Chapter Twenty-Three: Mutation Collision

Zombies are different from humans, if their bodies are injured, their combat effectiveness will not be weakened much, and only by cutting off their heads directly can they completely make it die.

Zhang Jiaming's ability has begun to evolve to the fourth level, but his three followers are only at the level of its first-level form, which is basically the power of miscellaneous fighting, Zhang Jiaming did not let his good sons deal with M-type zombies, and he first got on the bar with three 2-meter-high muscular men!

After tearing dozens of zombies effortlessly, with a storm of flesh and blood, Zhang Jiaming pounced on one of the M-type zombies, compared to the blacksmith uncle he saw at the beginning, this zombie is only a lot bigger, and the arms and legs of these evolved zombies are not as stiff as those ordinary zombies, almost when the werewolf pounced, the zombies opened their arms, wanting to have a bear hug, so that the orcs could be strangled so that the companions behind could come up to help, in fact, the zombies did not have this strategic awareness, except for the warlord-type zombies in the back!

Wise beings are respected, but in the eyes of the two opposing classes, neither side cares about anything fair and insignificant.

The werewolf slyly flashed his figure, quickly dodged the almost doomed blow, went around behind the other party, and without waiting for the zombie to react, the long claws twisted the zombie's thick neck, and with just one force, the head of the M-shaped zombie moved, throwing off the zombie that had been abolished, Zhang Jiaming pounced on the other two heads again, this time he didn't even bother to avoid, and from the strength of the M-shaped in front of him, he could tell that he was much stronger than them, and directly pounced on the M-shape, and crushed it to the ground, Four sharp canine teeth quickly gnawed on the neck of the zombie, this is an attempt, Zhang Jiaming's attack mode under the guidance of animal nature is of course becoming more and more brutal, but this is a zombie, in the past, being bitten or scratched by them is basically equivalent to a death sentence, but there are also pathogenic viruses in their bodies, and these viruses have been improved, and they have turned around to support their own mutations!

This is equivalent to saying that werewolves are completely immune to the virus. The zombie's neck was quickly torn apart, spitting out those carrion meat, Zhang Jiaming pounced on the last end, who would have thought that the three wolf cubs in the back saw that the godfather was killed, and suddenly had the consciousness of helping independently, and they went up together, and divided the R-type zombie into several pieces before Zhang Jiaming, completely ending this wave of attacks.

Looking at the broken corpses in one place, the werewolves were not satisfied, and the final zombie leader--- the warlord-level zombie was still in the village, and if it was not eliminated, it would not be a complete victory!

The R-type zombie was on the barn of the stockade, restless at the moment, constantly scurrying, and let out a low roar from time to time.

Most of his subordinates have been lost, and the most powerful three-headed zombies have also been killed inexplicably, leaving only 5 Type I and a dozen P-type zombies as the last strength, although there are nearly more than 100 ordinary zombies, under the opponent's devastating offensive, it can only be regarded as an addition, and it is really a problem whether it can be topped or not.

The werewolf arrived in an instant, and without waiting for the zombie group to move, 4 wolves crashed away from the zombie group, and the target was directly aimed at the R-type zombies, the werewolves knew very well that this warlord-level zombie was the commander-in-chief of all the zombies here, and if he killed him, the zombie group would regain its original consciousness of autonomy, and it would become a plate of loose sand, and it would be easier to clean up, sensing that the danger was approaching, the R-type zombies let out a strange scream, and the group of Type I zombies around them became swollen almost at the same moment, and the size became larger more than one circle.

The werewolf was shocked, it turned out that this guy's ability was to strengthen his subordinates, and the Type I zombie was directly catalyzed and entered the second form in advance, the Type I2 zombie!

The dozen or so monkey-like P-type zombies also suddenly became faster, and the two sides collided together between lightning and thunder, and the three wolf cubs faced the P-type battle group, facing the siege of 5 I2 type zombies on their side, and a large number of ordinary zombies next to them also gathered and approached the chaotic battle group.

This time, even if you meet an opponent, if you talk about a single combat power, Zhang Jiaming can tear any one of the opponents at will, reality is reality, the truth that one plus one is greater than two shows the most harsh lesson to the werewolf at this moment, the horror of the zombies with wisdom to command is also this, 5 zombies are constantly harassing Zhang Jiaming's offensive line from different angles and directions, everyone is at the same speed, especially in the form of a giant wolf, he has become a lot clumsy in front of these petite zombies, and he has fought several times, Although one was successfully killed, the others became more and more cautious, only occasionally pretending to pounce, or making moves to confuse the other party, but they didn't dare to make head-on contact with the werewolf, the hole cards of the R-type zombies seemed to be these, the werewolf roared a few times, and instantly increased his speed, this time, it was more than twice as fast as before, compared to the M-type that was full of muscles, these I-type zombies in addition to speed, the strength of the body can only be regarded as tofu scum, in the blink of an eye, The remaining few zombies that were catalyzed into type I2 turned into fragments of a place, and the battle between the wolf cubs and the wolf cubs was also coming to an end, and the P-type zombies could only be regarded as a weakened version of Type I, which was useless except for jumping relatively high, and the ability of R-type zombies was estimated to only catalyze a small number of zombies around them, otherwise, all the ordinary zombies would be catalyzed into M-type zombies, and then Zhang Jiaming would be tired.

The R-type zombie refused to sit still, it screamed furiously, and like a wounded beast, it did not choose to flee in humiliation, but resisted on the spot!

The werewolf didn't give it time to gather its forces, and from the air and on the ground, the four werewolves pounced on it with a high-pitched cry, and the wolves were torn apart!

Bloodstained! This zombie leader, who has not yet passed the addiction of a warlord, fell early and completely lost his vitality.

A wolf howl that broke through the sky announced the victory of this battle, and Tanjiazhai was recovered! The sporadic zombies are no longer to be feared, with the cooperation of the courageous militia, led by the young people's squad leaders, the Han soldiers follow up, and gradually clean up these zombies, and finally, the battle is carried out until one o'clock in the afternoon, and the whole village can no longer find any trace of half a zombie, and on the grain field, the militiamen who are so excited that their faces are flushed roared excitedly

"Great Chief! Big Boss! Big Boss! "An army needs a military spirit, and an invincible warrior is the best example of forging a military soul!

The bravery of the leader is the best catalyst for morale! Zhang Jiaming, who turned back into a human form, strung the head of the R-shaped zombie on a sharpened spear shaft, and looked at everyone with high spirits.

"From now on, we humans declare war on these cannibalistic zombies! We must gradually regain the land that belonged to our ancestors and rescue those who are still trapped in various places. Here, on this glorious battlefield, I saw a group of warriors from all races, who fought bravely and achieved ultimate glory! "The militiamen are calm, but the blush on their faces has not subsided, and most of them have long been tired of months on the run, and the days of lack of clothing and food have left them depressed and self-pitying, and now they are following a heroic leader who can win battles, dare to fight tough battles, and charge into battle without frowning, how can they not be excited, how can they not be full of confidence in their future life?

"Swear allegiance to the Great Chief! Swear to follow in the footsteps of the Great Leader! Fight for the Great Boss! Qin Gengsheng pulled out the Miao knife, and the three wolf cubs behind him also stood with their fists, some people started differently, and with the passionate oath sounded, a large group of soldiers struggled to raise the weapons in their hands, and they all began to shout the name they worshipped!

"Great Chief!" Tsk, he really became a bandit leader, smacking this ironic remark to himself, Zhang Jiaming, who was relaxed, wore a leather coat and stood on the temporary dock, looking at the large smoke rising in the middle of the stockade, which was the logistics staff burning the corpses of zombies.

This victory is of great significance, it can't help but overcome the zombie phobia in the crowd, but also boost the morale of the army, and most importantly, a large number of supplies enough for thousands of people are being collected.

The grain in the rice fields has also been disbanded by the militia to collect it, and now both regular and logistics team members are smiling in and out of each house and courtyard, searching for scarce materials that can be used

"Three lights" also

After the thorough search of "Sanguang", it took an afternoon, Zeng Jianguo made the following statistics, just for the winter clothes, there are thousands of pieces of clothing for distribution, blankets for keeping warm quilts can also meet the needs of some people, edible oil and salt are also a lot, there is a department store in the village and 6 dead grocery stores to collect daily necessities are not a few, plus some of the food stored by each family, all kinds of materials are counted nearly 60 tons, if before the end of the world, A big truck can pull all these things away, the inconvenience of land transportation, can only rely on barges with larger transportation volume to shoulder the heavy responsibility, the grain in the field will take at least a week to complete the collection, this time, it is the turn of Zeng Jianguo, who is a civil official, to complain about the lack of manpower!

Because I saw that the militia also got military merit points for fighting, and the use of military merit points can be exchanged for cigarettes, alcohol and even some luxury goods, these things are nothing before the end of the world, and they are readily available, but after the end of the world, they have become a real and sought-after product, with military merit, it not only means that you can exchange it for physical goods to meet your own consumption, but also to those ordinary people to show their superiority, the most important thing is the welfare of soldiers, you can have the privilege to pursue your favorite opposite sex!

Thanks to the blessing of family planning in the Celestial Empire, coupled with the patriarchal nature of local farmers, coupled with the development of medicine--- powerful B-ultrasound technology can let people know whether the fetus in the womb is male or female!

After selective abortion, the situation of more men and fewer women once existed in various villages, many villages, especially in the mountains, the ratio of men and women has been seriously imbalanced, coupled with the trend of more than ten years of work, many young girls choose to marry out of the mountains after going out to work, and are unwilling to marry poor local young men, which is tantamount to adding insult to the situation of the southwest ethnic group with an imbalanced ratio of men and women.

After the apocalypse, the vast majority of survivors who survived were sturdy men, and most of the women with weak physiques became members of the walking dead after the outbreak of the virus, which was equivalent to another gender screening!

Now under Zhang Jiaming's command, there are only 240 female members, but 1,100 male members!

Serious gender imbalance between men and women! Zhang Jiaming, who has been mixed in the government, has long expected the emergence of this situation, so he simply uses military merit as a temptation, policy as an auxiliary, and those who refuse to be a soldier will solve their sex life by themselves!

Serving on the battlefield can be rewarded, but death also comes, and it doesn't matter if you die in battle, the accumulated military merits can be passed on to the deceased's designated person to inherit, blood relative, wife or trusted friend!

All right, this system was discussed with Qin Gengsheng at the beginning of the founding of the army, and it was necessary to eliminate those redundant and weak men through continuous fighting, so that the surviving men could become the best men, and let them marry wives and have children, so as to achieve the purpose of rejuvenating the entire nation.

It took two weeks to collect and transport food and materials, and in the field near Tanjiazhai, there was a new harvest, 150 local survivors, they were all mountain people in the nearby cottages, and they were lucky to escape the disaster, Zhang Jiaming was not polite, they were all taken away, anyway, there will always be a way, it is always enough to save some food, and the recovered Tanjiazhai can also provide a large amount of arable land, as long as it is spring next year, a large number of people can be used to cultivate.

Another surprise is a dozen local ponies and a herd of domestic pigs that have begun to breed, Debao ponies are a very famous population in the southwest, these mountain people like herds are very good woodland helpers, not only to help transport materials, but also to help areas with insufficient animal power to cultivate farmland, in some steep areas, they are in the plains of those tall partners can not reach the high-altitude areas, carrying heavy loads almost all rely on these mountain elves, now, look at this group of giant horses that have mutated, Everyone calls it, even the world-famous Alabama or British thoroughbred horses are small in these former pony herds, one meter 7 shoulder height, thick mane, strong and powerful limbs, all show the people around these horses that have initially had a wild solid side, run fast as the wind, stop extremely fast and firm, the spirituality of the rapid turn makes all those who see it more admirable, Zhang Jiaming made a decision at the moment, all requisitioned for military horses, and formed a mountain horse communication class, Select a group of clever and loyal meritorious soldiers to immediately conduct riding training!

A group of soldiers who rushed to hear the news were all in a hurry, all of them screaming and scrambling to sign up as cavalry, who wouldn't want to, just riding that high-headed horse is a symbol of glory, and they can directly obey the orders of the big leader they respect, and they can be ordered to be on the side at any time, which is equivalent to entering the same status as the descendant of the big chief!

Smiling, he didn't look at the soldiers who were snatching their heads there. Zhang Jiaming went to check the large herd of mutant pigs that were caught, the number was not much, more than 40 pigs that had more than doubled in size were now driven to the rebuilt large fence, just humming and grabbing the vegetable sticks that people threw to them to eat, looking at these guys, Zhang Jiaming was happy, now, meat and cooking oil are still worried, didn't there be a braggathing propaganda in the past, pigs are bigger than elephants, and the whole company is enough to kill one to eat until next year, no, the size of mutant pigs has not caught up with elephants, Killing one and a half heads can also make everyone share some broth to drink, and ordered the kitchen to slaughter 5 big pigs to reward the meritorious soldiers, Zhang Jiaming immediately had to do something extremely reluctant.

On the temporary school field, the 200 new militiamen and the original more than 200 veterans who had experienced the baptism of the battlefield lined up in a neat queue, although it was already early winter, and the cold mountain wind blew the faces of the militiamen, but no one dared to whisper half a word, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

In front of the school field, there are two people who are kneeling and are tied up by five flowers, no need to ask, it is those two deserters! Qin Gengsheng has now been officially appointed as the commander of the militia battalion and the head of the regimental training, and now he is standing on the spot with an iron face, and four fully armed veterans are standing behind him, all equipped with the guns that Zhang Jiaming got from the public security, three Type 79 submachine guns, and a 64 pistol have become the equipment of Qin Gengsheng's guard class, these are the familiar cousins he brought, and now they have become his most loyal followers and supporters.

After waiting for Zhang Jiaming to also arrive, Qin Gengsheng asked him if he could start, and Zhang Jiaming was not verbose, waving his hand to signal that it would be carried out immediately!

Clearing his throat, the new regiment commander said: "Among you, there are new militiamen who have not experienced that battle, and it is not your fault!" It's your loss! But it doesn't matter, soon, you will be integrated into our army, obey my orders, and follow the command of the Great Chief! We will be invincible! Powerfully clenched fists, waving, a kind of veteran followed with a fist raised, roaring loudly

"Invincible! Invincible! Although the recruits didn't keep up with the beat, they also shouted sparsely, and their momentum was much worse than that of the veterans, after all, the gap was there, and the recruits who were still clean in their hands were comparable to the veterans who had killed zombies.

Let the soldiers shout for a while, Qin Gengsheng bowed slightly to Zhang Jiaming, then turned to the militia group, pressed his hands, and signaled the soldiers to stop shouting,

"Before we fought bravely, I issued five military orders! For veterans, they have seen the harshness of military orders! Now it's time for you recruits to join, and I should let you know that our troops are strict in governing the army! Wei Xiancai, out of the ranks, read out the military law! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" Wei Xiancai has just become Chinese, after the last battle, the number of enemies killed by this guy is the sum of more than a dozen people, plus a wave of admiration for Zhang Jiaming, but also mixed with the position of recruit company commander, as his thick voice read out the five killing orders, the recruits and eggs naturally gasped collectively.

"Pull out those two cowards who were afraid of the enemy like tigers in front of the battle, escaped from the battle, and violated military discipline!" The four Zhuang soldiers dragged the two deserters who were already dead to the high platform in front of everyone, so that everyone could clearly see their lost and depressed appearances!

"I'm here to promise our Great Chief! If Qin Gengsheng is greedy for life and afraid of death, and dares to turn around and run away in front of any of my brothers, or before the last brother evacuates, I will ask my brothers to tie me up with their own hands and hand me over to the big leader to deal with! After speaking, Qin Gengsheng faced Zhang Jiaming again, bowed down on one knee, Zhang Jiaming also helped him up with a serious face, and after doubling his fear to show trust, he turned to the militia group,

"I, Zhang, raised troops, not for anything else, just to save the trapped people in the world, Zhang swore in front of all the brothers that he dared to serve the people of Zhang, he must have his place in the Dragon Pavilion! Even if he is a soldier with the smallest rank, he is also the best brother of my Zhang! Hearing this, the breathing of the militia couldn't help but intensify, originally there were some people who didn't believe in such a good thing as joining Zhang Jiaming's lineage, so they wanted to get that kind of magical transformation ability?

Because that kind of ability that is almost like a god and monster is the most respected among the militia, especially among the young people, first there is Daddy Qin

The myth of "Mao Ato" is bewitched, and now most of them have witnessed that powerful force, and the lure of reality is even more in front of him--- become the brother of the big leader, serve him, and he can also enter his field of vision as his descendant!

Those who are promoted to become rich, the day of soaring prosperity is not far away, just watching the big leader lead everyone to achieve zero deaths is enough to prove the truth of the big leader's words!

With such a leader, what more could a husband ask for?

"Swear allegiance to the Great Chief!" This time, no one needed to start, and the militia roared hoarsely, with red eyes and thick necks!

Seeing that his lure had an effect, Zhang Jiaming changed his words,

"In the face of the enemy, if he is not a warrior and he wants to live, we allow him to escape because he is not a warrior! But what do you think if your comrades-in-arms abandon you and the glory of being a warrior when the enemy is attacking? His escape left an irreparable hole in everyone's defensive front! His cowardice made the formation that everyone maintained weak! He's going to kill a brother! They say, what are we going to do with them! ”

"Kill him, crush the bones and scatter ashes!" A storm of anger suddenly set off in the underground, and all kinds of foul language erupted again, and those cruel ideas also made Zhang Jiaming a little creepy!

For example, the one over there shouted

"Light the sky lantern! Light the sky lantern! "Damn, this guy is really vicious, more creative than his own revenge on Wu Tianmiao!

The other side shouted,

"Dip the pig cage dip the pig cage!" Well, that's a trick used to deal with dog men and women, and it's a bit nondescript to use here!

The last loud voice shouted: "Chop off the head to show the public, hang the gate and let it go, to set an example!" This kind of shouting is obviously shouted by an intellectual, how to say that old saying, the heart of the literati is the most vicious!

"Okay, just behead the public! Who dares to do the same thing again in the future! After announcing the results of the execution, Qin Gengsheng turned out that Zhang Jiaming handed over a large guillotine, which is used in the mountainous area for pig forage, one meter 2 long, 17 centimeters wide, after the tempering of others, the cold light flashed, and asked Zhang Jiaming for instructions again, and after getting the latter's approval, Qin Gengsheng took a few steps to the two death row prisoners!

The knife fell, and the two heads fell, and then they were picked up by a long bamboo pole and showed it to the whole army!

After the re-emphasis of military discipline and the rectification of new recruits, Zhang Jiaming's status and prestige have been consolidated again, and this emerging team has also been officially named - the wolf battalion, one is to use the mighty image of the big leader as a totem of the army's confidence, and the other is to hope that the troops can fight bravely like wolves!

The military flag is also sewn out, a wolf's head flag waving in the wind, but the painting style on it is really rough, and many logistics girls say that this is a baboon!

provoked the company commander Wei Xiancai of the first company of the wolf battalion to be resentful, that wolf head was designed by him! The commander of the second company is a medium-sized strong man, named Xie Hui, a Dong person, usually does not like to talk, people are very calm, it is said that he is also a distant relative of Qin Dad, he plays a good knife skill, he is also one of Zhang Jiaming's loyal supporters, when he was in Miaojialing, he asked Qin Lao Dad for a recommendation, but Zhang Jiaming went out and did not return, until recently he had a chance to get ahead, Zhang Jiaming also cherishes talents, saw that his combat exploits are on par with Wei Xiancai, and he was also promoted to be a company commander, with 150 people, Heyi Company is the main combat company, and the third company is personally commanded by Qin Gengsheng, which belongs to the recruit company, with the largest number of people, 200 people!

Counting the strength of the troops, Zhang Jiaming already has more than 500 people, and the other half of the population will be responsible for their logistics, this is a manifestation of the expansion of military strength, but also there is no way at present, the transportation of soldiers and materials idle all by waterway to complete, to recover the surrounding villages, to establish a stable rear base requires a lot of manpower, as long as enough survivors are collected, and then they are placed well, and transformed into productive forces, then their logistics will be much looser, at least not like now, half of the soldiers, half of the people.

At the beginning of December, the wolf battalion completed the reorganization and training, and left Tanjiazhai by boat together, returned to Zhuzi Village, and after coordination, left a company of militia and 300 people to maintain the operation of the local area, and reminded them to pay attention to the nearby scattered villagers, Zhang Jiaming also left with confidence.

As soon as he returned to Bamboo Village, Zhang Jiaming was treated like a hero, and Father Qin was even more overjoyed, his godgrandson won the battle outside, just to add glory to his face, can he not be happy?

On the contrary, Zhang Jiaming, the military leader, was embarrassed, and in front of everyone, he praised Qin Gengsheng, who could fight with soldiers, and made this simple soldier blush.

"Today, I have a great event to tell you, come, bring it over to show you!" Daddy Qin beckoned a few good guys behind him, and in the sound of a few strong men, a wooden shelf covered with a red cloth was carried over,

"Godgrandpa, what kind of medicine did you buy in this gourd?" Zhang Jiaming was confused, and followed everyone around this strange thing,

"Look at it." The old man pinned his belt, straightened his turban, and separated everyone, and in the exclamations of others, the old man climbed to the top of the shelf with a few quick strokes, and pulled it casually!

A newly-made cowhide drum is on display in front of everyone!

"Daddy, are you going to show me the Great General Drum?" Zhang Jiaming guessed,

"The young people of the Miao Jialing generation have relied on drumming to communicate for thousands of years! Boys! This set of drumming has been passed on to me, and few people know about it! But the young people in the mountains all know! Drumming and communication is the time to gather wolf soldiers to fight against mountain bandits! As long as this drum sound is heard, the young people of the four towns and villages will be armed and go to the national disaster together! The rare serious admonition of the old man made everyone's faces become solemn, and many young people in residential areas gathered over, and the crowds in the fields and dock areas all came to pay attention to this historic and important moment!

The old man slowly raised his arm, at this moment, his curved hunchback no longer seemed to be ugly, and the whole person became extremely tall in the eyes of everyone, the drumstick was made of the leg bones of the mutated cow, which was just right in the old man's hand, and Daddy Qin swung it hard,

"Boom! ~~" A dull drum sounded, shocking everyone's minds, and then, there was another drum sound, under the skillful and rhythmic beating of the old man, the drum sometimes became dense, sometimes monotonous and long, one after another, so that everyone's mood drifted with the sound of the drum, the feelings of the eternal pioneers, under the provocation of the old man, more and more high!

The hearts of all the people have become extremely heavy, and the heroic emotions of opening up the world and fighting with nature in the flood and wilderness arise spontaneously!

Suddenly, the drumming stopped, and the old man lowered his hand, and his eyes looked into the distance.

"Whew!" The old man took the lead and shouted loudly, responding to the old man's head, and thousands of people shouted loudly at the same time

"Hoo !!" After listening quietly for a while, the old man seemed to be in disbelief, he suddenly dropped the drumstick, knelt down on the edge of the drum, covered his face sadly, and the people below were afraid that the old man would be too sad, and hurriedly shouted his name.

Who knows, a drum beat through! The sound of the drum is clearly not from his side, and it cannot be the echo of the mountain, but the sound of a real drum beat!

As the drums continued, the nearby mountains and the neighboring countryside all came from different directions one after another!

The response from 10,000 years ago, as always! It's as unswerving as love! Daddy was so excited that his face was red, snatched the drumstick on the side, and beat the drum again, and the nearby drum beat also followed the drum beat of the old man to agitate, this exciting drum beat lasted for a whole hour before it stopped, and Dad was so tired that he was as tired as he was fished out of the water, at this time, everyone found out that Daddy Qin was already an old man who was approaching his seventies, and hurriedly put Daddy on the leopard skin bed to rest, Zhang Jiaming immediately ordered the kitchen to get a big bowl of pig blood soup, come, took out the ginseng leaves, and this time, the stingy Zhang Jiaming was also willing to give up his blood, put a whole large leaf, and let the father take it with the soup.

But after a while, the old man slowly woke up, and in the eyes of everyone's expectation and surprise, Daddy Qin's first sentence made everyone ecstatic!

"God bless, ancestors bless, the people in our region still have some vitality!"
