Volume I, Section 334 Treatment
The newly formed 70L Bu Chong Division is a reinforcement that arrived on the battlefield after Su Hao. Their attack method is completely inherited from the drill in the abandoned city of Guiyang. Thousands of fifth-order reinforced soldiers coordinated with armored trucks and pushed flat in the direction of the base city. Behind them were recruits who were slightly less combative, but had at least a third- or fourth-order physique. When physical fitness and speed are boosted to the extreme, and the visual and mental awareness are strengthened to fill in the search corners, the body coordination is enough to cope with the impact of mutant creatures. Although the average frontline soldier has to deal with more than three targets at the same time, the highly evolved brain has already judged the attack route of each mutated creature, as well as different information such as arrival time before and after, threat level, etc., and the soldiers will counterattack according to their different situations.
Reinforcements were not protected by walls, and mutant creatures could not break through the lines in a short period of time. The stalemate lasted until dawn. With the other two garrisons closest to the base city, two infantry divisions arriving on the battlefield one after the other joining the fray, the dense bio-frenzy could no longer form a shock. Mutated creatures of different forms were killed in batches, except for a few scattered fleeing on the periphery of the battlefield, and most of the main forces were completely wiped out.
The walls south of Base City are torn, and the walls are covered with various internal organs and unnamed organs and tissues. As far as the eye can see, the entire view is occupied by an endless stream of corpses. There are fragmented human soldiers, and there are patches of mutant creatures that have died.
Huang He jumped down from the armored command vehicle, and as soon as he landed, there was a feeling of emptiness from the bottom of the military boots stepping on the soft material. He hurriedly stretched out his arms to regain his balance, but he couldn't really step on it, but there was an extremely uncomfortable slippery slip. If it weren't for the adjutant next to him who grabbed him quickly, Huang He would definitely fall on the spot.
Beneath my feet, it was already a muddy patch.
The entire layer of soil was soaked with blood, several centimeters deep. As soon as he stepped on it, the soaked soil immediately seeped out a black-red liquid, quickly submerging the sagging boots.
"It's so tragic"
Huang He raised his head, loosened the wind buckle around his neck, and breathed heavily in the air with strong blood, shaking his head and sighing.
The land beneath his feet was on the edge of the battlefield. Even if this place has become like this, can you imagine what a bloody scene would have been near the walls and gates where the battle was fiercest?
Looking at the tall red city wall painted with blood in the distance, Huang He Chang let out a long breath of turbid air and asked the adjutant standing next to him: "Have the results of the battle been counted?" How many casualties do we have? β
The adjutant replied earnestly: "Three hundred and sixty-one people were killed in the battle, and six hundred and nine were seriously wounded. There are also many minor injuries that are not large enough to be included in the statistics. All the battle dead were third-order constitutions, and eighty-four seriously wounded were fifth-order. We were in a hurry and the right flank was not very organized. The mutant creatures launched several shocks from that direction, causing a lot of confusion to the forward troops. In addition to the loss of personnel, there was also no shortage of damage to vehicles and weapons. β
Huang He nodded silently.
Ambush and engagement are two different concepts. The fact that there are so many zero casualties in the abandoned city is largely due to Haig's role in it. It controls the number of mutated creatures that enter the ambush circle, and does not exceed the maximum amount of attack power.
After a pause of a few seconds, Huang He continued to ask, "What about the casualties of the other troops?" β
"There are no accurate statistics yet."
The adjutant shook his head with a wry smile: "We have telegraphed with the city guards and other reinforcements. They fought badly, especially the defending troops. They have been holding out since last night, and at least more than 20,000 people have been killed in the battle. If it weren't for the Commander's Excellency leading the guards to urgently reinforce the guards, perhaps...... The base city has been completely lost. β
The Yellow River fell silent again. After a long while, he said leisurely: "This is a war that never stops." If you want to survive to the fullest, you'll have to be stronger and more ruthless than those damn mutant monsters. β
With that, he turned around and gave instructions to the adjutant.
"Order all units to clean up the battlefield at once. The speed must be fast, you have to get ahead of the rest of the 71st Army and collect as much loot as possible. Especially the silver bone"
In the intensive care ward of the underground command center, Su Hao met Xu Renjie.
He took off his general's uniform and was naked, immobilized in an enclosed treatment chamber filled with blue nutrient solution. The oval-shaped chamber was laid horizontally on a metal shelf, and Xu Renjie's entire lower body was soaked in the middle of the liquid. To facilitate his movement, he remained seated with a rubber seal that fit snugly along his chest. This treatment ensures that the mutilated legs grow in a short period of time and does not affect the upper body movement of the healer.
As soon as he walked into the room, Su Hao suddenly laughed.
Xu Renjie sitting in the treatment cabin is really funny. Being naked and burly, it feels like an indigenous savage who is fixed to a specimen rack and never wears clothes all year round.
Glaring at Su Hao with bloodshot eyes, Xu Renjie shouted angrily: "It's funny, isn't it?" Do you want me to bring you in and live a few days at the mercy of the doctors? β
Su Hao found a chair from the side and sat down, and said with a light smile: "Don't be so angry." Anger is not suitable for recovery, you are badly injured. If it weren't for the current development of medical technology, you would be a disabled person by now. Of course, we are all lucky compared to the soldiers who have already died in battle. β
Xu Renjie looked at Su Hao with very playful eyes and sneered: "This is what you want to say to me?" β
"Isn't it?"
Su Hao swept Xu Renjie's whole body with a calm gaze, and said lightly: "I rushed over from New Guiyang overnight to save your life, but you didn't even say "Xie Lu Xie". β
Xu Renjie looked at Su Hao, his eyes were a little gloomy: "Tang Zi is your person." She killed Chen Yanlin in front of me. β
Su Hao raised a very good-looking eyebrow: "She's here to save you." β
"She smashed the wall of my office."
I don't know where the strength of the road came from, Xu Renjie suddenly became emotional, and his voice became very loud: "That is the protective wall carefully designed by Lao Tzu. The steel plate was fifteen centimeters thick, and the high-strength alloy I couldn't even penetrate, but she tore it to shreds a few times. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lao Tzu wouldn't have believed that this was a woman. β
Su Hao nodded in agreement: "You're right. Tang Zi does eat a lot, and ordinary men are not her opponents. I've been trying to persuade her to lose weight, but she won't listen to me. Hehe, you know, fat women usually have a lot of strength. If it was a wrist wrestler, I might not be her match. β
Xu Renjie only felt that his eyelids were jumping for a while, suppressed his anger, and said, "Chen Yanlin got the fourth-level strengthening potion through Sun Zhan's relationship. But he didn't have the power to fight back in front of Tang Zi at all. The woman stomped on his head. β
Su Hao's smiling expression still did not change: "Tang Zi has nothing to blame in this matter. Chen Yanlin wants to kill you, but what Tang Zi did was to protect you. β
"Enough, you know that you don't mean this"
Xu Renjie couldn't stand Su Hao's ridicule anymore, and roared in an angry thunderous voice: "I don't know where Chen Yanlin got the high-level enhancement potion?" He and his guards beat me badly without any effort. I almost didn't get killed alive by them. I could feel that they had the same enhanced physique as I did. It's all fourth-order, three-to-one, and Lao Tzu doesn't even have a chance to fight back. And what about Tang Zi? first killed the two sentry outside, and then stepped on Chen Yanlin's head in front of Lao Tzu. β
Xu Renjie had a gloomy face and stared at Su Hao coldly: "The airship force has been monitoring the entire base city. You and your first reinforcements arrived in time for the most dangerous time. You brought with you just over a thousand people, but you made the whole line of defense impregnable. With the mutated creatures dominating, you drove those monsters off the walls. You guys are really strong, and I was shocked. β
Su Hao was still smiling: "This is as it should be." It was you who turned me from a civilian into a soldier, and you are my old superior. If I don't help you, who else can I help? β
The implication of this sentence is very obvious. The ferocity on Xu Renjie's face gradually faded. Although the facial muscles were still tense, his expression was much soothed compared to when Su Hao first walked into the treatment room.
After thinking for a few seconds, Xu Renjie glanced at Su Hao fiercely: "Zero casualties, is this the result you want to see for me?" β
"I wonder how long this biological war will last? Every warrior is a precious resource. Especially my people, I will not allow them to be wasted in battle. Since I have brought them, I am not afraid of being seen by you. What's more, if it weren't for Tang Zi's timely action, you wouldn't be lying in the treatment cabin talking to me now. β
Su Hao's attitude was calm. Although Xu Renjie's tone has always been reproachful, he failed to pose any threat to Su Hao. Although the progress of the topic deviated somewhat from the original expectation, in Su Hao's opinion, some things must be made public sooner or later. Instead of continuing to hide it and teasing Xu Renjie's stronger curiosity, it is better to simply confess and increase his right to speak.
The corners of Xu Renjie's eyes have been twitching slightly. It made him uncomfortable. Especially his position, compared to the height of Su Hao's chair, he is obviously at a disadvantage. Moreover, he was naked, but the other party was wearing clothes...... The huge gap in psychology and thinking made him completely give up the severity that had been brewing for a long time, and his attitude began to become relaxed.
After a moment of silence, Xu Renjie lowered his voice and asked, "Tang Zi...... What level of enhancer is she?
Su Hao looked at the seriously injured commander squarely and replied lightly: "Fifth rank." β
Although he had already guessed the answer, Xu Renjie was still shocked by the response he heard, and his pupils instantly constricted. He subconsciously twisted his body to stand up, but he was restrained by the immobilizer on his chest, stirring up a pale blue vortex of liquid medicine in the treatment chamber.
What is the concept of a fifth-order enhancer?
Xu Renjie remembered that when he first came into contact with the Atlanteans, the scientific and technological information he obtained from the other party had a record of the fifth-order enhancer. According to the Atlantean civilization's classification of physical strengthening, the fifth level belongs to the strongest strength that humans can have. This special constitution can be created through two ways: natural evolution and potion modification. Of course, the effect of natural production is certainly different from that of the drug. Generally speaking, they are all fifth-order enhancers, and the former's comprehensive strength is somewhat stronger than the latter. However, in terms of actual combat objects, as well as destroyed and striking targets, the damage effect is not as obvious as that of computer tests.
As for the understanding of the Atlanteans, Xu Renjie obviously does not know as much as Wang Qinian. Although he is a general, he is not a core member of the Three Kingdoms Research Group.
Xu Renjie only knew the Dao, and the culprit who caused the turmoil in this world and destroyed the entire civilization with disasters was the Atlanteans.
After being silent for nearly five minutes, Xu Renjie slowly opened his mouth and asked in an astringent voice, "Where did you get the fifth-order strengthening potion?" β
Without waiting for Su Hao to answer, he immediately added: "Don't tell me that Wang Fatzi gave it to you." β
Su Hao smiled faintly and shook his head: "Of course not." β
Just as this sentence blurted out, Xu Renjie also subconsciously took a breath.
In the case of the total collapse of the entire social system, there is simply no security in the absolute sense of the word. If you want to live a better life, there are only two ways: first, you are very powerful, and no one dares to covet it. Second, there are many, very strong allies.
Xu Renjie never thought of himself as a peerless powerhouse. Although he painstakingly ran the new Chengdu base city from the very beginning, and controlled all the troops under his command with an iron fist, he was still full of vigilance and trepidation at all times.
Xu Renjie has seen the ferocity and cruelty of refugees outside the city more than once. They kill, cannibalize, abuse, and even enslave every individual who is weaker than themselves. God, all this is simply unthinkable in peacetime. When the basic moral and legal framework of society completely collapsed, the savage dinosaur hidden in the hearts of human beings was also completely released.
Xu Renjie often has nightmares. He dreamed that the base city was attacked by mutant creatures, the entire city order collapsed, he was caught by refugees and rebels, stripped naked, hung on the top of a wooden pole, and was torn off the meat of his body with a knife, dipped in spices, and slowly grilled on a hot fire.
With a strong desire for incomparable anticipation and infinite thirst, Xu Renjie stared at Su Hao: "Is there more of that kind of potion?" I'm talking about the kind that has a fifth-order enhancement ability. β
Even he didn't notice it, and when he asked these words, his tone unconsciously trembled slightly, and the gaze released from his pupils not only represented desire, but also greed.
What army group commander?
What base city commander?
It's all fucking fart.
On this turbulent night just past, Xu Renjie suddenly thought through a lot of things that he had always felt confused in the past.
That's right, in the face of state power, the strength of an individual is simply insignificant. Just like a peerless master and an army, the one who loses is always the former.
However, when an individual's force is strong enough to break any limit, he no longer has to worry about the eyes of others.
is like Su Hao, who is sitting in front of him, is the best example.
Looking at Xu Renjie, who was excited, Su Hao felt a little emotional in his heart.
Whether in the future world or the current time and space, Xu Renjie is a general with great power, and he is also an extremely proud, coercive and indifferent person.
Now, he spoke to himself in an almost begging tone. Especially when I say the words "fifth-order strengthening elixir", I feel like a beggar kneeling on the side of the street, stretching out his hands, kowtowing to passers-by.
Perhaps, even Xu Renjie himself did not realize this. But the more this is the case, the more Su Hao feels emotional, there is a kind of reversal of status, and he is in a trance in the world of fantasy movies.
He is a dignified general, with hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers under his command, and manages an incomparably large base city
"Fifth Order Enhancement Elixir...... Of course. β
As soon as he said these words, Su Hao fell silent. It was nearly half a minute before he shook his head imperceptibly, slowly exhaling from the depths of his slightly open lips what he felt he shouldn't have said.
"I can give it to you. But you have to understand that everything has a price. At the same time, it also means that you have to give something of equal value, or even more. β
This is definitely not an intimidation, nor is it alarmist.
Su Hao can completely turn Wang Qinian, Night Shadow, and Xu Renjie into "worker bees".
But he never thought to do that.
As the "queen bee", the "worker bee" is absolutely subservient to herself, and she will not have any resistance. However, Su Hao always felt an indescribable sense of loss. Different from the intimacy between Xinyan and himself, and different from the loyalty of Lao Song and others to himself, if Wang Qinian is turned into a "worker bee", this world will always feel that something is missing, and many things that should have happened in the future time and space are likely to disappear and never appear again.
Although most of his body was soaked in the treatment cabin, Xu Renjie still couldn't help but tremble suddenly.
Su Hao's answer couldn't be clearerββββ although he didn't say it explicitly, Xu Renjie knew that the answer must be far beyond his psychological expectations, or even more.
"I can indeed β₯ you to become a fifth-order enhancer."
Su Hao moved his chair forward, sat down only more than two meters away from the treatment cabin, his face was calm, and his tone was calm: "But the cost and consequences are definitely not what you want." β
Xu Renjie pressed the deep struggle in his heart, supported the outer wall of the treatment cabin with both hands, and almost roared: "There is no listening equipment here, and some words are only from the mouths of you and me, and there will be no third person who knows the Tao." Tell me, you...... What exactly do you want? β
At this moment, Xu Renjie's mind was full of the incomparable desire for the word "powerful", and there were no more superfluous thoughts.
