Chapter 211 The Hunger Games
The search team led by Su sent back news one after another in the afternoon.
Carpet-style search within 500 kilometers with the place of the incident as the origin. This work progressed very quickly with the efforts of soldiers with an average ability of about three levels. In Su's report, Zero and the other two captains can see it. There was almost no trace within 300 kilometers, but when the range expanded to about 400 kilometers, the search team gradually found some marks on the wheels.
When it reached a range of 500 kilometers, the search team found dense car marks. Judging from the traces, the rider has no less than three four-wheel drive vehicles and more than 20 modified motorcycles. This has reached the size of a medium-sized fleet and has the ability to operate flexibly. Judging from the traces left by the convoy, the robbers went deep south of the coastline.
Although the search team continued to track, the fleet was interrupted when it reached a distance of about 700 kilometers due to the influence of the environment and mutant organisms and other factors due to the passage of some urban ruins in the wilderness.
Although the report has ended here, it has provided a general direction for the robbers to leave. So in the combat conference room provided by George, a topographic map of the area south of the coastline appeared on the light screen on the wall of the conference room.
It can be seen from the topographic map that there are more urban ruins in the area south of the coastline, which has a lot to do with the southern landform mostly plains. At the same time, there are many veins in the known southern region. At present, a few large companies or chaebols provide funds for excavation and production, but more of them are abandoned mines left over from the old era.
It can be said that there are too many places for robbers to hide in the southern area of the plain. Taking a general statistic of urban ruins and abandoned mines, more than a few people can see hundreds of such hiding places, or even more.
In turbulent times, there is no perfect communication network and monitoring system as in the old days. Even if the robbers hide in no man's land, they can find out the approximate location of the target through the above information. In the new era, as long as you are not afraid of danger and go into the wilderness, it is not easy to find out the target. What's more, judging from the size of the other team's fleet, this team can cope with general dangerous events and have a certain food supply.
In other words, even if a large amount of human and material resources are used to search for possible hiding points one by one. Even if the robbers do not move, it will take at least three to five months to find them.
Obviously, they don't have this time to play with the robbers. Therefore, the atmosphere in the war room seems a little depressing.
"Much of the things they grab are metal components. These things are useless for armed mob, and they will be valuable as long as they are sold. As far as I know, there are many dirty underground black markets in the wilderness. Maybe we can get information about the robbers by monitoring these underground black markets. Anthony proposed that as the captain of the Pioneer team, he has always been careful and good at reverse thinking. In the passive situation at this moment, his proposal is also feasible.
Zero passed through the intelligent brain of the conference room and listed several photos on the light screen of the wall. The light screen shows photos of several dead people. Looking at these photos, Zero said, "We have made a preliminary analysis of the bodies of the victims, and we can see that there is at least one person in the other team who has the ability to perceive the domain. Two of the bodies were seriously damaged in the head, and it should have been killed by blunt weapons like a war hammer. Combined with the degree of deformation of the metal components on the off-road vehicle, the murderer has at least two levels of power reinforcement. But we also need to pay attention to the fact that the soldiers of the escort have more than two levels of ability on average, and Captain Sam is a third-level ability, which shows that the killer's ability should have about four levels of ability.
"What on earth do you want to explain after saying this bunch of things?" Ronken shouted impatiently.
Zero looked at him and said silently, "I want you to know that this robber has a fourth-order fighting ability, a perceptual domain ability plus no less than 50 armed mobers. Such a team, even if it has a reserve of food, will soon run out.
"I see." Anthony nodded and said, "You mean, we can monitor the bases in major cities south of the coastline. If a large number of food are sold, they can be tracked and finally find the hiding place of this armed mobe.
"All of them." Zero shook his head and said, "That's the same as your suggestion just now, which is too passive. We need a more proactive way to find their hiding place.
Ronken said, "What can you do?"
Ling laughed and said, "If we make a gesture of searching for this armed moat at the bases in major cities, they will certainly not be able to get supplies in cities or bases. And in this situation of food shortage, if they hear that a truck full of food will drive from Phoenix to Remte, how do you think these armed mob will react?
George fell on his thigh and said, "That's naturally another ticket, so as not to starve to death."
"That's it. If you have no objection, I suggest you take action. Ling said lightly, "And the code name of this operation is called 'Hunger Games'!"
The deafening sound came from the generator sets in the mine. These high-power generators were obtained by wolf thieves from a looting operation and became the power supply source of the new base. It's just that generators are powered by old-fashioned diesel. In the new era of increasing solid combustion, diesel is a resource that has become quite scarce. At present, the diesel reserves in the new base can only be supplied normally for three to five days, which gives the ghost fox a headache.
After Ichifu took over the wolf thief, the new leader immediately gave up the base previously located in the ruined stadium. And it turned out that Kazuo Bianwatari was right. Shortly after they left, Titan's army carried out a siege of the stadium. Of course, the other party is in vain.
Since then, Ichifu Biandu carefully chose this abandoned mine behind Remte, nearly five kilometers from the coastline highway, as the new base. At present, the base has been partially renovated to facilitate the living of wolf thieves.
The repair of the power system is one of the transformations. But now, the depletion of diesel has hurt the ghost fox. But this is not the most important thing. There is no power supply, and at most the black lights in the mine can be tolerated. What really hurts the ghost fox is that their reserve food is almost finished.
