Chapter 5 Siege

The front scout team finally sent back the news, and everything was the same as Wilton's inference.

The closer it is to the city, the more robots there are, but it won't be long before the scout team can move forward, but the scout team also saw the results.

From afar, the city is full of robots. Although I don't know if it is Kong Rong's 100,000 units, it has indeed reached the point where the number cannot be calculated, and at such a scale, the specific number is meaningless to Dongjia Village. The final result of 100,000 and 10,000 is the same.

However, in the face of such a result, the village still firmly implemented Duan Peng's proposal - to move on.

Because there are mobility tools, the team is not moving slowly. Coupled with Duan Peng's last reason, the team did not have the idea of avoiding and went straight to the direction where the scout team stopped.

Five kilometers......

There are still five kilometers away from the position of the scout team, and the team in Dongjia Village finally saw the robot.

Duan Peng and others only heard the report of the scout team, but when they really went deep, they found out what the scattered robots in the mouth of the scout team looked like.

The whole Qiulin is full of wandering robot teams, which are widely distributed. For teams like Dongjiacun, it is almost inevitable to encounter them.

But at this moment, a strange phenomenon happened.

Just when Duan Peng and the others saw the robot team and were ready to fight with these robot teams, the robots dispersed - as if they were hiding from the team in Dongjia Village.

"What's going on?" Dong Ming muttered.

After a day and a night of waiting, Dong Ming is very tired and looks very ugly, but now it is the most critical time. In the face of such a strong pressure, only Dong Ming can bring confidence to everyone, so even if he is tired, Dong Ming still sticks to the forefront of the team.

Dong Ming did not leave, and it is naturally inconvenient for others to leave. Almost all the decision makers are waiting like Dong Ming.

The strange phenomenon is not only seen by Dong Ming, but also by others. Their hearts are also full of questions like Dong Ming. Naturally, they can't answer Dong Ming's questions.

But even if it can't answer, the team has to continue to move forward, because this strange phenomenon has at least shown that Duan Peng's inference is correct. The avoidance of these robots obviously has advanced intelligence in the back, that is to say, these robots really know their existence.

It is getting closer and closer to the city. Although this is their long-awaited goal, after hearing the report of the scout team, their eyebrows are getting tighter and tighter, and there is always a cloud oppressing their hearts.

Three kilometers......

It is closer, which may be the reason why it is closer to the city, and the trees have become more and more sparse. Even Duan Peng, who shuttles through the woods, can also clearly see the city.

The last time, in the robot fortress, Duan Peng once thought that the fortress would be the most magnificent building he had ever seen in his life. The wall was tall and thick, and most importantly, when Duan Peng stood under the wall, he could hardly see the end of the wall at a glance.

But now, Duan Peng is stunned by the building in front of him.

The team is still three kilometers away from the position of the scout team, but it is far from the city, but such a distant shadow is enough to shock Duan Peng.

The towering buildings may be to meet the needs of war. These buildings are built with huge energy cannons, and even Duan Peng, who is far away, can see clearly.

After a while, the initial shock finally dissipated from Duan Peng's face, but as time went by, a trace of doubt slowly rose on Duan Peng's face.

General, isn't the attack distance of energy weapons only 200 meters? Why does the city put energy cannons on the top of those tall buildings?

The closer the atmosphere, the more tense the atmosphere. Almost everyone's nerves were tense, but when they heard Duan Peng's question, everyone's nerves relaxed at that moment.

"Those are not energy cannons. They use physical shells for long-range strikes."

Although Dong Ming explained clearly, Duan Peng is still a little confused. After all, Duan Peng has never seen a long-range weapon with a physical bullet since he can remember.

One kilometer......

Duan Peng's childish problems can be regarded as temporarily relaxing everyone's mood, but this is only temporary. When the team is still one kilometer away from the scout team, everyone's expressions regained seriousness. Of course, after a short relaxation, the endurance of everyone's nerves has increased a lot more than before.

Finally, the team arrived at the side of the scout team, but when the team rushed to the side of the scout team, everyone couldn't help smiling bitterly.

They finally know the reason why the scout team can't move forward.

Because the scout team has reached the edge of the forest, but the edge of the forest is still at least three kilometers away from the city, and between them and the city is a dense robot, which is indeed impossible to calculate the number as reported by the scout team.

"There's no way to get through this!" Xie De's face was pale, and he trembled involuntarily.

If he heard such a discouragement at ordinary times, Dong Ming would definitely implement the village head's rights and teach Xie De a hard lesson, but at this moment, Dong Ming also lost the mood to teach Dong Ming a lesson. There are too many. As Xie De said, they have no possibility of going there.

"I told you, we shouldn't have rushed in!" Seeing that Dong Ming did not scold Xie De, Kong Rong was much bolder, but he calmed down a little for a while, and Kong Rong also complained in a low voice.

Xie De's complaint may be just because of fear, but Kong Rong's complaint was obviously pointed, and Dong Ming's eyebrows finally frowned.

Before that, Dong Ming had thought about whether he could find a way to resolve Kong Rong's resentment, such as asking Duan Peng to apologize to Kong Rong, or compensation for a position for Kong Rong, but now Dong Ming can be said to be completely disappointed with Kong Rong.

The decision has been implemented, that is to say, there is no room for a turnaround. What can be done now is to come up with a way, but Kong Rong did not think of a way at this time, but wanted to lead everyone to Duan Peng. It is up to Dong Ming not to be disappointed.

But Dong Ming, who was disappointed, failed to scold Kong Rong in the end, because at the moment Dong Ming opened his mouth, a man quickly rushed into the decision-making level.

"Report...Report to the general!"

The man ran in a hurry. His chest was constantly ups and down, and his forehead was covered with sweat, but the man's face was not bloody at all.

Looking at the appearance of the people coming, Dong Ming finally suppressed his anger and said, "What's the matter?"

"After..." Maybe it was because he ran too quickly that the person could not speak at all. After a long time, he swallowed his saliva and breathed hard twice before opening his mouth again. "The back... face, and... both sides, came out... There are a large number of robots, me and I... We have been... surrounded!"

"What?"

It's not just Dong Ming, but several people exclaimed at the same time as Dong Ming.

When they came in, all the robots made way for them, but they didn't think much about it. But at this moment, they understood that the reason why the robots gave way was to surround them. With such an obvious intention, they actually got in like a fool.

............

The Acropolis is one of the first human cities developed on the planet. After the construction of the city, most of the robots of the Acropolis were sent out to help other cities build. Qian Boyu once lost his temper about this matter, believing that the construction of other cities delayed the development of the Acropolis, but Qian Boyu I didn't expect such an arrangement to save the Acropolis.

"It's been half a month!"

On the wall, an old man in his fifties and a middle-aged man in his forties are standing on the wall and quietly looking at the robots outside the wall.

The old man is Qian Boyu, the military manager of this city, before the outbreak of the war*, and Ning Xu, an adjutant of Qian Boyu in his forties. They are carrying out daily inspection missions.

As Qian Boyu's adjutant, Ning Xu knew the meaning of Qian Boyu's question and heard Qian Boyu's question, Ning Xu couldn't help smiling.

"Yes, General! It's been 16 days."

Sure enough, after hearing the specific date of Ning Xu's reply, Qian Boyu's face also showed a relaxed smile.

"16 days, this time has been longer than before, and I believe the robot is about to retreat."

"Yes, General!"

While talking, Qian Boyu took another look at the robot outside the city, but at this glance, it was more relaxed. Although in Qian Boyu's view, it was just an unrealistic fantasy that the robot wanted to break through the city, Qian Boyu always had some worries every time the robot concentrated on attacking the city.

After looking for a while, Qian Boyu slowly moved his eyes back and said to Ning Xu, "Give me the order, all the members of the mecha team are ready to attack at any time!"

"Yes!" Order is an order. Although Ning Xu is Qian Boyu's adjutant and has been with each other for more than ten years, when Qian Boyu said the word order, Ning Xu immediately restrained his smile.

After the salute, Ning Xu was ready to leave, but just as Ning Xu was about to move, Qian Boyu suddenly made a sound.

"Wait!"

There was a trace of doubt on Ning Xu's face, but Ning Xu's self-control was obviously good. Although he didn't know why Qian Boyu stopped, Ning Xu still resisted his curiosity and did not ask.

For good, Qian Boyu did not let Ning Xu wait for too long, but just paused for a moment, and Qian Boyu raised his finger to the distance.

"What do you see?"
