Yang Jie decided to attack the city early tomorrow morning. The morning was neither cold nor hot.
It's starting to get cold and the sky will soon get dark. It will be inconvenient if you can't see anything.
However, some players thought that they had to attack tonight to catch the people in the oasis off guard. In addition, it would be too cold at night, and they would be frozen if they stayed outside without any shelter.
Some players even suggested to rob the tent of the refugees nearby to rest for a night, but most players couldn't bear to do that and negotiated with the other party to squeeze in.
Finally, it was Yang Jie who made the final decision. He went to brainwash the refugees and persuaded the players to squeeze into the tent. If the siege was successful tomorrow, the refugees would be let in!
Of course, the refugees were excited when Yang Jie showed up, and their originally gloomy eyes lit up.
Zeng Piaoxue and Song Jin were also arranged to live in a tent, and coincidentally, it was the tent of the woman who showed them the way.
After the two of them went in, the woman felt awkward and nervous.
Zeng Piaoxue comforted her and said, "It's okay, just lie down and rest for a while, don't worry about us, we can just sit on the ground and lean on each other to sleep for the night!"
The woman originally wanted to give the bed to Zeng Piaoxue and the others, but Zeng Piaoxue and the others took the initiative to sit on the floor.
I am already very satisfied with having a tent to block the wind and isolate some temperature.
In fact, Zeng Piaoxue wanted to ask this woman about the situation inside the oasis, but it was obvious that this woman was not talkative.
The woman sat on the bed, holding her child in her arms and patting him gently. She spoke in a hoarse voice, "Are you really going to attack the oasis? Do you think you will succeed?"
Zeng Piaoxue answered truthfully: "I think we will succeed, because we have weapons and strength. We must attack the oasis to survive!"
The woman sighed: "My husband said the same thing. At that time, they exchanged some sticks and other things for work, and he wanted to fight with the people in the oasis to save me and the child. It's hard for the child to survive in such an environment!"
Zeng Piaoxue asked her own question: "Then how do you usually survive?"
"The people in the oasis would assign us work, such as building something or doing manual labor. After we finished the work, we would get food and water, but the amount was very little, only enough for survival, not much more!"
As the woman spoke of this, she looked down at her child with a very sad expression.
The baby in her arms was thin and pitiful. Zeng Piaoxue really wanted to give the child milk powder and food, but she didn't have any.
She really wanted to exchange some milk powder from the mall, but it was obviously not the right time now. She could only wait until the siege was over tomorrow.
"How did your place become like this? Has it always been a desert?"
After hearing Zeng Piaoxue's words, the woman fell into reminiscence: "It was when I was a child. When I was a child, the world was still full of tall buildings. My parents were working and I was in school. But the water resources gradually dried up, the Haihe River dried up, yellow sand flew all over the sky, and people began to migrate."
"The world gradually turned into a desert. People migrated to places that were originally deserts to find oases in the desert. Some people walked fast and some walked slowly. Those who walked fast entered the desert and found an oasis and built up their power and formed classes. People were needed to work in the oasis, and resources were limited."
The woman didn’t say anything more about what happened next, but Zeng Piaoxue naturally understood.
It is obvious that the people who came later were locked outside the oasis. When there was any work to be done, they were just asked to do it, and they were just given some food to keep them from starving.
As for whether these people are surviving well or whether they can raise their offspring normally, the people in the oasis don't care.
Zeng Piaoxue was filled with sorrow as she looked at the haggard face of the woman. She had just lost her husband and was holding a hungry child in her arms.
A mother is truly strong!
"What's your name?"
"Zhang Xi."
"It's a good name that means hope. Don't worry, we will definitely conquer the oasis. You and your child will survive. It's a pity for your husband!"
The woman shed tears silently, but her tears fell on the child's face. She held back her tears and carefully wiped them off the child's face.
The baby in the cradle was also very sensible. He just looked at his mother with his big shining eyes and never cried or shouted.
Zeng Piaoxue couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she leaned on Song Jin and closed her eyes to rest.
She also had to control herself and fall asleep quickly, otherwise she would not have the energy to attack the city tomorrow, as she also had to fight with her weapons in the back.
Song Jin hugged Zeng Piaoxue tightly, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
Although it was cold, the body temperature of the two people was transferred to each other, so it was not that unbearable.
When we woke up the next day, people from the oasis had already come out to assign work to the refugees and brought some food and water as breakfast.
Although the players were thirsty and hungry, they did not share the food. They hinted to the refugees to eat and drink first and not to work.
The woman who took in Zeng Piaoxue and Song Jin also put her child on the bed and went to work. She brought some food and water and wanted to share some with Zeng Piaoxue and the others, but Zeng Piaoxue refused.
This time, the goods distributed to them were firewood. The people in the oasis pulled the trees out by car, distributed axes to the woodcutters, and the women were responsible for picking up the chopped firewood and loading it into the car.
A group of men in armor watched these people finish their meal and work.
On this point, Zeng Piaoxue thought they were still quite merciful.
Seeing that the refugees had finished eating, the players looked at each other, took the guns allocated by Yang Jie and shot all the guarding soldiers, killing them all.
The refugees were stunned for a while with the axes in their hands, and then they went up to chop the soldiers. Although they knew they were dead, they still used the axes to hack the bodies into a bloody mess.
They are venting their anger.
The soldiers guarding the gate were also dealt with at once, and the players banged on the gate.
Hearing someone coming out, Song Jin threw a grenade inside when the door opened a crack.
There was a loud bang, and it was unclear what happened inside, but thick smoke drifted outside.
Yang Jie gave Song Jin a thumbs up in praise, saying that the timing of throwing the grenade was just right!
The players carefully opened the door and looked inside, shooting anyone they saw standing alive.
All the players just rushed in.
He kept shooting regardless.
Zeng Piaoxue shouted anxiously: "Don't shoot civilians without weapons!"
She thought that they couldn't kill everyone in the oasis just because they broke into it. That would be too abominable. It would be no different from locking up the oasis and not allowing anyone to enter.
She thought that these civilians could not be the masters of the oasis. There might be good people or bad people among them, so they could not be shot at together.
Those soldiers with weapons had no choice but to shoot, no matter whether the other side was good or bad, their stance was different when they had guns.
