“Clean up the battlefield!”
After this round of fighting, Zhao Yu did not even have enough bullets.
He could only send people to the battlefield to see if there was anything useful.
After the bombardment of missiles and mortars, many weapons and equipment on the battlefield were damaged.
However, a munitions factory’s recycling furnace meant that even the damaged items could be recycled and remanufactured, so it wasn’t a loss.
BoxNovel.com■What do you think, if I lead an attack on Wild Wolf Town now, can we take it down?’
Zhao Yu called several commanders to ask.
After a brief calculation, the senior commander said, ‘There’s a 13.6% chance of
victory…’
■Then forget it!’
Zhao Yu sighed. There were still quite a few armed personnel left in Wild Wolf Town. According to the initial reconnaissance, there were at least two hundred armed individuals there.
The battlefield was cleaned up very thoroughly. Aside from the various broken weapons and equipment being recycled in the furnace, even the limbs and body parts were collected.
‘Fighter jets…’
‘Missiles!1
‘Mortars!1
The war happening nearby was clearly visible from the camp outside the eastern gate.
Everyone faces filled with fear and unease.
■Do we need all this to attack Wild Wolf Town?’ Eagle was recalling what Zhao
Yu said during the trade.
Wild Wolf Town might be strong, but compared to the Re Zhao Corporation, it was nothing more than an ant. Was it worth deploying fighter jets and missiles for them?
But now, they really had!
The distance was too far for them to realize that the eight-meter-long fighter jet was actually an unmanned integrated reconnaissance and attack drone.
‘What do we do?!’
Eagle was extremely anxious. Their neighbor had shown strength far beyond that of ordinary forces.
He was unsure how to interact with them now, even started on considering relocating the camp.
But he was just a temporary leader; without Meng Xian’s return, he dared not make many decisions.
As Eagle was at a loss, Zhao Yu arrived in his vehicle.
-Centurion Zhao!” Eagle called out respectfully.
Although he knew Zhao Yu was from the Re Zhao Corporation, it had not been verified, and he had almost annihilated Zhao Yu’s group, so his attitude was not one of awe.
But now, he had heard Zhao Yu talking about attacking Wild Wolf Town and witnessed a fighter jet to take off and release missiles shortly after.
The scale of this war far exceeded his imagination.
They were a small force without even a mortar, yet Zhao Yu had used fighter jets and missiles.
‘Uh-huh!’
Zhao Yu instructed someone to open the rear car door.
Eagle seemed to understand something and instructed his men to back off before getting into Zhao Yu’s car.
Several soldiers naturally stood guard around the car, preventing others from approaching.
■Do you know why I’m looking for you?’ Zhao Yu asked indifferently.
■I don’t know!’ Eagle had some guesses but dared not say them out loud.
“Two days ago, my goods were robbed, and more than fifty people were killed…” Zhao Yu nodded and said.
■It was Wild Wolf Town’s doing!’
Eagle hadn’t expected Wild Wolf Town to be so bold as to rob Zhao Yu’s goods.
They deserved to be bombed by missiles!
■Yesterday, I sent people to take back my goods, killed more than seventy of
them, and captured over fifty civilians…’
So that’s how it was!
Eagle finally realized where the civilians working outside the east gate had come from; they were taken from Wild Wolf Town.
“Half an hour ago, my boss called and said that a strange force was approaching our base…”
What?!
Zhao Yu’s boss wasn’t even here, so how did they know?
Suddenly, he thought of something, looked to the sky in shock.
Satellites!
Only satellites could detect the situation here from thousands of miles away!
Only some major forces and large groups had satellites.
“That’s not important. What’s important is that one hundred and fifty people from Wild Wolf Town came, and I didn’t have enough manpower, so I called for air support…’
Air support, fighter jets, missiles…
“Centurion Zhao, what a strategy…! was surprised to witness an air strike.”
‘Uh-huh!’
“The incoming enemies have been completely wiped out. Do you know why I’m here to see you now?”
His question left Eagle stunned, and he started to ponder.
After a while, he said, ‘The Re Zhao Corporation is a major force, not something Wild Wolf Town can compare to. In theory, when they looted you before, they should have been wiped out, so why this time…’
Eagle ventured, “So, do you have requirements not to expose your identity?’
“Exactly!”
Zhao Yu nodded and said, ‘Now tell me, how can I do this without having to kill?’
Kill to hide the event?!
Eagle realizing that they, being so close, had seen the fighter jet and missiles!
So, they were about eliminating them?!
At such a close distance, he was confident he could kill Zhao Yu alone.
But it was useless, he still couldn’t stop his body from trembling.
When had he ever made such a big decision?!
Even killing Zhao Yu would be futile; the man was from the Re Zhao Corporation, capable of mobilizing fighter jets and missiles, and possibly even under satellite surveillance.
“The base I protect is conducting high-level experiments that require secrecy. Give me one reason within ten minutes not to wipe out your Meng House Village!”
Eagle felt helpless.
They were only neighbors with Zhao Yu, yet they found themselves in such a predicament.
He had no choice but to rack his brains.
After a long time, he calmed down and analyzed that Zhao Yu did not really want to kill to them otherwise, he would have acted already.
He just wanted an unnoticeable reason to keep the secrets of the Re Zhao Corporation hidden.
So…
“We can participate in this battle…”
Zhao Yu smiled and said, “Fighter jets and missiles, nobody has seen them, whoever has seen them dies!”
“Yes, I can ensure this. I will inform the others in the village…”
“I don’t trust you!”
“Gather your people later, take photos and register everyone. I will send your information to my superiors. If any news leaks, you know what will happen…” Eagle’s face showed bitterness. This was a blatant threat, but he had no choice but to agree.
He took a deep breath.
“But even with our participation, we can’t win against them…”
“So, you need a better cover identity…”
“What do you mean?!”
“The Re Zhao Corporation’s background cannot be exposed, so you need a plausible identity, like Zhao Family Village or something…”
“Zhao Family Village?”
Zhao Yu also realizing he was being suggested to establish a local wilderness force as a cover.
“Yes!”
■■Our region is too far from Black Rock City, and many messages are blocked; nobody pays attention here, so it’s normal to have a new Zhao Family Village…” “Especially since you’ve been living here, and with the old gathering place of the photovoltaic power plant being wiped out, you can integrate the old forces and establish a new one…”
“Can this deceive them?!”
“A plausible growth story is all that’s needed!”
Zhao Yu nodded slightly ; this seemed like a good plan.
His biggest problem was not being from the Re Zhao Corporation. To anyone, Zhao Yu’s asset of weapons was an attractive target. So, he needed to conceal the involvement of the missiles and fighter jets. There were too many people nearby, with over three hundred people in Meng House Village alone, plus his captives, totaling nearly four hundred who knew. With his current strength, it was impossible to truly eliminate them, so he needed a way to involve Meng House Village.
“DO you think Zhao Family Village or Zhao Family Fort is more appropriate?” “The village challenging a town is too much, so the fort is more suitable…” “Cooperation between a village and a fort doesn’t seem realistic…” Eagle started to scratch his head.
“I have an idea!”
“Speak!”
“Normally, villages and forts rarely collaborate in such battles…”
“But if the village head and the fort leader have a personal connection, then it’s possible…”
Eagle looked intently at Zhao Yu, “Our village head happens to be a woman…” He thought to himself that although this was a crisis, it could also be an opportunity.
Collaborate with Zhao Yu could help their village develop, just from the trade in this war alone, they had already gained an advantage. “Okay let’s do that. I’ll be Zhao Family Fort, you’ll be Meng House Village. We’ll collaborate to wipe out the invaders from Wild Wolf Town. Spread the word…” “Centurion Zhao, just spreading the word like that seems too deliberate. We need a reason…” Eagle bit the bullet, “Let’s jointly issue a declaration of war against Wild Wolf Town…”
“Include the reasons for the battles in it, along with the situations of the three fights…”
“Declaration of war…”
Zhao Yu thought for a moment, finding his suggestion sensible, and nodded in agreement, “Let’s do as you said…
Then, the two discussed some more details, talking for over half an hour before concluding..
