Every Desolate Man was an excellent survival master, but they didn't know how to fight.
There were at least seven to eight hundred people following Wang Laohu. As more people arrived, the number of Desolate Men could exceed a thousand.
These Desolate Men all had guns with a few bullets in them. Their marksmanship was not bad, and there were many sharpshooters with outstanding marksmanship. However, these Desolate Men could be qualified hunters, qualified farmers, or excellent miners, but they didn't have the basic qualities of a soldier.
Wang Laohu wanted to stop the City Guard and buy some time for his brothers to escape. The Desolate Men who came with him relied on their courage. They knew that they were no match for the City Guard, but they wanted to teach the people in the city a lesson.
But Wang Laohu didn't know what would happen if he led a large group of people to stop an infantry regiment with heavy firepower.
Military illiterates weren't scary, but they fought in a war.
If Wang Laohu spread everyone out, there would be no distribution of heavy and light firepower, no echelon configuration, and no battle formation. It would just be a chaotic group of people charging forward.
It would be much better to scatter these Desolate Dwellers and throw them into the Wasteland to fight guerrilla warfare against the City Defense Army than to rush down the highway in a chaotic manner.
Wang Laohu didn't know this, and neither did the Desolate Men. Because in all these years, there had never been a chance for so many people to gather in the Wilderness.
There was one thing that had to be clarified, a very, very important thing.
It wasn't that the Desolate Men hadn't fired at the people in the city before, but this was the first time that there were thousands of people fighting.
This was the first time that the Desolate Men had organized a rebellion against the City Guard. Except for Wang Laohu and a few others, these Desolate Men didn't even know why they were fighting against the City Guard.
Anyway, when they said they were going to fight with the people in the city, these Desolate Men came.
Maybe this was the true portrayal of the saying, "The world has suffered for a long time."
Or maybe, this was the beginning of an uprising.
Although these desolate people were uncultured and didn't understand the allusion of nobility, some things were engraved in their bones.
If someone recorded history, perhaps in the future, the resistance of the salt mine workers would be written as an unprovoked riot. It was also possible that their actions would be written as the first shot against oppression. After all, history was written by the victors.
It was very fast to learn how to fight in battle. Half of these Desolate Dwellers had died, and the rest of them would probably know how to fight. They would know how to dodge machine gun fire, how to cover each other, how to take turns to advance, and how to fight guerrilla warfare instead of rushing to their deaths.
But none of that would happen.
Wang Laohu was no longer the number one person, and the first large-scale rebellion of the Desolate Dwellers was no longer possible.
Because Gao Qi was here.
The helicopter was descending. Gao Qi saw a man get up from hiding in the weeds and run towards the armored vehicle from the side. But before he could get close, he was shot into a sieve by the machine gun on the armored vehicle. Then, the man who suddenly jumped up exploded. It was a very strong explosion.
No one tried to escape. A group of seven or eight people fired at the armored vehicle, and then were shot to pieces by the armored vehicle.
Looking into the distance, a large group of people rushed along the road.
Han Ruofeng's face was livid. He said to Gao Qi in a very rude tone, "Why did you arrange for Wang Laohu's people to fight? Even if Young Master Chen's people are all dead, the city won't let Wang Laohu go. These Desolate Dwellers have to die."
Han Ruofeng's face had become cold. He looked at the crowd on the ground and said coldly, "You're asking for death!"
The authority of the City Guard was not to be challenged. Even if Han Ruofeng was a psychic and did not get along well with the City Guard, he would still stand on the side of the City Guard when faced with the provocation of the Desolate Dwellers. Because he was sitting in the city.
John said with interest, "Wow, did you arrange it, or are the Desolate Dwellers going to rebel?"
Gao Qi said without hesitation, "I'm sorry, Boss Han. I just wanted to make the show look more real. I didn't expect Wang Laohu to really do it."
Han Ruofeng frowned and said, "You said it wasn't arranged by you."
"But I also told Wang Laohu not to let the cat out of the bag. Boss Han, it's rare to have such an obedient underling like Wang Laohu. You have to help, okay?"
Gao Qi took the responsibility without hesitation. If he wanted to protect Wang Laohu, he had to take the responsibility himself.
If it was in the past, Gao Qi really wouldn't have had the right to say this. But now, he had the right to protect someone.
Han Ruofeng thought for a moment, then sighed softly and said to Gao Qi, "Don't do this next time. You can use the Desolate Dwellers, but you have to be careful. It's fine if you let Wang Laohu impersonate the Fraternity to send fake news, but if you let Wang Laohu start a war with the City Guard, that's a serious problem. Even if our plan succeeds, the city will have to send troops to eliminate Wang Laohu. That's the bottom line.
No matter how intense the fighting in the city was, it was still an internal conflict. But if they started a war with the Desolate Dwellers, it was a conflict between the enemy and themselves. Gao Qi naturally understood this. Since he understood this, he had to take the blame for Wang Laohu.
Fortunately, Gao Qi could handle it now.
"Land in front. Put me down. I'll take care of it."
As long as the Desolate Dwellers led by Wang Laohu didn't fight the City Guard head-on, this scene would still be just a scene.
John smiled and said loudly, "Owen, land in front and get ready to record."
The helicopter quickly landed on the ground, and Gao Qi got out of the helicopter.
There were still at least four or five kilometers between the Desolate Dwellers and the City Guard. Gao Qi was between the Desolate Dwellers and the City Guard. Naturally, he landed here to avoid the City Guard's direct fire.
After putting down Gao Qi and the others, the helicopter took off again and returned to an altitude of two thousand meters at the fastest speed.
Someone was carrying a camera, and the lens was aimed directly at Gao Qi's face. Gao Qi wasn't used to it. He waved his hand and said, "Don't film it. Don't film it from the front. Keep it a little mysterious."
John smiled and said, "That won't do. This isn't a movie, it's evidence. At most, I'll mosaic it when I show it to someone in the future."
Han Ruofeng hurriedly took a few steps back and stood behind the camera to ensure that he wouldn't be filmed.
Gao Qi shrugged and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give it to me."
Owen immediately pulled the backpack and opened the zipper. Gao Qi reached in and grabbed a bunch of energy cores without hesitation.
John's expression became serious. He said in a deep voice, "Are you ready? Turn it on! Hello everyone, there's a new type of ability user who can directly use the energy of the energy cores. This is a new form of power. I think … "
Gao Qi looked at John and said, "What are you doing?"
"Explain it. A documentary needs an explanation. I'm going to use my identity and my little fame to increase the credibility of your performance."
