1234. Take up arms again

Ren Xiaosu had a long dream.

In the dream, the potato Sagittarius planted by him and Yang Xiaojin in the small courtyard of Anning East Road actually blossomed.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to be trapped in a world of birds singing and flowers, and white flowers bloomed on their roofs.

However, in a blink of an eye, huge flames ignited in the world and everything was burned to pieces.

A strong stench permeated the whole world, as if the smell of burnt leather tubes, and mixed with a smell of aged vinegar.

Ren Xiaosu slowly opened his eyes and saw Dafuyou sitting next to his bed, snatching his big feet.

Outside the dormitory window, it was already a new morning, and the sun was shining in through the window bit by bit.

Ren Xiaosu said expressionlessly: "Get out with your stinky feet!"

"Young Marshal, you're awake," Da Fuyou lifted his shoes with surprise on his face: "You've been waking up for a long time this time. I thought there was something wrong with your body!"

"How long have I slept?" Ren Xiaosu asked. He looked up and saw that P5092, Wang Yun, Ji Zi'ang, Xun Yeyu and others were all crowded in the dormitory of the outpost.

"16 hours," said Dayou: "We rushed over after receiving the notice from Commander Zhang. Miss Xiaojin and Miss Yingxue were guarding outside, while several of us masters were guarding inside."

"Why did Mr. Zhang call you over?" Ren Xiaosu was puzzled.

"He said you may not have rested for a long time and will be more vulnerable when sleeping, so let's protect you from any accidents," said Da Fu.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that he had not slept for more than 40 hours and had experienced high-intensity escape from being driven out of dusk, so he was indeed a little unable to hold on.

With his alertness, he didn't even notice that Da Fu and others approached.

However, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that it might be because he subconsciously felt that they could trust their fools, so he was not awakened.

When he was living in a market town, Yan Liuyuan would not wake him up when he approached.

"Mr. Zhang has any instructions," Ren Xiaosu asked.

"The entire combat command believes that we may be retreating," said Dafu.

Now, the entire northwest has been cut off from the Central Plains.

Even people like Ren Xiaosu who have been to the Central Plains in person actually cannot confirm whether Zero really controls the entire Central Plains.

However, people who like to bet on luck have always lost a lot of losses in such matters as war, so the Northwest Army immediately decided to formulate combat strategies with the worst plan when it was uncertain about the specific situation.

To the east of Fortress 178, such as Barrier No. 146, Barrier No. 144, Barrier No. 145, and Barrier No. 143, are all located on the plains.

The areas controlled by these barriers are not suitable for large-scale wars at all. If these places are to be defended, the losses of the Northwest Army may have to be increased by an additional 30%.

This 30% is not a simple number, it is behind tens of thousands of lives!

It is impossible for Zhang Jinglin to bet on tens of thousands of lives, how many enemies are there?

So their best choice is to retreat to the west of the 143 barrier.

The terrain there is more suitable for defense.

Dafu said: "If the entire Central Plains have been controlled by artificial intelligence, then the 143 barrier is not our end point, and there must be an alternative to the retreat plan."

"Where is the alternative to withdraw?" Ren Xiaosu asked calmly.

"Retreat to Fort 178," Dafu replied.

Ren Xiaosu frowned. If the situation was really so bad, it would mean that the northwest faced the largest migration since the wasteland era.

Not only the army must retreat, but also the people here must retreat.

Those are millions of residents and refugees, so how can they evacuate at any time?

But if we do not retreat with the residents, it would be even more dangerous for human civilization to violate the original intention of the Northwest Army.

"Where is Mr. Zhang?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

"He arrived at Barrier No. 144 this afternoon," said Da Fu: "The plan for the whole nation to migrate westward must begin today."

From this moment on, the entire human civilization will begin to race against time.

Ren Xiaosu stood up: "Everyone went back to Barrier No. 144 with me and informed Zhou Yinglong that the front line outposts would also evacuate together. They would go back to their own combat sequence reports, so don't stay here to increase casualties."

At this time, everyone realized that Ren Xiaosu had already entered the role of Young Marshal.

Zhou Yinglong is the commander of the Third Field Division. If Ren Xiaosu is solely in charge of the Sixth Field Division, he can't command it, and he must use the identity of the young marshal.

However, the big fool was stunned for a moment: "That's not possible, Young Marshal, these outposts were built for war. Each outpost worked hard to set up a telephone line, to investigate the enemy's situation and buy time for the rear troops. Although sacrifices were not something that everyone wanted to see, if they retreated, we would be really blind. At that time, no one knew where the enemy would arrive and when the troops would come to the city."

Ren Xiaosu shook his head, then shouted out the window: "Zhou Yingxue!"

"Hey!" The maid outside the window agreed: "What's the matter with me, the master?"

Ren Xiaosu said: "When we leave, you will stay in this outpost. If you find the enemy situation, report it to the rear immediately, and then you will evacuate alone."

"Oh," Zhou Yingxue agreed reluctantly.

With Zhou Yingxue here, no one can keep her even if the enemy arrives.

The big fool and P5092 looked at each other, and everyone thought that I would like to put an extraordinary person like Zhou Yingxue as a sentinel here. Is it appropriate?

In fact, this is of course the least cost, but Zhou Yingxue feels particularly uncomfortable, right?

Ren Xiaosu tidied up his clothes and walked out the door. He looked at Zhou Yingxue and said, "Don't look unhappy. After the war is over, the entire black market of the Barrier Alliance will be given to you."

"Really?" Zhou Yingxue's eyes lit up: "The entire barrier alliance?"

"Yes," Ren Xiaosu nodded.

"Thank you, sir," Zhou Yingxue smiled.

At this time, Zhou Yingxue had not fully realized the seriousness of the problem. To be honest, Ren Xiaosu was not sure whether there was a title of barrier alliance after this battle.

However, they found out that the big fool of themselves. Although this girl Zhou Yingxue is in the black market on weekdays, the barrier No. 144 is so powerful. When she arrived in front of the Young Marshal and Xiao Jin, she was as obedient as a kitten.

On the way back, Ren Xiaosu saw in the car that someone was driving excavator machines in the riverside next to the road were dredging some tributaries.

Dafu explained on the co-pilot: "Seeing that the water conservancy construction project is halfway through and the area of ​​farmland irrigation has reached half. It is a pity to withdraw it from the 178 Fortress like this."

Ren Xiaosu looked out the window in a daze, wondering if he was really a broom star. Every time he just wanted to stop, there would be new changes to destroy the home he had hoped for.

Yang Xiaojin, who was standing beside him, seemed to guess what he was thinking, suddenly tightened his palm: "We evacuated here not because we were unlucky with you, but because there was no peace in this world. This troubled time was not brought by you, nor was it caused by you. On the contrary, with you protecting this land, I believe we can definitely win."

Ren Xiaosu nodded.

In fact, whether it is Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, Qing Yi of the Qing family, or Ren Xiaosu from the 178 Fortress, they are fooling each other, Zhang Jinglin and others.

When guessing what kind of power AI Zero controls, there is actually a sense of powerlessness.

It was a tsunami of 100 meters high, but you had no way to escape.

However, Ren Xiaosu knew that there was another way to resolve the crisis, and it seemed that he only had this one left.

Yang Xiaojin suddenly whispered: "It may be a bit selfish to say this, but no matter what the situation is, I don't want you to save others at the expense of your own way. You can't do it in order to save me. Do you understand? We can definitely find other solutions."

After visiting Barrier No. 88, there was no secret between Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, so Yang Xiaojin also knew very well what Ren Xiaosu's last method was.

But for her, if the price of saving the world was to sacrifice Ren Xiaosu, she would not want to.

Ren Xiaosu smiled: "I won't get to that point."

...

The group first returned to the garrison camp of the Sixth Field Division. After all the core members entered the conference room, Ren Xiaosu pointed out the topic: "What we discussed today is how to arrange the residents of the entire northwest to evacuate in an orderly manner. Remember, organizing their evacuation is by no means a woman's kindness, we cannot leave them to artificial intelligence."

Zhang Xiaoman said in confusion: "Does artificial intelligence really have so many nanorobots? There are millions of people in the northwest. Can it control so many?"

"We can only make the worst plans now," P5092 explained: "We don't know if it has this ability, but we can only assume that it can. We need to prepare for both hands, one is to retreat and the other is to face the enemy."

The work of retreat involves too many things, such as the destruction of confidential documents, the transfer of grain reserves, the transfer of various materials, the registration of personnel, how to transfer in batches, and how to set up the supply lines on the retreat road. This is actually a very huge project.

It is definitely not to say that it is as simple as telling the residents to run away quickly and then everyone will run away together.

As for the second thing to face the enemy, it is even more difficult.

The retreat of millions of people is a long process. According to Wang Yuexi's estimate, the entire retreat plan will take one month to complete. However, according to Ren Xiaosu's estimate, the crowd in the Central Plains will reach Barrier No. 144 at most half a month.

This half month must be fought for.

Barrier No. 144 is the closest barrier to the Central Plains, and the Sixth Field Division, as the garrison of Barrier No. 144, has no choice but to do so.

Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and looked at P5092: "You should retreat with the original fire force and participate in the construction of the rear defense line. I will tell Mr. Zhang about this matter. Zhou Yinglong's third field division is on the way south, and they will complete the defense change at that time."

Earlier, he reached an agreement with P5092 that after the Wizard Kingdom, the combat sequence of the original Tinder Forces would withdraw from the battle and no longer participate in the civil war between the Barrier Alliance.

Therefore, during this period, the Black Fox took off his command task to lead the new recruits. The fire soldiers all went to help build water conservancy, and a small number of them helped the residents of barriers to carry out grain fields and land reclamation work.

At this moment, the Black Fox should be taking the recruits on the way to pull fertilizers.

However, after Ren Xiaosu said this, P5092 shook his head: "It's different. This is no longer a civil war between the barrier alliances. It is a war related to the life and death of human beings. The soldiers of the original fire force sequence will return to their posts. I have just notified the Black Fox to come back to attend the meeting."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open by the black fox.

A scent of ugly fertilizer spread throughout the conference room. The black fox looked at Ren Xiaosu and P5092 and asked: "Sir, what do you need me to do when I call me back?"
