If someone is lucky enough to walk into the deepest secret warehouse at the bottom of the "castle", they will definitely be shocked by what appears in front of them.

There are hundreds of thousands of white crystals piled up here, hundreds of thermostatic refrigerators filled with rotten hormones, the drawers of the portable safe glittering with silver bones, and the vacuum hoses filled with blood are neatly arranged...... Just looking at it, I can't help but feel the urge to take it all for myself.

These are just some of the treasures.

In the opposite direction of the basement of the "castle", there is another secret warehouse of a smaller size.

This is a secret workshop, and only core members of the team, including Lao Song, Du Tianhao, and Cao Rui, can enter. The room is small in size, with only a few sets of tables and chairs. In order to reduce the chance of detection, the room uses a lot of camouflage, there are no doors, and the walls must be turned to enter the hallway with a trap. For safety reasons, Dong Guoping even got a set of heavy-duty bulletproof gates from a military warehouse, which were firmly embedded in the wall

There are four small energy converters in the room that were produced according to the drawings left by Su Hao. With the support of sufficient materials, Lao Song has already prepared more than 600 alpha-grade gene medicines. These potions have never been used, and only a few people know about their existence. As an experiment, Lao Song has sent more than 300 "worker bees" to India, Afghanistan, Russia and other countries. They will build a new "hive" in the local area, and after making sure that the local people have the foundation to become "worker bees" and absolutely no anomalies, they will conduct new experiments in the local area. If the "worker bees" who take the alpha gene medicine will not have the same experience as Yue Zhennan, it means that there is indeed an essential difference between the first-level gene medicine and the alpha gene medicine. At that time, Su Hao will be able to take it and make himself stronger.

That's the benefit of having a base and a logistics group. Many things that cannot be operated by yourself can be left to the "castle" and the rear team to complete. Su Hao only needs to continue to gain power in the military and obtain more resources and equipment.

Beijing No. 1 base, No. 4 conference room on the 16th basement floor.

As the large electronic screen played the last picture of the Battle of the Lujiang River and re-showed a large blue background, the conference room, which had been silent for a long time, gradually became noisy.

"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable that there is such a way of fighting."

"Looks like we're all overestimating those mutated creatures. They are not intelligent after all, and it takes time to redevelop new thinking systems from collapsed cranial nerves, and they have clearly not yet gone through the entire evolutionary process. This is our best chance. A counterattack should be launched on all fronts, if not all of them, at least most of the occupied cities can be recovered. ”

"Fight beautifully, fight flexibly, eclectic. That's what we want. This battle video should be popularized throughout the army, and I believe that we can win this war, and we can win ————."

The atmosphere at the meeting became more and more enthusiastic, the discussion among the generals was loud, and the people were emotional, waving their arms from time to time and making all kinds of powerful body movements. There are also those who remain in the role of listeners, with smiles on their faces and eyes on their eyes.

Admiral Zhao Zhikai sat on the main seat of the conference table, cleared his throat vigorously, and said in his usual calm tone: "Please be quiet and speak later." ”

"This is a combat record taken in the field by the 517 Infantry Division. They submitted their operational plan to the military headquarters last week, and after reviewing it, the General Staff Headquarters unanimously agreed that it was extremely feasible. Together with the Academy of Sciences, we sent a battlefield observation team to conduct on-the-spot inspections, and what you just saw were the combat results of the 517th Division and the 11th Independent Army. ”

"They used a very clever approach, using the terrain wisely and setting all kinds of traps. As you can see just now, the metal cylinder dropped by the helicopter on the screen is actually a condensed animal pheromone. Since there is a food chain and genetic instinct between animals, the contrast between the strength and weakness of natural predators is very obvious. Releasing in a cluster of mutated organisms will trigger a coercive mass transfer. The 517th Division did a good job in this regard, using the genetic characteristics of mutated creatures and adopting the method of information drive, so that the number of mutated creatures as many as tens of thousands of them was lured into the ambush circle and annihilated by the preset high-density firepower network. According to the report sent back by the on-site observation team, at least more than 30,000 mutated creatures were eliminated in this battle, and the exact number is still being counted, and the benefits of silver bones and hedrons are very lucrative...... The most important thing is that there were no human losses in this battle, and the casualty rate was zero ————"

The admiral dragged out the last word for a long time, bringing a loud enough accent in the conference room.

A major general with black-rimmed glasses and a serious expression bowed slightly, raised his hands, and clapped his hands vigorously

His movements immediately resonated with the other attendees. Second, third...... Soon, the sparse applause became neat and enthusiastic, as loud as thunder.

"If we can win, we will win."

"This war will not be fought for a long time, we are smarter than those mutated creatures, we have intelligence, and this is the most important key."

"The problem shouldn't be as bad as we originally thought, and with this way of playing, it won't be difficult to destroy mutated creatures at all. Maybe by this time next year, we'll have reclaimed all the abandoned cities and things will be back on track. ”

Nobody likes war. Even military personnel who are in their profession yearn for peace.

"And most importantly———— there were no violations in this battle of the 517th Division."

The admiral sat upright with a smile on his face: "The battlefield observation team has been very strict in its review, they have not used more than the prescribed amount of explosives, and there is no large-scale artillery coverage and bombardment, and all tactical actions are in line with the new standards and specifications." It's no exaggeration to say that this is our best record since the outbreak of the virus

A gray-haired lieutenant general nodded approvingly: "They should be rewarded, every soldier is like this, a group reward." ”

Next to him, a brigadier general in his forties clenched his fists with great ambition: "It is necessary to reward the relevant personnel, especially those who put forward the operational plan and formulate the implementation plan." It is precisely because of their efforts that the war situation will continue to improve. Promotion, limited supplies, rest, ...... All in all, try to meet their requirements as much as possible, and the rewards and punishments are clear, which is the most important thing. ”

The voices of discussion are getting louder and louder, and the enthusiastic atmosphere is constantly stimulating the brains, and the generals are constantly simulating the battle situation on the electronic map, discussing the new tactics that the 517 Division has just used, and deducing the battle situation that may change in the near time in the future according to the ratio of troops, weapons and equipment of the troops in each theater, as well as the number of cities and terrain in the region.

On the chair at the right of the bar table sat an old man with snow-white hair.

Despite his appearance, he looked old, at least over seventy years old, but the lines on his face were still rough and hard. The bridge of the nose is high, and the head is raised all the time. This action makes the old man's gaze have to be tilted downward, and when looking at people or objects, it forms a downward gaze with obvious arrogant elements from top to bottom. His thin lips pursed, and his eyes shrewdly sparkled with a sly look, as if there was speculation or doubt about everything. The deep wrinkles on the face depict the years and experience, and the majesty of everything.

To be able to sit in this room, in a chair closer to the main seat than anyone else, is the best expression of power in itself.

Like Zhao Zhikai, the cuffs of the old man's military uniform are hand-embroidered with gold patterns, and the resume on his chest is lined with dense commander's symbols. Along the straight uniform, on either side of the shoulder, you can see a pair of general's badges that glow gold.

As the supreme ruler of the Yuan family, although Yuan Zhicheng's position in the military department is not as admirable as Zhao Zhikai's, he also controls important departments with considerable weight. It may be an exaggeration to use words like "chamber resistance," but on some key issues, if Yuan Zhicheng expresses his opposition, many people in the joint meeting of the military department will side with him.

He coughed a few times, drawing attention in the simplest of ways, and the conversation in the room gradually calmed down.

"I have to admit that these young people are indeed full of imagination, dare to think and do, fight in an eclectic way, and there is no lack of reason in the madness, and the results are outstanding."

Yuan Zhicheng expressed his opinion in his characteristic husky voice. It still sounds like an expression of appreciation for the 517th Division, but some of the key words clearly have other meanings.

The lukewarm words diluted the enthusiasm of the participants, and the atmosphere gradually cooled down, and people looked at each other and suppressed the unfinished words.

Zhao Zhikai glanced at the side helplessly, with a faint wry smile on his face.

This is not the first time———— whenever the atmosphere of the meeting is warm, or when a certain issue is discussed, as long as the matter does not involve Yuan Zhicheng's circle of connections, or the object is not a member of Yuan's faction, there will always be people who jump out to express their opposition, or lead the topic in a direction that has nothing to do with it.

Of course, Yuan Zhicheng rarely participated. When he speaks like the one just now, it is usually a relatively important occasion, or a wide range of issues that are of great importance.

"Today's meeting is important and there are a lot of things that need to be addressed. Well, I personally think that this battle of the 517th Division is discussed here. Next, let's talk about the subsequent replenishment of the northern line of defense.

"Biopheromones must not be abused. This war will eventually end, and our children and grandchildren will have to live on this land. If anything is used too much and too indiscriminately, it will lead to a series of unimaginable consequences, and in my opinion———— this method of warfare is not worth promoting. ”

"The 517th Division has nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers, and compared to the early days of the war, we have found a way to strengthen ourselves with silver bones. Many soldiers have become true augmenters, but they still hold on to the old concept and are afraid of mutated creatures. Yes, we need combat heroes who inspire morale on the battlefield, but definitely not planners who use all kinds of traps and prerequisites to steal concepts. Yes, plans and plans are important, but courage is still the most critical factor in determining victory or defeat. Regardless of casualties and victory or defeat for the time being, the 517th Division has not occupied Lujiang County until now, so what qualifications do they have to receive the award? At best, it was a small tactical victory, and it simply did not work as well as it should, for the battle itself, for the strategy we had booked. ”

Yuan Zhicheng's words are very sharp, and he skillfully changes his thinking to maximize the negative effects of the problem. Although many of the participants held opposing views, they were suppressed by the chorus of many members of the Yuan family.

The meeting of the military department was no less intense than the war. In this regard, both Zhao Zhikai and several other big figures in high positions feel a headache. They would love to change the situation of consuming a lot of time and energy just for the sake of infighting, but there is no effective solution. After all, the Yuan family has great power within the military, and unauthorized actions without absolute certainty will only cause chaos and bring greater trouble.

The question of the commendation of the 517th division was finally settled.

Of course, Yuan Zhicheng is not stupid enough to go against most people, and no one can erase the existing record. Too strong opposition, or forceful suppression by force, will only provoke a stronger backlash. Therefore, he played a high-sounding little trick———— specific rewards and promotions, and waited until the Lujiang battle was all over, and then discussed it.

The battle in Lujiang County also had an extremely strong repercussion within the 184th Group Army. Although there are also people who oppose Su Hao's tactics, no one can deny that the 517th Division and the 11th Independent Army did eliminate tens of thousands of mutated creatures.

Liu Jiangyuan immediately asked the group army and the Nanyang base for material supplies. In addition to the normal routine replenishment, he demanded the allocation of a large number of directional mines and engineering machinery. Zhang Shengfei, commander of the group army, met all the requirements in the telegram and promised that by one week at the latest, all the materials listed on the list would be replenished.

A few days later, the convoy of transports loaded with supplies slowly moved into the defense zone of the 11th Separate Army.

Thirty-three heavy trucks, their heavy wheels running over the road, bringing up a thick layer of dust that obscured the sky. In front of and behind these heavy vehicles, there are also more than a dozen light armored vehicles and off-road vehicles of different types. Judging by the special insignia on the sides of the body, they belonged to the 184 Army.

Su Hao walked out of the command post with a few soldiers, and when he came to the front of the convoy, he saw Yuan Hao who had just jumped out of the military off-road vehicle.

"I bet you don't want to see me, or even disgusted. Hey, hey, hey, is that so? ”

Yuan Hao's attitude was still arrogant, and the brigadier general's uniform added enough majesty and momentum to him, and also made him look like he had a strong sense of oppression. When he strode over, Su Hao only felt full of momentum, raising his hands and feet with an incomparably heavy force, as if he was not a human at all, but a machine with a hideous face.

Su Hao frowned: "Why are you here?" What's the matter, tired of staying in New Chengdu? Want some fresh air? ”

"Got it right."

Yuan Hao smiled lowly: "Don't look at me with that kind of hostile eyes. I don't want to fight you in a place like this. This is the third theater of operations in the southeast, the front line, and triggering a conflict here will only make the old guys in the military department grab the pigtails and hold on to them. ”

Su Hao's eyes were full of vigilance: "You are smarter than I thought, not so stupid." ”

"It's not a good thing to talk about cool words."

Yuan Hao took a deep breath and squinted at Su Hao, his eyes and chin tightened: "My time is precious, and you don't have enough time." So, let's cut to the chase."

Su Hao stood backwards, giving up enough distance between the two people, and his expression was lukewarm.

He has always been wary of Yuan Hao.

"Open the skylight and speak brightly, your previous battle plan is very good, and the effect is very remarkable. I have always admired people who have the ability. Whether in New Chengdu or here, I still have the same attitude as before. You're a very smart guy, you're gutsy, and you're capable. If you feel that my actions have been too reckless and have not given you enough respect, then I apologize now and say "I'm sorry" to you in the most sincere manner. ”

Su Hao looked at Yuan Hao who was standing opposite steadily, his eyes flickering slightly.

The test tube containing the worm Hagrid was in the pocket of the underwear, and the fat bug was constantly warning Su Hao.

"Master, this guy is lying to you, his mouth is full of lies, and these words are not the real thoughts in his head at all. He wants to kill you, he wants to kill you, but he must obey the will of the other man and pull you to his side. ”

Haig's sense of detection has evolved to the point where he can peer into the minds of the other person. This kind of detection must be constrained by conditions such as distance and the strength of thinking, but it is a one-sided snooping. Except for Su Hao, it has not yet been found that anyone can generate consciousness regurgitation.

Su Hao let out an "um" and didn't speak.

"I like to work with smart people."

Yuan Hao kept increasing his tone, and his powerful movements and majestic momentum all showed his toughness: "We need people like you. As an elite of society, it is not a good phenomenon to follow a group of indiscriminate fools. What Xu Renjie and Wang Qinian gave you, we can give it twice. I speak so directly, salivating and crying and hugging Lao Tzu's thighs, there are so many wastes, and only high-end people like you are worthy of Lao Tzu. Chasing all the way from Chengdu to here is enough to show my sincerity. Of course, we could have come and talk to you with someone else, after all, the holiday between you and me is likely to prevent you from thinking and making decisions. But I don't think so. You don't give up important things because of small things like that, you're as smart as I am, we have a lot in common and we can be good friends, right? ”
