Volume 1 Section 320 Advice
"I certainly don't have much interest in the indigenous people of East Timor. However, the contents of the animal skin are interesting. β
It describes the whole process of a grand wedding celebration of an indigenous tribe. It's nothing more than how beautiful the bride is, how extravagant the dress is, and how wise the chief is. The only thing worth noting is the bridegroom mentioned in the hides. β
"The groom is not a local, but a shipwreck survivor rescued from the beach by an indigenous tribal elder. According to the animal skin documents, the man was handsome and dashing, and had an extraordinary temperament. He claimed to be from another continent across the ocean. The man's hometown, which was originally very rich, was destroyed overnight by thunder and fire falling from the sky. In desperation, the man and his family had no choice but to flee to the boat and descend down the river. Disoriented and the fishing boat lost control, the boat drifted into the sea and then encountered a hurricane before drifting to Timor-Leste. β
"The man was clearly more civilized than the native East Timorese. He possessed great hunting skills and was soon taken seriously by the local chiefs. The chief's daughter also took a liking to him. So the two got married, and then there was the animal skin that recorded the wedding process. β
"Records of thunder and fire from heaven interest us. According to the description of the man recorded on the hide, the constellations and natural landscapes he saw in his hometown, as well as the content of climate, temperature, vegetation, etc., we targeted the search near Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Eventually, an unexcavated royal tomb was found. β
"The entire excavation project was planned by the military, and a lot of money was invested. At the cost of aiding the most advanced fighters and some decommissioned ships at that time, we got the Cambodian side to agree to the excavation request. In the dungeon, we found a lot of shipbuilding fragments that had lost their research value, and we also found six potions in the king's coffin. At the same time, a gold scroll was found that was buried at the same time as the king, and a white fragment of the road was unknown. According to the volume, the spacecraft is small in size, and it is the source of the thunder and fire that fell from the sky. There was no crew on board. In the wreckage, only a few of the potions and the fragment were found that were still intact. The king regarded them as a gift from heaven, but he did not know what they were for. He did not want to give up these things until he died, so he ordered them to be buried together. β
"It was said that there were six potions, but in fact there were only two. The other four, just empty tubes with broken walls and no contents. Two intact agents with small protective magnetic field devices. This is also the real reason why the king failed to use the potion. That kind of magnetic field can withstand violent impacts, and only by gradually demagnetizing the repulsion energy can external obstacles be removed. When I got the potion, one of them had obviously been used, and only about 20% of the actual capacity remained. With the approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and after a rigorous review by the security services, we have chosen to prioritize research on mutilated agents and share some of the results with other countries. β
As he spoke, Wang Qinian showed an emotional look on his face: "We have always regarded that complete medicine as a treasure, and we think that it may be possible to develop an immune agent that comprehensively fights the virus on this basis." Excavations in Cambodia, which took place before contact with the Atlanteans. After learning the truth about the virus outbreak from the mouths of those guys, they lost interest in discovering the potion to continue research. Our attention began to turn to the aid technology we received from the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle, and the military did not continue to fund the Cambodian Underground Palace project. The research institute set up in Kunming no longer mattered, and the complete potion, the white triangular fragments, were sealed. It's not that they weren't important, but that the situation at the time did not allow for the distraction of research on additional matters. The military department and the academy of sciences must pay attention to the construction of each base city, and the assistance to science and technology also includes the content related to the mass production of immunization agents. This is much faster than back-extrapolating a formulation from an excavation, saving time and resources. β
"If you leave the future realm, you can get more energy, go back to the years before the time boundary is farther away, and you will definitely find that in the period before the outbreak of the virus, we are really exhausted, and we have no extra energy to take care of other affairs. At that time, all the focus was on how to improve the immune agents. You have to understand that the percentage of people who are susceptible to the virus is 50 percent. The other half of the remainder is numbered in the billions. Even if we concentrate the power of all the Earth countries, it will be difficult to produce enough potions. The only thing we can do is race against time to save as many lives as possible. β
Wang Qinian once again showed a wry smile on his face: "At that time, the opinions of the upper echelons of the military department were completely different from those now. We want to save lives, not disregard human lives as we do now. This may be the influence of time and environment on thinking. They weren't born demons, but reality forced them to change their appearance. As for what happened next, I don't know very well. The Kunming Research Institute does not belong to the Academy of Sciences, and I am not good at interfering in the specific affairs there. Even if Yuan Bin's plan is really successful and he takes the prototype medicine as his own, I can't do it. After all, the military department is the military department, and the Academy of Sciences is the Academy of Sciences. Moreover, he is a member of the Yuan family. β
After a pause, Wang Qinian focused his gaze on Su Hao, and asked eagerly, "You got the prototype potion." Tell me, what the hell is that? β
Su Hao also showed a wry smile on his face.
The old fat man's answer was completely unexpected.
In the future realm, he just relied on instinct to find clues about the prototype potion from the complicated information. The reason why Su Hao feels important is entirely because of the large number of question marks noted next to the information. Of course, there is also part of the reason that the loss time of the potion is very close to its own space-time landing location, and it can be used
Everything was so accidental.
Everything is so inevitable.
"It is a very important unnatural product that can change the course of human history and also upend the entire human civilization."
Faced with Wang Qinian's question, Su Hao replied like this: "The history of this time and space has changed, and the future trajectory will definitely not be consistent with the original. I've changed it and I'm changing it. Believe me, my purpose is the same as yours, I want more people to survive and win the biological war once and for all. β
Speaking of this, Su Hao shifted his gaze to the night shadow standing next to him, looked at Wang Qinian again, and smiled faintly.
"In the world of the future, you have never been married. It was a very serious mistake and a regret that I can't let go. You have to save it and make up for your mistakes. No matter who speaks first, face doesn't matter, we only care about the ending. Don't keep it all to yourself, it's much better to say it than to be suffocated forever. Hehe, I would love to attend your wedding. So, it's best to get things done as soon as possible. β
Wang Qinian's eyes widened.
Two flushes flew up Nightshadow's face.
"Boy, do you know what you're talking about?"
The old fat man secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he was quite angry. He clenched his fists and roared at Su Hao viciously: "Shut your beak for Lao Tzu, it's not your turn to intervene in this kind of thing." You haven't even grown all the cock hair, what qualifications do you have to say irresponsible things to Lao Tzu? β
Su Hao smiled calmly: "Just because you haven't been able to speak, you have wasted a lot of opportunities." The face is all fake, and it is true to marry the woman you really love by any means. β
The old fat man's face turned red and white, his eyes flashed with complicated light, and his mouth still refused to let go: "How can this be, real love needs time to verify, I haven't considered it yet......"
"Enough is enoughββββ"
Without waiting for the fat dean to finish speaking, Night Shadow scolded, directly grabbed the back collar of Wang Qinian's clothes, and pulled the whole person from his seat. She looked at the old fat man with cold eyes, clasped the back of the fat man's neck with her left hand, took out the pistol from the back of her waist with her right hand, aimed the muzzle at Wang Qinian's head, exhaled a long breath, and asked in a decisive and fierce tone: "Do you want to marry me?" β
This was so direct that even a thick-skinned character like the old fat man couldn't help but fall into silence and show shame.
Nightshade's eyes flashed with irritation. She used her thumb to pull away the bolt and snorted coldly: "If you don't speak again, I'll shoot now." Anyway, the old lady is tired of it, and it's either a mutated creature or all kinds of messy things all day long. I knew that things would turn out like this, and I shouldn't have been injected with any immunization drugs in the first place. β
The old fat man's eyelids jumped. He knew very well that Nightshade could do what he said, and it was definitely not a threat.
"Of course I want to." β
"Then settle things down first. Looking back, I'll find a good day for a wedding. β
Nightshade put the gun away, but his left hand didn't let go of the back of Wang Qinian's neck. A smile appeared on her cold face, and she said something that made Wang Qinian's blood boil suddenly.
"Now, kiss me."
The situation in the new Guiyang area is more dynamic than ever.
Su Hao unified the entire region with a strong force, firmly grasped the control of the ten newly formed divisions, and the huge base city was also fully operational.
Every day, large quantities of individual weapons and ammunition are transported from the workshops and distributed to the soldiers who continue them as quickly as possible. All the refugees gathered outside the city were brought into management, and after the two teams of Cao Rui and Du Tianhao were divided, the most suitable candidates were selected to be filled into the army. With the huge number of "worker bees" that have numbered more than 300,000 as a basis, there is no longer any difficulty in continuing to convert the remaining people.
Boot camps are full of recruits in practice. They are not yet armed, but they are already wearing regular military uniforms. After only two weeks of intensive training, you can gain experience in life-and-death battles as combat units march into abandoned cities.
Ten divisions, just numbers on paper.
In just two months, the 505 Army has doubled in size.
Cao Rui and Du Tianhao sent hundreds of small teams to the surrounding areas. According to Su Hao's order, they must gather all the refugees scattered nearby at all costs. As the consolidation area expands, these small teams will cover a wider area and reach a larger number of refugees.
It's a very ambitious plan. Su Hao wants to collect more refugees who can be converted into "worker bees" in the shortest possible time. With the identity of the commander of the group army, he is no longer secretive, the key to how many full-fifth order strengthened combat troops he has is only to hunt and kill the number of mutant creatures? How many Silver Bones do you get? These questions may seem complicated, but they are actually quite simple to do.
AWACS aircraft hovers over abandoned cities every day, and can take images of a large number of troops entering the city every day, and can also monitor the violent energy response values in the city. The military department has always been skeptical of this. They repeatedly sent letters to the 505 Group Army to inquire, and Su Hao's reply was always vague.
The generals of the Beijing No. 1 base will never know that the mutated creatures in the abandoned city of Guiyang have basically been wiped out. Su Hao had already driven more than half of his troops to Kunming. In his plan, all abandoned cities within the province should be emptied within three to four months. The number of Silver Bone Crystals harvested is directly proportional to the number of troops that have actually grown into Rank 5 Strengthened Soldiers. The more you kill, the faster you will become stronger.
The current mutant creatures are far from being the opponents of the fifth-order enhancers. This situation will continue for years to come. All of Su Hao's forbearance is for the present. He wants to create an independent space without mutated creatures, belonging to the world of him and the "swarm".
With a large and solid foundation, it is possible to really talk about facing the Atlanteans.
The weather is no longer cold, and the new year is getting warmer and hotter again.
The plants, soil, air, and topography remain the same, and nature is still the same as it used to be. Especially in the wild, many plants have reached the flowering season. Without human destruction and unbridled frenzy, vegetation is recovering faster than ever before. Plains, valleys, fields, everywhere are dense greens, yellow and white wildflowers are everywhere. Bees and butterflies flutter in it, and grasshoppers and dragonflies occasionally peek out in the grass. In the low-lying pond with stagnant water, there are many tadpoles that have just hatched. In the nearby wetland or near shallow water, there are always one or two dumbfounded toads basking in the sun. They may be the guardians of these tadpoles, or they may have raped a female frog and regretted their actions on the brain, so they crouched next to watch over the child. Of course, when they are hungry, they may even swallow a few tadpoles as a snack. Anyway, there are too many sons and daughters, and it will be a big trouble to support them in the future. It is better to eat some in advance, which not only meets the needs of the stomach and intestines, but also saves yourself a lot of pension money.
More and more refugees began to establish settlements in the wild.
Access to Base City remains expensive. Without the hedron and silver bones, the army would not let the refugees enter in vain. The sluggish situation on the front line, despair and anxiety about the future caused the refugees to gradually lose confidence in the soldiers. As time goes on, the fear of the virus outbreak is slowly fading. Mercenary groups and hunters often come out of abandoned cities with the corpses of mutated creatures that have been killed, and transport them back to the base city to trade. People can see the monsters up close, and they can also touch the real objects that represent death and killing
Humanity's fear of mutated creatures is being worn away little by little.
They are getting acquainted with them.
The strongest mercenaries and experienced hunters have become the most popular guests in the various settlements of the wilderness. They had guns, bullets, and goods like salt, canned food, cakes, vitamin pills, antibiotics, and so on. All of these are treasures that the inhabitants of the wilderness cannot obtain. They are willing to give a lot of supplies in exchange. After all, it is possible to grow food in the field, but it is impossible to sow pills, and it is impossible to get penicillin from the field like harvesting Chinese cabbage when it is suffering from disease.
Gradually, hunters and mercenaries began to enjoy wild settlements instead of hanging out in the base city. At most, they only sold their prey in the city, exchanged all kinds of high-end goods such as spars and silver bones for weapons, and went to the wild settlements to consume or live. The standard of living there is much lower than in Base City. A dozen rounds of ammunition, or an old gun, can be exchanged for a good-looking virgin. For the same price, you can only get a maximum of one bottle of spirits in the civilian area of the base city. Moreover, it is still an inferior product blended with alcohol.
Refugees and civilians are the same kind of people.
The only difference is the area in which they are located.
Those who are eligible to live in the base city are called civilians.
Those who are displaced outside the city are called refugees.
Civilians have developed a subtle sense of superiority over refugees. Just as people with wage income in peacetime look at low-income households, or fixed-term workers look at temporary workers, they always have instinctive arrogance and contempt, thinking that they are better than others.
Refugees no longer trust the military.
A lot of different arguments are quietly spreading among the refugee population.
"The military doesn't care if we live or die. Think about what happened to them when the virus broke out. Where are they? No one helped us, no one told us exactly what to do. We're basically fighting zombies with our hands. And what about them? The base city was built early. Now, even when entering the city, you have to collect silver bone spars. β
"In peacetime, we are all taxpayers. We feed millions of troops and get nothing in return. Now, paying the Silver Bone Hedron to enter the base city is just a trick by those guys who want to absorb nutrients from us. Even if you can get in, what do you get? Food rationing? Or the distribution of weapons? Anyway, mutant creatures don't leave abandoned cities, and it's just as safe to live in the wild. β
The refugees who had gathered outside the various base cities were dispersing. In stark contrast, there are new settlements, large and small, scattered around the valley and near the habitable areas near water sources. People cut the weeds from the wilderness and ploughed the cleared fields. In this season, when summer is approaching, patches of green can already be seen in many places.
