"Ahem, don't tell the truth...I mean, pay attention to the impact. It's in public, save some face for other people."
Under the current general trend, decentralized operations are not a good thing.
In the past, the camps of the Dongguo people were spread out widely, with small and medium-sized independent hunting teams and camps everywhere for the purpose of reclaiming land and reclaiming wasteland.
Only by casting a wide net will it be easier to make a lot of money.
When no one knows where the treasure mine is, only by digging around can it be possible to harvest more... Of course, the more important thing is that what the independent small team eats is their own, and each of them "searches" to gain more.
More motivation.
But in a war, it is basically taboo to disperse your troops. Your opponent will not stop attacking you just because you have fewer people. On the contrary, it is a basic strategic common sense to eat the weak ones first.
Naturally, scattered small and medium-sized teams have become the hardest hit.
Even after the radio is restored, the lucky small team can quickly gather together, find advantageous terrain, and build a temporary safe house... The unlucky ones, who are isolated and helpless, can only grit their teeth and continue to suffer, looking forward to waiting.
Reinforcements.
"...Finally, until you guys come."
During the journey of Lu Ping An's impromptu convoy, the two sentences that I heard the most were often this.
In the long dark night, all they can do is huddle together to keep warm, and then hope for a miracle to happen.
After all, there is no essential difference between a team of three or five people and a camp of more than a dozen people in the hunting of the Aussies. It is nothing more than a round of raids or a little serious handling.
Not everyone is a pure warrior. On the contrary, because they know the basic situation of this world, many exploration teams have brought various logistics and researchers. Lu Ping'an's team is not a special case. Most of them come here for wealth and development.
of.
But now, the victim can only pray that he is not the one who is found, that the reinforcements can find him earlier than the Ossians... Most of the time, due to the existence of the Ossians' aerial cavalry, this kind of prayer ends
will be meaningless.
"Why are you here! If you had come earlier..."
This was the second sentence that Lu Ping'an and his party heard the most.
They were miserable, much worse than Lu Pingping had imagined before.
The wounded had many disabilities. After they lost their ability to resist, the twins of hunger and disease did not forget them.
Several times, when I walked into a cave despite the stench, I could find corpses and wounded people with despairing faces.
They were lucky because they were still able to complain and didn't have to be visited by the Aussies first like most camps.
".......Feel sorry."
At first, the rescuers would argue a few words, because not long ago they were essentially civilians, and they were also the unlucky ones who worked hard until dawn.
But, it's too miserable, it's really too miserable...
"...My daughter, I took her to see the market. I thought it was a peaceful and beautiful new world..."
"Alan, those beasts..."
"There are ten of us here, and I'm the only two left..."
Justification? Forget it, they were just looking for a reason to vent.
When the silent rescuer agrees to the resentment that even the complainer feels has no reason, after a brief period of confusion, joy, rage, fear, and self-blame, there is often only an unlucky guy left crying softly.
"Why me......"
"I just want to live, I'm a coward..."
"am I wrong?"
The Os people are experienced and cruel hunters. They are not in the habit of forcing their prey into a dead end... Wouldn't it be better to collect most of the prey and then wait for the fugitives to die painfully in despair?
.
Just like they played with the Red Star people back then, the victims this time were not fundamentally different from before.
The only obvious difference is probably that the Dongguo people's unique awareness of "I should help" and "the official should rescue the people" has made many people have mixed emotions and recognize this "resentment" that should not be their responsibility.
Is it the natural duty of the country to rescue its people? That is not necessarily true. At least in many countries around the world and at many points in time, what the people affected by disasters fear most is their own officers and soldiers.
But the Dongguo people are not like this. When they encounter difficulties, the first thing they think about is that their own people can save them and will come to save them.
The world has changed, but some things have not.
This far-fetched complaint may also be because they were full of hope before.
Even their rationality tells them that this is a foreign land thousands of miles away, and even if there is rescue, they will not be able to come.
Even they themselves knew that not only were they unlucky, but the local military and officials were also attacked, and it might even be worse than themselves.
Don't they know that under the current system, it is normal that there will be no reinforcements at all? No one is stupid, but in times of despair, everyone will have hope.
The sound of "finally here" is hope, expectation, trust, joy, and painful self-blame.
The pain itself is too weak, the pain itself is too naive, and the pain itself can only wait for rescue.
The sound of "Why did you come?" is trust, joy, despair, and the torment of looking forward to hope in a desperate situation.
But in the end, all the emotions turned into one sentence...
"revenge."
"Revenge! We want revenge!"
"Those Os people are too much, my wife... I want them to die!"
".....I have nothing left...."
After the incompetent rage, there is self-pity, and going further, there is only piercing hatred.
Blood revenge, once dismissed as a traditional concept of illegal rule, has once again become the only thought.
Don't talk about legal justice with these people who have just lost everything. If they slap you in the face, it's considered friendly, and if they directly go under the knife, it's normal.
"Okay, let's take revenge."
Lu Pingan smiled and agreed.
As the "Big Three", his thoughts may also mean that from this moment on, the two sides will never stop fighting.
"...Maybe we have some misunderstandings and we can provide a certain degree of compensation. In your words, put aside the dispute and develop together."
The Hod Company of the Aussies is a business group, and businessmen are always seeking profits.
When they determine that the income may be far less than the expenditure, and when they calculate that there may be huge losses in the future, they will change their arrogant and unreasonable behavior and become extremely "gentleman" and "civilized".
The messenger, a well-dressed blond man from Oslo, came over.
He said he was looking for the manager and was brought to Lu Ping'an.
There were only two people in a separate room. Lu Pingan was unusually kind and looked at him with a smile.
Perhaps it was the boy's friendliness and smile that gave the messenger the courage to directly express his private wishes.
"We have always been profit-seekers. Since we have proven each other's strength, why continue this useless dispute of will... If you can agree to this 'settlement' agreement, our company can give you 200 million Australian dollars,
It also comes with a villa in Oslo. If you are willing, you can work in our company, with an annual salary starting at one million."
The messenger smiled, as if he had already seen the answer.
"Don't get me wrong, this is not a private transaction, it is just our improper behavior, our 'compensation' for you, it is legal and compliant and will not be included in any written records..."
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an also smiled. These guys are just the same as always and will never change...
"This is compensation for me. So, what about the other victims? Where are the dead?" Lu Pingan squinted and asked with a smile.
"...They can try transnational litigation. Of course, it is difficult to prove and apply the law. Our company also has the best team of lawyers in Oslo. It would be too easy to drag it out for thirty years...
.You know."
Seeing Lu Pingan's interested expression, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief.
"This move will work every time even if it goes to the outer realm. Two hundred million? I'm just dreaming. When I get back...ah!"
And his head suddenly felt a sharp pain.
"boom!"
A big hole was knocked out of the car window, and a silver metal arm pulled the messenger's head and hung it in the air.
"...This guy wants to talk about reconciliation, what do you think we should do?"
A pair of eyes turned over and looked at the Osman who was hanging in the air, their bloodshot eyes full of hatred.
The two children, who were either calm, angry, or deliberately repressed, stared at him.
Lu Pingan, who was smiling, pressed a button, and the car radio suddenly played the voice of the messenger just now.
[...If you can agree to this 'settlement' agreement, our company can give you 200 million Australian dollars, plus a villa in Oslo...]
Lu Pingan laughed and seemed to find it very interesting.
"Oh, I didn't expect that I could be worth 200 million. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity, this blood debt..."
"Kacha."
Lu Ping'an gently closed his fingers, and the man's head burst like a watermelon.
"...It can only be repaid with blood."
At this time, the recording is still continuing.
[...They can try transnational litigation. Of course, it will be difficult to prove and apply the law. Our company also has the best team of lawyers in Oslo, and it will take thirty years...]
From beginning to end, Lu Ping'an's smile remained unchanged.
He looked at the pairs of eyes that were either surprised, happy or disbelieving, and said with a smile.
"From now on, whoever dares to say that I am reconciled, I will tacitly admit that he has taken the dirty things of the Os people..."
After casually throwing the headless body into the car, the young man wiped his hands as if they were dirty.
"...Those who have ideas can try it. The trial requires evidence..."
