The group of people who invited Qu Jianlei cannot be said to be decadent. At least they are calm and composed, as if they have seen through the world.
As for those who were inside the building, most of them seemed calmer, as if they were prepared for any outcome.
Qu Jianlei and his companions ignored these people and continued to wander around.
But in the end, they were stopped and questioned - to see their reserve numbers.
"It's useless to check this," Qu Jianlei muttered, "When the aliens come, can we still be deserters?"
In the battlefield of the human civil war, deserters might be able to survive, but when facing aliens...
The inspecting soldiers didn't pay any attention to his complaints. Now the entire Bitao was a huge powder keg that could explode at any time.
"To resist alien races, we must be organized, otherwise we can only wait for death. I hope you will cooperate."
However, this less-strict inspection had no equipment to prevent mental interference, and it was too easy to get away with it.
The soldier then reminded them, "Be restrained and don't walk around. Be careful not to be caught as a spy of the evil empire."
"Spy?" Jing Yuexin blinked her eyes and asked in a helpless tone, "Spies will come to Bitao?"
"Is there a problem?" The soldier said seriously, "If they sabotage, won't it make it easier for aliens to invade?"
Jing Yuexin was speechless for a moment. She walked a long way before muttering in a low voice, "The people in the alliance... have such filthy hearts!"
As a genuine imperial citizen, she had never thought of facilitating alien invasion by causing sabotage.
War should be unscrupulous and moral bottom lines can be trampled upon at will, but at least it should harm others to benefit oneself, right?
Qu Jianlei remained silent. Although he was dissatisfied with the Empire, the people of the Alliance looked bold and unbridled, but they had no bottom line in what they did.
There were too few people on the planet, so the two of them simply released Xiaohu's clone as well. At least the three of them didn't look so sneaky.
The three of them walked to a large residential area and spotted several small groups of residents gathered in the distance. Just as they were about to move forward, an alarm suddenly sounded.
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin were still a little uncomfortable with this situation and couldn't help but be stunned.
The crowd in front suddenly dispersed and ran into the surrounding buildings, but their speed was not particularly fast.
Obviously, they have basically adapted to this kind of life.
There was actually someone shouting at Qu Jianlei and the other two, while making some gestures.
The person who was shouting must have some power. They did not let the three people in the distance get any closer, but pointed out the direction to hide.
"Is he on guard against us?" Jing Yuexin muttered softly, "We're about to fight, but he's rejecting our living forces?"
Even so, the three of them had already followed each other's instructions and trotted towards an independent small bungalow.
In the small bungalow, there is a downward sloping passage with a door that is ajar and can be opened by pulling outwards.
Not far behind the door is a turn, and the passage continues downward with dim lights.
With the Alliance's technological development, they are not short of lighting equipment. The lights are so dim that I don't know if it is to save energy or to prevent exposure.
Walking towards the downward sloping passage, a solid room appeared after about ten meters.
The room is not big, about 20 square meters, with ventilation holes, water pipes, and many surveillance screens.
Other than that, there are some fire control systems and some ammunition, but no energy blocks.
There is no doubt that the energy blocks on those external weapons are limited. Once they are used up, the people in the room will have to prepare them themselves.
This is an air-raid shelter with some weapons for counterattack, which is very simple.
Of course, there is no need to consider comfort in wartime. Being alive is better than anything else, so there is no need to be too pretentious.
But Xiao Hu's clone still muttered, "Without even food and fuel... How long can an ordinary person last?"
"It's just temporary..." Qu Jianlei thought that this was just the initial stage of attack and defense, and it was not a critical moment yet.
But he stopped talking halfway and blinked, "Those people won't let us get close...are they worried about the supplies?"
"That should be the case," Jing Yuexin nodded thoughtfully, "I thought they wanted us to hide as soon as possible."
"Hey," Qu Jianlei shook his head and finally said, "You are quite experienced."
He may be annoyed, but to be fair, he might have done the same thing.
The people in the residential area should be familiar with each other, but the three of them were just passers-by.
Facing the impending doomsday, whether it is maintaining order or the supply and demand of survival materials, acquaintances are always better at coordinating than outsiders.
Letting strangers into the shelter at this time is simply laying a minefield.
There is no need to criticize this behavior, unfortunately, it is only them who are targeted.
"There is a door here!" Jing Yuexin made a new discovery on the wall.
Because the room had rough walls and floors and the lighting was dim, they didn't notice it at first.
Qu Jianlei took a look and curled his lips, "It opens inwards... This air-raid shelter is really unpopular."
In most buildings, whether a door opens inwards or outwards has completely different meanings.
In the current situation, opening the door outwards will make it convenient for people in the house to rush out, while opening the door inwards will make it convenient for people outside to break in.
The door of the passage they came down opened outwards, which was used to keep out foreigners.
But this door obviously leads to other buildings, but it opens inwards, so it is obvious that this room has a very low priority.
The most important thing is that the door locks are all on the opposite side, which is too passive.
However, the three of them didn't care. With their skills, it didn't matter whether the door existed or not. It just didn't feel good.
However, as a stranger from outside, I can't say anything about being able to find such a room at any time.
Then, Xiao Hu's clone made a new discovery, "The degree of automation of these weapons... is really too poor."
Qu Jianlei laughed when he heard this, "I guess the blame for this will be put on you."
Xiao Hu was a little unconvinced, "Maybe this room has a low priority, I'll try other places."
However, it turned out that Qu Jianlei was right. The vast majority of weapons on the entire planet had a low level of automation.
Especially in those key prevention areas, the degree of automation is lower, and the data networking is obviously regionalized.
This time it was Xiao Hu's turn to be both angry and amused. "Does artificial intelligence have no personality? This is the biggest insult to me!"
"Okay, the aliens have already started attacking," Jiao Dao Ren sent out his divine sense, "Stop fighting."
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin also released their spiritual sense to observe.
Xiao Hu's clone didn't have this ability, "Forget it, I'll just hack in and see if I can switch the camera over."
More than two million kilometers away from the Bitao Star, there are forest groups in five directions, and each group has about 1,800 trees.
These are just the vanguard troops of the alien race. Deep in the space behind them, there are still a large number of dark clouds, which are vast tracts of forests.
What’s interesting is that these alien races also seem to understand the tactic of “surrounding five sides and leaving one side open”, leaving one direction open for people to escape.
Of course, it is not easy to escape without any damage, as there are small patches of trees floating everywhere in the space.
It can be said that Bitao is now semi-closed.
The military should still have a considerable number of warships now, but... when fighting against aliens, the warships cannot be used to defend the planet.
Large groups of aliens gathered in outer space and did not approach each other, just to make the military send out warships for a decisive battle.
After all, the artillery fire on the ground will cause great casualties to the alien races. Not only will the cost be too high, but their lethality will also be reduced.
There is no doubt that the military is also aware of this. Taking the initiative to attack will result in the loss of ground cover.
If they really have to fight a space war, they would rather do it in deep space, where at least they can take advantage of speed.
It would be foolish to fight a space war on our doorstep now that we have the cover of ground artillery fire.
Unless Bi Tao is the main battlefield for the decisive battle, the two sides will directly compete in military strength, but it is obvious that this is not the case now.
At present, the alien race has only sent out three large forests and started to approach and attack in three directions.
Each of the three forests has more than a thousand trees, all of which were mobilized from the rear. Such an attack can basically be regarded as harassment.
However, it is obvious that if not handled properly, harassment may turn into a prelude to a main attack.
The area where Qu Jianlei and his team were located was at the edge of the attack range of a forest.
Lin Hai's attack range is very large. Although their movements are relatively slow, they will keep moving in order to reduce losses.
The place where Qu Jianlei and the others are is not considered a main coverage area, but it is definitely covered.
Faced with the approaching alien forest, the alliance military launched warships to meet the enemy.
This response is not contradictory, so I won’t go into details. In short, relying solely on ground attacks has very average effects.
Most of the ships that faced the enemy were small ships. Although they were fragile, their main feature was their flexibility and their power was not bad.
Qu Jianlei and the other two just watched coldly, showing no interest in helping at all.
Xiao Hu even had time to search for some other news, "Hey, Wu Zhen and the others have left Bi Tao."
Because the news about Bao Zhixing had already spread, the authorities were quite passive, and some refugees who had the means had already found ways to leave.
The remaining refugees refused to agree and wanted to run further. Their reason was that they had already resisted on the front line.
Even the army has to take turns in fighting, so it wouldn't be too much for ordinary people to take a break after encountering a war, right?
The authorities originally did not want to agree, but they could not let them continue to do so, so they all moved to the rear.
However, Wu Zhen was kept because he had experience in resisting alien races.
After all, both the government and the military conceded that his death in Bitao was the more ideal outcome—he would become a hero after death.
But Wu Zhen is also ruthless. Since you want to use my experience, you have to give me the power, or at least let me tell it, right?
After his story, the officials felt that keeping this guy in Bitao might become a time-limited bomb.
This guy has a tradition of disobeying orders, from secretly completing the war fortress to later abandoning the deputy commander-in-chief of the war zone...
