The "Hongyan" group has quite large assets in the new Nanyang base city. In addition to land and buildings, there is also a large amount of machinery and equipment. Among them, most of them are cigarette equipment and various chemical raw materials, as well as a large number of tobacco leaves and basic raw materials.

Humans have a long history of smoking. Although governments around the world are advocating to quit smoking in peacetime, and the United Nations has even established a special "quit smoking day", old smokers and cigarette sticks still smoke in public, infecting more young people with low-quality second-hand smoke, making them continue to join the ranks of smokers

This is an extremely large group, and once you get addicted to smoking, it is very difficult to quit.

Even in the post-apocalyptic world after the outbreak of the virus, cigarettes are still an extremely important resource. Thanks to the large amount of donations to the government in peacetime, the "Hongyan" group began to lay out early. In addition to food, machinery, personnel, and armament, they also planted tobacco in large quantities in sparsely populated areas, becoming the biggest source of profit after the chaos.

Although the new Nanyang base city is close to the front line, the order is stable, the transportation is convenient, the "Hongyan" group has set up an administrative structure and factories here, and a large number of tobacco harvested from the southern mountains are processed here, made into finished products, and then died out in the neighboring areas.

By the time of the defeat on the Hefei front, more than 700 tons of unprocessed tobacco had been stored in the new Nanyang warehouse. According to the emergency order of the "Hongyan" group, Liu Liqun must evacuate as soon as possible with this batch of raw materials and important machinery and go to several other base cities in the north.

According to the route indicated on the leaflets, civilians could only leave the city in the direction of east and north. However, the gates in those two directions were blocked, and it was impossible to get out. In desperation, Liu Liqun could only hit Su Hao with his idea, hoping to take the city exit in the south and west directions.

After patiently listening to the woman's words, Su Hao categorically vetoed: "This is impossible." To the south is the west, and to the west is a military passage, through which no one is allowed to pass. We must prioritize the evacuation of military materiel. ”

"Can't we discuss?"

Liu Liqun had a smile on her face, and straightened forward her huge breasts that had swelled because of her obesity. She took out a small, finely woven cloth bag from her handbag, smiled and handed it to Su Hao.

Undo the tether of the cloth bag, revealing a seductive glow of silver bone and hedrons. Rough estimates put it at about fifty or sixty milligrams of silver bone and more than a dozen white spars.

Liu Liqun glanced at the burly bodyguard standing behind him, who stepped forward knowingly and handed over the small lockbox that he had been carrying in his hand. Huang He took it and opened it, and found that it was full of brand-new blue coins, stacked neatly, and from the denomination and quantity, there should be about 100,000.

Two young women in trench coats walked up to Su Hao. They are beautiful in appearance and exude an extremely elegant temperament. Without waiting for Su Hao to ask, they had already unbuttoned their trench coats and opened the left and right sides of the placket, revealing a body with smooth lines, completely in line with human aesthetics, and proportions that were almost beautiful to the extreme.

They wore nothing but bras and thongs tied with ribbons. The extremely full boobs are enough to attract the eye, and there is an urge to grab it in your hand and play with it fiercely. The skin is smooth and delicate, like a silk fabric, which is full of reverie. The high heels make the waist and hips curve concave and convex, and they continue to converge and expand between extensions. Especially in the middle of the legs, the thin and narrow thong can't block the view at all, but it stimulates the secretion of male hormones more and more, which makes the mouth dry.

Looking at these gifts that were obviously used for bribery, Su Hao couldn't help but laugh softly, and his expression became gentle.

His attitude affected all those present. The tense atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

Liu Liqun's smile is still sweet. She is confident in the gifts she gives———— has a strong foundation, money, and women, which is something that almost every man dreams of. In the face of such lucrative interests, not to mention a mere colonel, even a general in command of a division cannot resist at all.

"Hehe, it's all gadgets that can't be put on the table."

She smiled humbly and wasted no time in asking, "So, can we get out of the city?" ”

Su Hao waved his hand, motioned to Huang He to send the lockbox and the two women to the back, and replied nonchalantly: "Of course, you can do it at any time, no problem." ”

Before the joy on Liu Liqun's face subsided, Su Hao added another sentence without smiling.

"All must obey orders. You can leave from the east and from the north. When to go, it is your freedom. ”

The expression on Liu Liqun's face instantly froze. Her chest began to rise and fall sharply with anger. Gritting his teeth, he spews rough air out of his nostrils and makes a "creaking" grinding sound.

A tall, thin young man flashed out of the crowd behind her and glared at Su Hao viciously.

"How dare you fool us?"

Su Hao stood silently and looked at the young man indifferently.

Yes, he was playing tricks on these guys who didn't know what to do. Of course, it's not for fun, but for another level. As for those who use it as bribes for their own property and women...... Su Hao has always felt that he is very poor, and it is not too much to receive benefits as the temporary city defense commander of Xinnanyang. Moreover, the two beauties obviously belong to the type that is bullied on weekdays. They will soon become their own people, that is, the new "worker bees", under the guidance of the consciousness of other "worker bees".

In terms of receiving benefits, Su Hao never knew what it meant to be "cheeky". Anyway, you sent it to the door yourself, whether you want it or not, that's my business.

"Before you say that, you'd better figure out who you are."

Su Hao didn't intend to waste time on this issue, he directly turned the interlocutor to Liu Liqun, and said calmly: "Actually, even if you don't come, I will send someone to find you." ”

There is too much uncertainty and fear in this sentence. Liu Liqun only felt trembling all over, and the anger caused by being deceived disappeared in an instant, leaving only endless coldness in her mind. But she tried to put a smile on her face, though it was fake, and anyone could see through it at a glance.

Su Hao didn't care about the other party's attitude, turned around to himself, looked at the transport convoy parked near the city gate in the distance, with the "red smoke" sign on both sides of the tarpaulin, and asked lightly: "Those trucks, are they all yours?" ”

Liu Liqun was already in a cold sweat on her forehead, and nodded hard and heavily.

"How many cars are there?"

“…… Three hundred...... No, two hundred...... One hundred ......"

The vague answer that wanted to cover up the facts made Su Hao very dissatisfied.

He turned, his gaze cold.

The young man standing between Liu Liqun and Su Hao was a little short-tempered. He exclaimed in a high-pitched, piercing voice, "What do you want? How many cars do we have to do with you? Since you have received the money, you must complete the commission. Otherwise I'm ......"

"Bang ————"

The loud gunfire abruptly stopped the young man's shouting.

Huang He stood beside Su Hao, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He had a half-smoked cigarette butt in his mouth, and in his hand he held a thick gun, the chamber of which was hot and a faint wisp of smoke came from the muzzle.

A fist-sized hole was blasted in the young man's left chest, revealing his tattered heart and ribs. He lowered his head, looked at the terrible hole in his chest in disbelief, raised his hand, trembled and wanted to point towards the Yellow River, but his body went limp, and he fell down.

This shot shocked other members of the "Red Smoke" group. No one wants to come up and reason with Su Hao anymore. They froze in place, deep fear and anger in each other's eyes.

Su Hao's expression was still calm, but in the eyes of these people, it was more eerie than ever.

He stared blankly at the convoy in the distance and repeated the previous question in a voice clear enough: "How many cars?" ”

With the example of a dead young man, Liu Liqun no longer had the slightest idea of wanting to hide it.

"Three, three hundred and eighty-two, mostly general-purpose heavy trucks, and some large containers."

"Well, it seems that the conversation between us has started well. So, the next step is to let this friendly atmosphere continue. ”

Su Hao had a smile in his eyes. He said unceremoniously: "I have no ill will towards the "Red Smoke" group. I like to smoke myself. However, these are extraordinary times, we are running out of capacity and are in dire need of vehicles. I liked the gifts just now, and in return I could free up enough military warehouses to store the supplies in your cars. Don't worry, it's definitely not a robbery or snatching. Again———— I'm just borrowing your vehicle. ”

Looking at Su Hao's handsome face with a smile, Liu Liqun only felt that blood quickly surged up her cheeks, stimulating her eyes to fill with tears. Her teeth clenched together with a distinct grinding sound.

That's what he's for?

Yes, that's what Su Hao is for.

He needs trucks, he needs more than enough capacity.

Prototype potions are the basis for maintaining the existence of the "swarm". The mysterious spar slab can continuously reveal the formula of the genetic potion by replenishing energy. Su Hao would draw out a part of his blood every day and hand it over to his cronies to bring back to the "castle", and through cell culture, he would continue to inject new individuals to produce more "worker bees".

In time, the "swarm" will surely be the most powerful group on the planet. This kind of toughness is not only in terms of force, but also comes from tacit cooperation, absolute obedience to the "queen bee", and a social structure that is so strict that it is shocking.

However, if the "bee colony" wants to achieve sustainable and stable development, it needs more material foundation.

For example, food and machinery, such as technology and research.

Su Hao needs a stable rear and a base that continuously produces all kinds of materials. The formulation and failure of the Hefei Battle made him see the future of the "swarm". If possible, Su Hao really wants to empty all the new Nanyang.

This kind of thing can only be thought of, reality is of course impossible———— mutant creatures have been chasing the routed troops on the front line, and they will soon appear near the city. Although Su Hao racked his brains to find a way to mobilize vehicles to increase the capacity of each truck to the limit, there was only one transportation opportunity. Even the convoys that had already shipped food and medicine out of the city ahead of schedule had to return within two days. It takes time to load and refuel, and if the mutant creatures arrive in Xinnanyang earlier than expected, then Su Hao will have to terminate the plan to avoid greater casualties.

In addition to the military, there are also some heavy trucks in the new Nanyang base city. They belong to the wealthy consortium, and the "Red Smoke" group is just one of them.

"Poor woman."

Looking at Liu Liqun, who had a dull expression and empty eyes, and slowly walked down the lookout with staggering steps, the Yellow River cracked a big mouth full of stubble, and snorted coldly: "She originally thought that we could bring hope, but she didn't expect that we were more hateful than the devil in hell, and directly deprived her of her illusions." Therefore, it is a very stupid move to put your hopes in others. It's better to rely on no one than on yourself, this is a wise saying that no one can deny

In the bottom of Su Hao's heart, there was a slightly bitter smile.

He wouldn't want to do that if he could.

Although the reputation of the Hao Consortium is not good, it is not all bad people.

Mastering the central computer code of a base and becoming the commander of the city defense may not happen again in the future. If you don't take this opportunity to move as much as you need, it will be a waste at all.

Blame the damn virus, blame the damn creature war

Thinking of this, Su Hao sighed, turned his gaze to the Yellow River, and issued orders calmly and calmly.

"Take your people and watch them empty the van in the shortest possible time. Ordered Wang Jinlong and Zhang Nanyi to collect as many trucks as possible from the city to join the transport troops. We only have this one chance, and we take everything we can with us, preferably not even a single screw left. ”

The Hefei front was defeated.

This news is like an incomparably strong electric current, violently stimulating everyone's thinking nerves. From the military headquarters to the various theaters, from soldiers to generals, people were shocked by the rout that took place in the 3rd Southeast Theater of Operations, and they were also worried about their own future. Because it's not just a simple question of whether life is good or bad, happiness or pain, but it's about life and death, destruction? Or survival?

The atmosphere in the conference room of the military headquarters was serious, and the air mixed with a lot of smoke was much duller than usual. The generals sat in their seats, either with their heads in silence or glaring at the papers in their hands with fierce eyes, and some gathered together to exchange views privately in very soft voices.

The conference table was piled with stacks of papers. Even though each participant has a personal computer and a small electronic screen installed on the desktop, there are many things that require paper documents to complete. Anyone can get a headache in front of these paper pages with sporadic names and dense data lists. Soot was sprinkled everywhere, and brown-black strong tea was spilled everywhere. From time to time, someone grabbed the document in annoyance, quickly crumpled it into a paper ball in his hand, threw it on the ground at will, stepped on one foot again, and crushed it fiercely in anger

"The situation on the front line in Hefei is already clear to everyone. We need to come up with a response as soon as possible, and there is a way forward for the next step. ”

Zhao Zhikai is still sitting at the main seat of the conference table. His expression was grim, and there was no joy or sorrow in his old eyes. With his age and his military rank, it was determined that he could not easily express his opinion at any time. But the more this happened, the more Zhao Zhikai felt that there was a blazing flame in his heart that couldn't be suppressed and wanted to erupt at any time.

The Air Force is responsible for monitoring and supporting all battlefields, and Hefei is no exception. The disappearance of the rout at the front was sent back by the battlefield monitoring crews set up there by the Air Force. Through the signal transfer, the members of the Joint Staff Council saw with their own eyes the surging biological frenzy, the tragic fighting, and the officers and soldiers who were torn alive by the monsters.

The military headquarters immediately responded———— the borders of the first, second, and fourth defense zones in the southeast were all closed, all reserve units in the theater were put into a state of combat readiness, and the group armies accelerated the construction of fortifications within the defense zones, and at the same time sent a large number of helicopters and special forces with strong combat effectiveness to Hefei to rescue the wounded.

All of this is a precautionary measure to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. Half an hour ago, the Second Southeast Theater, which is closest to Hefei, had sent a telegram claiming that about 300 defeated officers and men of the 184 Group Army had been collected and that the rescue operation was underway.

The pre-filing of the response to the crisis was developed long before the war. According to the relevant regulations, when there is a large-scale fluctuation of mutated organisms in the defense area, the area must be abandoned. Personnel, materials, and heavy equipment should also be transferred as soon as possible, and neighboring areas should be supported in a timely manner.

The response plan was repeatedly deduced by computer, and the troops in each defense zone did not discount in the slightest when carrying out their orders. However, defense is defense, and that is negative after all. Although the 184 Group Army was established for a relatively short period of time and the number of soldiers and equipment was far inferior to that of the old troops, the number of personnel still exceeded hundreds of thousands. According to the information sent back by the AWACS aircraft from the battlefield over the battlefield, more than 200,000 troops participated in the Hefei campaign. Although it is not possible to calculate the exact number of casualties at this time, it is certain that many people are still alive.

Zhao Zhikai is well aware of the concept of "defeat".

That meant there were no logistical supplies, no ammunition, and the soldiers had to rely on their own strength, using their fists and feet to fight the mutated creatures. Although they are both reinforcement people, one-on-one situations prevail. Mutable creatures never play according to human combat standards. They like to fight in groups, and without enough ammunition and weapons, the soldiers have to fight to the death in vain.

They must be saved

There were reserves in several adjacent theaters of operations. In particular, the Fourth Theater of Operations in the southeast has as many as 18 divisions and nearly 400,000 people in reserve. However, the one-time mobilization of such a large force would require a vote of more than 70 percent in favor of the Joint Staff Conference.

Up to the meeting, Zhao Zhikai has been persuading him repeatedly, and the opinions of several generals in the military department are similar to his. However, after two consecutive votes, the highest number of votes in favor was only 31 percent, which was less than half of the benchmark number.
