Early the next morning, Gou Cao was called by Meng Jie to the National Front Headquarters.

"I heard Wu Zhe say that you came from the north?" The rumored fox-like commander of the southern branch of the Northern City was much younger than Gou had expected, and he was not as polite as an ordinary official before the end of the world. As soon as Gou Cao sat down, he went straight to the point and began to ask questions.

"That's right." Gou Cao took the water cup handed by a young and capable female soldier, and replied without thinking. He hadn't intended to hide anything.

The commander couldn't see any expression on his face: "Well, there were no less troubles along the way." To the west is a zombie-infested city, and to the east is a long and dangerous frontline blockade. Where are you from? ”

"In the middle, there is not much trouble, but when you encounter it, it is a big trouble. There was a road where there were barely any zombies in sight, but both sides were poorly guarded, as told me by a corpse chaser driver I caught. ”

"The one under the car? He was blown unconscious and would take two days to wake up. ”

"Yes." Gou Cao silently felt that this guy's life was really hard, and Gou Cao originally thought he was dead.

The commander also took a sip of water, and his expression became more serious: "You should have heard that our power has not been able to extend too far to the north, and we don't know much about the news over there. Since you are from the north, please tell us all you know about the north, which will help us greatly. ”

"Actually, I don't know much. Just a few probable. ”

"Just say anything."

"Well, there are three main things. First, four months earlier, the corpse catchers had captured an outpost further north as an auto repair shop, apparently intending to expand north. ”

When the female soldier heard this, she immediately wrote something on the paper, and it seemed that she had recorded it. The commander looked like he was understanding, and then said in a very calm tone that he couldn't hear any emotion inside, "Go on." ”

"The second is that the airport in the east of Tong County seems to have been ransacked, where we found some kind of new zombie. It is formed by the virus parasitic fungus, which parasitizes the human body. People who seem to be immune to the zombie virus are also not immune to the parasitism of this parasitic fungus. Gou Cao noticed that when he spoke of the airport, the commander's demeanor was imperceptible, and when he spoke of parasitic fungi, he was still calm.

"Rather bad news, we also found this type of zombie in the south, and we thought it was just an exception. It seems that the fungus can have a certain strengthening effect on the corpse, and the IQ is also more reserved. A small amount is hard to beat with modern weapons, but a lot of it is a real problem. I don't know how many zombies there are? “

Gou Cao knew that the commander was avoiding the important and trivial.

"It's relatively rare in number, and it's only seen at airports."

"This is also consistent with the characteristics of the zombies we found in the south. Maybe there is something in common between the two...... But then again, I noticed you saying 'we'. ”

"This is the third piece of information I want to say, there is a villa in the west of Tong County, where more than a dozen survivors are gathered, and they are well trained in combat. I was one of them before. The settlement has not yet been discovered by the outside world because of its remote location, but I am worried that something will inevitably go wrong if I hide for a long time. ”

Gou Cao's words are not without purpose. In the rear of the enemy there is a force undetected by either side, which is showing a tendency to a possible union. This is something that must be taken seriously by any sensible commander. Moreover, he also wanted to use the connection between the survivors of the Lake Villa and the airport to hook up on a more important topic that had just been skipped by the commander.

"You want to transfer them here?"

"Yes" The best way to make a smart person initially trust himself is to let the other person know that he has a request for him, and he does not hide this demand in the slightest. After all, human actions driven by profit are largely predictable and controllable.

The commander had a smile on his face, the first expression he had put on his face so far without the slightest concealment: "Then we seem to have more in common." ”

Gou Cao smiled back at him. The commander took the bait.

Straight hook fishing is voluntary.

After the commander himself poured water on the empty cup in front of Gou Cao, the female soldier retreated in tacit agreement and called the rest of the room away. Now there are only two people left, Gou Cao and the commander.

After thanking the commander, Gou Cao took a sip of water, looked at the commander, and waited for the following.

After resuming his seat, the first to speak was the commander: "As I said earlier, our forces do not extend far to the north. Do you know why? ”

"According to my observations, at present, the National Front is basically armed by civilians before the catastrophe. It is clear that such people do not have the conditions to operate behind enemy lines for a long time. ”

"That's right, the organization, loyalty, combat literacy, and situational awareness required for special operations and intelligence gathering behind enemy lines are not something that can be cultivated in just a few months. At present, it is no problem for these people under my command to fight head-on, but letting them go behind enemy lines is basically no different from sending them to death. ”

"And what about the people you brought with you when you first arrived here, they can do it, right?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say, after the establishment of the southern branch of the North City, the people I brought with me were divided into two waves, one to organize the training of recruits, and to take on the task of front-line command. The other wave is to infiltrate the north to collect intelligence, which is also the biggest reliance on our ability to block the attack of the corpse chasers with our ungrown strength in the early stage. ”

"And now that the National Front is stronger, it can't continue to infiltrate the north, does that have anything to do with the airport?"

"Haha!" The commander laughed when he heard this, "You are really a smart man. ”
