Chapter 211: Hunger Games
The search party led by Su sent back news one after another in the afternoon.
Taking the incident as the starting point, a carpet search was carried out on the area within 500 kilometers. With the hard work of the soldiers with average abilities between the third step, the progress of this task was extremely fast. In Sue’s report, Zero and the other two captains could see. There was almost no trace of the three-hundred-kilometer area, but when the range expanded to about four hundred kilometers, the search party gradually discovered some marks of wheels.
At five hundred kilometers, the search party found dense car tracks. Judging from the tracks, the rider owned no less than three four-wheel-drive vehicles and more than twenty modified motorcycles. This was already the size of a medium-sized fleet, and they also had the ability to fight flexibly. Judging from the traces left behind by the group of bandits, they were heading towards the south of the coastline.
Although the search party continued to follow them, the clues stopped after they reached a distance of 700 kilometers due to the environment and mutated beasts.
Although Sue’s report stopped there, it gave them a general direction in which the robbers would leave. Thus, in the war room provided by George, a map of the area south of the coastline appeared above the light screen on the wall of the war room.
From the topographic map, it can be seen that the southern part of the coastline has more urban ruins, which has a lot to do with the fact that the southern part of the coastline is mostly plain. At the same time, there were a lot of mines in the known southern region. These mines were currently being excavated and produced by a small number of large companies or financial backers. However, most of them were abandoned mines from the old era.
It could be said that the southern regions of the plains had far too many places for the bandits to hide. Taking the city ruins and abandoned mines for a general count, the few of them could see more than a hundred hiding spots like this, or even more.
In turbulent times, unlike the old era, there was a perfect communication network and monitoring system. Even if the robbers hid in the no-man’s-land, they could still deduce the approximate location of the target based on the information mentioned above. In the new age, as long as you were not afraid of danger and went into the wilderness, it was not easy to find the target. Moreover, judging from the size of the enemy fleet, they could deal with dangerous situations and had a certain supply of food.
In other words, even if a lot of manpower and material resources are used to search for possible hiding spots. Even if the robbers didn’t move, it would still take them at least three to five months to locate.
