"Su Zhuo is out of the ranks." In a large conference room on the second basement floor, Zhao Yunyan on the rostrum shouted.

Su Zhuo stood out from the row of transformers and saluted. Zhao Yunyan said: "According to your recent performance, the base will award you the rank of lieutenant!" ”

Zheng Jun, who was standing behind Zhao Yunyan, stepped forward and put on Su Zhuo's epaulettes of the rank of lieutenant, a thin golden bar and two star emblems embellished on it. Zheng Jun whispered: "From today onwards, you are really no longer a child." ”

Su Zhuo smiled: "It's been a long time coming. ”

Eleven people received military ranks with him, and ten more were promoted to military ranks. According to Lin Shan, several major countries have now developed a method of measuring military merits, which determines the military merits of each person based on factors such as killing insects, saving humans, completing other tasks, and so on. The global harmonization of measurement standards also means that the military ranks obtained will be valid worldwide.

Zhao Yunyan entered the role quickly, she entered the role after reading the latest details of the Yuhang underground base for a day, and the issuance of military ranks was one of the things that she ranked first, because this kind of thing is the easiest to buy people's hearts. And she obviously knows a lot about these people, and when she confers titles, she can sometimes say something to the reformers like an old friend.

followed by speeches by Zhao Yunyan and Zheng Jun, and when Zheng Jun's speech ended, he stepped off the stage. Zhao Yunyan said: "Although you have now been officially awarded the title and become a true reformer, each of you still has shortcomings. ”

She looked at Su Zhuo, "Just like you, Su Zhuo, you are the one with the highest rank promotion among this group of people who have received the title, because you have performed so well in the past few days that even the fifth-level blue worm is hated by you." However, this does not mean anything. ”

Su Zhuo's expression was serious, knowing that he had to listen at such a time, and he couldn't say anything. Before coming, Lin Shan told him a lot about these rules. For the new garrison commander, they only know from the battle scenes on the surveillance video distributed in Yuhang, so that everyone knows that this female major general does not let the women shave their eyebrows, and the rest, the people here do not know anything, so they are careful everywhere, so as not to anger the garrison commander.

Zhao Yunyan glanced at the others, and she said, "Very good, I see disapproval in your eyes." You know how good this teammate of yours is, but I don't know if you've watched his recent combat videos. ”

"I've seen it! Commander! A young Indian lad came out on the line, "He's better than all of us!" ”

"Yes, I don't deny that." Zhao Yunyan nodded. Hearing this, even Su Zhuo was curious, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Yunyan was selling in his gourd.

"However, if you really look closely at his battle video, you will find that although this boy has always been used as a sniper, his actual sniper level is sorry, and he can achieve such impressive results completely by his ability." He looked at Lin Shan, as one of the commanders of the Transformer Squadron, several captains and vice-captains were also present. "Vice Captain Lin Shan, I heard that you had trained Su Zhuo professionally, and that you were a famous sniper, even before you became a reformer. But after seeing Su Zhuo's combat video, I doubt the so-called professionalism of your training for him. ”

Su Zhuo couldn't help but stand up and say: "Commander, I need to explain, if it weren't for Deputy Captain Lin Shan's training on me, I would definitely not have the performance later, it is through his training that I have the ability to kill a blue worm." ”

Zhao Yunyan shook her head, "Soldier, you obviously haven't realized that you are a soldier now, and you have to shout a report when you see your superiors talking, do you know?" ”

Su Zhuo was helpless, "Report." ”

Zhao Yunyan said: "I think Deputy Captain Lin Shan knows if what I said is right, from today on, except for the mission period, you will spend half a day every day following Vice Captain Lin Shan to learn how to be a real sniper." Remember, no matter how powerful a Transformer is, sometimes it may not be as reliable as your own abilities. ”

After that, she pointed out the shortcomings of several other team members and expressed her opinions, two of which needed to be trained again, just like Su Zhuo. Su Zhuo was still a little dissatisfied with her at first, she could say herself, but how could she say Lin Shan? But later, when Zhao Yunyan's muzzle was not pointed at him, he gradually realized that everything Zhao Yunyan said was reasonable, but it was a little difficult for everyone to accept because it was too straightforward.

Then this time the award ceremony was over, everyone dispersed, and Zhao Yunyan left a few captains.

"I've seen records that there are still several human hiding settlements in Yuhang, and there are also some places where the Zerg have kept humans in captivity, why don't you rescue them?"

"The base is overcrowded." Zheng Jun said, "There are now 45,000 people in the Yuhang underground base, far exceeding the upper limit of 10,000. If the refugees were to be admitted, the base's reserves would be less than 50 years. No one knew when this war would end, so we discussed it and had to let it go. ”

"Ridiculous decision." Zhao Yunyan sneered, "Do you know what is most important in the last days?" It's not the amount of energy resources reserves, but people, how many transformers can the Yuhang scientific research base produce every day? 10 pcs. 45,000 people will be transformed into transformers in just a dozen years, and think about what a powerful force it will be at that time. At that time, you will understand how stupid your decision was, because at that time, you will find it difficult to find refugees as cheap and ubiquitous as they are today. ”

"This ......" Zheng Jun hesitated.

"Recently, the mission has been adjusted to tilt in the direction of saving refugees. If there is not enough space to expand, the underground passage is not dug so much, and several sub-bases can be considered. ”

After this incident, Zhao Yunyan discussed a few more things with Zheng Jun and the others, and then returned to the residential area, where the garrison commander had a separate room, which was also located in the 140 rooms of the remodeler. When she reached the door of her room, she found that there was a person already waiting there.

"Commander!" That person saluted Zhao Yunyan, Zhao Yunyan's brows furrowed, she knew that this person, named Lu Yuan, had a bad reputation in the Transformer Squadron, and she had never paid too much attention to this person, because she knew that such a person had no cultivation value.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"May I ask if General Lu Zhenhua sent you?" Lu Yuan showed a look of hope.

"Lu Zhenhua?" Zhao Yunyan asked, "How did you know him?" ”

Lu Yuan had a bad feeling in his heart, and he said, "But, but didn't he send you here?" ”、

"Soldier, please don't waste my time." Zhao Yunyan finally lost the interest in continuing to speak, and said with an unkind expression.

With that, she opened the door and stepped inside.

"Damn, how can this be?" Lu Yuan was a little stunned, he hurriedly returned to his room, Lu Yun was watching the latest news.

"It turns out that the crystal nucleus above level 5 has its own will, and you must be careful when you encounter it in the future." Lu Yun said without looking back.

Lu Yuan couldn't listen to what his brother was talking about at all, he said, "No, I have to call Lu Zhenhua again." He did as he said and dialed the number from the last time, but soon there was a sound of a disconnected line.

"Hung up." Lu Yun glanced at his brother and showed a mocking look, "You don't have to dig out your mind to do such useless things anymore, it's the most serious thing to work hard to improve yourself." ”

"I'm not reconciled, I'm a veteran of the squadron, why am I still just a little captain? Look at Zheng Jun, look at Lin Shan, they all look like dogs, what about me? I'm still a lieutenant! ”

"Find the reason in yourself." Lu Yundao stood up, "I have to go to sleep and go to the bar at night." ”

Lu Yuan sat alone in the living room, he was immersed in thinking, and after a while, he slowly raised his head and said with a cold expression: "I don't believe it, these high-level people are just monolithic." ”

Su Zhuo returned to the living area, and when he came out of the elevator, he saw Sierra Baiyuan carrying a large bag of things and walking out of another elevator.

"Su Zhuo, you came back just in time." "There's a small memorial service in the evening, don't go anywhere else," Serra said. ”

This memorial service had been mentioned before, and Su Zhuo was not surprised, he nodded, and then walked towards the residential area with the two of them, and met Dr. Li Cheng on the way, Li Cheng pulled Su Zhuo aside and asked, "I heard that you have derived a second ability?" ”

Su Zhuo nodded, he also knew that it was not strange to have two abilities, in fact, many people were born as multi-ability transformers, but some of them were strong and some were weak, and the strongest ability would suppress other abilities.

"Lightcontroller abilities." Su Zhuo said.

"So when are you free to visit my lab?" Li Cheng said.

Su Zhuo couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, he seemed to be a guinea pig now, but he still agreed, just take a few steps, and it didn't hurt to check his body more. Li Cheng said: "I still have some things to go first, call me when you go." ”

Back in the residential area, several captains have not come back, Su Zhuo ran to the room to surf the Internet, the memorial service will not start until the evening, and the time can be used to look on the Internet at this time.

On the Internet, one of the most popular things recently is the blue worm crystal nucleus turmoil in Yuhang base, and the fact that the crystal nucleus has its own will makes people unstoppable. Fortunately, the willpower of the low-level crystal nucleus is extremely low, otherwise now, I am afraid that half of the transformers will be controlled by the Zerg.

However, now, taking the crystal nucleus directly is already a recommended forbidden behavior, even if it is a low-level crystal nucleus, although the willpower attached to it is very weak, but if the crystal nucleus takes too much, the accumulation of crystal nucleus willpower should not be underestimated.

Recently, it was a thing that shocked the whole world, a city in Africa with 50,000 garrisons and more than 3,000 reformers, and was captured by the concentrated forces of the Zerg. Su Zhuo saw that on that video, at least hundreds of blue worms were lined up on one side of the city, shooting blue light flames together, while the human side mobilized all the light controllers in the city, but they could only resist more than half of the blue light flame attacks. In the end, even with the use of powerful nuclear bombs and the killing of more than 10 blue worms, this thousand-year-old African city was still breached, more than 100,000 people were killed, and hundreds of thousands of people were divided into hundreds of pieces and kept in captivity.

This incident that happened a few days ago proves that the Zerg is not out of the way to deal with the strong city of humans, and for a while, everyone is in danger, and they are worried that the next target of the Zerg will be aimed at their own city.

But then, a scientific research laboratory in New York, USA, published a paper, "On the Possibility of Continued Attack by Blue Worms", which said that there are currently about 600 blue worms on the earth's surface, of which 200 are juvenile. In addition, there are 400 blue worms entrenched in space. The Zerg only used 100 blue worms to break through a strong human city, and it seems that if they want, when 1000 blue worms are dispatched, they are afraid that there will be no city that can withstand their attack.

But is it like this? The doctor who wrote the paper then gave a negative answer in the article, saying that there is no Zerg more powerful than blue worms on the earth, and blue worms are the deterrent weapons of the Zerg against humans on the earth. Therefore, to lay out the world, although there are many blue worms of 1,000, there are only 200 on average on five continents, and there are only 200 on each continent, of which there are 350 in Asia, and then the average to the country, then each country faces fewer zergs.

This is just to explain a thing that everyone understands, and next, the doctor used some information from the Yuhang scientific research base to explain that the blue worm is not an endless source of energy to launch blue flames, according to the anatomical diagram shared by the Yuhang scientific research base in China, he speculated that a full adult blue worm can fire a total of 20 blue flames. Moreover, the process of replenishing energy is extremely slow, and it takes about 3 days to complete the energy accumulation of a blue flame attack.

He also gave the statistics of the 100 blue worms attacking the city, the blue worms attacked an average of 16 times, and the 100 blue worms lost more than half of their vitality, and only more than 200 light controllers in that city could resist more than 80 light flame attacks at the same time, placed in other big cities with more than 100,000 garrisons, the light controllers far exceeded this number, so the Zerg also needed to dispatch more blue worms. What's more, in that war, including those killed by nuclear bombs, a total of 14 blue worms completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Zerg to wage a high-frequency war against human cities in the short term. After determining the location of 600 Zerg in the world, he predicted that the next Zerg attack should be at least 1 month later, and gave 14 cities that are most likely to be attacked. Su Zhuo noticed that there are three of these cities in China: Fuzhou, Hangzhou and Wuhan. Seeing that Hangzhou was also on it, Su Zhuo couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, if the Zerg really set the target in Hangzhou, then for the next period of time, I am afraid that it will be unstable.

Since the end of the world, the Yuhang underground base has not been under much pressure, although people will die every time they go on a mission, but the existence of this base has not been paid attention to by the Zerg. Among them, there are certainly factors that the various confusing measures of the Yuhang base have been done well, but the most important thing is that Hangzhou, a big city with more than 100,000 garrisons, is on the side, which has attracted the most attention of the Zerg in this area.

If the city of Hangzhou is destroyed, the Zerg will inevitably set their sights on the unstable and unstable Yuhang, at that time, this small underground base with only 2,000 garrisons and only a few hundred transformers will suffer unprecedented pressure and even annihilation.

But he was also thinking, "It's just that it's possible, and it may not be so coincidental that it just happened to target Hangzhou." ”

While browsing the web, Su Zhuo also noticed an incident, but this incident did not attract much attention on the Internet. The incident began when an ordinary citizen in Beijing discovered a human spacecraft on the distant side of Jupiter through a homemade device, and he speculated that the human space force may not have been wiped out, but was just hiding.

For Su Zhuo, whose biological father and uncle had both disappeared in space, this news easily caught his eye, but unfortunately, there was no follow-up to this matter, because no one found those possible warships.

Another hot story is a news released by Dr. Nguyen Sing, together with several scientists from other regions, that humans can actually choose the modifiers they can become. Nowadays, human beings are transformed into modifiers, and crystal nucleus preparations are one of the necessary things, and choosing different crystal nuclei and dealing with them properly can transform the transformed in different directions. However, there are some chances.

For example, the attribute of the black wasp is fire, and it is much easier for a modifier who uses this preparation to transform into a fire controller. Of course, the probability of getting it is 40% at the moment. And the attribute of the white-veined mantis is light, and it is more likely that the modifier who uses this preparation will become a light controller. And due to the impact of the previous Zerg extermination incident, people know that the more light controllers, the better. So now in many places, only the crystal nucleus preparation of the white-veined mantis is used to transform people.

After a long time on the Internet, he finally had some understanding of the current situation, and at the same time he had a lot of sense of crisis in his heart, if Hangzhou was captured, the Yuhang base would be in danger.

The memorial service was held in a large room in the residential area, and the body of only one of the six deceased was brought back, and the deceased who was brought back had lost half of his head. In the last days, it is a great luxury to have a whole corpse dead.

The people of the second squad stood up together, Zhou Miao stood at the front, and people toasted to the spiritual positions of the six people together. There had been objections to arranging Yang Xiao's spiritual position before, but Zhou Miao refused, she said: "When people die, the lights go out, and the past is forgotten." ”

After that, according to the ritual, people go out one by one to worship the dead. People whispered, and a solemn atmosphere hung over the room.

After a round of ceremonies, Zhou Miao came to the stage and said, "I know that everyone here, including me, may appear here in the future. But there is a message for everyone, that is, no matter what, in this last age, try to live. I hope that the living will help the dead to see what will happen after the end times. ”

Lin Shan also went up to speak, "Maybe dying early is also a kind of happiness, because after you die, there will still be people to worship you......" He showed a stunned look, "I really don't know if there will be anyone standing here in a year or ten years, alas......"

There were also ordinary members of the team who stood up and spoke, saying something in a low voice, Su Zhuo noticed that Bai Yuan, who was sitting next to him, stopped talking, and looked at Lin Shan as if he wanted to say something, but many times, he held back.

Su Zhuo touched Bai Yuan's arm, Bai Yuan was startled and turned his head to look over.

"Say whatever you want." He said, "Otherwise, if something happens, there will be no chance in the future." ”

Bai Yuan hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said slowly, "You don't understand." ”
