"That's it..."
Kent returned to the sanctuary with a tired face and reported to Otto in embarrassment.
In order to make what he said more convincing, he even cut his arms and legs with a knife when he was near the shelter. Although there will be radioactive dust entering the wound, as long as the amount is not large, then The problem is not big. What's more, he immediately tore the inner lining of his clothes into strips of cloth and bandaged the wound, so the actual radiation received is actually very small. Take a good bath in a while and then take some anti-radiation medicine. .
Of course, there are real world anti-radiation, but it is not as simple and rude as anti-radiation.
After listening to Kent's report, Otto looked ugly.
His breathing was visibly quicker, and there was a hint of blush on his face.
"Then what about you? Just escaped back? I remember I sent ten miners to the two of you. What about those miners?"
As for the other person, it goes without saying that he must be dead. Even if he is not dead, it seems to Otto that he is dead.
In fact, he did not feel distressed for the deaths of one or two people, or the deaths of ten miners. He was angry that the other eleven people were all broken on the front line. Only Kent returned by himself without any gunshot wounds. Doesn't this mean that Kent just ran back when the battle started? Thanks to his trust in Kent so much, Kent gave him such an answer.
"you you……"
The more Otto thought about it, the more angry he got, pointing at Kent, trembling, wishing he could directly order Kent to be executed.
But after a while, he still waved weakly.
"Go down..."
Of course he couldn't really put Kent to death.
In fact, as the war continues and the combatants of the Otto Refuge continue to be damaged, all combatants on the border have become extremely desperate. After the miners were sent to the battlefield, this situation was even more extreme. Basically, the work of sending death is done by miners, and most of the combatants are frantically protecting themselves. In the final analysis, these so-called combatants were originally gangsters under Otto.
Since they are gangsters, don't expect them to have any determination to fear death.
Please, this is not a battle to defend the country. Even if the combatant is killed in battle, isn't Otto the cheapest in the end?
What's more, why should everyone fight to the death?
It's really impossible to surrender.
Of course, this cannot be said in the face, otherwise it will disturb the military's mind. There will always be that kind of fool who will kill these companions who want to surrender for Otto, so people who have this idea will not say it, just Will do so when appropriate. When someone surrenders, naturally some people don't want to surrender. If they don't want to surrender, they will choose to turn around and flee when it is truly dangerous.
More and more people have escaped now. To put it bluntly, Kent is no different.
Otto's anger was only because the men who followed him for a long time died. Ten miners died, but Kent, the newcomer, survived.
Let him always think whether there is something in it.
However, he was not sure, even if he sent someone to the location of the incident, he would definitely not be able to find out anything. This kind of aggrieved feeling is what makes him most uncomfortable.
It happened that he could not simply put Kent to death, because Kent was a middle-level cadre, even if he was a newcomer, he was a cadre.
If even the middle-level cadres can slaughter at will, then everyone else will inevitably endanger themselves. When the time comes, the situation is not good, I am afraid it will immediately become worse.
But to be honest, Kent had no idea about Otto's decision, so he was actually taking a risk when he escaped this time, because he could not guarantee that Otto would not do it. As long as Otto loses his mind a little, Kent's fate will definitely not be better. But when he thought of his mission this time, he had actually put life and death out of the picture from the beginning. What he did was for the sanctuary and for his younger siblings.
Your own shelter needs to be developed and needs stronger force, so it will inevitably need manpower.
In the case of Herto, it is impossible to recruit scattered people.
After several rounds of elimination, the scattered people who have survived now, let alone anything else, will at least not easily trust anyone. Of course, this road is not completely blocked, but it is mainly the least easy at the beginning. How can we win the trust of others initially? How to take the step from zero to one is the most difficult.
So they had a simple discussion before carrying out the task, and finally decided to start with a large shelter.
Once the large-scale shelter is destroyed, the vacated site will inevitably attract competition from multiple parties, which will cause even larger-scale chaos.
Only when the water of Herto is muddled can Ankai Sanctuary have room to move, and can gradually encroach on the city, and then continue to absorb the survivors who can't persist in their own sanctuary.
What's more, if you directly attack scattered people, no matter what means, peaceful or violent, as long as the movement is a little bit larger, the large and medium-sized shelters will definitely be aware of it. If they find out that a new shelter with great potential has appeared in the underground of Herto, and has the ability to join the ranks of large shelters, then the existing five major shelters will certainly not allow the development of all Ankai shelters.
At that time, it will be an all-out war. Ankai Shelter will definitely not be able to hold the five shelters, and there will be scattered survivors who may join the war.
So it is the least wise to do it directly.
In order to ensure that they do not become the target of public criticism, they can only start from the route of disrupting the situation.
Fortunately, it seems that the plan is going very well.
Obviously, the Otto Refuge has fallen into a dead end, and the three major shelters currently caught in the war have been aware of the existence of behind-the-scenes behind all of this, but they have not been able to truly find the Ankai Refuge. The little tail that I had grasped before also completely cut off the clue with the disappearance of the three elite teams.
...
Back in his room, Kent lay on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then he took out the communicator from a very secret place-don't ask where it was, Kent said he didn't want to answer this question-opened it and stuffed it into his ear.
He doesn't worry that he will be discovered by people here when he communicates with the outside world, because this is an encrypted communicator specially made for them by Ankai.
The reason why he didn’t carry it when he first joined was because he was a pure newcomer at the time and had no status. Once he entered the Otto Sanctuary, he would inevitably be carefully checked from top to bottom from the inside to the outside, and hide again. Secrets are useless, they will definitely be searched out. Once found out, it doesn't matter if he himself is dead, and the mission must have failed.
Now it’s different. He’s a middle-level cadre at any rate. If anything else, at least no one will force his body search. He just needs to change his clothes and take a bath after entering the shelter. As long as he hides his position, he will definitely not be exposed. flaw.
As for the issue of communication encryption, this is also very simple. As long as you change a set of keys, the signal content will not be cracked for a while. And this communicator was originally made specially. Even if there are professionals in the Otto Sanctuary, the location of the signal transmission cannot be found for a while, even if it is found, it can only be simply judged that the location is in the sanctuary.
The shelter is bigger, with ten floors above ground, two floors underground, and a mine tunnel below it. It is undoubtedly more difficult to find the source of the signal accurately.
As long as Kent can return to his room, he has countless ways to hide this thing, without worrying about it being exposed.
After connecting to the communicator, Kent first asked about the situation on Master's side.
"Everything went well. We have received the five miners on your side. One of the five miners on the other side was seriously injured and is currently under treatment. The other four are in good condition. As for the combatant, he just suffered. Some minor injuries were caught by us, and they are now preparing to be sent back to the shelter."
Master said.
"These guys are really not good at fighting, but their physical fitness is pretty good, especially the five miners on the other side, good guys, run faster than one, we almost couldn't catch up. Fortunately, these people have been malnourished for a long time, and their bodies are relatively good. Weakness finally gave us a chance. By the way, don’t take action on your side. The specific action time is temporarily set in ten days. Currently the shelter needs manpower, and these eleven people cannot be wasted. Wait until I send them back first and then come back."
In fact, in terms of the whole plan, eleven people are really nothing.
After all, this is not the best time to act, mainly because Otto hasn't really reached the end of the mountain, so he has to wait a while and press on.
In any case, Otto is also the leader here, and there are still some people who believe in him blindly or are deterred by him. If something happens at this time, the probability of success is of course not low, or even very high, but in the end there are still some Danger. It would be better to wait for Otto to be really forced into desperation and have to flee the sanctuary, when there is no leader here, and then contact the miners to start the matter, it will be more smooth.
Kent certainly supported this plan, and said nothing more.
So he settled down and continued to hang around in the Otto Sanctuary.
As for Otto, it was as if he had forgotten Kent. For the next ten days, he did not send any more tasks to him, and he was also very happy.
On the eighth day, Jonny also came back, got a touch, and lost two fingers, but he was in good spirits.
Originally, Jonny was just the lowest-level gangster, with no knowledge, no education, and little insight. He seemed to have some courage, but in fact he was vulnerable.
But after a period of tempering on the front line, the whole person has become a lot more determined, and he has become so fierce.
This is a good thing. In Ankai Shelter, these people can only be the latest batch of newcomers in the future.
Either become a staff member, engage in production work, or join the escort, but he can only be an ordinary team member, and he certainly does not receive Ankai's attention.
But with Kent helping to speak with him, and some of his own transformation, I believe that Jonny will get a good treatment after joining his own shelter in the future. At the very least, it should be no problem to be a team leader.
Yes, Ankai Shelter will also reform the "military" in the future, the main direction is to expand the defense team, and also form a new defense team in the form of large, medium and small.
As mentioned earlier, if nothing else, in the future shelter, Kent will become the Minister of Defense, and Master and Curry will be deputy ministers. There will naturally be different defense teams below. Kent knows Jonny best here. After two months of getting along, he also determined that Jonny was a good guy. Being a gangster is just a matter of life and a certain degree of going astray, so as long as he reforms it, he is still a good guy. It is estimated that the problem will not be big if he can become the leader of the defense team or even the squadron in the future.
At that time, although Kent could not directly lead him, he could also give him some help.
In the final analysis, Jonny's own abilities are still needed here.
Specific combat literacy can be cultivated, but a person's mentality and will can only be changed by himself.
The previous Jonny was a gangster, who was a bully and afraid of hardship. Of course, apart from his identity as a gangster, he was more like an ordinary person. Ordinary people, isn’t that just bullying and fearing hardship. However, a trip on the battlefield gave Jonny a trace of iron and blood, which is very good. This change is enough to make up for his lack of will and mentality.
After the ten-day period expired, Kent connected to the communicator again. This time, Master gave him good news.
"Otto has left the shelter, you can do it!"
"When? Why don't I know..."
Kent was amazed. He had been in the shelter, and he had been quietly watching Odor. He could see Odo on the top of the hall every day. How could he leave the shelter?
"It should be a stand-in. My people have already cut off a few possible escape routes. Just yesterday, we caught him. This is not a fuel-efficient one. You can't even imagine what this guy is carrying with him. Things, this thing is too important, I must go back to the shelter immediately. In short, the next thing is left to you, now Otto is no longer there, once an emergency occurs, there will be chaos in the shelter.
I must hurry, I must move before anyone else finds out. Okay, let's not talk about it, I will also retreat as soon as possible. I left three people at the place we agreed before, so you can just go directly. "
After speaking, Master hung up.
Kent took a deep breath instead of acting immediately, he called Joni first, and the two went to the restaurant to have a meal together.
After returning to the room, Kent closed the door and looked at Jonny very seriously.
"Jonny, you answer me honestly, if you say, I can take you to a better shelter, where there is no oppression, no exploitation, everyone works together, no longer hungry, and there is clean drinking water and air. With a better living environment and stronger force, will you follow me? Will you believe me?"
When he said this, Kent pressed his right hand firmly on Jonny's shoulder and put his left hand in his pocket.
In fact, he already held the iron knife in the palm of his left hand. As long as Jonny hesitated or refused, he would immediately pierce Jonny's throat with the knife, without giving him a chance to sound the alarm.
This kind of thing is too important and too critical. At this moment, he doesn't want his actions to fail.
Jonny was stunned when he heard the words.
But he nodded subconsciously in the next second.
"Of course, as long as it's the boss of Kent, I will believe and listen."
