Volume I, Section 256, Position
"As for the purpose of biological warfare that you just mentioned, in fact, I have said so much, I believe you have already guessed some of it."
Wang Qinian looked at him and said lightly: "From the second meeting, the Atlanteans have asked us to provide warriors. β
Su Hao was suddenly taken aback: "Warrior? β
"Yes."
The old fat man bowed slightly: "They proposed, let's pick some of the strongest humans." But it was not clear to anyone at the time because of what it was. The Atlanteans have infiltrated human society for a long time, and their targets are straightforward, including American professional wrestlers and boxers, Muay Thai fighters, Japanese sumo wrestlers, Indian yogis, and some of our country's most well-known martial arts and sanda fighters. These people provided three batches before and after, totaling more than 5,800 people. They were all sent to the underwater pyramid and never came out again. β
"From that time on, I guess that the purpose of biological warfare should be to select more warriors from among the Atlanteans. Because from the very beginning, they constantly mentioned the word "warrior". I believe that the Atlanteans, like humans, have a beneficial effect on their understanding of things. Since they created the earth and created a near-perfect bio-energy circulation system on the earth, they must have their ulterior motives. The evolution from a single-celled organism to a human being has been an incomparably long one. Even though the Atlanteans possessed advanced technology and had a long lifespan, they shortened the evolution time that would have taken trillions of Earth years to millions of years, which in itself was a manifestation of urgency. Just like the apple farmers, in order to get the real benefits faster, they spray boosters and use chemical fertilizers to shorten the ripening time of apples in various ways. The purpose of the Atlanteans to spread the virus on Earth should be similar. We are their fruits, but we must pass the test of biological warfare before we can finally harvest them. Only those who survive the survival of the fittest, who have endured many deaths, are the targets they need. β
Su Hao heard his breathing heavily, and his mind was full of all kinds of terrifying scenes.
The Atlanteans created the earth and stocked humans. They use it as an arena and turn about half of humanity into monsters by releasing viruses. If the other half of the living want to survive, they must take up arms and fight and kill all those who are infected. When they become proficient in combat skills, understand the weaknesses of zombies, and have an advantage in war, the infected body parasitized by the virus will also mutate again, evolving from the initial "-L" or "L" level to the "-" and "first" level. The survivors will have to pay more casualties and a heavier price to face these more powerful mutated creatures. And when they adapt again, there will be even more terrifying changes, that is, the more powerful "3" level.
It's a terrible cycle, what is the highest level of mutation? I'm afraid no one can tell. But no matter what, with the huge base of billions of human beings, there will always be some people who will live to the last day. They are the strongest among the human race, the elite who have risen from countless corpses. The Atlanteans needed more than they. Only in this way can it be explained that when the Triple Bloc first came into contact with it, the Atlanteans would give in under the pretext of "collective suicide for all mankind", and even modify the time of the virus outbreak again and again to give more high-tech information.
"According to my guess, there is another layer of factors that strictly prohibit the use of weapons of mass destruction."
On the screen, Wang Qinian's voice sounded again: "Technology and physical fitness are relative. The former can bring convenience to human life, and the latter can make human beings stronger. The two can coexist, but there is a huge rift that cannot be bridged. Human beings are probably the laziest creatures in the universe, especially after adapting to the convenience brought by technology, it is difficult to return to the state of movement they once had. Just as people who own cars rarely ride bicycles, people who like to watch TV rarely participate in other recreational activities. The warriors of the Atlanteans were obviously not soldiers equipped with various advanced weapons, but hand-to-hand champions of the cold weapon era. Only in this way can the act of releasing the virus make sense. β
Su Hao felt that his palms were cold, but his mind gradually returned to calm.
"If that's the case, it's time for the Atlanteans to choose our time as a testing ground for the release of the virus. They should have done this hundreds of years ago, because warriors were easier to get in the age of cold weapons. β
"You see only one aspect of things, not all of them."
Wang Qinian scoffed at Su Hao's words: "Our true purpose for the Atlanteans is just speculation. But even if they needed fighters, they wouldn't have chosen hundreds of years ago as a drop-off point. You forget one of the most important factorsββββ the selection of the so-called fighters, which must be built on a large population base. Technological developments have brought about more than just a negative impact on physical fitness. More often than not, it is the health of the entire human population, the abundance of nutrients, the rapid increase in population, the strengthening of awareness and adaptability, and so on. I think that's the significance of their parchment manuscripts being scattered all over the world. It is only when technology has advanced to a certain extent that the spiral script can be deciphered, and we have the ability to enter the bottom of Bermuda. Although they can also come out, they are very different in form and effect. β
Su Hao's eyes gradually became fierce, and the depths of his pupils were full of boiling flames. He stared at Wang Qinian and said slowly: "Could it be that we can't do anything, we have to bow down to them like this and let them be slaughtered."
Without waiting for the fat dean to answer, Su Hao roared again: "I can guess their purposeββββ giving us enhancement potions, just to get more evolved people." I've seen those guys, when they were in New Nanyang, there was a soldier who suddenly mutated. They took him, and the bastard called himself "Haba Nora". It is arrogant, empty-eyed, as if we are all ants under its feet. β
Wang Qinian obviously knew about these things for a long time, so he was not surprised by Su Hao's words. He nodded: "That's right, the Atlanteans need to evolve people, this is one of the terms of the agreement that was signed long before the war. As compensation for the warriors we provide, especially naturally occurring evolutionary people, the Atlanteans also give us a portion of the "bonus". β
Wang Qinian didn't say what the "reward" was, and Su Hao didn't ask. He knew the virtues of the old fat man, and if he wanted to, he would say it without asking. If you don't want to tell you, I don't know what it is.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, it's best to mess with those guys less. They're not like us, they're all crazy."
The fat dean looked at Su Hao, there was obviously some indescribable complexity in his eyes, but his voice was full of advice and worry: "They are few in number, but they are everywhere. From the beginning of the virus outbreak, the Atlanteans have set up a liaison in the military headquarters. They have a whole set of special methods for monitoring evolved people. Since last year, there have been a total of five cases of evolved humans in the world. Two of them are in our range, one in the United States, one in Japan, and one in Brazil. You should have seen the power of evolutionary human beings in Xinnanyang, which is the state in which human potential is stimulated to the limit. According to the plan of the military department, it was originally intended to use these evolved people to eliminate some mutated creatures, recapture several abandoned cities, and make the war zone more stable. But the Atlanteans didn't give us such a chance. Even I, under the pretext of research, left one of the evolutionaries in the Academy for a period of time, tested it thoroughly, collected data, and then forcibly took it away
Su Hao's mind suddenly flashed the image of Yue Zhennan. He subconsciously asked, "Where did they take all the people?" β
"I don't know what to say."
Wang Qinian spread his hands: "They have their own remote teleportation device, that kind of technology is far beyond our understanding, it seems to be in the way of decomposing the form of objects, reorganizing with molecular transmission, and achieving the purpose of long-distance teleportation." However, the surveillance team located within the safe shipping lanes of Bermuda reported that the submarine pyramid produced a faint release of energy that day. Based on our guess, that's where the teleportation is supposed to be. β
Su Hao frowned: "Regarding that pyramid, can we still go in?" β
Wang Qinian's eyelids jumped, and although he was a little puzzled, he replied lightly: "Of course you can." According to the pre-war agreement, we were allowed to go in once a year. Entrants are defined as 50 people, and the specific number of persons is determined by us at our sole discretion. Initially, this was a secret of the Triple Bloc. When France and Germany joined the G5, it became the prerogative of the G5. It is now up to the UN General Assembly to decide who enters the pyramid each year. After all, we have to pay attention to the opinions of other countries, biological warfare is a matter for all mankind, and entering the Bermuda pyramid is just a duty, but there is no practical benefit. β
As he spoke, Wang Qinian stared at Su Hao again and said earnestly: "The so-called secrets are almost these. Biological warfare is a disaster, but it is not entirely without benefits for humanity. At the very least, our technology has progressed, and our vision and perspective of seeing the world and the universe have expanded. The old fortress of power is broken, and the concept of the state will most likely disappear with the course of the war. Humanity may continue to be divided, or it may be united by a powerful person. Food is always good and bad, and we can't see the future, so we can only slowly explore it according to the current thinking. β
"But no matter what, we won't be enslaved forever. The Atlanteans were not gods, and we don't need to grovel to them. They create wars, but they don't intervene in them. We can take advantage of this opportunity to become stronger, even beyond those damn higher beings. It's my ideal, and it's what a lot of people want to achieve. Strengthening people is just the beginning, and I don't know if the evolution of people is the end? Because of the premise that the Atlanteans need warriors, the military department will be open to all kinds of past behavior. It may be hard for you to understand, but you have to know that anything will be tolerated if you fight against mutated creatures and win creature wars. Because we ourselves need fighters, and we also want to get to the bottom of the matter. Those warriors who were taken away by the Atlanteans were our compatriots. Where did we learn about them? If things change, they and we can come to each other's aids. β
"I know that you don't like many things in the military department, and you are quite resistant to the system that many people are superficial. But you have to understand that this is the basis for maintaining everything and continuing the biological war. Not every general is qualified to know these things, limited by ability and status, they are not aware of the existence of the Atlanteans, nor do they know that the humans are actually experimental objects of another higher creature. I can't let their beliefs and ideals crumble, we have to find a way to win the war. In the face of this ultimate goal, all disputes become irrelevant, and all disputes can be sat down and discussed. β
"Finally, I have to remind you that you must be careful of the Yuan family. The power they have at their disposal is far more powerful than you think. Yuan Zhicheng is not so stupid on the surface, he is very shrewd, and the hidden power of the Yuan family is rarely known by outsiders. It is precisely because of this that the military department can only let it go and restrain it in the form of power. But this balance of force and quantity will not last long, and it will always be broken. If the Yuan family wants to break out of the army, we can only acquiesce to reality. β
The new Guiyang base city at night looks chaotic and busy. Scattered lights were everywhere, and the roar of noisy human voices and machinery could be heard in the distance. It is the beginning of a new life, but it is not the beginning of destruction and despair. The road ahead is at your feet, but no one knows where the road will go?
Huang He stood beside Su Hao and looked at him worriedly.
It has been almost three hours since the end of the conversation with Wang Qinian. During this time, Su Hao had been standing at the window, silently watching outside, motionless, and had not said a word.
Some of the thinking consciousness between the "queen bee" and the "worker bee" is common. With Su Hao's acquiescence, Huang He saw a video of the conversation with Wang Qinian. In addition to the shock, he felt more worried about himself, and even the future of the entire "bee colony", as never before.
"We've got to do something. We cannot sit idly by. This is our planet, our world, not a testing ground for those mysterious monsters. I don't believe in history, I never passed an exam since I was in elementary school. What emperors, kings, wars, civilizations are all pieces of, historical greats, inventors, scientists, have all turned into bones. I only believe in the present and only see the present. We're going to stay here, and no one wants to drive us away. It's ours, and always will be. β
Huang He's voice was loud, full of a man's majesty, roughness, and unbridled arrogance. His spittle flew in the air, and his words smelled of bad breath of a smoker. Despite his hoarse voice, Su Hao felt very comforted and had a sense of trustworthy sustenance.
"We've got to speed up the pace."
Looking at the darkness pierced by countless lights outside the window, Su Hao's tone was sonorous and powerful: "The original plan does not need to be modified, and all kinds of raw materials and equipment give priority to the construction of the "No. 1 Hive". Externally, we are still the 11th Independent Army. Internally, we are an inseparable whole. Our enemies are mutated creatures, and we need silver bones and hedrons. As long as we have these, we have enough say and no one will dare to attack our ideas anymore. β
The worry on Huang He's face was still strong: "But, what about those Atlanteans? We don't know anything about them and are not opponents at all. β
"Don't think about them yet. As long as there are no evolved humans in the "swarm", we will not be targeted by them. β
Su Hao remembered what Wang Qinian had said, and his face gradually became solemn: "Take a step back, even if they really discovered the 'swarm' and discovered our anomaly, it wouldn't be a big deal. I have a way to deal with these guys. β
The smoke of the new Nanyang base city has finally dissipated, and the once prosperous city is occupied by mutated creatures, and all the city gates are open, and you can occasionally see monsters roaming the neighborhood. Only when planes pass through the sky can you take pictures of the inside of the city. Mutated creatures come in hordes, and there are surprisingly large numbers.
Troops mobilized from other theaters have been set out to form two new lines of defence from the north and west. On the one hand, it constituted a defense against Xinnanyang, and on the other hand, it also blocked the communication channel between Xinguiyang and the northern front.
The pace of the troops' advance was extremely slow, and some engineers had to be left behind to build fortifications in the important areas they passed along the way. This cautious approach stems from the lessons of the Battle of HefeiδΈ¨The military headquarters has changed the original distribution of defenses, based on the in-depth defense with a large number of obstacles, and constantly consumes the number of mutated creatures. Of course, the main purpose is still to intercept the 11th Independent Army and block the possibility of importing foreign resources from this direction.
Because of Wang Qinian's intervention, the discussion and decision of the military committee could not be implemented in the end. The troops of the Northern and Western Fronts did not launch an offensive against Xinguiyang, they stayed at the borders of their respective defense areas. Although most of the members of the military department did not have a good impression of the fat man, his words were very reasonable: "Our enemies are mutated creatures, not our own compatriots. β
Under Zhao Zhikai's pre-and persuasion, the Military Department Committee revoked the decision to punish the 11th Independent Army, and Su Hao lost no time in sending him back to the Executive Officer Corps. He once again stated his position: he was willing to obey every correct order of the military headquarters, the way of dealing with problems was no longer simple and rude, and he led the 11th Independent Army to really take charge of the daily defense work and launch a new round of attacks on neighboring cities, especially the abandoned Guiyang
This statement is very modest, and it is like two people who were flying and domineering before. It must be admitted that this practice did make the members of the military department feel comfortable, and although they were not very satisfied, it was the best result at present.
