Chapter 92: Gunshots
Located in the north of the grassland, between the two small towns, there is a river. The river has begun to dry up gradually, and the water source has become a problem for the two small towns.
Both towns were recently built. The rivers were still normal at the time of construction, but now the water is getting less and less. Although people from both sides negotiated and jointly built a reservoir, they did not reach an agreement in the end.
People in the towns on both sides have built their own reservoirs. The people who actually control the towns are small gangs, not family members. Many pioneers who followed these gangs are now having a hard time.
Many people are praying for some rain, so that they will feel better. The northern part is the last one to complete construction and development on the grassland. Now there is a mixture of dragons and snakes here. There are basically no large families, and medium-sized families are very rare.
This area is also the most underdeveloped. Many things are still from 20 to 30 years ago, but there are more than ten small town alliances here.
"What do you mean?"
A man raised his weapon angrily and looked at the people digging ditches across the river. One of them said disapprovingly.
"It's not yours, so you can dig it up."
For a moment, people on both sides began to curse across the 5-meter-wide river. This tense confrontation has lasted for three months. No one dared to fire the first shot because everyone knew that if a fight broke out, everyone would suffer. But it's not like letting the other party take advantage.
The mayors on both sides have talked about it countless times. It was okay at first, with most sarcastic words, but then they started to yell at each other, and even got physical several times during the period.
The mayors of the two towns are also actively wooing forces from all sides to support themselves. Originally, the matter only needed to be discussed by the two parties, but after other forces were involved, the matter has become more complicated. Irreconcilable.
Because the forces on both sides are hostile to each other, and many people are constantly fighting behind them, the situation in the two towns has become more and more dangerous. With just a little disturbance, a war is very likely to break out between the two sides, and the people behind the scenes have become more and more dangerous. Those forces will also intervene.
Under such coercion, the two sides became more and more aggressive. There was a fight between the two sides just a few days ago. Dozens of people were injured, but no one fired, but some people could no longer bear it.
The quarrel between the two sides became more and more intense. Many people pointed their guns at each other, and no one tried to dissuade them. Many people's patience had reached the limit. It was clearly discussed a few days ago that no private digging of ditches was allowed, but now the west side The town began to dig privately.
Water will only become less and less, and many people can only drink a little water a day, because most of the water is needed for irrigation.
"Come on, I want to see what you can do today!"
A man held a gun. He was from the town to the east. He was the one who took the lead in digging ditches. He was the third person in the town. There was too much water shortage in the town recently and many people had health problems, so he Decided to take the lead in digging ditches to bring some water over.
The quarrel between the two parties became more and more intense, but no one moved forward. Such quarrels have occurred countless times. Although many people cursed, they still had a certain degree of restraint. After all, if the gun went off, The situation has completely changed.
The mutants on both sides have moved forward in order to use telekinesis to control the bullets when the other party fires or to serve as shields for ordinary people.
At this time, there was a teenage boy in the crowd. He couldn't bear it anymore. He was a child from the town to the east. The town to the west had been pumping large amounts of river water for a long time. He had seen it with his own eyes. It was obvious that they were at fault in the first place, but now they are making the same mistake.
The boy held the pistol in his hand and put his finger on the trigger. His father was injured by the person opposite him. He still can't get out of bed. Not only the boy, but also many people have long ago treated the guys opposite him. Hate to the core.
At this moment, the mayors from both sides came out, and people on both sides began to stop arguing.
The mayor of the west laughed and said with a proud look on his face.
"What we discussed a few days ago was that private digging of ditches is not allowed near the small lake below. We are very short of water here. We only need to dig one ditch, not several."
The mayor to the east said angrily.
"You dug one today, and you can dig another tomorrow. Should you directly cut off the river in the future? Direct all the water to your side?"
The sound that had stopped for a moment started again. At this time, in the crowd to the east, the boy pulled the trigger.
boom
The gun rang out, and for a moment the mutated people in the west town quickly came to the mayor and controlled the bullet with telekinesis. Everyone looked shocked, and for a moment there was no sound in the scene, and everything seemed to be banned.
"you wanna die."
The mayor to the east became furious. In an instant, many people either turned around or lowered their heads, and both sides opened fire.
Gunshots continued to sound, and someone was shot and screamed. The mutants on both sides rushed directly to the front. In just a few minutes, hundreds of people on both sides were killed or injured.
Several mutants were still fighting, while some ordinary people had found some cover and started shooting with guns.
"Contact them immediately."
The mayor to the west shouted that he had to call for more troops quickly. They only had about 1,000 troops here, and there were 2,000 troops on the opposite side. Although they had more than ten mutants than the other side, they were only low. Level mutants.
At this time, a mutant's neck was twisted, and the mayor of the east watched with fear. A burst of explosions swept by, and the mayor of the east shouted angrily.
"Bring out all the heavy firepower weapons and kill these bastards."
The situation was completely out of control. Both sides were attacking with all their strength, but they had not yet crossed the river. The houses near the river had been pierced and some were directly collapsed by the explosives.
There were shouts everywhere, and people fell every minute. At this time, the mutants in the west broke through the defense of the mutants in the east and rushed directly to the town in the east. In an instant, screams were heard everywhere.
Some people with weapons were easily killed by the mutants. When the people in the town in the west saw that the firepower of the opposite side was suppressed, the mayor immediately asked people to rush over.
In less than a few minutes, more than 300 people in the west successfully rushed to the town in the east and began to advance using the houses as cover.
The army in the east town retreated directly. The mayor was still on the phone at this time. Several forces in the east said that they would hold on for half an hour and they would send troops after half an hour.
The war would break out sooner or later, and many people knew it well. However, the mayor of the west town certainly knew what the other side wanted to do. He issued a death order and pushed forward directly to end the battle before people from other towns intervened.
The mutants who were scattered in the east returned to the middle of the east town with their speed advantage. The mayor was still making arrangements, and these mutants were also injured at this time. Low-level mutants would die if they were not careful when facing the explosion.
There was a rumble, flames rose into the sky, and houses collapsed. The mayor of the east town held the phone anxiously.
"Come quickly, we can't hold on."
As soon as the voice fell, a shell landed in the mayor's courtyard. In an instant, the mayor of the east town saw several of his family members blown to pieces, and he roared.
"Fight back with all your strength and distribute weapons to everyone."
The street fighting in the town had no rules. Everyone shot at anyone they saw. The situation became extremely chaotic. The mayor of the town on the west side was extremely anxious. The battle that was supposed to end within 20 minutes had dragged on for half an hour.
At this moment, some convoys appeared not far away, and the mayor of the town on the west side immediately shouted.
"Order everyone to retreat first, and then contact Mr. Li and his team."
But it was too late to retreat now. Many people were so angry that they had already penetrated into the town on the east side and directly hit the center of the town.
The situation began to turn around, but in an instant, hundreds of mutants from other towns instantly turned the situation around, and some people in the western town who were still fleeing were easily killed.
Less than 5 minutes after the reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, the town on the east side had begun a full-scale counterattack. This time it was the turn of the people in the town on the west side to panic.
A large number of mutants crossed the creek directly, and screams suddenly sounded. Some people were easily slaughtered by these mutants. Soon, the large army in the east town rushed to the west town.
After the mayor of the east town explained the situation, the more than 2,000 reinforcements that came immediately understood that they had to resolve the battle before some forces behind the other side came to reinforce.
However, the mayor of the west town was not a fool. He had arranged it a long time ago. Many people retreated to the corresponding positions to use heavy firepower to resist those mutants. The effect was very good. In the fierce heavy firepower, some mutants who came were directly killed.
Time passed by minute by minute. The battle had lasted for an hour. Neither side gave in. The battle lines on both sides began to pull to the river again with the arrival of some reinforcements from the west.
At this time, the gunshots had decreased a lot. Although the explosions were still continuing, both sides were ready to hold the fire and make preparations in all aspects.
The gunshots that sounded from time to time continued until after 5 pm before they stopped completely. Both towns suffered very serious damage.
The two sides are still gathering, and many forces behind them have sent out all their troops. They all want to overwhelm each other and become the master of the north.
Some forces related to other local big families are still fanning the flames and talking to the big families behind them. The big families have promised to support some weapons and ammunition.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the two towns had a complete ceasefire, but no one wanted to talk. Everyone was building their own fortifications.
The news quickly spread to the grassland.
8:16
Alan, who was having dinner with his wife, just received the news and stood up immediately.
"How could this happen."
Alan pressed his forehead. This is the fifth year since the gods brought new technology. Everything has been going on step by step, but at this critical juncture, a war broke out.
"Father, it's just two small forces fighting each other, what's the big deal? If they want to fight, let them fight, we can benefit from it..."
"Shut up."
Alan roared, and the son who was talking shut up, and the others were also the ones who had never seen Alan show such an angry expression.
"The war is about to start, and everyone will be involved, no one will be spared."
Alan knew very well that once such a local war started, all forces would be dragged into it. He immediately took out his phone and planned to warn some people from the big families to be as restrained as possible and not to get involved in such a war.
But it was too late soon. After Allen made a few phone calls, he knew it was too late. Even their Hillman family would be dragged into the water. Seeing the commander reporting the reinforcement request of several small towns with whom they had an alliance, Allen gritted his teeth and finally nodded.
"Send the most elite troops to end the war directly. I want you to end the battle within tomorrow."
Alan probably knew what the other major families were thinking now. They should wait and see for a while before taking action, but Allen knew that since the opportunity had already appeared, he had to be forced to take action. Allen planned to take control of the north first.
In this way, the Hillman family's forces can occupy the northeast and north, encircle other places, and then focus on some towns in the mountains to directly cut off the connection between the major families.
To achieve this step, it must be quick, and Allen soon said again.
"Solve the battle before tomorrow morning and send more people."
The commander's expression was solemn. It would take at least 3 hours for them to go to the town where the war took place, and it would take some time to prepare.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Mobilize all the people who can be mobilized immediately, and take the 49 towns in the north as soon as possible."
10:23 p.m.
The Huosen family in the west has begun to act. They know very well what Allen and his family are going to do. The patriarch of the Huosen family has contacted the Eberon family, and both sides have begun to send troops.
Because the Hillman family will definitely take the initiative, it is absolutely impossible for both sides to watch the Hillman family directly seize control of the north through this war.
The two major families mobilized directly, but it would be too late to go there now.
However, the two major families have already told some families in advance that their troops can pass through some towns smoothly.
11 p.m.
Rudy listened to the report quietly, he sighed helplessly, and then directly ordered to start full alert control. Rudy did not intend to directly intervene, because he knew what other families were thinking now. If he rashly intervened, a full-scale war would most likely occur on the grassland.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Rudy received a call from Allen.
"Mr. Angus, what are you going to do?"
Rudy said with a smile.
"We won't get involved for now. Don't worry."
