Undisclosed Negotiations Under Chapter Twenty-Four
Alarms were blaring in the fortress, and the four medium-sized coastal defense guns on both sides of the gate were already aimed at the torpedo boats that were about to dock.
Under Bossen's command, the other soldiers were in their respective positions, holding grenade launchers and RPGs aimed at the shore. With Bossen's order, they could instantly destroy the torpedo boats.
In the central control room, Tang Shuxing stared at the screen, while Gu Yan looked at Dong Sanlu's back. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with this old man, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Dong Sanlu kept asking his men to adjust the picture in front, and at the same time warned others to check the cameras all over the island in a loop. He was worried that the pirates would use the torpedo boats as bait, but in fact they just wanted to sneak in.
"It has been at least five years since you came to this island." Tang Shuxing suddenly said. Dong Sanlu said "hmm" in front of him, still looking at the screen with concentration.
"It's been almost five years since the pirates came here." Tang Shuxing said again. At this time, Dong Sanlu's eyes left the screen, looked back at Tang Shuxing slightly, and said "hmm" again.
Gu Yan already knew what Tang Shuxing was going to say. Now that Bo Sen is not here, maybe this is a good opportunity for him and Dong Sanlu to explain many things clearly. Dong Sanlu finally turned the wheelchair, faced Tang Shuxing, and then controlled
He left in the wheelchair and walked outside. After Dong Sanlu left, Tang Shuxing glanced at Gu Yan and motioned for him to keep an eye on him, and then he walked out of the central control room.
After leaving the central control room, Tang Shuxing saw Dong Sanlu heading directly towards the corridor of the room where he lived. He slowly followed him, and then Dong Sanlu reached his room. Tang Shuxing stood at the entrance of the room, looking at
Dong Sanlu looked at himself in the middle, and then said: "Close the door."
Tang Shuxing entered the room and closed the door. Dong Sanlu said calmly: "What else do you want to say? Just say it."
"You arrived here five years ago. You worked hard to get to this place. There were other people who came with you. Some of them you knew and some you didn't. But then everyone dispersed. After you came, you had no one but yourself.
In addition to those who came, you also took in a group of soldiers from the defeated Asian and European troops and came to this island to hold on." Tang Shuxing leaned against the door and analyzed, "In half a year or a year, inside this fortress,
outside
Many people froze to death and starved to death, it was miserable. But if you are still alive, others will definitely be curious and some will come to you for help. But you did not take them in, you just gave them some food and let them go.
Then the news kept coming that there was food and drink here, and people kept coming to the door, but you still didn't take those people in. Then the begging turned into an attack, but it's a pity that they couldn't break into the fortress."
"In a harsh environment, a group of people will attack another group of people. The reason is very simple, because the group of people being attacked live a better life than the attackers. They have enough food and clothing, eat and sleep well, and the others are greedy. This
That's the reason for the attack." Tang Shuxing leaned on the door and continued, "But this place is so big, but you don't take other people in, why?"
Dong Sanlu still looked at Tang Shuxing calmly, and Tang Shuxing smiled at him and said: "Yes, why? Why can you go out to hunt polar bears and fish and survive, but why can't others?
?Why should everyone else just plunder?Arctic Circle
How many polar bears are there? How many seals and other animals are there? How many people are there now? With so many people hunting together, there probably aren’t many living animals outside the Arctic Circle, right? It’s been 5 years, and you are still living well, don’t talk about the outside world.
I feel weird about this person.”…
"Tang Shuxing, I will ask my men to help you find that woman, and then you will leave here." Dong Sanlu said coldly.
Tang Shuxing nodded: "Okay, but I have to tell you, as long as we leave here, you may be attacked by Chi Chen immediately. You know Zhan Tianya very well, and Chi Chen's current strength may not even be able to deal with Shang.
, but it is easy to capture this fortress. I am the one who can protect you. I know you hate Zhan Tianya, but Zhan Tianya is the nemesis of you magicians, don’t you count?"
Dong Sanlu closed his eyes and said, "Tang Shuxing, what do you want?"
"The secrets in this base, everything, because I have to know whether the secrets here are related to what I am investigating." Tang Shuxing's tone also became lower.
Dong Sanlu opened his eyes and looked at him with half-squinted eyes: "What are you investigating?"
"About Shangdu, about ancient humans, about everything." Tang Shuxing turned around and opened the door after speaking, "Dong Sanlu, Master Dong, think about it carefully. There are only a hundred people left in your entire fortress, and they are all ordinary people. For
As far as I'm concerned, they are worse than mice, and I don't want to use force to resolve this matter."
"Tang Shuxing!" Dong Sanlu suddenly stopped him, "Some things are different from what you imagined."
"I never imagine. Imagination is based on nothing. I always speculate. Seeing is believing and there is evidence." Tang Shuxing stopped at the door and then left.
Dong Sanlu stopped there, watching Tang Shuxing leave. After waiting for the sound of Tang Shuxing's footsteps to disappear, Dong Sanlu pressed the button on the intercom on the armrest and said to Bo Sen at the other end: "Your
The secret, Tang Shuxing has discovered."
Berson, who was watching the torpedo boat closely in the outer fortress, was silent for a long time. He walked to the corner alone and whispered: "Sooner or later, it is impossible for a shrewd person like him not to discover this."
."
"He seems to have other requirements." Dong Sanlu said again.
Boson asked: "What request?"
Dong Sanlu said: "He wants to know everything, but I personally feel that he needs to win over us and need us to be his backup. To be precise, he needs our satellite."
Bosen smiled and said, "Are you willing to give it to him?"
"I can't do it even if I don't want to. He said that as long as he leaves, Chichen will attack here. What he said makes sense. Zhan Tianya asked them to come here, which means that Zhan Tianya knows our existence, maybe he doesn't know that I am here.
, but you know what’s here, don’t forget, Zhan Tianya
He also has an intelligence background." Dong Sanlu said calmly, "I also believe that Zhan Tianya can capture this place with more sophisticated means. We can't do anything to him, so at this point, I would rather choose to fight with Tang Shuxing.
Trade, and don’t want to become Zhan Tianya’s prisoner.”
Bosen immediately retorted: "Sir, I don't want to believe in Tang Shuxing, let alone Zhan Tianya. I only believe in you and myself. If we can't make the decision in this place, then in the next step, we will only die!"
"
"You have a grudge against Tang Shuxing. It's reasonable for you to say this, but I still hope you don't do this." Dong Sanlu persuaded, "You should think about it carefully. I will temporarily delay Tang Shuxing."
It’s a torture.”
"Okay." Bosen turned off the communication and looked at the torpedo boat outside.
The torpedo boat has docked, but there is still no movement on the ship, no one appears, and the engine is shut down. However, according to Boson's previous observations, it seems that the torpedo boat can dock not by the engine, but by something else pushing it.
Once on shore, nothing but large underwater animals can do the trick.
"General, I think we shouldn't take the risk and just blow up the torpedo boat and sink it?" an officer next to him whispered.
Boson shook his head: "Our ammunition is limited, and the ammunition for coastal defense guns is even more limited, and many shells cannot be used, so we save what we can."
The officer stared outside and said, "But I always feel that something is wrong. It's too unusual."
"Listen, everyone, don't fire without my order, save ammunition, and don't fire hastily even if you see pirates appearing. The torpedo boats also have heavy artillery, which will pose a certain threat to us. If they fire..." Berson
Just as I was talking about this, I suddenly saw the gun barrel on the torpedo boat twisting and then pointing towards the shore.
"Don't fire, everyone! Don't be afraid! There is only one small-caliber gun on the torpedo boat! Hold on!" Bosen said, ducking to one side and observing carefully, and continued to calm the emotions of the others. "At best, the torpedo boat can hold less than
30 people, 30 people will never be able to break through our defenses, calm down! Calm down!"
This group of soldiers who experienced the battle with Shang Du many years ago have long been tired of war. Now they are basically just waiting to die. If it weren't for the food and drink here, I'm afraid they would have become pirates long ago.
Boson needed to be calm. In fact, everyone was extremely calm, which could be said to be loose. Except for a few slightly responsible officers, everyone else just looked at the torpedo boat with a lazy look.
Pirates also attacked here in the early years, but they did not fight back many times. After the pirates could not break through the gate, they had to turn around and leave in order not to waste ammunition, so the soldiers were not worried about pirate attacks.
"Bang -" the only cannon on the torpedo boat fired. Everyone in the outer fortress squatted down subconsciously, but the explosion they heard next was not loud. When they stood up and looked down, they found that the cannonball had fallen.
At a certain location on the shore, a huge plume of smoke then rose.
"Smoke bombs?" Boson frowned, "What do they want to do?"
Immediately afterwards, the torpedo boat fired smoke grenades in all directions. At this time, Boson immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Everyone with a thermal imager, put it on, hurry up! They should take advantage of the cover of the smoke to reach us.
Under the fortress, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
After Bosen's order was issued, many soldiers from the former Eurasian troops who still had thermal imaging cameras put them on in a hurry, and then cautiously poked their heads out to look into the smoke, but they did not see anything in it.
At this time, all the smoke had been blown away by the sea breeze. Bosen raised his telescope and looked, and found countless messy footprints in the snow, but he did not see anything.
"What the hell!?" Bosen put down the telescope and said to himself.
