Chapter 3 Waiting for Anxiety
A day passed. This time, not only the soldiers, but all the decision-making levels of the village were concentrated at the forefront of the team. Everyone's faces were very nervous, even Liu Le and Xie De were no exception.
Duan Peng has told them about Wilton's inference. Although there are no specific conditions to prove that Wilton's inference is correct, everyone admits that Wilton's inference is very reasonable.
However, even if everyone knew that what Wilton said was reasonable, they had to move forward bravely.
Yesterday, the appearance of the city in the village was just a rumor, but now everyone has seen the outline of the city, and the outline is becoming clearer and clearer.
This is their final destination. Do you want Dong Ming to tell the people in the village that it is dangerous in front of them. Let's give up.
Well, even if the villagers agree with this statement, where should the team go?
Is it possible to continue to wander around, but what may happen in the process of wandering may be more dangerous than hitting the encirclement of robots.
So, there is no other way but to wait quietly.
Wilton said that if there is no accident, the team should have reached the periphery of the city after marching for about a day and a half. Now a day has passed, that is to say, if Wilton's calculation is correct and the inference is correct, it is almost time to see the result.
Therefore, everyone is very nervous. Although they can't see anything, they always stare in the forward direction.
In addition to Duan Peng, this news was the first thing Dong Ming knew. After a day and a night of mental and physical torture, Dong Ming's body finally showed fatigue, and his hands couldn't help shaking gently.
After all, he is old. Even with the foundation of a martial arts master, Dong Ming still can't stand a long wait.
Originally, as a general, in addition to making the most correct decision for the village at important times, he needed to be determined, but Dong Ming didn't know whether it was because of his age that he began to regret it often. For example, now, after such things along the way, Dong Ming even began to doubt himself. Previous choice.
He glanced around everyone's faces and saw that everyone looked anxious. Dong Ming finally couldn't help picking up the caller beside him.
"The scout team, I'm Dong Ming. Please answer when you hear it!"
"I'm a scout team, general, please give instructions!"
Dong Ming's choice was right. Hearing the answer of the scout team, the expression on everyone's faces suddenly became more comfortable, because only when they heard the sound could everyone feel the action of the scout team.
After a short pause, Dong Ming asked again, "Have you found anything strange in front of you?"
"Report to the general, everything is normal, and nothing strange has been found so far."
There is still nothing different. I don't know how many times I have asked, but every time I ask, I answer like this.
Just paused for a moment, Dong Ming finally couldn't help turning his head and looking at Duan Peng.
"Xiao Peng, where is Xiao Wei? Can you ask him to try to sense the other party's signal?
Dong Ming's proposal suddenly focused everyone's eyes on Duan Peng, and their eyes were also full of anxiety and expectation. Such waiting is too tortured. If Wilton is willing to sense the other party's signal, it will save a lot of time for the village. And more importantly, we can stop everyone from accepting the torture of time.
"No." Duan Peng's eager eyes made Duan Peng uncomfortable, but he just hesitated. Duan Peng still shook his head firmly. He repeated what he had said once to everyone, "I think what Xiao Wei said is very reasonable. When he senses the other party, the other party can also sense him, and advanced intelligence is in the machine. The position within people is quite important. If the other party senses Xiaowei, the other party's focus may immediately shift to us, and then..."
Duan Peng did not continue to say, but everyone has understood what Duan Peng means. Although we don't know whether what Wilton said will happen, the village can't afford to gamble. If the other party's focus really becomes them, let alone break through the siege of robots and enter the city, I'm afraid that the besieged will become self- Self.
The last time I was besieged by robots in the plain, it was just a rush of advanced intelligence, but now, if Wilton's inference is correct, that is, I don't know how long the robots have besieged the city, so there will be more robots here, and it will be more convenient to mobilization.
In the face of such a huge robot team, the village really doesn't know if there is a chance to survive.
However, even if everyone understands what Duan Peng means, not everyone agrees. Soon after Duan Peng's voice fell, Xie De's voice sounded.
"Xiaopeng, in fact, we also know that what you said is very reasonable, but it has been a day, and the mecha scouts in front of us have not come back any bad news so far. I think maybe we are too nervous, or Xiaowei just quickly turned on the signal device, which will not have any impact on us. ?"
"No." Duan Peng still shook his head resolutely, "Just because the time is approaching, we can't act rashly. After such a long wait, can't we even wait for the little time in front of us?"
"Well, just pretend I didn't say that."
Because he has always played the role of the grass in the middle wall, Xie De's status in the decision-making level is getting lower and lower, and sometimes even Duan Peng can't compete with him. Therefore, after seeing Duan Peng's resolute attitude, Xie De had no choice but to give up.
However, even the wall grass is useful. After all, Xie De still represents the power of a branch, so after Xie De retreated, someone still stood up.
"I think what Brother Xie said is right. It's not a way for everyone to wait so worried. Why don't we set a time? If the previous scouts still don't get back the news at that time, how about Xiaopeng persuade Xiaowei?"
It's Liu Le. Liu Le himself may not think that Xie De is right, but his power is much thinner now. Many times, he must win Xie De's support.
Everyone also knows what Liu Le wants to do, but everyone has to admit that Liu Le's words are also a little reasonable. After all, such waiting is really too tortured. Just for a moment, Dong Ming couldn't help nodding. Obviously, Dong Ming was told by Liu Le. Immoved.
"Xiaopeng, why don't you make a deal? If there is still no news after an hour, then you can persuade Xiaowei. After all, such induction is not all bad. At least, after we get the news, we can prepare first."
Duan Peng hesitated. To be honest, Duan Peng didn't want to pay attention to such a proposal, but looking at everyone's eyes focused on him, even Huang Chi and others who cared about him were no exception. In the end, Duan Peng could only nodded heavily.
Time passes little by little.
It was said to give Duan Peng an hour, but only half an hour later, Xie De's mouth opened several times, but perhaps because of the agreement, although Xie De's mouth opened several times, there was no sound popping out of his mouth.
Of course, not only Xie De, but also such an environment was really uncomfortable. Half an hour of waiting made everyone look ugly. Dong Ming's solemnity, Huang Chi's anxiety, Xie De's panic, and even Zhong Xi and Gao Ming, who had always been calm, frowned.
40 minutes!
Sed's mouth opened again, and this time, Xiede finally made a sound.
"Xiaopeng..."
Duan Peng did not ask Xie De to say what he said. Xie De just popped out two words. Duan Peng directly interrupted Xie De's voice and interrupted him, "Uncle Xie, there are still 20 minutes left now. Can't Uncle Xie wait for 20 minutes?"
may have been forced. Duan Peng's tone was not very good, but Xie De couldn't take care of it. Such waiting would drive Xie De crazy. Every minute and every second was a kind of torment for Xie De. Even if he was despised by a little guy like Duan Peng, Xie De still opened his mouth.
"Xiaopeng, I know there are 20 minutes left, but there are only 20 minutes left. Can't we start early? Besides, it will take a little time for you to persuade Wilton!"
In the face of Xie De's words, Duan Peng did not answer, and his eyes swept over the faces of the people around him.
may have really reached everyone's limit. Although no one has spoken to support Xie De's speech, Duan Peng can still see the approval from everyone's faces. Even Duan Peng's eldest brother Zhong Xi is constantly **. Obviously, Zhong Xi also has the idea of comforting Duan Peng.
Silent! After two minutes of silence, seeing Xie De's mouth open again, Duan Peng finally retreated.
With a long sigh, Duan Peng said to everyone, "Okay, I'm going to communicate with Xiaowei."
Hearing Duan Peng's words, Xie Dechang exhaled.
It's not just Xie De. When Duan Peng's voice fell, almost everyone couldn't help taking a long breath.
It seems that Duan Peng's judgment is right. Everyone is really waiting for Duan Peng to change his decision, but everyone is not as impatient as Xie De.
After scanning everyone's faces again, Duan Peng finally raised his foot.
However, at the moment when Duan Peng raised his foot and didn't have time to turn around, a sound suddenly came from the speaker beside Dong Ming.
"The scout team calls the general, and the scout team calls the general!"
Duan Peng was ready to negotiate with Wilton. Unexpectedly, just as soon as Duan Peng was about to leave, there was a sudden response from the scout. The gap was so big that Dong Ming couldn't help losing his mind, but Dong Ming broke away from his mind and grabbed the caller.
"I'm Dong Ming. What's going on? Tell me!"
