very tired, the warm atmosphere made people feel warm in my heart.
Niu Dan raised his head, wiped the hot sweat from his head, and couldn't help but feel glad that he didn't make the wrong choice this time.
Everyone else had the same idea until lunch was served
"It's meat. There is meat in the work meal!"
"Oh my god, this soup is too thick, and there are pancakes, am I not dreaming?"
"Uh, uh, it's so delicious, it tastes so fragrant!"
When exchanging supplies from the store yesterday, Lao Zhang, at Sumo's suggestion, specially exchanged them for some meat.
It has undoubtedly come in handy now, and a group of young people who have just joined the territory are almost anxious.
By the afternoon.
A group of people were very motivated. After digging the drainage channel, they took turns going down the mountain to collect water, cut firewood, and build defense facilities. The construction speed of the boulder territory suddenly increased several times.
However, Lao Zhang was obviously a little absent-minded. At noon, he was still thinking about going over to check the results, and he would go to the mountain road to see if there was anything going on in the afternoon.
"Why haven't you come back yet? It's almost dark!"
Standing on the watchtower at the gate of the village, Lao Zhang was sweating anxiously.
He was thinking wildly in his mind. One moment he thought about whether the infected body had attacked the team, and the next moment he thought about whether the surrounding territories were trying to conquer the enemy.
In the evening, dusk is approaching.
Just when Lao Zhang had lost count of how many times he had gone down the mountain to look, a loud noise finally came from the foot of the mountain.
He hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked at the foot of the mountain.
Only seen.
Heads, densely packed heads.
There were at least three to four hundred people, and among them were more than thirty trucks, all of which were filled with supplies!
