Chapter Summary
In previous wars, as long as the inner city remained intact, the outer city could potentially be recaptured if surrounding cities sent troops to support it. However, it has now been confirmed that Windmill City is a dilapidated city, lacking even a skylight for power generation, so there is no need to send troops to support it. Last time, when Wang Laohu led his men in, not only did he fail to rescue the scientists, but the thousands of soldiers he brought with him all died inside.
In previous wars, as long as the inner city remained intact, the outer city could potentially be recaptured if surrounding cities sent troops to support it. However, it has now been confirmed that Windmill City is a dilapidated city, lacking even a skylight for power generation, so there is no need to send troops to support it.
Now that the city has been abandoned, all the humans hiding inside have come out. They know that the city has been abandoned, and no matter how well you hide, you may be dug out by the ferocious beasts in the future.
Although you have prepared a lot of food and drink, there is no hope for the future. At this point, you can only fight your way out.
This was Liu Ning's first time hearing about the inner city. Wang Laohu's advisor explained that every city actually has two layers of walls, but the inner city wall is always hidden deeper. By simply filling in the gaps between buildings, an inner city wall can be formed. It's just that ordinary people don't know this. The inner city of Windmill City is still in Liu Ning's hands, but it's said that it won't last much longer.
Wang Laohu was deeply worried. The reason the inner city hadn't fallen was because all the city's experts had gone there, and there were undoubtedly many valuable treasures within. They might prepare for a retreat, as these treasures represented the city's wealth, and the Human Council would likely try to smuggle them out. Wang Laohu's concern was that they hadn't suffered any losses. Although several surrounding cities had sent reinforcements, those cities had suffered some losses. He hoped no missions would come their way.
Wang Laohu once carried out a rescue mission, and because of his excellent command ability, none of his soldiers were lost. As a result, the Human Council issued him an order to lead his army into the inner city to rescue a group of scientists. He was extremely frustrated at the time, thinking that he could go back after finishing his mission. Who knew he would receive such a mission? Wang Laohu is now worried about this issue.
It's not that Wang Laohu is unwilling to make sacrifices for humanity; it's just that such missions have virtually no chance of survival. Last time, when Wang Laohu led his men in, not only did he fail to rescue the scientists, but the thousands of soldiers he brought with him all died inside.
Apart from a few people who came out, no one else had a chance of survival. Many people in the army said that this kind of rescue was useless and would only increase casualties. But the upper echelons of the Human Council still issued such an order, in order not to discourage all the scientists. But what about the lives of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives?
"Line up and show us your identification. We need to verify your identity information. If you haven't committed any crimes, you can enter the refugee camp. Once we're ready, we'll transport you to a new city where you'll be properly settled..."
When Liu Ning woke up the next day, he heard the soldiers at the door say loudly that although there were many people coming, the soldiers did not slack off. They still checked the ID cards of these people according to the original requirements. If the ID information showed that they were criminals, then they were afraid they would be sorry.
We're here to save ordinary people, not criminals like you. If we were the best, we'd probably shoot you on the spot. There's no point in talking about a trial then.
For everyone's safety, of course we must eliminate these dangerous elements. What if they have anti-human intentions and bring a large number of ferocious beasts here?
Liu Ning knew this was a necessary procedure. He looked around the temporary camp. The civilians from last night had already been sent out. These people were newcomers, and this was also a necessary procedure. We couldn't let dangerous elements into our camp. We were in a critical situation. Who had the time to send someone to watch over them? Every soldier was a vital fighting force.
"What's going on? These people don't have any identification?"
Liu Ning noticed that the people at the entrance weren't moving at all. Generally, once they got close to the temporary camp, these people would take out their identification documents. So, the people in front of him were acting strangely, and it was obvious that their identification documents were problematic.
“They have identification, but they don’t want to show it. I suspect their identities are questionable. These guys aren’t coming to register; they’re just hanging around us. I suspect they’re all criminals, but we don’t have enough manpower to identify them, so we’ll just let them stay there!”
Outside the temporary camp, there were about 300 people. Judging from their clothes, they didn't want to show their true faces. They didn't expect to be able to enter the temporary camp. When the trucks started moving, they would just run with them. They were convinced that they could keep up with the trucks.
They knew that even if they reached the next city, they probably wouldn't be able to get in, so they hid around the next city, waiting for an opportunity to find a way in.
However, this situation is extremely dangerous. If they fall behind, it would be equivalent to death for them. But it is still a way out. If they show their identification now, they are likely to be shot on the spot. No one knows if there are any normal civilians among them, so the army can't do anything to them. If it is confirmed that there are no normal civilians among them, Wang Laohu will directly order a sweeping attack. Anyway, you are not good people either.
Suddenly, Liu Ning had a flash of inspiration. Since the Thunder Hunter hadn't been found in the original city, could it have gone to another city? The most likely place was Windmill City. Windmill City seemed somewhat dilapidated, and there must be loopholes in its management. If the Thunder Hunter was among these people, wouldn't all their efforts be wasted?
"I've got nothing better to do anyway. Go and assign me two soldiers. I'll vet these guys; with their mediocre skills, they're probably no match for me. Having them constantly around the camp is also a security risk..."
Liu Ning volunteered, and Wang Laohu nodded. There was no need to worry about Liu Ning's abilities; letting him handle this small matter would be no problem.
