I don't know if it's because of the effects of antimatter drugs or because human nature is forgetful.

On the second day's journey into the mountain, the surviving hundred or so security guards were much more enthusiastic than when they fled, and the sadness of abandoning their companions was quickly replaced by the joy of the rest of their lives.

Zhou Zhen heard the most words from the previous day's "Brother, why you?" It became, "Thankfully, it's not me." ”

"Are we going to hide with this nanochip for the rest of our lives?"

The security guard in the passenger seat asked Mozart, Mozart did not answer him, and the security guard turned his head to look at Zhou Zhen, who also remained silent.

If there is one lesson that Zhou Zhen has learned from the events of recent months, it is that there are always some seemingly unrelated questions that will have a solvable answer.

Removing ricin requires an immortal parasitic system, which Jiro Oshima will never hand over easily; The remote-controlled nanochip is a time bomb, and the bandit barracks don't have decent engineers.

If there are people who understand both parasitic systems and chip technology... Zhou Zhen remembered a name:

Natasha.

Temporary disappearance does not mean that there is no trace, and the circumference strings clues in the brain.

Four months ago, on the A28 mission, Natasha wrote a program to control the parasitic system; While in Jiro Oshima's office, Oshima was given access to the passive transfer program developed by Natasha; Two months later, the Moyyaz company introduced a parasitic system collection unit.

As far as Zhou Zhi knows, the four major enterprises only seem to be distinct in their main business, and Shennong Group focuses on genetic engineering and biological science; Mayez Technology is mainly engaged in quantum communication and nanomaterials; Nunn Logistics has a monopoly on the horse trade and the flow of passengers and goods; Kronos Energy is a mining and energy giant.

In some areas where it is difficult to draw boundaries, the four giants have been fighting openly and secretly, such as the collection and research and development of parasitic systems, which is one of the battlefields in which they secretly compete.

As a result, as an executive of the Shennong Group, it was almost impossible for Jiro Oshima to hand over the passive transfer process to Mayez.

Natasha said at the Dukang Restaurant four months ago that the scientists of the Enterprise Alliance have not yet figured out the inner workings of the parasitic robot, so how can Mayyaz Technology independently develop and produce a parasitic system collection device in a matter of months?

The biggest possibility is that there is a technical collaboration between Natasha and Moyez Technology.

The partner in charge of the research and development of the parasitic system of Mayez Technology is a new acquaintance, Carl Brown. Cal.

But if you want to go to Carl to ask about it, you have to run A01 again, Zhou Zhen doesn't plan to go by himself, this job can be handed over to the Armored Mouse Company, and his top priority now is to stabilize the defense of the barracks.

After understanding Natasha's question, he knocked on the back panel of the saddle, Mozart moved his body back, and Zhou Zhen said with a grin.

"In about ten days, the gang has a tough battle to fight, don't die, there will be surprises if you live."

…

On the morning of the fifth day, near the gang warning sign.

The convoy was struggling along the winding mountain road when a gunshot rang out in the woods.

Immediately after, a large tree fell down in the middle of the road.

Zhou Zhen quickly sat up straight with his body propped up, and raised his hand to signal the convoy behind him to stop.

"Brother Zhou... Oh no, Colonel Zhou! ”

H climbed the rope and slid down from a big tree, and Amiko, Lieutenant Colonel Dong, Jia Fuxing, and Han Tie and Jack also appeared.

Behind them were more than two hundred bandits with camouflage and camouflage uniforms.

"Dad, you're still alive!"

Amiko galloped towards Zhou's carriage.

"I'm not that easy to die."

Zhou Zhen jumped to the ground with the car board, and Amiko ran to the front, as if she wanted to hug him, but when she stopped, she looked at the bandits behind her, and then at the security guards in front of her, but she still retracted her hand and patted Zhou Zhen's shoulder.

"Who said I was dead? I'm all home. ”

Zhou Zhen asked angrily.

Amiko turned around and rolled her eyes at Lieutenant Colonel Dong and Jia Fuxing: "It's these two gangsters and stupid." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Dong and Jia Fuxing looked at each other in embarrassment, Zhou Zhen looked at them, and saw that the two of them had several big cuts on their clothes and pants, revealing the scars on their bodies that had not yet healed, obviously suffering a lot from Amiko.

Han Tie and Jack raised their fists with one hand on their heads, and the gangsters stood behind them like sculptures.

"What are you bringing so many people out for?"

Zhou asked inexplicably.

"I'll avenge you."

Amiko replied confidently.

Mozart tapped his rifle and tapped the wooden board of the saddle with the butt: "Brother, your gang is well-equipped and well-trained, and you still need our help?" ”

Zhou Zhen smiled wryly, it seemed that this was the result of Amiko's ten days of special training, he limped to Mozart's side and whispered to him.

"To tell you the truth, this is all our combat power, and it's too late to turn around and go back."

...

On the outside of the barracks wall hung a circle of corpses, like the cured meat dried in the autumn and winter of the Orion House, a few groups of crows chirping to prey on carrion, and the few whole corpses looked out from the outfit to be members of the bandits.

"This, what's going on."

As he waited for the door to open in front of the entrance tunnel, Mozart asked tremblingly.

"Oh, these are all guys who violate military discipline in training, don't care."

Zhou Zhen tried to make a nonchalant appearance, but in fact, he was also shocked by Amiko's methods.

"It's nonsense, and it's not all about violating discipline!"

Amiko overheard the conversation between the two and interrupted by pointing to the wall.

"The dozen or so here felt that the training was too hard to be deserters, so I cut off their legs; This group of people is stealing whole nutritious food, and I cut off their hands; These are the guys who want to shoot me cold, and they suffered a little before they die..."

While making an introduction like a tour guide, she took a few steps back and pointed to the three corpses with only the upper half of her body left: "And these three stinky hooligans, they actually broke into my tent and wanted to do something when they were training in the field, I can only let their lower body say goodbye to them." ”

Zhou Zhen secretly swallowed his spittle, counted the corpses, more than one hundred and eighty corpses, and the two company commanders Rafra pulled four hundred people, and those who are still alive are just enough to make up the establishment of two companies.

"Villains must be dealt with the means of villains." This is the truth he told Amiko before leaving, but when he asks himself, he may not be able to be ruthless and kill a killer like Amiko.

When the iron door opened, Mozart hesitated and stopped, as if he was about to enter the gates of hell.

Zhou Zhen walked into the barracks for a while, and found that Mozart did not follow, so he turned around and comforted with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, you are professionals, these are rabble." ”

Amiko also smiled evilly and pushed Mozart: "Uncle security, don't block the gate, you know the location of the gang, you must not be able to go back." ”

Mozart saw that it was Amiko who pushed him, jumped two steps away as if he had been bitten by a snake, took a few deep breaths to calm his mind, and then quickened his pace to catch up with Zhou and follow him closely.

...

Ten days of devilish training was not enough to transform the bandits, but at least it taught them what a military order is.

The two company commanders were the same as before, and the chubby Jack. Kante's face was a little smaller, while the short and thin Han Tie was much stronger.

When reporting the results of the training, Han Tie had 115 live mouths left in his company, and he was qualified.

Jack's 200 people, but only ninety-three people survived, and he was not qualified, so Zhou Zhen did what he said, and sent him to the canteen as a gangster, and let Lieutenant Colonel Dong take over his second company.

Jack had already seen truckloads of grain and vegetables being transported into the barracks, and he was not very disappointed about this post arrangement, and after saying a brief goodbye to Zhou Zhen and the others, he ran back to the tent to pack up the bedding.

Mozart and the security guards were organized into the third company by Zhou Zhi, who arranged for them to camp in the quietest and most comfortable high places in the barracks, and the weapons and equipment they were distributed were all in the best condition.

The treatment that exceeds the standard is often due to the strength of the group, and the current combat effectiveness of the bandits is indeed not comparable to that of the security forces.

On the one hand, this is because except for some veterans, the origin of the gang is too complex, and on the other hand, because of the professional experience of the security guards, Zhou Zhi's evaluation of "professionals" is not a compliment.

After the demise of the government, the solidification of the social division of labor has been the unwritten policy of the business alliance, and it has been implemented since the educational institutions.

Schools in the three-dimensional city are divided into three categories, basic schools, technical schools, and universities.

For people born in ordinary families, there is almost no freedom in their careers, and the trajectory of their lives is the same.

Before the age of six, receive home education.

At the age of six, students enter a basic school to learn basic knowledge such as reading, writing, arithmetic, and physical education.

At the age of twelve, with reference to his parents' professional background, personal interests and hobbies, as well as the results of basic schools, he was assigned to different technical schools by the talent instructors of the enterprise alliance and began eight years of part-time work-study vocational training.

There are dozens to hundreds of technical schools in each three-dimensional city, and the discipline setting and enrollment indicators change every year to meet the prediction of the enterprise alliance on the social talent gap.

For example, if the Alliance of Businesses predicts that there will be 3,000 vacancies in A28 in eight years, then A28 and nearby city groom schools will be allocated 3,000 places this year.

At the age of 20, each technical school will conduct a graduation examination, and those who successfully graduate will be assigned to the member companies of the enterprise alliance for internships and become a brick in the social building, while those who fail to graduate will automatically join the ranks of the unemployed and become garbage that cannot be recycled.

As for university, it's just an unattainable dream for ordinary people.

In the aftermath of the energy war, there were fewer than 100 universities left in the world, and business alliances banned all non-science and engineering majors.

And since the content of the written test and interview has nothing to do with vocational education, unless you are a genius in self-study, or your family foundation is strong enough, it is impossible to be admitted at all.

Born early is Zhou's advantage, he received a university diploma from a military academy during the government era.

The security guards were not so lucky, but they had been trained as security personnel of the corporate alliance since the age of twelve, and carrying guns and killing people was what they did best, and Mozart and his men had an extra skill in farming because they were stationed on the plantation.

Ordinary gang members are far behind, except for a small number of social unstable elements who volunteer to join, more are the unemployed and employees of various industries who have been forcibly recruited, that is, social garbage and waste bricks that do not match the size.

The addition of Mozart and others is not a tiger for the gang, but a relief in the snow.

After arranging the new and old combatants, Zhou Zhen began to deal with the old, weak, sick and disabled who had been disarmed and were not selected by the two company commanders.

The youngest of these people, Amiko, had been allotted cold weapons such as crossbows and bows and arrows, and like primitive tribesmen, they were released from the barracks every day to hunt and gather.

The rest of the men could not be idle, so Zhou arranged for Mozart's security guards to lead them to the mountains behind the barracks the next day to find suitable land for cultivation and train them to become qualified farmers.

After all, the stolen food can only last for a while, and if you want to have enough food and clothing, you still need to do it yourself.

After taking care of everything, at dinnertime, Zhou Zhen went to Bernard's office again to visit the nominal leader.

The hallway of the bunker filled the hallway with the smell of food, and the sentinels on either side swallowed and their eyes glazed.

When Zhou Zhen walked into the office, he couldn't believe everything in front of him, the books in the office were emptied, the stove was set up in the place where the bookshelves were originally placed, and Bernard was like a return to the light, stir-frying in front of the stove with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Bernard... You..."

Zhou Zhen sniffed and greeted Bernard.

Bernard turned his head in a loud voice, picked up the spatula and pointed to the repaired Eight Immortals table, and asked Zhou Zhen to sit and wait for the dishes.

Zhou Zhen walked to the stove, picked up the chopsticks sharpened from the branch, picked up a piece of meat from the pot and threw it into his mouth, and then gave a thumbs up.

"Absolutely, I really didn't know you would do this."

Bernard squeezed out a wrinkled sneer: "I'll have a lot, I want to discuss something with you." ”

"You say." Zhou Zhen agreed as he fished the meat from the pot.

Bernard didn't stop him, spitting out the cigarette butt to the side.

"As for what you said last time, the company will come to attack us, this defensive battle, you can give me the command."
