Chapter 7: Zhang Heng’s Decision (Part 1)

Zhang Heng felt that he was really not suitable to be a leader. He thought so from the bottom of his heart...

Since the establishment of the Human City, a large number of materials, guns, and various machinery have been dug out from the underground ruins. In addition, Zhang Heng has repeatedly attacked and destroyed the alien races near the Human City. Gradually, this human city has become increasingly large, and the number of people has gradually accumulated to 50,000 or 60,000.

Most of these 50,000 or 60,000 people are strong and strong young or girls. The weak ones died in the catastrophe over the past year, but there are also hundreds of them who are high-level intellectuals who are well protected by their tribe members. In fact, what really makes Zhang Heng feel troublesome and makes him feel that he is not suitable to be a leader is these hundreds of people, not those tens of thousands of young girls.

These hundreds of high-level intellectuals were not sure what kind of stimulation they were. When they were rescued and recovered their respective injuries, they actually burst out with enthusiasm that made Zhang Heng feel frightened. They used existing machine tools, molds, excavated scrap steel, and very little gunpowder to create a large number of imitated gun weapons.

This is not all. Some senior intellectuals kept making suggestions to the parliament, demanding to go to the provincial capital that is still a long distance from the Human City to find more machinery, instruments, and various materials in the provincial capital. Some of them claimed that they could make bacterial weapons and poisonous gas weapons. Fortunately, no one claimed that they could make atomic bombs, otherwise Zhang Heng really didn't know what his expression would turn out.

These senior intellectuals, contrary to the previous indecisive and pitiful image of society, seemed to have become more iron-blooded protagonists in movie novels. Zhang Heng was pulled by members of the parliament to inspect the situation in research institutions, factories and other places several times, and he accidentally heard some discussions from senior intellectuals...

"...I solved the molecular equation you asked for last night. Isn't your group urgently needed it?"

"It really solved it? Haha, thank you so much. It's true that you are a famous chemist. Now, with this molecular equation, the biggest difficulty of mustard gas can be solved. Now only materials are needed..."

"In this way, another group should be able to think of ways to deal with the materials. They are from medical institutions. It is said that the Council will give priority to them in chemical materials and various medicines. I know a few of them. How about it? If I hadn't introduced you to you?"

"Is that so? Haha, that's really great..."

Zhang Heng felt that his expression must have been in the shape of a sympathetic character. Two men wearing black-framed glasses looked very gentle and with some pale and thin faces, they were discussing softly how to make mustard gas. And listening to their words, it seemed that these intellectuals had set up some groups, all of whom were similar talents in their respective professional fields, and they all thoughtfully planned to create weapons of mass destruction...

In fact, these high-level intellectuals are just the most extreme. They either have relatives died at the hands of aliens, or they are almost killed and eaten by aliens. This deep hatred is simply indelible. Moreover, these high-level intellectuals are the ones who are most likely to go to extremes. In this way, they really go to another extreme of their thoughts.

In contrast, although the tens of thousands of young people are slightly better, nearly 10,000 people need long-term treatment and recuperation. Secondly, the work of the villages in the digging of nearby towns and villages is very important, so these young people who have become the main body of the human city have no energy to counterattack the alien race, but the extreme ideas have gradually emerged.

Because of Zhang Heng's existence, Duan Rui, who is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no large tribe of powerful race near this Human City, the foreign military operations of Human City have won victory again and again, and there have been many times when Zhang Heng and Duan Rui were not involved at all, and they were also flattened by a large number of guns. Therefore, the victory results have gradually made the people of the entire Human City gradually have a strange arrogance and arrogance.

Look! Those alien races are just so rampant when we humans lose civilization. But once we humans return to civilization, have weapons, cities, and have a large rear, those alien races like barbarians will be our human opponents? They can completely exterminate them, so... launch a full-scale attack! Clear out all alien races on the earth!

This is the current situation of Humanity City...

Zhang Heng looked at the few members in front of him with distress. These members were all the most radical members. The latest trends of Humanity City are to be precisely a proposal proposed by the most radical, which is to hope that Humanity City will be led by Zhang Heng and Duan Rui will follow, and then the soldiers of Qingcheng City will attack the big city closest to Humanity City. In addition to destroying all the alien tribes along the way, they will also wipe out an alien gathering place where the city has been established.

Compared to these congressmen and the people below, Zhang Heng naturally knew more. At least he knew that he was not a true demon-level powerhouse.

Although he has gradually become stronger steadily over this period of time, for some reason, he is still a little bit away from the True Demon level, either a realm, an enlightenment, or an opportunity. In short, he is still a little bit away from the slightest line. As long as he crosses this thin line, he can immediately become a True Demon!

But because he was stuck in the demonic rank, he didn't dare to go to many places around him. According to the Elf Princess, let's not talk about the small tribes of the alien race. Large tribes, even those cities, generally one or more holy spirits or high-level holy spirits are guarding. What if he encounters a true demon-level powerhouse during this attack? It doesn't matter if he dies, but without his presence, the tens of thousands of people here will be like a piece of fat, and sooner or later they will be swallowed up by the alien races around him.

"I have said it many times. Everyone, I know that the materials are in short supply and more alien slaves are needed to excavate labor, even for the safety of the Human City, etc. I know the reasons, but everyone, our strength is insufficient! This is the most critical!" Zhang Heng looked at the congressmen in front of him. They were basically spokespersons of those senior intellectuals. They were also one of those senior intellectuals. They could not beat them or scold them. These people worked hard and did not have any corruption at all. The only requirement was to attack them all. They could only say helplessly.

One of the congressmen immediately said: "It is precisely because the strength of the Human City is insufficient now that we have to attack that big city. City Lord. According to our careful study, there must be large heavy weapons in the military region of the big city. As long as it can open up there, we can immediately organize an army of about 5,000 hot weapons. What a great force! At that time, we can become stronger and stronger, and then gather all the humans in the mountains and jungle areas around the city. Our strength will only grow bigger and bigger like a snowball!"

The other members of the parliament were also nagging, and when Zhang Heng was only planning to reject their proposal again, he suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart and a strange idea was born. However, he thought that his strength had stagnated. In fact, he had long wanted to fight those big cities. So many tribesmen were still suffering. More than ten more humans could die in one second every night. However, he did not have the power to compete with the true demon-level powerhouse, so he kept stagnating. To reach the true demon-level strength... Just stopping and slowly accumulating strength is not a solution? Maybe he really needs to be strong in the battle.

"... Then, even if you launch an attack, you cannot put all your strength into it." Zhang Heng immediately changed his words.

Before the MP came to his senses, he was still saying, "...It is precisely because of insufficient strength that we need to launch an attack, so... Uh? City Lord, have you agreed to launch an attack on that provincial capital?"

Zhang Heng nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, let's discuss the situation of launching an attack first. You can't put all your strength into it all at once, right? What should I do about the defense of Human City? Do those alien slaves do not need to be guarded? This is our foundation, so it is impossible to throw it away before you attack the provincial capital, right?"

The congressmen were immediately overjoyed and immediately started talking, but their methods sounded a bit incredible, such as arming the alien races and letting them be cannon fodder, so Zhang Heng directly interrupted them and said, "How to advance and how to arrange them, all these are left to professionals. Your current task is to prepare logistics, and plan the work arrangements for the Human City after the army leaves. That's it..."

In this way, Zhang Heng drove away the congressmen. It was not until this time that he finally felt that he had completely quieted down around him. However, when he thought of the agreed offensive plan, he suddenly had a headache, such as soldiers, logistics, weapons, defense, and marching route...

Oh my God! Zhang Heng feels that he is really not suitable to be a leader. He really thinks so...

In any case, with a large group of war dealers and angry young people... they should be angry. Under the promotion of the angry old men, the plan to attack the provincial capital was soon approved by the parliament. At the same time, there were more than 3,000 people in the human city, and more than 120 troops of various types were quickly formed. It was not used for five days. When Zhang Heng came to his senses, he was already sitting in the seat of a command vehicle with Duan Rui. There were several former school-level officers of the People's Liberation Army who were with him. He had already followed the team to head towards the provincial capital.

"...I said, your speed is really fast. I originally thought it would take at least half a month, but I didn't expect that in just five days, a war was prepared, and there was an army of more than 3,000 people, and even vehicles and fuel were no longer stingy. You really want to fight this battle." Zhang Heng looked at the vehicles walking side by side outside the car window, and he said to several officers beside him.

These officers are all the school-level officers who survived various armies, and are also the bigwigs of the current human city military system. In fact, Zhang Heng suspected that the fierce actions of those senior intellectuals were probably colluding with these officers in the military system. Otherwise, it would be impossible that after he agreed to send troops, the entire army would be quickly formed with such efficient and rapid progress, and anyone could see the conspiracy.

Hearing Zhang Heng's words, the officers all laughed. One of the middle-aged men laughed and said, "City Lord, we don't hide it from you. This military action plan has been implemented a month ago. The collection of oil, vehicles, and weapons have all started from that time. In fact... this battle is something that everyone in the Human City wants to fight."

Zhang Heng was silent for a moment and didn't say anything. In fact, he had already agreed with the officer's statement deep in his heart. This battle was something the entire Human City had been waiting for for a long time. It was nothing but to drive away the fear in his heart.

Yes, in the human city, the people in the human city are actually more afraid deep in their hearts, fearing that the beautiful life will be lost again, fearing that they will be captured and enslaved by foreign races, fearing the destruction of human beings in the future. In short, in such a world, human beings no longer have a sense of security! No one knows what kind of changes will happen in the future!

So, this battle is not only about snatching a large number of resources from the ruins of the provincial capital, or to save all the tribes of the alien tribes along the way, or to expand to a limited extent for the safety of the Human City. All these reasons are actually false. The real reason is that more than 99% of the people in the Human City do not have the so-called sense of security. They hope to take advantage of a war, preferably a battle of thousands or tens of thousands of alien army that is enough to compete with the Human City army, and completely annihilate and defeat them, so as to determine their sense of security... Human firearms and thermal weapons are enough to match the alien's sense of security!

"Is it a sense of security?" Zhang Heng still looked out the window. After more than ten seconds, Zhang Heng took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, and handed them to each person in the car, and then asked.

After receiving the cigarette, the officers were not polite, so they lit it and sucked it. After Zhang Heng spoke, the lieutenant colonel officer immediately nodded and said, "Yes, a sense of security! City Lord, you are the Holy Spirit and the Soul Lord, you must also know that those alien races have more than one soul person. It can even be said that the safety of the Human City is only based on you, the City Lord, and even Deputy City Lord Duan Rui... He cannot match an alien soul person."

Duan Rui sat next to him with a cigarette in his mouth. After hearing this, his face turned red as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He could only sigh, but Zhang Heng nodded silently and said, "You keep going."

The officer took a cigarette and continued to say: "Although you have always mentioned your partners, and they are so powerful that they can't imagine it, so far, we have searched nearby mountains, jungles, plains, and ruins. Except for the large-scale provincial capital that has not been searched, we have searched all the places we can find, but no one has discovered them... Let me say that's not very nice. Once you have any accidents in the city lord, the entire human city collapses in an instant. This is one of them, and the second is that those alien races have not mobilized a large number of troops to attack the human city for no reason. However, once they send troops, even if there are only one or two true demon-level souls, the ending of the human city will be..."

Zhang Heng sighed, and then he said, "I know what you mean. Maybe this view is not just that you think so, right? I guess the people who think so in the human city must have gone there. No wonder more and more people have asked for war recently. It turns out that this insecurity has reached the critical point."

The other officers nodded with wry smiles. The officer just now continued: "It is precisely because of this that this is the need to carry out this provincial capital battle. In addition to a large amount of resources and a large number of weapons, we also urgently need something..."

"Things? What is as important as weapons? No, it is more important?" Zhang Heng asked curiously immediately after hearing this.

"Communication equipment!" The officer looked around and said in a low voice.

"Communication equipment?" Zhang Heng and Duan Rui looked at each other strangely, and he immediately asked, "What does it mean? Could it be that they have any contact with the outside world?"

An officer next to him suddenly interrupted: "It's not a contact. To be precise, the communication equipment used in Human City is currently temporarily assembled, and the ability to accept signals from various bands of the outside world is very weak. Moreover, the release of communications to the outside world is also restricted by the mountainous areas here. However, we received some vague signals half a month ago, which could not be confirmed at all, and we could not even respond. There was only one suggestion from the expert group..."

"Find more accurate communication equipment as soon as possible, preferably military models. In this southwest region, the only place where such communication equipment is possible is only found in large provincial capitals and large cities."

Zhang Heng was immediately excited when he heard this. In fact, his personal pressure was too great during this period. On the one hand, he had to protect the lives of tens of thousands of people in front of him, and on the other hand, he had to keep preparing to fight against the true demon-level powerful people. Moreover, it doesn't matter if he dies alone. There will be tens of thousands of people who die with him. It would be a damn thing to say that he can be calm. So when he hears the signal from the outside world, he immediately thinks of Pei Jiao and the others in his heart. Only those friends can lead humans to break through the encirclement of foreign races and return to civilization. If this is true... Then this provincial capital battle is really essential.

"...Is it a signal? I've done it! Mom, I'll try my best to capture this provincial capital this time!"

Zhang Heng muttered this and when he said this, a light flashed in his eyes. When the light disappeared, a simple leather-covered drum appeared in his hands.

This is his greatest reliance against the true demon-level powerful man, and his current greatest combat power...
