Chapter 141, The Legendary Ark Meeting
Li Di's reinforcements were only 3 people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I've seen them all, that is, the other three of the 4 people who helped us break through at City University last time in addition to Li Di's own, the big heavy machine gunner Monza, the little white-faced sharpshooter Li Shuming, and the foreign policewoman Feng Wanting, her English name is Grace, I think this is the right name for her, the person who helped her choose a Chinese name is too ridiculous.
Although there are only 3 people, I have seen the combat effectiveness of these 3 people. With them, at least the survival rate of this operation will be much higher.
In addition to these three people, they were also dropped by the helicopter with several boxes of equipment. This is also what we desperately need. If we were like some county brigade or district squad before, if these equipment were in place, we would have become a regular army.
These three people have changed from the last police combat uniform to the desert camouflage of the army, and the clothing they brought to us is also desert camouflage, but the number is not enough for the more than 80 people we have here, so we can only equip the operation team first. However, the "MB" letter on the collar badge is gone, which seems to mean that we have evolved from a militia to a regular army. The combat uniform I was given was still hung with a major collar badge, and Lin Zhuoran's judgment was very accurate.
But I don't really have a cold for this thing.
"Comrade Major," the serious call me "comrade" is Grace, a British girl who can speak beautiful Mandarin, which reminds me of the Soviet Red Army, so what should she call Genia and Katyusha, she saluted me solemnly, and said: "According to the instructions of the superiors, Lieutenant Monza, Second Lieutenant Li Shuming, and Second Lieutenant Feng Wanting were temporarily seconded to the base of Cedar Villa in Yushan District, Guangyin City, under the command of Major Li Hao. Please instruct! ā
I'm going to it, so formal? Fortunately, I also spent time in the army, and I returned a standard military salute and said, "Rest for a while, welcome to you, we can fight side by side again." ā
We were preparing to leave tomorrow morning, and these three reinforcements arrived in the afternoon, so it can be said that they arrived in a very timely manner. After they came, they were immediately busy, and the little white-faced Li Shuming went to add some military monitoring equipment to the villa, saying that it could make up for the blind spots of the villa's monitoring, and the monitoring screen could be connected to the war zone through the network, which was somewhat suspicious of surveillance. No one has explained this, but I can figure it out to myself, since we have been drafted into the army by a special law, then we must take over the jurisdiction of the war zone, the wartime military organization, there are not so many human rights to talk about. To put it another way, since the war zone has invested so much equipment in us, just like a company that has invested, it must also want to track and understand its own investment, which is also the importance of this investment.
And the big man Monza is in charge of handing over the weapons and equipment, and I feel tired for him when I see the pain and disgust on his face, yes, our people here are basically not even a ragtag army, they are still refugees in nature, if it weren't for the discipline and physical training I have been doing these days, maybe his face would have been even more ugly. And now many of them are even worse than the people they were training in the wetland park at that time. Well, let him have a headache, if everyone can come back safely, he will have time to train these people. So I don't think I need to remove the "MB" letter from our collar badge, I'm very self-aware.
Relatively speaking, Grace, who was in charge of handing over equipment other than weapons with Lin Zhuoran, was easier, and after checking the list of materials, I signed Grace, and she was basically fine. I didn't let her help Li Shuming or Monza, but stayed alone, not because I didn't let go as soon as I saw the girl, but because I had a lot of questions to ask her.
I led Grace to the lawn outside the command center, which was large, with a bluestone path leading to a long corridor in the middle, which was overgrown with creepers, and looked very green.
"The environment of this place is good, much better than the conditions of our base." The first to speak was Grace, who could see that she was a very active person, and I handed her a cigarette, and she laughed very happily, and the laughter was very open, after all, it was the face of a foreign girl, not as reserved as our traditional girls.
"You know what?" Grace took a puff of her cigarette very comfortably and said, "Li Di smoked, I still taught it." ā
It can be seen that she has a good relationship with Li Di, and in this kind of private occasion, she also calls Li Di by her name.
I smiled, not wanting to go around in circles, and asked directly, "How is Li Di now?" Where did she fight? Is it dangerous? "This is not something that a soldier should ask, but as an older brother, I am very eager to know Li Di's current condition.
Grace thought for a moment and said, "You know what? She's actually fighting humans right now. ā
This sentence is very informative, but in this situation, I think it is basically natural for this kind of thing to happen. The original social system has been completely destroyed by the end of the world, that is, the military can still maintain the corresponding order, right? Speaking of a war zone, it is really unknown how much the military has control now. With the implementation of the special law, the survivors have more or less the opportunity to obtain weapons and equipment, which is a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it can protect the survivors, but on the other hand, when the survivors with ulterior motives have mastered the armed forces, it is not strange not to play according to the normal card rules. It is estimated that whether it is the theater of operations or the high command, they all know it in their hearts.
It has been less than two months since the disaster broke out, and people can still maintain their original behavior in the general direction with the inertia of thinking, but as the disaster continues, as survival becomes more and more difficult, the original moral laws can no longer be binding enough.
I said, "You and Li Di are good friends, right?" ā
Grace looked at me and said, "Of course, there is nothing to talk about, and it would be more accurate to say that it is best friends." ā
Girlfriend, you are big, I feel weird when I see this foreign girl's face and hear my girlfriend's Chinese statement, but it doesn't matter, I said: "I am Li Di's own brother, so how can I say that we are also our own people." Can you give me a truthful word, I want to know, what is the strength of the military now? What is the current situation on a national scale? "I don't even ask about the situation in the world, I can't go to Europe or the United States anyway, and I just want to know how bad our living conditions are now.
Grace said: "Your question contains military secrets. ā
I shook my head and said, "Brother and sister, don't talk about those false things. Actually, if you don't say it, I can guess that the military's control is relatively limited, there are survivors armed everywhere, and some have openly refused to accept the military's command, right? Otherwise, Li Di would not have been sent to fight humans, this is what you said, to fight against humans. ā
Grace smiled helplessly and said, "Well, this is actually not a secret, you are right, the control of the military is indeed limited, and it is constantly declining, and many military bases have been attacked by zombies on a large scale, and the losses are great." At my level, it is impossible to know how many military bases are still operating normally in the country, but except for the bases at the theater level, the situation is really not optimistic. Do you know what the problem is? Not long ago, led by the International Medical Alliance, the world's top scientists convened a remote roundtable, this meeting is called the 'Ark Conference', it is said that the scientists at the meeting pulled a lot of skin, and this meeting lasted for several days, and the scientists who participated in the meeting finally adopted a common program, the core of which is to recommend that governments take conservative measures for the current disaster and avoid the use of weapons of mass destruction to cause more irreparable damage. Among them, after the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the Homeland Alliance and the Deep Green Organization, the two sides expressed their commitment to resource sharing and comprehensive cooperation. The United Nations eventually adopted the platform, and governments and militaries adjusted their disaster response strategies. This also led us to change the way we fight zombies from striking to isolation, and to be honest, this strategy cost us quite a bit of life. ā
"Isn't that?" I felt so incredible that I lost my voice and said, "Zombies are the living dead, and although they can move, they are all dead!" Dead you know? These are the facts before us! Are all those scientists blind? I've cut open the heads of zombies, and the brains inside have deteriorated, how can I still be a sick patient? How can it still be cured? ā
Grace reached out and asked me for another cigarette, I gave her a whole pack, this cigarette is also the stock of the villa, not much, but at this time I didn't have the heart to pick the door, she happily threw a wink at me, said: "It's useless for you to yell at me, we all think so, now there are division-level formed units in various theaters, and the air force and navy can still operate normally, as long as the various services are coordinated, we have the ability to carry out reconquest operations city by city." Although it is also difficult because it is not so easy to fight and rescue survivors, but the current strategy is not to use weapons of mass destruction, not to use air force and long-range artillery fire to concentrate bombardment, how difficult do you say it is to fight? How difficult do you think it is to not only fight, but also to build the wall, but also to protect the workers who build it? So it's much simpler for Li Di to be transferred to fight against the out-of-control survivor forces now. Rest assured, our troops are elite, and basically the survivors are armed ...... ...... like you."
I'm still in great shock, and I don't care about her ridicule, what Ark meeting, what common bill, what are scientists' brains made of? Can't they see such obvious facts? Or is it that the scientists are really sure that these zombies with degraded brains can be cured, it's just that we people don't understand great technology.
Seriously, of course I hope the scientists are right, there are billions of people infected and turned into zombies in the world, if it can be cured, it is of course a meritorious thing, but my intuition tells me that this thing is probably going to suffer, when I think of home medicine I think of their two spokesmen's cold "human beings control everything" sentence, if human beings can really control everything so easily, how can such a disaster happen?
I said, "I'm going to sort it out, Grace, you mean to say that those scientists are suggesting that quarantine is the main thing for dealing with infected people, right?" They are convinced that the infected still have a chance to be treated, and that they can control the situation, right? ā
Grace took out a military wrist computer and said, "Let's show you a video, it was issued by our theater commander to officers above the battalion level, and you are now qualified to watch it." "But she can also see it even as a second lieutenant, which shows that the authority is not just for the battalion level.
Grace's computer screen shows a face I once saw on TV, the scientific director of Homestead Pharmaceutical, and the third son of the big boss of Homestead Group, Zongti, who is talking to a lieutenant general.
Zong Ti's figure was not much shorter than that of the lieutenant general, but in front of this soldier who stood straight, he clearly looked thin, and he said to the lieutenant general with an expressionless face: "Yes, it is mainly isolated." At the same time, I can also answer you with great certainty that we can control the situation, and when I say "we", I do not mean a certain group of people, but the entire human society. You have to believe that since humans evolved to become the masters of this planet, humans have always been able to control everything. ā
The lieutenant general waved his hand and said: "I don't listen to these nonsense, now I must tell you that my soldiers have suffered heavy losses on the front line, and if we can't use heavy weapons to destroy the infected on a large scale, we won't be able to hold the city at all in the first place." I only have more than 100,000 troops at my disposal, and that's not counting the survivors who just joined, but we're dealing with at least 4 million infected so far! And we're trying to rescue survivors scattered around the city. Frankly speaking, if your suggestion is adopted by the headquarters, as a soldier, I will resolutely obey the command until the soldiers are exhausted, and we officers are also exhausted, but I am not optimistic about your plan. We've all seen with our own eyes what has become of those who are infected, and just like that, do you think they can still be saved? Don't tell me it's humanitarian, tell me, how much benefit will this bring you? As far as I know, Homeside Medicine is currently the fastest-growing and most promising profitable industry in China, not a charity. ā
When the lieutenant general spoke, his gaze was like a sharp sword blade pressing at Zong Ti, such a gaze was enough to cause huge psychological pressure on people, and usually those who did not have enough endurance would not even be able to raise their heads under such a gaze.
But Zong Ti, who looked pale and thin, was still expressionless, as if nothing was enough to arouse his joy, anger and sorrow. Even if the lieutenant general repeatedly asked, even with an obvious tendency to question, Zong Ti only replied tepidly: "We will come up with a new biological agent in the shortest possible time, and launch the preparation through your artillery into an area densely populated by the infected, when the shell explodes, the preparation composed of biomolecules will quickly spread in the air, this biomolecule can enter the inside of the cell, inhibit the vitality of the virus, and have a strong calming and anesthetic effect on the host. On average, each shell carries enough agents to silence and slow an infected person within one square kilometer for no less than 12 hours. I think that's enough time for your soldiers to evacuate safely. This is only the first step in securing the front-line soldiers, and then we will establish a quarantine zone, and in this regard, I believe your military is very experienced. General, you don't have to be so excited, I emphasize once again that we humans have the ability to control this planet.
This biological agent was proposed by a young professor from a university in the province who attended the conference, and this young professor had almost been eaten by an infected person in his school - that is, zombies, but he happened to be hiding in the laboratory at that time, and it was he who used the biological agent that was still being tested to make the zombies outside the laboratory temporarily lose their aggression, and he was able to survive. As soon as his plan was proposed, it was hotly discussed on the spot, and quickly went through the rigorous calculations of the experts present, and all the data showed that this plan was feasible. ā
The video is short, but the clues are clear.
It sounds good, but I'm still not optimistic, maybe I've always been so pessimistic.
I shook my head and said, "Let's not talk about that, let's prepare for tomorrow's action." With your joining, I also have a little more confidence. I just don't know if there are any survivors in that school. ā
"Yes," Grace said, "we've received their distress signals. She raised her hand to switch the computer on her wrist to a screen, and said, "Li Shuming's drone has passed." (To be continued.) )
