Three minutes later, the battle began.

The Dawn soldiers demonstrated extremely high military skills.

A dozen or so Dawn employees climbed the building with their bare hands, ascending along the uneven walls.

Just as the climbing team entered the window from the top floor, the fire support team led by Dawn Tyrannosaurus rushed in from the front.

Dawn Tyrannosaurus fired three shots in quick succession. In the thermal imaging view, three enemy guards fell to the ground. His two Dawn teammates behind him provided cover on the flanks, and the three of them were like tigers entering a pack of wolves.

Roars and screams echoed from the abandoned building.

Just when Jiang He thought the matter was settled, a burst of gunfire erupted inside the building, as if a metal storm had descended, and billowing smoke and dust poured out of the windows.

The Dawn Tyrannosaurus reported:

"Boss, there's a military-grade mech in this small settlement. We're being suppressed from the front."

Da da da!

Jiang He moved to a different position and, using his eagle eye, saw the mecha's appearance through the window. The thing was three meters tall, with four sixteen-barrel rotary machine guns mounted on its chest. The heavy ammunition boxes on its back emitted plumes of white smoke, and on its left was a heavy howitzer. A streak of light blasted out and blasted through the reinforced wall, causing the Dawn soldiers to flee in panic.

This firepower far surpasses that of the previous three jeeps, and is generally equivalent to that of an offensive high-level superhuman.

"Find a way to make him move ten steps to the left."

"Boss, thank you for leading us away from that damned town. I'm content with my life."

Jiang He was speechless. Since the script was set from the database, these Dawners were actually natives of the town. He had killed them ten times, but a mech was clearly not worth a Dawner paying with his life.

"Wait here for a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang He aimed and fired two shots in quick succession.

With all three shooting skills activated, the first bullet pierced through two walls and struck the alloy bulletproof layer above the mech's abdomen, creating a noticeable dent with its immense kinetic energy. The second bullet followed closely behind, killing the mech pilot inside.

The building fell silent again, followed by cheers from the people of Dawn.

The battle was completely over in just fifteen minutes.

Besides the guards who died in battle, nearly 600 people were escorted out, mostly elderly, young women, and fewer young and strong men.

Jiang He ordered fifty men to remain to guard the area, then took away all the able-bodied men and selected guides to continue the attack on the next small settlement.

The mixed-age population with the Dawn Army personnel resulted in almost none of the anticipated frictions occurring.

The jeep led the way, and Dawn Tyrannosaurus explained, "Boss, I've done some research. In small settlements, only the so-called first-class people can join the guard team and get guns. These surviving young men aren't that important on a daily basis."

“I promised them that they could freely choose women to form families, as long as they could afford it, with no limit on the number. In this era, if we let these guys become superior people, we can easily subdue them.”

"Of course, the premise is that we must be strong, and there must be people among those old, young and women who hate us. I will find them one by one later."

"You handle it as you see fit," Jiang He said casually. He couldn't handle every aspect of things, so delegating authority was necessary. As long as the Dawn people were loyal and Dawn Intelligence could control their lives at any time, that would be enough.

Judging from the current situation, the people of Dawn, who live in the western part of the town, are very well adapted to the current era. The biggest law in the town is to bring someone to justice, which is exactly what it sounds like: to hang someone alive with a rope.

……

At midnight, the team captured another small settlement, taking 700 people. Thirty Dawn members were left behind to escort them. Unbeknownst to them, the proportion of able-bodied men from the settlement in the attacking team was rapidly increasing.

By noon the next day, all six small settlements in the vicinity had fallen. However, in another month or two, as long as the buildings in the settlements did not collapse, a steady stream of homeless people would come to huddle together for warmth, forming new small settlements.

With a total of over 3,700 people, and at Jiang He's secret instruction, Dawn Tyrannosaurus announced that only 100 people were needed for the armed team, and all able-bodied men were eligible to participate.

During this period, many Dawn members deliberately lost to the young and strong in the settlement and hid behind the scenes. Otherwise, this elite force would easily arouse the vigilance of the park, and this was already the second round of dispersal.

A hundred-strong escort team was transporting the wandering group to the park when they were attacked by the "Wasteland Bandits." The first settlement to fall suffered heavy casualties, and subsequently, residents of various smaller settlements repeatedly disrupted the peace under different pretexts.

After a three-day journey, the team arrived at the entrance to the park, where they were blocked by layers of checkpoints. The chief inspector himself appeared; he was the second-in-command in the park.

In the wilderness, population is wealth, and the most important indicator for measuring the level of a settlement is always its population. However, when faced with more than three thousand vagrants, the Inspector General showed no joy whatsoever; instead, he appeared serious.

Chapter 197 Chief Inspector

The park, officially named the Emerging Industrial Park Outside the Wall, primarily focuses on exploring information technology from the old era. It possesses advanced development orders issued by the Ninth Fortress Council, granting it the freedom to recruit soldiers, declare war, and establish political systems, thus enjoying extensive powers.

Correspondingly, similar large settlements are obligated to cooperate with fortresses, be ready to launch expeditions against dark creatures, and conduct regional defenses.

In short, the park owner is a local tyrant.

But the local tyrant was not a real emperor, and Mr. A, this mountain, always weighed on the heads of the three bosses.

The chief inspector, who is the second-in-command of the park, used to be Mr. A's personal bodyguard, a fact well known to the park's management.

The chief inspector will oppose anything the boss decides personally.

The chief inspector treats all of the boss's cronies with cold indifference.

Whether due to the current situation or for self-preservation, the two sides have long been irreconcilable enemies and have formed a deadly feud.

At this moment, the third company commander brought back more than 3,000 homeless people, which was a great achievement.

But the chief inspector was not happy at all, because the third company commander was the boss's confidant.

Five hundred old rifles from the battalion were pointed at the outside of the park's fence, as if a single order from the chief inspector would immediately result in a field of corpses. However, everyone present knew that such a thing would not happen, because once they entered the park, these people would become Mr. A's assets.

"All able-bodied men, step forward!" the Inspector General ordered.

The sound of bolts being pulled back rang out in unison. The park's guards undergo regular off-duty training, and their overall quality is much better than that of the miscellaneous guard teams.

Jiang He sat calmly in the jeep waiting. His current persona is "Ai Yun with amnesia". Unless he shoots the chief inspector on the spot, he will basically not face the gun. In essence, he is the real tyrant who has infiltrated the Ai family from the fortress. He will need blood to maintain his ability to transform in the future.

"Superintendent, what does this mean?" Dawn Tyrannosaurus was displeased, reaching for the pistol at his waist, and said coldly, "I want to see the boss."

"Hehe, the boss is away recently. As for where he went, if you don't know, then I know even less."

The chief inspector said coldly, "If we let more than three thousand people into the park at once, what if there are thieves hiding inside? Who will be responsible if something goes wrong? I am the chief inspector, and I have a responsibility to protect the safety of the park. Only one hundred able-bodied men can go in."

"All able-bodied men, step forward and do push-ups on the spot. The top 100 will each receive ten cans of food and be granted park resident status!"

After the chief inspector finished speaking, he drew his gun and fired. In the blink of an eye, six people among the homeless were injured or killed, including men, women, and children.

The entrance was under firepower from an entire regular battalion; four heavy machine guns could wipe out the wanderers in ten seconds, and there were also two artillery pieces behind them.

The Dawn Tyrannosaurus had no choice but to order the able-bodied men to step forward.

Jiang He sat in the car and sent a message to all Dawn employees through Dawn Intelligence.

"The overall ranking remains outside the top 100."

"Boss, we can't get into the park..."

Jiang He immediately shut down the Dawn Tyrannosaurus's communications. He didn't need to explain; his subordinates could offer suggestions, but the decision rested with him.

More than 800 young men stepped forward and did push-ups on the spot. Many had burning eyes. The park had always been notorious, but after obtaining resident status, they were entitled to basic human rights and could live in the town behind the park. Because the park was surrounded by mountains on three sides, it presented a "冂" shape.

The shape of the character "字" (zi) provides sufficient security to make it a paradise in the wilderness.

The figures of the young and strong rose and fell. A considerable number of the homeless had only done a dozen or so before they were exhausted. Without enough food and clean water, and after working day and night, their bodies were somewhat unable to bear the burden.

Ten minutes passed, and the people from Dawn were gradually eliminated.

A filthy boy gritted his teeth and looked up at the Dawn Tyrannosaurus with hatred. This bastard had killed his father and uncle and destroyed his life.

The eliminated were escorted back to the wanderers. When there were only one hundred people left, the chief inspector snatched a rifle from the guard. It was a rifle with a design similar to the old-fashioned AK rifle, which was inexpensive to manufacture and had a low failure rate.

Most importantly, the production line was easy to build. Because there were a terrifying number of these guns in the old era, many of them were left over and became the template for the development of guns in the Cataclysmic Era.

Without a word, the chief inspector pulled the trigger.

The guards of the first battalion also vented their violence.

Da da da!

A storm of metal swept in, bullets pierced flesh and blood, and a hundred healthy young men were brutally killed, while the bodies of teenagers were riddled with holes.

Half a minute later, the ground was littered with mutilated corpses.

"You devils! What has my husband done wrong?!"

Wailing cries erupted from the homeless, with a woman wailing and screaming.

The chief inspector lit a cigarette, just to be on the safe side. It would be difficult for the dozen or so men of the Third Company to suppress this group, which had managed to get this far. Shooting the one hundred strongest young men would greatly reduce the intensity of their resistance and also prevent him from finding another excuse to intimidate them.

"Send them all to the town's reception center."

The Inspector General waved his hand, then walked up to the Dawn Tyrannosaurus and said with a smile:

"From now on, you, the third company commander, will be the battalion commander of the recruit camp. The soldiers will be selected from these people. Building No. 3 will continue to be under your command, and I have cleared out the armory for you."

Inside the car, Jiang He pondered to himself. This was a demotion in disguise. The most outstanding hundred or so young men were purged by the chief inspector under the pretext of park security. The strongest firepower in the entire Building No. 3, six military mechs, were also taken away, and it was all justified because they were the allocation for the Third Battalion and had nothing to do with the recruit camp.

"You don't have the final say on setting up the new recruit camp." Dawn Tyrannosaurus sensed something was wrong.

The chief inspector pulled out a telegram and slapped it on the man's chest, laughing smugly, "I think even if the boss comes back, he'll definitely give his full approval to Mr. A's winter troop expansion order."

“I am from the Third Battalion. Without the approval of the commanding officer, your transfer is against the rules. The recruit camp can be handed over to someone else.”

"Come chat with us in Building 1 when you have time."

The chief inspector waved and left.

The officers on the scene looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that the situation in the park was about to change. The boss had not returned, and the chief inspector had seized power in Building No. 3. He was originally the actual leader of the first battalion, and now he controlled most of the troops. The most crucial thing was the reason why the third battalion commander chose to defect. This guy used to be the boss's confidant.

"Boss... I hope nothing bad has happened."

"The chief inspector wants to be promoted."

"What should we do then?"

"Whoever wins, I'll support them."

The park gates were wide open, and the homeless were being escorted to the guesthouse in the town behind.

Jiang He informed Shuguang Tyrannosaurus: "Go to the guesthouse to recall Shuguang people, gather a framework of 500 people, and stabilize Building No. 3 first."

"Understood," Dawn Tyrannosaurus replied. Building No. 3 had fallen into their control, which was the only thing that could barely be called good news at the moment. Overall, the four battalions of the first regiment in the park accounted for a quarter of their forces, giving them room to maneuver, but their firepower was far inferior to that of the Inspector General, who was supported by mechs.

Chapter 198 Park Organization

night.

Building No. 3 was brightly lit.

Opposite the interrogation room on the fifth floor, Jiang He chose a room to serve as her living quarters; the environment was relatively simple.

The window opposite the door offers a view of the park directly ahead. Below the window are a desk and a recliner. To the right are a sofa and a bookshelf filled with colorful magazines, with very few proper books in sight. To the left is a single bed. The wooden floor is made of the same material as the surrounding forest. Next to the main entrance, several computers are stacked together, with the monitors of the entire Building 3 displayed on the screens.

Dawn Tyrannosaurus stood outside and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Jiang He tidied up the color magazines, preparing to stuff them all into the fireplace to start a fire.

"Boss, the five hundred recruits from the new recruit camp have been selected. All of the Dawn soldiers are officers of various ranks, so they won't cause any trouble. They're all living in the barracks on the fourth floor now. But the armory has been emptied by that bastard chief inspector. Forget about military mechs, he didn't even leave us half a bullet."

Dawn Tyrannosaurus was somewhat indignant. They didn't care about battalion-level organization at all. Every Dawn soldier with the triple template was an elite soldier picked from thousands. Originally, controlling the Third Company would have given them a chance to get their hands on those mechs, but now that the Third Battalion Commander had changed sides, it seriously affected their original plan.

Jiang He burned the magazine and said, "I will find a way to handle this. The military mech we seized is in Rock Town. We can repair it and it might still be usable. Arrest the guards in Building 3. Don't let those employees on the second floor escape. Tyrannosaurus is dead. Before the new supervisor arrives, send someone to keep an eye on the inspector in our building."

“Understood. I’ve arranged four guards at your door, all of them Dawnmen.” Dawn Tyrannosaurus said. He knew that his boss didn’t need protection, but he couldn’t force his boss to take action against every Tom, Dick, and Harry.

Jiang He didn't say anything about this, but instead said, "Bring up all the supervisor's information."

"Yes." Dawn Tyrannosaurus turned and left.

Watching the other person leave, Jiang He pulled out the little white snake from his collar, and under Zhuang Ya's stunned gaze, took out a mental arithmetic workbook and a third-grade textbook. He had brought these things with him specifically.

"You've slept for a day or two, now it's time to learn."

"Big snake, snakes need to hibernate."

"Go squat by the fireplace, I'll start the fire for you."

The little girl lowered her head and went to the fireplace, next to which were the sofa and bookshelves. In fact, the white blouse she was wearing was made of snakeskin, so she didn't feel cold even without a fire.

Not long after, Dawn Tyrannosaurus delivered the data.

Jiang He looked through them one by one.

In the wasteland, things like usurpation and insubordination often happen. In this environment without stable order, the military is the source and symbol of power.

Mr. A's three large settlements all adhere to an elite force strategy, with an average annual military expenditure of around 100,000 Fortress Coins per soldier, which includes allowances, supplies, and pensions. Taking the park as an example, the annual military expenditure alone is as high as 150 million.

When the cannons roar, gold pours in. The average wage for a fortress citizen is 3500 fortress coins, an exceptionally high sum even within the fortress.
