A violent air currents swept through the entire city wall. It swept away the despair in the brigadier general's mind like a hurricane, pushing the mutated creatures gathered around it to the ground. Against the backdrop of the inky blue sky before dawn, the view was blocked by blood, and the hazy brigadier in front of him could only see a vague black shadow. But by the sound of the engine turning, he could still tell that it was a powerful "Nighthawk" helicopter.

More than a dozen tongues of fire appeared in the sky, and it was the roar of heavy machine guns and multi-barreled machine guns. In a matter of seconds, the mutated creatures surrounding the brigadier were knocked backwards, leaving an irregular circle with him at its core. The searchlights on the sides and front of the helicopter then change direction, illuminating the ground, creating huge circles of light in the shape of ovals.

Just as the brigadier general was dazed, struggling to adjust his breathing in excitement and exhaustion, a dozen ropes hung down from the air, and one after another heavily armed soldiers fell. As soon as they landed, they quickly formed a defensive line, grabbed the gun mounts, and rained bullets at the retreating mutant creatures.

It's reinforcements.

They're finally here.

As soon as this thought popped into his mind, the brigadier general suddenly felt his body go limp, and he fell to the ground with a "plop". A paramedic wearing a red cross armband on his arm rushed over to examine the wound and quickly provide assistance

The nerves that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed, and the brigadier general lifted his eyelids vigorously to see a tall figure walking towards him.

It was a very handsome man. He has a sunny smile, a hard facial line that seems to be carved by a knife and an axe, and a curved lip with an indescribable strange charm. The hazy vision makes the target less clear, but adds a bit of mystical beauty.

That face was familiar. The brigadier was sure he must have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. His gaze began to drift to the side, and he realized that the man actually wore the rank of major general on his shoulder.

this guy is so young.

"Ahem...... Ahem...... Lao Tzu is in his forties, and he has just mixed up with the brigadier general, and you fucking climbed on Lao Tzu's head. It's fucking unfair. ”

The brigadier general gasped and cursed fiercely, and a smile appeared on his tired pale face. He raised his right hand, stretched it out tremblingly, and said with great gratitude, "Welcome back, General Su." ”

Brigadier General is Xu Renjie's cronies, and of course he will not forget Su Hao's too young face.

Putting down the assault rifle in his hand, Su Hao held the brigadier general's right hand hard, and comforted him with emotion: "You fought very well and held the city." ”

The brigadier general swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva and smiled "hehe": "How could I leave this here to those damn monsters?" However, did you watch too many Indian cop movies on your dog days? Just like those unscrupulous cops, they always appear at the end of the day? ”

"I'm already racing against time, you have to be considerate of me."

"Devils believe ......"

was able to rush to New Chengdu from the new Guiyang base overnight, thanks to the large amount of ordnance materials donated by Wang Qinian. In addition to ten sets of large-scale base construction components, among the computer materials given to Su Hao by the old fat man, there are also some weapon design drawings that are strictly controlled by the military department. Among them, there are super-large transport helicopters, as well as the "Nighthawk", which has been put into use in large quantities.

According to the plan, the new 70L Buchong Division of the Yellow River will arrive at the new Chengdu base two hours later. Despite Xu Renjie's repeated urgings, the Yellow River Division was still unable to further increase its speed. In order to alleviate the combat pressure in the base city, Su Hao concentrated all the helicopters he got from Xinnanyang and the Eastern Theater, together with the two "Nighthawks" that had just been produced and rolled off the production line, and rushed to the new Chengdu base city overnight with more than 1,200 security personnel

He came just in time. If it is a few minutes late, the lot will be completely lost. Once the mutated creatures flood the city, the problem will become out of control.

Looking at the brigadier general who was carried on a stretcher and was about to be sent to the field hospital in the city, Su Hao asked, "Where is Xu Renjie?" What about your reserves? ”

"All reserves were thrown into battle. Those who can get on it are all on it, and the entire military zone is empty. Many of the guards were emptied, and even the damned thugs felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they had the courage to loot in the city. ”

The brigadier general raised his arm that had just been wrapped in bandages, and a puzzled look appeared on his face: "As for Commander Xu...... Since he left the Provisional Command, we have lost contact and have not been in telecommunications. I'm also curious to know what exactly he's doing now. ”

Military control zone, ground command center of the army group.

Xu Renjie, with his messy hair, sat on the floor, his chair tilted to the side, his heavy desk shattered, and the floor was littered with documents and wood chips. They were mixed with minced blood and flesh, and they looked shocking

He was unable to move———— more than a dozen large-caliber bullets hit his legs in a row, shattering everything from bones to muscles. The scattered shrapnel even wounded the abdomen, blasting a fist-sized hole in the right flank. Although Xu Renjie stuffed the outflow of intestines back, there was still pus and blood mixed with liver fragments slowly overflowing.

The young adjutant was lying next to a bookcase a dozen meters away. There was a terrifying hole in his chest, and the tremendous impact pressure caused the blood mixed with the air in his lungs to burst from his body. His entire head flew off his shoulders and was thrown high into the air, smashing to the floor not far from Xu Renjie. The adjutant stared at him until he died, obviously not understanding why he would die? Those soldiers who were supposed to be companions, why would they become murderers who shot themselves?

Chen Yanlin sat in a chair a few meters away, holding a freshly fired large-caliber pistol with gunpowder smoke and warmth.

He wore a special combat uniform specially issued for generals. The bloated body is tightly wrapped in high-elastic fabric, and the ceramic protective armor pieces arranged according to the physiological structure of the human body make the chest appear full and strong, but against the background of the wrinkled face, it makes people feel a strong contrast of great incongruity.

According to Xu Renjie's order, the adjutant brought Chen Yanlin into the office. From the sudden attack to the end of the battle, it was no more than five seconds. Xu Renjie didn't even have a chance to draw a gun, but he was shot in both legs by two soldiers who rushed into the office. When he struggled to activate the electronic protection system on the desk, he was pounced by Chen Yanlin at an extremely strange speed and forcibly pulled the whole person away from the chair. Then, smash the entire desk.

Xu Renjie's reaction was very fast, and he was seriously injured and dying, and he immediately took a bottle of energy medicine that he carried with him, and he has survived until now.

"Damn, I'm actually looking away."

Xu Renjie's voice was hoarse, and his tone was extremely weak, but there was undisguised ridicule between his words: "I always thought that Lao Chen, you were a waste. I didn't expect you to be a lackey. Tell me, who is the master behind you? Yuan Zhicheng? Sun Zhan? Or Zhao Zhikai? ”

"You're thinking too much."

Chen Yanlin shook his head, slowly fiddled with the barrel on the pistol, and said lightly: "What do they have to do with me?" I'm just targeting you, and that's my own plan. Don't forget, I am the chief of staff of the 71st Army, a think-tank figure. ”

"Thinker? You changed your name to the scrotum. ”

Xu Renjie took a sip hatefully: "You are lifeless all day long, except for making small moves behind your back, you won't even fart." What I hate most is that you are like a mouse, hiding in a hole in the ground all day long, unable to see the sun, and having a dark psychology. ”

The corners of Chen Yanlin's eyes twitched slightly. He forcibly suppressed the urge to blow Xu Renjie's head with one shot, and released a very complicated gaze in his eyes, silently staring at the captive in front of him.

I don't know which bastard invented the word "contradiction", it's a fucking classic.

"Actually, I've always envied you."

In the face of Xu Renjie's vicious and vulgar curse, Chen Yanlin, who looked indifferent, did not scold, nor did he rush into anger. He put away the gun in his hand, took a piece of chocolate from the war backpack on the side of his combat suit, opened the wrapper, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

"When I was younger, I always thought I was good. In school, he was a three-good student, and his score never dropped below ninety in any test subject. When I graduated from university, I could have chosen to go out to further my studies or work for a monopoly in China. With my abilities and qualifications, I could be an authority in a certain field of study, or an executive in a corporate group. ”

"However, I chose to join the army."

"I majored in economics. This has nothing to do with the military aspect at all. Even though I was already an officer when I joined the army, the government praised me as a college student soldier. But those are all false. I have always held myself to the strictest standards, and I have taken the initiative to participate in training and to serve in grassroots units...... Hehe, do you even feel your blood boiling when you hear it? That's right, that's how I was back then. All in my mind are the great ideals of defending the homeland and defending the country, the honor of the country above all else, and the struggle for the strong take-off of the motherland. If you don't believe me, I can show you the diary from that time. I also thought about one day becoming a general, leading troops to land in Japan, occupying Tokyo, selling the emperor's family to Thailand to be ladyboys, and then turning to the North American continent and blowing up the American Independence Monument in Washington for our own five-star red flag. ”

Xu Renjie did not interrupt Chen Yanlin's words. The energy potion injected into his body takes time to repair damaged organs, and he himself is somewhat curious about Chen Yanlin's words, wanting to hear what this power-hungry "partner" will say?

"My promotion in the military has always been step-by-step. No matter how good I did, I never had the opportunity to receive an award for meritorious service. I calculated that according to the situation at that time, by the time of retirement, I would have the rank of colonel at most. And, it depends on luck. This confuses me. Because another young officer who came in at the same time was not as good as me in terms of education and qualifications, and the subjects he studied were also not related to military affairs. He is a special sports student, and he plays table tennis very well. In the second year of enlistment, he was selected by the above, participated in international competitions, and came back with a runner-up in the world. And then it was mixed all the way. By the time I was in my forties and still struggling in the lieutenant colonel position, this guy had already become a major general. ”

"Later, I found out that there was someone on top of that guy. Otherwise, things like going abroad to compete will not be his turn at all, let alone any exceptional promotion. ”

"Commander Xu, you have a wife with a good family background. I know that your husband and wife are not in harmony, and you have a lot of women outside. I envy you and admire you very much. After all, at your age, it does take a lot of courage to be willing to give up love and love for the sake of power, not to be cheeky, and to marry a woman you don't like, or even hate. I don't know how your wedding night came about. Your wife's appearance is indeed unflattering, and that kind of woman feels disgusting just thinking about it. If it weren't for the relationship between the high and powerful behind her, I am afraid that no one would want to throw it away on the street. ”

Xu Renjie sat on the ground, not moving at all, and asked with a sneer: "Are you laughing at me?" ”

Chen Yanlin shook his head: "Before, I did look down on you. I feel that by doing so, I am simply selling my dignity, giving up my freedom, and trampling on my life. Young people dare to despise everything, and their pure minds do not tolerate any filth and dirt. You have also experienced that time, but you can be the best thing in your life, and you are willing to accept the ridicule of others. This is called "no give, no gain". Sadly, I realized it too late. ”

Xu Renjie continued to sneer: "So, you also chose to go along with it? ”

"I'm just trying to live like a real person."

Chen Yanlin turned sideways, looked out the window at the dark blue sky, and was completely immersed in the depths of his memories of the past: "At the class reunion that year, I was the worst achievement among everyone. I haven't seen each other for a few years, some of them have become entrepreneurs, some have become doctors, and many of them have successful careers, happy marriages and families. I'm the only one who is still alone, and my salary is pitiful. I began to feel that I had made a mistake. Many of my classmates felt sorry for me, thinking that joining the army was simply self-buried. I really can't find a second way other than to abandon my dignity and exchange the future for bribery and flattery, which I despise the most. ”

Xu Renjie took a deep breath, the wound on his abdomen was no longer bleeding, but his body still felt weak. He moved back, leaning against the wall, with a playful look on his face: "So, you and I are the same kind of people?" ”

"You are a very power-hungry person."

Chen Yanlin did not answer Xu Renjie's question, he said slowly: "You control the entire army, and you are not willing to give up the slightest authority. Almost all the middle and senior officers of the 71st Army are your people. You have spent a lot of energy and thought to turn the new Chengdu base into an iron bucket that water cannot spill. You don't need any deputy position at all, let alone me, the chief of staff. I don't mean to rebuke you, I just admire your actions. Hehe life is my best teacher, and I have learned a lot from you. Any theory needs to be validated from practice. Now, it's time for me to use them as an aid

Saying that, Chen Yanlin smiled meaninglessly, and said in a calm and powerful tone, without any doubt: "For the sake of colleagues, I don't want to kill you." Open the central information network and inform the whole army: From now on, the 71 st Group Army will be transferred to our command. Also, don't forget to add that you're seriously injured. ”

Xu Renjie picked up his blown off left leg, stirred the soft medulla in the center of the broken bone with his fingers, and asked casually, "This is your purpose?" ”

Chen Yanlin looked at him calmly: "Don't think about delaying time. You still have six minutes and twenty-two seconds to think about. If you still refuse when the time comes, I will kill you first, and then inform the whole army in the name of the chief of staff. Doing that, of course, will be a lot of trouble. There are a few guys who are loyal to you who are sure to jump out and question it. However, as long as they get the appointment and dismissal documents from the military department, it is useless for them to do anything. ”

Xu Renjie put away the sarcasm and indifference on his face, and his expression began to become serious. It can be seen that Chen Yanlin's words are definitely not intimidation and threats, but real thoughts that may assist the action at any time. It is true that things will change, as he said, on the premise of his own death.

"I have to thank Su Hao."

Chen Yanlin came up again: "If it weren't for what he did at the new Guiyang base, I really couldn't be ruthless and made the decision now." It's as simple as that, either get rid of you, force you to issue a similar order, and put you under house arrest. It's not peacetime, and except for people who are very close to you, hardly anyone pays attention to the lives of others. Su Hao taught me a lesson with practical actions———— if it weren't for his boldness, he would not have been able to climb to the throne of a general in just a few years, let alone become the commander of a group army with heavy troops. ”

The last few sentences are indeed Chen Yanlin's true thoughts.

Long-term remote communication with Sun Zhan has broadened Chen Yanlin's vision, and his perspective on problems has gradually shifted.

Sun Zhan paid great attention to conversation skills, and he never mentioned topics such as power struggles in the military department. At best, it is very vague and very small is mixed in the inconsequential content. The timing he chooses is often when Chen Yanlin's spirit is highly concentrated. After several private conversations, Chen Yanlin completely dispelled his doubts and scruples about Sun Zhan and began to re-examine his position in the 71st Group Army. and intentionally or unintentionally narrowed the relationship with Sun Zhan, wanting to get help from the military department.

This is a very clever psychological suggestion. If it weren't for the special environment in which Chen Yanlin lived, Sun Zhan's suggestive techniques would not have had an effect. The reason for doing so is, of course, to stimulate and promote Chen Yanlin's ambition and desire to do the following. More importantly, he still wanted to borrow this chess piece that was unconsciously used by himself to turn the muzzle of the gun and take Su Hao as the next target.
