The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 386 - 379 The Only Flaw
Chapter 386: Chapter 379 The Only Flaw
Gao Yuan and his companions settled down at the Abu Hadi Airport.
Waiting for reinforcements from Israel, waiting for the wounds of the injured to heal, the Sanitation Worker didn’t rush to launch an attack—of course, it was also possible that the Sanitation Worker no longer had the power to attack again.
In an apocalypse, what’s most precious is actually people, living forces. Many countries’ armies can’t maintain their structure, not because they lack weapons, but because there are no people left to operate those weapons, and no people to maintain the cohesion of the group.
No one knew exactly what was happening on the Sanitation Worker’s side, but at Nate’s camp, although the morale was low, they managed to maintain a rare sense of unity.
Because everyone knew that leaving Abu Hadi Airport, leaving this organization, would only lead to a dead end.
Gao Yuan and his group were living in a tent, and Nate also stayed in a tent. It had been ten days, and Nate hadn’t taken the initiative to approach Gao Yuan, even though they were only a short hundred meters apart.
Every day, Nate could be seen bustling about inside and out, busying himself with matters unknown.
Gao Yuan had the intention to take the initiative to find Nate, but after thinking it over, he found no reason to approach Nate. Food was provided regularly and in fixed amounts, medicine was also supplied on time, and the doctors from Angel were very responsible. Overall, Gao Yuan had no grounds for complaint, as they received the same treatment as Nate.
Nate even specifically had someone send Gao Yuan a can of black tea, but he never sought Gao Yuan out to say even a single word.
Gao Yuan worried every day that the Sanitation Worker would attack, but these ten days were calm. The Sanitation Worker showed no signs of activity, yet Nate still arranged for personnel every day, deploying reconnaissance troops, establishing warning outposts in the directions from which the Sanitation Worker might come.
After these days together, Gao Yuan had gained a rough understanding of the Angel Mercenary Corps. About half of the people were from Angel Mercenary Corps and were mostly Germans, and of these, a smaller portion had been brought over by Renato.
The majority were Biliya People; however, in terms of combat ability and equipment, the Biliya People were somewhat inferior to the Germans.
The German troops in Afghan had already been outfitted with the HK433 rifle, which is Germany’s new generation assault rifle, but here in the Angel Mercenary Corps, they were still using G36 assault rifles.
As for their snipers, they used a wide variety of models, practically every kind of rifle, but the machine guns were surprisingly the outdated MG3, and that was the only type of general-purpose machine gun they had.
It is worth noting that the MG3 machine gun is a modified version of the famous yet similarly outdated MG42 machine gun.
However, Gao Yuan had no way to know the real combat effectiveness of the Angel Mercenary Corps, unless he could witness their men in battle, which would give him a much deeper impression.
But from some of the details he observed, Gao Yuan felt that the combat power of the people in the Angel Mercenary Corps should be quite competent.
Now that it was summer, although the sun couldn’t reach inside the parking area, it was still unbearably hot. When there was no breeze, it was tolerable, but a hot wind would make one break into sweat instantly.
Even under such conditions, the German soldiers still wore their uniforms neatly. Their clothes couldn’t be said to be clean, but each man made sure to wear his uniform well.
The soul of an army is its commander, and no matter the situation, Nate always looked impeccable in his military bearing and appearance. Thus, his subordinates did the same, and even in the heat, when most were rolling up their sleeves, they still wore their combat uniforms.
In stark contrast to the Germans were the Russians.
In the battle of Sirte, two Russians died and the remaining two were injured; Yuri and Green Hat were not seriously hurt, so they neither retreated to Israel nor were willing to. Instead, they decisively stayed at Abu Hadi Airport.
Yuri hadn’t worn a shirt for days, and as for Green Hat, he only ever wore shorts every day. Military appearance? What’s that?
But when it came to Gao Yuan and his crew, things were different.
As Li Jingang put it, don’t be as rigid as the Germans who, obviously overheating, still wore full combat gear and sweated through their clothes all day long without finding it uncomfortable, which was just vanity causing unnecessary suffering.
But it wasn’t acceptable to go about shirtless like the Russians either, as it was quite an unseemly sight.
So, Gao Yuan and his people adopted a compromise, neither bare-chested nor clad in combat gear; each wore a vest and a pair of shorts, suffering much less than the Germans and looking a bit more presentable than the Russians.
In fact, the attire reflected the styles of the three countries.
Everyone dressed according to their own habits and what they found comfortable, not minding others and mentally laughing at the other two groups.
However, during those ten days at Abu Hadi, Gao Yuan noticed something odd: everyone else was dying from the heat, but he hardly felt it.
Gao Yuan felt warm, but only slightly so, not comfortable, but certainly not uncomfortably hot. Thus, he rarely sweated, and even with some activity, he barely did. Logically, sweating is an important function for regulating body temperature, but it seemed that his temperature didn’t need to be adjusted through sweating.
And it was the same with Xinghe, she also seldom sweated, as if the two of them were in a different season from everyone else.
But Gao Yuan’s physiology was no longer that of a normal person, and Xinghe, being an alien, was even less so. Therefore, in any case, it was normal for them.
The only concern for Gao Yuan was the injured, but he found that the medicine used by the Angel Mercenary Corps was quite extraordinary. With their medication, the wounded’s recovery rate accelerated significantly, just like the drugs they had brought from Shenzhou at the start.
According to Li Jingang, the medicine resembled what they secretly used back in China. Wang Ning had also brought a lot of it, but it was nearly all used up. However, why the Angel Mercenary Corps had the same medicine, he had no idea.
Considering that what Ram had, Nate seemed to have as well, there was no need for further guesses.
All in all, life at Abu Hadi was pretty good, safe and peaceful, with no battles, no aliens or monsters, and pleasant interactions with the people around, with nothing noteworthy happening.
But the greatest shortcoming at Abu Hadi Airport was the poor quality of food.
One could get full, but definitely not eat well; it was just flatbread and water every day, with only one meal a day providing a small amount of dehydrated vegetables. The food here couldn’t even compare to when Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu were hiding in the Taihang Mountains.
Therefore, Gao Yuan eagerly looked forward to leaving Abu Hadi Airport because he believed that the food would definitely be better where Ram was, not for any special reason, but because Ram was from Shenzhou, so he would surely enjoy life more than Nate.
