Chapter 381 Survival of the Fittest
When Li Yu'e heard that it was an official from Yancheng who leaked the information, she didn't quite believe it. But then she thought about it and understood what was going on.
She looked at Xia Xiaoman and said in a deep voice: "The senior officials in other cities may not be unaware that the official in Yancheng is leaking information. Maybe they deliberately let the official in Yancheng leak information. In this way, the problem of insufficient space in the underground city can be solved."
Xia Xiaoman's face changed drastically when he heard this. So that's how it is. If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
When the first city broke the news about the ozone layer, meteorite shower, etc., the top leaders of other cities must have received the notification.
The weather was freezing cold, and the roads were blocked by snow. If the top leaders wanted to stop the news from spreading to their city, they could have done so. But instead of stopping it, they allowed it to develop and spread.
She had felt something was a bit strange before. The garrison had already turned into purgatory. Why didn't the authorities call back the soldiers who built the underground city to suppress the rioters? No matter how important the underground city was, it was not as important as so many lives!
I'm afraid the higher-ups just want to use this riot to reduce the population of the garrison, preferably to a level that can be accommodated by two underground cities.
At this moment, Xia Xiaoman inexplicably felt that they were all a group of trapped animals, trapped in the garrison and fighting. Just like the survival of the fittest in nature, only those who survived the constant fighting were qualified to enter the underground city.
"Actually, from the perspective of the top management, they are right to do so. If they don't reduce the population now, when the underground city is developed, the scene will definitely be even more chaotic than it is now."
Li Yu'e continued, "Instead of causing trouble later, it's better to make things worse before the underground city is developed. The bigger the better. When the population of the garrison is controlled to the number they want, they will take action to rectify it."
Xiao Zheyu, who was standing by, heard this and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. "If the population is reduced by violence, then why should ordinary people who are trying hard to survive bother to earn points? In the end, they will just become someone else's wedding dress."
Li Yu'e was silent for a moment. "This is how the world is. There is no absolute fairness. Survival of the fittest. If you want to live, you have to adapt to the current rules, even if these rules are not fair at all."
Everyone fell silent. Although they knew that even without this disaster, when the meteor shower came, some people would still die because they could not enter the dungeon. But that was a disaster that could not be avoided or stopped, and now...
Suddenly, the door was opened and Su Ran rushed in, "Sister Yu'e, there are enemies attacking, there are so many people, roughly five or six hundred!"
"Why are there so many people?" Xia Xiaoman frowned.
Su Ran explained: "They were all attracted by the Spacers. Some were from other gangs, some were thugs who had just formed a group, and some were ordinary people who coveted the Spacers."
Xia Xiaoman asked: "Are they taking action now?"
Su Ran nodded, "Yes, the fight has already started. They came prepared. They knew that we would sneak attack us while lying on the ground in rabbit fur coats, so they froze some ice cubes to hit us."
Xia Xiaoman murmured, "How could they act so quickly? The time I inquired about was clearly evening."
Li Yu'e picked up the machete and said, "Nowadays, no one has a watch or alarm clock, so they just rely on their instincts. The night you heard about may not necessarily be the night when they will start the fight."
"Xiao Zheyu, send Xiaoman away. Su Ran, let's go and meet them!" After Li Yu'e said this, she strode out with a machete in her hand.
Xia Xiaoman raised her leg to catch up, but was blocked by a hand. Xiao Zheyu looked at her with embarrassment, "Sister Xiaoman, please be kind and leave with me! If Sister Yu'e sees that you are not leaving, she will definitely hang me up and beat me up."
Xia Xiaoman glanced at him and said, "Is it because I haven't used an axe for so long that you have forgotten how powerful I am?"
"Sister, please don't make things difficult for me." Xiao Zheyu looked at her with a headache.
"Stop talking nonsense. Instead of wasting time, you might as well kill two more people." Xia Xiaoman stuffed two grenades into Xiao Zheyu's hands. "Take them to save your life!" After saying that, she walked straight out of the Lingxu Gang.
It was pitch dark outside and nothing could be seen. In order to avoid killing her companions by mistake, Li Yu'e had people light torches. The torches were coated with snow vine juice and could not be easily blown out even by strong winds.
In the light of the fire, Xia Xiaoman saw that the scene was in chaos. Everyone was fighting in a ball. The white snow on the ground was dyed red. Broken limbs and arms were everywhere. There were also some fearless steel-toothed rabbits that were running to the corner with broken limbs and arms in their mouths.
Xia Xiaoman did not rush forward. She observed for more than ten seconds, then took out her pistol and shot the most violent leaders.
After killing six people in a row, someone noticed Xia Xiaoman and called a few brothers to surround her. Xia Xiaoman quickly put away her pistol and drew out her Tang sword to sweep across. The people standing in front dodged in time and were not cut by the Tang sword, but their clothes were cut open and cold wind rushed in.
Then, Xia Xiaoman turned around and swept across again. After forcing all these people to retreat and gaining a safe distance for himself, he rushed to one of them with a quick step, grasped the Tang sword and chopped it down. Then he dodged the attack sideways and cut off the other person's head with one sword.
More and more people gathered around her. Xia Xiaoman was like a ruthless killing machine, repeating the movements of sweeping, slashing, and stabbing with her backhand. More and more people fell at her feet, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were piled up like a mountain.
Maodan was no less capable. Relying on his fast speed and good vision, he would sneak into dark places and bite his enemies as soon as he caught them. Each bite was so deep that the bone could be seen, ensuring that the opponent would be crippled if not killed.
Suddenly, Xiao Zheyu shouted, "All those from Lingxu Gang, return them to me!"
When Xia Xiaoman heard the sound, he immediately broke through the encirclement and retreated 20 to 30 meters. Although the others didn't understand why, they were obedient enough to retreat.
Seeing that the people from the Lingxu Gang had almost retreated, Xiao Zheyu threw grenades towards two crowded places.
The explosion of the grenade frightened some people. Li Yu'e rushed forward with her men before they could react.
But there were too many people on the other side. Li Yu'e and her companions had been fighting with others for four or five days in a row, and their physical functions had not yet fully recovered. Soon, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At this moment, two well-trained troops came running over and surrounded them all. Following an order, the soldiers simultaneously raised their rifles and aimed forward.
"Everyone stop! I'll count to three. If you don't stop, I'll shoot you immediately!"
A deep and powerful voice came from the loudspeaker. Xia Xiaoman looked in the direction of the voice and saw soldiers with guns surrounding them. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I came a little late, I still kept my promise.
