Chapter 290 Everyone is in danger
"The commander is fine!"
"The commander is back!"
"He's back!"
“…”
The children were running and jumping in the camp, and their laughter spread throughout the camp, like little message birds, free and unrestrained.
Upon hearing the news, those who were building houses, cutting wood, forging stones, or trading materials all stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction where the sound first came from.
During this period, Su Xia's disappearance caused many people to worry.
He left after receiving the mission prompt without giving away much information. Even the people in the North Wind Organization were worried.
There is a rumor that he went to rescue someone.
Others said that he went to Longcheng secretly to discuss something important.
Now he has returned safely, bringing with him a group of members from Dragon City and the Joint Camp.
The news spread quickly, and everyone gradually learned the details. It turned out that Su Xia really went to rescue people and successfully rescued everyone.
"Hey, the commander actually rescued the people of Dragon City. I heard that the people of Dragon City are very arrogant."
"Commander, I salute you!"
Someone was standing on a pile of rocks in the distance, shouting and waving his hat.
Someone else smiled and said, "Commander, you haven't been teaching recently, and the children miss you."
"Commander, when are we going to fight those ?"
“…”
With a smile on her face, Su Xia responded to the enthusiastic shouts of the crowd in all directions one by one.
Once we got back to the camp, there was a lot to do.
There were several newly arrived resistance groups planning to stay in the camp for a long time. Xiong Wei asked Su Xia what she thought.
Some people even came over with their newborn babies, wanting Su Xia to give them nice names.
There were also some children running around Su Xia happily, shouting things like "The Commander is a hero", with smiles on their little faces.
The people of Longcheng followed Su Xia into the camp, looked around, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
This oasis camp was much better than they had imagined.
Everyone has a happy look on their face and is full of energy. Even people from different organizations get along well with each other, and more and more new blood is coming. If this continues to develop in a virtuous cycle, it may become a small Dragon City.
The most important thing is that this place has just developed and there is not as much intrigue as in Longcheng.
Moreover, Su Xia's reputation here is much higher than they imagined.
He didn't need to fight for power at all. If he wanted to, Xiong Wei and others would directly hand over the position of camp leader to him with just one word from him.
This situation is not seen in other camps.
"The Oasis Camp feels much better than the rebel camps I've been to before." Sun Lang squinted his eyes, jumped onto a stone on the side of the road, and took in most of the camp's conditions.
He likes adventure and has been to all parts of the world, including the other two continents many times. Naturally, he has seen many human resistance organizations.
Wherever there are people, there is struggle, even in the smallest organizations.
But the Oasis Camp gave him some surprises. Bei Feng’s reputation here was so high that it could crush all conflicts and he had become a spiritual symbol.
And this spiritual symbol is what the mechanical race fears the most.
"How do we solve the problem of supplies here? Should we purchase them from surrounding cities? How's the communication with other camps?" The old dean was quite concerned about these issues and chatted with Xiong Wei as they walked.
Although they all wanted to see the alien wreckage, they were not in a hurry. After all, that thing would not run away.
Xiong Wei answered these questions one by one and asked in detail how Longcheng dealt with these aspects.
Wang Luo and others nearby took out hard candies and fruit-flavored drinks from their emergency food packs and distributed them to the children around them with a smile.
Soon, everyone arrived at the meeting hall in the center of the camp.
The meeting hall is quite large, large enough to accommodate several hundred people.
"Everyone, please come in and have some hot tea first."
Xiong Wei invited everyone in and then closed the door of the hall.
The door closed tightly, separating the hall from the outside world.
Seeing his action, everyone was stunned and realized that the current situation might not be as good as it appeared in the camp outside.
Closing the door means talking about things.
In the meeting hall, there were people from the Oasis Camp represented by Xiong Wei, people from the United Camp represented by Ms. Liu Ye, as well as the old dean and people from Dragon City including Wang Luo. It was enough time to discuss important matters.
"Mr. Xiong, has the situation been very bad these days?" Su Xia was the first to speak, and he roughly understood what they wanted to talk about.
"right."
Xiong Wei looked solemn, no longer as relaxed as he was outside just now, and said to everyone: "I don't know if you have received the news, something happened in the joint camp."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Shi Sishi and others.
Shi Sishi's face didn't look good, but everyone was looking at him, so he could only nod reluctantly: "We already know."
"Yes, Commander Beifeng has already told us about this." Several of his disciples beside him also spoke up.
"How did the commander know that?" Xiong Wei was stunned. He thought that Longcheng was well-informed and that the news should have been received by the old dean and others after they escaped.
"I have a friend in Coral City."
Su Xia answered this way with a calm expression and didn't say much.
But the less he said, the more people speculated - could it be that the friend was someone inside the mechanical base?
Xiong Wei asked in surprise: "So, it was your friend, Commander, who notified the Zero Point Tavern?"
"That's right." Su Xia nodded.
"No wonder……"
Xiong Wei suddenly realized something and continued, "Fortunately your friend notified us in time, otherwise the joint camp would have been in real trouble this time."
As he said this, he glanced at Shi Shishi again.
Everyone knows that Shi Sishi messed up this time and almost killed the lives of the entire camp.
He almost became infamous for all eternity and was written into history books as a negative example.
In fact, he owed Su Xia a huge favor.
But until now, the old guy has not said a word of thanks to Su Xia, and only a few of his disciples have expressed their apologies to Su Xia.
"The problem in the joint camp has been solved for the time being, but the danger has just begun." Xiong Wei sighed and recounted what had happened in the past few days.
"Many of our contacts in the cities in the southwest region have encountered problems, especially in Coral City and Waste Armor City. The mechanical tribe is investigating more and more strictly."
Su Xia was the only one who knew more about the specific circumstances, after all, he was an eyewitness to the events of the past few days.
The rest of the people, including the Longcheng team, only received some news from the headquarters last night and on the way this morning, but they did not expect the matter to be so serious.
Longcheng can be self-sufficient, so there won't be any major problems.
But for small organizations and camps in the southwest region of the continent, many supplies need to be provided by surrounding cities.
The incident at the joint camp, coupled with Dad’s incident, triggered a series of chain reactions, making it increasingly difficult for small organizations to survive.
"Everyone is in danger." Xiong Wei sighed, "The few middlemen who used to contact me frequently have now cut off contact with me in order to protect themselves."
After all, the Oasis Camp has a strong foundation and can still hold on, but it is hard to say about the other camps.
The reality is tough.
Xiong Wei has connections with many resistance organizations and learned that they are all having a hard time. In a while, some members of the organizations may not even be able to guarantee enough food and clothing every day.
Why live so hard?
Even if you dedicate your best years to this difficult road, or even lose your life, you will not receive many thanks from others, and most of what you get will be misunderstanding.
If surrendering can allow you to live Zhao Si's life, what is the point of resisting and persisting?
"We understand." The old dean said solemnly, "Longcheng will find a solution as soon as possible. Please hold on. The current difficulties will eventually pass."
"I feel relieved when you say this."
Xiong Wei had a tired look on his face, probably because he hadn't had enough rest in the past few days.
He was not only speaking for himself, but also for those people in the southwest region who were still persisting, so he had to get a guarantee from Longcheng.
It is indeed difficult now, but no matter how difficult the task is, someone has to do it.
"How should the members of the joint camp be arranged? Do you have any ideas now?" Xiong Wei asked again: "Should we set up a new camp separately, or merge it into another camp?"
"If we set up a new camp, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the site selection will also be a problem." The old dean spoke on behalf of Shi Sishi, basically representing the opinions of the entire college.
Wang Luo next to him nodded slightly and said nothing, which meant he agreed with his opinion.
Ms. Liu Ye, Lu Long and others, as representatives of the joint camp, looked at each other. No one stood up to say anything, and they tacitly agreed with the old dean's words.
"In that case, let's merge into the Oasis Camp." Xiong Wei understood what they meant.
"Okay." Ms. Liuye nodded happily, "Thank you Mr. Xiong and the commander, we are very grateful."
“It should be.”
Xiong Wei smiled again, and then asked, "This time, the Zero Point Tavern has helped us a lot, and even caused dissatisfaction among the mechanical people. Do we need to communicate with them?"
"Longcheng will communicate with the tavern." Wang Luo said, "We can handle it. Don't worry about this issue."
"That's good……"
As many problems were solved, the atmosphere in the hall gradually calmed down and became less depressing.
But there are still a few people who frown and remain silent. After all, the road ahead is confusing, and everyone is taking one step at a time, not knowing how far they can go.
In fact, this is not the most critical moment and we can still bear it.
A more critical moment occurred a few years ago. Even in the main human cities such as Longcheng and Polo, a large number of surrenderists appeared, shouting that they could not survive and wanted to open the door of surrender and submit to the mechanical camp.
In the end, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, and the situation gradually improved over the past few years.
"There are some things that need attention regarding the joint camp."
In the meeting hall, Ms. Liu Ye and others began to speak, explaining their ideas on the merger of the United Camp and the Oasis Camp.
Afterwards, the others began to express their opinions, and even Su Xia said a few words.
The meeting lasted for a long time and did not end until three o'clock in the afternoon.
After the meeting, Cheng Pingan, Zheng Yue and others from the Beifeng organization found Su Xia and explained to her the recent development of the Beifeng organization.
"If we don't count the undead, we already have 600 combat members, and we have sufficient supplies at the moment." Cheng Ping'an is a steady young man with a meticulous mind, and he has developed the organization very well.
The development model of the New Beifeng organization is very different from that of the old organization. It does not have many logistical personnel, and almost all of its members are soldiers.
When you need supplies, just buy them directly from the trading place in the Oasis Camp.
Su Xia's little fanboy Song Zhong also joined the Beifeng organization with his team.
Song Zhong is an idealistic young man. Although he is timid, he is very courageous at critical moments. Otherwise, he would not have led his team to pick up Su Xia who had just escaped from the mechanical laboratory.
His team used to be one of the teams that transported supplies to the oasis camp and was not good at frontal combat.
After joining Beifeng, they naturally became the logistics support group of the Beifeng organization.
"Commander, my friends in Coral City have not had an easy time during this period." Song Zhong held a black Commander Beifeng doll and sighed repeatedly.
The friends he was talking about were naturally the members of the North Wind Story Club.
This little black doll is a symbol of their membership.
"Don't worry, they will be fine." Su Xia said.
"Commander, do you know them too?" Song Zhong asked.
"Of course I know." Su Xia smiled, "When this is over, I will bring them to the Oasis Camp so that everyone can meet each other."
"I knew you had a way, Commander!"
Song Zhong grinned. Although he didn't know what the method was, he firmly believed that Su Xia could do it.
So what if the opponent is a level 5 creature from the Zero Point Tavern? As long as Su Xia takes action, nothing is impossible!
This is a belief held in the hearts of many camp members.
As long as Su Xia doesn't fall, this belief will last forever.
"Commander, the two brothers Mo Zheng and Mo Zhan went to garrison at the old base, and they only sent back news this morning." Cheng Ping'an took over the topic again and handed Su Xia the latest news.
The message stated:
[There are many undead who want to join the organization. Should we continue to recruit undead members? ]
It is an honor to join the North Wind Organization. At the same time, players can also learn advanced skills such as [Ordinary Three Punches] and get in touch with game plots that ordinary players cannot access, so many players are waiting - Su Xia has promised before that when the time is right, he will continue to recruit undead.
"What do you think of the undead?" Su Xia asked Cheng Pingan and others, holding the note with the message.
“Most of them are not very good.”
To be honest, Cheng Pingan does not have a high opinion of ordinary players.
Both parties have different growth environments, personal concepts, and past experiences, so it is normal that the evaluation is not high.
"But the 100 people we recruited last time were very courageous." Cheng Ping'an changed the subject and affirmed the members who fought together last time, "Even though they knew they were no match for the enemy, they did not retreat and provided a lot of help for us to eliminate An Lan."
"Yeah, not bad."
Su Xia nodded, this evaluation was very pertinent.
He put away the message and said to everyone, "After I settle the members of Dragon City, I will go to the old base. It's time to expand the recruitment."
"Commander, I'll go with you."
"No, I can move faster on my own."
Afterwards, Su Xia went to see the current base of the North Wind Organization and met the newly recruited members.
Some members came from other organizations, and others were refugees absorbed by the Oasis camp. Their identities were all clean.
Su Xia looked over all these people, read their personal descriptions one by one, and made sure there were no problems. Then he gave a few brief instructions and left the base.
He returned to the meeting hall, where people were still chatting in groups of three or four.
"Let's go, everyone. It's time to go and see the wreckage." Su Xia said to everyone.
"I've been waiting for you to say this!"
Sun Lang's eyes lit up, and he was the first to jump up from his seat, as if he couldn't wait any longer.
In this meeting hall, there were only two tavern members, him and Chang Rufeng. The unconscious person had been arranged to lie in a separate room.
The two of them didn't have much to talk about with the others, so they just kept waiting in boredom for Su Xia to come back.
"The wreckage of the alien spacecraft has not been made public yet and is also a secret to many members of the camp. Please keep a low profile." Su Xia and Xiong Wei walked in front, while Zhang Fang accompanied the old dean.
"Why didn't you tell the rest of the camp?" asked a college professor.
"Not everyone can accept aliens." Su Xia explained patiently, "Even you can't be calm, let alone the other ordinary members?"
"That's right, I didn't think it through."
The wreckage was not far from the camp, in a crevice at the foot of a mountain. There were several simple tents around the crevice, with a lot of equipment and materials piled in the tents.
Recently, Zhang Fang has been living here, guarding and conducting research at the same time.
Hal is here too.
At that time, Su Xia brought up a portable projector that could roll slowly, making it easier for Hal to move on the ground.
After Su Xia left, Zhang Fang sometimes entered the rift and sometimes returned to the ground . He often asked Hal questions about the starry sky and gained a lot.
"Captain." Hal saw Su Xia from afar and projected his virtual body, which was a flashing red dot.
"Hal, long time no see." Su Xia said with a smile.
"Soon, I think the captain should see another piece of wreckage, right?"
"Um."
"Congratulations, Captain."
"Thank you very much, otherwise it wouldn't be so smooth."
"Captain, have you found a complete small exploration ship?" Hal asked with a glimmer of hope. It seemed that he still wanted to return to the starry sky.
"No." Su Xia shook her head.
"oh……"
Hal didn't say anything else, and there wasn't much emotion in his words.
