Chapter 174 Ranping
The top floor of the building where the "Ah Fu Gun Shop" is located.
Bai Chen placed the "Orange" rifle on the edge of the rooftop and shot down in a more awkward position.
Bang!
In the group of wilderness wanderers who tried to hit the barrier at the entrance to the yard, one person fell on his back, blood flowing profusely.
Bai Chen was not greedy for credit, and immediately retracted his body, avoiding the subconscious counterattack of the group of people.
After a wave of random shooting, this group of wilderness wanderers who had lost their leader and command could only retreat quite chaotically and run to different places because the firepower inside the courtyard was still quite abundant.
Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene, quickly checked the condition of her firearm, and filled it with bullets.
This is a rifle he borrowed from the owner of the "Ah Fu Gun Shop", that is, Aunt Nan and her brother, which can be used as a sniper rifle.
He and Bai Chen took advantage of this to occupy the commanding heights, cooperating with the neighbors behind the barricades to deal with the scattered wilderness wanderers and a small number of city defense troops that were out of order.
After wasting more than a dozen bullets, he gradually got on the right track, and he could take away an enemy with two or three shots.
Compared with him, Bai Chen not only hits every shot, but is also good at observation, and can always find the leaders of the enemy group and call their names.
In this way, after a few shots, those enemies who lost their organization often collapsed on their own.
"I don't know when it will be a head......" Long Yuehong looked down the rooftop and sighed.
Although these defenses were successful and easy, as long as the city continued to be chaotic, no one knew what would await them in the future.
"It's coming soon." Bai Chen looked back in the direction of North Street, "As long as the upper level of Weeds City is not taken away, when they calm down and reorganize the team, these wilderness wanderers will not be opponents."
The simplest fact is that until now, we have not seen a counterattack from the city defense forces.
No matter how bad they are, the regular army that has been trained for a long time and often goes to the wilderness to fight cannot collapse at the first touch, and in the mansions of the nobles on North Street, each family can launch multiple artillery pieces at any time, take out a few machine guns, and organize a very combat-effective private army.
In addition, Bai Chen also heard that the City Lord's Mansion has close cooperation with the "Mechanical Paradise" with the help of the Hunter Guild, and there may be some secret weapon hidden.
As soon as the words fell, Bai Chen heard a slightly low roar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannon fire in the direction of North Street continued one after another, and the earth shook gently.
Long Yuehong felt the trembling of the building, and for a moment she didn't know if the city defense army had finally counterattacked, or if the wilderness wanderers had grabbed enough artillery and began to bombard the barricades.
After this round of shelling, there was a dense gunshot like fried beans.
It didn't take long for the noise to come from the direction of North Street to the south, as if a large number of people were rushing towards the city gate.
Immediately afterwards, a loud sound from the speaker resounded in the sky:
"Put down your weapon and squat on the ground with your head in your hands.
"As long as you surrender, you will receive relief, and you can enter the manor and become a slave."
The announcement over and over again echoed in the city, and the noise and gunfire slowly subsided.
Wherever there is a way to survive, few people will resist to the end.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen looked at each other, exhaled and said:
"It's finally over......"
…………
The city lord's mansion, in the noble council hall.
Shang Jianyao, who was sitting at the head of the long table, stroked the small speaker with a black face on a blue background, and said to everyone with satisfaction:
"Isn't it good for everyone to be harmonious and sincere to the outside world like this?
"If there is really any conflict, just dance and wrestle arms, and compare who doesn't blink for a longer time."
Xu Liyan took a breath and deeply agreed:
"Yes, we are all brothers and sisters, how can there be a threshold that cannot be crossed?"
"No, no." Murridge, who spoke slowly, retorted, "You have to talk about each other, you still have to call our uncle and uncle."
Xu Liyan was about to respond when a guard came over at the door and reported happily:
"City lord, the first wave of counter-charge scattered those wilderness wanderers!
"Because of the promise of relief, many of them gave up their resistance, and order in the city was gradually restored.
"The city defense army that lost contact before was also found and organized."
Xu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said:
"Sure enough, we still have to take a two-pronged approach, and we can't be stingy at times like this.
"Kindness is not necessarily worse than selfishness, different situations require different wrists."
After this battle, he felt that his authority had been established to a certain extent, but everyone was already brothers, and there was no need to force it if they had something to discuss.
After giving orders for further aftermath one by one, he saw another guard rushing to the door.
"City lord, the Wasteland Sentinel in the direction of the 'First City' reports:
"A regular army from the 'First City' appeared and joined several slave traps."
Xu Liyan narrowed his eyes:
"Sure enough......"
Jiang Baimian is not surprised by this at all.
After confirming the true purpose of the "Priest", she suspected that there was a certain force behind the matter in the "First City", or directly the will of the "First City" Senate.
They had long wanted to completely swallow the fat meat of Weed City, which had a lot of autonomy.
Xu Liyan immediately looked around, smiled and said:
"If we fail to resolve the riots quickly, they have enough reason to stay here and stabilize the situation for their subordinates."
After saying that, he looked sideways at Uncle Liu:
"Dispatch a drone team to bomb the wasteland in front of that army for a round, saying that they are clearing out the rebels, please do not approach, so as not to be accidentally injured.
"Hehe, this large fireworks should make the guests and hosts happy."
"Yes, city lord!" Uncle Liu replied first, and then reminded, "In the future, harmony must still be valued."
"I understand." Xu Liyan was angry and angry, but he did not lose his mind.
For them, whether it is in terms of the resources they can obtain, the trade they can intervene in, the protection they can get, or the degree of autonomy, staying in the "original city" is the best choice.
Seeing that the situation had been reversed and all affairs were on the right track, Jiang Baimian winked at Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao quickly stood up, put the small speaker back in his tactical backpack, and said:
"We still have something to do, we have to leave first."
"When things are completely calmed down, you must come to the ball!" Zhao Zhengqi's eldest son reluctantly invited.
"If you are free." Shang Jianyao responded with bright eyes.
Xu Liyan glanced left and right:
"Aren't you still taking three people with you? It's inconvenient to have a car.
"Come on, drive my specially modified bulletproof off-road car to the door."
After giving the order, he looked at Shang Jianyao and said with a sincere face:
"Don't dislike it."
"Then I won't see the outside." Shang Jianyao responded with a smile.
…………
The military green bulletproof off-road drove out of the city lord's mansion and slowly drove along North Street towards the municipal building.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Wei Yu and the three people in the back seat, and asked Shang Jianyao, who was in charge of driving:
"How long can your wave of 'reasoning clowns' last?"
This determines the time when they escape from Weed City.
——During the previous search, they unsurprisingly found Wei Yu and other members of the Lei Yunsong group.
Originally, it was inevitable that there would be a fierce battle, which was likely to bring casualties, but it happened that Odic was involved and used firepower to suppress it, looking for an opportunity to make Wei Yu and others fall into a deep sleep.
Because there were many guards nearby at that time, Jiang Baimian did not let Shang Jianyao use the "reasoning clown" to deal with the follow-up, nor did he directly wake up Wei Yu and others to try to crack the "hypnosis" and exchange pleasantries and recognize relatives.
She chose to undergo superficial anesthesia and take it back for treatment.
Shang Jianyao shook his body slightly while driving, and said:
"A circular argument has been formed, and if nothing else, it can last for at least ten days and a half months.
"Even if you encounter something that contradicts the 'reasoning result' in your daily life, as long as it is not particularly fierce and diametrically opposed, it will be covered up by cyclical argumentation and become accumulation until it reaches a critical line."
"That's good." Jiang Baimian nodded first, and then asked curiously, "You just let them think that you are brothers, moved by your spirit, and choose to help. This has nothing to do with many things in real life, and the possibility of counterexamples is quite low. What if, if there are no counterexamples?"
"The noble council hall will become a fraternal hall." Shang Jianyao made a serious guess.
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"This may not be a big deal. They have practical contradictions with each other, and as time goes by, they will find out that something is wrong."
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian turned sideways, looked at Shang Jianyao, and asked seriously:
"What do you think you did wrong about this matter just now?"
Shang Jianyao thought for a while and said:
"I should take you away first!"
Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes:
"This is the wrong choice!"
She sighed and said helplessly:
"Give me at least a look before you do it, don't make a surprise attack.
"If I had reacted slower just now, I would have died!"
"Okay." Shang Jianyao agreed.
When they returned to the alley where the "Ah Fu Gun Shop" was located, order in the city had been initially restored, and the obstacles blocking the entrance to the yard had been emptied.
After settling Wei Yu and the others, they didn't go out anymore and stayed in the room, listening to the gunshots sporadically.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was slowly darkening, and Weeds City finally regained stability.
Shang Jianyao and the others were divided into two groups, went out of the alley, and came to South Street to confirm the current status.
At this time, there were people sitting in front of many smashed shops, either bending over, looking at the ground, sobbing softly, or looking at the street ahead, crying silently.
The streets were filled with patrolling city defense forces, and many citizens and homeless people were there to help collect the bodies in order to get more food.
The dead were dragged away, leaving blood-red marks on the ground.
Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little cold on her face, and subconsciously looked up at the sky.
The low-hanging clouds were like lead, and crystal crushed ice fell down, more and more.
Long Yuehong looked at this scene in a daze, stretched out her right hand to take it, and said in a low voice:
"It's snowing......"
