In the following days, Lin Xiaoman did not travel, but waited for the upgrade and kept an eye on the situation on the battlefield.
Lin Xiaoman originally thought that the military forces of Southwest State could last at least a week, but he never expected that the war would end on the third day.
Just three short days!
Perhaps the bosses held a meeting and realized that they could no longer hold on to the Southwest State, so they decided to give up.
Strategic retreat is sometimes a helpless move.
The team's retreat was obvious on the surveillance footage. Xiao Han sighed, "They're giving up."
Although he had seen a lot in his previous life, Xiao Han felt a sense of desolation when he saw such a large state with a population of 100 million being abandoned.
Uh, this idiom is probably not quite right, anyway it’s an indescribable feeling.
Once you lose your position at the top of the food chain, it will become a tragedy!
Xiao Han knew that all seven human states on the satellite had been massacred by the Zerg. The final situation was that the civilians had established bases of various sizes, while the military had built five major survival areas based on the existing military bases.
Before the frontline collapsed and Dongzhou fell, the entire satellite had a population of 1 billion. However, when he left the satellite, the total population of the bases that could be contacted was less than 50 million. Even including those who had not yet been counted, it was probably only 60 million.
For nearly forty years to come, the satellite will be a purgatory for humans.
"They're retreating." Lin Xiaoman sighed inwardly, his face expressionless. "Southwest Province will soon be the next East Province."
The military's retreat was a smooth one, and the Zerg clearly knew the armed forces were a tough nut to crack. Rather than engage in a desperate struggle, the Zerg ignored the retreating troops, allowing them to depart while the Zerg force charged straight into Area Three.
Inside the third area, because the retreat order was issued in advance, some people retreated, some fled, and only a few people who could not run and were waiting to die were left, so the crowd density was not high.
I don't think the Zerg will stay in Area 3 for too long.
District 3 and District 11 are separated by District 7, which is a concentration area of private processing factories mainly based on mechanization. The factory owners in District 7 are all wealthy people, and I'm afraid they have already run away on airships by now.
Without food, the Zerg would not stay in Area 7.
The straight-line distance between District 3 and District 11 is less than 200 kilometers. Lin Xiaoman estimated that the bugs would be able to crawl over within two days.
This time, it was much faster than the previous life.
"What is the Zerg's feeding pattern? When hunting, do they move as a large group or in small groups? What are the team configurations like..."
"After defeating an armed force, the Zerg that find food will build nests underground nearby. Then, the Worker Bee and Warrior classes will enter human cities to search for food. Unless they discover a large-scale armed resistance force, they will act in small groups of several to dozens of individuals.
The most common hunting troop of the Zerg is "herding." Five or six warriors carry dozens of food sacs, and within a few days, they'll be plump and plump. The food sacs serve as the Zerg's mobile food supply. Another type of troop consists of two or three warriors with seven or eight porters, who transport the sacs back to their lair. That's basically how it works. A few of the Zerg's core royals, though, enjoy fresh food or slaughter, and will emerge to forage on their own. These bosses are incredibly powerful.
"What about the communication part? Will the boss summon you before dying? And then be tragically surrounded and engulfed?"
"Research indicates that the Core class can summon Warrior class creatures, but there are range restrictions. It's said that only the Zerg Queen can perform long-range summons regardless of distance."
"Warrior-level combat power..."
“…”
The original owner, Li Fei, didn't know much, but with Xiao Han as a ready-made know-it-all, Lin Xiaoman asked everything clearly and then took action!
The sun rose in the east, shining brightly with golden light. It had rained for several days in a row, but it stopped on this day and the weather began to clear up.
The bright sunshine alone cannot illuminate the city, nor can it drive away the fear and despair in people's hearts.
Before the military retreated, the Southwest State government sent a message of defeat to all citizens of Southwest State, reminding them to run away quickly before the Zerg arrives!
Although everyone knew they had to run, with public transportation paralyzed, ordinary people without airships had no way to escape.
The densely populated areas of Southwest State are now in a state of complete chaos.
It was noisy and the usually quiet ground was now crowded with fleeing citizens.
The dense crowd, like a school of sardines, surged towards the west.
As the airship flew over the bustling crowd, one could clearly hear a chorus of "Help!"
"Mr. Xiao, where are we going?" Li Quanmao got on the airship early in the morning and was very excited and happy because he was finally going to escape to Xizhou, but now, the direction was wrong!
"Go to District 7."
"District Seven? Where are we going and what are we going to do?" Li Quanmao was shocked and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Go kill the Zerg!"
"What??"
"What?"
Li Quanmao and Li Fang said in unison, both faces filled with the same fear.
"Oh, if you don't want to go, I can let you go now."
"Mr. Xiao, this joke is not funny." Li Quanmao's face was pale.
"No kidding." Xiao Han smiled. Now he understood that although Master Yan didn't have a good relationship with these two people, they were his father and sister after all, so he couldn't just abandon them, so he took them with him.
That's all.
"Matters like defending the country should be left to the military. We ordinary citizens just need to ensure our own safety. Mr. Xiao, shall we go to Xizhou?" Li Quanmao suggested in a flattering tone.
"Uncle Li, since you are going to Xizhou, let's part ways now!" Xiao Han deliberately threatened.
"No, no, no, just pretend I didn't say anything!" Li Quanmao waved his hands quickly, then gritted his teeth and comforted himself. At worst, he could hide on the airship. Only with an airship would he have a chance of escape.
"Sister..." Seeing that Li Quanmao was unable to convince Xiao Han, Li Fang weakly called out to Lin Xiaoman, "The Zerg are very scary, aren't you afraid?"
She had already seen that this Xiao man had clearly taken a fancy to her vicious sister, and they might have slept together!
Although she was extremely angry, under the shadow of the life-threatening situation brought by the Zerg, Li Fang completely ignored the sisterly grudges and tried to pull Lin Xiaoman to the same front with a frightened look on her face.
Maybe if my sister says something, the guy surnamed Xiao will change his mind and go to Xizhou.
Unfortunately, the result was destined to disappoint her.
"Are you afraid? Killing insects, don't you know how exciting it is!" Lin Xiaoman in the front seat turned around and grinned at Li Fang.
That exaggerated smile made Li Fang feel creepy.
