City A, Temporary Command.

Mayor Liu Zheng stood in front of the map of City A with a cup of Biluochun, frowning tightly. This cup of high-grade Biluochun did not make his mood improve in the slightest.

It's been five days since the virus broke out. Although the situation in City A has been brought under control, it can only be regarded as a pyrrhic victory. More than two-thirds of the city's 700,000 people were killed or wounded. There are nearly half a million zombies in the city. Despite facing such a huge number of zombies, the 1st Garrison Division stationed in City A still blocked the attacks of the zombie groups again and again, holding less than one-third of Qishan District.

A municipal district of only 880,000 square kilometers.

He had a headache. He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights. has been sitting in the command headquarters, dealing with the government affairs that are always delivered to the front. Food, drinking water, and even survivors' shelters all need his approval.

More than 200,000 survivors are crammed into such a small municipal district, and the daily necessities alone have reached an astronomical amount.

For the first two days, the city was in chaos. He was the only mayor left in the entire city government, with two bureau chiefs and a handful of staff.

Driven by fear, survivors from the surrounding counties flocked to City A, hoping that the troops would bring them a sense of security. It is only in the last two days that the number of survivors fleeing has dropped significantly. He also got a little leisure to enjoy his favorite Biluochun on weekdays.

After taking a sip of tea, he suddenly felt that the tea was light and tasteless, and put down the teacup with interest. Although the situation in City A has improved a little, it is still not optimistic.

"Lao Liu."

With a slightly excited greeting, Fang Wanqu, the commander of the 1st Garrison Division, walked into this temporary headquarters in a hurry. He walked to the opposite side of Liu Zheng, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, picked up the teacup that Liu Zheng had just put down, and drank the tea.

"Good tea."

Fang Wanqu sighed and praised: "It's not easy to drink such a high-quality Biluochun at this time. ”

"There's more, it's all for you."

Liu Zheng pushed the teapot in his hand in front of this long-time friend, and asked with a smile: "What is the situation at the front line?" ”

"Difficult."

Fang Wanqu shook his head. He pointed to the map on the table helplessly and sighed: "I only have two integrated regiments and two battalions...... Oh, and the strength of a guard company. I've sent all the troops and the police. This is manpower...... Alas, it's just enough to hold the current line of defense. ”

Liu Zheng's brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought. Fang Wanqu said with great expectation: "It's best for you to communicate with the province and let them send more people." With just one more regiment of troops, I am sure that I will be able to regain City A within two months. ”

"Oh."

Liu Zheng raised his head thoughtfully. He looked at Fang Wanqu and confirmed again, "Are you sure?" ”

"Hmm."

Fang Wanqu nodded with great certainty. He pointed to the map and analyzed: "We have now arranged fortifications on Zhongshan South Road, Qishan Road and other places, relying on the surrounding buildings to resist the attack of zombie groups. It's just that this has already used up our troops. As long as there is one more regiment of troops, it will definitely be able to advance to the city and clean up the zombies in the city one by one. ”

"Okay."

Liu Zheng scrutinized it and clapped his hands. He took the telephone next to him and was about to call someone in the province. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the microphone, the phone suddenly rang.

He was stunned and subconsciously picked up the phone. After a while, his face changed suddenly, and immediately a touch of joy welled up on his cheeks. A few minutes later, he put down the phone in a happy mood and took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

The tea was already cold, but it didn't dampen the joy in his heart. Fang Wanqu couldn't help but hesitate a little when he saw it in his eyes. He asked tentatively.

"That call just now came from the province?"

"Hmm."

"What did you say?"

"Hehe, don't rush."

Liu Zheng smiled and raised his hand to signal Fang Wanqu to be restless. When Fang Wanqu saw it, he immediately became anxious: "I said Lao Liu, it's all this time, and he is still playing official with me." What instructions did I convey from above? ”

"The province asks us to hold our positions and wait for the next instructions."

Liu Zheng didn't hide it, and truthfully told the content of the phone call just now. As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Wanqu suddenly slapped the table with hatred and burst into a foul mouth.

", these zombie moths. Holding your ground? Phew. If Lao Tzu's division was a reorganized division, he would directly recover City A. Slam the report in the face of those guys. ”

"Rest easy."

Liu Zheng disagreed, and raised his hand to signal Fang Wanqu to let him finish his words. He smiled and asked, "Do you remember the radio intercepted yesterday?" ”

"Hmm."

Fang Wanqu stiffly responded. Liu Zheng smiled: "That's true." ”

"Really?"

Fang Wanqu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head again and again: "What are you kidding." That Dr. K is a trick that someone deliberately tricked up. ”

"It's time for your temper to change."

Liu Zheng laughed, put his hands on the table, and mysteriously lowered his voice: "The province also intercepted that radio." The top immediately organized a manual study. It wasn't until just now that it was confirmed that what Dr. K said was true. No, the higher authorities immediately conveyed that the troops in each city were required to temporarily hold their positions and wait for the whole army to be equipped with human strengtheners before launching a general attack. ”

"Equip the whole army?"

Fang Wanqu was stunned, and asked suspiciously, "That human body enhancer has already been made?" ”

"yes."

Liu Zheng nodded, as if he had put down the burden on his shoulders, and his mood was very relaxed: "Not only did I get it out, but I also went through it." That human body enhancer does work. The soldiers who participated in the real yàn each of their physical indicators increased by three to six times. Tsk, in the future, one person can be used as at least three people. At that time, you were still worried about the lack of manpower? ”

"Haha, I wronged those people above."

Fang Wanqu laughed and sighed with fascination: "In this way, it won't take two months, and Lao Tzu will recover City A in one month." ”

As soon as he said this, it occurred to him that he had overlooked the most important point. He hurriedly asked, "When did you say when it will be ready for mass production?" ”

"It's coming."

Liu Zheng took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Fang Wanqu, and then mysteriously lowered his voice: "The person on the other end of the phone just now told me that the above had put this matter in the first sequence and asked the scientific research department to step up the optimization of the formula. It is estimated that there will be news in another week. And ......"

"And what?"

Fang Wanqu's curiosity was suspended. Liu Zhengshen smiled mysteriously, couldn't hold back his joy, and continued in a low voice: "And this time we are considered to have hit a big luck." ”

"Hit the big luck?"

Fang Wanqu looked at Liu Zheng suspiciously, very curious. At present, the situation of City A is not at the bottom of Province G, but it is definitely not a good thing. When the epidemic is charged, it is impossible to say that it will be settled after the autumn.

"It's all about Dr. K."

Liu Zheng poured himself a cup of tea, held the teacup in both hands, looked back at Fang Wanqu with a smile in his eyes: "The boss secretly ordered me to find that Dr. K in the shortest possible time, and asked me to send Dr. K to the capital city N in the shortest possible time at any cost." ”

Fang Wanqu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask in a low voice: "Where is that Dr. K?" ”

"Here."

Liu Zheng pointed to the map and said with a smile: "The source of the radio has been identified. It is in Teng County, a hundred kilometers away from City A. ”

"It's so close?"

Fang Wanqu was dumbfounded. Liu Zheng withdrew his hand, took a sip of tea slowly, and said with a smile: "Don't blame me for not taking care of my old friends." This time, I will let you make this merit. You can send someone to get that Dr. K back. You can't wait to be transferred back to the 41st Army, right? As long as I find Dr. K, I will show this old face and reflect it upwards. It is too condescending for a military talent like you to stay in the local troops. ”

"I ...... Lao Liu, I really don't know how to thank you. ”

Fang Wanqu's eyes were a little moist. He was once a pure soldier, the commander of the 41st Regiment of the 364th Army. Helplessly, he was not familiar with the world and did not please his superiors, so he was appointed as the commander of the first garrison division and stationed in City A.

This promotion is really a bright rise and a dark fall. No matter how high the position of the local army is, how can it compare with a regiment commander in a regular group army? After a few years in the chaos of City A, he has also learned to be obedient and is no longer so sharp.

He knew that there was someone behind Liu Zheng, and he was also a big man in the Guangdong Military Region. With Liu Zheng's personal assurance, he believed that there would be no problem. Nearly a decade of deliberate friendship, today finally paid off.

Liu Zheng smiled, and his finger knocked on the map seemingly unintentionally: "Hehe, this matter will be discussed after you find Dr. K." ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to find that Dr. K now."

Fang Wanqu turned around and strode outside. Liu Zheng watched him leave, the corners of his mouth pulled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.

"This Dr. K is a treasure, even the central government is alarmed."

……

Westwind Bridge.

Fortifications sealed this main access to the city of A from the south. It is an extremely important strategic location. The road is flanked by rolling farmland. Below is a fast-flowing river. Holding here, whether it is retreating or defending, it occupies a sufficient advantage.

A company of garrison divisions was responsible for garrisoning this important place. Just as Fang Wanqu was dispatching people to look for Dr. K, the patrolling soldiers suddenly saw a black off-road vehicle driving on the road in the distance.

Company commander Wu Yu got the news and hurried to the fortifications. By this time, the off-road vehicle had been stopped. Five or six soldiers pointed their guns at a pair of young men and women who were getting out of the car. When one of the soldiers saw him coming, he immediately turned around and gave a military salute.

"Report to the company commander and find two survivors."

"Hmm."

Wu Yu returned a military salute, and then walked in front of the young man and woman. He looked the two of them up and down, and asked sternly, "Have you been bitten?" ”

Didn't wait for the two survivors to respond. A correspondent hurried over. He ran in front of Wu Yu and gave a military salute: "The division commander asks you to send a platoon to Teng County to find a person who claims to be Dr. K." ”

"Understood."

Wu Yu nodded. Although he was a little curious, he didn't intend to delve into it. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. He glanced back at the two survivors and instructed the soldiers beside him.

"Check it well, and if there are signs of a bite, shoot it immediately."

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the young foreign woman, and added, "Go and call Liu Jing over and ask her to check on this foreign woman." ”

"Yes."

The soldiers responded in unison. Wu Yu hurried to the company headquarters and arranged for people to carry out the division commander's orders.

After a short time, the young man and woman went through the inspection and entered the city of A.
