Chapter 10 Tracking
Looking back on the past, Liu Xingguo has been wearing this military uniform for ten years, and in ten years, he has changed from the ignorant and young hairy recruit to the current major officer.
It's just that in the past ten years, he has participated in training, performed tasks, experienced countless life and death tribulations, and also parted with his comrades.
It's just that even if he is an iron-blooded soldier like him, after experiencing the changes in the past two months, he can't help but sigh for the world.
One night two months ago, the special operations detachment of the Cangyuan Mountain Garrison District stood there as usual, the sentinels on duty stood there like snow and cold pines, their keen eyes patrolling the darkness in the distance, and there was silence all around.
However, a moment later, the silence was broken by a rapid burst of gunfire, mixed with low roars and chaotic screams. That's what happened to the disaster.
Cangyuan Mountain Special Operations Detachment, more than 500 people, more than 60% were infected by the virus and turned into zombies, Liu Xingguo saw his former dear comrades-in-arms, and the soldiers turned into muddy monsters and pounced on their comrades-in-arms in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to the special operations battalion's well-trained peacetime and sophisticated weapons in hand, this team avoided the fate of being wiped out after encountering a mutation.
At that time, the chief and deputy detachment commanders and political commissars were all killed, and Liu Xingguo, as the chief of staff of the detachment, naturally became the supreme commander here. With the rich experience accumulated in ten years of military experience, he calmly dealt with the calm command, and led the troops to finally wipe out all the zombies after a fierce battle. At this time, there were only more than 100 people left in this team of more than 500 people.
After such a drastic change, Liu Xingguo's first thought was to contact the higher-level military region, but he tried all kinds of means of communication but could not get in touch.
Later, Liu Xingguo gradually figured out the situation in the outside world, and inferred from various signs that the disaster was very widespread, and it was very likely that it was national or even world-wide. Then the situation of the higher-level government in this case is certainly not optimistic, and even the proportion of catching up with the outbreak of the virus is larger, and it is not impossible to paralyze the whole line.
At this time, if he still has the idea of waiting for support from his superiors, then he is not worthy of being a qualified commander.
Liu Xingguo immediately stopped those useless plans to contact his superiors, and used the existing Cangyuan Mountain Garrison Area as a base to collect refugees from the surrounding areas and set up a relief base for the military region.
It has to be said that Liu Xingguo is a talented person, and his resettlement of refugees is not simply to collect and appease, but to make the best use of things, first using a large number of young and strong laborers to consolidate the defense facilities of the base, and then boldly selecting more than 200 outstanding people to enlist in the army to replenish the troops lost after the catastrophe.
In this way, he not only saved a large number of refugees, but also expanded the military power in his hands, making his foothold in the last days more stable, and taking an important step for the healthy development of the base.
But these are only the good aspects, as the number of people at the base is increasing day by day, various negative factors are also highlighted. Not to mention other problems, the most serious and direct problem now is the food problem.
As a military garrison on one side, the Cangyuan Mountain Garrison Area naturally has its own grain reserves, and there is even a small breeding farm in the military region and a vegetable field cultivated by itself.
However, it was only prepared as a detachment of more than 500 people, and now the number of people in the base has exceeded 5,000 people, and it is impossible for either the warehouse of the troops or the breeding farm to control the same amount ten times as before! And it is obviously impractical to open up the wasteland for farming, so it will take at least a few months before harvesting, not to mention that it is not the planting season at all!
At the beginning of the last days, it was okay, and the food on the surface was still available, so at that time, send someone out to collect it, and it will be easy to return with a full load. As time went on, it became more and more difficult to gather food, and they began to drive far away, often sending out a convoy for a whole day, only to have half of the cars empty.
In recent days, the food inventory of the Cangyuan Mountain base has reached the point of being stretched, and the base has begun to implement a two-meal system!
In the face of this situation, Liu Xingguo, the leader of the base and chief of staff, is naturally the most anxious, the people take food as the sky, and food is the top priority in peacetime, not to mention such a turbulent last days. He didn't want to see his hard-earned base destroyed by starvation.
Liu Xingguo didn't even eat breakfast, so he handed over the affairs of the base to a capable subordinate of himself, and he decided to follow the search and rescue team to take a look outside.
Liu Xingguo's goal is Qinghe City, which is 300 kilometers away, and the purpose of this is because the nearby resources have been looted by them, and it is not far away.
The second reason is that Qinghe City is an important industrial town in Huai Province, with a developed economy and abundant resources, and the possibility of food being present here is the highest.
The third reason is that it is densely populated and the government is powerful, and I don't know if there is a government or some individual organization that has established a survivor base like Cangyuan Mountain after the catastrophe. If there is, contact them yourself, and the two parties will coordinate and take care of each other, so that for the time being, they have found a good partner, increased the chances of surviving in the last days, and in fact, they are setting up a connection point for the country's post-disaster reconstruction, which is not of ordinary significance.
Liu Xingguo has been in the army for ten years, and the idea of benefiting the country and the people has long been straight into the bone marrow, and every time he thinks about something, he can't help but think about the interests of the people and the country, and it is precisely because of this kind of thinking that he went to the front line to follow the search and rescue team to Qinghe regardless of the danger.
Of course, in order to ensure his safety, the base dispatched a field armored vehicle, and sixty soldiers with loaded guns were divided into five military trucks, and this level of protection is nothing to worry about even in the event of a large-scale corpse tide.
The search and rescue team drove out of the Cangyuan Mountain base in six vehicles and traveled 300 kilometers all the way to Qinghe City.
Of course, when they find a suspicious target, they will also stop for a routine search, and the target of the search is food and then the survival of the disaster, which is why this team is called a search and rescue team instead of a search team.
Just at the intersection ahead, members of the search and rescue team spotted several refugees being pursued by a small wave of corpses. The team members took decisive measures to eliminate the zombies and rescue the refugees.
The gunshot that Liu Chang and the others heard just now was issued by the search and rescue team when they were clearing the zombies.
The search and rescue team eliminated the zombies and rushed out of the smoke-filled neighborhood with the refugees, and Liu Xingguo, who was sitting in the armored car from afar, saw the black off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road in front of him.
From the domineering and rugged shape and deliberately rigid lines, he recognized at a glance that this was the domestic War Eagle series, and it was a civilian car with the most military feelings in China.
