When Zhang Qiru pushed the door open, all the people in the entire conference room stopped, and quickly turned their heads to Zhang Qiru - Zhang Qiru also saw an acquaintance, who was Liu Qing he met a few days ago.

"Uh...... Go ahead! Zhang Qiru felt that he was not very accustomed to this atmosphere, so he said.

"You are Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Qiru, who was assigned by the Los Angeles base to take over the command of the forward base, right?" Said the colonel at the head of the conference room.

"Yes, Colonel." Zhang Qiru also saluted and made a show.

"Please take your seat here, we still have some things for you to decide!" The Colonel pointed to the stool beside him and said.

Zhang Qiru walked over directly, and then sat on the chair. Zhao Yun and Shang Ze followed behind very quietly, because the two were fully armed, but they did not have military ranks, so everyone thought that the two were ordinary soldiers, but they didn't know that in fact, Zhao Yun and Shang Ze were also assigned military ranks by the governor.

"Okay, let's move on!" The colonel said.

"Colonel, there are now more than 2,000 troops stationed at the forward base, and it only takes an hour to evacuate." A lieutenant said.

"Hmm. What about the supplies? The colonel asked.

"We have twenty armored vehicles, ten tanks, twenty-five helicopters of various types, fifty heavy vehicles, and forty cannons of various types......" The lieutenant interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"Don't talk about that, just say we can take anything away!" The colonel said.

"Yes, sir! For the sake of safety, the higher authorities asked us to take away all the main weapons, vehicles and most of the food, leaving only light weapons and a small amount of food! The lieutenant said.

"Are there any other requirements from above?" The insider suddenly asked.

"No more ......" replied the lieutenant after a moment's hesitation.

Zhang Qiru didn't speak again.

"You go on!" The colonel glanced at Zhang Qiru, then at the lieutenant, and said.

"We are asked to leave at least fifty soldiers to protect the ammunition depot, this is a death order." The lieutenant said.

As soon as the lieutenant's voice fell, everyone in the conference room frowned slightly. At this time, people have to be left to guard the ammunition depot, and the people who stay behind are basically equivalent to cannon fodder, because the zombie siege is not a trivial matter, and it is not a problem to surround the city for a month - fifty people stay in the front line base for a month? Face zombies of all types? Just kidding, it's just nine deaths, I don't know why to protect the ammunition depot, although there is a lot of ammunition in the ammunition depot, but there is no need to send someone to guard it, right?

"Did you give the reason above?" The colonel asked.

"Yes, it is said that private armed forces cannot be allowed to occupy ammunition depots and affect social stability!" The lieutenant said.

"Fart! What kind of social stability is there in this world? What nonsense! The colonel said angrily.

There was silence in the conference room.

"You don't have to think about it, the above sent me here to solve this problem! You can take care of the evacuation, and I'll take care of the rest. Zhang Qiru said.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Zhang Qiru, and took the initiative to send him to death, which was the first time they had met.

"After a while, everyone will pass on the order, those who are willing to stay will stay, and those who are not willing to stay will be evacuated, and never forced! I don't want any soldiers to escape, because that would kill the true warriors! Zhang Qiru's tone was very calm, but anyone could hear Zhang Qiru's domineering fearlessness.

"In that case, the matter of protecting the ammunition depot will be handled by Lieutenant Colonel Zhang!" The colonel said.

"I have one more request!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Lieutenant Colonel Zhang said, we will do what we can do!" The colonel said.

"I want you to leave two armored vehicles and enough ammunition, this is my bottom line! Without heavy weapons, the soldiers would be sent to death, and I can't do this kind of thing! Zhang Qiru said.

"Chief, there is a clear request from above......" said the lieutenant.

"I don't care what they say, two armored vehicles must be left, and I will be responsible for what happens!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Yes, Chief!" Zhang Qiru's tone was tough, and the lieutenant was also infected, so he replied immediately.

"Go to his grandmother's superior, lieutenant, and leave two more cannons for Lieutenant Colonel Zhang! Enough ammo! The colonel also said.

The meeting lasted for a while, and many issues were discussed, but Zhang Qiru was not very interested, and he now needed to integrate the troops. Since the orders just now have been conveyed, the soldiers who are willing to stay are already on standby at the door of the office building, and Zhang Qiru will gather the soldiers outside the door after the meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Qiru sent by the Los Angeles base to take over the command!" Zhang Qiru saluted and said.

"I have a lot of respect for everyone's courage, very, very much admiration. Those who are willing to stay at this time are real heroes! As you may all know, the above wants us to leave fifty people, but you can look around, you add up to thirty people, and there are still twenty people short of the death order above! Of course, I don't mind, even if it's just one person left, because it's an impossible battle to win, and our mission is to minimize losses, and nothing else! As for what the order of the superiors, go to him NN! Zhang Qiru shouted.

"Haha......" the soldiers laughed.

"I'm not interested in guarding the ammunition depot, I'm really not interested! I have just arranged for someone to issue an order, and if there are civilians in the surrounding area who are unwilling to leave and want to seek shelter, the base will be open for two hours at 5 p.m. to let civilians in. It is clear that protecting these civilians as much as possible is our only task! Did you all get it? Zhang Qiru said.

"Got it!" The soldiers replied in unison.

"Very good, now you have armored vehicles, heavy machine guns and cannons ready for me, ammunition and everything, you can bring as much as you want, anyway, you don't have to run errands, we will fight with the zombies in the car! Act now! Zhang Qiru said.

The soldiers immediately went to the ammunition depot and garage to sort out their equipment. Half an hour later, two armored vehicles stopped in front of the office building, in addition to four military vehicles with heavy machine guns on their roofs, and various weapons and ammunition were placed on the ground. The soldiers in other positions were all in full swing to evacuate, but the soldiers here stood upright in the square, ready to fight.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the evacuation work had been completed, and now there was no one else in the entire front-line base except for Zhang Qiru and a group of soldiers. Zhang Qiru decided to open the base in advance. There are still many civilians around the frontline base who are unwilling to leave, and there are more than 2,000 people, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, with little combat effectiveness, and even if they are evacuated, they are basically cannon fodder.
