Chapter One Hundred and Six: The Pre-War Conference

In the conference hall of the military base, all the top levels of the government sat around the conference table, and all eyes were on the projection screen on the wall next to the conference table and on the body of a person

"Dr. Sun, everyone is here, let's start" Long Hao, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, turned to look at Dr. Sun who was standing in front of the projection screen

This person is none other than the head of the research institute in charge of various research in the settlement, and I don't know if all the scientists are like this, or because of the arrival of the zombie army, Dr. Sun is undressed and haggard

"Guys, let me give you a brief introduction."

Dr. Sun didn't talk nonsense, he immediately got to the point, he pressed the button, and a screenshot of the zombie army marching immediately appeared on the screen, and then Dr. Sun enlarged the picture until the zombie's expression could be clearly seen in the screen

"Everyone, please look" Dr. Sun turned around and pointed at a zombie on the screen with a stick, this zombie has a faint green light in its eyes, its hair has fallen out, and its body is a cut shorter than the zombies around it, if it weren't for the drone shooting from the sky, it would almost not be visible in the zombie army, on its back, there is a bulging round meat tube, and there is a hole in the meat tube, which looks as if it is carrying a cannon barrel on its back

"During this time, we have been studying the video given to us by the military department" Then Dr. Sun changed a few screenshots one by one, the time of each screenshot is different, the order of time is from front to back, because the location of the shooting is relatively far, looking down to see nothing, but everyone knows that Dr. Sun must be trying to say something, so they all looked at Dr. Sun seriously, until after the release, Dr. Sun put together a few screenshots of the zombie army out of the city at the beginning and a screenshot of the recent time, and then enlarged the two screenshots together, at this time, The change finally appeared, only to see that in the two screenshots, compared to the photo when the zombie army first left the city, in the screenshot with the most recent date, the body shape of many zombies in the zombie army has changed significantly, some have become taller, some have become lower, and the appearance has also changed

At this time, Dr. Sun turned to look at everyone, "I think everyone can see now, compared to when they first came out of the city, there are more second-level zombies in the zombie army now, and there are many varieties that have never been seen before."

"During this time, we have been studying the route and behavioral intentions of the zombie army, and we found the same" The screen changed again, becoming an electronic map, and the electronic map marked the route of the zombie army in detail with a red line, and then Dr. Sun pointed to the red line and said, "This is the route of the zombie army, we have done research, and the places where the zombie army has passed are places with more human settlements"

"In the past few days, we have been studying the behavioral characteristics of zombies, and we have found one thing, that is, the evolution of zombies does not depend on chance, but on the amount of energy obtained and some unknown factors, what does it mean?"

"Everyone, please see" At this time, Dr. Sun switched to another picture, this picture has two photos of zombies, these two zombies, the first one looks no different from ordinary zombies, but the second zombie looks stronger, and the face has become firmer, like extremely strong muscles, and then Dr. Sun pointed to the picture and said, "These two zombies are actually the same one, the first photo was taken when the zombie army first came out, and the second one was taken more than half a month later"

Dr. Sun nodded slightly to the guard at the door, and the guard immediately turned on the light, and then Dr. Sun looked at everyone and said, "According to all the information and our research, I found the same, that is, the evolution of zombies In addition to some reasons that we don't know, the other most important reason is the amount of food, so I can be sure of one thing, that is, the reason why the zombie army went around in a big circle this time was for the same purpose - food, the zombie leader took the zombie army around in such a big circle, In order to give more food to the zombie army, let more zombies evolve, increase their strength, and then deal with us well"

"However, we still don't have a clue as to why the zombie leader can know the location of our settlement, why the zombie leader can make all the zombies obedient, and how it conveys instructions to the zombies, so far, we still don't have a clue, generals, city lords, I'm really sorry" After speaking, Dr. Sun glanced at everyone with an apologetic look on his face

"Hey!" At this time, Long Hao suddenly waved his hand and interrupted Dr. Sun, "Dr. Sun, you are serious, you can rely on that simple equipment to carry out research to this point, your research institute is already very powerful, if you want to apologize, then it is time for us to say, as the city lord, I can't afford to give you the equipment you need, it's my fault"

Long Hao was not polite to Dr. Sun, and waved his hand, "Dr. Sun, you are also tired today, you go back and rest first!" ”

"Yes" Dr. Sun also knew that they had important things to do, so he turned and left the conference room without saying anything

When the door closed again, Long Hao looked at everyone present, "You must have heard what Dr. Sun said, do you have any opinions or opinions?" ”

As soon as Long Hao's words fell, everyone looked at Bai Zhiyuan, among all the people present, Bai Zhiyuan's power can be said to be the largest except for Long Hao, although the generals of the other three legions are nominally equal to Bai Zhiyuan, but the actual power is far inferior to Bai Zhiyuan, as for the reason, it is very simple, because the Dragon Army is the strongest force, and Bai Zhiyuan is the supreme commander of the Dragon Army, so such an important matter, it is natural to look at Bai Zhiyuan's views or attitudes first

Seeing everyone looking at him, Bai Zhiyuan also thought about it, and then said cautiously, "The situation this time is very grim, and there is a possibility that the whole army will be wiped out if you are not careful, but there are two sides to everything."

Speaking of this, Bai Zhiyuan glanced at everyone, "Have you ever thought about it, what will happen if we win?" What would happen if we wiped out the zombie army? ”

None of the people present were fools, although Bai Zhiyuan did not say it explicitly, but everyone understood what Bai Zhiyuan meant, as the saying goes: The blessing of misfortune depends on it, and the misfortune of blessing lurks! Such a huge army of zombies, with the current population and strength of the settlement, is definitely a disaster for the settlement, but this is also an opportunity, the number of zombies in Liushi is nearly 10 million, with the strength and population of the settlement, if you want to attack Liushi, it is purely looking for death, not to mention the problem of troops, they can't solve the problem of logistics and marching alone, however, the zombies of Liushi are different this time to attack the settlement, in the case of occupying the right time, place and people, If they can successfully defend the settlement this time, not to mention annihilating the zombie army, even if it is a heavy damage to the zombie army, two hundred kilometers away from the deep mountains, it is not certain how much they can go back, at that time, there will only be more than one hundred and two million zombies left in the entire Liushi, plus there is no zombie leader under the leadership, the settlement will have the opportunity to recapture Liushi in one fell swoop

City, for people living in peacetime, may be at most more entertainment venues, convenient life, high-rise buildings, looks scientific and technological, nothing more, but only a few people can see the real importance of the city, throughout all the historical dynasties and countries, the city has always been a vital place, the stronger the country, in addition to the developed agriculture, the bigger and stronger the city, but many people only see the importance of agriculture and ignore the influence of the city on a country, the city, But it's not just the large number of people, but throughout history and modern times, one thing that no one mentions but is crucial is that human technological invention and productivity all depend on cities. Because the agglomeration of population and production innovation are inseparable from the same, that is, infrastructure, Long Hao their settlement, although the population is also large, there are also a lot of basic resources around, but why has not been able to improve productivity, the most important reason is infrastructure, in this kind of deep mountain basin, want to develop, it is almost impossible, the longer the time, the more obvious this trend, and if you want to develop strong, you must get rid of the restrictions of infrastructure, this is what you say in a corner

"Yanagichi...."

Everyone present, including Long Hao, was panting, as the high-level of the settlement, they all knew the fatal shortcomings of the settlement, and at the same time, Liushi's temptation to them was even stronger

"Okay, fight, fight" The commander of the third division slapped the table and stood up, "Fight!" I can't bear the child to catch the wolf."

"Good! Li Biao, who has always been known for his calmness, changed his previous calm and stood up excitedly, "There is no free lunch in the world, and if you want to get a reward, you have to take this risk"

"That's right! The Chief of Staff was right! Hit"

"I second"

"I also second......"

All the generals present stood up and looked at Long Hao with an impassioned expression

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, which is an unchanging truth since ancient times, and no one is an exception, especially Long Hao, who has always been eager to restore industry

"Good! Since this is the case, then we should seize the time to prepare for the war" The general policy has been decided, and then we must do a good job in the following work

"Thunder!" Long Hao looked at Lei Ming, "How is the grain growing outside?" When can it be harvested? ”

"City Lord, the crops are basically ripe and ready to be harvested at any time" As the logistics minister of the settlement, food is the top priority, so Lei Ming did not dare to slack off, he knew that this day might come, Lei Ming has been pinching the time to choose crops to plant, in order not to waste, to ensure the food supply of the settlement

"Okay" For Lei Ming's work, Long Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then Long Hao looked at the two generals sitting behind Bai Zhiyuan, "General Jin, General Qi, how are you preparing over there?"

As the commanders of the first and second divisions, Jin Hui and Qilan naturally did not dare to make mistakes

"City Lord, the fortifications on the mountains on both sides have been basically completed, and now there is only a small section of the 502 position, and it will be completed in half a month at most."

After Jin Hui, the commander of the first division, finished speaking, the commander of the second division immediately continued to report

"City Lord, our second division has completed its mission, all weapons, ammunition and materials have been secretly transported to the predetermined location, and the number has been verified."

"Good! General Jin, you hurry up, it must be completed within half a month" Because he was worried that he could not complete it on time, Long Hao reminded Jin Hui again, "Jin Hui, you remember, you can only delay it in advance, otherwise the military law will be engaged, if there is any problem, tell me immediately, I can increase the manpower for you if there is not enough manpower, but you must not delay the date, understand no"

"Don't worry, city lord! It must be completed within half a month, or you will kill me."

Seeing Jin Hui swearing and patting his chest, Long Hao was relieved to be "good"

"An announcement will be made tomorrow, starting tomorrow, all people will be included in the supervision of the army, all men between the ages of 16 and 55 will be integrated into the army, and women between the ages of 18 and 50, except for those with special conditions such as pregnancy, will be all assigned to the reserve for training, and they will be first organized into logistics troops, and they will be transferred to the front line of war support at any time when needed in wartime, and the elderly and children, depending on the situation, let them be responsible for transporting supplies and cooking"

Then Long Hao looked at He Nian and Jin Hui, the commanders of the Third Division, "General He, starting tomorrow, block the city gate, everyone, without permission, can only enter and not exit, all those who harvest crops must be sent to monitor, and those who want to escape will be killed."

"General Kim, your first division is responsible for counting and registering all the population information, and arranging all of them for their tasks and training them as I said"

"Others, prepare for war immediately according to the predetermined plan"

Soon Long Hao assigned the tasks one by one

"Obey ......"

Seeing that there was no objection, Long Hao then waved his hand, "Okay, adjourn the meeting"

All the generals stood up and saluted, then turned around and walked quickly out of the conference room, and soon there was only Long Hao alone in the conference room, as well as a guard at the door

When everyone is gone, the majesty on Long Hao's face slowly disappeared, he looked at the air blankly, his eyes were full of confusion and fear, all along, he has been abiding by the duties of a soldier, but this time, he wants to coerce the people by force, he is unwilling in every way, but he has no choice, if the people all run away, with the strength of the army, it is simply not enough to resist the zombie army, if he wants to win, he must unite the forces of the entire settlement to fight against the water, but this desperate behavior, the consequences are also extremely serious, If they lose, then hundreds of thousands of people in the entire settlement will be buried together

"Dad! Do you say I was right or wrong? Long Hao muttered, he didn't just ask his father, but also himself
