"Substance X?" Qin Mengxue was bored listening to the communication coming out of the walkie-talkie, and asked Chen Yuan beside him with a wink: "What is substance X?" ”

"It sounds like it's the flesh." Chen Yuan replied. Chen Yuan was not surprised that the military was able to discover the existence of spirit flesh so early. The military has all kinds of powerful artillery, which can easily blow up the body of a zombie, and the spirit meat is so easy to distinguish that anyone who sees such a distinct substance in the corpse will study it more. In the previous life, it seems that the military first discovered the existence of the spirit flesh, but this secret does not seem to be gradually revealed until more than half a year later.

Half an hour later, Chen Yuan's walkie-talkie sounded the voice of some companies: "Report to the battalion commander, the 1st company has completed the task of cleaning up the battlefield." ”

"Report the number of casualties and the amount of substance X collected!" The battalion commander ordered directly.

"Our company lost 9 people in the battle, and there were no wounded!" The company commander's voice seemed very heavy and helpless, and the battle with the zombies rarely left the wounded, either dying on the spot or dying from the virus afterwards. "Collect 319 pieces of Level 1 X Matter (Normal Zombie Spirit Meat) and 1 piece of Level 2 X Matter."

"Report to the battalion commander, the 2 company completed the task. Our company lost 7 casualties in the battle, and there were no wounded. Collect 298 Tier 1 X Matter and 3 Level 2 X Matter. ”

"Report to the battalion commander, the 3rd company completed the task. Our company lost 8 casualties and 1 was slightly wounded in the battle. Collect 826 Tier 1 X Substances, and 1 Level 2 X Substance. ”

"Minor injuries?" The voice of the battalion commander on the intercom was very puzzled, and he asked: "Have you checked it carefully, are there any signs of virus infection?" ”

"No virus infection!"

"Oh!" The battalion commander's tone seemed to be very interested in this matter, because in the past in the battle with zombies, as long as he was injured, he would die, but now there is actually one who is only slightly injured! The battalion commander seems to feel that if this case is well developed, and even if it is possible to promote it throughout the army, then he has made a great contribution. So he immediately asked, "What's the matter, tell me more about how this warrior was only slightly injured under the attack of the zombies!" ”

"Hmm...... In this ......" walkie-talkie, the company commander is a little embarrassed to say.

The battalion commander was anxious: "3rd company commander, what are you!" Hurry up and say, what the hell is going on? ”

The commander of the 3rd company said helplessly: "Battalion commander, this soldier was not injured when he was fighting with zombies, but when he threw a grenade, he accidentally took off his hand, and the grenade was not thrown far, and he was injured by his own grenade!" ”

"Zhao Shiyou, what the hell are you kids! How do you usually train! At this time, you can drop the chain! The battalion commander was immediately furious, and reprimanded fiercely: "After I come back, I will train me to the death, and next time this kind of thing happens, I will personally train you!" ”

Chen Yuan and the others continued to listen, and the casualties and gains of other troops were still being heard on the walkie-talkie.

But the battalion just now collected a total of more than 1,400 pieces of spiritual flesh. It seems that he has gained a lot, and even Chen Yuan is a little envious. However, the casualties seem to be very large, which has already made the hearts of several people who want to go to the Jinling Military Region a little drumming. After all, they have also heard about the situation on the side of the convoy, but only one person has died in ten days! So it seems that it is much safer on the highway than under the highway. "Is it still necessary to go to Jinling?" They think so.

At this time, a company commander asked in the communication: "Battalion commander, you said that X material is such a good thing, why don't we announce it like the people?" If ordinary people can improve their strength like us, will it be much easier to fight this war soon? As long as the strength of our human race is improved as a whole, we won't have to be afraid of these zombies at all in the future! ”

But the battalion commander seemed to be angry, and he nervously yelled: "Shut up! Do you want to kill Lao Tzu! Substance X is top secret, and no one is allowed to discuss the efficacy! Don't you know? Have you forgotten all the rules of secrecy? Besides, these are all things decided by the superiors, and it is your turn to dictate! ”

“……”

When the people who were surrounding the walkie-talkie on this side of the convoy heard this, a chill suddenly rose in their hearts, the conversation just now was already obvious, the military strictly controlled the secrets of the spirit and flesh from ordinary people, that is to say, the ordinary people in the Jinling Military Region had no chance to improve their strength at all, and they didn't even have the power to protect themselves in front of the powerful zombies!

At this time, everyone's eyes looked at Chen Yuan even more eagerly, Chen Yuan didn't hide such an important thing from everyone, and he also distributed the spirit meat to everyone. This is completely different from Jinling's approach.

Those who had planned to defect to the Jinling Military Region after dawn were even more regretful and afraid, regretting that they did not trust Chen Yuan, and were afraid that if they rashly went to Jinling, it was likely that those of them who knew the secrets of the spirit and flesh would be in danger.

In the communication car, Qin Mengxue didn't understand why the Jinling Military Region didn't tell ordinary people the secret of the spirit flesh, she asked Chen Yuan: "Chen Yuan, why don't they speed up the matter of the people's spirit and flesh?" Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to be strong together? Look at me now, I have a lot more strength than before, and I'm not afraid if you let me fight zombies! ”

"You'd better get me these devices honestly!" Affectionately and gently tapped Qin Mengxue's head, Chen Yuan said: "It is understandable that the military wants to keep the matter of spiritual flesh and soul secret. As soon as these things come suddenly, after all, they haven't fully figured it out, and if they eat it casually, they will kill people. Second, this thing is an important strategic material, and the military harvest is not particularly much, and it is estimated that the military plus military families will be almost divided, and a certain amount of reserves and research will be left. There is definitely no way to send it to the people. ”

"Then let them go and hunt zombies for their own soul flesh!" Qin Mengxue still asked suspiciously.

"Let me use an analogy, like in the old days, if the army found that those vicious prisoners had escaped, would they mobilize the masses to arrest the fugitives?" Chen Yuan asked himself: "No, because this is too dangerous, so I will only ask for information." Although the situation is much worse now, after all, it has only just begun, and the thinking of the army has not yet changed. Only when the army later realizes that it is impossible to hold on its own will the masses be mobilized. Only at that time will the news of the spirit flesh slowly come out. ”

"I see! That's a pity, isn't it getting harder and harder to get the spirit flesh later? ”

Chen Yuan nodded, but did not speak. but made everyone respect him more and more.
