Chapter 18: Squad Formation

A few minutes later, Wei Dabao finally finished describing, and then he saw everyone's strange expressions, especially Bai Yang's eyes that almost wanted to breathe fire.

"What, what's wrong?" Wei Dabao still didn't know why, and his honest and swarthy face revealed a little innocence.

"It's really a straight gut, straighter than Lei Ye." Poplar couldn't bear to look at it directly, and wanted to cry without tears.

"Topol." Liu Yuting's crisp voice came, and Bai Yang shivered when she heard it.

"Thank you." But then, there was no storm as Poplar expected, which made him look at Liu Yuting not far away a little strangely, and found that she had no other changes except for her face being a little crimson.

The three old guys were also a little surprised by her reaction, especially Chief Zhou, who knew Liu Yuting well, and was thinking about when this girl was so good at talking.

Liu Yuting naturally felt the strange gaze of others, and she was smart and clever to know what they were thinking after a little thought, and suddenly said with some shame:

"You old men, you are more hypocritical than a woman like me, can you not waste time on this useless matter?"

After her reminder, everyone's faces instantly turned up.

Since the parties don't mind, Poplar is naturally happy to reveal it, but everyone will not look up and look down in the future, I hope this matter will not cause embarrassment.

"Then in this case, your squad has been officially established, Poplar, you bring your friend over as soon as possible to get acquainted, and determine the name of the squad and include it in the formation of mutants." Chief Yan commanded.

Bai Yang nodded, and decided to notify the Ninth Master when the matter here was completed.

"Let's talk about the current situation with everyone." Chief Yan moved a chair from the side and sat down, and the others followed suit and found chairs to form a circle, using this as a temporary conference room.

"Now the plans are basically going according to plan, and the progress is relatively smooth. Originally, I thought it would be difficult to build the wall, but the enthusiasm of volunteers from all over the world has made this step much faster, and it is expected to be completed before the countdown is over. ”

Poplar had heard of this, and in order to shorten the completion time, local authorities have greatly reduced the defense area where the population is concentrated, and the modules used to build the wall are directly taken from the civilian portable fence that has become popular in recent years.

The wall is 4 meters long and up to 3 meters high, made of new materials with high strength and light weight, and the semi-hollow internal structure is staggered, which further enhances the strength and compression resistance of the wall, and the layout time of a single module is only a few minutes, which greatly accelerates the speed of siege and defense.

"The relocation of people from the periphery of the city into the fortified zone is also under way, and it is expected that the population density in the fortified zone will be unprecedentedly high. In terms of material reserves, several large refrigerated granaries in the defense area have been basically replenished, enough for the existing population to consume for several years. In addition, we will also focus on several important installations outside the defense area, such as power plants and waterworks, to ensure the normal use of water and electricity. ”

In the next hour, Chief Yan continued to explain in detail all the details of the current defense plan to the people present, including the security management of the population in the defense area, the dispersion and deployment of the army throughout the province, and so on.

It was only at this moment that Poplar deeply realized the horror brought by the state apparatus, and once this huge machine was fully operational, it would have an efficiency that ordinary people could hardly imagine, especially with the single-minded support of all the people, it would become twice the result with half the effort.

"But even so, we still have a lot of vacuum areas, especially in some resource-poor areas of the country, the conditions are really limited, even our officials are powerless in such a short period of time, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip." Chief Yan finally concluded, feeling a little heavy.

"It's not that I'm most worried about this." Jiang Lao added, "At present, the scientific research team has not been able to confirm the degree of mutation of mutated organisms after the tipping point, but we have to prepare for the worst, maybe the defense deployment we are doing now is likely to be just a useless exercise." ”

This old man, who usually greets him with a smile, has become a little pessimistic when facing the unknown future at this time.

"I'm afraid of him, I don't care what kind of charm he is, Lao Tzu has a gun and a cannon in his hand." Seeing that Jiang Lao's morale-damaging words came out, Chief Zhou shouted loudly with great unhappiness.

Bai Yang also fell into deep thought because of Jiang Lao's words, according to the words of the human ancestor, human beings are bound to go through a test of life and death, so things will inevitably not be so simple.

Bai Yang also wanted to call the ancestor out and ask him directly, but he had tried countless times for various reasons, and had never received any response.

This made Bai Yang sometimes wonder if the ancestor had already passed away, or if he was entangled in something extremely important.

But no matter what, Jiang Lao's worries are not unreasonable, but they are helpless about it.

"We do our best to do what we need to do, and the rest is up to God's will." Chief Yan said the same idea as Poplar had in his heart.

After that, everyone dispersed first, and before leaving, Chief Yan asked Bai Yang to gather the members of the team and come again tomorrow, and take them to another place at that time, but he did not say where it was.

Poplar went downstairs after saying goodbye to the others, and was about to get into the car arranged for him by Assistant Zhang, when he suddenly heard a scream like piercing the air from behind, as if something was flying towards him quickly.

Instead of looking back immediately, Poplar sensed the speed and trajectory of the flying object with his keen senses.

Just when the unknown object was close at hand, as if it was about to penetrate Poplar's body, Poplar suddenly dodged sideways, and then pinched the tail of the unknown object with lightning in his right hand, grabbing it in his hand.

"This is your mutant identity card." Liu Yuting walked up slowly.

"Don't you have to be gentle in this way, beauty?" Poplar was a little helpless.

"It's as if I got revenge on you, and now we're even."

"Don't, don't talk about it, I want something to happen."

"Get out."

"Okay."

On the car back, Poplar took the identity card and observed it carefully, which read "Mutant Poplar, numbered 2019040001", the first few digits of the number should be the year and region, and the 0001 at the back should be the sequence number, and the style of the brand is no different from that used by the army.

"No. 1, I think I can afford it, but this brand must have been prepared before, but it was inserted by Liu Yuting's girl halfway."

Poplar hung the sign around his neck, thinking in his heart, "The title of mutant is really ugly, let's change it when I find an opportunity in the future." ”

On the way back, Poplar saw a large number of people who were moving into the defense area, and the long line was endless, and although all of them were full of fatigue, no one complained.

Poplar called home again, his parents had been migrating with the army, and when he reconfirmed, he was relieved to learn that they had arrived in the fortified area of the nearby city.

40 minutes later, Bai Yang saw Jiu Ye and the others who had already received a call and were waiting at the school gate, and several people discussed that they would enter the defense area together when Bai Yang returned.

"Brother Bai, you called me and asked me to come over early, is there anything else?" The ninth master still has a hippie smile.

Bai Yang briefly told him about booking the position of the team members for the ninth master today, but he didn't mention his appearance with Liu Yuting, otherwise with the character of the ninth master, he would have to break the casserole and ask the end, it would be annoying.

"Brother Bai, you are really my reborn parents, in the future, Brother Bai's business, your business will be my ninth master's business, as long as Brother Bai says a word, I will ...... the ninth master"

"Gotta get it, stop." Bai Yang stopped the endless Nine Masters, thinking that if the Nine Masters and Wei Dabao were put together, these two would definitely be able to talk for three days and three nights.

"Are you all packed?" Poplar asked, and everyone nodded.

"Are you sure everyone in the family is safe?" Bai Yang continued to ask, and Yu and Lin nodded again, but when Bai Yang looked at the Ninth Master, he spread his hands indifferently and said, "I don't have a family, and now you are my family." ”

Bai Yang could only shake his head, lamenting that there were many family problems for the children of rich families.

However, the ninth master himself was not worried, and Bai Yang naturally did not mean to worry about it, after taking the bag that Yu Lei had sorted out for himself, Bai Yang waved his hand, and took the refuge team to get into the car that sent Bai Yang back, and headed towards the defense center.

Half an hour later, the four were guided into an apartment-style resettlement building and then assigned two rooms.

One room is slightly smaller, Lin Xiaolian lives alone, and the other room is slightly larger, so naturally there are three men left to live together.

"It's good to follow Brother Bai, you can still live in an apartment building that others can't live in, and those people outside are estimated to only live in ordinary dormitories or even bunks." The ninth master said while looking at the exquisite decoration in the house.

"That's entirely because we are mutants, so we are qualified to share a room each, otherwise do you think it's enough for me to brush my face?" Poplar said angrily.

"Yo, that means that the Ninth Master is also a meritorious man, how about Master Lei, isn't it cool to hug your thighs?" The ninth master laughed at Yu Lei.

Yu Lei rolled his eyes, turned on the TV and looked at the news.

"Here are a few important news-in-chiefs."

"At present, according to the incomplete official statistics of various countries, there are about 3.5 million mutated people in the world, of course, this figure has yet to be revised, and experts estimate that there are still a considerable number of mutated people who have not voluntarily declared statistics. Therefore, we hereby call on these compatriots to join in the fight against the great threat facing all mankind and overcome this difficult time together. ”

Bai Yang glanced at the Ninth Master who was lying on the bed and stretching his waist, if this guy hadn't taken the initiative to pull him into the mutant team, it is estimated that he would not have thought about signing up.

However, Bai Yang believes in the Ninth Master's sense of justice, and in the Ninth Master's own words, he is just "used to freedom".
