Volume I, Section 381, War Report

"Keep what you have in your hand, and keep a little more, I'll think about it. If things do get out of hand, maybe I really need it. And the Nightshade. ”

Perhaps having already spoken, Wang Qinian became more and more calm: "Things have come to this point, and the so-called secrets can almost be answered from various clues. Yes, as you mentioned in your previous document, the virus outbreak is a plan by the higher civilizations to select warriors from the human race. We are a group of test subjects, a group of guinea pigs who have been imposed danger and death. ”

Su Hao nodded and smiled approvingly: "Do you remember what you said to me before?" You suspect that the earth is a huge testing ground, and the ratio of animals and plants is predetermined. There is air, water, and soil, and protein is the basis of most life. Hehe, this cycle is so perfect in normal times that it does not cause a waste of nutrients and energy, and it also forms an energy replenishment between each species. The lion eats the deer, and the deer's bones decay to feed the plants, which in turn become food for the deer...... What a perfect link loop, what a wonderful world. ”

Wang Qinian sighed heavily: "However, the virus has broken this balance. It has genes that can parasitize the human body, but cannot be destroyed by the immune system. This is the equivalent of forcibly inserting one card into a straight flush deck, or drawing one of them. The perfect cycle no longer exists zΓ i, thus forcibly appearing as an infected substance such as zombies. Grain fermentation turned into wine, and decaying human bodies fermented into mutated organisms. If you want to maintain the inherent cycle, you have to keep fighting, you have to keep killing. ”

The smile on Su Hao's face had disappeared, replaced by a faint melancholy: "We have no choice, and we can't resist." Hababanola said that he was the product of a higher civilization. Look at us the other way, isn't it the same as him? ”

Wang Qinian's face was a little gray: "This is fate." From the earliest form of the evolution of life over hundreds of millions of years, it has been fixed fate. The reason why humanity has gone through a long period of evolution is because it exists for today's battles. We are a group of species that are kept in the small space of the earth. Take a good look around us, damn gravity, hell atmosphere, and strong magnetic fields...... These are all obstacles that restrict us from leaving the Earth and finding habitable stars. It's fucking ridiculous, we've been naΓ―ve enough to think that it's all a natural phenomenon, a law that's been fixed since the beginning of the universe's formation. We...... It's just stupid

Su Hao took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked it slowly.

Smoking or not has no effect on him in the slightest. The stimulating effect of nicotine on the brain has long disappeared with the continuous evolution of the physique. But there are some habits that are hard to break. Although the smoke inhaled into the lungs is quickly broken down by the liver as a toxic substance, Su Hao still likes this practice, which has become a fixed habit.

The old fat man stared at the screen with a complicated gaze: "You went this time, can you come back?" ”

"I don't know, that guy didn't mention it, and I didn't bother to ask."

Su Hao breathed smoke from his mouth and nose, and his tone was so quiet that it seemed to be saying something else: "Maybe there will be a chance to come back." Although I am no longer fit to stay here, I still enjoy it. ”

Wang Qinian's questions were redundant, and Su Hao's answer was also wrong. They all know very well that once they leave, they will probably never come back.

Wang Qinian felt a little dampness in his eyes. Life is really wonderful, he never imagined that an old friend who was extremely close to him would be able to travel through time and space to come to his side. Give yourself help, give yourself security. Now, Su Hao is going to leave like he did when he came and go to another world.

This time, perhaps, is an eternal separation.

Holding back the thick sourness in his nostrils, Wang Qinian controlled the desire to cry while hugging the screen, struggled to control his facial muscles, and tried to squeeze out an expression of slight anger and disgust: "You better hurry up and get out of the farther the better." Now the province has to form poison on the ground when it is. Damn, it's hard to imagine a monster like you on Earth. If you spend a few months in the Amazon rainforest, the forest will disappear completely, and all species will die. ”

"Isn't that what you want?"

Su Hao flicked the cigarette ash and smiled calmly: "You can create a whole new batch of species to fill the void of those dead creatures." Let me think...... Perhaps, among the newly filled species, there should be a few monkeys that are particularly close. They look like me, like you, like Nightshade and Shinyan. Then, a monkey like mine will be stronger than a monkey like you, and the former likes to press the latter to the ground and poke it in the ass. ”

Wang Qinian was not as angry as usual. Under the table that Su Hao couldn't see, the old fat man's hands were clenched, and he used this method to control his sadness.

"It's good to get out of here."

"The Atlantean world is perhaps free of corruption, bureaucracy, disgusting hierarchies. As Plato described in the book, it is a world full of equality. ”

"Let's hope so"

On October of that year, the newly formed 70th Infantry Division, which was stationed in the southwest region and was subordinate to the 505th Group Army of the Southern Theater, announced to the world that the abandoned city of Kunming had been conquered by human troops, and all mutated creatures in the city had been wiped out.

This news shocked the world. All radio stations and communication channels relayed the battlefield footage released by the 70th Infantry Division. As many as dozens of AWACS planes circled over the abandoned city of Kunming, transmitting the footage back to the Beijing No. 1 base and relaying it to all those who followed the news.

It is still a city full of reinforced concrete buildings, and the "Golden Horse and Biji" archway as a symbol is covered with thick dirt. Vacant lots and streets are overgrown with weeds, and the wreckage of vehicles of various models clogs the highway leading to the outside. Everywhere you look, you can see yellowed human remains, skeletons filling the gaps between the brick rubble. The bloodstains on the walls have long since turned black and blurred, and signs such as "China Telecom" and "Wal-Mart" can be seen everywhere.

All AWACS aircraft sent back the same report: no traces of mutated organisms were found. There weren't even a few live mice.

Detailed monitoring of the ground is very different from high-altitude monitoring. When the existence of mutated creatures in abandoned cities becomes a fixed mindset, people no longer have hope in the cities on the surveillance screens, so it is natural to have a series of ideas such as "they are hidden in the house", "hidden in the sewers", "hidden in the backlit areas of the streets", etc. This is not the fault of one person, but a misunderstanding caused by the level of science and technology and inertial thinking. Now, the neat procession of 70 infantry divisions entering the city has crushed the wrong idea. Pairs of eyes full of doubt, ridicule, ridicule, and even disdain turned into shock and surprise. They find themselves seeing the dawn of victory in biological warfare, no longer the gloomy defeat of the past.

That city far away in the southwest once again radiated the light of civilization that human beings should have. Refugees are populated in empty buildings, and a new urban order is being established. People are working in the fields outside the city, the long-dormant hydropower station is back to work, and the roaring construction machinery is dragging abandoned vehicles on the road one by one, and traffic between the base cities of Chengdu and Guiyang is restored.

"It's impossible, I don't believe it's true."

"You blind people with open eyes, take a good look at the screen, this qiΔ“ is true. They did it, those Chinese did it. ”

"No, this must be a hoax by the Chinese side. They deliberately lured us into attacking abandoned cities, deliberately deceiving us into wasting our troops in vain in offensive battles. Everyone knows the power of mutated creatures, and they simply can't do that. ”

"I see hope that we can win the war. It was the first abandoned city to be restored. In the future, there will be a second, a third......"

Many people questioned this image. Governments and militaries have raised questions. After more than three years of war, humans have become very familiar with mutated creatures. The word "liberation" and a video really don't say anything. Many people ridiculed and ridiculed this, but deep down they desperately hoped that it was true.

The old television set obtained from the abandoned city has become the new favorite among the refugees. The Southern Theater broadcasts this content on a non-stop rolling basis around the clock on civilian channels, and with the support of several communication satellites from the Academy of Sciences, anyone can see and hear it on television and radio. Unlike the official ones, such news has sparked an unimaginable frenzy among refugees. After a brief period of shock, people instinctively became suspicious of the news itself. However, the words of encouragement and excitement on the TV and radio can't help but make people dilute their doubts, and their thoughts and feelings become more enthusiastic.

A lot of people were crying, and many more were laughing. The long-constrained nervous thinking is vividly released at this moment. They think of their loved ones who died during the outbreak of the virus, of their friends who have become zombies, of their own tragic experiences, and that life goes on forever, in the darkness and pain...... However, even when I was desperate, I also saw hope.

"We can win, we can win"

"See? Those monsters are no match for us, we have taken a city, and we will continue to fight until we kill each and every one of them. ”

"I ...... Woo woo I'm going home."

Surveillance satellites orbiting the Earth have detected a sea change on the ground: on the same day, almost at the same time, almost all the refugees outside the base city in Chinese mainland are moving in the same direction.

It was an incomparably large flow of people. There are tens of millions of them. So much so that on the footage taken by the surveillance satellite, a gray-brown ribbon was formed.

To the southwest, in the southern theater of operations, where there is our hope to store zΓ i.

We can go back to the city, and we don't have to live the same hardships as before.

Of course, it is impossible to return to the period of civilization overnight. But we have seen the light and the future.

Almost everyone had fluid rolling in their eyes, and confidence was swelling in their chests at the same time. From the north to the south, there was no transportation, no food supplies, and many people would die on the road, but people still stubbornly moved in that direction.

The military department was alarmed by the situation.

In the core conference room of the Beijing No. 1 base, several meetings have been held in a row. The discussion was nothing more than attitudes towards refugees, and what should be done to deal with them. However, every time the discussion was fruitless, all the participants felt a headache and could not come up with an effective solution.

Even Zhao Zhikai's square and strict face showed a trace of distress that he had never felt before.

The complete abandonment of the populace is a rule of war that was laid down long before the outbreak of the virus.

Don't be skeptical or laughed at by such rules. This is the final conclusion reached by the huge think tank of the core group of the five countries through countless calculations and deductions. Computers have calculated all possible dependencies between refugees and the junta, and this is the only way to maintain force and order. As long as they had food and water, production bases, and absolute superiority in force, refugees could only be forced to submit to the will of the rulers. Give them a piece of bread and they will shout "Hurrah" to you in unison. It is also a piece of bread, and they will be sent to death without fear according to your command.

However, the current situation is very different from the treatment method that was analyzed at that time. Yes, the computer has calculated a similar situation, and the results that can be deduced are not at all what they are now.

Refugees should be more enthusiastic about supporting the junta and signing up for the army more enthusiastically, rather than moving to the city that has just been declared "liberated".

Could it be that we are wrong?

"Guys, it's not as bad as we thought."

An elderly lieutenant general with crispy flesh and a rather fat body broke the silence first. In order to draw the attention of the other attendees, he coughed heavily and said in an extremely loud voice: "The sources of the refugees are very narrow, and they can only judge the problem by hearsay. I think that the mass migration of refugees is a good thing for us. Since the issuance of the daily food ration order, the food reserves at the Beijing No. 1 base have been insufficient. As of last week, more than 1.3 million refugees were waiting to receive rations on the outskirts of the base. Their storage has put us under tremendous logistical pressure. Even the rate of personnel transfer, fuel supply and machinery maintenance has increased dramatically. Take a look at the latest satellite surveillance photos, the periphery of the Beijing No. 1 base has become a large garbage dump. Thousands of violent cases of rape, robbery, and murder erupt every day, and there have even been a few egregious incidents of refugees snatching the weapons of the guards at night. Our response was nothing more than imprisonment, detention and shooting of those involved. With all due respect, death is no longer a threat to these wandering people in the wilderness. They are not afraid of death at all. Ending life with a bullet is a relatively luxurious way to die in their opinion. They are more afraid of hunger, thirst, and physical and mental torture. ”

The lieutenant general sat in the seat that originally belonged to Sun Zhan. In fact, he did replace the dead Sun Zhan and became a new member of the military committee. Like the previous owner of this chair, the lieutenant general was an administrative official who did not hold real power within the army. The existence of a person like him is only to maintain the normal functioning of the authority of the Commission. In particular, when a resolution has to be voted on, the ability to approve or reject it can be exerted.

The lieutenant general's remarks are quite novel. Even Zhao Zhikai felt that his eyes lit up, and he felt that it was indeed a wise move to pull this guy into the committee from the Administration Department. After all, judging from the words just now, it is indeed obviously more level than that of ordinary members of the military department.

Successfully attracted everyone's attention, which made the lieutenant general feel very comfortable, and there was a kind of arrogance that was quite satisfied. He pretended to calmly pick up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a stern and tough tone that still remained on his face: "The news of the 505 Group Army's release of the occupation of the abandoned city of Kunming must be false. The city was still overrun by mutated creatures, and they were only issuing this information to cover up the incompetence of the high-ranking commanders in combat. I'm afraid that even they didn't expect that once the news was released, it would attract so many refugees? We can do what we can do to drive tens of millions of refugees in that direction. Those guys are just a swarm of locusts. Wherever they went, it became a blank field. Since Su Hao, the commander of the 505 Group Army, has been disobeying orders, let him take these refugees to his own destruction. When the time comes......

"Enough"

The bright light that had just flickered in Zhao Zhikai's eyes had dimmed. He waved his hand impatiently, signaling the lieutenant general to shut up, and his face became ugly.

I thought it was a smart guy. Unexpectedly, he was still a short-sighted idiot.

What is the benefit of pushing all the refugees to Su Hao?

Su Hao's attitude towards refugees has always been that they do not refuse to come. When the new Guiyang base was just being built, he dared to directly confront the military department in order to feed 300,000 civilians. Now, with tens of millions of civilians to rely on, who else will he be afraid of? What else is there to fear?

Don't forget, the current new Guiyang is not what it was at the beginning of construction. The production capacity there is very huge, and there is Xu Renjie, a bastard who specializes in licking Su Hao's stinky feet, behind him. If nothing else, the food output of these two large base cities alone can barely sustain the daily consumption of about eight million people. What's more, Su Hao has dispersed his troops since half a year ago, and dozens of large and small base cities have been established in a row. When it comes to food, there is no need to worry at all.
