The Zerg Emperor of the End of the World - Chapter 518
c518 Annexation and incorporation
The Shakou Base is located in the Danzhou Plain in the southwest of Tianfu Province. It relies on the fish produced by the rivers on the plain and the livestock raised. Although it has always been small in scale, with only 10,000 people, the food is better than that of ordinary bases, and the threat to survival is not that great.
Several little kids in the Shakou Base are holding long whips at this moment, driving cattle and sheep to eat and graze in places with abundant water and grass. As the patrol area of the Shakou Base, there is basically no danger here.
It is not the first day for several children to graze. After driving the sheep to the designated location, there are hunting dogs guarding on the side to ensure that the sheep will not run away.
The children are hard to change their nature. After coming out, they completely forget the instructions of their families. They run happily on the plains and play. They either take water to fill the cricket holes or catch butterflies and dragonflies. There is no time to stop.
“Woof woof. Woof woof”
After the children played for a while, the two hunting dogs suddenly exploded their hair, growled and roared continuously in one direction, warning their little masters.
“What happened to Dahei and Erhei?” A little boy who was still sniffling ran over and touched their heads and chins. Through contact, he could feel the uneasiness in the hearts of the two hounds.
“Blow the whistle quickly, A Fei, go and drive the sheep back.”
A little girl was the first to react. Faced with this situation, she remembered her family’s instructions that when the hounds barked, they should blow the whistle quickly to call the patrol personnel of the Shakou base.
Although there are not many threats on the Danzhou Plain, there are still mutant beasts. No matter what kind of mutant beasts, they are much more powerful than hounds.
Several children were so scared that their faces turned pale, and some were so scared that they cried loudly, at a loss what to do. Obviously, they all thought of the mutant beasts their families talked about.
The little girl was the only one who calmed down. She took a special conch horn from the neck of a little boy, puffed up her cheeks and blew it hard.
Woo! Woo!
The low horn sound spread far away, as if it had startled something. A ferocious roar suddenly sounded from the small mound in front. A Siberian tiger-sized beast with sickle-like curved and sharp claws, a bloody mouth full of densely packed sharp teeth, and explosive strips of muscle all over its body, giving people a ferocious and swift appearance, appeared on the top of the small mound, flashing a fierce light and looking at the direction of the little girl.
When the mutant beast appeared, the two hounds immediately tucked their tails in fear, whining and shrinking behind the little master, making the children who were counting on the hounds for support for a while angry.
Usually, when they see a female dog, they bark more fiercely than the other, but now they meet a real mutant beast, and they are scared like quails. It’s too unreliable.
“Everyone, run, go back and call the adults. We don’t want the sheep anymore.”
The little girl gritted her teeth and told everyone to hurry up. The other children were already scared enough, and there were more people crying. Now someone gave them a command, and they immediately ran towards the base without thinking about anything else, crying, fearing that they would be eaten by mutants if they ran too slowly.
However, what surprised the little girl was that the mutant beast that looked more ferocious than a tiger did not chase them, nor did it kill the sheep. It just sniffed the air and roared a few times, as if it was conveying a message.
“What’s going on? Is there a mutant?”
The children ran a distance and soon met a patrol team that came on horseback after hearing the horn. The leader was their idol, Uncle Da, one of the eight mutants in the Shakou base.
“There are mutant beasts, not far behind!” The little girl told what she had just seen. The face of the middle-aged man in the lead, Uncle Da, changed, and he said in surprise: “The mutant beast must be calling its companions. You should leave here quickly.”
As soon as the voice fell, the mutant beast appeared behind the little girl and the others, staring at them with its red and ferocious eyes.
At the same time, the patrolmen’s screams of fear came from other places.
“There is a mutant beast at 3 o’clock!”
“Two were found at 11 o’clock!”
“I have five here.”
More than a dozen mutant beasts appeared in succession and surrounded them from all directions.
“It’s too late.” The middle-aged man Uncle Da smiled bitterly and surrounded the child in the middle. A total of more than 20 patrolmen picked up old-fashioned rifles, shotguns, and even homemade machetes and bows and arrows, aiming at the mutant beasts.
The Shakou base is not a large base. With a sparse population, they can’t get any weapons. These guns were not easy to get.
“Everyone, be quiet. Don’t fire to provoke them.”
Uncle Da put his finger under his lips to make a silence sign. He was only a Level 1 mutant. He had no confidence in dealing with these dozen mutant beasts, not to mention the broken guns in his companions’ hands. If they fought, they would not know how they would die.
Just when everyone was anxious, the roar of a car engine and the whistling of propellers stirring the air suddenly came from a distance.
A black and blue armed helicopter first crossed the hill and appeared in front of everyone at the Shakou base. The number engraved on the helicopter was very conspicuous under the sunlight, Lishan F0359.
On the ground, a tank and two armored personnel carriers broke through the bushes and vegetation and drove rapidly towards them.
Swish!
After braking, twelve fully armed soldiers jumped out of two armored personnel carriers one after another and surrounded the people in Shakou Base. The thick barrels of the tanks and the heavy machine guns on the top also turned over. The black muzzles made people feel cold and goose bumps.
The most surprising thing was that the mutant beasts that had made them feel like they were facing a great enemy before not only did not attack these soldiers, but cooperated with the soldiers to surround them.
“We are the army of Lishan Base. Now you have been captured. Put down your weapons immediately and tell us your identities.”
The leading soldier shouted to the people in Shakou Base. These soldiers were naturally the invading army sent by Wang Jin, and they joined the swarm to launch an annexation operation against the bases in nearby provinces.
“Lishan Base?”
Uncle Da thought of the news that had been widely circulated before, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. If the rumor was true, compared with Lishan Base, their Shakou Base had no room for resistance at all.
“I’ll count to three. If you don’t put down your weapons, we’ll open fire.”
Rifles were aimed at them. There were tank guns and heavy machine guns in front of them. There were helicopter missile bombs in the sky ready at any time. In this situation, as long as everyone in Shakou Base didn’t have a cramp in their heads, they would know what to do.
Uncle Da saw his companions were dejected, and some of them were trembling with fear. He knew that there was no need to fight this war. And looking at the seven or eight children, Uncle Da was even more reluctant. He couldn’t let these innocent children get involved in the war.
“Take care and don’t hurt us. You can’t abuse these children.” Uncle Da made his request. If the other party didn’t agree, he could only choose to fight desperately.
“Don’t worry, we are just following orders, not ***. As long as you don’t resist, we won’t hurt you.”
“We surrender, everyone put down your guns.”
The soldiers looked at each other and began to confiscate their weapons. Then more army swarms began to arrive. In less than half a day, Shakou Base was found.
Faced with the overwhelming force of the Lishan Army, Shakou Base, a small base of no more than 10,000 people, was quickly incorporated and annexed. The soldiers did not fire a single shot, and relied on military deterrence to successfully take control of Shakou Base. The leader of Shakou Base also expressed his willingness to surrender.
