doomsday survival

Chapter 97
When Alexander bit the bullet and led the way, feeling the pressure, Shi Jian and others were devoting themselves to the pre-war preparations.

42 people, excluding women and children, there are 33 people. For Shi Jian and others who only have five people, this is already a large number.

Although Chen Qiong said to see how many people could walk up the mountain, he still made preparations without hesitation. In the words of the founder of the dynasty, that is: despise the enemy strategically, and pay attention to the enemy tactically.As one of the once million heavenly soldiers, Chen Qiong regards this sentence as a classic, and he also played it to the fullest.

"First of all, let's talk about our shortcomings." Chen Qiong lay down in front of the table, holding a pen in his hand, ready to record on paper.

"There are few people." Shi Jian said first.

Chen Qiong nodded and wrote this.

"There are few weapons," Feng Kuang also put forward his own point of view, and said proudly, "If there are enough bullets, I don't care how many people come."

Chen Qiong frowned slightly, wrote the same sentence, and said to Feng Kuang: "Old lunatic, he's gone crazy again, come with ten thousand people, and I'll see how you beat him."

Feng Kuang chuckled, but said nothing.

Chen Qiong didn't answer him any more, and looked at Xia Qing again. Xia Qing thought for a while and said, "If I play for a long time, I might not be able to pull the bow even if I just draw it."

Chen Qiong wrote this down on a piece of paper and said: "The time of the battle is also a problem. No one can guarantee that every shot will hit every shot."

Xia Rou stood beside her and stretched out her small hand, eager to try, "I want to say it too."

"Let's talk." Chen Qiong touched the little girl's head kindly and said with a smile.

"They know where we are, but we don't know where they are." Xia Rou said crisply.

Chen Qiong wrote down the words "unknown enemy situation" on the paper, and then said: "Everyone said the same thing, but there is one more thing, our place is too big."

Shi Jian understood what Chen Qiong meant as soon as he heard it. A large area means a large defense range. With the current manpower, there is no way to take care of all the places.

Shi Jian thought for a while and said, "To sum it all up, the main reason is the shortage of manpower."

Chen Qiong said: "Let's analyze our advantages next."

Feng Kuang was the first to speak this time, and said: "Our advantages are also obvious. There are many defensive facilities. The old cripple once said that it is as solid as gold, and it is not an exaggeration at all."

Shi Jian followed up and said: "And we still have Lao Chen as a veteran, so the command and organization ability must be stronger than the opponent's."

Xia Qing also said: "Our long-distance accuracy is high, but we don't know how the other party is doing."

Chen Qiong recorded them one by one, and then said: "As for the enemy, we only know how many they have, and we don't know the number of weapons and ammunition. What's more, we don't know what special skills they have, such as fighting, sniping, camouflage, and traps." I don’t know. These are also their advantages, let’s discuss countermeasures.”

Shi Jian said with a smile: "Old Chen, you can arrange how to fight. You have the most say about the battle."

Several people nodded and looked at Chen Qiong. Chen Qiong shook her head and said to Shi Jian: "Of course there is no problem with my arrangements, but you have to express your own opinions. I can't help you make decisions all the time."

Shi Jian knew what Chen Qiong meant, mainly to train himself, he smiled and said: "Old Chen, hurry up, the enemy is right in front of you, you can train your troops anytime."

"It's okay." Chen Qiong shook her head and rejected Shi Jian's proposal, "Don't underestimate that section of the mountain road, it will take some effort for them to come up, and there is still time."

Shi Jian was speechless immediately, but seeing Chen Qiong's insistence on this, he had no choice but to think hard to find a feasible way to solve the immediate crisis.

Feng Kuang leaned on the back of the chair with a grin, his feet resting on the table, and his body led the chair to sway, looking extremely comfortable.He smiled and said, "Shi Jian, you have to think about the worst. You can't just assume that all the enemies are trapped and then wait for you to pick up the leftovers."

After hearing Feng Kuang's words, Xia Qing rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Master Feng, brother Jian is thinking about it, so don't make trouble."

"Yo drink," Feng Kuang smiled even wider, "Girl Qing is distressed, don't feel sorry for him, you have to think about it." After finishing speaking, he also took out his pipe, lit it, and took a deep breath a mouthful.

Shi Jian was a little annoyed by Feng Kuang's noise, so he stood up and walked around. At the same time, he also took out a pipe and started puffing, trying to concentrate his energy.

How to overcome the scarcity of personnel, the shortage of equipment, the wide range of defenses, and the unknown enemy's situation, this pile of problems weighed on Shi Jian's head, making him stunned. Even the stimulation of tobacco could not keep his mind at peace.

Watching the smoke swaying and rising, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Shi Jian stood still, holding a pipe in his hand, and looked up into the sky, motionless.

Seeing Shi Jian's appearance, everyone knew that he should get something, so they all looked at him quietly, not disturbing his thinking, and even Feng Kuang put away his smile, as if that smile would also affect Shi Jian.

Shi Jian's brain was running fast, repeatedly deliberating whether his plan was appropriate.Finally, a smile appeared on Shi Jian's face, he slapped his thigh suddenly, turned around and hurried back to the table, and sat down on his buttocks.

"We can do this," Shi Jian eagerly expressed his thoughts, "reduce the defensive area, only defend the living area, allocate energy reasonably when attacking, and raise the hot air balloon at the same time to keep reconnaissance of the enemy's situation at all times." After finishing speaking, he put His eyes turned to Chen Qiong, waiting for Chen Qiong's judgment.

Chen Qiong nodded, and said: "It is necessary to reduce the defense, but is the hot air balloon necessary? We can go to the signal tower to scout the enemy's situation."

"No," Shi Jian insisted, "I think it's necessary. After all, the signal tower is not as high as a hot air balloon, and one man needs to be lost to climb the signal tower, but hot air balloons don't have this problem."

"Just kidding, don't hot air balloons need people?" Feng Kuang retorted.

"Need," Shi Jian said, turning his gaze to Xia Rou, "but we don't need to lose our combat power."

The others also understood Shi Jian's meaning, Feng Kuang objected first: "No! Definitely not! It's too dangerous!"

Xia Qing frowned, and echoed, "Yes, it's too dangerous for Xiaorou to go up."

Chen Qiong, on the other hand, stared deeply at Xia Rou without saying a word.

Only then did Xia Rou understand what Shi Jian meant. Instead of being afraid, she shouted happily: "That's great, brother Jian, you're so kind! I haven't been in a hot air balloon yet."

Feng Kuang saw that Xia Rou's first thought was playing instead of her own safety, and frowned and said: "Little girl, you are so tall, you will be scared to cry."

"Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore, so I'm not afraid!" Xia Rou said with her nose tight, "Besides, brother Jian said that everyone in the last days must reflect their own value."

Feng Kuang coughed, and said: "Xiao Rou can climb high, you can be a watchman on the signal tower. The hot air balloon rises higher, it is colder, and it has been useless for such a long time, and I don't know how safe it is." .”

Chen Qiong shook her head and said, "Old maniac, if the hot air balloon can't be used, I don't agree with Xiaorou climbing the signal tower, it's more dangerous, at least the hot air balloon doesn't have to worry about falling."

Feng Kuang didn't speak when he heard the words. He knew that what Chen Qiong said was true. After standing on the signal tower for a long time, his legs would become sore and numb. If he was not careful, he would fall down, and the hot air balloon would only slowly descend even if the fuel was exhausted. As long as you pay attention to fire, the risk factor is really not high.But he never thought that Chen Qiong would agree to Shi Jian's plan, so he couldn't help looking at Chen Qiong suspiciously.

Chen Qiong quickly gave Feng Kuang an answer, and he said seriously: "As long as Xiaorou agrees, then I agree with Shi Jian's plan in principle, because the crisis we are facing now requires everyone to work together to deal with it, but there are still a few details Need to study it."

Seeing that Chen Qiong agreed with his plan, Shi Jian finally let go of his heart. In fact, he let Xia Rou go up to the sky in a hot air balloon, just like Chen Qiong took Xia Rou away that day, to prevent her from accidents , at least the high altitude is less attacked by the enemy.

Although it's safest for Xia Rou to stay in the room, but now there is a shortage of manpower, it's a good idea to help, otherwise Xia Rou won't be able to escape if the enemy really attacks.

Hearing Chen Qiong said that there are still details to study, Shi Jian said: "Old Chen, tell me."

"How did Xiaorou tell us what she saw?" Chen Qiong asked the first question.

Shi Jian thought for a while and said, "Isn't it okay to use semaphore?"

Chen Qiong smiled, and said to Shi Jian: "That's right, you can think of this, and you've made progress. Then how can you ensure that the other party doesn't attack Xiaorou?"

Shi Jian also thought about this question, and answered directly: "I think that hanging basket is quite high, let's make a few more holes in the top, and Xiaorou will squat down and show her head, the enemy probably has never seen a hot air balloon before, no There must be someone up there."

Chen Qiong shook her head and said, "You can't take chances. Let's use wooden boards to reinforce the hanging basket. The enemy is far away. Unless there is a sniper rifle, Xiao Rou's safety will be fine."

Chen Qiong made a decision, even though Feng Kuang and Xia Qing were reluctant, there was nothing they could do, looking at the two unhappy faces, Chen Qiong said: "You guys, why did you forget that I took Xiaorou out that night? ? Shi Jian is so good to Xiaorou, can he still harm her? Don't forget, what we need most is manpower."

Only then did Feng Kuang and Xia Qing understand Shi Jian's intentions, Feng Kuang smiled, turned around and left the room to prepare for the hot air balloon.Xia Qing shyly pulled Shi Jian and said, "Brother Jian, I'm sorry, I didn't think too deeply."

"It's okay, if I'm more anxious." Shi Jian shook Xia Qing's hand and said softly.

In order to raise the hot air balloon quickly, Feng Kuang tied several ropes to the loops reserved on the airbag, straightened the ropes in different directions and fixed them.Then several people took turns to go into battle, use the bellows to fill the air bag with air, and then strengthen the hanging basket and install it.

Wearing a thick leather jacket, Xia Rou happily climbed into the hanging basket, holding two small red flags that had just been made, and shouted to light the fire.

Feng Kuang ignited the homemade burner, and told Xia Rou repeatedly: "Remember, don't touch this at ordinary times, turn off this first if there is any danger, and then send a signal immediately, we will pull you down."

Xia Rou kept nodding her head, Feng Kuang was worried, and asked her to demonstrate how to signal and turn off the fire again. After seeing everything was correct, she restarted the fire and climbed out of the hanging basket.

As the temperature in the airbag continued to rise, the hot air balloon finally slowly left the ground, drifted straight up, and soon passed the signal tower, and finally tightened the rope fixed on the ground, stopping in midair.

Shi Jian and the others looked up at the hot air balloon with trepidation, worried that Xia Rou was afraid of heights, but they didn't expect Xia Rou to send out the first signal immediately.

The enemy has already left the woods and stepped onto the path in front of the door. There are 27 enemies in total!
