Haig turned abruptly and stared at Xinyan with a surprised and nervous gaze. The pair of breasts about the size of a basketball on her chest kept shaking back and forth due to the excessive movement, causing a wrinkle on the surface of the thin clothing.

"What's the difference? You and I are both the master's closest subordinates, what is the difference? ”

Haig's shouts were unusually harsh, and the narrow vocal cords made the sound waves sharp and snarky. It was visibly angry at Shinyan's statement, and its face flushed with a lot of makeup, its carefully drawn eyebrows upside down to the sides, and its beautiful pink nails rubbed back and forth on the wooden chair back, giving off a tooth-aching "gege"

"Don't be so nervous. I'm just talking about things. ”

Shinyan had long been accustomed to Haig's anger. She pulled a chair from next to her and sat down, her unbelievably long legs tilted diagonally, still smiling calmly as she had been a few minutes ago: "Your abilities are different from ours. You have a deep understanding of mutated creatures and know what to do with them. It is no exaggeration to say that you are the most special and capable individual in the entire "bee colony". I believe you can also feel that everyone in the "castle" has a lot of respect for you. Why? That's of course because you used your abilities to bring us victory and avoid more casualties. ”

As he spoke, Xinyan stretched his left hand over Haig's cheek, stroked its smooth skin, slowly turned the delicate and beautiful face to himself, and said seriously, "But this time, our opponent is different from the past. They are human beings, and they are not attracted by smells and movements. Nor will it change course because of some deliberately created sound. They are more difficult to deal with than mutated creatures. ”

Haig stopped talking, just looked at Xinyan with a very unconvinced gaze. It knew that Xinyan's words were right, but it was really hard to accept. After all, in the process of transforming from a mouse to a human, Haig has developed absolute loyalty to Su Hao. Finding yourself abandoned, inner loss and melancholy are always inevitable.

"I can help the master with my own abilities."

After a few seconds of silence, Haig's emotions suddenly became excited: "I, I, I'm not a waste. I can command the monsters in the abandoned city to lure them out of the city and form a massive creature frenzy. Then, lead them to the position of the master's opponent. Those monsters are crazy, they will destroy a qiē, smash a qiē. We will not pay any casualties, and there will be no more crises. Just push the creature frenzy all the way to the north, and behind them, all the qiē will become ours. ”

"If you really dare to do this, Su Hao will be the first to kill you"

A terrifying chill appeared in Shinyan's charming eyes. She stared at Haig for a few seconds, then her left hand slipped down to the other party's shoulder, and her five fingers suddenly forced, forcefully pulling Haig's body towards her, and said in a clear and cold voice: "This is a contradiction between humans and humans. We have to rely on our own strength to solve the problem. Whether we win or lose, we don't borrow external forces. ”

Haig didn't understand Xinyan's words. It was still frowning, and its beautiful face looked a little disapproving: "Doesn't the master advocate the greatest victory with the smallest sacrifice?" ”

Xinyan retorted on the spot: "Everything has its own specific environment and factors. The essence of biological warfare is the destruction of mutated creatures. The dispute between us and the military must be resolved on our own, not by borrowing the power of mutated creatures. The world is messy enough, and if you release them out of the city, it will only cause more trouble. ”

Haig still clings to his stubbornness: "I mean for the time being, with the help of mutated creatures, not to turn a blind eye to them. As long as there is orderly control and guidance, the goal can be achieved, and there will be no casualties. Why ......"

"Enough"

Xinyan's face was as cold as an iceberg, and she stood up, stared at Haig condescendingly, held back her anger, and shouted in an unprecedentedly strict and tough tone: "You should consider the problem from the standpoint of a human being. Almost all of the contradictions in this world at this stage come from mutated organisms. They are our mortal enemies, and it is impossible for two races to coexist. Only madmen and idiots would use mutated creatures to kill their kind. If you're a mouse, then I can understand your thoughts at the moment. But Haig, you need to understand: you're no longer a bug or a mouse. You have become a real human being. You are the same as us, and we are no different from you. You are human and you are human"

The stubborn look on Haig's face faded away. In its place, there is deep contemplation.

It's still a little ignorant. It's not that Xinyan's words are profound, but in terms of understanding methods and ethnic concepts, Haig really finds it difficult to keep up with Xinyan's thinking. After all, it was less than a year since it was once a bug, then a mouse, then a monster, and really took on a human form.

South of the Yangtze River, about 50 kilometers northwest of the abandoned city of Xianfeng.

A group of heavily armed soldiers was marching at a rapid pace.

What was once a farmland has now been turned into a wilderness. As far as the eye can see, there are low shrubs and weeds everywhere. Without human trampling and destruction, plants are growing more luxuriant than ever. Even a small number of trees sprout more, and the densely stacked leaves cast out large shades in the sun

Suddenly, one of the soldiers walking in front let out a terrible scream, covered his eyes with his hands, and fell to the ground on the spot with his legs and feet weak, howling hoarsely and furiously.

The teams following behind immediately stopped, relying on the terrain to defend on the spot. Several soldiers helped their fallen companions to the side, and their faces began to turn pale with frightened and panicked expressions.

"What's going on? What exactly happened? Why stop? ”

A dark-skinned middle-aged major strode briskly forward from the middle of the group. He was a strong soldier, his bulging muscles almost bursting his battle suit, and his face was covered in sweat and glistening in the sun.

A litany of questions went unanswered. Behind him, a paramedic with a red cross armband on his left arm was running fast, arriving almost at the same time as the major. By the time the two men walked up to the wounded soldier, more people had already gathered around. They formed a circle near the soldiers, standing silently. The corners of someone's eyes twitched, someone's face showed obvious fear, and someone clenched the gun in their hand hard, but didn't know which direction to point the crosshairs?

The soldier was twitching all over his body, his muscles were as stiff as stones, his hands and ten fingers were spread out, his whole body was shaking desperately like chaff, and large clouds of white mucus poured out of his mouth. Although the medic had lifted his body high and tried to open his lips to see what was going on, he found that the soldier's teeth were clenched together without the slightest gap.

The medical soldier hurriedly untied his backpack, took out the morphine, and completed the whole process of extraction and injection in a few seconds at the fastest speed. However, the morphine injected into the soldier's body did not have the slightest effect. He was still having seizures like an epileptic patient, foaming at the mouth more and more.

The major stood by with gloomy eyes and watched, without speaking. The soldiers gathered nearby were equally silent, and the atmosphere in the clearing began to grow eerie, with only heavy breathing being heard from between the mouths and noses of the people.

First aid was not complicated, but the soldiers who fell to the ground did not improve in the slightest. Half a minute later, his breathing became difficult, his face swollen, and gradually turned a pale bluish purple like a pig's liver. Seeing this, the paramedics hurriedly cut the soldier's throat with a scalpel and inserted a hose connected to the portable oxygen tank.

The medic was sweating profusely as he did the work at hand. When he took out an energy potion from the foam-filled medicine box and was about to inject the soldier, the major took a few steps forward, waved his hand vigorously, and said in a low, angry tone, "Don't bother so much. The old rule is to send him to the back and hand him over to those people in the field hospital. Leave the potion behind. Perhaps, more people can be saved. ”

Raising his head, the Major only felt that his eyes were a little unresistantly sour. It was the feeling of sweat running down his forehead and into his eyes. Very irritating and extremely uncomfortable.

The major's headquarters is subordinate to the 10th Infantry Division of the Northern Theater and is Yuan Zhicheng's descendant.

According to the agreement agreed with Zhao Zhikai, Yuan Zhicheng sent twenty elite divisions. After the assembly is completed, they will be transported to different locations by different military trains or by the Air Force.

Depart from the base city of Xinlanzhou and arrive at the base in Xi'an. Then, hop on a bus and head south.

The New Wanzhou base is one of the important assembly points of this campaign, and it is also the preset supply station for the 10th infantry division. Since Xu Renjie's 71st Group Army had not been able to express its attitude, the military headquarters could only abandon the plan of using the base city of Xincheng as another assembly point and pull the offensive line directly to Xinguiyang, which was to the south.

It's from this time that weird things start to happen.

Due to the damage of the highway between the abandoned city of Wanzhou and Chongqing, the 10 infantry divisions could only choose the old highway. When arriving in the northwest of the abandoned city of Xianfeng, the accompanying vehicles and machinery suddenly broke down frequently. Although the accompanying maintenance personnel rushed to repair the repairs, they were always unable to keep up with the speed of damage to the parts.

Those glitches are really weird. Either the vehicle's exhaust pipe is inexplicably blocked, or the cooling pipe is ruptured. These failures are simply unbelievable and unpredictable. For this reason, the 10 commander was furious and strictly ordered the maintenance department to complete the repair of all the faulty vehicles within the specified time. Otherwise, all are engaged in military law.

The 10th infantry division belonged to the elite troops under Yuan Zhicheng. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the routine maintenance of vehicles and machinery. However, things are so strange that the frequency of failures is unimaginable. It was as if an invisible virus was spreading rapidly among vehicles and combat machinery. Those steel machines were infected and spread to each other, so much so that they were completely incapacitated in just ten minutes.

When the maintenance crew unwrapped the engine cover of a light infantry fighting vehicle, the major saw with his own eyes that several nuts that were supposed to be fastened were completely loosened and lying quietly on the hot metal plates. In this regard, the mechanic was surprised at first, and then instantly turned into a scolding.

The 10 in-class divisions have a strict maintenance guarantee system. All vehicles and combat machinery are maintained by dedicated personnel. Not to mention the loose nut cap, even the occasional mud or dirt on the surface of the vehicle must be cleaned as soon as it is discovered. It is simply unthinkable to have a loose failure in such an important area

Frequent breakdowns brought the 10th Infantry Division to a complete standstill, and long lines of troops and vehicles lined up on the road. Despite the efforts of the mechanics to rush the repairs, they could not change the status quo of the troops being trapped.

A heavy truck that had just been repaired, in less than ten minutes, stopped on the road again. The faulty node is the same as before the repair, and the cooling pipe is also ruptured.

It's so weird. This situation is completely beyond the normal scope of human understanding.

The division command unanimously determined that someone was engaged in sabotage. As a result, the perimeter guard force extended the search line to two kilometers along the road, and found nothing but a few refugees who wandered around the wilderness in search of food.

Since there are no external factors to disturb, the problem must come from within oneself.

The search and troubleshooting began. All vehicles that have been repaired are pooled and placed under the care of Judge Advocate General. Drivers must undergo a rigorous body search before boarding the vehicle to confirm that they are not carrying destructive tools or objects before returning to work. But even so, vehicles and machinery continue to break down. Many of the military judges who accompanied the car responded that the driver and soldiers were fine, but the vehicle broke down.

This is no longer a strange phenomenon that can be solved by manpower. The command of the 10th Infantry Division hurriedly reported the situation to the military headquarters, but the military headquarters questioned this. By the time the inspectors arrived at the scene by plane and had confirmed that the incident was correct, a full 48 hours had passed.

The military headquarters soon issued a new order: abandon all vehicles and combat machinery, and advance on foot with the whole division.

It's not just the 10 Walkers who are experiencing this kind of problem. Several other units from the Northern Theater of Operations, as well as friendly forces from the Eastern Front, also encountered frequent vehicle breakdowns. Although the coordinates and locations of the various participating divisions and regiments were different, they basically encountered failures in the area hundreds of kilometers away from the new Guiyang base city. It wasn't a standard number of radius, but it barely made an irregular circle on the map.

Walking is even worse than riding in a vehicle. Along the way, soldiers were constantly feeling unwell. It was a very strange symptom: first the eye felt a strong irritation like wind oil essence entering the eye, followed by a rapid heartbeat, a fever all over the body, and then the signs of seizures in an epileptic patient. Those who are strict can't even breathe.

In this regard, the senior commanders of 10 Pei had no choice but to immediately send the sick soldiers to the field hospital set up in the rear. At the same time, blood is drawn from the patient's body, a biological sample is made, and it is sent to the Beijing No. 1 base for analysis.

More and more officers and men in the unit fell ill, and within 24 hours, tens of thousands of people had already fallen one after another. To transport the wounded, oxygen and medicines, the rear base city sent a huge helicopter transport cluster. Strangely, the air forces do not seem to be affected by the mysterious glitch and are still functioning normally.

The division commander and chief of staff of the 10th Infantry Division fell yesterday. Dying, they were taken to the rear hospital. In this case, the command of the division and regiment can only be delegated from level to level, and the deputy division commander will take over.

The further you go, the worse it gets. Sick officers and soldiers can appear almost at any time. The deputy division commander fell, and the regiment commander who took over also felt unwell, and the deputy regiment commander and battalion commander ...... Up to now, the major, who originally served as the deputy of the third battalion of the 10th regiment, has become the only remaining holder of the highest rank in the division. And the soldiers who have followed him until now are less than three hundred left.

The sick soldier, who had fallen into a coma, was picked up on his back and hurried back along the road from which he came. Looking at the distant back, the major suddenly felt a sense of relief.

They are not really "sick". Whether it is the original author or the soldier who has just left, as long as he arrives at the field hospital and rests for a period of time, his physical condition can be restored to the same state as before. The irritation of the eyes and the symptoms of epilepsy seemed to have never appeared in them, and they were all false and useless illusions

The morning before yesterday, the Beijing No. 1 base reported the results of the analysis of the blood samples of the "patients". All blood samples were taken from people who met health standards, and no viral agents were found in the blood samples, and there were no signs of bacterial invasion or infection. If these blood samples were assessed on a 100-point scale, their health status would be above 95 points.

The military headquarters sent a large medical research team to conduct a detailed survey of the area where the 10 infantry divisions were marching. Unfortunately, no abnormalities were found in the soil, water, or air, but as long as we moved in the direction of New Guiyang, the same symptoms as the "patients" would continue to appear. What is even more terrifying is that if they refuse to leave within half an hour, the "patient" will die on the spot.

"This is a new type of virus that has never been seen before."

"No, this is supposed to be a new type of agent that spreads in the air. It is likely to act directly on the surface of the human body and penetrate through the guò skin, thus achieving a debilitating effect on the internal organs. It has different effects on the human body in regional concentrations, which explains why soldiers returning to field hospitals can be cured? ”

"Do they dare to use poison to hinder the advance of the troops? So why didn't the poison have an effect on the defenders in the direction of New Guiyang? ”

"This ...... Probably, the 505 Army has developed a corresponding antidote. They have the backing of the Academy of Sciences, and any unexpected situation can be understood. ”

Similar claims and speculations have been spread everywhere in the Beijing No. 1 Research Center. But no one can come up with enough evidence, so they can only grope in the direction of speculation in order to find a solution to the problem.

The major did not give the order to move on. In this way, a team of more than 300 people stayed in the field and communicated with the military headquarters through long-distance communication.

He was annoyed and didn't want to go any further.

Those bastards in the military department are blind people with open eyes. Can't they see that this qiē is all an obstacle set up by the 505 group soldiers?
