"We're in big trouble."

Su Hao stopped, thought for a few seconds, and said bitterly: "What Haig said is very terrifying. It is an unavoidable catastrophe not only for us, but for all of us. ”

Mutated creatures aren't forever confined to abandoned cities. In the future world, both the military and the Academy of Sciences were curious about this strange phenomenon and carried out targeted research, but nothing came of it. However, from the second year of the Black Age, that is, the same time period as Su Hao's current time and space, in September of that year, in the abandoned city of Atlanta in the United States, the first "moon tide" in the history of biological warfare broke out.

Haig wasn't lying.

Perhaps due to the tidal gravitational pull of the Moon, or the effect of the magnetic field caused by the Earth's rotation, the mutated creatures gathered in the abandoned city show varying degrees of restlessness every time the moon is full. They can be particularly irritable, attacking each other, sexually assaulting, and even biting and devouring each other. Mutated creatures no longer adhere to their respective territories, and are several times more aggressive than normal. Because of the differences between populations and the difference in ability, a large number of mutated creatures will leave the abandoned city at the time of the full moon, and any target encountered in the surrounding area of the crazy city.

In the dictionary of the future world, this phenomenon is called "moon tide".

Su Hao once dissected some of the mutated creatures that were killed by the military during the "Moon Tide" period, and found that most of the muscles in their bodies were indurated, and there was abnormal rigidity. This suggests a sudden increase in hormone secretion in the mutant organism, resulting in muscle fibers not being able to contract back to normal during the NDE.

The scale of the "moon tide" varies, and can only be judged on the scale of the abandoned city itself. Initially, the military believed that this was an isolated phenomenon caused by the struggle of the population within the mutant organisms. It was not until the third year of the Black Age that it was finally confirmed that the phenomenon was affected by the tides through time comparison from the frequent biological frenzy in various places

Every "moon tide" means the mass death of mankind. Neither the military nor civilians have the ability to resist in the face of the tide of biological frenzy. Some base cities, which are located close to abandoned cities, will inevitably be impacted. However, due to the fact that the "moon tide" is scattered in multiple directions, although a large number of mutant organisms gather, there is rarely a single impact on a certain direction during the Hefei Campaign, so the impact on the base city is mostly limited to a controllable range. With tall and thick walls and a large number of weapons, the mutated creatures that rushed out of the abandoned city due to the "moon tide" were kept out of the base city. After the twelve-hour tidal period, they returned to the abandoned city.

The effects of tides on mutant organisms vary. Not every abandoned city will have a "moon tide" during the full moon time. On a global scale, there may be only one or two cities, or dozens or hundreds of cities at the same time. There is no pattern to follow. Although the military of the future world realm has invested a lot of resources in research, it still has not found any clues. The only thing that can be done is to issue a red alert as the "moon tide" approaches, asking each base city to raise its alert and defense levels, and try to accommodate the refugees scattered outside the city.

Su Hao really forgot about the "moon tide".

It's not that he was negligent, but in the decades to come, most of the "moon tides" occurred in Europe, Australia, and North America, while Asia, South America, and Africa were very little affected by the "moon tides". In East Asia in particular, there have only been 31 occurrences. Compared to Europe, Australia, and the Americas, which have a frequency of hundreds of outbreaks per year (in terms of the total number of outbreak cities), it can be almost none.

Haig's report made Su Hao suddenly wake up.

It is true that because of its own appearance, there have been subtle changes in the course of biological warfare in this world. However, in terms of the overall trend, there is not much difference from the future world.

What should come will come eventually.

The order given by Su Hao was quickly transmitted to the area where the various "bee colonies" were located. In accordance with Su Hao's request, the "worker bees" have built underground shelters, strengthened the outer walls of the towns where they are located, and increased their armament.

The most affected by this is still the new Guiyang base.

Although she did not understand Su Hao's reduction of the 5% injection requirement for the "reserve worker bees", Cao Rui still obeyed the order and took the last step to convert the more than 39,000 "reserve worker bees" who should have been given blood injections after a two-week inspection period. In fact, there is a considerable degree of danger with this, but the probability of danger always hovers between 0.1 and 5 percent. In the case that Su Hao urgently needs a large number of "worker bees" to increase his strength, the unfavorable factors can only be ignored. Among them, there is a possibility of a loser who is not successful in the conversion. In this case, it can only be killed.

A large number of silver bones were distributed, and as many as tens of thousands of third- and fourth-order reinforcements appeared in the "refugee" group outside the base city. Unlike soldiers and officers who were injected with boosters directly, black particles controlled the breath of these "worker bees". Except for the internal members of the group, outsiders cannot detect their presence, let alone judge the level of enhancement.

Du Tianhao took away more than 20,000 refugees overnight. According to Su Hao's order, these people will enter the mountainous area and continue the unfinished consciousness influence and identity transformation without being affected by the "moon tide". In addition to the more than 300,000 people who have been selected as recruits by various new divisions and regiments, there are about 190,000 remaining refugees around New Guiyang. Among them, there are nearly 40,000 "worker bees" that can be directly controlled, and there are 60,000 "reserve worker bees" with a sense of identity of more than 50 percent. The rest, all of them are refugees from neighbouring regions.

8l Command, Office of the Chief of Staff.

Hou Jingzhan silently looked at a report in front of him.

As a brigadier general who was originally in charge of the material dispatch work of the Beijing No. 1 base in just a few months, he jumped two levels in a row to become the chief of staff of 8L Pei, Hou Jingzhan of course knows very well that Sun Zhan is his biggest benefactor, and he must be absolutely loyal in order to keep everything he has at present and get more opportunities to climb up the ranks

Coupled with personal enmity, Hou Jingzhan has more reason to spy on and hate Su Hao.

In recent weeks, there have been a sudden decrease in the number of refugees outside the new Guiyang base city.

At first, Hou Jingzhan thought that it was the result of a large number of recruits selected by various new divisions. However, when he called up the aerial footage taken by the Air Force twice a week of the new Guiyang base from last month to the present, and compared it with the number of recruits currently possessed by each new division and regiment, he immediately discovered the problem.

The aerial footage is not clear, but the approximate number of civilians outside the city can be judged by calculating the area of the area where the civilians are located. Of course, this algorithm cannot be absolutely accurate, but anyone who is not blind can see that in recent times, the civilian gathering area has changed———— the originally crowded plot has turned gray and yellow, and there is nothing but a large amount of garbage and waste scattered on the ground.

Broadly estimated, the number of missing civilians is at least 100,000, and possibly even 150,000.

This is not normal.

Hou Jingzhan does not care about the lives and deaths of civilians. The fate of those people was already sealed long before the outbreak of the virus. Either fend for yourself or be self-reliant. At most, the military department will issue them with decommissioned individual weapons, and will not give them any practical help.

However, the sudden disappearance of a large number of people is a very strange thing after all.

Hou Jingzhan continued to review the aerial photographs of the most recent period. He found that the Air Force had found several batches of refugees 35 kilometers and 100 kilometers northwest of the New Guiyang Base. Judging from the route and direction of the refugees, it can be determined that their original starting point was the new Guiyang base.

It is clear that these people are on the move.

What could be like this?

Where exactly do they want to go?

This is not a time of peace, and mass migration is not as simple as lip service. There are no means of transportation such as cars, trains, and airplanes, and adults can only travel tens of kilometers a day just by walking. In addition, the refugee population cannot be all adult men and women, as well as the elderly and children, and food, water and overnight accommodation are also problematic.

Hou Jingzhan didn't know why this change would occur. He naturally associated the abnormal situation with Su Hao.

Although there is no evidence, Hou Jingzhan just listed Su Hao as the object of suspicion.

It's an instinct, an intuition.

What good will it do to Su Hao to get rid of all the civilians outside the base city?

The answer, of course, is that there is no ———— to feed those refugees, who need to spend a lot of food every day, they do not pay taxes, and they will not be grateful to Su Hao for getting free food. If one less food is distributed on a given day, the refugees will immediately start rioting, cursing the people who had given the food in the dirtiest terms.

If it weren't for the fact that the newly formed division needed a large number of soldiers, Hou Jingzhan would have wanted to create several massacres outside the city and drive these white-eyed wolves far away.

So what about the downside?

On the whole, it seems that only the new divisions and regiments will be affected———— soldiers are the basis of the troops. Without refugees, there is naturally no source of recruits.

But the problem is that the recruits of the new divisions and regiments are sufficient. They are in the training phase. No matter how many civilians gathered outside the city, it could not have a real impact on the new division.

As for the labor required for the construction of the base city, it is actually enough for the refugees currently stranded outside the city. After all, the construction of the underground part was taken over only by engineering troops, and civilians could only participate in the work on surface construction. At present, the most important city wall of New Guiyang has been completed, and although the pace of construction in the city is slower, it is not so important.

Hou Jingzhan couldn't find the answer to the question in his head, and began to become more and more irritable.

Su Hao, this bastard, he must die.

When he heard that Su Hao's wife was listed as an "important suspect" by the military department, Hou Jingzhan couldn't help but open a bottle of "Red Star Erguotou" at dinner that day as a celebration.

But weeks passed, and there was no news of the woman's capture. It's just that the air search unit of the 19U Army found her, but the helicopter was destroyed by the other side on the spot, and then escaped.

If that woman is caught, Minister Sun can make a fuss about the confession through normal channels, and then involve Su Hao and checkmate directly.

Hou Jingzhan has always felt that he is very calm, and he belongs to the wise type that does not panic in case of trouble. However, in the face of Su Hao, he found that his mind was full of fire, which could not be extinguished at all.

Thinking of this, Hou Jingzhan seemed to see his nephew covered in blood again......

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and pressed the computer boot button on the desk hard. As the screen slowly rose, Hou Jingzhan quickly typed out lines of text on the keyboard.

It was a report that was uploaded directly to the personal information database of Sun Zhan, the minister of administration, through a secret channel.

As for the content, it can be summed up in just a few words: "8l Pei has completed all the preparations and is waiting for further instructions." ”

Kyo No. 1 Base, Office of the Minister of Administration.

Sun Zhan sat in a chair and carefully read the report signed by Hou Jingzhen.

This report is very detailed. The content covers the current construction progress of the new Guiyang base, the existing establishment, personnel composition, materials, weapons and equipment of each new division and regiment, and so on. Hou Jingzhen, who is an administrator, has a good idea of compiling this kind of tabular report. The data comparison is rigorous, and the material allocation and consumption are very accurate. Among them, there are many suggestions for improving the control of the troops and speeding up the training of recruits. Due to the complexity of the situation involved and the wide variety of things, the printed paper consumed more than 30 pages.

When dealing with affairs, many people like to cut through the mess quickly, and they are clean and straightforward. However, Sun Zhan did not think so. He has always felt that when looking at a problem, it is necessary to dig deep into the root cause and find out the root cause of the problem, and then he can prescribe the right medicine.

This slow and meticulous method has always been used by Sun Zhan. Perhaps because he was also an administrator, he was not impatient at all with Hou Jingzhen's report, but had a kind of admiration and appreciation, and felt that it was a good move to put Hou Jingzhan as the chief of staff of the new 8l Pei.

More than two hours later, Sun Zhan finally finished reading the report. He folded his hands, rested his elbows on the table, and slowly fell into deep thought.

Of the ten newly formed divisions under the jurisdiction of the 505th Group Army, Sun Zhan's direct personnel controlled seven. The rest was divided between the other two members of the military department. They also do not have the power to run the fighting forces, but they control the communications and transport departments, respectively. Of course, with the idea that no one can absolutely believe it, the cooperative relationship between Sun Zhan and others only seems close on the surface. But no matter what, as long as the Zhao family and the Yuan family exist, the alliance between Sun Zhan and the others will continue.

The layout of the new Guiyang base city has been basically completed. According to Hou Jingzhen's report, it is almost time to launch.

Su Hao killed several of Sun Zhan's cronies one after another, and the hatred between them could not be resolved. Every day he waited, Sun Zhan felt that it was an unbearable torture.

However, before the plan was fully launched, Sun Zhan still had two questions that had not been answered.

First: Why would Yuan Zhicheng suddenly propose to set up the 505 Group Army at the new Guiyang base?

Second: Is Su Hao's power really as weak as Hou Jingzhen said? Is that ferocious, brutal and indiscriminate guy really betraying his relatives and relatives, and has become a toothless tiger, imprisoned in a cage and roaring wildly?

There are many questions that have no answers. Because that doesn't matter at all.

Sun Zhan casually clicked on the computer screen on his desk, entered the command, and an image quickly appeared on the screen.

That was one of the pieces of intelligence that came back from the 19U Army's Army Aviation Search Unit. They found traces of Li Xinyan and others in Guangxi, and before the helicopter exploded, the footage taken by the on-board system had been transmitted back to the headquarters of the 19U Group Army. Now, the image on the screen in front of Sun Zhan is the scene of Xinyan raising his gun and shooting at the helicopter

With a fierce and furious expression on her face, she gritted her teeth as her 9mm assault rifle erupted in flames.

Sun Zhan slowly frowned. He didn't like this kind of woman who behaved fiercely. Even though it was on the battlefield, fighting for life and death.

However, Sun Zhan also had to admit that Xinyan was indeed very beautiful. To find such a beautiful wife, Su Hao is indeed very blessed. Especially in terms of grasping women's minds, there is really a set.

In the face of absolute power, femininity doesn't mean anything.

Although his heart was full of contempt and hatred for Su Hao, Sun Zhan never took his eyes off the screen

The wisdom of the old man comes largely from experience———— Sun Zhan's research on the word "beauty" has gone far beyond ordinary visual sensory effects. Hearing that Chen Shang was killed, Sun Zhan immediately accessed all the information about Li Xinyan. Through photographs and videos, he digitized the woman's facial features and simulated images of her body, contrasting them with those beauties who have a large following in peacetime. In the end, the computer concluded that Li Xinyan's comprehensive beauty index was at least 20 percent stronger than theirs, or even more.

Sun Zhan didn't know where Su Hao got such an excellent beauty and made her his wife?

But one thing is clear: in terms of appearance and appearance, women who are more beautiful than Li Xinyan are indeed rare, and there is not even a second one at all.

When something precious comes into view, you desperately want to get it.

When you get it, you'll do whatever it takes to protect it.

It's the same with women.

Since it is impossible to find a better second one than the current one, men usually look very closely at what they already have.

Sun Zhan had no interest in the issues between Xinyan and Chen Shang. He only saw that the military department issued an arrest warrant for Li Xinyan, but Su Hao, the husband, did nothing but stay in the headquarters of the 505 Group Army, like an ant on a hot pot.

This just proves that everything mentioned in Hou Jingzhen's report is true.

can't even protect his own woman, Su Hao really doesn't have any strength. Otherwise, he could at least send troops to help Li Xinyan escape.

The corners of Sun Zhan's tightly closed mouth slowly curved, revealing a hint of an excited smile.

It's time to close the net.
