The City of Sin was in control of the entire Central Valley. Now that they had completely taken over the place, they had to establish a set of rules and order to turn the wasteland into the City of Sin's territory.
Rules didn't matter if they were good or bad. As long as a powerful force established a new set of rules, order could be restored to the area. Only with order could there be efficient production.
So why didn't Morning Dawn City need to turn the wastelanders into slaves? Because Morning Dawn City had sufficient electricity and could build a complete soilless farming factory in the city. The City of Sin didn't have that, so they couldn't achieve self-sufficiency. Naturally, they needed to expand. But the goal of expansion wasn't land, but more slaves.
In fact, the City of Sin's method was a good way to quickly establish order in the wasteland. The wastelanders didn't have to kill each other for survival resources. They only had to be slaves.
Whether the wastelanders were willing to be slaves was one thing, but the City of Sin's method was undoubtedly efficient.
It was normal to set up road signs in areas that were completely under their control. But in areas where there were no enemies, these new farms that acted as the bridgehead for the City of Sin's expansion naturally wouldn't maintain high vigilance.
If it weren't for the threat of the exotic beasts, the people in the farms probably wouldn't have set up sentries. But since there were exotic beasts, it was certain that there would be people standing guard in the farms day and night.
The sky was completely dark. The assault team had already eaten their rations and rested for a few hours. In the wee hours of the morning, Gao Qi decided to launch the attack.
As wastelanders, slaves, or even bandits who relied on robbing for a living, Gao Qi's group didn't need to be mobilized before the battle. He just needed to tell them that there was something in front of them for them to rob. Even if it was needless to say what it was, these people would be as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. Whether it was food or weapons, even if it was just a pair of comfortable boots, these people would be more than happy to snatch it.
Therefore, the pre-battle mobilization step could be avoided. The work of encouraging these people to not shrink back at the last minute could also be saved. The only thing Gao Qi needed to do was to repeat the rules he had set a few times to strengthen these people's sense of discipline.
"I'll repeat it again. My rules are very simple. First, you must obey my orders. Anyone who disobeys my orders will be executed immediately. There is no second possibility.
As for the spoils of war, I don't care what you did in the past, but here, you must hand over everything you snatched to me and I will distribute it. If I find out that someone is secretly hiding the spoils of war, there will be no warning, no punishment, only death! "
Due to the language barrier, Gao Qi's words had to be translated by someone else. This made Gao Qi feel that his words were not convincing enough. Moreover, time was tight. Gao Qi could only emphasize it again and again before the battle, and then take the opportunity to find an unlucky person to make an example. Only in this way could he quickly establish the rules for this group of people.
The weather was clear, the moon was bright, and the stars were sparse. This was the best time to launch a night attack.
White had been to this farm before, so he naturally had to lead the way. As for Gao Qi, as the strongest DPS, of course, he had to follow along.
The car definitely could not be driven, and Gao Qi's injured leg could not walk for more than a few kilometers. What should he do? The only solution was to slide on the pole.
A chair tied up with two wooden poles was Gao Qi's transportation tool. Of course, this chair had to be carried by someone else.
He had no choice but to be carried by others, but Gao Qi would never treat his subordinates as servants, so when he found two people to carry him, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Sorry to trouble you."
After sitting on the chair and being lifted up by two people, Gao Qi said softly, "Let's go."
The dozens of people in the Hellfire Commandos might not be a qualified army, but they had done a lot of robberies at night, so they definitely had some basic common sense. Moreover, their abilities were not bad. The dozens of people walked on the road almost without making any sound. They just walked silently along the small path.
It did not take long to walk three kilometers, and a few faint lights could be seen in the distance. As they got closer and closer to the farm, which meant that they were getting closer and closer to the abandoned town, Gao Qi could even see the dark outline of the town.
"Boss, we'll enter the farm if we continue forward. They built a simple fence with barbed wire and wooden planks. The gate is built with barbed wire and will be closed at night. Well, I'm not too sure about the rest. I just had a meal here and took a simple rest before leaving."
White had been here once, but he did not have a deep impression of this place, so he was not familiar with the terrain and did not know the situation very well.
It was a choice to let people sneak into the farm and launch a surprise attack in the dark, but it was not a very good choice because Gao Qi did not trust the Hellfire Commandos' ability to fight at night. Under the premise of no light and no night vision devices, it was easy to let people out, but it was very difficult to take them back.
A night attack, in addition to the greatest degree of surprise, also had a very important advantage. It could form an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and firepower. Under the premise that they did not understand the enemy at all, it was definitely not a good idea to rashly scatter people and let them fight on their own.
All in all, Gao Qi was not an excellent commander, but he knew what mistakes he could not make.
"Spread out, set up a machine gun position, and get ready to shoot. Remember to save bullets. Don't shoot randomly."
Although there was moonlight, it definitely did not reach the level of illumination that could be used to shoot. And Gao Qi and the others were at least 200 meters away from the barbed wire fence of the farm, so no one knew what Gao Qi meant by giving this order.
Although they did not understand, the commandos still followed Gao Qi's orders. After they spread out, they used the cover of the bushes and weeds to aim their guns at the farm that they could not see anything.
Gao Qi took an energy core. Although his heart ached, there was no way he could save it now.
A fireball flew out from Gao Qi's fingertip, followed by a second, a third, and three fireballs quickly extended into the air. Then, the orange-red fireballs suddenly began to shine brightly, like three super-bright light bulbs hanging in the night sky, instantly illuminating half of the town.
These were three flares hanging in the air, and the fireballs were still flying out in front of Gao Qi, illuminating the farm and town even brighter.
The bell rang. This was the warning signal of the enemies on the farm. Some people began to run out of the houses. Some went up to the roofs, some ran to the open space, and some ran to the barbed wire fence to check out the situation.
The enemy's reaction was not slow, but now that they were in the open, the commandos were in the dark where they would never be discovered.
When the time was right, Gao Qi shouted, "Fire! Shoot at will! "
