"We need researchers in this area."

Chen Yanlin forced himself to speak in a tone with enough humility: "It's just a lieutenant, he is not equipped with combat personnel, and the establishment is subordinate to the new equipment development department." What do you think?"

Xu Renjie on the screen looked solemn.

It can be seen that Chen Yanlin's attitude on this matter is very tough.

Lu Zhengxiong and others suppressed the promotion order, which obviously made him extremely angry. As a general, you also have to endure the suppression of the commander of the army group when dealing with such matters...... Although his expression was flat, Xu Renjie could still feel the atmosphere of sulfur as if a volcano was about to erupt.

The control of power by means of repression is necessary, and attention must be paid to the elasticity of the forces of opposition.

When appropriate, a small concession can be made, but not without a bottom line.

"Then according to your original intentions, promote him to second lieutenant."

Xu Renjie spoke very politely, and forcibly compressed the military rank that Chen Yanlin had just proposed by two levels: "The order is issued directly to Li Daoyuan, and no one should interfere in the middle." I will notify the personnel department for the record. Rest assured! It won't happen again. It was just an accident......"

The call ended quickly, and Chen Yanlin sat in his chair, anger rising in his eyes, and gradually extinguished

Xu Renjie needs to ensure absolute power and majesty, and it is not worth deliberately angering him for some small matter

Anyway, his purpose is just that young man named Su Hao.

This attachment may seem incomprehensible to outsiders. But Chen Yanlin also has his own explanation for this.

He was very familiar with Wang Qinian—this filthy, obscene, and even evil old fat man was very unlikable. However, in terms of recognizing and employing people, he has a shrewd vision that no one can match

Xiao Lin's jealousy and anger made Su Hao become a researcher by mistake.

Although Wang Qinian punished the personnel involved in the Archives Bureau of the Academy of Sciences, he did not revoke the relevant personnel orders on Su Hao. Moreover, in just a few months, Su Hao has been promoted two levels in a row, from the original "D3" researcher to the current "Dl".

Dean Fat has never gone wrong in this regard. If it weren't for his fancies, how could a particularly outstanding elite rise rapidly in such a short period of time?

This is the basis for Chen Yanlin's confidence.

If Su Hao can prove that Bai Ji is an excellent talent who can be of great use, Chen Yanlin will not hesitate to give him a higher military rank, and even does not hesitate to turn his face with Xu Renjie.

Because he also needs cronies, he needs confidants.

Only with a reliable team can you be qualified to fight.

The camp to the east of the city has been overrun by zombies.

Explosions, roars, screams, gunfires...... These sounds, which are usually associated with the word "death", are like magnets that attract the keen auditory nerves of zombies. After the fighting and chaos, hundreds of dead bodies were left in the camp. It's impossible for any zombie to resist the temptation of fresh flesh. They became anxious and irritable, huddled outside the barricades, howling and scratching. This disorderly and frantic behavior cannot change the reality of the situation, and the brainless zombies will only judge the specific location of food or targets based on their sense of hearing and smell.

They choose the nearest road.

It's like a visitor in a zoo teasing a bear with fruit, who only opens his mouth wide through the railing, but doesn't think of slapping the keeper to death and walking out of the iron gate. Then bite the tourists to death, the human flesh is used as the main course, and the fruit is reserved for dessert after the meal.

The dark red blood corpse was obviously a little bit smarter than the normal zombie.

They were unable to climb over the barricades of the collapsed buildings, but looked for new entrances along either side of the barricades.

The blind man's elephant-like behavior continued for nearly twenty-four hours, and several bloody corpses finally found a loose crack on the south side of the barricade. These hungry creatures bang their shoulders, push with their hands, and bite their teeth at ...... The crack, which had barely allowed one person to pass through, quickly grew, and a tidal wave of corpses swarmed in, completely flooding the entire camp.

There were no living people there, only corpses.

There is still a period of time before the Spring Festival, and Su Hao's team has begun to prepare various materials needed for the New Year in advance.

Lao Song led people to pick up a lot of voles in the wild - these small animals that shrank in the nest and rely on food storage for the winter are very fat, and when they peel off their skin, they are white and tender fat. After the entrails are cut out, the head and feet are cut off, and after they are cleaned, the rat meat is roasted over a charcoal fire and sprinkled with salt, chili peppers, and various spices. Roast until semi-dry, and then beat it repeatedly with a small hammer to make the rat meat loose and dry, and the umami and aroma naturally penetrate into it.

There are a lot of fish caught from the river. Some of them are scaled and dried to dry, while others are coated in the coastal areas, where crushed fish is mixed with flour to make fish balls or coated into sausages.

On New Year's Day, the team members at the "castle" and the various camps ate rice cakes and dumplings one by one, and there were a lot of turnips and cabbage in the cellar, mixed with chopped luncheon meat and sausages, as well as sauerkraut and vermicelli...... Although there was no fresh pork, the dumplings were not very delicious, but everyone ate a lot. Plus wine and sweets, cigarettes....... On that day, everyone was happy, with a happy and contented expression on their faces.

This joyful atmosphere affects everyone who surrenders.

They found that these people were actually similar to themselves.

There is no discrimination in this team and people are very kind to each other.

Even characters like the captain are easy to get along with. The elderly, children, and women are not oppressed because they are thin, and they receive a slightly smaller food ration than men, but enough to eat.

As for rape, persecution of women and the like, at least until now, it has never happened.

The surrenderers were held in a building opposite the bank building. The guards are not strict, they are very lenient. The guards were kind and often talked and laughed with the captives.

Clothing and badges are the hallmarks that distinguish the core and peripheral personnel of "Sheng Fei". Except for Luo Jingpeng and Lin Zhou, all the core members of the group in the camp were killed. This amounts to a loss of control over the periphery to some extent. What's more, these people were originally refugees from various cities by the "Sheng Fei" group who were lured by food and threatened with force. There is no loyalty at all.

"I think it's good to be here. At least don't worry about eating. These people are not like the instructors in the northern base who will beat and scold us, and they will not kick people out of the hall to feed the zombies for some kind of mistake. ”

"They talk and act very well. It made me feel safe. They shouldn't let me die because of someone's likes and dislikes. ”

"Hey! Do you see the guns in their hands? It's all standard equipment. I bet – these people must have ties to the military. It's always better to follow them than to follow Sheng Fei's side before. At least, I know that their leader is called Su Hao, and I have said a few words to him. What's the name of the boss over there? It seems to be surnamed Lin or something...... I don't like them when they used to be arrogant and high-minded......"

Zhou Hao tested all the prisoners of war with blood samples every week – and from the data recorded in the table, the number of black particles in each person's body increased to varying degrees. In particular, those who were most familiar with the guards had surrendered personnel, and the proportion of black particles in their blood had exceeded the standard "4", and soon reached the standard "5".

There was a pot on the stove, and the soup in the pot was already boiling. The air is filled with the strong aroma of meat and the smell of various spices. Through the swirling steam, you can see sliced ham, sparkling shellfish, and other things such as radish, tofu skin, and vermicelli in the soup.

Su Hao and Wu Guoguang sat next to the hot pot, raising their wine glasses from time to time to take a big sip of spicy liquor. On the table next to it are a canned luncheon meat, a plate of vinegared cabbage, and a plate of fried peanuts.

This is a small bank building. On New Year's Day, Su Hao invited Wu Guoguang to come over for dinner. But it was too busy at that time: logistical supplies, immunization injections for survivors, inventory of supplies...... Wu Guoguang has no leisure at all. If it weren't for the fact that he had dealt with a lot of things yesterday and had a little more time, he wouldn't be sitting here now

Meat dishes such as ham and scallops are collected from shops in the city.

The vegetables are grown by the team members themselves.

It's not too difficult to put together a hot pot table for two people in a small bank building.

"You made a lot of noise about that incident some time ago."

Wu Guoguang picked up a crunchy peanut and put it in his mouth, chewed it, picked up the "Wuliangye" on the table next to him to fill up his and Su Hao's cups, and said seriously: "Those groups are very powerful, you shouldn't provoke them." ”

Su Hao said lightly: "I don't want to have multiple enemies inexplicably. But there are some things that must be done since they have encountered them. ”

Wu Guoguang raised his head, and his expression was very complicated through the hazy steam.

Su Hao told him about Tang Zi.

The girl was pitiful - her boyfriend was killed by the people of the "Sheng Fei" group, and she was raped again. was able to escape at that time, if it wasn't for Su Hao's help, but for being caught by the chase, the result was ...... Just thinking about it, I feel a kind of terrifying heart-palpitating fear.

This world has long been in chaos.

Wu Guoguang picked up the cup in front of him, stared at the transparent liquid that emitted a rich and mellow fragrance inside, and suddenly tilted his neck and poured it down. Suddenly, a strong spicy sensation flowed down the throat straight down the throat, and a flame rose in the stomach.

During the time he was stationed at the monitoring station, Wu Guoguang saw too many tragic things.

There was a man outside the garrison headquarters who had gone mad. He wandered the road every day, killing several zombies like a hunter, and then cutting off the carrion from the corpses to satisfy his hunger. One of the soldiers saw that he was pitiful, so he sent him a few compressed biscuits, but the man ignored them at all, but concentrated on eating the stinky meat that was almost like a concentrated paste.

There was a woman, very beautiful. She cooks in a small team on the west side of the city, taking turns sleeping with the men to get food and water. Two weeks ago, the team was surrounded by corpses, and the woman escaped. She had been wandering the streets, hungry to the point of madness. When the soldiers went out to search, they found that the woman had been grabbed by several other men, her legs had been cut off, and a lot of Yunnan Baiyao had been sprinkled on the wound to stop the bleeding. The water in the pot next to it was boiling, and there was stewed in the simmer of chopped leg meat and the sole of a foot with its fingernail removed.

During the training at the northern base, the instructor repeatedly admonished: "It is not allowed to meddle in any affairs between the commoners and the wealthy consortium." In addition to giving them immunizers, you can also distribute small amounts of food appropriately. But it must be remembered that whatever you see, do not care or ask. We have only one enemy, and that's the damn mutated creatures. ”

Wu Guoguang felt that his nerves had become numb.

He appreciated Su Hao's ability to save Tang Zi.

Even, some envy.

"Your tactical plan is good, and your personnel and weapons are reasonable. It's time to teach those guys a good lesson. They are very ambitious and want to take everyone as slaves. If you don't kill them, they'll turn against you. ”

With a long snort of drunken wine, Wu Guoguang picked up a large slice of ham from the pot and said vaguely while eating: "These people under your command are very strong in combat. There's nothing better than going head-to-head to get a workout. Thousands of captives were captured at once, which is not uncommon. But then again, they're civilians, not even militia. These people consume a lot of food every day. Well...... What are you going to do? Keeping them like that?"

Su Hao smiled and said, "I'm going to build a farm outside the city." Someone had already been sent to look after the place, and the land began to be cultivated almost when the weather was warm. ”

Wu Guoguang nodded: "Speaking of farming, there are many people in the northern suburbs, and they have built a castle. It is said that the leader is an old man surnamed Song. ”

"I know it."

Su Hao said calmly: "They control many gas stations in the city, and I have been exchanging food for fuel with them. Those people were fair and didn't let me suffer. ”

Speaking of this, Su Hao changed the topic: "There is one thing, I have to ask you." ”

Wu Guoguang stopped the chopsticks that were reaching out to the pot and looked at him intently.

Su Hao clapped his hands, the door was pushed open from the outside, and five people came in———— Tao Yuan and Li Xiaomei, as well as the baby in his arms. As for the other two, they are Lu Tao and Lu Nuoer.

"I know you're choosing. Several of them are fighters that I recommend to you. ”

Wu Guoguang sat up straight, put down his chopsticks, and vigorously wiped the thick stubble on his chin, frowning subconsciously.

Among the four people, only Tao Yuan was still eye-catching.

Although Lu Tao is a man, he is young enough, but his body is very thin, he looks slender and tall, with no muscles and no strength.

Lu Nuo'er is beautiful. This kind of beauty that simply stays on the appearance is directly filtered by Wu Guoguang, and the beautiful girl is not lethal to the zombies. Those monsters eat meat only to see new and not fresh, fat women and fat may be more attractive to them.

As for Li Xiaomei...... She is a typical housewife. Weak, timid, and barely speaks.

What's more, she still has a child in her arms.

Wu Guoguang turned his gaze to Su Hao, his eyes full of doubts.

Su Hao smiled and raised his glass: "They are the best warriors, and they will definitely not disappoint you." ”

Wu Guoguang asked, "Are you sure?"

There was no emotion in his tone.

He instinctively felt that this should be what Su Hao wanted to do to divert the difficulty.

After all, these people don't look like fighters no matter how you look at them.

The baby in that woman's arms, in particular, could be the crux of the matter.

In an environment like a small bank building, it is difficult to raise children. If you send it to the Chengdu base with your parents, you can naturally get milk powder and other things.

Wu Guoguang nodded silently. He didn't want to argue about this kind of thing———— enough people died. It's always good to have a child who survives.

At least, do something for those poor survivors......

The dinner didn't last long, and Wu Guoguang also controlled the amount of alcohol and didn't get drunk, but his steps were already a little vain.

He was very happy - anyway, since Su Hao was a researcher, he was equivalent to his own people, and there were many topics to communicate with each other. Giving those five people to himself as warriors is a shirk of the burden, but it also shows that this young man is not ruthless.

Li Li helped Wu Guoguang out of the small building and got into the off-road vehicle.

"There's something I need to warn you—"

When the driver was about to start the engine, Su Hao walked to the window and said to Wu Guoguang seriously: "Zombies are evolving. Many of them have already undergone a second mutation. The last time you saw the red blood corpses, there will be more and more of them. I'd suggest you'd better follow the above and ask for reinforcements, or simply cancel the station. ”

Wu Guoguang smiled and nodded repeatedly.

It can be seen that he didn't take Su Hao's advice to heart.

The buggy was quickly gone.

Zhou Chen walked out of the small building, stood behind Su Hao, and asked nervously, "...... Didn't find it?"

Su Hao looked at the car shadow in the distance and shook his head: "He and Du Tianhao are almost the same kind of people. If something goes wrong, it erupts at the time, rather than holding back all the time. ”

Inviting Wu Guoguang to dinner is not without purpose.

Shinyan chooses a ring from the jewelry store.

She opened the ring with a file, making a tiny barb in the part facing the palm of her hand. This thing is very sharp, and when you shake hands, it will pierce the other person's skin, but it doesn't hurt much, it's not sensitive, and it doesn't even bleed.

The tip of the metal spike was smeared with a little of Su Hao's blood. It is impossible for him to forcibly knock down Wu Guoguang and inject him. Although the blood smeared on the ring was small, it was enough to allow the black particles to enter the Martial Kingdom's light body.

The same method has already been tried on Li Li. Su Hao wants to see if it is possible for him and Wu Guoguang to become his "worker bees"?

It was a covert experiment. As for how to get a new blood sample from the two people in a month, that is the next step.
