Chapter 59: What is the solution to the problem?
From the first day of graduating from the police academy, Liu Yuanzhou has kept a truth in his heart: don't measure or demand others by your own standards. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Everyone has their own view of right and wrong, good and evil, and values, all of which are different. What you think is good, he doesn't necessarily like it, and what he thinks is good, you don't necessarily like it.
Therefore, do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and it is inconvenient for you to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Therefore, even if Liu Yuanzhou has long been prepared to sacrifice himself for the people of Yuanjiang, he never asks others to make selfless contributions.
Therefore, when Liu Yuanzhou saw Yang Xiaoqian again, he was surprised and proud of this child's performance, and he didn't think to ask at all, "Why don't you join the army to fight to defend the people?" "Such a question.
But when Yang Xiaoqian proposed cooperation, Liu Yuanzhou put on a disgusting posture and was aggressive, because he wanted to see Yang Xiaoqian's response.
A person who suddenly gains strength but lacks the mentality of a strong man can easily go astray and degenerate into indulgence in this situation where the surrounding environment is gradually collapsing.
A person who feels angry and loses his mind in the face of difficulties and grievances cannot take the lead in such a situation.
Liu Yuanzhou wanted to know what kind of person Yang Xiaoqian was, so he had this explicit and crude temptation.
If Yang Xiaoqian was still just an immature child, if he was not sophisticated and tactful enough, if he couldn't hear the connotation of the words and guess the true intention, Liu Yuanzhou would not consider the equal cooperation between the two sides, even if there was really an urgent need for manpower now.
When Yang Xiaoqian was angry and retorted, Liu Yuanzhou was slightly disappointed, but he did not give up, but forced him further. When Yang Xiaoqian finally calmed down and thought, Liu Yuanzhou, who had been observing, also showed a relieved smile.
Taking the booklet and bracelet thrown by Yang Xiaoqian, Liu Yuanzhou took them in his hand and looked at them a few times, and then raised his hand to gesture to the command car.
"It's not safe here, so let your people come back to us first." Liu Yuanzhou glanced at the potholed ground that had just experienced the devastation of a major war, and put down his cold mask.
Needless to say, the convoy immediately followed the detachment led by Liu Yuanzhou, bypassing the city center and heading towards the provincial highway. With the escort of tanks, armored vehicles and helicopter gunships, naturally there was no need to be afraid of the safety of the journey, and most of the people in the convoy slept soundly in this short period of time - including Yu Qian, who was injected with a strong tranquilizer after fainting.
"Where is this?" Yang Xiaoqian sat in the big tent reservedly, looking around at the furnishings.
A delicate map hanging on a movable stand attracted Yang Xiaoqian's attention. "Is this a map of Yuanjiang? The military ones are really different from the ones sold outside, can you give me a copy? β
Liu Yuanzhou sat at a table covered with paper, pens and photos, looking at the bracelet in his hand over and over again, ignoring it. After Yang Xiaoqian explained the role of the bracelet, he was also as interested in this novelty that could be copied and studied.
When Yang Xiaoqian asked again, Liu Yuanzhou replied: "This is the front-line command of the corpse operation, referred to as the front finger. You can get a copy of the map if you like, but don't give it away. β
Yang Xiaoqian smiled and asked, "The front-line command of the corpse battle?" Who took the name? β
"Me." Liu Yuanzhou patted the documents on the table and said, "Actually, strictly speaking, Captain Geng and I are not included in the official establishment of the 258th Brigade. It's just that Brigade Commander Zhao can afford it, and he lost so many things, so he asked me to set up a department to solve the problem. I simply chose a name I liked. β
"Well, then I have to call you Commander Liu now." Yang Xiaoqian gave a thumbs up and asked, "Commander Liu, what would you do if I hadn't calmed down and passed your test just now?" Arrest us and force us to be cannon fodder? Or do you want to stabilize me first and then find a way to recruit us to brainwash us? β
Liu Yuanzhou put down the bracelet, shook his head and said, "I will let you go." β
"Why?" Yang Xiaoqian was quite surprised, "Doesn't the army need awakened people?" Or do you look down on the power of the Awakened? β
"How is it possible, tea?" Liu Yuanzhou poured a cup of tea for Yang Xiaoqian with a disposable paper cup as he spoke, and a lot of broken tea leaves flowed into the cup with the light brown tea water very unelegantly.
"Then you said to let us go?" Yang Xiaoqian took the paper cup and took a sip, it was hard to drink, it seemed that Commander Liu's life style was simple.
"What's the point of staying in Cao Ying's heart in Han, if you don't do it, you will bury a mine in the rear. Uncontrollable superpowers like you, who have no crime and are willing to save peopleβwell, the Awakened, as you sayβare better to be free than to be left behind. Liu Yuanzhou saw Yang Xiaoqian's frowning eyebrows after drinking tea, and sighed, "The hospitality is not considerate, forgive me." β
"Commander Liu is polite." Of course, Yang Xiaoqian would not be overjoyed by the quality of a cup of tea, he just read the worrying potential information from Liu Yuanzhou's words, "Is the situation so bad now?" β
Because this is not the first time to recognize Yang Xiaoqian's acumen, Liu Yuanzhou was not surprised at all, and nodded generously and admitted: "It is worse than anyone who does not know thinks." β
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have considered talking to you about cooperation." Liu Yuanzhou began to ask: "Do you know where our problem is?" β
This is the time to start negotiations. Yang Xiaoqian raised his eyelids and sat upright, thought for a while and replied, "The supply is insufficient, and the management is inconvenient. β
Liu Yuanzhou nodded and said, "If it was just an ordinary corpse tide, the 258th Brigade could easily suppress it, but now the problem we are facing is a diversified composite problem." β
"First of all, the troops are insufficient, the logistics supply is insufficient, the ammunition is insufficient, and it is far from enough to annihilate the corpse tide of the entire Yuanjiang with the remaining reserves. There are no munitions factories in the Yuanjiang area to replenish them, and the few ammunition depots and arsenals that are far away from us - even if we count them, there is still a shortage of ammunition. β
Yang Xiaoqian nodded in agreement, after all, when the 258th Brigade entered the city and was stationed, no one thought that the epidemic would turn into a war.
"Secondly, the number of rescue victims is uncontrollable, this is a bottom line that cannot be crossed, and it is impossible for me or Brigade Commander Zhao to turn away the civilians who have been rescued or defected. But the accumulation of too many people has made it a big problem to have drainage and food supply, and some of these people have lost their loved ones, some have lost contact with their families, and they are too grief to go into production for a short time. β
"Many of the departments in the camps are set up on an ad hoc basis, and there are often problems under cross-management. Moreover, the greater the number of people in the refuge camp, the larger the battle line to protect them, and the 258th Brigade, which had lost its satellite, could hardly see all directions, so it could only set up observation posts at fixed points, and dispatch the rapid response team to which side the corpse group came. β
After stopping to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Liu Yuanzhou held up the "Atlas of Mutants" drawn by Yang Xiaoqian, knocked on the table and said, "But you said that you missed a little." Finally, and most troublesome, and most difficult to solve: mutants. They will be our lingering nightmare in the near future, can you tell me why? β
"In the near future?"
Yang Xiaoqian, who has always engraved the eight words in his heart as a proverb without far-term concerns, must have near-term worries, lost his mind slightly, and began to seriously consider this problem that he had ignored.
After looking at the problem from a different angle, Yang Xiaoqian quickly thought of the answer.
"Unlike the hordes of corpses that appear in groups, the mutants are scattered everywhere, and it is difficult to concentrate firepower to remove them at once. Unlike ordinary zombies that appear alone, mutants are powerful and cannot be dealt with by conventional means. Yang Xiaoqian said a general reply in a formal manner, but did not go deeper.
"Yes. Mutants already possess a certain level of intelligence. An infantry squad with conventional weapons to exterminate mutants is to die, and an armored company will scare away mutants who know how to seek advantages and avoid harm, even if they succeed in killing one or two, the gains outweigh the losses, and the back-and-forth supply and logistics maintenance are difficult problems to solve. Liu Yuanzhou sighed, "But we can't let it go." Originally, the 258th Brigade had to deal with various matters in the refuge camp, and the speed of its outward advance was already very slow, and if it was interfered with by mutants, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to regain the whole city. β
"Every day we don't do anything, the situation worsens, and more lives are lost."
"Not to mention that the mutant will further increase its combat power after eating a large amount of human flesh." Yang Xiaoqian made a supplement to Liu Yuanzhou, and guessed Liu Yuanzhou's thoughts in his heart.
"Therefore, I need you." Liu Yuanzhou bluntly put forward the conditions of cooperation, "I need you to form a flexible rapid response team, with the members mainly awakened, supplemented by elite veterans equipped with this kind of bracelet. And your main task is to clear the 258 Brigade of mutants in its path. β
"Just a nearby mutant?" Yang Xiaoqian asked.
"Yes, if something unexpected happens, the troops of the 258 Brigade will also have time to come to the rescue. If you venture into a completely out-of-control epidemic area, no one knows what will happen. Any Awakened or Veteran is a valuable resource that should be cherished, and if the Dome persists for a long time, they will ultimately affect the balance of victory. Speaking of this, Liu Yuanzhou couldn't help asking, "Do you know how long the dome will exist?" β
Yang Xiaoqian shook his head and sighed. "I don't know, and neither does Yu Qian, but one thing is certain: sooner or later, the dome will disappear, and sooner or later we will merge into the outside world again - if the outside world still exists."
"So, when this is over, I'd like to talk to you about another question: what will happen to us Awakened when the dome disappears?" Yang Xiaoqian stared at Liu Yuanzhou's eyes seriously.
"Okay." Liu Yuanzhou's eyes did not fluctuate, and he nodded calmly in agreement.
"Okay, now let's talk about the remuneration and the terms of cooperation."
The two foxes, one big and one small, each showed a sincere and loyal expression in the tent, burying their treacherous thoughts in their hearts.
