Honesty and deception are twin brothers. They all have the same faces, and when you see the most trustworthy side of honesty and truth, you will always open up unconsciously. Whenever this happens, the deception will burrow into your brain without difficulty, under the cover of his brother, and unscrupulously search for the most crucial secrets.

"Of course there are high-powered laser cannons, all on the city walls. Hey, see the tallest tower to the east? It was equipped with a full six laser emitters, which could deal with monsters in any direction. You should find the time to go over and see for a long time. It was so powerful that even the latest chariot was just a pile of scrap metal in front of it. ”

"Armored vehicles? You're referring to warehouse B 17, right? It was a supplementary supply for the 917 Infantry Division. There are sixty-three in total, all of which are the latest infantry fighting vehicles. Now the Hefei defense line is tight, all troops have been transferred, and the 917th Division is no exception. Before this battle is over, I don't think they will have a chance to come back and change their clothes

"This kind of thing is a new thing that has just come out. In the past, there was no such thing. If you think about it, a millimeter cannon weighs tens of kilograms, and with ammunition, it weighs at least a hundred. Without the booster injection, no one would have carried that thing into battle. People in the scientific research department always like to do something weird, but it is undeniable that the individual machine gun is indeed very powerful. There is a batch of new goods in the warehouse in the western area that were just made last week, and I don't know which unit Lu Dao is prepared for, and it may soon be sent to the direction of Hefei. ”

Strictly observing secrecy regulations is one of the disciplines that military personnel must abide by.

If in peacetime, the keepers of the warehouses would certainly not say these things.

However, the situation is very different now ———— the United States, France, Russia, Australia...... The virus storm has swept through the entire world, and no country has survived, and no one has survived. Even the propaganda slogan of the military department has repeatedly claimed that "this is a biological war in the whole world."

Under this premise, the "enemy country" of the past is gone. As long as we are human, we are allies that must be relied on and trusted.

If the interlocutor is a civilian, the warehouse guards will of course keep their mouths shut. Zhang Nanyi and his subordinates were wearing military uniforms, and their identification documents and material collection forms could not be forged. Based on this, coupled with the fact that these guys are indeed very good at conversation, they always lure the other party to inadvertently say what they are interested in and leak secrets, which is naturally unavoidable.

After all, we are all allies.

The same thing is going on in other corners of the new Nanyang base city.

After withdrawing from the Hefei defensive line, Su Hao carried out the second replenishment of personnel and equipment. The 11th Independent Force, which currently has 18,791 "worker bees," has all been dispersed and divided into separate missions. Among them, more than 60 percent of the "worker bees" are scattered in the military control zone. They worked in groups of two or three, struck up conversations with the sentries and officers in the base city. Use cigarettes, candy, spirits and the like to gain friendship, and dig up a lot of information from unsuspecting mouths through small talk

At 8:24, night had covered the land.

The lights are on in the office on the third floor of the 11th Separate Force station. It was a small room, soundproofed, with thick curtains blocking out the light, and the patrolmen went back and forth in and out of the hallway, vigilantly watching the movements around them, occasionally looking back and silently glancing in the direction where the faint laughter was constantly emanating.

"I finally got a good hand, and I'm sorry for myself if I don't bet a little more. Hehe, a hundred dollars. ”

Su Hao sat at the round dining table with three playing cards in front of him. With a smile, he took out two blue coins with a denomination of fifty yuan from his pocket, raised them in the air, and placed them flat in the center of the table.

Opposite, sat four officers. A lieutenant colonel and three majors, they smoked cigarettes, watched Su Hao's movements with interest, and looked down at the cards in their hands from time to time, calculating the odds of winning or losing, and whether the opponent was cheating.

"Zakin Flower", a very popular game. Each person draws three cards and decides the winner or loser according to the value of the card.

Since Su Hao went to the base city garrison headquarters the day before yesterday, the military commander in charge of staying behind has become friends with him. Along with them, three other senior staff officers soon joined the small circle. After a few very good high-level dinners, the relationship between each other has become very familiar. Taking advantage of the half-drunk drunkenness, Su Hao proposed to play a few cards, and immediately got a response.

One hundred dollars of blue coins is a lot of money.

Looking carefully at the cards in their hands, the three majors shook their heads and gave up. They had good luck tonight, and each of them won almost five hundred or so. However, Su Hao is obviously full of confidence, just looking at the momentum, he knows that there should be no bluffing. The biggest card in the major's hand is just a miscellaneous "A", so there is no need to fight to the death stupidly.

There are only two people left at the table, Lieutenant Colonel and Su Hao.

Cautiously glancing at the cards in his hand, and then at the banknotes on the table, the lieutenant colonel's face, which had been tense for a long time, showed a subtle smile.

He was losing almost the whole night. Although most of the chips in each handful were more than a dozen yuan, he still took out more than 700 blue coins before and after.

"You've obviously got a good hand."

The lieutenant colonel raised his head, glanced at the complacent Su Hao, smiled, took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his wallet, pressed them the table, and said in a somewhat provocative tone: "Follow a hundred, add two hundred." ”

The onlookers stopped talking. The stakes are obviously too big, and they are beyond the scope of normal entertainment.

Su Hao frowned, turned over his cards again, his eyes showed doubts that were not very confident, and he couldn't bear to give up.

"How? Don't follow if the card is small. I've got a pretty good hand, a lot more than you can win. ”

The lieutenant colonel lit a cigarette and smoked it very comfortably.

Although he was persuading, the corners of his eyes kept twitching. The flickering gaze had already betrayed his heart———— he didn't want to see the result of Su Hao giving up now. Best...... Bet more, follow to the end, Lao Tzu will win more.

After hesitating for a few minutes, Su Hao finally took out the money and put it on the table according to the lieutenant colonel's intention.

Two hundred.

Three hundred.

Five hundred.

Soon, a thick stack of banknotes was piled up on the table, and several onlookers were holding their breath. Because it's so big that whoever wins or loses is not a good thing.

Finally, it was time to open the cards.

The lieutenant colonel turned over three cards, which were "QQQ".

As for Su Hao, it is a red heart "10, A".

"Hell ————"

Su Hao's face was pale, he shook his head and sighed, ripped off the collar of his shirt, threw the cards in his hand on the table, and cursed viciously.

The lieutenant colonel happily collected the money on the table, quickly counted the points, and seemed very satisfied———— this handful was indeed fruitful, not only moved back to Ben, but also won a lot.

Su Hao picked up the cup, took a sip of cold tea, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, put his hand into the empty pocket, and took it out very unwillingly, shaking his head frequently.

"You're lucky to have this kind of card to get it. If it weren't for the cards I dealt myself, I would definitely think you were cheating. What the hell, why don't you change the cards of the two of us? This one, I lost badly. ”

Next to him, a major nodded approvingly: "Winning or losing is almost two thousand, and Colonel Su's living expenses for next month are estimated to be very problematic." ”

Another officer joked with a blushing eye: "The food in the officer's canteen is okay." At the very least, there are free meals to eat. If you lose, you lose, look at it. Next time, luck will be on your side. ”

The lieutenant colonel threw away the cigarette butt, couldn't suppress his ecstasy, laughed "Ha Lu haha", and said loudly: "Don't be so depressed, come to the headquarters tomorrow, I'll treat ———— you"

Su Hao shook his head sullenly: "Tomorrow won't work." In a few days, the troops will be mobilized, and now that the railway transportation is not smooth, I have to send a batch of supplies out of the city first, and set up a supply depot on the way. If something goes wrong with the train, at least make sure that my soldiers don't go hungry. ”

The lieutenant colonel folded the sorted banknotes, put them in his pocket, and asked with interest: "You have received a lot of things from the logistics warehouse during this time, is this what you are for?" ”

Su Hao didn't mean to hide it at all. He kept nodding his head and sighed constantly: "Yes, we are not directly under the 184 Group Army after all, if we encounter an emergency, maybe we will have to walk back." Of course, that's the worst-case scenario. ”

The major, who was sitting on the right, comforted: "Don't worry, you have enough transporters. ”

Su Hao smiled bitterly again: "There is a car, but there is no place to refuel." The highway can be blocked at any time, stop and go, waste fuel, and delay time. Alas, it's better for you to stay in the city, quiet and comfortable. ”

The good mood after winning the money has always dominated the thinking of the lieutenant colonel. He stood up, walked to Su Hao's side, patted the other party on the shoulder vigorously, and smiled very affectionately.

"It's just gasoline, that's not a problem at all. You are a guest army, and according to military custom, all supplies are the responsibility of the garrison in your area. The normal consumption of several thousand tons of oil is still fine, and I will inform the oil depot tonight to prepare and bring you more oil on the road, which is enough to keep you back. Hehe, add 60% more, not too much. ”

Su Hao finally showed a smile on his face: "Then what's embarrassing?" ”

"It's all as it should be."

The lieutenant colonel was very friendly: "Fuel has a fixed storage period, and after that time, it must be replaced with a new reserve. Now it is all siege warfare, the troops are rarely mobile, and fuel consumption is much lower than in the past. Expired oil has to be disposed of, and instead of wasting it in vain, it is better to give it all to you. They are all friendly forces, and it is appropriate to take care of each other......"

It was late at night.

The office had returned to tranquility, except for the messy cigarette butts, ashes, and footprints on the floor, as well as the cards and wine glasses scattered on the table, only Su Hao stood alone in front of the window, silently watching the lights flickering in the distance in the dark night.

The wind blew, and Su Hao felt a faint coolness.

Base City at night, you can use lights to separate the civilian area from the military area.

The former is chaotic, especially in areas where commercial streets and entertainment venues are concentrated, and the light is particularly dense. The latter is neatly organized, with the exception of guard towers and checkpoints, most of the area is strictly controlled by lights, and is hidden in the darkness.

Huang He walked into the room and stood behind Su Hao, without saying a word.

Divergent minds have discovered his presence. Perhaps because of evolution, the image of the Yellow River in Su Hao's brain is not just a humanoid individual, but an existence that can feel body temperature and a specific face image.

Su Hao crossed his arms and asked lightly, "Are you all gone?" ”

This question is a bit redundant, because he already knows the answer.

Huang He touched the thick stubble on his chin and nodded in response: "I have arranged for people and cars to go to the oil depot." With the approval of the military commander, we will be able to get a batch of fuel to send to the road tonight for preparation. ”

Playing cards is just a façade.

With Su Hao's shrewdness, as well as the superb vision and keen ability of the fifth-order enhancer, it is enough to clearly remember the order of each card, and with the dazzling hand speed when dealing cards, Su Hao will not lose at all, and can even easily play tricks such as three "K" against three "A", emptying every piece in the opponent's pocket

All men like to gamble.

Of course, the "gambling" referred to here is not a desperate struggle for money, but the excitement of winning and losing in normal entertainment. It's easy to bring joy to a winner by quietly and subtly outplaying at the table, and it's certainly easier than usual to talk to your goals in this state of excitement.

In addition to Liang Yu's "Sinopec" mercenary group, there are dozens of civilian armed organizations that have gathered from all directions after receiving Su Hao's order.

They are all Su Hao's shadows that he sprinkled in advance when he was running Kunming. Among them, there are only four or five mercenary groups like Liang Yu with hundreds of members, and the vast majority only have twenty or thirty people, and the weapon configuration can only be regarded as average. Regardless, they are worker bees with short-term combat training, with varying degrees of enhancement and absolute obedience to the "queen bee".

The storm of viruses has destroyed the foundations of civilization, and all kinds of machinery and vehicles are scattered everywhere in the cities and streets. In addition to the need for personnel, the formation of mercenary groups also needs to be used as large vehicles for transportation———— according to the order, each mercenary group has assembled in the new Nanyang base city within the specified time, and the "castle" has also sent a large number of "worker bees" to set up stations along the way in advance, clear roadblocks, and enable a large convoy hidden on the outskirts of the city...... Based on the information collected from various sources, the number of vehicles assembled according to the order has exceeded 6,000.

Su Hao's request for railway transportation to Wang Qinian was just a trick to assist. The real transportation capacity has to rely on the "worker bees".

A large amount of food received in advance from the military warehouse has been transported out of the city and transported by the "worker bee" convoy to various supply points along the way. In order to get enough fuel, Su Hao specially arranged for tonight's card game———— the top of the 184th Group Army, including Zhang Shengfei, had already gone to Hefei, and there was only one temporary regiment of troops responsible for staying in the new Nanyang base city. What's more, Su Hao didn't make any too outrageous moves, and the number of fuel approvals for the lieutenant colonel was also within the normal range. The only difference is the time before and after the distribution of supplies.

Although it was only one night in advance, the tanker trucks that departed in the early stage undoubtedly accelerated the operation of the entire plan. They can set up refueling stations along the way, and the road that gives way for the follow-up fleet to accelerate, which is critical from a safety and time perspective.

A huge plan of tens of thousands of people, more than 6,000 heavy trucks...... In the eyes of others, the difficulty of implementing this kind of plan is definitely self-evident, and there will definitely be all kinds of unexpected troubles. However, in Su Hao's view, the above problems do not exist at all. Because all participants are "worker bees". They have the ability to cooperate closely with people who do not possess them, and they have the possibility of absolute obedience to orders and will not claim to cause chaos. The whole "bee colony" is a society with strict hierarchies and clear instructions. Under the absolute authority of the "queen bee", any "worker bee" silently abides by their duties. They never ask what they want unless they have to, and they don't bother them with questions like tiredness.

Taking road transport as an example, the vehicles driven by the "worker bees" will not rush to the road, let alone chase after you. They strictly follow the signals and obey orders. Under the control of the baseline time of shipment of goods, the order of entry and exit of each vehicle is controlled just right. Even if he encounters a problem such as a mutant creature attack, the driver will not abandon the car and run away, but will hand over the counterattack and defense to the escort personnel, and perform his duties calmly and calmly.

All this is simply unimaginable in the Anthropocene. At the very least, it is impossible to complete the plan within the specified time without any mistakes and every second.

The black particles make Su Hao the "queen bee". He controls the entire "swarm", running like a machine.

This is the basis for the implementation of the entire plan, and it is also Su Hao's greatest source of confidence.

After a brief chat, Su Hao, accompanied by Huang He, left the office and walked into the conference room on the second floor.

Wang Jinlong, Gao Mingyang and others gathered here, as well as more than a dozen specially selected "worker bee" officers. They gathered around the long table, and talked quietly and fiercely about various topographic maps magnified in high magnification.

The transport route has long been determined, and most of the obstacles along the way have been cleared. By the early morning of tomorrow at the latest, between the new Nanyang base city and Kunming, the entire highway can ensure smooth traffic.

There are also more than 8,000 unidentified recruits in the 11th Independent Force. Through this period of training and actual combat, these people are no longer so afraid of mutated creatures, although they are not real veterans, they are no longer the same as when they first passed the selection.

They are the uncontrollable part of the whole plan.
