Chapter Summary
Wang Laohu's plan was very simple: select a group of elite soldiers from the existing manpower, then infiltrate the area near the city and establish a temporary camp there. Of course, that temporary camp could not be the same as the current one; all the machinery and people had to be hidden underground, since there were too many ferocious beasts around. We destroyed two small reconnaissance planes and that's how we found out what's really going on inside the city." After listening to Wang Laohu'...
Wang Laohu's plan was very simple: select a group of elite soldiers from the existing manpower, then infiltrate the area near the city and establish a temporary camp there. Of course, that temporary camp could not be the same as the current one; all the machinery and people had to be hidden underground, since there were too many ferocious beasts around.
When Liu Ning heard about the plan, he felt that Wang Laohu was dreaming. Under those circumstances, trying to carry out a large-scale civil engineering project was practically suicide. Of course, Wang Laohu wouldn't lead everyone to die around Windmill City. There were many secret bases there. If they were lucky, they could find one that wasn't badly damaged. With a little repair, they could use it as a hiding place.
After hearing Wang Laohu's explanation, Liu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they were to dig a grave in the wild, they might as well not go to rescue anyone; that would just be digging a grave for us.
Besides Liu Ning and his group, the Central Base City also dispatched a special operations team. The team members had infiltrated the beast's territory many times with great success, so this time they were also assigned to Wang Laohu's command.
"The members of this team are all quite capable. I've never heard of them before. Is the higher-ups really going to carry out this rescue operation, or are we just putting on a show?"
Liu Ning also saw the team members' information. It turned out that this kind of rescue was to shut up those scientists. The sacrifice of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers made those scientists see that our military was indeed making efforts. But this special team was no joke. The military had trained them for a long time. If they came, they might really want to succeed in the rescue.
"You're absolutely right. We're not going to our deaths this time. We really are going to rescue some people. I received another order from above, a verbal one. We only need to bring out a few people. As for the researchers on this list, we don't need to bring them all out, and we don't have the capacity to do so..."
Wang Laohu looked at his smart device and then deleted the order. In the entire military camp, apart from Wang Laohu and Liu Ning, no one knew about the order.
Wang Laohu even sent his own orderly out to give Liu Ning a proper explanation. This city has 80 million people, and there are quite a few people in the inner city as well. If he wanted to bring someone out, he would have to lie.
Wang Laohu already had an idea. In his army, if we're talking about ability, Liu Ning is probably number one. It's not that he wanted to scheme against Liu Ning, but in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the whole plan, Wang Laohu wanted Liu Ning and a small team from the Central Base City to go in, while the others would provide support outside the city. After all, only a few people needed to be brought out; not all of them needed to go in.
If too many people go in, there's not much to supervise, and it's very likely to alert the ferocious beasts in the city, which wouldn't be good for them either.
"Let me deceive them?"
Wang Laohu's plan was simple: have Liu Ning and his team impersonate a reconnaissance squad, then, while the inner city was still under his control, quickly infiltrate and bring out a few scientists, leaving the rest to be abandoned.
"Brother, don't you understand the situation yet? We're not saviors, and we can't save everyone. Trying to save everyone would be suicidal. So don't even think about it. The greatest contribution to humanity is bringing the scientists back safely. If we keep dragging our feet, these scientists might die in the city. Don't worry about their selflessness; people are capable of anything in the end. If you tell them you're abandoning them, they might not even spare you..."
What Wang Laohu said was true. After his rebirth, Liu Ning also saw too many bad habits. Although many people have a spirit of dedication, most people don't have any spirit of dedication at all. They are all self-centered. If you encounter these people, there is really no way to bring scientists out.
"Just do as I say. I've been through a lot like this. It's not that you can't have a kind heart, but in this situation, kindness doesn't really help much. Come and see what's going on in Windmill City. We destroyed two small reconnaissance planes and that's how we found out what's really going on inside the city."
After listening to Wang Laohu's words, Liu Ning shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind of those thoughts. What Wang Laohu said was true. Although Liu Ning couldn't accept it for the time being, this was the real world. Liu Ning had already made a great contribution to humanity by saving those scientists. It was absolutely impossible to save everyone. Liu Ning himself didn't have a saintly heart.
The video shows that most of the buildings in the city have collapsed, and some are still standing there alone, but they are also emitting thick smoke. There are almost no living people left. There are human corpses everywhere on the ground, and many ferocious beasts are standing there in twos and threes. This is different from what Liu Ning imagined. Shouldn't the whole city be crowded with ferocious beasts?
"Do you think all the ferocious beasts can live in the city? That's impossible. Many ferocious beasts have to move out. They only participate in the siege. There are levels among the ferocious beasts. If you are not high enough, even if the city is captured, it will not have much to do with you. At most, you will just have a good meal."
Wang Laohu chuckled and said, "So there is oppression everywhere, and it's normal among ferocious beasts too. These ferocious beasts didn't participate in the fierce siege battle, but they were able to have their own residences in the city. Those ferocious beasts that were injured or died could only become food for other ferocious beasts. Who told you to have such a bad background?"
Sometimes, being born into the right family really matters.
"This is your assigned action team. There are only five people in the team, and one of them is in an accident, so Wang Fang has to fill in. The other five are on their way here..."
Upon hearing Wang Laohu's words, Liu Ning was shocked. This was a mission where death was certain, and Wang Laohu actually wanted Wang Fang to take the place. Did this guy not care about his niece's life?
