The 108th chapter surprises (3)

Although Zhao Manxiong lived a difficult life, every step was like walking on thin ice, and if he was not careful, the end of the world would come. In comparison, Wu Han's life was much better, but how could he feel relaxed?

Not long ago, the system was destroyed by the nuclear war, and the state machines scattered around the world tried to re-enter the remnants of the forces and reintegrate the current chaos. However, the consequences of this attempt were easily foreseeable. Now if someone would give Wu Han, you can give up power! Then he is like seeking death by himself, relying on personal efforts and destiny. Now those strong people who hold power will not hand over the power they are in their hands at all.

Just as in Chinese history, on the eve of the famous Battle of Red Cliff, Lu Su, the important official of the Eastern Wu, said to his lord Sun Quan. Anyone under him can surrender, and there may be an official job in the future, and he will probably do well. However, those who are in charge cannot surrender. Even if you surrender voluntarily, in order to consolidate the rule of the superiors will not leave such a big trouble. For the same reason, even if Wu Han doesn't like war and killing, in order to save his life, he must fight with those who are trying to seize power. This is the butt determines the head, and interests determines the position.

What is the target of public criticism? Just look at the miserable consequences of the pre-state machinery in this wilderness after the war, which is already the most standard answer.

Groups of all parts of China all know one thing: the state machine is their most deadly threat. If this behemoth is given space for development and extension, then they will definitely die without a burial place. Any leader with some knowledge will not leave it with a chance to sit big. Therefore, under the premise of almost completely blind and spontaneous, the strong people attacked in groups. Faced with such a harsh situation, the only blood left of the state machine was also drained in the melee.

On the southern coast of the northeast, a built-in armed police squadron occupied a settlement near the mining area, intending to recruit survivors and rebuild national prestige. However, when their actions were discovered by Torrent Company, Meng Shenji immediately put down all the affairs at hand and personally mobilized elite forces to give a head-on blow, destroying the stronghold with a tragic blow.

At about the same time, a battalion-level garrison that appeared in the upper reaches of Nenjiang was also attacked by the mine protection team. In the end, less than 100 remaining troops fled in a hurry to the grassland where monsters were entrenched in the west. At the same time, when Wu Han, who was expeditioning to the coastal area, was still unaware of it. A week ago, a group of police officers who emerged from somewhere attempted to seize the Peach Blossom Land with the help of the country's name and the weak firepower of more than ten pistols. Coincidentally, Wu Han, who was the master of the family, was not here. For a while, the people in the Peach Blossom Land were panicked, and Zhou Chen could only maintain the situation to prevent it from worsening.

At this critical moment that determines fate, Mi Long, who regarded himself as Wu Han's iron-knitted confidant, relied on his 3-inch tongue to do his best to deceive and incite. Under Mi Long's constant lobbying, the patrol team, who was hesitant at first, finally made up their minds to turn against these policemen. The battle went on without any suspense. The patrol team just charged and turned these guys who were trying to go against the sky into the dust of history.

Of course, all the changes that happened around the survivors were off topic, but they had never met each other. However, Zhao Manxiong, who had been with him for a long time, was also considered an old friend that Wu Han could be honest with him. Wu Han was naturally very happy to learn that he was safe and could not help but ask a few more questions and said:

"How is your body? Is there enough food?"

When he heard this, Zhao Manxiong, who was obviously full of bitterness, smiled bitterly and said:

"To be honest, I haven't eaten hot food for several days, and now I have even suffered from old stomach problems."

It has been a long time since I lived such a miserable life of wandering and dying. After hearing the sound, Wu Han was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head, and suddenly said:

"No hot stuff to eat? Well, you are afraid of exposing your target and dare not make a fire, right? Alas, it's really not easy!"

Also helplessly sighed, Zhao Manxiong continued:

"Oh, the battle here is getting more and more powerful, and I really can't stay anymore. We recently discussed and prepared to build a few rafts to go down the north. I hope Dongting Lake can be better than the poor mountains and bad waters in the southwest of ours!"

When the topic was mentioned here, the two sides, thousands of miles apart, fell silent at the same time, and they were quietly thinking about their future. In this wilderness, survival is the most painful and difficult choice. Survivors are all trapped in the torrent of the times. No matter how profound a person's wisdom is or how powerful the force is, they cannot compete with the development of the general trend and can find a glimmer of vitality in the cracks of fate. I believe that this meager hope is the only desire that most survivors have.

After a long time, Wu Han said slowly:

"Brother Zhao, I have a clear way to give you...but this method is also very risky. If it can be successful, it will be a one-time solution. What do you think?"

The person who was about to drown couldn't help but reach out to hold it even if it was a straw. Moreover, Zhao Manxiong's personal situation was much more dangerous than that of a drowning person. He said that it was very risky, and even if he had only one percent chance of success, he was willing to listen to his opinions. So Zhao Manxiong immediately interrogated and said enthusiastically:

"It doesn't matter, let's listen, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work."

When he heard Zhao Manxiong's statement, Wu Han no longer hid it. He briefly introduced the incident of his control of the coastal area on the east to Zhao Manxiong, and then said:

"...As long as you can get the right boat, cross the Yellow Sea, and bypass the Goryeo Peninsula, you can directly settle on our territory. Otherwise, you can land from the Yalu River Estuary, but the situation there is very complicated, and I don't recommend you take this shortcut."

On this planet on Earth, about 70% of the surface area is covered by azure ocean. It is obvious that the number of monsters in the vast ocean is far greater than the land world. Since the ocean is a three-dimensional ecological structure, unlike the land ecosystem, it is basically a plane space. Those aquatic monsters with large size and intake are also small and do not easily move to the shallow water areas near the shore. After all, they live in shallow seas with frequent tide changes, and it is not easy to find food. Similar to Wu Han and his group of people who bumped into the sea snake on the beach to build nests and lay eggs. To be honest, it is just a small probability event, and the opportunity they encounter is similar to winning the lottery jackpot.

If Zhao Manxiong followed the route mentioned by Wu Han completely, he would go down the Xiangjiang River and enter the main channel of the Yangtze River, then go east to the estuary of the Yangtze River, and turn north to the Yellow Sea. Although this route is long and dangerous, it is not unsure of success if you think about it carefully. It is just that three points are in the plan of people and seven points are in the heavens.

The prospect depicted by Wu Han is of course very wonderful, but Zhao Manxiong had other ideas. He hesitated for a moment and said:

"Uh, this...you let me think about it again!"

Any plan that has been formulated in advance is perfect on paper before it is really started to be implemented. The biggest problem is that survivors need to face this changing real world, rather than a well-designed computer game. Many system variables cannot be predicted and digitized. Therefore, before the last resort, Zhao Manxiong was reluctant to start this veritable Long March. This is a shocking gamble. If the bet is won, everything will be fine. If the whole family dies, there is basically no third possibility.

Wu Han didn't care much about Zhao Manxiong's cautious attitude. He just made a temporary decision to propose this plan. As for whether to accept it, it depends on whether Zhao Manxiong really has this urgent need. Wu Han smiled and said:

"Hahaha, I'm reminding you not to forget this last retreat."

Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. If Wu Han puts himself in his shoes and makes such a life-and-death major decision for Zhao Manxiong, he will definitely not give priority to this whimsical action plan before he is sure that he is desperate. What can be established in theory does not mean that it is also feasible in real life. Wu Han did not mean to force Zhao Manxiong to accept it, and now he is sowing a seed. No one can say what kind of fruits he can bear in the future. In the end, let time prove everything!

As the generator began to tremble irregularly and declared that the oil began to get into trouble, Zhao Manxiong hurriedly ended the radio communication. After turning off the power, he still couldn't feel relaxed.

The suggestion given by Wu Han broadened his horizons and allowed Zhao Manxiong to see a way out through the fog that he had never thought of before. However, under the huge pressure of survival in reality, Zhao Manxiong really didn't know where to go. At this moment, he could only sigh, and he walked out of the tent with his bleak life.

After the call ended, Wu Han quickly left behind the incident about Zhao Manxiong. Living in this era, if you don’t learn to forget, you will definitely not be able to survive.

A heavy snow, more than a month later than in previous years, fell one after another. As a result, the vast white mountains and black waters turned into a world of ice and snow covered in silver.

The overall situation of Taohuayuan is significantly better than in previous years. The technology team launched a research and development project for electric-driven snowmobile early in the morning, and now it has subdivided different groups such as single-person snowmobile, double-person snowmobile and large-scale crawler snowmobile for independent research and development. Although the two aliens in front and back seem to be very law-abiding and refuse to provide technical equipment and weapons beyond the original technological level of the earth, since the survivors can stand on the shoulders of giants of human scientific and technological civilization, it is relatively easy to go further.

Most of the time, it is not difficult for scientific and technological R&D personnel to produce a perfect drawing. However, the economic and time cost of turning the drawing into a physical object and processing high-precision parts that meet the design parameters is the biggest obstacle to the practical use of new technologies.
