Chapter 108: The First Battle
Chapter 108: The First Battle
After observing the effect of the explosion and then we began to return, in fact, there was nothing to observe, the raging flames burned the flesh fully, and in less than ten minutes there was nothing to move in the square, only some zombies at the very edge were not splashed by the incendiary agent, but the heat completely carbonized their clothes and skin, they looked like piles of coke wandering aimlessly, I was even glad that they had lost their sense of pain, otherwise I really don't know what they should do, If I were to encounter something like this, I would definitely give myself a shot, but if I was really roasted like that, I guess even suicide would be a luxury.
"I can't imagine that humans would use this kind of thing on their own kind." I muttered to myself as I returned home.
"Any living thing kills each other, it's just that humans have a little more tricks." Rocky smiled and patted me on the shoulder.
"Less." I clapped his hand away and said, "How many zombies have we destroyed?" ”
Pony looked at the computer and said, "According to the results of the investigation, 67% of the zombies in the city have been destroyed, and less than 30% of the remaining zombies can move freely except for some zombies trapped in specific areas, and this city is ours." ”
"Whew" I couldn't help but sigh out, finally there was some good news.
"Okay, hurry back, we're going to organize a ground cleanup, and this time we're going to do a big job." I yelled to put unrealistic worries behind me.
However, when we were about to land, we found that there seemed to be something abnormal on the dam, Professor Xia was arguing with Wang Tao about something and Guo Jiaming was not present, although I didn't believe that anything would happen on the dam, but living in danger for a long time made me develop a good habit of being cautious, I patted Rocky and said, "You guys are on guard on it, I'll go down and take a look." Then I jumped off the plane.
When I fell to the ground, I startled the people present, and I walked over to Professor Xia and smiled, "What's wrong?" Why did you have time to run to the construction site? ”
As soon as Professor Xia saw me coming, he immediately grabbed my arm as if he had found the backbone, and said, "You came just in time, hurry up and ask him to send me two people for me." ”
I was stunned and said, "It's okay to send someone, but you have to tell me what you want to do." ”
"He asked someone to help him carve the slate, I really don't know what this old man thinks." Wang Tao complained, it seemed that he was annoyed enough by Professor Xia, and as soon as he spoke, he was resentful.
"What do you think!" Professor Xia suddenly shouted angrily: "Didn't I tell you, I want to engrave all my knowledge on the stone slab and preserve it, this is a major matter related to whether human civilization can be passed on, but you are not responsible for human beings." ”
Wang Tao pursed his lips, not taking the old man's words seriously at all, but muttered: "The civilization of fart, people are dying, what do you want to be civilized." ”
"What did you say?" Professor Xia pointed at Wang Tao and said angrily: "Even if the human race is completely extinct, as long as these relics of civilization are preserved, it can prove that we have existed, even if it is 10,000 years, 100,000 years, or millions of years, as long as it is seen by intelligent life, you will know that there has been a great civilization on this earth, do you understand?" ”
Professor Xia was so excited that he almost yelled on Wang Tao's face, causing Wang Tao to avoid his spitting stars, I quickly pulled the angry old man and persuaded: "He doesn't understand, don't be like him, I'm in charge of this matter, send you four people, you can use it however you want, okay?" ”
Professor Xia saw that I agreed to his request, so he straightened his clothes and said: "You still have knowledge, I don't want these boys to fight and kill in addition to eating and drinking, I'm waiting for you to send someone over for me, hurry up." After saying that, the old man walked away with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Professor Xia walk away, I turned around and asked Wang Tao: "Why are you here alone, Lao Guo?" ”
"Lao Guo fainted just now and was picked up by Pauline and Wen Na, as if to say that he has evolved again." Wang Tao said.
"Oh" I put my heart at ease and said to Wang Tao: "Tell everyone to rest today, have a meal in the evening, and let's go into the city tomorrow." ”
"Are you still sending the people who gave Professor Xia anything?" Wang Tao asked.
"Pai, pick four careful people to send over, you must meet Professor Xia's requirements, and from today onwards, Professor Xia will enjoy priority protection like the children, and his safety must be guaranteed no matter what." I added.
"Don't you need to do this!" Wang Tao wailed: "Isn't it just an old man with no combat effectiveness, as for it." ”
I smiled and said, "If any of us here dies, it's just a loss of a fighter, but if Professor Xia dies, we really have nothing." After speaking, I patted Wang Tao, who was stunned, and turned around to leave.
"That's right!" Just after walking a few steps, I turned around and reminded Wang Tao: "You'd better not offend Professor Xia, the cultural heart is dark, if he engraves you Wang Tao on the stone slab, it won't be a matter of ten thousand years, it will be a million years." "In Wang Tao's wail, I walked towards the dam with brisk steps, I have to go and see how Lao Guo is, this guy's evolution is a big trouble, I estimate that people below the third order will be dumbfounded.
I ran to the infirmary and saw Guo Jiaming lying on the bed sleeping peacefully, his body was shrouded in a faint halo as usual, and Pauline was teaching Liang Yaqiu how to control the butterfly dart, and when I saw me come in, Pauline put away her butterfly dart and said, "I'm back, why didn't Rocky come over?" ”
This girl is always fierce when she sees Rocky, and she is always worried when she can't see it, I really don't understand what the structure of her brain is, but in order not to burn herself, I still replied honestly: "Oh, Lao Luo, they are parking the plane, I am anxious to see that Lao Guo came first." ”
"That's right." Bao Lin looked back at Lao Guo and said, "Brother Guo is fine, I guess I will wake up tomorrow night." ”
"How can it take so long?" I asked with some confusion, normally it only takes one day and one night to evolve from the first order to the second order, but according to Bao Lin, the evolution time of Lao Guo is obviously much longer.
"Brother Guo evolved because of the overuse of the ability, and during this time, in order to understand the thoughts of the people on the dam, he has been using the ability, so his evolution is dangerous, but there will be no problem with me and Sister Na." Pauline explained.
I just remembered that there are more people who have integrated us through this time, and it is impossible for the thinking to be as unified as before, Lao Guo should have been using his ability to monitor those people because he was afraid that someone would have bad intentions, but he didn't expect to tire himself down, I think if there was no Bao Lin and Wen Na's care, Lao Guo would probably not be able to listen to it this time.
"Take good care of Brother Guo, don't let him have an accident." I looked at Lao Guo's sleeping face and whispered to Paulin.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Pauline replied in a low voice, and I nodded and walked out of the infirmary.
At dinner, I asked Qi Yuhang to play a video of our large-scale destruction of zombies in the dining room, which caused a group of people to cheer, these guys did not feel deeply at the scene of that cruel scene, as if people like to watch war movies, but lack of understanding of the cruelty of war, and then I announced that I would clean up the ground of the remaining zombies in the small town, and it was naturally approved by a high vote, but for the sake of safety, I still decided that the two brigades would take turns to enter the city, which was convenient for command and management, It won't make too much noise, after all, there are at least twenty or thirty thousand zombies in the city, and some mutated zombies have not appeared in the square, and it is easy to cause unnecessary casualties if you rashly bring everyone away.
Although the two brigades are vying to go, I still decided to take a large team first, and I will be in charge of commanding, Han Bing and Tang Yiquan will be my deputies, anyway, Lao Guo's own combat effectiveness is not strong and it is still evolving, it is normal for me to take the command of the brigade first, and with Tang Yiquan's zombie control, there should be no danger, speaking of Tang Yiquan, this guy has recovered a lot after this period of time, and gradually integrated into our collective, no longer like when he first came, always thinking about his brothers.
After breakfast the next day, I left the three squadron leaders of the first brigade and Tang Yiquan behind, and began to arrange the operation, to be honest, I have stayed with Rocky for so long, and I have learned a lot about basic tactical command, at least I am sure of organizing such an operation, and the three squadron leaders of the first brigade, Gangzi, Zhang Wanming and Han Bing, are also handy in commanding.
I turned on the projector and projected a map of the small city onto the wall and said to the four of them: "The main purpose of our operation this time is to train the troops, so that our people can familiarize themselves with and apply what they have learned through actual combat, and second, to clear out a safe area and expand our activity area in the city, but the most important thing is the safety of everyone, if there is any danger, retreat immediately, and never allow anything disobedient to the command to happen, understand?" ”
"Understood." The four of them replied in unison, but I still warned Gangzi uneasily: "If you dare to disobey my command and come arbitrarily, I will personally break your hands and feet and hang you on the dam to dry, do you hear clearly?" ”
Gangzi wiped a shiny brain shell and said: "Don't worry, what you say, I will never disobey, but if it is ......." ”
"No, yes!" Before Gangzi could finish speaking, I interrupted him and said, "No matter what happens, you must obey my command, otherwise you will keep me here honestly, understand?" ”
"Understood." Gangzi replied with a slump of his head.
Seeing that this kid finally stopped being high-profile, I continued: "Gangzi and Zhang Wanming's squadron is responsible for cleaning up zombies floor by building and house by house, and you must clean up the zombies in the designated area one by one, but you must pay attention to covering each other and try to avoid unnecessary casualties, is it clear?" “
"Clear!" Gangzi and Zhang Wanming replied in unison.
"Han Bing, you take your squadron to be responsible for covering the fire, if there is an accident, you must resist to the death until the other two squadrons are assembled and retreat, in order for you to better complete the task, I will assign Tang Yiquan to you, I believe you two can complete this task." I looked at Han Bing and Tang Yiquandao.
"Resolutely complete the task!" In the end, they were born as soldiers, and the answers of the two people were very powerful, which made me feel like a leader.
After the task was arranged, I drove out of the dam with a well-equipped team, and I sat in the truck and asked Qi Yuhang next to me: "How is the situation over there?" Is there anything out of the ordinary? ”
"It's okay, there aren't many zombies in this area, and the distribution is quite regular, nothing abnormal, are you nervous?" Qi Yuhang turned his head and looked at me with a suspicious look.
"Nervous fart, I haven't seen any winds and waves." I said in a nonchalant tone.
"Come on, it seems like the first time you've commanded so many people, don't you have a bottom in your heart without Brother Luo and the pony?" Qi Yuhang grinned and poked me with his elbow.
I scratched my head and said, "It's really a little weak, you kid can give me a clear idea, if something goes wrong with you, it's going to be troublesome." ”
Qi Yuhang smiled: "Don't worry, I have assigned the receiver to the squad for you, you can mobilize them at any time, and I also bring four drones as air support, it is not a big problem." ”
I thought for a while and said, "Just leave the command of the team to the four of them, I don't follow along, and now I'm afraid that it will be troublesome if a mutated one suddenly pops out." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I have monitored all sides of the operation area, as long as there are special signs, I will notify you as soon as possible." Qi Yuhang is very confident in his surveillance system.
"That's up to you." I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes, commanding so many people was more challenging than going it on hand with mutated zombies, and I had to adjust myself to the best for any unexpected events that might arise.
I adjusted my breathing to relax my body completely, and my anxious heart calmed down, this was a test for me, I can't always fight alone, I have to be a good commander, this will be the first battle of my commanding career, I have to do my best to complete it.
