Chapter 53 Entering the City



Never mind, it’s not like I can’t survive now.

Qiao Xuejun gave up the idea of relying on the heroine to win easily, and started listening to the people below.

"I heard that this place is easy to defend but hard to attack. I really want to die from being chased by those bastards of the defense army."

"The defense army is nothing. Haven't we been fighting back and forth for such a long time? The annoying thing is that after coming to the south, we met the lord of the first base, the one from the Mountain Leopard Squadron. He just robbed us of many things."

Qiao Xuejun reacted and realized that this seemed to be referring to Zhao Xian.

The rebels cursed a few times and continued to complain: "We can't even get enough food."

“…”

The troops below were in a long line. Qiao Xuejun took a quick look at the formation and estimated that there would be thousands of rebels here. She listened to them passing by below and took in their words.

The troops at the foot of the mountain left and headed forward. Qiao Xuejun turned back and said, "I don't know what's going on. Let's go home first."

The hill that the rebels were going to was burned out by a fire. There are no resources on it. They may come to settle somewhere else. Moreover, the two teams of rebels stationed here were all burned to death. No one knows what they will do.

"good."

Wang Juanfeng and the carpenter saw the army passing by below and naturally realized the seriousness of the situation. They immediately packed up the chopped wood and went home.

Kuang Qianli was grinding stone chips at home. Seeing them come back early, he was puzzled: "The sun came out earlier today? You guys are back so soon?"

It was more than an hour earlier than the previous time, and I had just left the house.

Wang Juanfeng looked nervous and walked up to Kuang Qianli and told him about the rebel army he had seen outside today.

"It looks like there are at least one or two thousand people."

This number is not considered large for the army, but if they are just dealing with small town residents, there are enough of them and it doesn't take any effort at all.

Kuang Qianli's face turned grim after hearing this: "The radio said that the rebel army was beaten and scattered by the defending army. There were originally tens of thousands of people, but now they are separated. It seems that the largest group has come to us. Why did they come to our town?"

This town has few resources and few people, and is not a battleground that is fought over by military strategists.

Qiao Xuejun had heard this - the Seventh Lord told the rebel leader that the mountain had a special climate that could be used to escape the summer heat, and that there was a water source, so the rebels came.

As for why the Seventh Lord knew this, it must have been detected by her system.

Qiao Xuejun said: "They were heading towards the burned mountain. I guess the rebels who were stationed there reported the special features of that mountain, so their large force came here."

"The concern now is whether they will pursue this matter."

All the subordinates stationed here were sacrificed, and the mountain that was originally set their sights on was also burned... If the rebels want to investigate, what will they do?

Fortunately, those rebels did not survive, and even the grandfather and grandson of the Qiao family who had always been at odds with Qiao Xuejun were gone, so it was impossible for the rebels to find out about them for a while. If they were not targeted, their empty house would have been able to escape disaster.

The remaining three people also began to look anxious. If it was just the eight or ten rebels at the beginning, they might still be able to deal with them. But this group of people are now carrying hot weapons! Moreover, there are thousands of people. It is impossible for their small courtyard to stop them.

Qiao Xuejun: "Turn on the radio and pay attention to today's news. It seems that they were just driven out of the First Base."

The young carpenter quickly ran to the small table, turned on the radio, and tuned to the national wartime emergency broadcast.

"...On June 20, the Defense Army and the First Base launched a military operation to carry out precision strikes against the rebels. The rebels have been completely defeated, and we have seized a number of prisoners and weapons... The remnants of the rebels are now fleeing to the south. We hope that residents will be cautious and follow the principle of not going out unless necessary... Residents who have the conditions can report the rebels' route clues to the Defense Army... We are now announcing the radio frequency that the Defense Army uses to receive signals..."

Qiao Xuejun heard a string of data reported on the radio.

It can connect to the defense army's radio station frequency and provide it to residents with radios to report to the defense army.

Kuang Qianli: "It's a pity that we don't have a radio."

The carpenter was curious: "What is that?"

Qiao Xuejun: "Intercom, when you see some security staff in supermarkets or communities, they usually communicate through intercoms."

The carpenter: "Oh, I see. Can we contact each other without the Internet?"

The young carpenter had already followed his grandfather to do carpentry work when he should have been studying, and he did not know this knowledge.

Qiao Xuejun: "Communication is done through radio waves, which is different from mobile phones. It doesn't require the Internet."

She looked at Kuang Qianli: "You don't have one? Aren't you an outdoor person? What if you end up in a place deep in the mountains and forests where there's no base station coverage? Don't you need a radio?"

Kuang Qianli: "I am doing a live broadcast of cycling! Live broadcasts must be done in places with internet. Why would I go to the deep mountains and forests!"

Wang Juanfeng looked at the radio and said, "Wait and see what the rebels do. They have just been defeated, so they may not come down the mountain to cause trouble. As long as they don't touch us, we don't have to worry. We just have to wait for the defense army to find them."

Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "No, I have to go to the city."

She couldn't just wait passively. Those rebels were vicious and cruel, so how could she bet on whether they would cause trouble? There was no way around it! And their soldiers kept crying out for food on the way.
