Chapter 785: Helping
The government's main focus is on defending against foreign enemies. The security at the base gate is so strict that not even a fly can get in, and tanks and planes are on standby 24 hours a day.
As for the interior of the base, there were only patrols to check the security. Who would have thought that the leaders' lair would be robbed in the end?
Of course, Li Mingcheng was not a fool. Annan saw from the air that the soldiers were divided into two groups, most of them were outside to harvest the thugs, and the other small group was in the family compound to resist the foreign enemy.
The ones outside must be reinforcements, and the ones inside are naturally the guards prepared in advance by Li Mingcheng.
In the past, there were only two people guarding the gate of the family compound. Even if there were guards in the building, there would not be so many soldiers added together.
It can be seen that Li Mingcheng had also made preparations for unrest early on and strengthened the defense of his residence.
But he probably didn't expect that the thugs would be so fierce.
Just like the formation outside the south wall, Annan had never thought of it before.
However, the battle situation below at this time is different from that in the villa area.
In the battle of the villa area, the enemy and our side are clearly divided, with the south wall as the boundary, each occupying one side. Therefore, there is no need to restrain the use of explosives or fighter planes, as long as the firepower is concentrated outside the south wall.
But there was a melee in the family compound, with thugs and soldiers all crowded together, and the walls were also covered with thugs with bloodshot eyes.
If fighter planes and tanks were deployed to bomb, not only would their own people be injured, but the walls of their own courtyards would also be blown down. For every 1,000 enemies killed, 800 of their own people would be injured.
So until now they can only rely on manpower to fight.
But facing such a large number of excited thugs, how could it be so easy to fight with human power?
Annan looked and saw that some of the thugs below were still holding guns, the models and styles of which were the same as those in the hands of the soldiers. It was obvious that they were snatched from the sacrificed soldiers.
The fighting between the two sides was fierce, with countless casualties.
Annan asked Gu Zhiyu: "Will you help?"
Gu Zhiyu said without hesitation: "Go out."
If something happens to the family compound, I don’t know what will happen to the official base in the future.
It is highly likely that the situation will be completely chaotic, just like the Linbei District before. Even if a new leader takes office and restores order, the change of leadership will not necessarily allow the villa area to live as peacefully as it does now.
What's more, I have never lost money by doing favors for Li Mingcheng.
Annan nodded: "Okay. Go ahead!"
The two piloted the fighter plane and circled it in the sky for a while, looking for an opportunity to attack. Soon, they lowered the flight altitude and prepared to attack.
In order not to hurt the wrong soldiers, they had to strike with great precision.
The target was set at the center of the mob army. That location was full of mobs, not even a single soldier.
The noise of the fighter planes was so loud that the people below had already noticed it.
However, these thugs did not take the circling fighter plane seriously at all. They were sure that it would not dare to drop bombs and destroy everything, so they continued to fight their own battle with red eyes.
Who knew that when the fight was getting intense, ice knives suddenly started raining from the sky.
The crowd suddenly became chaotic, and the thugs who were stabbed like hedgehogs screamed heartbreakingly and struggled in pain.
The thugs in the outer circle were inevitably stabbed and poisoned by their "hedgehog companions" beside them.
The soldiers, however, were safe and uninjured because of the "isolation zone" formed by the outer circle of thugs. Annan and Gu Zhiyu also shot accurately, aiming at the middle position.
The thugs in the center were pierced by thousands of arrows, the thugs on the periphery were poisoned, and those who escaped were pushing and shoving to avoid in panic, causing a stampede.
The soldiers took advantage of the chaos to reverse the situation, attacked the rioters with guns, and harvested the remaining ones alive.
Annan and Gu Zhiyu in the air saw the situation turning against them, so they felt relieved and withdrew.
The two men drove the plane around again and inspected the entire base. Other places were very quiet, only in the supermarket there were still some thugs.
However, the number is much less than that outside the south wall and in the family compound.
The supermarket has always been strictly guarded, with heavy troops guarding it 24 hours a day on weekdays. Recently, several times more troops have been sent in, and they are surrounding the supermarket with heavy machine guns.
Since the warehouse contained a lot of important materials of the base, almost all the troops were deployed here. Even when something happened in the family compound and a large number of reinforcements were dispatched, the guards here were still not affected.
At this time, the ground outside the supermarket was littered with the bodies of the thugs, and it seemed that the battle would soon be over.
Annan and Gu Zhiyu circled in the air, and when they saw that no support was needed, they left directly.
After putting away the fighter plane, changing into the car and returning to the villa area, I found Ma Qiangzhuang and his men waiting at the side door.
Seeing Annan and his partner's car, she immediately came over and said, "Girl! Are you okay?"
Annan rolled down the car window, looked at him, and shook his head to indicate that everything was fine.
Ma Qiangzhuang's face turned red and his voice became a little softer: "I'm really sorry, sister, we are late!"
"I was half asleep and was awakened by the sound of gunfire. I heard it coming from the base, but I thought it had nothing to do with our villa area, so I ignored it and lay down again. I didn't expect that we were also attacked..."
"When the explosives exploded, I reacted belatedly and led my men here, but fighter planes were already dropping poison hail..."
Seeing his face full of sincerity and embarrassment, Annan didn't bother to figure out whether what he said was true or false.
After all, they killed the enemies very quickly and the battle was over in no time.
And even if Ma Qiangzhuang came, he couldn't help much.
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner villa, and the enemies are all outside the south wall. Annan cannot let him bring people into the inner villa, and it is even more impossible to let them go outside the south wall to die in vain.
So he waved his hands nonchalantly and typed out a sentence:
"Brother Ma, there's no need to apologize. I naturally believe you. After all, we are all in the same boat. If I fail to hold on here, you will also be finished..."
Ma Qiangzhuang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I understand this principle! I really didn't mean it this time."
Annan smiled and said, "Brother Ma, don't blame yourself. We don't mind. We still need to cooperate and help each other in the future. We still need Brother Ma's help to deal with the corpses outside!"
Ma Qiangzhuang immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course! Of course! We brothers will take care of cleaning up the bodies! We couldn't even help in the war, so how can we let you worry about the aftermath!"
He also praised her in passing: "Sister An, you are really amazing. You even remembered to keep the poisonous ice knife."
After a pause, he sighed and said, "It's because you have that kind of strength. Even if I wanted to save some poison ice knives for future use, I don't have the conditions to store them, let alone get a fighter plane..."
