ultimate cannon fodder

Chapter 149 Predicament

It was late at night, and Ma Jianyao was still sitting alone in the temporary headquarters facing a mountain of various intelligence. From time to time he would raise his head to look at the map that appeared in front of him, as if he was comparing something on it. After a long time, he

He closed his eyes tiredly and rubbed his forehead with his hands.

To be honest, these countless trivial matters made him exhausted. It was simply more difficult than the days and nights when he was chased by alien creatures in the realm. But as the leader of the Free Alliance, he could not deal with it.

He ignored these matters. Even with Qiu Hongxin and others helping to deal with them, he still needed to make decisions on many matters. Almost all of these matters were related to the well-being and livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people under his command, and there was no way he could make any mistakes.

If he didn't take it seriously, he would often have to think twice before making a decision. And every time, he felt like his brain cells had died.

Yes, there are indeed hundreds of thousands of people, and this does not include the groups that have not officially joined the Freemen's Alliance, but only work for the alliance as free persons in exchange for points. The vast majority of these groups are still dissatisfied with the federal government.

Those who have illusions and believe that the government's army can quickly wipe out the invading Wolf Stars, or whose families have a certain degree of power, status and wealth, are naturally unwilling to join this Alliance of Freemen, which they have never heard of before, although they are not allowed to do so now.

Do not rely on this alliance to survive.

The vast majority of people seem to be full of confidence in the alliance after seeing the power of Ma Jianyao and other Dragon Whisperers in person. The city they are in is not without Dragon Whisperers garrisoned. These Dragon Whisperers usually show off their power, and they cannot do it.

In this life, they were like soft-footed shrimps in front of the Wolf Stars. Without exception, they were all defeated and fled to the death. Many even pointed their weapons at civilians in order to escape for their lives and robbed their food and transportation.

The Wolf Stars are not much better.

In the Free Alliance, although points must be exchanged for labor and dedication, there has never been a similar situation. Here, as long as you follow the relevant regulations and get points, life can also be very beautiful. And those who cause trouble are all

Those who cannot escape the punishment of the Dragon Whisperer of the Alliance will be deducted points in the light case, and will be expelled from the station or even shot to death. After several bloody killings, the order is unprecedentedly good, and no one dares to challenge the bottom line of the Free Alliance.

More people have increased their confidence in the Free Alliance.

Of course, what prompted them to make up their mind to join the alliance was that for the same labor effort, alliance members received more points than others, and alliance members also had priority over others in the exchange of many scarce supplies.

.For the vast majority of people, these two benefits are great benefits. Even many people who were still a little shaken at first, or who had never thought about joining the alliance before, have also joined the alliance for these two items.

In their view, if they don't take advantage of the bargain, they must overcome the current difficulties first. After the Wolf Stars are wiped out, they can withdraw from the alliance. Does this alliance still dare to force them to withdraw? The powerful federal government

Not a vegetarian.

Regardless of what these people think, in short, more and more people are fleeing for refuge every day, and more and more people are willing to join the alliance. There are so many that Ma Jianyao has to take the initiative to attack the Wolf Stars again and again, occupying more and more places.

A large area is needed to accommodate them. But even so, the logistical pressure is increasing.

Moreover, the larger the territory, the harder it is to defend. It is no longer possible for him to cover all residential areas like before to ensure that these buildings and the residents inside will not be attacked. And the dragon whisperers under his command are also stretched thin.

, even if 50 people were urgently transferred from the realm, it would not be enough. Fortunately, among the people who fled and took refuge, there were also some scattered dragon whisperers and federal soldiers. Although they could not be reused and their loyalty was difficult to guarantee,

Finally, Ma Jianyao's urgent need was solved.

In the past, Ma Jianyao was just a Dragon Whisperer who was fighting for the Realm. He only had to fight and fight, and never worried about logistical support. Later, when he was trapped in the Realm, he only had to take care of him and Jiang Qiuyi. But now there are dozens of people.

He had to bear all the food, drink and sleep for thousands of people, which suddenly made him so anxious that he couldn't even sleep well for several days in a row.

He understood in his heart that the Freemen Alliance seemed to be developing rapidly and becoming much stronger, but in fact it was surrounded by crises and its overall strength had actually been reduced. If the Wolf Stars launched another large-scale attack, he would not be able to survive alone.

Even if he wins in the end, it will be a tragic victory, and there will be no one knows how many people will be killed or injured. And the logistics support is like a huge stone weighing heavily on his heart. The realm and stronghold are already at full capacity,

The food and water produced were not enough to consume hundreds of thousands of people. Fortunately, after expanding the territory, we took over several large supermarkets and cold storages, and were able to barely provide enough points to exchange for supplies.

However, this is not a solution for a long time, because Qiu Hongxin has calculated that if this continues, there will be a food shortage problem in no more than a month. In addition to food, firearms and ammunition, weapons and equipment and various daily necessities are also extremely scarce. Many soldiers

They didn’t even have guns in their hands, and some of the guns had no bullets at all. They were just pretending at best. First-aid potions and medicines were extremely scarce. It almost took an adult to work hard for a month without eating or drinking, and the points accumulated

Only enough money can be exchanged, and many sick or injured people do not receive effective treatment at all. There is really nothing Ma Jianyao can do about this. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot conjure these things out of thin air.

As for the current predicament facing the alliance, almost everyone who followed Ma Jianyao from the realm knows it well, but they have no good solution. Tang Chen means that from now on, he will no longer accept new personnel to join, even if he wants to accept them, he will have to accept them.

Selective acceptance, such as dragon whisperers, federal soldiers, technicians, engineers, etc. that are useful to the alliance can be accepted. Others that are of no use and can only be burdened will be rejected and left to fend for themselves. Anyway, the alliance is now

There is already a serious surplus of handymen, and many people are under-worked.

Although Tang Chen's intention was cruel, it was also the most realistic. Wei Xu strongly agreed. Although Qiu Hongxin did not say anything, Ma Jianyao knew that he actually agreed with this approach. But Ma Jianyao could never make up his mind. He

He came out of the experimental field. Although his near-death experience has long sharpened his character to a rock-hard character, even cold-blooded, he still can't forget the scenes of people running around and begging for shelter when the disaster broke out. Everyone

They all have one life, and he is not willing to cruelly strangle their children unless it is absolutely necessary.

After nearly a month of expansion and fighting, with the stronghold as the center, the area within a radius of 100 kilometers has become the territory of the Free Alliance. However, due to the devastation and destruction of the war, three or four out of ten buildings here were completely destroyed.

, turned into ruins, and the rest were damaged to varying degrees. But even so, every building is still full of people. The ruins are the search team's favorite place, just like gold mining.

, even if it has been visited several times, someone can still inadvertently find some useful things in it. These things can be kept for oneself, or can be given to the alliance in exchange for points, or even freely exchanged with each other.

However, the vast majority of people are still willing to turn over to the alliance in exchange for points, because it is fairer to pass the alliance, and there is no need to worry about being bought or sold by others and suffering losses.

One hundred kilometers is also the limit that Ma Jianyao's perception can reach. Once it exceeds this speed, he will not be able to sense it, and it will be difficult to detect any changes in time. This is one of the reasons why he hesitates to continue to expand outwards, and he is also worried about

Expanding too quickly will attract more hatred from the Wolf Stars. What he hopes is to take this opportunity to grow the alliance, rather than to become the leader. Once the Wolf Stars mobilize heavy troops to deal with him, the gains will outweigh the losses.

But Ma Jianyao also knows that with the increase in population and the increasing pressure on logistics, war is the only way to support war and expand territory externally. This is actually following the old path of conquering the human realm, but he has no other choice now.

He only hopes that he can choose a better direction when expanding externally. It is best to have large warehouses and cold storages. It would be even better if there are arsenals, hospitals or food processing plants. For this reason, he is already searching for tasks.

Related tasks were released in the website, and higher points were provided to encourage those who were not afraid of death to explore unknown areas. However, he had no idea whether he would be able to discover it. After all, almost everything the Wolf Stars passed was in ruins.

.

Rubbing his eyes, Ma Jianyao was about to ask the search team sent out if there was any good news. When the door of the temporary headquarters was slammed open from the outside, he saw Qiu Hongxing rushing in with a face on his face.

There was even an excitement that was hard to conceal.

"A great thing, a great thing..." Before Ma Jianyao could ask, Qiu Hongxin said excitedly: "The news from the search team was that a well-preserved large-scale food processing plant was discovered 160 kilometers southeast.

The factory is estimated to produce 50 tons of electricity every day, and they observed that this place seems to have a separate power supply..."

"Great!" Ma Jianyao couldn't help but be ecstatic when he heard this. Really, whatever he thinks about comes, with this large food processing plant, the logistical pressure faced by the alliance will be greatly alleviated, at least for a long time.

You won’t have to worry about food supply for a while.

"But it seems that someone occupied this place in advance, and the search team did not dare to go deeper."

Ma Jianyao frowned slightly, then waved his hand and said decisively: "No matter who gets there first, we must take this place down at all costs!"
