A middle-aged man in a white coat, glasses, a little bald, and with the smell of a researcher hurriedly came to Shen Lei and said unceremoniously: "Shen Lei, are you sure that one-eyed beast will be caught alive?" If you help me catch it alive! I will ask the headquarters and the institute for credit for you!! ”

Zhang Jun hurriedly introduced: "Shen Lei is Professor Liu of the Jiangcheng General Research Institute, who is responsible for studying those monsters. ”

Shen Lei asked curiously, "How could the professor of the research institute appear here?" ”

Professor Liu said: "In order to directly observe the changes in the zombie mother tree! ”

Zhang Jun looked at Shen Lei expectantly and said, "Shen Lei, in a few days, we will gather all the forces of the military to attack a zombie mother tree." You're pretty skilled, how about joining our military? ”

When the rest of the soldiers of the elite squad heard this, their eyes also lit up, and they looked at Shen Lei with some expectation.

If it weren't for Shen Lei's action this time, this elite human warrior army would definitely run out of ammunition and be directly killed by the monster army led by the one-eyed beast. If Shen Lei can join the military, they will have a powerful partner.

Shen Lei asked curiously, "Is the zombie mother tree the huge strange tree in the center of Chaoyang District?" ”

Zhang Jun said: "That's right! ”

Shen Lei said: "Why are you in such a hurry to exterminate those zombie mother trees? Those ordinary zombies are no match for yours at all. It shouldn't be too much of a threat. ”

Professor Liu smiled coldly and said, "It's not too much of a threat? You couldn't be more wrong! If we don't destroy those zombie mother trees, I'm afraid that after a while, we will have to give up Jiangcheng. ”

"This is the footage we have taken, come and see!" Professor Liu booted up a laptop and opened a video.

I saw that on the computer screen, an image of the giant tree named the Zombie Mother Tree in the center of Chaoyang District suddenly appeared.

The zombie mother tree no longer knew how tall it was, and thick tendrils extended from the zombie mother tree, piercing into the twisted holes.

As the video fast-forwarded, everyone could see that the twisted holes were widening inch by inch.

Lumps of flesh shrouded in slime came out of the twisted holes and fell to the ground. Then it turned into a giant green mantis, giant red dragonfly and other giant insect larvae.

Under the influence of a mysterious force, the infected green leaf zombies walked towards the larvae of those giant insects.

The giant insect larvae pounced on the green-leafed zombies and devoured them.

As they continued to gnaw at those green-leaved zombies, the giant insect larvae also grew up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then disappeared into Jiangcheng.

Professor Liu said, "According to our guess, the distorted space cave should be an unstable wormhole. Those zombie mother trees should be strange plants with the power to stabilize and expand the wormhole passages. Judging by the expansion rate of the wormhole, after a month, the twisted wormhole will expand to about ten meters in diameter. At that time, more and more powerful monsters will emerge from within the twisted wormhole. We must destroy the zombie mother tree before it gets worse to have a chance of survival. Otherwise, we will have to abandon Jiangcheng and move to other places. ”

Professor Liu looked directly at Shen Lei, frank and selfless, and said word by word: "Shen Lei, this time it is a world-class catastrophe, and there are distorted wormholes in major cities across the country, and there is no escape, no escape. Once we were forced to leave Jiangcheng, this place. They will be displaced, reduced to food for those monsters, and there will be no chance to resist. Please join us in the fight to protect Jiangcheng! ”

Zhang Jun hurriedly said: "Shen Lei, you are an awakened one, right?" With your skills, once you join our military, you will be able to obtain the rank of second lieutenant. As long as you make meritorious contributions in the battle against the zombie mother tree, you will definitely be able to get promoted quickly. This is a great opportunity. ”

It is very difficult to get promoted in peacetime in the army. Without a background, many officers will not be promoted to the rank of second lieutenant in their lifetime.

However, after the cataclysm, it was the time to employ personnel, and as long as the army made enough meritorious deeds, it would be promoted much faster than in peacetime.

Shen Lei's heart moved slightly, and he asked curiously: "Awakened, are there many awakened people in the army?" ”

Zhang Jun said: "The number of awakened people is not too much. At present, there are three Awoken brigades in the army, and each Awoken brigade has six or seven Awoken people. ”

Shen Lei said in his heart: "More than eighteen awakened people! It is worthy of being the most powerful force in Jiangcheng. ”

Shen Lei pondered for a while and said: "In the army, discipline is extremely strict, I have always been used to idleness, but I am afraid that I will not be able to stand the constraints of the army." And I still have several relatives and friends to take care of, so I still don't join the army. However, the battle against the Zombie Mother Tree can come to me, and I am willing to fight side by side with you. ”

There is a lot of discipline in the army. Once he joined the army, it would be difficult for Shen Lei to meet Su Yue and the others. And once they join the army, as awakened ones, they will be thrown into the most dangerous front line to fight all kinds of monsters, and if they do not obey orders, they will be dealt with by military law and killed directly.

If Shen Lei was only one person, he wouldn't mind joining the army and fighting with Paoze. But he was worried, so he was naturally reluctant to join the military.

Zhang Jun continued to persuade: "You don't have to worry about this. More than half of the awakened people in those three brigades were from the civilian sector. They also can't stand the strict discipline in the military. Your Awoken Brigade has its own set of relatively loose discipline, and your relatives and friends can be counted as military dependents, and are cared for and protected by the military. Isn't the strength of the army stronger than the strength of you alone? ”

The Awakened have great power one by one, and when used well, they can exert terrifying power. In order to recruit those awakened to join the military, the military will naturally offer a series of preferential conditions.

Shen Lei pondered for a while, shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, I have no plans to join the army at the moment. ”

Once he joined the army, Shen Lei would not be able to hunt all kinds of monsters freely in this river city, and he would not be able to quickly improve his strength.

A look of regret flashed in Zhang Jun's eyes, and he handed a walkie-talkie to Shen Lei: "This is a special walkie-talkie, with this walkie-talkie, within a range of five kilometers, you can contact us." The time of the action should be three days later. ”

Shen Lei took the special walkie-talkie and took it into his arms.

Zhang Jun glanced at the one-eyed beast and said in a deep voice: "That one-eyed beast, I hope that Brother Shen will help you capture it alive!" ”
