ultimate cannon fodder

Ma Jianyao rotated his seat 180 degrees and faced the floor-to-ceiling window. The overcast clouds that filled the sky were extremely low. Looking far away, only a finger-width of light showed above the horizon. Below were the ruins. .Except for the main building of the stronghold, there is almost no complete building visible. During the fierce battle, the only thing Ma Jianyao can try to protect is the main building where he is currently. Although his domain can cover more areas, it consumes He also has a lot of energy. In an emergency, he has to use every bit of energy carefully and carefully. He doesn't dare to waste it at all. He is like a stingy miser.

It seems that in just ten days, the earth has turned from heaven to hell. Fortunately, although the place he can see is in chaos, it is not as dead as before. There is not even a breath of life. Ma Jianyao can sense cockroaches under the ruins. , active figures of rats and various mosquitoes. And in the distance, from time to time, people fleeing with their families are running towards here. Their hurried figures are shaking in the ruins of the city. It is a scene of doomsday. .

"Alliance leader, we can no longer accept refugees. The stronghold is already overcrowded and the food consumption is too great. If this continues, we will be out of food in ten days at most." Behind Ma Jianyao, Wei Xu said anxiously. Bian glanced at Qiu Hongxin. He knew that in Ma Jianyao's mind, Qiu Hongxin's words carried more weight than him.

Qiu Hongxin was not ready to speak at first, but was forced by Wei Xu and was helpless. He echoed: "Yes, Alliance Leader. I know your idea is good. But if the logistics supply cannot keep up, it is better to do it with good intentions." It's a bad thing. It's better to let the people behind to try their luck elsewhere. Maybe they can survive."

After the war, the massive revenge of the Wolf Stars did not come as everyone expected. Instead, many frightened refugees came one after another. Some of them drove cars and some walked. Their faces were full of despair and despair of the approaching doomsday. In a hurry, when I saw that there were actually a large number of Dragon Whisperers guarding the stronghold, everyone was like a drowning person who had found a life-saving straw. They ran away one after another, begging for shelter and food. Some of them had even been there for several days. Haven't eaten anything.

They also brought the news from the outside world that Ma Jianyao and other Dragon Whisperers had been waiting for. However, most of the news was bad. Qiu Hongxin marked it on the map. When he learned which city had fallen, he marked it on the map. This area was painted red. However, as the refugees continued to arrive and the information from their mouths was collected, almost all the cities around the stronghold turned red. The location of the stronghold was in a sea of ​​red. The land may be submerged by the sea at any time.

The Wolf Stars invaded on a large scale, occupying and destroying more and more places. However, the federal government and the Ministry of Military Affairs seemed to have no solution at all. It was quite disappointing.

The increasing number of refugees has also put great pressure on the logistics support of the stronghold. When the Nachuan organization evacuated, it left behind a lot of strategic materials. If there were only these 300 people from the Free Alliance, at least within a year There are no worries about ammunition and food. But as of now, the number of refugees accommodated in the stronghold has reached thousands. Every other place in the main building except the temporary command room and passageway is packed. Even the corridors are full of people.

For a time, not only was the food consumed too much, but the toilets and bathrooms were also unable to meet demand. Even if the stronghold had complete ventilation equipment, the stench would still fill the sky after several days. All the smells were mixed together, even if they were dozens of meters away. You can also smell the turbid, strong and ever-changing odor.

Everyone can understand and overcome this special period, but there are still a steady stream of refugees joining in. So everyone can't calm down. There are constant complaints. There are even conflicts with some unruly refugees. Wei Xu There was really no other way, so he instigated Qiu Hongxin to come together to find Ma Jianyao. He hoped that Ma Jianyao would change his mind and stop accommodating new refugees.

"I understand what you mean. I also know that continuing like this is not the answer. But..." Ma Jianyao turned around and took a deep look at them. He sighed and said, "For them, we are the only place where they have children." Hope. They finally escaped from the Wolf Stars. How could I bear to push them out and ignore them."

Looking at the compassionate expression on Ma Jianyao's face, Qiu Hongxin couldn't help but feel a slight touch in his heart. But this touch only passed by for a moment, and was overwhelmed by reality and reason. He said: "When doing good deeds, you must do your best. It's like a boat. Same. You cannot ignore the maximum load limit. Otherwise, no one will be able to survive if the ship capsizes. With this situation, it is better to ensure that everyone on the ship is alive."

Ma Jianyao hesitated for a moment and then said tentatively: "What do you think about sending them to the border? The base also needs people. Of course, the premise is that they are willing."

"It's not impossible. It's just that the number of people that can be accommodated at the base is also limited. After all, food and drinking water are also big problems. Food is easier to handle. It is unlikely to increase the capacity of water purification treatment in the short term." Qiu Hongxin thought about it. said.

"We can solve some problems. Anyway, we need to constantly expand our living space on the other side of the world. Let these people stand in front of us. I'm afraid it will intensify the conflict with the Pleiadians."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Even if we don't go, the Pleiades will still attack us. If they come, just destroy them." Wei Xu said carelessly.

"It's not that simple." Ma Jianyao shook his head and said: "We are now fighting with all our strength against the Wolf Stars. If the Pleiades are provoked to attack in large numbers, then we will fight on two fronts. We will inevitably fail. Therefore, we can not provoke the Pleiades the most. It’s good but not exciting. In fact, the realm is so big and the number of Pleiadians is small. We can all survive and develop together.”

"I'm afraid no one will want to go." Qiu Hongxin said worriedly.

"It's not up to them. If you don't go, get out. We don't have idle people here." Wei Xu said angrily. Thousands of people poured into the stronghold. These days have made him depressed and troubled. The most annoying ones are some people with some status. After the refugees arrived here, they were still bossy. They either asked to live in a single room or to turn on a small stove. If Ma Jianyao hadn't given instructions in advance, Wei Xu would have wanted to slap them in the face a few times and tell them to get out.

"It's really not up to them." Although Tianma Jianyao has not come forward these days, of course what happened in the stronghold cannot be hidden from him. He also finds it funny. At this time of crisis, life and death are uncertain, he still doesn't forget to show off. It's really not good. You know what's going on in these people's minds.

Ma Jianyao pondered: "First mobilize some people to go to the boundary. But you must explain it clearly to them beforehand. The boundary is also very dangerous. Don't think that you will enjoy peace and happiness after passing there. At the same time, organize the men. According to their respective strengths Distribute work. It is best to clean and repair the small buildings near the stronghold and relocate some personnel. In addition, send people to search outwards centered on the stronghold and collect all useful things. We must increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Otherwise support It won’t be long.”

"We should have done this a long time ago." Wei Xu shouted: "How can it be such a good thing to just eat and not do anything? The men have organized themselves. As for the women, we can't let them all be idle."

Ma Jianyao couldn't help but have a headache. There were both men and women who fled. Of course, the number of men was more. The number of women was only a little more than one-tenth of the total. But it was still a large number. "Except for the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, all of them Everyone has to do something. Women's physical strength is weaker. Try not to let them do physical work. Instead, let them do other tasks. For example, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the sick, etc. We don't have that much energy to do it. Manage them. It is best to let them choose some leaders and just do what we ask."

"Okay. I will arrange this as soon as I get down." Qiu Hongxin said, "But the food problem is still imminent. Once there is a shortage of food, there will definitely be trouble."

"Let me figure this out." Ma Jianyao felt a heavy sense of responsibility for the first time. In the past, he only fought for himself. As long as he could survive, but now he has thousands of mouths to speak. His every move and every thought is It may determine the life or death of these people. Logically speaking, he does not have any obligations to these people. It is the responsibility of the federal government to protect these people. But since these people have fled here and begged for his asylum, how could he ignore them? existence.

Ma Jianyao had already thought about it. He had to go to nearby cities to collect as many kinds of food as possible. Fortunately, after joining Nachuan, he got three 100 cubic meters of space bags. One trip can hold 300 cubic meters of food. .It can solve some urgent needs to some extent. As for the future, we can only talk about it later. He can't think of that much now.

"Where is the magic potion? Can it be used by everyone?" Qiu Hongxin asked before leaving.

After hearing Qiu Hongxin's question, Ma Jianyao rubbed his nose with a headache. This batch of demonic potion was specially sent by Jiang Qiuyi after Ye Qiang. It is said to be an improved type II. It has no side effects. It will restrict and affect the improvement of combat power in the future. Jiang Qiuyi said it categorically. But Ma Jianyao was always a little worried for no reason. He thought about it and said: "Everyone can choose for himself. If you are willing, just take the injection. If you are not willing, forget it. If you don't do it, don't do it. Force it."

Qiu Hongxin nodded and went out with Wei Xu.

After going out, Wei Xu seemed a little confused and asked: "What do you think the alliance leader means? He doesn't want everyone to be injected with the magic potion. Doesn't he want everyone's combat power to be improved?"

"Every gain must come with a loss." Qiu Hongxin glanced at him and said meaningfully: "It depends on how you choose."
