668 all the way north
Entering the camp, Ye Han went straight to the canteen under the leadership of the company commander, the company commander said hello, and the secretary took the cook to deliver the hot meal to the table. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The company commander rubbed his hands with a cramped face: "Chief, we are a small place here, and the conditions are limited, so please bear with me." ”
"It's okay, it's good to have a bite to eat." Ye Han picked up a plate and scooped a little of each of the two dishes, "Lian Commander Xu, don't you introduce these two dishes?" ”
"Hey!" The company commander agreed, "This is a stewed potato with ant meat, and the potatoes are grown by ourselves; This is a wild vegetable fried mushroom, the soldiers went out to pick it, and I am in this realm, and this is just this wild thing. ”
Ye Han took a chopstick and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice and nodded: "It tastes good, don't be stunned, let's eat." ”
To tell the truth, the level of the cooks in this company is average, the ant meat stewed potatoes are okay, and the fried mushrooms with wild vegetables are very ordinary, but now there are no conditions for this situation, and everyone is a soldier, and it is very good to have a bite of hot food to eat, where is it so poor and exquisite?
As soon as the soldiers heard that they would be polite, they immediately divided the two large pots of vegetables.
Many warriors are in contact with ant meat for the first time, but with Ye Han taking the lead, others have no room to refuse at all, and it is impossible to refuse, let alone want to refuse.
Waste is sin!
Wasting before the plague was at most morally condemned, but in this era of scarcity, it is a real crime.
The northern capital has not yet abolished the supply system, and the common people of the whole country are barely filling their stomachs, so even the Marine Corps, a key unit that gives priority to the supply of materials, does not dare to have the slightest extravagance and waste.
The situation in the country is not bad, not only can it be self-sufficient in food, but also meat and other non-staple foods can be supplied a little.
However, affected by the insect plague, wild animals around the world have been extinct or endangered, and the traditional breeding industry has been devastated.
The decline of the traditional aquaculture industry could not reduce the demand for meat at the table, and a new aquaculture industry came into being.
Taking Beidu as an example, 14% of the meat in the entire Beidu market is snail meat produced by giant snail farms in the northern suburbs, accounting for 14% of the Beidu meat market!
Needless to say, many countries have been hit hard by insect plagues, industry and agriculture have been shut down, and many of the hardest-hit areas are still starving and dying, and countless people have died.
For those hungry people who are still struggling on the line of death, having a bite to eat is already a great luxury, and being able to eat meat and wild vegetables is not exchanged for heaven!
Well, even if the domestic supplies are quite abundant, so the two dishes have reached the upper middle level.
After the meal, Ye Han expressed satisfaction with Company Commander Xu's hospitality, and after rejecting Company Commander Xu's enthusiastic retention, the team continued to march north.
The entire Linzhou has been abandoned for several years, the roads are in disrepair, the bridges are either blown up to limit the insect swarms during the encirclement and suppression of giant insects, or they collapse due to lack of maintenance, the original road network extending in all directions has long been fragmented, and only the war-ready roads for the army to transport supplies are in good condition.
However, the standard of the war readiness highway was too low, and the convoy trekked through mountains and rivers to stop and stop, and at night, the convoy finally reached the goal of the trip, which was a military camp in the deepest part of the insect-occupied area.
Don't look at the area of this place is not large, there are not many people stationed, but it is one of the most important monitoring nodes of the entire eastern front, from here to the north more than 20 kilometers is the border, and the task of this camp is to monitor the situation on the northern border, not only to grasp and guide the ant colony, but also responsible for monitoring the movement of the wolf worm, once the wolf worm is found to cross the border, it is necessary to use means such as sowing pheromones to guide the ant colony to gather in the direction where the wolf worm is located, so that the ant colony can offset the quality advantage of the wolf worm with a quantitative advantage, and finally achieve the purpose of annihilating the wolf worm.
If the ant colony is not effective, the monitoring camp must call fire support in time to kill the wolf insects and save the ant colony.
It can be said that all the officers and soldiers stationed in this camp are real experts in giant ants - Ye Han has only mastered some habits of giant ants, and the officers and soldiers here even know when giant ants mate, and if they guide the queen ant to integrate into the old ant colony, instead of separating the family.
The total number of people in this place is less than a platoon, but the supervisor is a lieutenant colonel, and after the convoy arrived, the lieutenant colonel gave Ye Han a detailed description of the situation on both sides of the border.
"Twenty-four kilometers to the north is the border, thirty-four kilometers to the northeast is the abandoned Huicheng, Maozi's Kashi and Huicheng face each other across the river, the port there was originally a very important trade node, but after Huicheng was abandoned, Maozi also gave up Kashi, and there are two similar situations in my defense area."
"How many abandoned cities are there in Maozi?" Ye Han asked.
"Many of the cities along the border were abandoned after the insect plague and continued north into Siberia, and there are many old cities that were once glorious in the former Soviet Union and have been abandoned for decades."
"Give me a detailed map."
"Okay, electronic version or regular version?"
"All of them, the more detailed the better."
"No problem."
"I'd also like to know about the wolfworms." Ye Han said.
"No problem." The lieutenant colonel simply agreed, "At present, the ant colony has gained a firm foothold abroad, and within thirty kilometers outside the territory is the control area of the ant colony, and further north, the actual control line of the ant colony and the sphere of influence of the wolf worm are intertwined......"
"In other words, thirty kilometers away from the border is the territory of wolves, I understand it that way, right?"
"Yes." The lieutenant colonel nodded.
"Do you have any details on the wolfworm? For example, which direction has the most wolf bugs, and where the nest is most likely to be. ”
"Yes...... This is more complicated, and I can't explain it clearly for a while, can I just mark it on the map? ”
"Yes, it would be better to be detailed."
"Do your best." The lieutenant colonel said, "But we know very little, and the Tiangong should have more detailed information." ”
Tiangong not only has space telescopes for observing celestial bodies, but also various equipment for observing the earth, Siberia is the only source of insects close to its own border, how can Tiangong not regard Siberia as the focus of observation?
"We have information on the Tiangong, but the information provided by the front line is just as important."
The lieutenant colonel smiled: "It would be great to be able to help, what else is there to need us?" ”
"Not for a while...... Well, ants are hibernating, right? ”
"It's coming soon, the temperature has dropped sharply recently, and it's just a matter of the past few days."
"That's right, the situation in the north is very tricky, and when we leave, you will go south immediately."
