In the future world, Su Hao has participated in many banquets and parties.

As a senior researcher at the time, he always received friendly expressions and smiling faces from most people. But I don't know what the road is about, Su Hao always feels that those smiles only stay on the surface of the skin, and they can't even penetrate into the muscles, let alone from the heart.

The division command post is a small three-story building with a large area. The luxurious decoration style, the oil paintings hanging on the walls, and the lush plants inside and outside the house all show the power and identity of its original owner.

However, that was before all.

Today, it has a strong military atmosphere———— high-power transmitters have been installed on the rooftops, the garden has been turned into a small power plant, the surrounding area has been set up as a cordoned off area, and several infantry fighting vehicles patrol the nearby streets, and soldiers armed to the teeth can be seen everywhere.

Dozens of officers surrounded Su Hao and Liu Jiangyuan, and walked into the restaurant together in an extremely warm atmosphere.

The main course is simple, just a pot of braised pork mixed with hob cuts of potatoes and carrots, the red and yellow color is very beautiful, but the number of pieces of meat is greatly reduced. The bowl of meat is large, and the sauce-colored juice is about to overflow, making it feel like a soup rather than a dish.

Next to the meat bowl are four plates: shrimp and cabbage, boiled cucumber strips, fried peppers with tomatoes, and fried peanuts.

The dishes are not exquisite, but they are sufficient, with a distinctly military style of food.

Liu Jiangyuan beckoned Su Hao to sit down next to him, casually picked up a bottle of "Red Star Erguotou" specially supplied by the army from the cardboard box under his feet, unscrewed the cap of the bottle vigorously, and filled the military enamel jar in front of Su Hao with a few "goo-dudu".

"Yu Cup————

Su Hao rarely drinks alcohol, and never drinks spirits above 15 degrees. This is a habit that he has maintained since the future world. He has a record of being anesthetized by alcohol several times, and the feeling is very uncomfortable, his speech and thinking are completely uncontrollable, the whole person is transparent, and it is easy to confide in his inner secrets.

Now, it's not up to him to drink or not.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Su Hao still picked up the cup and drank the liquid inside.

Of course, he didn't want to get drunk, but he was confident enough about the black particles in his body.

The high-strength spirits are spicy in the mouth, as if a liquid fire line is flowing down the throat. Immediately afterwards, there was an extremely strong feeling of vomiting in the stomach pouch, pantothenic acid, nausea, and the whole person seemed to be burned by an invisible flame, which stimulated the pain in the eyes, the nostrils, and the dizziness of the brain and desperately tried to drive away reason.

The intense vertigo effect lasted less than five seconds, and the discomfort soon became sober. Su Hao's eyes, which had just begun to become bloodshot, brightened again, and the breath of alcohol spewed out of his nostrils and mouth became indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

This means that the alcohol that has just entered the body is completely broken down. It sounds amazing, but for the black particles that dominate the cell, it's just a potential defense mechanism. They differentiate alcohol in a short period of time, collect its useful components, discard impurities, and quickly convert them into urine and sweat. The former goes to bladder storage, while the latter is excreted by sweat glands.

A muscular colonel came over with a cup to toast, Su Hao naturally couldn't refuse, so he filled the teapot again and drank it all.

"I'm amazed at how much you drink."

When Su Hao sat down, Liu Jiangyuan had already unscrewed the lid of another bottle of liquor, and said in a tone of exclamation: "The face is not red, the breath is not panting, I feel that drinking alcohol is no different from drinking water." Hell, I should have known you sooner, I like to deal with people who don't drink and don't spill around. ”

Su Hao's eyes flickered with light: "It's not too late." ”

Liu Jiangyuan shook his head while pouring him wine: "It's different now than before." Food and supplies are available in limited quantities, and alcohol is no exception. There aren't many times when we can have a dinner like this. Well, these wines are the quota we have saved for two years. If it weren't for the fact that today's battle was really enjoyable, I'm afraid it would have to be put on for a while, and no one would be willing to drink. ”

Su Hao looked at Liu Jiangyuan, nodded silently, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

The meat is cut very large, the chef's skills are also good, the sauce is fresh and thick, fat but not greasy, and Su Hao's appetite is immediately raised.

"We're lucky compared to those who have died."

Su Hao took a big mouthful of rice with the gravy in the bowl, and said slowly and vaguely: "At least we still have meat to eat now, and it tastes good." ”

Liu Jiangyuan didn't seem to be too hungry, he put down his chopsticks and lit a cigarette: "We can't take care of everyone, we can only give priority to ensuring the supply of troops." Those who survive must face hunger, disease, and cold, even if they are not infected and become zombies...... I don't think it's a bliss, it's more like torture. ”

Su Hao was noncommittal to these words.

He has seen too much tragedy and disaster, and no matter how he evaluates it, he feels that it is not appropriate and necessary. After all, everyone's experience is opaque, and their perception and understanding are different

Su Hao shifted the topic to the pork in the vegetable pot. He picked up a piece of meat, looked at it for a few seconds, and said, "All mammals can be vectors of the virus." Domestic animals have stronger overall immunity than humans, but they have little resistance to specific viruses. When I used to wander around the city, I saw quite a few infected animals. They're actually zombies in a different form, no different from those monsters.

Liu Jiangyuan pushed the cigarette case and lighter towards Su Hao's hand, and kept nodding: "When the base was first built, the above had already seen this situation. According to the order issued at the time, livestock farms built underground must be equipped with a high-temperature disinfection system, the entire space is isolated from the outside world, and the feed is produced by the building's internal circulation system and energy equipment. We have encountered this situation you mentioned———— at that time, all the more than 20 pigs that were set up on the ground for experimental observation were mutated. They grow fangs and attack everything they can see

"A livestock farm set up underground?"

Su Hao said seemingly casually: "The output must not be very much...... Although artificial light and moisture can be satisfied, after all, space is limited. Raising livestock on the base is a real luxury, and if these resources are used to produce food, more people can be fed. ”

"The scale of construction in each base city is different, and the production capacity is also different. New Chengdu is a large-scale base city, and planning and construction began several years ago. It's different here in Nanyang, when I took over, it was only a year and a half before the virus broke out. Although there are sufficient materials, there are not enough manpower. I had no choice but to risk leaking secrets and recruit a large number of workers in the local area in the name of "developing real estate". For this reason, the military department specially sent someone to examine me. But the situation at that time was like that, and whoever came over would not have done better, so these things would not have been resolved, and I became more emboldened, and Yu Crisp carried out unified management of the abandoned mining area in the name of the military, in fact, it was to use the mine and the existing tunnels to develop a second base......"

Fighting and talking shortened the distance between each other, and Liu Jiangyuan's attitude became kind. He didn't notice the hidden meaning of Su Hao's words at all, just regarded them as a kind of idle chat.

In peacetime, these words are tantamount to divulging secrets.

Now, Base City has become the most desirable place for refugees.

Su Hao nodded again and again with emotion: "The design capacity of the Nanyang base can only meet the needs of 500,000 people. The photosynthetic layered liquid planting technique shortens the growing period of crops and increases the yield significantly, but there are always many inconveniences for the farm to be set up underground. What's more, there are all sorts of armament workshops. At that time, I am afraid that no one would have thought that today's consumption would be so huge? ”

The relevant data of each base city is recorded in the computers of the future world, and they are almost semi-public, and they are no longer classified as confidential.

"yes"

A thoughtful look appeared on Liu Jiangyuan's face: "Although many bases have been built in advance, the materials produced are still not enough to meet the consumption of the population. The viral storm forced us to abandon our cities and destroyed the framework of the entire society. We can't help every refugee, and if they don't want to starve to death, they have to find the safest place possible to farm themselves. ”

Su Hao squinted at Liu Jiangyuan, carefully searching for every trace of information in his eyes.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Huh?"

"I need a set of breeding recycling equipment for a military farm."

Su Hao used chopsticks to pick up the uneaten rice grains in the bowl, and said calmly: "I have stayed in an abandoned city. At that time, I had to go out almost every day to look for food and water, and there was less and less to eat, and occasionally catching a few mice was already a good harvest. ”

Liu Jiangyuan turned his head and looked at Su Hao's gaze a little complicated.

"Do you know what you're talking about? That kind of equipment is a military item and cannot be opened to civilians.

"I've also tried to plant a few acres of land. A few friends and I drove into the city agricultural materials company to look for seeds, where there were a lot of zombies. We didn't have guns, our weapons were just sticks and knives. There were two people who had been bitten and they kept in the back, desperately shouting for us to leave. Their blood soaked the sacks containing the seeds, wet and heavy. ”

"The ban from the military department is very strict. Food, weapons, and medicines are all under control. You have to understand that this is not cold-blooded, nor is it hard-hearted. There are too many refugees, and they are no longer in the thousands, but in the form of "100 million". Even with all your might, only a small part can be saved. But does it seem fair to others? There is only one chance to survive, and there are hundreds of people who are helped. To whom, exactly? Or use this as the focus of contradictions, causing a new round of killing among them

"The land outside the city is fertile and the corn is growing well. I really appreciate the hard work of work. Just as the harvest was about to be harvested, a horde of zombies destroyed hope. Overnight, we lost faith in our future and survival, some became decadent, some went crazy, and some jumped off rooftops...... Luckily, some of my research was favored by the Academy of Sciences, and the officers of the city monitoring station recommended me to the base. Then I can sit here and enjoy what many people dream of. ”

Su Hao and Liu Jiangyuan each said their own words, without evaluating or agreeing with each other, as if they hadn't heard anything. The officers next to him talked much quieter, and their faces invariably showed thoughtful expressions.

After a moment of silence, Liu Jiangyuan pushed away his chair and stood up. He looked around and said to everyone in his usual calm tone: "Let's go here today, go back to our respective posts, and don't relax and slack off just because we have won." Keep an eye out for consolidating your positions, sending more patrols, and maintaining the highest level of alert, and the new battle plan will be released tomorrow to let the lads get a good night's sleep, but even with their eyes closed, they must stay awake enough. ”

The officers responded one after another, left their respective seats according to the order, picked up their military caps and coats, greeted Su Hao separately, and walked towards the gate.

Soon, the bustling restaurant had become deserted, and only Liu Jiangyuan and Su Hao were left.

Liu Jiangyuan put away the cigarette lighter on the table and put on his military hat. He squinted his eyes and looked at Su Hao, his expression was very serious, and his face was tense, as if Su Hao was a prisoner standing in front of the judge waiting to be tried.

"The ban of the military department is not child's play, you shouldn't have told me this in front of so many people. When you told me about the plan last week, I sent a telegram to the new Chengdu side asking for information. Commander Xu Renjie praised you very much in his reply. The telegram was accompanied by your personal file and other relevant information. I understand your thoughts, but many things are not achievable by ideals alone. Here, you've shown enough value to be in a high-intensity battle with zero casualties and tens of thousands of mutant creatures killed to ⊥ the military look at you differently. I know you want to do something for the people in the abandoned city, but it's not right now, it's really not suitable. ”

Su Hao's expression seemed to be smiling, and he didn't say anything.

Liu Jiangyuan straightened his clothes and led the manner, and strode past him.

The moment the shoulders of the two people met, a word with a rapid tone and a slight voice drilled into Su Hao's ears.

"On Highway 45L to Highway 11 West, there is an abandoned gas station that has been converted into a temporary warehouse. There are two sets of equipment out there that you want. The handover of troops will take place tomorrow at 3 p.m. Those things are not important items on the transfer order, and you have an hour and a half to use. Remember———— I never said this to you, everything is your personal act. ”

The next day, set a time.

As Liu Jiangyuan said, the soldiers guarding the warehouse left on time and the whole team went to the defensive position to the south. Under the pretext of receiving ammunition, Su Hao slowly entered the warehouse with a heavy container truck carrying empty containers.

There, Su Hao found two sets of military farm energy circulation equipment. They were disassembled into parts of various sizes and placed next to mountains of various supplies.

Everything went smoothly, and the officer on duty did not enter the storeroom to check from beginning to end. When Su Hao drove out of the reservoir area with the convoy, he just signed the time and name on the material allocation form, and then ordered the soldiers at the outpost to let him go.

Su Hao assigned Zhang Nanyi's squadron to be responsible for the escort. The truck will drive south along the highway. At the third fork, they will meet the answering personnel sent by Lao Song. As for the rest of the matter, there is no need for Su Hao to worry about it

The positions of the 11th Separate Army remained the same. In addition to setting up mines as usual, the soldiers have an additional mission———— searching for silver bone hedron from the corpses of mutant creatures.

"What a very interesting guy."

The test tube containing the worm Haig was inserted in the inner pocket of Su Hao's clothes, and the fat worm also participated in yesterday's dinner and knew exactly what had happened.

Su Hao looked at the soldiers walking back and forth in the pile of corpses not far away, and silently exchanged consciousness with Haig.

"He knew he shouldn't have done that, but he still gave the master information. To put it mildly, it's called self-theft. ”

"There's no doubt he's not going to do that to anyone for no reason. In a way, this should be considered a reward for the success of your battle plan. Hehe, I don't know if I'm right to say that? ”

"He has a good impression of the host you. Oh...... I'm definitely not talking about the physiology of sexuality, but the senses, the impressions. ”

The white fat bug kept chattering, and all kinds of unhesitating praise filled Su Hao's brain. It analyzes Liu Jiangyuan's personality like a detective, looking for weaknesses, and even veteran police detectives are ashamed of their sophistication.

Su Hao didn't argue with Haig. He had been standing in the breeze, silently looking into the distance.

The farm energy circulation system is not a high-tech product. It is actually an integration of a series of indoor agricultural and animal husbandry techniques such as drip irrigation, artificial sunlight, ventilation, and liquid farming. With Su Hao's ability, it can be produced by using the machinery and equipment that has been occupied in Kunming. However, it is crude and takes time and resources.

According to the plan formulated by Su Hao when he left, Dong Guoping carried out a new round of renovation of the "castle". The goal is to make the "castle" a large shelter on the same level as the base city. Surface buildings cannot be compared to underground defenses, and workshops and farms placed on the underground level will not be noticed. This is the experience of the future world, and it is also the goal that the "swarm" will achieve next.

Of course, Su Hao was not as reckless as Liu Jiangyuan imagined. The reason why he said that in public was largely the result of his review of computer files in the future world.

The soldiers are not cold-blooded, and although they have undergone brainwashing training, they still have sympathy for civilians. According to incomplete records, almost all units have been helped by civilians. Support items include food, medicine, oil, etc. Despite repeated orders from the military department to strictly prohibit such acts, no one was ever punished, let alone dismissed or locked up.

Asking Liu Jiangyuan for help is a kind of temptation under the premise of absolute certainty.
