Zhang Bei had already received Chen Ning's communication, and led the team to the periphery of the gathering place in advance to wait.

The communicator was specially made by Chen Ning before he left this time, for fear that Bi Nan's sudden attack would make them unable to react.

At present, there are no conditions to build signal towers and satellites, and it is impossible to realize long-distance communication among the public, so we can only use special materials to manufacture a limited number of communicators to give priority to ensuring the information flow of decision-makers.

Even this kind of communication itself consumes a lot of energy, and they are generally fine and cannot be used for small talk.

Chen Ning took the lead, and a group of middle-aged and elderly men in short coats behind him lined up neatly in a line, and a small cart appeared from a distance and slowly approached.

The people brought by Zhang Bei saw the original highly respected experts and professors dressed up, and they all held back laughter and trembled.

This journey is not easy, Chen Ning has to take into account the physical strength of these people, but also is afraid of a different attack, most of them are powerless, and it is a great loss to die one.

It's a great blessing to be able to return safely now, even if it took three days to make the way.

In stark contrast to the officers around him, Zhang Bei's face was always calm, and a cloud of sorrow lingered between his eyebrows.

Chen Ning led the team to arrive, and as soon as he saw Zhang Bei's demeanor, he knew that the situation on the south side of the billet was not good, and his heart sank.

Everyone shook hands and saluted, and the genetic completion potions carried by the professors were also received by the army, escorted and preserved, and everyone dispersed and returned to work.

Zhang Bei took Chen Ning to find Jiang Yihua.

Jiang Yihua felt that he could not live up to the trust of Uncle Fu and Chen Ning, and he had always been close to everything, but he had been more busy and couldn't take time off recently, so Zhang Bei did not tell him the news that Chen Ning was coming, so as not to affect his work.

"My lord, things are not good."

"Tell me about it?" Chen Ning's combat power has increased greatly when he comes back this time, and he has a little confidence in his heart even in the face of Bi Nan.

"The scouts reported that in the past two months, the scope of the spies scattered in the south has been reduced from 100 kilometers to 60 kilometers at the northern end of our gathering place, the laboratory area, and there have even been several cases where our fighters have been found, which makes them more certain about the direction of the search. Meet at close quarters...... I'm afraid it's imminent. ”

"I've blocked the news, and I'm the only one in the gathering place who knows about this matter now, so please give me instructions!"

Chen Ning nodded and didn't speak, he was thinking about how he should fight if he really wanted to fight.

"My lord......" Zhang Bei seemed to stop talking.

Chen Ning turned his head and smiled at him: "Say what you want to say." ”

"I think I know adults, and adults have always worked for the people in the gathering place, not for their own selfish interests, so we may ...... Can it be peacefully merged with Billet South? After all, we are all human, and the aliens in the wild are so powerful......"

Chen Ning nodded thoughtfully, this is the theme of the early stage of the apocalypse, the human race is still weak, there are not many S-rank powerhouses and large gathering places, and it is basically impossible to confront the xenomorphs in the wild.

Even Qinghua had suffered several raid attempts by the non-long-eyed xenomorph when Chen Ning was away, although this was nothing to them, but compared with the situation in the gathering place during the Yunhe period, it was also possible to know the real overall survival situation of human beings in the world at this time.

It is because of the current human beings who attach importance to unity and are accustomed to clinging to the stronger, which is also the fundamental reason for the formation of the so-called gathering place. At this time, the gathering place that has the ability to ensure its own safety and even absorb external humans is basically the prototype of a large gathering place in the middle and late apocalypse.

It is not surprising that Zhang Bei can have such an idea.

"We're not weaker than them, and if we passively merge the past, we won't have a say, and I'm afraid that the system and these technologies that I've worked so hard to build will be manipulated and even ruined by the meat eaters there, and we can't take that risk."

"We ...... Not weaker than them? Zhang Bei was stunned, of course he believed that if there was enough time, whether it was economic or military, Qinghua would be able to beat everyone.

But the problem is that there is no time now. Now the scarcity of Qinghua's population has also led to the same scarcity of soldiers, and Chen Ning is only B+-level, so he can't compete with the A-level ability in Bi Nan......

"I went out and transformed the Qilin Arm, and now it's quite easy to fight an A-level ability." The corners of Chen Ning's mouth curled slightly.

"Ah...... It's great, it's great......" Zhang Bei was overjoyed, unity is very important, but who will unite is more important, if he can, he doesn't want to be subservient.

Now, as long as Chen Ning has the ability to match the opponent's strongest combat power, Zhang Bei is confident that under his own dispatch, the soldiers equipped with Chen Ning's high-tech can at least suppress any enemy on the local battlefield.

Before the end of the world, he was an officer in the army from the National Defense University.

The two of them then fell silent again, each thinking about his own business.

Although Zhang Bei had said capitulationist words before, Chen Ning saw that his happy expression just now did not seem to be fake, and still maintained his trust in him.

Moreover, with the completion of the reform of the Qinghua army system that he explained to Jiang Yihua and imitated the pre-apocalyptic Sanwan adaptation, Chen Ning's instructions could already be directly conveyed to the lowest level of the army, even if Zhang Bei really had two hearts, he was not afraid of what he could do.

"Any other ideas? If we really want to fight this game with Billet South. After a while, Chen Ning took the initiative to ask.

In fact, he already has a prototype in his heart, but he knows that he has nothing to say about scientific research, but leading the troops is a pure layman, of course, he must first ask the opinion of Zhang Bei, who was famous in his previous life, so that he can learn from it and revise it.

"Yes, I've thought about it for a while, and I think we should take the initiative!" Zhangbei cut the railway.

This coincided with Chen Ning's idea, so Chen Ning asked with interest:

"Why take the initiative? How to take the initiative? ”

"The soldiers in our gathering place are all elite, and they are not afraid of them at all, but our population and resources are still too small after all, I heard Mr. Jiang talk about it, we say that there are all kinds of minerals nearby, as well as oil and gas, in fact, the reserves are not rich, and the cost of war is too great, which is our weakness."

"But the more this happens, the more we should take the initiative!"

"They don't know the specific location of the gathering place and the laboratory at this time, if we quickly dispatch troops to cut off all the hands they stretched out, then the combat cycle will be short, and the consumption will not reach an unbearable level, and at the same time, it will also make the other party jealous and dare not act rashly, giving us time for development."

Chen Ning nodded secretly, Zhang Bei is really Zhang Bei, worthy of the name, everything is to the point, even more comprehensive than what he spent a long time thinking about.

"After that, we can develop and annex several other gathering places that have been discovered in the south that the south of the billet cannot reach, and according to the information reported by our scouts, there are more abundant resources in the south of us, so that with our current system and technology, we can achieve rapid development, and it is not difficult to catch up with and surpass the south of the billet in an all-round way!"

The more Zhang Bei spoke, the more excited he became, his spit flew sideways, and his steps became faster and faster.

Chen Ning was satisfied, stopped, and pointed to the gate on his side: "This is the Governing Office, if you want to fight, you need the support of the Jiang God of Wealth inside." ”
