My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1505

[1496. Chapter 1473: Rooting Operation, Preparations before War!]

“But people’s hearts will change after all.”

The general manager lowered his head and pondered, as if he was reminiscing, or as if he was lamenting the passage of time.

In the past, the Operations Department only suspected Wang Rong, but there was never any key evidence to convict him.

Furthermore, given Wang Rong’s status, even if he leaked some information, the operations department below would not be qualified to launch a detailed investigation on him.

After all, no one knew whether Wang Rong had secretly received some mission to lure the enemy out.

If the Operations Department rashly gets involved and disrupts the mission, it will be a huge trouble.

However, this time the situation is completely different.

The urgent intelligence from Tianyuan revealed more than one big rat, Wang Rong, at one time.

In the satellite cities of the entire Dragon Flag Territory alone, as many as forty people were checked last night.

Among them, although Wang Rong is the person with the highest status, he has eight subordinates under him, distributed in various important departments of the Longqi territory.

This discovery is shocking enough and also regrettable enough.

“Commander-in-Chief, only a small number of people have changed. Most people are still rational.”

Xiao Zhu tried to comfort her.

Unexpectedly, the general manager waved his hand indifferently, looked up and smiled.

“Don’t comfort me. I understand this truth. I can’t doubt everyone around me just because of Wang Rong.”

“Okay, now that we have the evidence against Wang Rong, let’s start the arrest operation.”

“yes!”

Xiao Zhu immediately stood up straight, saluted, turned around and left.

However, before leaving, he felt something and turned to look at the general manager sitting on the chair.

The general manager, who had been forcing a smile just now, had now completely taken off his disguise. He slumped down on the stool, looking a little dazed, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Director
Xiao Zhu swallowed, opened the door and left quietly.

In fact, he knew better than anyone that the relationship between the Generalissimo and Wang Rong was not as simple as old classmates.

But what’s the use?
Different philosophies can cause even brothers to turn against each other.

Wasteland, wasteland.

Even if this turmoil ends, how can the surviving humans return to their previous peaceful life?

Boom.

Bean-sized raindrops fell on the Xinghuo Satellite City.

The ferocious action team rushed into the accommodation area of the information receiving and sending office and headed straight for Wang Rong’s residence.

However, when the team members arrived near the residence, they found that the door was ajar.

Open the door.

Wang Rong sat calmly on the fabric sofa, carefully cleaning the white veins of the orange peel in his hand.

Even though a dozen fully armed soldiers suddenly rushed into the living room, they failed to attract his attention.

“Minister Wang, thank you for coming with us.” Xiao Zhu stepped forward and said in a serious tone.

“Okay, but can you wait until I finish eating this orange?”

“Of course, we have plenty of time tonight.”

Xiao Zhu nodded.

The famous ‘Scorpio’, a big rat lurking among the upper echelons of humanity.

Most of the important intelligence received by the alien races was leaked by the person in front of him.

On the way here, Xiao Zhu had already thought of how to capture and interrogate him.

But now that he was really standing in front of the other person, he felt powerless as to where to start.

Perhaps this is why the commander-in-chief knew that Wang Rong was a traitor, but had no way to deal with him and could only comfort himself with the reason that people’s hearts can change.

After all, at this point, some actions really can no longer be explained by common sense.

Baji.

Wang Rong ate seriously, one petal after another.

These fruits, which ripen only in late autumn, are the latest production of the Longqi Territory and are extremely expensive.

“I can’t bear to eat it on weekdays, but now is the time to indulge.”

“Minister Wang, you are joking. If you are reluctant to eat it, then there are not many people in our territory who dare to eat it.”

Xiao Zhu responded indifferently.

However, he soon discovered that something was wrong.

Wang Rong seemed to be eating oranges slower and slower, and the juice oozing from the corners of his mouth was mixed with a hint of scarlet.

“Oh no! Someone, come here! Wang Rong is going to commit suicide out of fear of punishment!”

Xiao Zhu shouted hurriedly, and several emergency personnel carrying medicines and equipment immediately rushed in from outside the door.

But from beginning to end, Wang Rong did not respond at all.

Even though the emergency personnel roughly stopped his actions and started testing with instruments, he just had a calm smile on his face and looked at Xiao Zhu quietly.

“Kid, you know, some people don’t deserve to live until dawn.”

“So, so you are going to surrender to the alien race and drag other innocent people to be buried with them? To pay for your own wish to resurrect your daughter?” Xiao Zhu finally couldn’t bear the hatred in his heart and roared.

“No, you are wrong, I have never had such an idea.” Wang Rong shook his head.

“My daughter, in fact, has no right to live until dawn. She is the real member of the Xiangsheng Society, codenamed “Poison Scorpion.”

“What?”

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the astonishment on Xiao Zhu’s face.

The poisonous scorpion, it turns out that it is not Wang Rong, but his daughter?
“Are you thinking…” Thinking of the eight subordinates under Wang Rong who were distributed in various important departments in the Dragon Flag Territory, they were found out in an unusually unified manner, Xiao Zhu finally realized something.

He could hardly believe his own speculation because it was far beyond the limits of his understanding.

Wang Rong, how could he be so easily able to get involved in the game? Are all the people in the Xiangsheng Society fools?
Unless…

“He is the chief.”

“He knows. He knows everything. So he handed this orange to me personally.”

More and more blood foam oozed out of Wang Rong’s mouth.

He smiled, not caring, and gently pushed the young paramedic’s hand away.

“Good boy, stop working and take a rest.”

“This is the alien race’s signature skill. How could it be cracked so easily?”

The blood pact signed with the alien race was triggered when the oath was violated.

If it weren’t for the physical fitness gains brought by the route, I would never have been able to persist until now and finish eating the oranges.

“You don’t, why don’t you?”

Xiao Zhu was a little emotionally broken, as the development of things was completely beyond his imagination.

It’s not just the change in Scorpion’s identity, but everything that’s happening right now that makes him feel powerless that he has done something wrong.

But unfortunately, the man sitting on the sofa had lost most of his strength and was unable to speak.

He raised his head with difficulty, and the luster in his eyes gradually faded.

Following his gaze, Xiao Zhu turned his head.

There is a portrait hanging on the wall.

It was a photo of Wang Rong and his daughter, with a bright sunny background and the sun high in the sky.

“The Xiangsheng Society is one of the most rampant traitor organizations in the wasteland today. Its sphere of influence spans the entire New World, with about 30,000 members. They mainly lurk around the Dragon Flag Territory, and their secondary sphere of activity is the North.”

“In terms of business attributes, the Xiangsheng Society’s main business is to collect important intelligence from humans, which is used to exchange with alien races for materials to maintain operations. In addition, they also take care of some regional chaos tasks, that is, artificially inciting unrest in the area to meet the special purposes of the alien races.”

“According to the character profiles provided by Long Qi, most of the people in the Xiangsheng Society have an extremely extreme desire for destruction. They take pleasure in the suffering of others and regard destroying the roots of humanity in the wasteland as their main goal. Another group of people are exactly the opposite. They join the Xiangsheng Society with their own goals, which they need the promise of the aliens to accomplish.”

Su Mo narrowed his eyes and tapped the corners of the table with his slender fingers, making a rhythmic sound.

You don’t know until you check, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

There are quite a few traitor organizations in the wasteland, and there are more than a dozen organizations that can be named.

Among them, the Xiangsheng Society is the largest.

At first glance, this organization seems to be a positive one, but in fact it is a huge gathering place for traitors.

The number of core members is as high as 30,000, and the number of peripheral members is nearly 100,000.

This scale is almost comparable to some small and medium-sized territories, and its influence is naturally growing.

“Anyway, it’s outrageous. Even the senior management of Longqi has been infiltrated.”

“Well, are they starting to move?”

“It has just ended. The code name was ‘Operation Rooting Out’. Unfortunately, the preparations were not sufficient. We were unable to completely wipe out all the bases and branches of the Xiangsheng Society. We were only able to capture some important figures and temporarily reduce the influence of the Xiangsheng Society.”

Qiao Yuansheng thought about it and shook his head with regret.

“It’s a pity that we humans paid a heavy price for this operation. Many people joined the game to lure out the rats in the dark, but were helplessly sacrificed under the control of the aliens.”

“Oh, I can’t explain it. This kind of thing is really hard to explain.”

The news that Tianyuan deliberately released Su Mo’s return was also an important signal to the three territories.

It’s time to clean out the rats in your house and prepare for the big war with alien races.

In fact, rape is nothing new in the wasteland.

With the free release of the world channel, as long as you watch it late at night, you can always find some traitorous organizations recruiting members under the banner of believing in aliens and gaining eternal life.

After all, compared to those illusory gods in human history, the gods behind the alien races are real.

Even if this game cannot be won, joining an alien race and surviving is still a suitable choice.

“Naive, the alien race doesn’t need some humans who can’t even provide faith.”

Hearing what Qiao Yuansheng said, Su Mo felt a little regretful, but this emotion soon turned into anger towards the rapist.

Compared with human obsession, those of alien races are nothing but child’s play.

As long as these people have never experienced something, they can always imagine it to be as wonderful as possible.

But what is the reality?
After Su Mo truly possessed the power of a god, he discovered that without the faith provided by the tribe and after using up all the accumulated divine power, the god was terribly weak.

For example, the false Tengu God was only one step away from igniting the divine fire, but he couldn’t even stop the missiles.

For example, the incarnations of the five ancestral gods are limited by their divine power and are unable to use powerful divine arts.

Therefore, the essence of gods lies in faith.

As long as they can provide enough power of faith, it doesn’t matter to the gods what the believers are.

However, humans themselves have no goals and no beliefs, so how can they provide power to these gods?

“I feel very relieved to let them handle this matter, so I will devote myself to the preparations for the gambling fight from now on.”

Su Mo closed the information in front of him.

Be it the uprooting operation or the war with alien races, these two things are far less important than the upcoming fight.

“This gambling fight involves a battle of faith. You can notify them. No one from the territory is allowed to enter.”

“Are you worried that we won’t be able to unify our faith?” Qiao Yuansheng pondered.

“That’s partly the reason, but the main reason is that after entering, everyone will become like an ordinary person when they first arrive in the wasteland. Let alone helping others, it will be difficult for them to survive.”

“What about the other territories? Do we need to notify them and not send anyone in?”

“No need. Besides, it’s useless even if you notify them. There will definitely be a lot of people going in this time.”

Su Mo shook his head.

The gambling fighting space can last up to one year, so as long as the humans who enter it choose to surrender immediately, when they come out, it is equivalent to getting a whole year of survival for free.

This is definitely a huge temptation for some people, enough to make them form a common belief for a short time.

In addition, when it comes to the fate of humanity in the wasteland, all territories, big and small, will certainly not put all their hopes on others, but will organize their own people to try.

Anyway, I can admit defeat, and the outcome is not decided in one game. It won’t be a loss to give it a try.

“That’s true, but the more people go in, the more trouble there will be.”

Qiao Yuansheng frowned.

It can only be said that the alien race that designed the first gambling fight scene did grasp the bad roots deeply rooted in human genes.

These conditions are indeed insignificant when taken individually, but when combined they form a tight logical chain.

It arouses the greed of the survivors and attracts countless people to join in like moths to a flame.

In the next few days, things developed just as Su Mo had expected, and the number of humans participating in the gambling fight in the game panel continued to soar.

Ten thousand.

fifty thousand.

One hundred thousand.

Three hundred thousand.

Five hundred thousand.
According to the standard of a maximum of one thousand people in each territory, the number of humans participating in the gambling fight quickly exceeded six figures.

Thousands of territories and nearly two million people signed up for this gambling fight.

Although the situation was found to be somewhat out of control, the three major territories promptly notified the lower levels and tried to stop it, but there were still a large number of territories that disobeyed and secretly ordered their personnel to continue to obtain entry qualifications.

There is no way around it. The rewards from the last gambling fight did make many people greedy.

They didn’t ask to win anything from this gambling fight, they just wanted to have a sip of soup from Su Mo’s side.

This is enough to help them change their fate after returning to the wasteland.

Eastern Front.

The cold wind of late autumn began to grow increasingly biting, and the rapid drop in temperature was like a cruel footnote to the tense confrontation between humans and alien races in the wasteland.

As the fight drew closer, the boundaries between the two sides became increasingly blurred, until friction finally broke out.

At first, it was just a surprise attack involving a few dozen people, with both sides testing each other’s bottom line and strength.

With sophisticated equipment, strict tactical layout and logistical support, humans can often quickly gain the upper hand and exert full suppression power.

Even though there were a few alien races with very strange abilities occasionally, they did not cause too many casualties.

Unfortunately, as time went on, the scale of the conflict gradually escalated, and small-scale encounters involving a few hundred people began to become the norm.

On the battlefield, human firearms and alien energy attacks were fired back and forth with great momentum.

Although humans can always rely on tactical command and marching formations to gain decisive advantages on the front battlefield, the incredible special abilities of alien races – such as teleportation, lurking camouflage, and large-scale sacrificial formations – can always turn the tide of the battle at the critical moment and create a glimmer of opportunity to reverse the defeat.

In addition, the competition for resources has become another focus of the confrontation between the two sides.

By utilizing an efficient logistics system, resources in the rear can be quickly transported to the front lines for support.

The alien races do not have this ability and can only live off the land and water.

Therefore, humans targeted scarce minerals, while alien races set their sights on food and water for survival.

The two sides competed with each other and made it their main goal to disrupt the other’s plans.

Of course, not all alien races are in a passive position.

After receiving instructions from traitors, there have been repeated incidents of small alien troops bypassing the front-line defenses and raiding the eastern, southern and northern regions, wreaking havoc.

Moreover, these attacks were very insidious. Unlike the previous ones, they were not aimed at killing. Instead, they precisely destroyed warehouses storing supplies and burned large amounts of supplies, posing a serious threat to human supply lines on the front line.

Every day, large numbers of survivors migrate away from the front lines.

When there were only two days left before the fight, there was no territory within a 500-kilometer radius with the front-line position as the center.

It can be foreseen that once a full-scale war begins, this place will become a cruel meat grinder.

Whether it is humans or aliens, they will pay an extremely painful price to win this war.
