ACT254: The Establishment's Choice 2

Zeng Yadong currently belongs to the Taiping Island faction, the leader is Yao Jinsong, Song Yao They also saw it back then, Yao Jinsong was still an errand party at that time, he belonged to the military, and his position was higher than Shao Shan, but his actual power was not great. In the following years, the overall structure of the establishment was adjusted, and Yao Jinsong came to power, becoming one of the core authorities, and in several meetings on future planning, Yao Jinsong spoke for the first time, proposing that the center of gravity of the establishment should begin to shift from the sea back to the land.

Yao Jinsong's proposal was not a whim, in fact, the great transfer of the year was originally to preserve strength, not a complete migration, whether it was the people in power or the survivors, their roots are on land, although the sea is peaceful, but after all, it is not a long-term solution. At that time, the resistance of the establishment faction was not only the walking corpse, but also the cloud-shaking RCA, but time has passed, and when the establishment moved to the sea, the RCA has completely disintegrated, including the overseas RCA, which has basically turned into birds and beasts, and cannot turn up any storms.

After a period of buffering, Yao Jinsong felt that the time had come, from soldiers to civilians, had come out of the shadow at the beginning of the catastrophe, although the walking corpse was terrible, but it was not impossible to eliminate, there were several strategic resource reserve bases in the Nansha Islands, and the establishment could start from the coastal cities first, and recapture the land encroached by the walking corpses little by little, so that the fire of mankind could be re-ignited on the land. This is a beautiful expectation, but also a matter of course, the temporary departure is for a long time back, Zeng Yadong feels that Yao Jinsong is right, this is also an important reason why Zeng Yadong said goodbye to the leisurely life and plunged into the whirlpool of the establishment.

However, Yao Jinsong's proposal was strongly opposed by other people in power, which made Zeng Yadong unexpected, including Yao Jinsong, who was full of enthusiasm and was poured cold by his own people, this new leader from Rongma almost couldn't believe his ears, and Yao Jinsong was at a loss in the face of those colleagues who have struggled together from suffering so far.

The opposition believes that Yao Jinsong is too radical, does not consider the overall situation, and is gambling with the future, and even directly accuses Yao Jinsong of being a militant who is not willing to be peaceful, and only wants to soak his military medals with the blood of innocent people.

Yao Jinsong is not good at words, he doesn't understand what went wrong with him, is he going into exile like this? One year and two years can be said to be a buffer, three years and five years can be said to be accumulation, but what about ten or twenty years? There are less than 2,000 people in power from top to bottom, and the population growth has been basically zero for three years, and assuming that the sea resources can keep them alive for ten or twenty years, what will happen after that? They're not walking corpses, they're going to be born, old, sick and die!

It was such a simple question, which was repeatedly discussed by the core of the establishment for a year, and finally completely split internally, forming the current Fiery Cross Reef conservative faction and the Taiping Island radical faction.

It's always embarrassing for a family to be separated, everyone eats the same bowl of rice and shares a lamp, how can it be so easy to separate? What about people? What about resources? Although everyone's purpose is not the same, it is impossible to meet each other because of differences in attitudes, right? Besides, even if one side wants to suppress it with an iron fist, it can't do it.

You have me, I have you, there are less than 2,000 people in total, and when these two factions are completely separated from each other, the daylily will be cold.

It was also at this time that Xiaozhuang unexpectedly returned.

Jimbo's island, which is only a two-day flight from the surface, is self-sufficient, has a steadily growing population, is equipped with water, electricity, and even a large arsenal of weapons.

Yao Jinsong wants to lead everyone back to land, Jinbo's island is naturally the best transit station, as long as the logistics resources are not restricted by the internal conditions of the establishment, Yao Jinsong can completely break away from the establishment, he himself is a soldier, half of the troops who went to sea that year were soldiers he brought out, there are resources, weapons, people, the walking corpses are just a huge number, and they also have hibernation characteristics, as long as he is given time, it is not a fool's dream to return to the land little by little!

Therefore, Xiaozhuang went to sea, intending to find Jimbo to cooperate, but unfortunately he came one step late, Jimbo died, and drastic changes occurred on the island.

But at the same time, Xiao Zhuang unexpectedly learned another bad news: the guy who broke away from the RCA and stood on his own did not disappear with the wind and dust of the years, but became more and more powerful, becoming the primary threat outside the walking corpse.

At this moment, Xiaozhuang had not had time to inform Yao Jinsong of the news, and Zeng Yadong rushed to throw out another blockbuster information.

Fiery Cross Reef conservatives have made contact with overseas authorities, and the two sides are interested in working together to develop the oceans and build a new civilization.

Zeng Yadong translated this official sentence: "The conservatives not only want to give up the land, but also plan to join forces with the overseas establishment to put the future focus on the countless islands in the vast sea." ”

"So, the meeting that's going on right now is just discussing this?" Song Yao was already stunned, they were all outsiders, and they couldn't understand why a simple thing could become so complicated.

"Almost, Lao Yao is also good at learning now, although he can't convince the conservatives, but he wants to try to communicate with the overseas authorities, it's not just us who are the scourge of the walking corpses, he wants to know about the situation overseas." Zeng Yadong is nominally Yao Jinsong's assistant, but in fact she is not from a professional class, she belongs to the wild road, and she has a good relationship with Yao Jinsong in private, but there is no restraint between her words.

Song Yao and Lu Qian looked at each other speechlessly, they have been living on one acre and three points of land for a long time, and this kind of problem that often rises to the national and international level cannot be understood, and they do not want to get involved.

Song Jiu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly chuckled, and exchanged a look with Wu Wentao opposite, and there was a trace of inexplicable meaning in each other's eyes.

"Laughing at what?" Zeng Yadong wondered.

Song Jiu blinked mysteriously and said with a smile: "Let them go to the sea to fish, let's follow Boss Yao." ”

"What do you mean?" Zeng Yadong was not very accustomed to their habit of playing dumb riddles, and looked at Song Yao, but saw that the latter was also confused.

Wu Wentao coughed twice, and said with a straight face: "I want to ask, in addition to developing resources, doing infrastructure, and making breakthroughs in virus research in the past few years?" ”

Zeng Yadong was stunned when he heard this, his eyes looked at Xiao Zhuang and Sun Jiji, and the two of them shook their heads gloomily.

"You didn't tell him?" Zeng Yadong frowned slightly.

Xiao Zhuang's face was sneered, and he said embarrassedly: "We encountered a storm before landing on the island, if their fishing boat hadn't discovered us, we might not have been able to get in touch...... Later, when I heard that something had happened, I forgot about it. ”

"And it doesn't matter." Sun Jiji echoed.

Zeng Yadong sighed and said, "Yes." ”

"How?" Wu Wentao heard a hint of wrongness, and said suspiciously: "No breakthrough? ”

"Breakthrough?" Zeng Yadong showed an extremely weak expression on his face, and said with a wry smile: "The research was stopped two years ago, the walking corpse virus antibody vaccine was completely stranded, the former laboratory and experimental team were also disbanded, and one of the old professors also died of illness last year. ”

"......" everyone was dumbfounded.

Zeng Yadong shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Song Yao, and said, "Do you remember?" Back then, I wanted you and Jiang He to go to the establishment and the RCA headquarters laboratory, but we went to the island first, and at first we were full of confidence and waited for the latest data and information, but there was no news of this wait. Xinxiayang, who stayed on the sea, lost contact, and you and Jiang He were not heard from until Xiaozhuang came back half a year ago, and we knew that Xinxiayang had suffered an air raid on the day of the evacuation. ”

The eyes of Song Jiu and the others drifted to the executor of the air raid, Wu Wentao's face did not change, he rolled his eyes at Song Jiu, skipped this passage directly, and asked: "So the establishment has given up on the research of virus vaccines?" ”

"Hmm." Zeng Yadong nodded and sighed: "I don't want the land, what is the use of the vaccine." ”

"Hmph, there are times when they cry." Song Jiu sneered frequently, several of them are infected with the powdered walking corpse virus, if anyone here wants to make it bad and use blood to infect the island on a large scale, it is conceivable that in the near future, the conservatives of marine development will become the first batch of walking corpses to cross the ocean.

Zeng Yadong glanced at Song Jiu, and somehow, she suddenly had a strange feeling about Song Yao's younger brother, and she couldn't say the specific reason, but she was instinctively uncomfortable. However, Zeng Yadong didn't think much about it, after all, it was the first time they met, and they didn't know each other, since Song Yao and the others both tacitly agreed that this guy was the leader, they must have two brushes. Zeng Yadong comforted himself like this in his heart, but he didn't know that Luo Yu and Song Yao were sweating, and they paid attention to Song Jiu's every move the whole time, for fear that suddenly his temperament would change again.

Wu Wentao was calm, frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Then do you still have the ability to build a laboratory now?" Research resources are included, are any? ”

Song Jiu frowned slightly, he didn't know what Wu Wentao was having, and said that he would hide Huihui for the time being, could it be that the bench was about to be on the trump card before it was hot?

Zeng Yadong only thought that he was concerned about the vaccine issue, and the establishment had stopped research for a long time, and when he heard that the laboratory was a little unfamiliar, he thought about it and said: "The laboratory should be able to be built, the previous equipment is still there, and the personnel are reluctant, so they have to be redeployed." But there is not much hope, three years ago there was still research progress, and now everything is starting from scratch, which is meaningless. ”

Wu Wentao sneered and sighed: "Yes, the establishment faction has been away from the infestation of the walking corpse for three years, but instead of breaking through, they chose to give up. It is no wonder that the establishment faction has fallen to this point today and is entirely to blame. ”

Zeng Yadong's eyes changed, and anyone could hear the sarcasm between Wu Wentao's words, because of Song Yao's affection, Zeng Yadong didn't say anything, and what Wu Wentao said was also the truth.

Xiao Zhuang and Sun Houji were a little unhappy, and snorted: "At least we let more than 1,000 people not have to worry about food and clothing, you look down on the establishment so much, what have you done?" ”

Wu Wentao was amused when he heard this, his face was mocking, he shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't bother to argue with him at all.

Song Yao's face was slightly disgusted, she glared at the two of them, and said to Zeng Yadong: "They are like this, don't care." ”

Zeng Yadong pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "I understand, what he said is right, but it's a pity that our personal strength is too weak and we can't do it." ”

"Huh? Shall I interject? The acne girl suddenly woke up from her free state, blinked her eyes, and asked, "Then do you know that there are new breeds of walking corpses on land now?" ”

Song Yao, Lu Qian, and the cook Jiaqi rolled their eyes, if they changed their gaze to a blade, the acne girl would have already turned into a puddle of fish-flavored shredded meat.

The acne girl was embarrassed, laughed twice, and hurriedly changed the wording: "Living corpse, living corpse." ”

Zeng Yadong and Xiaozhuang looked at each other and wondered: "Living corpse? ”

"Ahem, your news is not an ordinary blockade." Song Jiu couldn't stand it anymore, in just two hours, the establishment showed everyone from the inside out that in addition to chaos, it is backwardness, and backwardness will be beaten, in this case, the conservatives chose to give up the land, but it is also a kind of self-knowledge.

Song Jiu waved his hand, signaled the acne girl to shut up, and said to Zeng Yadong: "You know, there are not only walking corpses on land now, but there are also a lot of living corpses on the land, and they are basically under the command of the old opponents of the establishment faction. In addition, the organization in the Gobi Desert did not give up research because the establishment fled, and not only that, but they also created a new virus. ”

"......" Zeng Yadong was stunned, looked at Song Yao and Lu Qian, and the two girls also nodded gloomily, confirming Song Jiu's words.

Xiao Zhuang and Sun Houji looked at each other and said suspiciously: "How do you know? ”

Song Jiu sneered and said softly, "We have always been neighbors with the walking corpses. ”

The conference room fell into an awkward silence, the air seemed to be withdrawn, and the solemn atmosphere was once again permeated.

Zeng Yadong wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say, if what Song Jiu said was true, then Yao Jinsong's ambition would also face a new test.

After a long time, Zeng Yadong raised his head and muttered, "All these years, do you have any news from Asu?" ”

Wu Wentao's eyes changed slightly, and he remembered the cowhide file bag signed Su Lan.
