He's arrogant, but he's not stupid.

Wei Wenyuan knew that he was not the opponent of Su Hao and Xinyan. He never had the idea of going head-to-head with these two men. The scene of Su Hao kneading the steel pipe into an iron ball was deeply reflected in his mind, shocking, more convincing than any words.

Besides, they have cars, guns, and are younger and stronger than me.

But this does not mean that Lao Tzu is at an absolute disadvantage———— of course I can't beat you, but someone can kill you, level you, and abolish you!

The wind blowing in his face was a little cold, but the sixty-eight-year-old Wei Wenyuan felt that his blood was boiling. He pedaled the bike as fast as he could, his wrinkled face smiling all the time

Night falls. The residual heat of the day was quickly dissipated, and the entire world became colder and colder.

The roar of engines from the air dispelled the silence of the mountains and forests, and under the black cover of night, some shimmering lights that flickered like meteorites outside the sky gradually brightened. They were as red as the hungry eyes of zombies, getting closer and closer, gradually turning into a steady and blinding light.

Those were five "Nighthawk II" helicopters with extremely high load capacity. The red stars on a yellow background on both sides of the rudder wings are clearly visible by the lights, indicating that the planes belong to the military.

Li Daoyuan, who was wearing a gray-green combat uniform, jumped down from the cabin and looked at the open space in front of him with a complicated expression.

This is the KD03 base, which is also the garrison area set up by the military on the outskirts of Kunming and later abandoned by Yuan Bin.

The weeds on both sides of the airstrip grow so high that they block the ground recessed lights that serve as guidance beacons. Several of the temporary buildings looked thin, with loose doors creaking in the night wind. The camouflage net on the guard tower had long since collapsed, like torn rags, swept up the treetops by the wind.

The soldiers who got out of the helicopter inspected the base facilities separately, and all kinds of information quickly converged in front of the new commander-in-chief, Li Daoyuan.

The situation at KD03 was much worse than expected———— ground pipelines were destroyed, the solar system was unable to supply electricity, the reservoir had dried up, the underground oil tanks were left without oil, and the rooms covered in dust and debris were uninhabitable.

All in all, everything here needs to be fixed.

Li Daoyuan's face became more and more gloomy. He resisted the thought of scolding, patiently listened to the report of the last soldier, barely squeezed out a smile from his tight face, nodded faintly, and said, "Carry out repair work immediately, and strive to restore the power supply tomorrow morning." ”

If it weren't for the electronic navigation map, the helicopter squadron would not have been able to find the abandoned KD03 in the mountains and forests, let alone land it.

Rehabilitating the base requires a lot of supplies, and helicopter loads can't meet the demand. The only way is to clear the runway as soon as possible, provide power to the ground towers, and guide the transport aircraft to land.

It all takes time.

Thinking of this, Li Daoyuan's face with a gloomy smile appeared in front of his eyes again. He subconsciously clenched the gun, gritted his teeth fiercely, and reluctantly let go.

The loss of the prototype drug caused a shock in the upper echelons of the military. The head of the research department strongly demanded that those responsible be severely punished. Amid the arguments and shouting, the Supreme Guard Bureau detained Yuan Bin and his men who had returned to the central base. After less than two months in prison, he was released by order from the Supervisory Commission, and many people did not understand this, many people were shocked, and many people felt that it should have been the way it should have been.

After all, he had a father who was a general, and several uncles, uncles, aunts, and aunts who held real power in different branches of the military

The outbreak of the virus has changed the world, but it cannot change the way of thinking that is ingrained in the human mind.

As long as you have someone behind you, whatever you've done, it's right.

Lee Do-won was just an ordinary captain officer. He couldn't have known these secrets from normal channels.

He has a cousin who served in the special forces of the "Dragon's Tooth". A few years ago, when they were in the northwest base, several people had eaten and drank wine with Yuan Bin. Because of this relationship, Li Daoyuan was more or less aware of the anger caused by the loss of some prototype drugs in the research department of the army.

With his military rank and status, of course, it is impossible to know the words "prototype medicine". He only knew that what Yuan Bin did in KD03 violated his military status and harmed the interests of the country, resulting in hundreds of casualties.

As long as there are human beings, there are contradictions.

The military is not monolithic, and the top level cannot be completely controlled by the Yuan family. There are many people who are resentful, and they are indignant at the extremely unfair handling of the Yuan Bin incident. First, several generals who were powerless to change the current situation complained at the wine table, and it is said that they even smashed their glasses. They acquiesced, or should I say, condone the guards who heard the words, to spread the conversation privately. Words such as "Yuan Bin", "felony", "unfair handling", and "tolerance" quickly spread from the mouths of several people, and in just a few weeks, they spread like a virus into everyone's ears.

In the past, Li Daoyuan didn't like Yuan Bin.

Now, he only felt disgusted.

In any case, as his successor, he must restore the operation of KD03 in the shortest possible time.

The military intelligence department carefully studied the reports and videos that Yuan Bin brought home, and interrogated all those involved separately. Yuan Bin's move to change the route of the medicine without permission has been confirmed to be his personal behavior. Although he later sent a large number of armed men to search the square, and repeatedly searched along the transport route, the prototype was still nowhere to be found. In the military's high-level files, the whereabouts of this unique potion have been marked with many question marks.

As with Yuan Bin, the intelligence agencies are divided into two opinions on whether to invest manpower in the search for the prototype drug.

The former believes that the KD01 Institute has cracked the secret of 80% of the prototype drug. According to the data and information transmitted, the central base has been able to produce its own immune potions, first- to third-level enhancement potions, energy potions, and activation potions that significantly increase the lifespan of the user. Although production volumes vary, more survivors can be supplied as new production lines are gradually put into operation. In other words, the mission of the prototype is almost over. Although there are still some secrets that have not yet been fully solved, and there are still some hidden elements that have not been thoroughly studied, there is actually no more meaning for the big picture.

The latter have very different opinions. They believe that the prototype potion is irreplaceable, and that the last part of the secret that has not yet been unlocked must be much more important than the part that has been decrypted. Taking advantage of this sudden incident, the opposition in the military department began to raise more questions———— why did they put the prototype medicine in the KD01 research institute in the first place, instead of immediately transferring it to the central base? Why not deploy more guards at the KD01 base? So much so that after the outbreak of the virus, the transfer work of the institute had to be restricted by Yuan Bin, so that on the day of the incident, there was not even a single helicopter, and the escort force of up to 100 people was wiped out?

If if or if

The endless bickering is tireless, and almost all departments are chasing after what is rightfully their own.

Of course, some anger is understandable, but the use of the topic has to be wary. A wide-ranging investigation soon began at each base. Both the positive and negative sides have been suppressed to varying degrees in the chaos. Some come from opponents, while others come from third-party forces. The search for a prototype potion can only be delayed indefinitely. So much so that when the Ministry of Intelligence reconvened last week to put the incident back on the agenda, everyone said they could not continue the search plan.

Time is a terrible medicine.

It can cover and destroy many traces of what was originally there.

What's more, that city has long been a zombie world. Without a satellite positioning device, looking for a small leather bag in a megacity is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Zombies, of course, are not interested in purses containing potions, but they can walk around with their belts without them knowing. Every detail of the helicopter footage at that time was magnified, and the intelligence services cleaned up the hundreds of thousands of photos that were broken down one by one, and finally did not find a similar object on the picture.

Like the archival records that Su Hao had seen on his computer in the future world, two days ago, the military began to set up supervision bureaus in all cities across the country. This means that history has not changed and is still following a fixed trajectory.

Li Daoyuan is now the chief officer of the KD03 base and the director of the Kunming District Supervision and Administration Bureau.

Like other city inspectors, he has two main tasks.

First, assess the strength of survivors in the jurisdiction and distribute immunization drugs among the population.

Second: to monitor those who have a good evaluation of the battle, and provide them with food, weapons, and medicine. After passing the combat effectiveness test, they changed their identity and had military status and were sent to the Chengdu base.

Whether it is a written record or a face-to-face admonition from a superior official, the contents have long been clear———— Captain Li Daoyuan only needs to be responsible for those who are alive, and there is no order for him to exterminate the zombies. Even the defense suggestion of the upper departments for the defense of base KD03 is only "under the condition of ensuring safety, the air force or long-range artillery can be called in to counterattack the corpses besieging the base." ”

Base KD03 was repaired a little faster than expected.

At 10:38 a.m. the next day, the base tower was connected to the power supply and resumed normal use. At 7:22 p.m., medium-sized military transport planes flying from the direction of Chengdu began to land and unload the first batch of supplies requested by the base.

Most of them are communications equipment and ammunition.

In addition, there were thirty soldiers who arrived at random.

Like the first group of base members to arrive, such as Lee Do-won, they have all been injected with immunization and the first phase of boosting drugs. This biomodifier derived from the prototype drug has no side effects on the human body, but because the user's bones cannot match the muscles, these soldiers are not yet considered first-order hardeners.

This situation is the same as when Su Hao just landed in the shopping mall a few months ago.

He had been injected with immunotherapy and had taken Silver Bone, so the bones were the first to be strengthened. If it weren't for the archetypal potion from the dead officer, he would still be an incomplete non-fortified person.

After all, the concept of "strengthening" is aimed at bones and muscles. It is impossible for any one of them to exert a strong enough biological power.

In other words, just possessing the Silver Bone or the Enhancement Elixir can only become a "Concept Enhancer" with 50% of the strength.

Including Yuan Bin, despite his special status, he has injected a third-order medicine that is still in the experimental stage through alternative channels, but he still only has muscle strength up to the standard, and his bones still cannot be strengthened synchronously. This problem was not until a year later, the Englishman Luther. Kavez's findings were only changed after they were published.

It was from that time that the magical tiny particles of "silver bones" really entered the sight of the power holders of various countries and became an important strategic material for competition.

As a result, human research on zombies began to enter a deepening stage. In addition to the bones, these monsters, which were formed by human infection mutations, were dissected extensively. Their skin, hair, flesh, and even hormones and bodily fluids have become new subjects of study for biologists. Precious items, including putrefaction hormones, are also gradually being discovered.

Su Hao has always guarded the secret of the silver bone.

Of course, he will not forget the time when the military set up inspectorates in various cities.

He wasn't going to give up the honor of "Silver Bone Discoverer" to Luther. Kavez. Rather, they want to use it as a bargaining chip to get more and greater benefits from the military.

This is a right that belongs to the traverser, and no one can take it away.

Unless, you can see the future

A heavy armored transport vehicle sped into the city, with the arrogance and savagery of destroying everything, crashing into several abandoned cars that were clogging the road from end to end, like a wild buffalo rushing from the horizon, roaring into the road.

This is to the west of the city, far south of where the bank building is located.

This military transporter is well-defended and powerful. Specially designed tires are enough to crush anything that dares to resist. Along the way, zombies kept shaking their bodies and pounced on the side of the road, wrenched under the car by the crazy spinning tires, accompanied by the terrible sound of broken bones and rotten flesh, completely turning into vague and viscous plasma.

The transport vehicle drove all the way into the garrison headquarters, quickly crossed the empty playground, completed a full set of drifting operations under the driver's superb operation skills, pointed the front of the car at the gate, and slowly stopped.

The closed rear door slammed open, and more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers jumped out of the compartment.

They worked in groups of three to search office buildings and camps. The armor plate on the roof of the transporter slowly became tilted, and two 12 rose from inside the car. 7 mm caliber heavy machine gun. In the event of an anomaly, these weapons will provide the most powerful support to the soldiers.

Wu Guoguang jumped out of the passenger seat and strode to the center of the playground. Raising his head, he looked at the flag on the roof of the building that had not been changed for a long time and had faded due to the sun and rain, and felt a little emotional.

He is tall and stout, with a typical military temperament in his movements and standing. Sharp-eyed, stubble-covered cheeks look rugged, reminiscent of coarse sandpaper or whetstones.

There is only one garrison command in the city. Since the outbreak of the virus, many people have been here. Su Hao belonged to the luckier ones, he smashed open the underground armory, took all the weapons and other reserves, and looted them cleanly, not even a pair of gloves and a single bullet were left.

Ten minutes later, the various teams had completed their initial search mission. The information gathered is not much different from what was expected. It is nothing more than that the electrical equipment is intact, no survivors have been found, the electrical barriers inside and outside the gate are still usable, the underground shaft has not been contaminated, and so on

"What, the underground armory was destroyed, all weapons and ammunition were missing?"

When he heard the news, Wu Guoguang was only surprised.

According to the order, Second Lieutenant Wu Guoguang and these soldiers were among the first batch of supervisors stationed in the city.

They are under the direct jurisdiction of Base KD03 and must establish a defense and communication mechanism at the garrison headquarters within twenty-four hours. According to Wu Guoguang's request, KD03 base will airlift supplies and soldiers in batches, and on this basis, the second, third, and even more monitoring stations will be established one after another.

The military has never had a plan to rescue survivors. The purpose of setting up the monitoring station is simply to select the strongest among the survivors. As in history, it is not only necessary to take potions to become an enhancer, but also to fight for the death in a city full of zombies, and there is also the possibility of natural strengthening.

The Garrison Command is part of the Military Control Zone. The buildings here are all built to military standards and are very sturdy. There is also an underground interception wall at the gate and at the entrance to the camp. It was two steel grates more than three meters high, which even heavy transport trucks could not knock through, and could only be destroyed by direct hits of ** or artillery shells.

In a city that has lost order and control, anything can happen.

Wu Guoguang had already made psychological preparations for the loss of all the weapons and ammunition in his stockpile.

However, deep down, there is still a little bit of hope. These things are actually not worth mentioning for the military. But with this batch of munitions, Wu Guoguang could quickly establish more than a dozen firepower points near the garrison headquarters. After all, it is cumbersome and takes time to transport weapons from base KD03 by helicopter.

As the commander of the first batch of personnel stationed in the garrison, Wu Guoguang carefully studied the architectural structure of the garrison headquarters———— the walls of the underground armory were thick, and it was a standard fortification with a large amount of steel bar. The all-steel door wall is extremely protective and can only be destroyed by a large impact drill bit. Now, even such places have been destroyed, so what security is there in the city?

Countless thoughts quickly raced through his mind, and then he called a few soldiers to join him and walked towards the basement of the office building.

Wu Guoguang wanted to see the broken door with his own eyes.
