No matter how speechless and helpless Li Jian is, now he is the leader of this cannon fodder team, to be precise, the gambling team. He was about to have three lives on his shoulders, though nothing compared to the thousands of lives he had on his shoulders at the Wall of Life. But that doesn't mean he can be indifferent to the lives of these three people, after all, he is always the captain.

Zero squad, there are a total of ten squads. Each squad is basically three privates, plus one corporal standard, occasionally there will be three privates plus one senior private, but the composition of one superior and three subordinates is already fixed.

Although in terms of numbers, ten squads, a total of forty people, may sound like a small number. But judging from the speed of its rotation, this is already the most efficient and scientific arrangement. To put it simply, in almost every operation, there are casualties among cannon fodder squads. In the case of large-scale operations, it is possible to destroy four or five of the ten squads at once, so you can imagine how high the mortality rate of these cannon fodder squads is. Often, before the people in the arrangement have memorized the people in these squads, a new batch of people has already come up to take their place.

The task of the cannon fodder squad is naturally to be cannon fodder. For each mission, it is basically one or two elite squads, plus a cannon fodder squad. Dangerous things, such as temptations, lures and whatever, are all done by the cannon fodder squad. Since they were willing to join this cannon fodder team, these team members actually had a certain amount of psychological preparation, and they could only pray that they could escape every mission.

On the first day that Li Jianxin came, he naturally familiarized himself with the people in his team first, and only started the mission the next day. Therefore, in the evening, Li Jian went straight to Lin Ying's current residence in the base, which is also where he will live in the future, or in other words, where he will live in a short time.

"At present, there are only so many S-energy test tubes."

After taking a comfortable hot bath, Lin Ying, who was covered in the aroma of shower gel and the hazy heat, took out a delicate test tube rack and placed it on the table, in front of Li Jian.

In a few days, Lin Ying's military rank has been promoted to sergeant, this is because of the results of the significant progress made in the project she studied, and the military merits she has obtained have promoted her to the rank of sergeant in one breath. After all, Lin Ying was a well-known beauty scientist in the academic world before the end of the world, and it was only a matter of time before she achieved this achievement.

"Well, thank you."

Li Jian smiled slightly, then picked up the S energy test tube, looked at the universe-like S energy inside, pulled out the test tube plug and poured it into his mouth without hesitation.

There are six S-energy test tubes on the table, and even if the weather has been kept below zero now, there is no change in these S-energy, and it is worthy of being a mysterious substance that is still a mystery until now. According to Lin Ying, even in this base, the research on S energy is still not profound, and the progress of its research has been very slow.

"You've drunk so much at once, will you'll be fine?"

Lin Ying watched Li Jian drink the six S-energy test tubes in one go, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I know where the limits of my absorption power are."

Li Jian is telling the truth, the S energy contained in each S energy test tube is only one-fiftieth of the S energy contained in a corpse core. Even if there are six sticks here, it is only six-tenths of the portion, and Li Jian is confident that he can still absorb it.

Lin Ying looked at Li Jian like this, and her expression was a little worried.

How could she, who was careful, not notice that Li Jian was hiding something from her? It's just that she hasn't asked. Because she knew that since Li Jian didn't take the initiative to say it, it must be because he had a reason why he didn't want him to know, and in this case, she was embarrassed to take the initiative to ask him again.

"By the way, you have this."

Li Jian pulled out a jet-black and shiny pistol out of nowhere. The pistol was extremely well maintained, and it was evident that it had just been opened. In addition, Li Jian also placed two magazines on the table, which were stuffed with shiny 5.76mm bullets.

"It's ......"

"Take it, it's good to get an extra gun for self-defense."

After being threatened by Colonel Wang Chao, Li Jian could only do his best to protect Lin Ying. Even if he believed that Colonel Wang Chao would not break his promise so easily and make a move on Lin Ying, it was good to take precautions after all.

Lin Ying looked at Li Jian's eyes, nodded, and put away the pistol and the two magazines. This was one of the firearms he obtained when he became the captain of Team 08, but Li Jian's usual attack method was not on the firearm, so he gave it to Lin Ying.

"Be careful yourself."

Lin Ying knew that Li Jian was the captain of the cannon fodder team, and said gently.

"Well, you too."

Early the next morning, in the small room dedicated to Team 08.

"Put away the poker, dice, and mahjong for me, and now I'll talk about our task for today."

Li Jian said angrily.

“yes,sir！”

Poker, dice, and mahjong immediately put away those good things in their hearts, and listened to Li Jian's words with a serious expression.

"Today, we're out on a mission with the Phantom Squad. The purpose of the mission is to lure the zombies in the northeast away, and to clear them as much as possible to get the corpse core. Because there is a zombie pile in the northeast with a number of nearly two hundred, although it is far away from the base, it is likely to pose a threat to the base, so it is necessary to dispose of them. ”

Phantom Squad is the name of an elite squad. The elite squad, in other words, is the main combat squad of this base. The people inside are basically regular soldiers, and their ability and quality are naturally not a problem. Even if he is not a soldier, he is an evolutionary with some ability, or a pseudo-soldier who has extraordinary strength and is brought up from the civilian area, in short, it is a completely different level of existence from a cannon fodder team like Li Jian.

Although Li Jian said that the content of the mission is this, in fact, they will act as bait at that time, that is, let the zombies chase after them. So that the elite squad cleans them up and takes them out of place as much as possible.

Cannon fodder, what is cannon fodder? That's it.

Li Jian also learned from other people that in case of any critical situation, the people of the elite team would even use the people of their cannon fodder team to feed the zombies, so as to delay their escape. In other words, in their eyes, the people of the cannon fodder squad are almost like one-time supplies, which are useless and useless when they are used up.

While lamenting the sad fate of the cannon fodder team, Li Jian saw the unnatural faces of the three people of poker, dice, and mahjong, and knew that they were also very worried about this mission. The high mortality rate of the cannon fodder squad is not just as scary as it sounds.

"In short—"

Li Jian clapped his hands and woke them up.

"Be careful, don't die." (To be continued.) )
