"I originally thought that your parents were skewed in biological research and future predictions———— because zombies are not that strong, they have no intelligence, and it is only a matter of time before humans defeat them. However, the problem is getting worse. Blood corpses and humanoids continue to appear, and the military has also found silver bones. It all shows that your parents are right. As the sole heir of the family, you have to take on more responsibilities. ”

Sibo didn't speak.

He instinctively felt timid and intimidated.

Standing on the roof of a building and looking at the huge corpses like a tide at your feet are two different things from facing those terrifying monsters up close.

Lowering his head and looking at his slender, fair-skinned, well-maintained hands, Sibo only felt how ridiculous reality and ideals were———— let an artist fight zombies. This, this, this......

Humans are terrified in the face of the unknown. Spire is no exception.

He started smoking. Soon the study was filled with smoke, and the ashtray was stuffed with cigarette butts.

The long silence made the old man lose the desire to continue discussing all the issues.

Gao Tianxing leaned on the sofa with his hands crossed, silently staring at the young man in front of him. In the depths of the eyes, there is a constant shift of complex meanings. There is kindness, severity, expectation, and emotion......

From a very young age, Gao Tianxing raised Sibo to grow up. The relationship between two people is more like that of father and son than between master and servant. For Sibo, Gao Tianxing has always had an indescribable feeling, he doesn't want this child to bear too much responsibility, and wants him to grow up happily like an ordinary person.

For more than ten years, Gao Tianxing has indeed done this.

Spiro has shown surprising talent in many things. Language, art, business management, and scheming are far stronger than those so-called "elites".

According to the will left by Sibo's parents, the entire family consortium should have terminated various business projects more than ten years ago and invested all the funds in material accumulation and personnel training.

As Gao Tianxing said, this practice is undoubtedly giving away huge profits in vain. Then, like the old fortune of the landlord in the countryside, he exchanged all the money for land and lived on the annual rent.

As it turned out, Sibo's parents were right.

However, due to doubts about whether what is said in the will will will really come true. Gao Tianxing made an assertion and divided the assets of the entire consortium into two halves. Only 50 percent of them were invested in the industrialization of capital. As for the remaining half, it has been completely wiped out with the chaos and disorder caused by the outbreak of the virus.

Suddenly, Gao Tianxing leaned out of the sofa and slapped Sibo in the face.

It was a surprising move.

Sibo looked at the old man in astonishment, he covered his hot and slightly hot face, his eyes full of disbelief.

Since childhood, Gao Tianxing has always assumed the role of his protector.

He was kind and forgiven no matter what he did wrong. Every time you do it right, you get a lot more compliments and praise than others.

"I'm stupid. I've done it wrong once, and I can't do it a second time. ”

Gao Tianxing's eyes were rapidly congested. He glared at Sibo viciously, like an enraged lion: "If you were my own son, I would not hesitate to give you a whip." And yet you are not. You don't have the surname "Gao", your surname is "Si". You have your parents' blood in your veins. They are the best people I have ever met. So far, nothing has been left out of what they have predicted, and every single one has become a reality. Your father said that sooner or later, zombies will appear in this world. They can destroy the fabric of society, bringing unimaginable disasters and chaos. And your mother has been working to prevent this from happening. She wants to save the world, and her research direction has gradually shifted to finding a solution from the zombie itself. ”

"She's right———— the military has found the silver bone and the hedrons. I don't know what hedron does, but I've already tested the silver bone on several of my subordinates. This kind of thing strengthens the bones and nerve centers, which means that your mother's research direction is not deviated in the slightest. She is the greatest biologist in this world. From the first order to the fourth order of strengthening potions, she left the most detailed data. The research on the fifth-order enhancement potion was only halfway through before it was forced to stop...... It's not her fault, it's the military and government crooks and robbers. They...... They...... They...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Gao Tianxing, who was agitated, coughed violently. He covered his mouth suddenly, but a large cloud of blood spurted from between his fingers.

Seeing this, Sibo hurriedly took out his handkerchief and jumped over to wipe the saliva and blood from the corners of his mouth and face for him.

This act of kindness and care did not produce the desired effect in the slightest. When the nerves that were twitching violently eased slightly, Gao Tianxing immediately rounded his arm and slapped Sibo again.

"Have you forgotten what I used to say to you when I was a child? This world is full of crises, but also full of opportunities. You don't have to live a mediocre life, you have the potential to be a leader. Your parents left you a large inheritance, money, and research materials that the military would envy. Why do I want you to major in biology? It's so that you can decipher what they've left behind. That's yours is yours ————"

Gao Tianxing gasped violently, he pushed away Sibo and stretched out his hand to support him again, with a weak and sarcastic smile on his face: "You think you are very smart and can see everything very thoroughly? That's just self-deception. Remember Lin Feihu? You annexed "Sheng Fei" and used the remaining resources to let Ouyang Junlin deal with related matters...... That's right, this approach maximizes business profits ⊥. But the result? The entire mercenary team disappeared completely, and no one sent back any news, and no one knew what had happened to them in the Kunming area. They were killed? Or is it besieged by mutated creatures? What are the forces in that area? We don't know anything about it...... You think you're clever at dealing with it, but reality is like a mirror that gives the clearest answer. You....... You're just a small businessman. You, you don't deserve the surname Si ———— at all"

I don't know where the strength of Lu Dao came from, Gao Tianxing suddenly grabbed Sibo's shoulders and looked at him with extremely painful and disappointed eyes for a long time.

The old man's lips were distended and trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't speak, but his eyes were covered with bloodshots. The reddish gaze was as sharp as a knife, and it went straight into Sibo's pupils.

It's a terrible feeling. Sibo slowly lowered his head.

It wasn't that he couldn't understand what the old man said. It's just an instinct to refuse.

Sibo has always lived in protection and doting. For the outside world, he felt sincerely afraid and unfamiliar.

He likes to use power, just like he did with Lin Feihu. Especially when the strength in his hands far exceeds that of the other party, Sibo especially feels handy, and the planning and conspiracy are smoother.

But to really face the danger...... It was definitely not the life he liked.

After waiting for a long time, Gao Tianxing never heard the voice of hope.

Sibo was like a statue without a mind, his distracted pupils staring at the ground.

Gao Tianxing sighed, shook his body to his feet, and slowly left the study.

Su Hao sat in the command seat of the armored communication vehicle, carefully reading an emergency communication that had just been forwarded from the KD03 base.

The number of words on the page is small and the content is very short.

Chengdu asked Su Hao to arrive at the base as soon as possible and accept the new assignment.

The order was issued by the Headquarters of the 71st Army. In the lower right corner of the fax page, there is the autograph of Xu Renjie of the group army.

Why do you want me to leave now?

Su Hao has always been puzzled.

He couldn't figure it out.

The battle report on the last rescue of Wu Guoguang's squad has been submitted to the military headquarters by Li Daoyuan. According to the normal procedure, in addition to promotion to military rank, you should also receive a formal military position, as well as more substantial rewards.

For example: the commander of a combat unit, or weapons and other resources.

However, more than a month has passed, and there is no similar news from the military side. The military top brass seems to have forgotten Su Hao as a person, and they have also forgotten the brand-new tactics that they once praised.

After waiting for a long time, I only got an ambiguous order from the army group.

A tall and thin team member walked over and said with a respectful expression, "Your Excellency, you have just connected to the designated channel at the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences. Now, you can communicate normally. ”

An image of Wang Qinian soon appeared on the electronic screen.

The old fat man was as sloppy as ever, still wearing the dirty white coat that seemed to have not been washed for decades.

He seems to be conducting some kind of experiment, and is unhappy to be interrupted in the process. As a result, the facial expressions look hideous. It's like a butcher who sells a pound of pork and only receives nine taels and a half of meat money.

"You'd better have a reasonable excuse that can disturb my thinking at this time. Otherwise, I will send you directly to the Eastern Front. There is a shortage of people over there, and a large number of reinforcements are needed. ”

Wang Qinian's vicious words were not intimidation.

Over the past few months, more than 300 researchers have been forced to take off their medical gowns and put on military uniforms and be sent to supplementary training camps as recruits. These people all have common characteristics: laziness and lack of progress on related research topics for a long time. Their interest is clearly not in scientific research, but in the opportunity to climb the ladder through the possibility of being researchers.

This is already an open secret in the hospital. Naturally, the fat dean could not tolerate it.

Of course, he will not go crazy and take the initiative to slaughter his own people. But it has the power to send these ill-intentioned guys to the front line.

"The situation I'm encountering here may be similar to what you just said."

Su Hao raised the document in his hand: "I received an order, and the Chengdu base asked me to go over and report as soon as possible." ”

Wang Qinian slowly frowned: "Who gave the order?" ”

Su Hao grabbed the upper and lower corners of the document with both hands and pointed vertically at the screen: "Xu Renjie, commander of the group army." ”

Wang Qinian's brows became tighter and tighter. He put down what he was doing, took off his rubber gloves, and fell into deep thought.

Su Hao carefully observed the expression on the fat dean's face.

He felt that Wang Qinian seemed to know something. I also have a much deeper understanding of this emergency appointment than I do.

After a few minutes, the old fat man asked in a cold tone, "What rank are you now?" ”

"Lieutenant."

"And what do you mean?"

Wang Qinian rubbed his wrinkled hand and said nonchalantly, "Are you willing to act according to this order?" Or do you want to stay in Kunming? ”

Su Hao smiled faintly: "I want to hear your opinion, and I hope to get your advice." ”

This sentence is not adulterated or falsified at all, and it is indeed Su Hao's original intention.

"Boy, you're more slippery than a loach......"

The wrinkles on Wang Qinian's forehead showed no signs of relaxation. He snorted a little disapprovingly: "People with dual jobs do have a much larger range of choices than others. You can ignore this order, stay in Kunming as before, and do whatever you want. You're a researcher, and no one is going to make a fuss about it. Even if there is any trouble, I can help you issue a special certificate from the Academy of Sciences. However, the consequences of this are also obvious———— the military will not give you any further promotion. It may even deprive you of your current rank. ”

"You mean I have to obey this order?"

"That's not necessarily ————"

Wang Qinian suddenly stared at Su Hao: "You can be 100% obedient to that side, try your best to please those generals, and become their favorite puppet and puppet." And then...... Lao Tzu kicked you out of the Academy of Sciences again. ”

Su Hao had a wry smile on his face.

He had already guessed that this would be the result.

In the future world, he has somewhat learned about the dispute between Wang Qinian and the military department. Although it is not clear what exactly is in it, the fat dean has no good impression of most generals, and can even be said to be disgusted.

"That means I can't be neutral?"

"That's what idiots and fools do."

Wang Qinian scolded viciously, and then said: "There are very few people who have dual positions in the military department and the academy of sciences at the same time. Those guys are stupid people who think they're smart. They walked between two tightropes, thinking that by doing so, they would maintain balance and benefit both sides. Actually, that's just the most ignorant and ignorant of ideas. No one will allow a subordinate to be in Cao Ying, and his heart is in Han. If you want to get it, you must know how to give up. ”

These words were very serious, but Su Hao did not show nervousness.

He was still smiling: "Okay, I'll start preparing." According to the order, I will arrive at the Chengdu base as soon as possible. ”

Su Hao didn't finish his words. He believed that the old fat man could understand what he meant.

Wang Qinian's expression was a little complicated. He sat up straight and regained the indifference and majesty that the president of the academy should have: "I really don't understand, those guys who stay in the courtyard all day, why don't they have a smart mind like you?" If it weren't for your shrewdness and special insight into research, I wouldn't have given you the status of a researcher at all...... Well, I need to have my own manpower in the military. You can act like you're getting closer to those idiot generals. But you have to remember———— I need you to turn in a monthly observation note, as well as your research experience with mutated creatures. Those damn monsters are getting stronger and stronger. Although you've found the Silver Bone, the Enhancement Elixir has a real effect. I'm still not optimistic about this war. They've evolved just too fast, far more than expected. ”

Su Hao nodded silently, and then asked: "There is one more thing, about this order, I don't quite understand, why didn't the military department issue a reward to me?" But a commission was issued? ”

"There's a lot of stuff that's not really a secret. Including you. ”

Wang Qinian was obviously happy to see Su Hao's puzzled expression, which meant that there were more opportunities to show off.

He raised his right hand, gently plucked his ear with his little thumb, and sneered in a slippery manner: "That's right, you are indeed very good at fighting, and the tactics of combining trucks and infantry are very effective." Annihilated nearly 3,000 zombies at one time, but his own casualties were so small that they could barely be counted...... This kind of thing will attract attention at all times. There are many people who are optimistic about you, and there are many people who hate you. At the military department, I also have some sources———— the generals were originally intended for you to command a skirmish urban warfare. Depending on the results of the battle, you will be given new appointments and higher ranks. These can make those who are suspicious and hostile to you completely shut up. ”

"The problem is, there are a lot of people who don't want to see you climb higher. They are a stranger to you, and you do not belong to any interest group. They couldn't let an outsider take away what was rightfully theirs. As a result, some senior military officers questioned the practice of the joint meeting of the Military Commission. ”

"They had a good reason, that fight was not representative. Your other identity is that of a researcher, not a professional military officer. In other words, even if you are asked to command the battle on a given occasion. Won, that is also because of the merits of the soldiers who participated in the war. Losing is likely to trigger a series of unpredictable dangers. The safest thing to do is to let you stay honest like before. ”

"However, there are always exceptions. There were great contradictions and conflicts between Chen Yanlin, chief of staff of the 71 st Group Army, and Xu Renjie, commander of the 71 st Group Army. If I'm not mistaken, this order is supposed to be the result of the two of them falling over each other. All in all, some people are optimistic about you, and some people think you are not very good. The circles and roads are very messy. That's why I don't like to associate with those guys. In a way, zombies are actually cuter than them. At the very least, mutant creatures don't lie all over the place. I want you to die immediately, but I have a smile on my face, and the words that come out of my mouth are worse than fucking bee shit. ”

Su Hao thought for a long time, looked at the screen, and nodded solemnly: "Xie Lu Xie is really grateful for being able to say this to me." ”

"I'm just telling the truth."

Wang Qinian licked his lips stupidly: "In a few months, the United Nations Biological Research Agency will hold a conference." Awards will be given to all countries and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to biological warfare. You've found the Silver Bone, and if you really want to thank me, come back with a big prize. That's more useful than anything else. ”
