CHAPTER XVI. 426 Regiment

Eastern Plateau, 130 km northeast of the town of Naples. Situ Nan put down the binoculars, they had been trapped in this temporary field training base for a week. Situ Nan was very depressed, their regiment was the top regiment in the plateau area, equipped with an armored battalion and three mechanized infantry battalions. Together with the guard company, reconnaissance company, and anti-chemical company, the whole regiment has nearly 2,000 people. Half a month ago, a batch of materials were sent from above, including the far-infrared reconnaissance equipment that their regiment commander had been applying for a long time. A batch of high-calorie packaged food, as well as several field supplies. Among them, a new type of combat uniform is specifically mentioned. Situ Nan was overjoyed, in order to respond to the "great love" of his superiors, the regiment commander, who knew how to seize the opportunity to perform, decided to equip the whole regiment with new combat uniforms, except for the armored battalion that stayed behind to guard the regimental headquarters, the other three mechanized infantry battalions were equipped with a new batch of clothing and supplies to conduct a large-scale field training in the plateau area. Therefore, the regiment headquarters held a mobilization meeting.

At the meeting, the regiment commander's words full of excitement still echoed in his ears: "Brothers, our Plateau 426 Sharp Corps has always been the vanguard infantry regiment of the Plateau Military Region. Our regiment fought bravely and made more meritorious contributions than other units. We are the first group in the plateau area. Now the higher-ups have finally re-examined our importance. The regimental headquarters was sent advanced equipment for active service. We must familiarize ourselves with and develop our new combat style in the shortest possible time and as quickly as possible, and we must win the honor of the First Rank Corps in the plateau region in one fell swoop, and hold it firmly in our hands from now on. Did you hear me clearly?! ”

"Hear me clearly!!" Uniform answers.

Next, our regiment will go to the Xiyuan Lost Mountain Range, where we will be divided into two camps for a simulated confrontation, the second battalion, the third battalion, you immediately assemble the troops, go to the logistics report to receive equipment, starting tomorrow, your two battalions will go to the west side of the city of Xiyuan to conduct a simulated confrontation in the mountains。。。。。 ”

Situ Nan took the lead in leading the 1st Battalion and the Guard Company to select a suitable area in the mountainous area of Xiyuan to set up the regimental headquarters, erect a communication antenna, connect it to satellite positioning, and begin to detect the movements of the two battalions. As an old-school regimental commander, Situ Nan is still famous in the plateau area. He graduated from a prestigious school and was a specially recruited talent in the plateau region, and in a few years, he rose through the ranks of the army with his military qualities, and jumped to the post of deputy regiment for several years. However, he was more than vigorous and vigorous in those years, and after taking up the post of head regiment, he published several military papers on several occasions, in which he talked a lot about the future military situation and strategic depth of the Eastern Kingdom. Some of these ideas are even contrary to the strategic thinking of the central mainstream. In addition, he is from a grassroots background and has no family background. His position was fixed at the regimental level, and his military rank was also fixed at lieutenant colonel. This must be 20 years. Therefore, Situ Nan's heart will not die, he thinks that this time it is a signal sent to him by the above. Only then did this impromptu military exercise take place. In addition, I hope to present a beautiful report on the mountain military exercise.

The 2nd Battalion took the lead in action, passed through a rapid march of almost three days, penetrated a distance of nearly 260 kilometers, and disappeared from the reconnaissance field of the 3rd Battalion. Situ Nan's idea was to go around to the rear of the third battalion, relying on the far infrared, and quietly touch the headquarters of the third battalion, the third battalion has many heavy weapons, which is not suitable for a long and rapid march, and the mountain depth of the transport vehicles is limited, they will definitely be stationed in a place with relatively convenient transportation, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, he had to get out of the field of view of the three battalions and emerge from a location that the three battalions did not expect.

Just when the second battalion arrived at the designated place, prepared to set up camp, and scattered scouts.

There was a wail from Situ Nan's regimental headquarters signal soldiers, and they threw away the headphones on their heads as if they had seen a ghost. Covered his ears and fell to the ground, several headphones hung in the air and dangled, and a clear and audible scream came from the speaker. Situ Nan was about to ask, when he suddenly saw that the lights in the command room began to flicker, suddenly emitting a dazzling bright light, and then all of them exploded. The radio stopped abruptly, and then a puff of green smoke rose violently. Command was plunged into darkness, with only a few panicked coughs.

Situ Nan covered his nose, got out of the smoke-filled headquarters, grabbed a running orderly and shouted, "Run an egg!" Hurry up and put out the fire! Situ Nan was fanning his nose and inhaling the air heavily, when suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the expressions of the people around him. He stared at the sky. The eerie green aurora is like a big green snake floating in the sky, winding all over the sky.

Situ Nan looked at the headquarters with thick smoke and fire extinguishers with an ugly face, and realized in his heart that something was wrong. The signal was cut off, and the two battalions that had been scattered became overwhelmed.

Situ Nan gathered the headquarters to clean up the supplies and waited in the valley for 24 hours. With the launch of signal flares, the companies that received the signals returned one after another. However, there are still teams that are within the range of flares and cannot be contacted.

After a busy sound, Situ Nan threw away the satellite intercom in his hand and stood on the mountain for a long time. An order was issued: "Set up firewood, light a bonfire and set off smoke, we will wait for them in a straight line for 24 hours, 120 kilometers away from them." After 24 hours, we returned to the regimental headquarters. ”

The next day, Situ Nan put down the telescope in his hand, Situ Nan opened the map, found a compass and a ruler, re-measured the terrain and route, and after experiencing the electronic-free era for a day and a night, he finally recalled the cartography he learned in the military school. He wasn't going to wait. After an hour of tidying up and leaving a mark on the spot, he deliberately planned to pass through the original 2nd Battalion on the way back.

As a result, this trip lasted three days, and without positioning and electronic maps, the entire regimental headquarters got lost and wandered around the mountains for hundreds of miles like a headless fly. Until dusk on the third day. Situ Nan saw the most terrifying and shocking scene in his life. The positions of the missing six companies and three platoons were found on the hillside of a village. The ground was covered with blood and stumps, mixed with some inhuman corpses. After careful identification, the orderly ninja vomited and dizzy, and reluctantly reported that it was from the sixth company of the second battalion, and there were at least 40-60 "parts" scattered around the scene, some of which were still missing. Situ Nan's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, he was not worried that he would be sent to a military court when he returned to the regiment headquarters, but because the dozen or so soldiers who died in battle were completely angry.

"All of them are there, stationed in place, cleaning up the bodies of comrades. I'm going to see what the hell killed our warriors! ”

Night soon fell, and Situ Nan finally saw the enemy as he wished. In the blurred field of view of the telescope, hundreds of wild corpses poured out of the villages below the mountains.

The encounter began unexpectedly. The firepower of hundreds of people made these crazy corpses all bleed on this hillside. At the same time, there were more than a dozen wounded in the first battalion, and this muddled encounter made all of them feel unreal and magical.

Situ Nan inspected the deserted village. If he didn't understand where these crazy corpses came from, he, the battalion commander, would be in vain. The fate of the remaining missing second battalion is uncertain, Situ Nan patted his drowsy head, he suddenly began to regret that he was at this juncture... Got away with it...

Now in such a situation, it is the best choice to rush back to the regiment headquarters to reorganize the rescue, but... It never occurred to him that identifying a seemingly pediatric task such as identifying a road would become a fatal problem after a satellite positioning failure would become a fatal problem. Situ Nan had no choice but to protect the hundreds of people in his hands as much as possible. Along the way, populated areas were avoided as much as possible. Finally, after another four days, they were trapped by a group of trailing corpses in a temporary base where they had been trained in the field. Fighting and retreating all the way, they were bitten by a small group of crazy corpses that came one after another, and they were forced to change direction several times, and now, they themselves don't know where they are.

Situ Nan sat down on the stone dejectedly, and took out a "Yundong Building" and lit it. His brain hurts right now, and he's never felt so aggrieved in his career as a big soldier.

"Report ... Report! The monsters are coming up again. They got together more and more. Captain, we're surrounded here! ”

Situ Nan took a puff of cigarette, put the butt of the cigarette on the sole of his shoe and rubbed it out, threw it on the ground, took a puff, scratched his hair as messy as a chicken nest with both hands, and stood up. "Break out, no matter where we go, or we might end up here...

At the same time, in the mountains outside the Plateau Research Institute, Zeng Tianqi and his entourage were arriving in a "Shanlan" off-road vehicle. Only this kind of diesel-engined car can barely drive now.

"This..." Marin looked at the huge valley in front of him, which was completely silent, completely losing the topography of the Gobi Desert on the plateau and turning into a dwarf forest. Layers of dense shrubs wrap the entire road surface and valley in layers. The valley is transformed into a world of bizarre plants. Those pale blue, black-purple plants are clearly no longer green plants in the sun.

"I'm sure it wasn't like that ten days ago. It's amazing. Are these mutated Gobi plants? Marlin looked at the jungle feverishly, "This is a sea buckthorn?" How did you grow so tall? It can be classified as an arbor species. Is this a shuttle? This canopy is simply a variant of Pinus stellaria... Marin forgot about it and began to cherish it. Bazhuo also curiously touched the branch in front of him without leaf patterns.

"Be careful!" Zeng Tianqi's face changed, and he shot like lightning, only to see the patterned rattan in front of Ba Zhuo's eyes suddenly burst out, winding towards Ba Zhuo, the moment Zeng Tianqi made a move, a dagger was conjured out of his hand like magic, only to see a flash of cold light, the rattan was split into two parts, and the rattan spewed out a lilac liquid, and it was still writhing and struggling a few times like a snake, and it drooped down and did not move.

Bazhuo's face turned green with fright, and he hurried away from these strange plants, which in his eyes he felt were as terrifying as the legendary grass demons.

"Let's stay close to each other and try not to touch these plants, our purpose is to enter the institute." Zeng Tianqi said while being vigilant around.

Soon, everyone realized that this dwarf forest was not only a strange tree, but also a lot of dangers lurking inside, and as soon as they stepped into it, everyone encountered a group of huge rock rats, and they stepped into the territory of the rock rats, angering the rock rats that were dormant during the day, and the rock rats screamed and tightened their bodies the size of small dogs. Flicking his tail like a long whip. In the end, Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu killed the three leaders of the group, and the remaining dozen or so rock rats left the corpses of their companions and fled.

Rock rats, spotted cats, and mole foxes... It has become a haven for all kinds of mutated survivors. The plants that grow wildly give these animals shelter and resources... Marin's eyes were full of light, and this look was the same as a mouse dropping a rice jar and a lion entering a flock. Excited lips trembled. However, he was abandoned by Zeng Tian and couldn't move.

"You came out through the vent before, didn't you??" Zeng Tianqi pointed to the gout mouth shaft that had twisted and collapsed in front of him. Marin looked dumbfounded, the direction of the standpipe mouth of the vent that he climbed out that could accommodate one person to crawl had been blocked by the rocks that had collapsed down from the mountain, and he looked at these huge stones of hundreds of pounds in front of him. How should I get into the institute now?

In an instant, everyone fell into a stupor, the vent was blocked, I don't know when it happened, the living people underground, are they still alive? Zeng Tianqi found a vacant lot, sat down, and looked at the collapsed place.

"Judging by the marks, these rocks probably collapsed shortly after you climbed out of the ground with a small movement. Even if it didn't collapse, you turned off the air circulation when you came out, for more than ten days. The people inside, even if they were not torn apart, are estimated to have died from running out of oxygen. Zeng Tianqi slowly analyzed. Marin was silent, in fact, he had already counted, but because his only son escaped, leaving a group of people waiting to die in this research institute like the tomb of the living dead, he was burdened with great guilt.

"These plants should belong to the plants in the basement of the research institute!" Marin suddenly pointed to a piece of vegetation and said. Zeng Tianqi listened to Ma Lin's words, and carefully surrounded the cluster of lush canopies in front of him, which was a cluster of blue-green bamboos with pale white patterns on it, "Python bamboo!" As I recall, it was a small sample of a plant from the incubation room on the first floor. It has excellent resistance to natural radiation. Sky! This growth rate against the sky! "Marin can't wait to live in the lab right away and study this cluster of python bamboo.

Zeng Tianqi frowned, and circled around the python bamboo, and the bamboo pole with a python-like pattern broke through the ground, and there were thick concrete blocks. Zeng Tianqi took out the dagger and tried the python bamboo, it was very hard, and he felt that the dagger was not cut on the bamboo, but like it was cut on a hard iron rod wood. When Zeng Tianqi was observing, "Ahhh Then he heard a sudden scream from Bazhuo.

"Little Bazhuo!" Su Xiaoyu shouted, hurriedly rushed over, and found Ba Zhuo's shadow somewhere. I saw a cave-in in the place where Bazhuo was staying, and it was dark and deep as far as the eye could see. "Little Bazhuo,,Bazhuo,Zhuo...

With an echo, no one responded.

Zeng Tianqi came quickly, Su Xiaoyu looked at Zeng Tianqi anxiously, along the way, Su Xiaoyu and Xiao Ba Zhuo were like sisters and brothers, Su Xiaoyu liked Ba Zhuo's simplicity very much, not only Zeng Tianqi, Su Xiaoyu also cherished this simplicity. Zeng Tianqi observed the cave in front of him for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have to go if I don't go underground this time. ”
