Chapter 42: Promotion
After a while, Lin Hao also assigned some manpower from the garrison of the No. 1 sub-base to help carry the goods, and also transferred 10 large transport vehicles from the main base to take away the rescued refugees and supplies.
"Liu Huan, is there anything going on in the north?" Su Zhuo asked through communication.
"Everything works."
Su Zhuo was strolling through the town at the moment, and after collecting all the crystal nuclei in the Zerg's brains, he began to search for the town himself, although he learned about the town's resources from the officials in that town, he felt that it was necessary to investigate again, and it was not difficult for him now. When his spiritual power was spread, he was able to search for things within a radius of 50 meters, and just by searching half a small town, he found a large amount of resources, including 2 tons of medicine and 200 kg of gold.
After the sky gradually darkened, Qin Sheng, a god-eyed person in the team, took 14 people to change Liu Huan's post, Su Zhuo looked at the last touch of the sunset in the western sky and sank into the western sky, and said, "Everyone eat something and rest, tonight, we may have to stay here for one night." ā
One of the team members weakly asked, "Commander, may I ask why?" The people have been moved, and the supplies have been almost delivered. ā
Su Zhuo didn't reply, and said lightly: "Because the battlefield hasn't been cleaned up yet." I don't want the Zerg to find out afterwards that there was a battle here. ā
"Why is that?" Another member of the team asked curiously.
Su Zhuo turned his head and patiently explained: "The Zerg has not had reinforcements to rush over until now, which proves that they are not aware of what is happening here at all, if we dispose of all the Zerg corpses on this battlefield, then even if the Zerg arrives here in the future, it will be difficult to think of what happened." ā
He turned his head to look at the lush and rising Xiaotang Mountain behind him, "In this way, the existence of the No. 1 underground sub-base will be better concealed." ā
Only then did the team members show a suddenly realized expression, Su Zhuo glanced at the mountains and forests behind him, and his eyes showed a contemplative light, in fact, there was one more thing he didn't say, as early as the end of the battle, he had already submitted a report to the general base, this mountain forest can be completely used to build a secret base to produce energy and food, and it can also be used as ground cover for the No. 1 sub-base, further expanding the role of the No. 1 sub-base.
The sky was completely dark, and a waning moon loomed in the clouds.
The team members went through a lot of intense battles during the day, and soon fell asleep, while Su Zhuo sat on the roof of the central building, looking at the dark sky in the distance in a daze, it had been a long, long time, he had never tried to sit under the sky so peacefully, looking at the world that human beings have lived in for thousands of years.
That cramped and dark underground world, no matter how safe it is, does not belong to human beings.
He clenched his fists, and one day, he would lead his people back to the ground!
Just when he was thinking about it, suddenly his heart moved, and he subconsciously looked at the sky to the north, and in that direction, a silver light flashed and disappeared.
"Huh?" Su Zhuo stood up suddenly, and at the same time, Qin Sheng's voice came from the communicator: "Captain, there is a situation!" Yes, ah! It's a human! ā
Su Zhuo's heart froze, he rose from the ground, threw out the rope and hung it on the roof of the building, quickly descended to the ground, and then launched his speed to sweep into the distance.
Humans, humans capable of flying. He wasn't sure if he was flying with tools or on his own strength, but he was sure that the silver light was flying in a hurry, and there were probably pursuers behind it.
"Everybody's up!" At the same time, he connected to the communication in the monitoring room, "Is there anything going on in the north?" ā
"Everything works." The voice that replied said that they were monitoring an area 10 kilometers north of the town, and that another town 7 kilometers north was also being monitored.
Then there is no large-scale Zerg, Su Zhuo thought to himself, Qin Sheng's location was already clearly visible, at this time, the moon broke free from the dark clouds, projecting a bright moonlight between heaven and earth, he saw Qin Sheng and the other two members of the team there, the two team members were on guard with guns, Qin Sheng squatted on the ground, and when he got a little closer, he found that there was a person lying next to Qin Sheng.
It's the silver light just now. Su Zhuo had such an understanding in his heart, although he was two kilometers away at that time, he keenly grasped the breath of silver light.
"How's he doing?" Su Zhuo asked.
"IāI want to see your commander......" The man who fell to the ground, his armor was in tatters, at least 80% destroyed, and a large amount of blood foamed with blood pouring out of the broken gap in his chest.
"I just, what do you want to say?" Su Zhuo squatted down, removed the wounded's armor, and tightly covered the wound on the wounded man's chest with one hand, "Zhou Miao, bring the healers in the team over!" Hurry up! ā
The injured man's mind was not very clear, he rolled his eyes, spat blood from his mouth, and seemed to use all his strength to say: "Wujiang City is broken, in addition, please warn Commander Li Conglong, the next target of the blue worm is Hangzhou!" ā
After saying this, the man roared and died of anger!
The reformers who were resting in the town also arrived here at this time, and the healer Xu Qian hurried over to heal the wounds of the wounded, and then the second healer of the base after Charles stood up and said, "Quick! Send back to base! Maybe saved! ā
Liu Huan strode out, picked up the injured without saying a word, turned around and ran.
Su Zhuo fell into deep thought on the spot.
The next target of the blue worm is Hangzhou?
I'm really afraid of something. The city of Hangzhou is broken, and the Yuhang underground base will have a hard time surviving, and when the time comes, they will not have a good life.
This must be told to the base right away! He was about to connect to the base's communications, when an alarm suddenly rose in his heart, and he said to the people around him through the whisperer: "Go back to the town!" ā
He swept out at a rapid pace, chasing him north.
"Su Zhuo, where are you going?" Zhou Miao couldn't help but be anxious.
"You stay! They need you! After saying this, Su Zhuo had already turned into a black spot.
He found a demonic flying insect, but he didn't expect this demonic flying insect to be so alert, and as soon as he found so many people, he immediately left.
Su Zhuo didn't have a good impression of the Demonic Flying Worm, this was one of the most difficult Zerg he had come into contact with so far, that is, the Blue Worm was not as difficult to deal with as the Demonic Flying Worm, because the Blue Worm was not as cunning as the Demonic Flying Worm. This demonic flying insect did not rush over but chose to retreat, it must have discovered something, if it was allowed to bring the discovered things back to the Zerg army, the result would definitely not be beneficial to humans.
Just ran a distance, he locked the position of the Demon Pattern Flying Worm, during this time his perceptual ability improved, his physical fitness was also greatly improved, and now, with the help of the battle armor, the speed of running with all his strength is one percent faster than that of the Demon Pattern Flying Worm. What's more, this demonic flying insect doesn't know if it was injured or what's going on, and its speed is not very fast.
He removed the GS41 from his back, and during the Battle of the Passage, the original GS41 was broken in two, and Su Zhuo took another one out of the arsenal.
Raise the gun and aim, but unfortunately, in such a fast run, it is too difficult to shoot accurately, so he put away the GS41 and continued to pursue.
After leaving the town for about 6 kilometers, the demonic flying insect suddenly stopped, turned around and rushed towards Su Zhuo, perhaps seeing Su Zhuo alone, he planned to pack it up and move on.
It's just that this demonic flying insect never expected that its move was exactly what Su Zhuo wanted. Su Zhuo snorted softly, raised GS41 with one hand, and fired a shot, the demonic flying insect flashed quickly, almost passing by the bullet.
"Huh?" Su Zhuo was stunned, his ability has been greatly improved now, this seemingly random shot, in fact, is tantamount to the full force of the previous shot, I didn't expect this demonic flying insect to be so easy to dodge, until this time, Su Zhuo understood that he had encountered a hard stubble.
In the middle of his mind, the Demon Pattern Flying Insect had already pounced, and two sharp front feet were inserted towards Su Zhuo, Su Zhuo also reacted quickly, and suddenly turned around, avoiding the attack, GS41 fired a shot at the abdomen of the Demon Pattern Flying Worm, and the Demon Pattern Flying Insect was in pain, and retreated slightly.
Su Zhuo's pupils shrank suddenly, and although one person and one insect moved quickly, he could clearly see that the Gauss bullet with huge kinetic energy was actually embedded in the body of the demonic flying insect, and the tail end was still outside!
What a physique!
Just when he was stunned, the demonic flying insect had already pounced again, this time, the two forefeet clamped Su Zhuo, and at the same time, it opened its mouthpiece and bit at Su Zhuo's throat. At this moment, Su Zhuo suddenly felt that he had entered a mysterious state, and he clearly knew in his mind what the next few steps of the Demon Pattern Flying Insect would be, so he let out a snort, took a step forward, and smashed his fist towards the location where the Demon Pattern Flying Insect was shot.
The fist erupted with a black light, cutting and burning the injured part of the Demon Pattern Flying Worm, this time the pain was obviously more severe than being shot, and the Demon Pattern Flying Worm hissed miserably and shook off Su Zhuo.
Su Zhuo didn't let it go, pounced again, and condensed a light knife in his hand, the Demon Pattern Flying Insect moved quickly, his movements were not slow, like a shadow, the light knife from the extended wound, inserted into the body of the Demon Pattern Flying Worm, and the smell of burnt water suddenly filled the air.
The Demon Pattern Flying Insect was immediately enraged, it raised its two forelegs and shook Su Zhuo away, but then instead of retreating, it advanced, bullying Su Zhuo. If it was someone else, at this time, it was only afraid that it would be taken advantage of the counterattack that erupted when the Demon Pattern Flying Insect was in danger, however, its opponent at this moment was Su Zhuo, who was becoming more and more sophisticated in the realm of perceptual ability. Su Zhuo easily dodged, avoiding the Demonic Flying Worm, and at the same time, the second light knife also plunged into the Demonic Flying Worm's body.
The demonic flying insects hissed and roared, and began to circle around Su Zhuo, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
Su Zhuo didn't give the Demon Pattern Flying Insect a chance to find a flaw, raised GS41, and fired a shot at the Demon Pattern Flying Worm, the Demon Pattern Flying Insect dodged, dodged, and at the same time took the opportunity to pounce towards Su Zhuo, but Su Zhuo sneered and said: "No brains is no brains, this bullet is really for you." ā
A high-explosive bomb accurately hit the wound the size of a bowl of the Demon Pattern Flying Worm, the bullet exploded in the wound, and the large green blood splattered out, and the Demon Pattern Flying Insect was crooked, only then did it know that the opponent was not something it could deal with, turned around, and fled without a life.
Not dead yet? Su Zhuo flashed and stopped in front of the Demon Pattern Flying Worm, and the second high-explosive bomb was sent into the Demon Pattern Flying Worm's body.
There was a muffled sound, and this time there was even more disgusting flesh and blood splashed out, and the demonic flying insect finally couldn't support it, staggered, and fell to the ground.
"What a tenacious vitality!" He sighed in his heart.
Even after such a severe injury, the Demon Pattern Flying Insect was only incapacitated, its head was still struggling, and its two dark green eyes looked at Su Zhuo angrily.
Su Zhuo walked to the side of the Demon Pattern Flying Worm, looked at it expressionlessly, then raised GS41 and shot it three times in the head, and all of them hit the same part before sending the bullet into the Demon Pattern Flying Worm's brain.
"This kind of demonic flying insect is several times stronger than the one I encountered before!" He exclaimed in his heart, and from the beginning, the speed of this Demon Pattern Flying Insect was not as fast as that of ordinary Demon Pattern Flying Worms, and it should have suffered a lot of injuries, which made him even more frightened.
He carried the corpse of the demonic flying insect and ran quickly in the direction of the town.
Because of this sudden incident, the rest was canceled, and everyone transferred supplies overnight to clean up the battlefield, and it was not until dawn that the corpses of the Zerg in the entire town, as well as the blood of the Zerg, were cleaned up.
After that, Su Zhuo announced the evacuation.
After there are no people in the town, it is not easy for the Zerg to come here, and it will be safer to build a secret base on Xiaotang Mountain in the future.
The first actual combat assessment of the rookie formation has officially ended.
"Su Zhuo, your performance is remarkable, and overall it is good, but in the end, why did you have to track down the Zerg alone?" Zhao Yunyan looked at the results of the battle and said slowly.
This was a small post-war meeting, attended by Zhao Yunyan, Zheng Jun, Zhu Yuanshan, Lin Shan, and four temporary instructors.
"Because I feel that the demonic flying insect has escaped, and if I don't chase it in time, it is likely to be escaped."
"You think you're very good, and none of your teammates can do it, right?" Zhao Yunyan said lightly, raised her eyes and glanced at Su Zhuo, and asked a strong question.
"General, there are more than 5 demonic flying insects dead in my hands, and I know what to do with them!" Su Zhuo said unhurriedly.
"But if you are introduced into the swarm, not only will the base lose you, but the team you lead will also likely face great danger due to the lack of commanders! You know what! Have you forgotten the half-month commander course that Colonel Zheng Jun gave you? ā
Su Zhuolang said, "I only do what I think is right!" I'll think about it next time, General! ā
Zhao Yunyan's momentum was a little relieved, and she said slowly: "But you have temporarily set this task this time, and your sensitivity and grasp of the fighter are very good, which is very commendable." In addition, despite your flaws in the final performance, no one can deny that it was a perfect operation, not to mention that you are leading a rookie who has an average training time of no more than a month and a half! ā
"The base plans to expand the first squadron, that is, to add a squad to the first squadron, with you as the captain of the major, and the manpower will be drawn from the 60 newcomers, of course, you can also choose from the original three teams, but this requires the consent of the other three captains."
"Major Squad Leader?" Su Zhuo was stunned, this was really something he didn't expect.
"Behave well, Major!"
At the end of the meeting, the four squad leaders walked out of the conference room, and Su Zhuo was still a little stunned, "Why is there an extra squad all of a sudden." ā
"That's fine, you can justifiably not return the 30 extra 60 newcomers." Leng Zhou groaned, but then he muttered: "No, why do I think that in the past half a month, I have been working hard to train newcomers, and I have made a wedding dress for someone?" ā
Su Zhuo smiled and put his hand on Leng Zhou's shoulder, "Brother Leng, don't say that, who is with whom, at most I will give Liu Huan to you." ā
"Please pay attention to your identity, Major." Zhou Miao said coldly on the side at this time, "Liu Huan is a member of the first team, and you have no right to 'give' it to others." ā
"Uh......" Su Zhuo realized that none of his subordinates had yet to be finalized, and he was still a bare-bones commander.
Seeing Su Zhuo's stunned appearance, Nie Ping couldn't help laughing at first, and Leng Zhou also patted Su Zhuo's shoulder, "You said, Liu Huan gave our team?" ā
The four of them gradually walked away, and Su Zhuo said: "But seriously, I hope to draw a few people from the original old team to enrich my team." ā
"This is also easy to discuss, this mission of the No. 1 sub-base was initiated by you, and a large amount of money from the war harvest has been transferred to your account, I bet that you are now the richest of the four of us." Leng Zhou said, "So, the price is negotiable." ā
"Don't bring it like this, it's hard to save some money to marry a daughter-in-law."
"Hmph, daughter-in-law, don't think about it yet."
ā¦ā¦
As soon as Su Zhuo returned to his room, he logged in to his account to check the status of his property, indeed as Leng Zhou said, because the operation was initiated and commanded by him, so in addition to 40% handed over to the base, the remaining 60% will be distributed to the team members and commanders in a certain proportion, this ratio is determined by the commander himself, before Su Zhuo was only a deputy captain, so the ratio set by Zhou Miao is still 4:6, and the commander 4 team members 6.
Even though he was already prepared in his heart, Su Zhuo couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he saw the balance of 13 tons of gold in his account, this number was really amazing. Previously, because he had changed his armor, his account had a deficit of more than 1 ton of gold, that is, he earned 14 tons of gold on this mission.
It's amazing.
Because he hadn't had much rest, he ate some lunch casually, fell asleep, and slept until the next morning, when he woke up, feeling comfortable and refreshed. It was as if since he would automatically condense that strange point of light when he slept, and the longer he slept, the better he felt.
At this moment, the communicator rang, "Su Zhuo, you wake up, come to the conference room for a meeting." ā
