The First Order

Ren Xiaosu had a long dream.

In the dream, the potato shooter he and Yang Xiaojin planted in the small courtyard of Anning East Road actually bloomed.

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

However, in an instant a huge flame ignited in the world, and everything was burnt.

The whole world was filled with a strong stench, like the smell of burnt leather pipes, mixed with a smell of old vinegar.

Ren Xiaosu slowly opened his eyes and saw Da Huyou sitting next to his bed picking his big feet.

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

Ren Xiaosu said blankly, "Take your smelly feet and get out of here!"

"You're awake, young marshal," Da Huyou lifted his shoes with surprise on his face: "You have been awake for a long time. I thought there was something wrong with your body!"

"How long did I sleep?" Ren Xiaosu asked. He raised his eyes and saw that P5092, Wang Yun, Ji Ziang, Xun Yeyu and others were all crowded in the dormitory of the post.

"Sixteen hours," Da Huyou said: "We rushed over after receiving the notice from Commander Zhang. Little Jin and Yingxue were guarding outside, and our elders were guarding inside."

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

"He said that you may have not rested for a long time, and you will be more vulnerable when you sleep, so let us guard it to prevent you from any accidents," Da Huyou said.

Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu hadn't slept for more than forty hours, and had experienced the intense escape of being expelled by the dusk. It was indeed a bit unsustainable.

With his alertness, he didn't even notice the approach of Da Huyou and others.

However, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that it was also possible that he subconsciously felt that Da Fudge could trust them, so he was not awakened.

When he was living in the market town before, Yan Liuyuan would not awaken him when he was near.

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

"The entire combat headquarters thought that we might retreat," Da Huyou said.

Today, 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 can't actually confirm whether Zero really controls the entire Central Plains.

However, people who like to gamble on fluke have always lost miserably in wars, so the Northwest Army immediately decided to formulate combat strategies with the worst plan under the conditions of uncertainty.

East of Fort 178, such as Barrier No. 146, Barrier No. 144, Barrier No. 145, and Barrier No. 143 are all located in the plains.

The areas controlled by these barriers are not suitable for large-scale wars at all. If they insist on holding these places, the Northwest Army’s losses may increase by 30%.

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

It is impossible for Zhang Jinglin to gamble tens of thousands of lives on how many enemies there are.

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

The terrain there is more suitable for defense.

Da Huyou said: "If the entire Central Plains has been controlled by artificial intelligence, then the 143 barrier is not our end. There must be alternatives to the retreat plan."

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

"Withdraw to Fort 178," Da Huyou replied.

Ren Xiaosu frowned. If the situation is so bad, it will mean that the Northwest is facing the largest migration since the wasteland era.

Not only the army will withdraw, but also the people here.

That is millions of residents and refugees, how can they say that they will withdraw.

But if you don't take the residents to retreat, is there any violation of the original intention of the Northwest Army? Let alone leave so many people to zero, I am afraid that human civilization will be even more dangerous.

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

"He arrived at Barrier No. 144 this afternoon," Da Huyou said, "The plan for the whole people to move westward and retreat must begin today."

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

Ren Xiaosu got up: "All follow me back to Barrier No. 144 and inform Zhou Yinglong that the frontline outposts will also be evacuated, and they will report back to their own combat sequence. Don't stay here to increase casualties."

At this time everyone realized that Ren Xiaosu had already entered the role of marshal.

Zhou Yinglong was the commander of the Third Field Division, and if Ren Xiaosu could not be able to command him as the chief officer of the Sixth Field Division alone, he would have to use the status of a marshal.

But the big flicker froze for a moment: "That's not good, marshal, these outposts were originally established for war. Each outpost has worked so hard to set up a telephone line, originally for the purpose of investigating the enemy and buying time for the rear troops. Sacrifice. Although it is something that everyone does not want to see, but if they retreat, we will really be blind. At that time, no one knows where the enemy will arrive and when they will come down."

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

"Hey!" The big maid outside the window agreed: "What is the master calling me?"

Ren Xiaosu said: "When we are gone, you will stay in this post, and you will report the enemy's situation to the rear immediately, and then you will leave alone."

"Oh," Zhou Yingxue reluctantly replied.

With Zhou Yingxue here, no one could keep her even if the enemy arrived.

Big Huyou and P5092 looked at each other. Everyone wanted to put an extraordinary person like Zhou Yingxue here as a sentry. Is it appropriate?

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

Ren Xiaosu tidyed up his clothes and went out. 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 League?"

"Yeah," Ren Xiaosu nodded.

"Thank you, master," Zhou Yingxue smiled with open eyebrows.

At this time, Zhou Yingxue hadn't fully realized the seriousness of the problem. To be honest, after this battle, there is still the title of Barrier Alliance, and Ren Xiaosu is not sure.

However, they found out about the big flicker. Don't look at how powerful this girl Zhou Yingxue is in the black market and barrier No. 144. When the young marshal and the young lady Jin, she behaved like a kitten.

On the way back, Ren Xiaosu saw in the car that someone in the roadside river was driving a digging machine to dredge some tributaries.

Da Huyou explained to the co-pilot: "I saw that the water conservancy project is halfway through, and the area of ​​farmland irrigation has reached half. It is a pity to withdraw from Fort 178 like this."

Ren Xiaosu stared 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 his hopeful home.

Yang Xiaojin on the side seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and suddenly squeezed his palm: "We did not leave here because we were unlucky with you, but because there is no peace in this world. You did not bring this chaotic world. It is not caused by you. On the contrary, with you guarding this land, I believe we will be able to win."

Ren Xiaosu nodded.

In fact, whether it is Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, Qingyi of Qing clan, or Ren Xiaosu, Da Huyou, Zhang Jinglin and others on the side of Fort 178.

When guessing what kind of power artificial intelligence zero holds, in fact, there will be a sense of powerlessness.

That is the sense of despair that a hundred-meter-high tsunami is coming towards you, but you have nowhere to escape.

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

Yang Xiaojin suddenly said in a low voice, "It may be selfish to say this, but no matter what the situation is, I don't want you to sacrifice yourself to save other people. You can't save me, understand? We must find other ways. of."

After going to the 88th barrier, there is no secret between Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, so Yang Xiaojin also knows what Ren Xiaosu's last resort is.

But for her, if the price of saving the world is to sacrifice Ren Xiaosu, then she is unwilling to 10,000.

Ren Xiaosu smiled: "I won't be there."

...

The group first returned to the garrison camp of the Sixth Field Division. After all the core members entered the meeting room, Ren Xiaosu pointed out the topic: "The content of the discussion today is how to arrange the orderly evacuation of the residents of the entire northwest. Remember, organize their evacuation. It is by no means the benevolence of women, and we cannot leave them to artificial intelligence."

Zhang Xiaoman wondered: "Is there really so many nano-robots in artificial intelligence? There are millions of people in the northwest. Can it control so many?"

"We can only plan for the worst now," P5092 explained: "We don't know if it has this ability, but we can only assume that it can. We have to prepare with two hands now, one is to retreat and the other is to meet the enemy. "

The work of retreat involves too many things. The destruction of confidential documents, the transfer of food reserves, the transfer of various materials, the registration of personnel transfers, how to transfer in batches, and how to set up supply lines on the retreat are actually a very large amount. engineering.

It's definitely not that it's as simple as telling the residents to run quickly, and then everyone will escape together.

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

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

This half a month must be worked out.

The No. 144 barrier was the closest barrier to the Central Plains, and the Sixth Field Division, as the No. 144 barrier garrison, was obliged to do so.

Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and looked at P5092: "You can retreat with the original fire troops and participate in the construction of the rear defense line. I will tell Mr. Zhang about this. Zhou Yinglong’s third field division is on the way south, and will be They finished the change of defense."

Earlier, he reached an agreement with P5092 that after World War I, the original Tinder troops will withdraw from the battle sequence and will no longer participate in the civil war between the Barrier Alliance.

Therefore, during this period of time, the black fox offloaded command tasks to bring new recruits, and all the fire soldiers went to help build water conservancy projects, and a small part of them went to help the residents of the barriers with grain field reclamation work.

At this moment, the black fox should be leading the recruits on the way to pull fertilizer.

However, after Ren Xiaosu said this, P5092 shook his head: "It's different. This is no longer a civil war between the Barrier Alliance. It is a war that concerns the survival of mankind. The soldiers of the original fire troops will return to In my position, I have just notified Black Fox to come back to attend the meeting."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the meeting room was pushed open by the black fox.

An ugly smell of chemical fertilizer permeated the entire conference room. The black fox looked at Ren Xiaosu and P5092 and asked, "Sir, what do I need to do to call me back?"

P5092 said calmly: "You need to take your brothers to pick up the weapon again."
