Chapter 52: The progress bar grows
The jeep moved forward slowly, and it wasn't until noon that Li Mu realized that he had underestimated the strength of this so-called Earth Federation.
The square in front of the noon gate was dilapidated, the potholes on the ground were obviously bomb craters, and the heavy machine guns and small-caliber howitzers on the city tower were not enough to show their strength, then after entering the noon gate, the two helicopters parked on the bank of the Jinshui River completely shocked Li Mu, An Ran and Boss Qian.
Obviously, this team is definitely a regular army.
"Three, please." Qin Junming got out of the car and politely let the three of them pass through the Taihe Gate, and the situation inside was even more jaw-dropping-but what shocked people was no longer weapons and equipment, but insects and beasts!
On the square in front of the Taihe Palace, there are hundreds of large iron cages neatly arranged, and each cage is locked up with an insect beast or zombie, but the insects and zombies here are not as violent as their counterparts outside, but they are languishing, and I don't know if they are hungry or for some other reason.
"Our special service team actually has two tasks, one is to take care of the cultural relics in the Forbidden City, and the other is to use the defense capability of the Forbidden City and the zombie resources in the city center to protect experts to study insects and beasts." Qin Junming explained as he walked, "Our experts will conduct experiments on insects and beasts, such as dissection and injection, hoping to find the weaknesses of insects and beasts, and maybe in the future, we humans will have hope if we can invent a virus weapon......
"Virus weapons?" Boss Qian frowned and said, "That won't have an impact on humans, right?" ”
"Of course not, our goal is to kill the parasites, not us humans." Qin Junming smiled, "Please here, this is our command center......
Except for the position of the dragon chair in the Taihe Palace, all other places have been cleared, and there are several computers on the left and right sides, but there are obviously two camps on both sides, on one side are soldiers in military uniforms, and on the other side are so-called experts in white coats.
"Xiao Qin, that voice just now should be a big guy, right? What breed? A man in his fifties with a scruffy beard came running up and asked.
"This is Professor Su, and he is in charge of all the research work." Qin Junming said, "Professor Su, these three are survivors of the capital, and what they encountered just now was an insect elephant, which had already been killed by their team. ”
"Worms?" Professor Su exclaimed, "Elephants in the zoo? Tsk, how did you kill you? What about corpses? Did you pull it back? ”
Qin Junming was also a little crying and laughing, and said: "The corpse is downstairs in Tianmen City, if you are interested, I will let someone pull it back when you go back, but at least wait until those zombies outside tomorrow disperse." ”
"Okay, you must bring me back tomorrow......" Professor Su agreed, and then ignored Li Mu and the others, muttering to himself and not knowing what to say, turned around and went back to the office area over there.
"I'm sorry, Professor Su is obsessed with research, and he is a bit careless about human communication, hehe......" Qin Junming said.
"It's okay, by the way, Captain Qin, can you still communicate with the computer here?" Li Muda looked at several soldiers who were busy in front of the computer with interest and asked.
"Of course, we use satellites." Qin Junming said, "After the disaster, most of the civilian satellites crashed because the ground control center was not managed, but the military of various countries still has some satellites that can be used." ”
"You were the army?" Li Mu asked again.
Qin Junming invited the three of them to sit down at a simple table and talked about the origin of the so-called Earth Federation.
After the alien attack, the core area of the military and political was destroyed, and some of the remaining smaller local garrisons were leaderless, some chose to destroy the zombies, some set up protected areas, some tried to maintain local order, and some simply disbanded. However, in the past few months, some troops have regained contact and formed a new military and political system, and through satellite contact, it is known that the world has begun to restore order, and in order to better fight the alien invaders, the Earth Federation was finally officially established two months ago.
The so-called Earth Federation is just a nominal name, but in fact, just like the original United Nations organization, it can only be regarded as a coordination platform to facilitate the sharing of information and technology among various regions.
"Since, as you said, you've been established for two months, and order has been restored in many places, why haven't we heard of your existence all along?" Li Mu asked with a frown.
"This is related to two issues," Qin Junming said, "First, in the past few months, there have been many ambitious survivors, in the name of establishing a government organization, coaxing people everywhere to join the gang, so many survivors do not trust this statement, and we also tried to publicize it to the outside world in the early stage, but the effect was not ideal, so we did not publicize our existence except for the protected area liberated by our combat brigade." Another reason is that we were established to fight aliens, not to manage people, and our main task at present is to expand the reserve step by step, while protecting some key areas, as well as researching more efficient ways to fight parasites. If you hadn't rushed to Tianmen Square today, perhaps you wouldn't know about our existence until a few months later, when our battle brigade marched to the capital. ”
Li Mu and the three of them looked at each other, obviously not recovering from the shock of these news.
In Li Mu's view, human beings belong to social animals, and even if the government is destroyed, it will inevitably be reorganized and order restored, and this form of the so-called Earth Federation is not impossible.
But the problem is that they seem too formal.
Li Mu has been from the first time to the end of the world, it has been almost a month, and all he has seen and heard is that the survivors are struggling to survive, without food, drink, or weapons, to guard against zombie attacks, and to guard against similar mutilation, basically they are desperate after today and tomorrow, but these people seem to be not worried about eating and drinking, well-armed, and even have the heart to protect cultural relics, to engage in insect and beast research, and even to keep in touch with the world?
The most terrifying thing is that all this is going on in secret, the entire capital is so big, even big bases like Qingda and Xishan troops don't know they exist!
Facing the three who were silent, Qin Junming said again: "Your equipment is not bad, your combat effectiveness is worthy of recognition, and we are very willing to accept a team of survivors like you." This is an existential time for humanity, and only when we unite can we save the planet......"
Boss Qian, who kept shouting that he was an anarchist, showed eagerness in his eyes, and Li Mu hurriedly said, "Thank you for the invitation, we will consider your proposal." ”
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm sure you'll make the right choice after thinking about it." Qin Junming smiled, "But I hope that no matter what decision you make, the news about our existence will be kept secret, especially for ordinary survivors with low combat effectiveness. We are not a babysitting agency, and we only welcome the strong to join. ”
Li Mu's heart moved, and he suddenly found that the progress bar of the system had actually increased......
[When it comes to doing it, there is another chapter in the evening, you know......]
