ultimate cannon fodder

Yorkshire is the capital of the Commonwealth and one of the few places in the Commonwealth that has not been hit by war.

It's late at night, but the lights are still on in an old-fashioned building. Warm lights pour out from several doors, which seems to indicate that the owner has not rested yet. The room is very ordinary, without luxurious decoration, and without expensive furniture, although it's not like a pigeon coop. It's so small but not so spacious that it looks like an ordinary dwelling.

In the room, a thin old man is sitting on an old-fashioned sofa and reading a book. He is wearing pajamas and looks casual and comfortable. Although he has eagle-like eyes, he feels generous and gentle without any harsh temperament.

And on the coffee table next to it, there is still a cup of steaming coffee

After a while, the old man reached out to fetch the coffee, but as soon as his hand touched the coffee cup, he heard a crisp sound. A crack suddenly appeared on the coffee cup, and then the whole cup was cut into two parts, and all the coffee in it leaked on the coffee table.

Looking at the broken surface of the coffee cup, the old man's eyebrows were slowly locked together, and his face gradually became serious. He slowly raised his head and glanced out. The night was still dark, and the thick night was silently surging, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

"Are you all crazy?" The old man sighed softly. In his eyes, there seemed to be a layer of blood that was too thick to melt away in the dark night, as if he had returned to the night full of blood and killing.

"Crack" the door opened, a young and beautiful girl poked her head out and saw the broken coffee cup and the coffee stains on the coffee table, her expression suddenly changed and she hurried in to clean it up, she didn't even dare to clean it up look into the old man's eyes

Quickly tidied up and refilled a cup of coffee. The girl was about to exit, but was stopped by the old man. The old man took off his reading glasses and wiped them with a piece of buckskin. He asked calmly and slowly with the old man's unique style: "Today A few more places are at war" [

The girl froze for a moment, logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to answer these questions, but she still said honestly: "The 17 cities are located in Latin America and the European Union."

"17 cities." The old man paused for a moment, with a sharp light in his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "So, except for Yorkshire, the entire Federation is already in flames of war."

"Should be," the girl lowered her head and whispered

The old man nodded slightly, motioning for the girl to go out, then clicked somewhere, and a wall suddenly receded to both sides, revealing a huge screen of light

What is shown on the light screen is the map of the entire Federation, but it is marked with various colors, and each color represents a certain aspect of power. At a glance, there are at least dozens of colors. The map is detailed and clearly outlined. The situation of the various forces is quite chaotic, and the fronts are intertwined. You have me and I have you, and these dynamic signs are still changing. The only thing that remains stable is the sky blue area.

Compared with the entire Federation, this area is not large or even inconspicuous, but it has not changed since the last expansion, but there are at least a dozen large and small battle marks on the edge of the area. Those extinguished flames A little trace will show the battle situation at that time, the distribution of forces between the two warring parties, the battle process and the results of the battle. From this aspect, the battle it has experienced is no less intense than any other area, and its intensity is even more than that. It can't help but feel weird that not a single inch of land was lost or expanded.

After squinting his eyes and observing for a long time, the old man pressed a certain button again, and the picture on the light screen switched to a sturdy middle-aged man full of iron and blood and a gray-haired old man who was ordinary but majestic

If someone often pays attention to the Federation's dynamics, he will recognize these two are well-known figures in the Federation. One of them is the first deputy head of state, Curtis, and the other is the speaker of the Supreme Council, Buterin. But this is surprising. It's rumored that the two are fighting each other for power and profit, and are sworn enemies, so how could they appear together at the same time?

"How's the plan going?" the old man asked with an expression on his face. Not only did he not have the timidity and respect that he should have in front of these two big men, but he had an aloof aura on the contrary.

Curtis grinned, "The Great Führer is wise, we're just acting in a play, and the remnants of those who escaped in the Twilight War can't help but be ready to move. Everything is under our control, and we can close the net at any time to catch them all..." At this point, he paused for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a solemn expression: "Many organizations are inextricably linked with these remnants. I worry that it will be difficult to deal with it if it gets too involved."

The old man, Ennis, the federal head of state who was rumored to have been killed in an attack, frowned and said lightly: "This is expected. If there are no organizations and forces to support them, I would be surprised. What else?"

"The other thing is that the boundary that is rich in energy crystals has been successfully delivered to Ma Jianyao and has not aroused his suspicion," Batlin said.

"Hehe, no wonder I mean that his power has been staying in place these days and has not expanded outwards. It turns out that he wants to digest this position with all his strength." The old man said with a smile, "It can be seen that our little guy attaches great importance to this position." "

Batlin also said with a smile: "Of course, this is a new discovery that can bring about an energy revolution. I don't think anyone but us can refuse the great temptation of energy crystals."

Curtis said without worry: "This Ma Jianyao hasn't joined us yet, so give him such a big benefit, just in case..." [

"There is nothing in case," the old man said without doubt: "If he passes this test, he is eligible to be added as one of us. If he fails the test, then this seat will be regarded as his funeral. Choose to be with us or against us hehe I believe he is a smart man and will make a smart choice"

……

The No. 2 stronghold was awakened by the roar of the engine and a simple and powerful command. Dozens of heavy trucks loaded with food lined up. There were several powerful armed personnel carriers and dozens of heavily armed soldiers. They are being filed into the train and they will be in charge of the food escort this time.

Although the battle line has been extended for dozens of kilometers, the routes traveled by the convoy are theoretically safe, but at present, food is more precious than gold. If there is no strong deterrent force, it is very likely that they will be looted

Another armed off-road vehicle is parked beside it. The vehicle has been modified. On the roof is a large-caliber high-energy gun. The shooter lazily leans on the gun and looks at the soldiers who are boarding the vehicle. Although they are all soldiers, they can be selected. In addition to loyalty, those who use high-energy guns are also outstanding in personal strength. Compared with other soldiers, it is inevitable that they will have some superior thoughts.

Tang Chen was dressed in a straight combat uniform, without a trace of a smile on his face. He looked coldly at the soldiers boarding the vehicle. When the last soldier got on the troop carrier, he raised his hand and looked at his watch. The time was more than ten seconds faster than he had planned. Only then did his expression calm down.

He and Wei Xu are currently in charge of the military defense of the No. 2 stronghold. It seems that Ma Jianyao has no idea of ​​appointing a military chief for the time being, but this does not prevent the two of them from competing with each other. In terms of time, Tang Chen used the time when Wei Xu's men boarded the car as a standard. As long as they were faster than them, he was satisfied. Otherwise, these soldiers would suffer a lot.

The dragon whisperers and soldiers under them are also very aware of the open and secret struggle between the two chiefs, and they complain endlessly, because once they lose, they will definitely use them to vent their anger. However, I can only do my best to not let the officer lose face

Sure enough, Tang Chen's expression softened, but Wei Xu's complexion turned ugly. He glared at his subordinates with hatred. These subordinates couldn't help feeling cold, knowing that they must have nothing good to eat, and they all had mournful faces.

After Tang Chen got on the car, the four wheels of the armed off-road vehicle spun simultaneously and rushed out amidst the harsh sound of tire friction, and soon rushed to the front of the convoy. Other vehicles also started to follow, and the smoke dragon formed by dust floated higher

Ma Jianyao stood upstairs before landing and watched the convoy gradually go away, then turned around and asked, "Are you still clueless?"

The place where he is located is a temporary laboratory. A few scientific researchers in white coats are busy, and Jiang Qiuyi is also leaning over the microscope to observe something. Hearing his voice, Jiang Qiuyi raised her head and sighed: "It's strange that all the None of the research and analysis revealed any problems.”

Ma Jianyao frowned, "Could it be that I'm overthinking?"

"It's not necessarily true," Jiang Qiuyi said, "It's also possible that there are some microorganisms in the world that we can't discover with our current technology, unless..."

"Unless something"

"Unless a ** test is carried out," Jiang Qiuyi said: "Let some people live in the boundary, we will always pay attention to their movements, and conduct tests and physical examinations on them every day. If there is any abnormality, we can find out and conduct research in the first place."

"What will happen if the experiment fails?" Ma Jianyao frowned deeply

"It can't be said for sure. There may be no problems, or it may cause genetic mutation or death. It may be cruel, but it is the only feasible method."

After a moment of silence, Ma Jianyao said, "I'll think about it."
