An hour later, Zhou Zhiyuan and his party met with the group of soldiers; After everyone returned to the base to rest, the battalion commander of the major gathered all the people to communicate with each other and understand the situation; Introduce several military comrades who broke through with him.

The soldiers who escaped with the battalion commander were from different branches of the army and different units, infantry and artillery of the infantry brigade, combat pilots and machine gunners of the armored brigade, guard platoon commanders of the army aviation, scouts of the mountain division, etc.; Including yesterday's members, there are 25 people in total.

There are 3 officers in total, 1 major and 2 lieutenants; 5 non-commissioned officers, 2 sergeant majors, 2 sergeants, and 1 sergeant; The rest were soldiers.

8 people in the special forces system, 10 people in the infantry brigade, 2 people in the army aviation department, 3 people in the tank brigade, and 2 people in the mountain division

"Oh my god... It's all gunshots, killings, and arsons... Isn't there a logistical one?"

Zhang Hongda said in surprise

All the soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads in unison.

"I am Major Zeng Weizhong, commander of the assault battalion of the Special Operations Brigade, and I have sent out all the communication methods available to the military at present, including satellite calls; Layer by layer, we can only wait to see which leadership will respond."

Battalion Commander Zeng faced the crowd

"In addition, thank you very much for the rescue of five compatriots, and I will try my best to give you the help you want in the future, as long as it does not violate the laws and morals of the country."

Battalion Commander Zeng bowed to Zhou Zhiyuan and his party

"You're so polite, that's what we should do; Now is not the time to be polite, the most important thing is to work together to get through the difficulties."

Zhou Zhiyuan hurriedly shook his hand

"By the way, battalion commander, how did you get surrounded in the cement factory? Do you have any news of the other brothers?"

The non-injured sergeant major in the sniper team asked

"Cao Ming, the people of your anti-terrorist battalion are scattered all over the place, and it is difficult to receive news; We are a rapid reaction force, and after solving the internal corpse mutation brothers, we scattered to rescue other units; I had only a third of my men left, and there was chaos everywhere... So I'm sorry."

Battalion Commander Zeng said to Cao Ming

"Isn't it, two-thirds of the human corpses?"

Xie Dongcheng asked in surprise

"yes... I've killed several of them with my own hands..."

Battalion Commander Zeng sighed

"Even such an elite special forces will lose two-thirds of its men at once, according to this probability; The rate of mutiny is even higher for other classes."

Xie Dongcheng Road

"We don't know, there was chaos at all bases that day; There are not many people who can speak human words and respond to orders."

A soldier of the assault battalion said

Many military bases were in disarray on the day of the disaster, and there was no organized command system; The enemy he faced was the former Pao Ze brothers, who were injured and infected after the slightest hesitation; The disaster snowballed, and it was a situation never before seen in military history; No matter how talented a commander is, he can't calm the chaos of that day in a short time.

"I escaped from the district headquarters that day, and I don't know how many commanders above the battalion level died in the line of duty that day; So be prepared not to wait for orders."

Battalion Commander Zeng said

"As for today, it was Platoon Leader Yao and Team Leader Li who said that they would go to the cement factory together to find resources, but for some reason, the living corpses quickly found them; It didn't take long for us to get caught up when we drove over."

Battalion Commander Zeng said again

"The female volleyball captain, she just has her menstrual period, right?"

Chen Guohao said suddenly

"You... How do you know?"

Yao Platoon Leader's face was flushed

"Because living corpses are unusually sensitive to human blood, they can smell it for many kilometers; If it had been in the clearing, you would have been torn to pieces by the living corpses."

Zhou Zhiyuan said lightly

"We saved you by luring away the living corpses with our own blood"

Liu Jianyu, who was holding his hands, said

Next, Xie Dongcheng interacted with this group of soldiers to have an exchange on the perception, characteristics, and abilities of living corpses, but I didn't expect that there were still people in the army who didn't know that living corpses had the strongest sense of smell, followed by hearing, and weakest vision; It is also unknown that living corpses can track their prey with the organic secretions of humans.

"Sure enough, there are masters in the people, and what you say is very important; I'll report it all truthfully."

Battalion Commander Zeng nodded

There are also examples of changes in many organisms that others have seen, and these abnormal ecological changes are all factors that can affect human survival; The discovery of new species also needs to be reported to the state.

"I don't know how people will live in the future" is a common thought of many people, and then I don't know how many mutated species have appeared; I don't know if it will harm humans.

Everyone had escaped from their respective bases or stations, and they did not know each other in the first place; Now if you want to live together, you always have to get to know each other, Zhou Zhiyuan and his party introduced their experiences, and other soldiers also told about their experiences for a while; Everyone is equally worried about their families and open about their future.

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders... But where is the order?"

Medical officer Li Jiahe muttered to himself

"Sir, what is the goal and direction of our next mission?"

Yao Li, the leader of the women's volleyball team, asked blankly

"Our current task is to wait for instructions from our superiors or the state to rescue the brothers and the people while recovering resources; Of course, the most important thing is to stay alive."

Battalion Commander Zeng said indifferently

Zhou Zhiyuan and his entourage glanced at each other and remembered those people in the mall; I don't know what their situation is now, in this era of moral decay, only strength is the only condition that can protect themselves.

The image of the last call with their parents before the disaster struck came to the hearts of the five people again, although they had more survival advantages and strength than ordinary people; But in the soul, you still need a strong support, that is, relatives.

"Do any of you know the garrisons around these places?"

Zhou Zhiyuan opened their color-printed offline map and asked

"In this county, I know that the transport battalion of another brigade has picked up some of the old folks; All of them were sent to the provincial grain depot."

A sergeant of the Infantry Brigade pointed at Liu Jianyu's hometown

"We really can't receive the territory of the navy, let alone the outer islands"

Another soldier from the Mechanized Infantry Brigade pointed to the dots on the other seashores

"We have a base near the top of that mountain, and we will definitely meet the people."

The scouts of the Mountain Division pointed to Chen Guohao's hometown

"Don't be discouraged, our special forces have cooperated with other branches of the military; If you get in touch, I will definitely help you ask about your family; I believe that if the other bases are stabilized, they will definitely restore communications first."

Camp Commander Zeng said with relief

Zhou Zhiyuan and the others could only temporarily let go of the thoughts in their hearts.

At this time, the military channel of the radio came with another call message, and a small force happened to be near the base.

"This is Zeng Weizhong, the commander of the assault battalion of the special operations brigade, which unit are you friendly with?"

Battalion Commander Zeng asked by radio

"Hello sir, Captain Sun Shiyun, Captain of the 186th Motorcycle Artillery Brigade of Jibu Brigade; I currently have 12 brothers in 1 all-terrain vehicle and an 8X8 wheeled assault vehicle and are asking for fuel assistance."

The artillery company commander replied

"I'll send someone to pick you up at once; It's safe here."

Battalion Commander Zeng said

"Let's go, we're all tired today; Our bodies are different from ordinary people, and we are still very energetic."

Zhou Zhiyuan said

Cao Ming had already said that Zhou Zhiyuan and his party were in unusually good health and that the battalion commander had said about it, so the battalion commander Zeng did not refuse; After all, he just came back today with a group of tired soldiers.

Zhou Zhiyuan and his party arrived at a small ravine where they were, as if they hadn't bathed for the whole month; If it weren't for the military vehicles, it would be hard to imagine where these refugees came from, but this company commander was quite wise, and he walked the roads below the county road; Although it is farther away, it is better to be safe.

"Let's eat something first, it takes time to refuel"

Zhang Hongda cooked two large pots of instant noodles and added a bunch of ham sausages and chicken thighs; After everyone swept away, they sincerely thanked Zhou Zhiyuan and his party.

"Don't be so polite, we're all compatriots; I know everyone is very tired, so I'll go back to the base if anything."

Zhou Zhiyuan said to these soldiers

After returning to the base, the soldiers parked their cars and went to rest; They stayed at their station for more than a month, and hardly dared to sleep every day; The nerves have been tense for so long, and they have rushed all the way to escape; As soon as he arrived at the barracks and washed, he fell asleep.

Tonight's sentry was arranged by yesterday's six soldiers, and Zhou Zhiyuan and his entourage were arranged to a non-commissioned officer suite with a bathroom in one of the six beds; One of the beds was Lolo's.

"Poof, Luo Luo is a non-commissioned officer dog like Big Black now"

Zhou Zhiyuan touched his head

"Alas, I really didn't expect the military to slow down until now"

Liu Jianyu sighed

"This kind of natural disaster is unprecedented, and who could have predicted it; And don't forget these weasels around our country, who knows if they will be called a danger; If you look at the casualty ratio of the military's corpses, if you stand firm, you will definitely defend the country first."

Zhou Zhiyuan said to Liu Jianyu

"At least where we are now is safe enough to survive and sustain ourselves; It will definitely be no problem to wait until the communication is restored."

Chen Guohao also said

"When the situation stabilizes, maybe it is possible to take the initiative to start a war with the living corpses, we are not short of weapons and ammunition now; What is missing is someone who operates the weapon."

Zhang Hongda said

"Looking at the proportion of their corpses, there are only more than one-tenth of the country's soldiers left; In the future, it is likely that all people can serve as soldiers, as they did during the Anti-Japanese War."

Zhou Zhiyuan said

"Doesn't it say that with great power comes great responsibility? Since we have superhuman abilities, we should do things that transcend ordinary people."

Xie Dongcheng Road

Before resting, the battalion commander discussed with Zhou Zhiyuan and his party, and let them receive combat training from Cao Ming and other special forces; Don't waste such a good physical fitness, of course you don't need to train your physical fitness; Rather, they lack a series of military skills and knowledge such as combat, firearms, explosives, driving, and communications.

"By the way, you didn't only do about seven rounds when you exercised before; How can I do ten rounds now?"

Liu Jianyu asked curiously

"I don't know, I didn't do anything other than kill the living corpse."

Chen Guohao replied

"I can't think of a reason, and I don't know if I'll be arrested for research in the future."

Zhang Hongda said

"I believe that someone in the country will give us the answer in the future, and the cause of human corpse transformation should be the first priority of scientific research now."
