A battle that wiped out more than 100,000 zombies, with a casualty rate of less than 200 people, is an acceptable figure for anyone, even a happy one. The soldiers who returned to the base in Yangyuan Town were warmly welcomed by all the survivors in the base, and Shen Yan was also warmly received by Li Mingyu and Zhang Baoguo. At the same time, the reception was accompanied by the appointment of the commander of the second campaign.

Almost 150,000 zombies on the southwest and south lines have been completely eliminated, and the only threat to the base of Yangyuan Town at the moment is due east, according to the report of the scouts, the number of zombies there is about the same as that on the southern line, and they are at least twenty kilometers away from Yangyuan Town at the moment, and it will take at least five hours to reach it.

With the experience of the first battle on the Southern Front, Shen Yan, who was once again appointed commander, decided to take the initiative. A strong defense line can certainly protect soldiers in battle, but in the face of a passive defensive counterattack of hundreds of thousands of zombies at a time, various emergencies are still unguardable. It's hard to imagine what the whole battle would be like if the number of zombies that evolved during the war in the previous World War was several times higher?

Fishing, this is the tactics used by Shen Yan in the First World War on the Eastern Front.

Several convoys lured upwards from all sides of the zombie herd, guiding hundreds of thousands of zombies to begin to divert the car, and then concentrate on quickly annihilating the small groups of corpses that were diverted. The whole battle lasted about half a day, but the results were very remarkable, until the zombie herd was completely wiped out, the casualties on the soldier's side were only more than forty wounded, none of them died, and more than forty wounded were of course sent to Yangji Town as reserve worker ants.

According to the original agreement with Li Mingyu, Shen Yan would leave after the crisis at the Yangyuan Town base was resolved, but he finally gave up because of a statement from the other party, and Shen Yan in desperation could be regarded as getting a rare rest.

The words that let Shen Yan leave behind are actually a task, an escort mission. Seven days later, a force would escort several people to Yangyuan Town, and Shen Yan's task was to lead a company of soldiers to cooperate with that force to escort these people to Xi'an the day after their arrival. In order to facilitate the leadership of this escort task, Shen Yan, who was originally promoted because of his military exploits, directly became a captain, and at the same time obtained the right of priority allocation of equipment.

Now a company under Li Mingyu's command has the same number of people as a battalion in peacetime, Shen Yan originally thought that the other party would limit the number of people, but Li Mingyu not only did not reduce the original number, but even made up the number to five hundred, which made Shen Yan understand that the identity of the escort this time was probably not ordinary.

Li Mingyu's various "preferential treatments" made Shen Yan's precautionary heart also worsen. The reason is very simple, it is too ordinary for him to be a civilian, but with such an identity, the other party not only gave the command of the two battles, but also gave the actual control of a "company" when he was promoted after the battle, as well as the priority allocation of equipment. All of this has a faint smell of conspiracy. However, Shen Yan is not worried about these, as long as he has enough interests, he will not care whether the other party really has a conspiracy, but will use the other party's conspiracy to profit from it. Of course, under the skin of the tiger, it is still very necessary to be careful.

The crisis was lifted, so that Yangyuan Town in the last days to get a chance to develop, the soldiers began to be in the company of the formation of continuous dispatch, radiating to Yangyuan Town within a 50-kilometer radius to collect various resources. The survivors in the base were also effectively organized, using the existing resources and the materials brought back by the troops to replan and build the base. But what makes Shen Yan a little strange is that Li Mingyu seems to be in a hurry about the construction of the base, and the construction plan is several times larger than the previous idea, and even a piece of land has been circled in advance on the north bank of the river, and barbed wire has begun to be pulled around!

Shen Yan didn't ask much about these abnormal behaviors, but began to develop worker ants in the base according to his pre-determined plan. Fortunately, in order to let Shen Yan wait with peace of mind, Li Mingyu deliberately contacted the Hexian base in Ning Province again, this time the call was relatively long, Shen Yan got a lot of information from Shen Hao's mouth, and after making sure that it was indeed safe there, he finally launched the plan when he first entered Yangyuan Town, developing worker ants.

According to Shen Yan's original idea, Yangyuan Town has a clear goal for the development of worker ants, either soldiers or capable survivors. It's a pity that the zombie group besieging the base was cleared, so that the survivors of Yangyuan Town were reluctant to leave, and Shen Yan couldn't force anyone to do anything, so he could only target the former, especially the guard company he led on this trip.

The guard company can be said to be the most familiar with Shen Yan, and Li Mingyu has no opinion on choosing them, and the guard army, as the chief officer, has taken a back seat because of Shen Yan's appearance, and he doesn't seem to feel that there is anything wrong. In this way, after knowing his mission, Shen Yan returned to Yangji Town as soon as possible.

Today's Yangji Town is a satellite town of Yangyuan Town, and it can also be said to be Shen Yan's temporary base camp. Because whether it was the guard company stationed in the town or the wounded soldiers who were sent before, they basically belonged to his leadership. On the second day after Shen Yan came to Yangji Town, Luo Lie, who received the news, also led a convoy to follow closely.

The entire convoy now has more than 200 people, more than 50 large and small vehicles, young and old, men and women, only one-fifth of them are adult men, and there are not many people who can really fight. But with the addition of this group of wounded soldiers, the entire convoy immediately became stronger, and the guard force was also invisibly and sharply strengthened.

Shen Yan's performance on the battlefield, as well as his series of performances in the treatment of wounded soldiers, greatly increased the latter's favor towards him. Especially with the pre-arranged worker ants to guide him, these injured soldiers who had been injected with Shen Yan's blood became more and more identified with him, which also accelerated the continuous improvement of their common surname index. Although the common surname index of these people cannot immediately exceed the "five" to meet the standard of worker ants, it is entirely possible that most of them will become worker ants if they continue to develop and wait until seven days later.

The effective time for the formation of worker ants is one month after the injection of blood, and during this time, the speed of the injected people reaching the worker ants depends entirely on their identification with Shen Yan! This kind of recognition can shorten the time to five days at the earliest, just like Guan Feng and Luo Lie at the beginning.

The addition of the wounded soldiers brought fifty more survivors to Shen Yan's convoy, all of whom were family members of these soldiers. In order to reassure these people, Shen Yan and the worker ants under his command really did a lot of work.

During the seven days of waiting, Shen Yan did not idle at all. Using a large number of weapons and equipment obtained from Li Mingyu, he armed the combatants of the convoy as soon as possible, and led the team out for training by Luo Lie, Qin Feng and others. These armed men include not only the male but also the female surnames of the troops.

If it is relatively easy to develop more than a hundred wounded soldiers to become worker ants, then it is a bit difficult to develop 500 soldiers under the command of the Guard! After all, people are not injured, you can't catch people and inject them directly, right? Even if he uses his fake doctor's identity to trick them into injecting, it is a little inconvenient because they have not left the scope of Yangyuan Town now. After all, this kind of thing still needs to be kept secret, and they are not like the worker ants and reserve worker ants in the team, who have complete isolation measures.

Guan Feng gave him advice to pass the blood through food and water to achieve the effect of injection! For this opinion, Shen Yan asked Mira for the first time, and the latter also replied, saying that this method is feasible, but the assimilation time will be extended by three times, and the consumption of blood is also very large! In the end, Shen Yan had to give up this method, and it didn't matter if the time was extended, but the blood consumption of five hundred people would kill him, after all, even if it was a drop per person, it was definitely not a small amount.

Soon Shen Yan came up with an idea, he asked people to find a few rings, made a thin barb on the inside of the ring, the barb was stained with his blood, and then injected it by shaking hands with each other. Although the small spikes can make the other party react, but this can be attributed to an unconscious action, an excuse can be forgiven, and even most people have not reacted at all, and have already been injected by Shen Yan through this method. In this way, in just two days, Shen Yan completed the injection steps against the five hundred people of the guard company through this method.

In addition to the integration of the team and the development of worker ants, Shen Yan's remaining focus is on the protection of vehicles. This is obviously the most important thing now that the number of people in the team is increasing and there are simply not enough vehicles available. At the same time, there are various supplies such as fuel and food, which also need to be replenished and shipped in large quantities. Fortunately, with the addition of more than 100 soldiers, coupled with the cooperation of the guards, these are not problems!

Time passed quickly, it was the sixth day in a blink of an eye, and Shen Yan, who was originally going to stay here in Yangji Town for a day, suddenly received a notice from Li Mingyu asking him to rush to the base headquarters as soon as possible. After receiving the order, Shen Yan did not delay time, but when he came to the headquarters of the base in Yangyuan Town, what he saw was a bleak and gloomy cloud, and at the same time, a very bad news also came out of Zhang Baoguo's mouth!

"The troops of the escorts are surrounded in the Xinyang area!"
