Volume I, Section 133, Public Opinion
Standing on the main building of the candidate officer training camp, Lin Xufei looked through the window and silently watched Su Hao, who was leading a large group of people to carry weapons and equipment on the playground.
There are not many types of equipment: except for combat uniforms, which are individual medical kits.
The armament was a bit more cumbersome: only six of the 10-man combat squad carried 9mm assault rifles. The other four were equipped with millimeter cannons that had just been developed and were in the experimental stage.
With an unloaded weight of 85 kilograms and a maximum rate of fire of UU rounds per minute, this weapon can form effective suppression at a range of two thousand meters, and its power is very amazing.
In addition to these, each person must also carry a carbon battle axe.
As for the food...... In addition to the high-calorie compressed cake, only 500 ml of clean water.
This is the officer's lounge. In addition to Lin Xufei, there were five or six people standing in front of the window, looking out with mocking eyes.
A tall captain crossed his hands in front of his chest, snorted coldly and shook his head repeatedly: "The rebuilding of the CR team is just a matter of adding a few more people, and there is still no change in equipment." With six light and four heavy weapon configurations, does this guy surnamed Su Hao want to fight positional warfare? β
The 20-mm cannon is currently at the experimental stage. Soldiers with second-order augmentation can be loaded solo, but aiming and control are problematic. Because this weapon is so large, it has exceeded the physiological control limit of human individual weapons. In terms of height and length, it is not desirable.
The expression on one of the lieutenant's faces was very jealous, and he said with ulterior motives: "I guess the commander must have something wrong with his brain." actually appointed a mourning dog as the squad commander. Don't forget, the CR team suffered heavy losses in the last assessment mission, and only this guy came back alive. I betββββ he must have thrown the others to the mutant creatures and then took the opportunity to escape. β
These words immediately aroused a burst of approval among the officers.
"I've seen a lot of people like this. Abandon your colleagues and run for your own life. When the virus broke out, many people died like this. Betrayal, deception, stabbing from places you didn't expect...... Hehe, in order to survive, they will do anything. β
"Not surprising. Survival is originally a subconscious reaction of human beings. β
"I don't care about others, but if anyone brings this vile habit to the barracks, I will crush his eggs and make him feel inferior when he sees a woman in the future."
Lin Xufei did not participate in the discussion.
He stood quietly in front of the window, watching Su Hao and the others count the weapons one by one and load all kinds of equipment onto the truck. Time passed minute by minute, and gradually, the corners of Lin Xufei's mouth slowly curved, revealing an inexplicable smile.
Suddenly, he seized the gap in the officers' conversation and said lukewarmly: "Everyone, do you know the goal of the CR team's assessment mission this time?" β
No one answered, and all eyes suddenly focused on Lin Xufei.
"I have a friend in the Judge Advocate General's Office."
Lin Xufei's tone was subdued, full of temptation to want to find out the secret: "At dinner last night, he told me that Su Hao, the new commander of the ββββ CR team, was very arrogant. According to the plan he reported, all team members must get "full honors" in this assessment. Oh, you know, what does that mean? β
The atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled.
There was silence for about five or six seconds, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter, and the discussion began to fall.
"All Excellent?"
A captain shook his head in a strange tone: "This kid surnamed Su really doesn't know the sky, it's really daring to think." β
The lieutenant next to him picked up the topic, and his expression was very disdainful: "How bold people are, how productive the land is." I always thought that this sentence only existed during the Great Revolution, but I didn't expect to witness it today. β
The other officer spoke more directly. He spat thick phlegm on the ground and said lazily, "Lieutenant Su must be crazy." Commanded by a madman, the CR team will definitely be wiped out in this assessment...... Oh no. At the very least, there should be one person alive. Perhaps, mutant creatures don't like to eat maniacs. They are smart and don't want to be infected by stupid viruses and then turn into fools. β
The room burst into laughter again.
Full excellence means that everyone in the entire squad must pass the assessment. The amount of silver bones and hedrons paid will also reach a surprisingly large amount
A major slowly stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps, Lieutenant Su has his own support." His Excellency the Commander may have given him a lot of benefits, the CR team only needs to go into the city casually for a turn, and when they come back, they can take out enough silver bones to pass the assessment? β
This statement is not impossible. Some recruits with connections and connections use this method to pass the assessment.
Anyway, the camp military judge only looks at the silver bone calculation results paid.
As for where these things come from? How many mutated creatures did you actually kill in the city? It doesn't really matter.
"No, it can't be."
Lin Xufei said lightly: "The CR team's mission is directly responsible for the command. The Judge Advocate General's Office has sent personnel to enter the preset bases in Chengdu ahead of schedule. Lieutenant Su acted and was monitored from beginning to end. There will never be any deliberate release of water. β
Several officers looked at each other.
After a long time, a captain asked uncertainly, "Really?" β
Lin Xufei nodded seriously: "In this kind of matter, the people in the Judge Advocate General's Department will not lie. β
The lieutenant next to him hesitated a little: "According to the regulations, all combat teams that enter the abandoned city to participate in the assessment must hand in three hundred milligrams of silver bone or fifty spars in order to basically complete the task." In addition to this number, each alternate officer passed the assessment for a hundred milligrams of silver bone, or fifteen hedrons. There are a total of ten people in the CR squad. To achieve "full excellence", they must take out at least 1,300 milligrams of silver bone in five days. Based on an average of about two milligrams of silver bone per zombie, the number of kills must reach about 700 heads...... This, this is a joke, right? β
No one spoke, and there was a heavy breath in the room.
What is the concept of 700 mutant creatures?
A fully equipped regiment of the front-line troops can achieve no more than this result in the event of a full advantage.
There are only ten people in the CR team, and it is possible to kill the same number of zombies?
"No...... Those monsters in the city are no longer zombies. β
The young principal exhaled, and his gaze became cold: "According to the name checklist of mutant creatures issued by the military department, they should be blood corpses and humanoids. β
No one picked up the topic. The officers were well aware of what the major was trying to say.
Blood corpses and humanoids are agile, and their strength and speed far exceed that of zombies, and the difficulty of combat naturally increases exponentially.
Suddenly, the captain's face became cloudy and he roared.
"I don't believe he can do it. This is absolutely impossible. It's ridiculous to want to kill nearly 700 mutated creatures just by forcibly attacking. The CR squad will die, they will die alive in the cityββββ"
The sky is clear, and without the clouds, the sun can shine directly on the ground unbridledly, illuminating a space and leaving a shadow.
Su Hao is still wearing the standard combat uniform of a lieutenant officer. The 20mm cannon on his shoulder was always ready to fire, and his backpack was filled with ammunition and supplies, with two carbon battle axes stuck in his side. Instead of wearing a helmet, he opted for a barrel-type soft military cap of the same style as the combat suit.
This is not done for the sake of being different.
In this era, no one was more familiar with those mutated creatures than Su Hao. Especially in the face of bloody corpses and humanoids, the steel helmet's defensive effect is very limited. In some cases, it can even be an obstacle to mobility.
Behind him, followed by a combat squad of nine non-commissioned officers. They walked briskly, always paying attention to Su Hao's movements. No one spoke, but when a pair of eyes looked at Su Hao's back, they invariably revealed a complicated gaze.
The infantry was left behind, followed by four military heavy trucks. The carriages were loaded with ammunition and various weapon parts. This is one of Su Hao's requirements for Xu Renjie: it is necessary to ensure that the CR team has sufficient weapons and ammunition. Motorists are not involved in the fighting, they are only responsible for transporting the truckload to the designated location, unloading it, and then leaving.
The route is still the same as the last time the CR team walked.
At that time, Meng Yan was the captain.
Now, the leader is still Su Hao, but his identity has changed completely.
In front of an electric pole plastered with various small advertisements such as "treatment of venereal diseases", "certificates", and "old military doctor's telephone", Su Hao raised his left hand, and the entire team immediately stopped moving forward and looked for cover nearby.
Bai Yuncong bent on his waist, ran quickly to Su Hao's side, lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?" What did you find? β
He was originally an officer in charge of guarding the gates of Base City.
Yesterday afternoon, Bai Yuncong received an order from the group army headquarters to complete ββββ work in hand within two hours, and rushed to the alternate officer training camp before 18 o'clock to report to Su Hao, the new commander of the CR squad.
Su Hao turned his head, glanced at the shoulder-fired millimeter cannon on Bai Yuncong's body, stretched out his hand and pointed to the end of the street in the distance, and said in a calm and calm tone: "Adjust the magnification of the scope by 65 percent, and the electronic ruler is 500 meters, and you will know the way by yourself." β
The city under the scorching sun is full of strong reflections, and from time to time all kinds of strange sounds come from the corners. Although the distance is far away, it makes people's hearts always high and tight.
The second-order enhanced visual power, coupled with the magnifying effect of the electronic sight, made Bai Yuncong clearly see that in the direction that Su Hao pointed, there were four hideous-looking humanoids.
They are completely black, and their legs are completely mutated into hind limbs, which are extremely thick and powerful. Both arms were already showing obvious signs of degeneration, with no fingers, only a slight bulge in the front of the palm, and the claws were unusually sharp.
These humanoids have triangular heads, with the entire face ending at the bridge of the nose and convex towards the front. It's like a triangular ruler being forced into a human head, erecting the whole head into a strange and inexplicable shape. The distance from the forehead to the tip of the nose is at least twenty centimeters, and the lips are pulled closer to the neck. The eyes are not on the same line as the face, but on the left and right cheeks. You don't need to deflect your head to see the angles on both sides and slightly behind your body.
Their incisors are large and white, like two knives standing side by side upright.
The four-headed man was lying on his stomach in an abandoned car, seemingly gnawing on something. Due to their low location and the obstruction of abandoned vehicles, they are difficult to spot from a normal viewing angle.
Bai Yuncong looked carefully at these monsters in the scope. He felt like a fire was burning in his head, stimulating the killing mind to swell.
He used to be a technical officer, in charge of mechanical maintenance. Interpersonal crushing and jealousy exist in all eras. Even Bai Yuncong himself didn't understand when he offended the technical director of the ordnance maintenance department. As a result, he was transferred to the combat unit. Before passing the training camp assessment, he temporarily served as an officer on duty at the city gate of the base city.
"These things, they ...... What exactly are they? β
Bai Yuncong has seen zombies, as well as the corpses of mutated creatures transported into the base city by refugees and wealthy consortia.
At that time, they were dead. It was the first time for him to observe a living monster up close like this.
While checking the magazine of the millimeter cannon, Su Hao replied nonchalantly: "They are humanoids. Rat people, to be exact.
"Nezumen?"
Behind him, there was a whisper full of great surprise: "Could it be that they are rats?" β
Su Hao and Bai Yuncong turned around at the same time.
A female ensign with short ear-length hair was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the 9mm rifle in her hand tightly, and the expression on her face was extremely shocking.
Her name is Su Xiao, and she is one of the new members of the CR team, and she is also the third officer in the entire team in addition to Su Hao and Bai Yuncong.
When the list of team members was read out at the training camp, someone joked: "Su Xiao, it should be Su Hao's sister." β
Actually, it's not like that at all.
Su Hao glanced at Su Xiao's full chest that was held up by the tight-fitting combat suit, and said calmly: "It's not appropriate to use the word "change" to sum it up. Their main genes are still human. The virus destroys the immune system, causing widespread ulceration and cell death, leaving humans zombies. Rats and zombies form cross-infections, invade the brain, form new nerve centers, and cause residual cells to divide faster, accumulating in a way that has the dual characteristics of humans and mice. As a result, their heads and some of the physical signs are the same as those of rats, but they still have the basic human appearance. β
This brief conversation drew all the team members over.
Su Xiao's fingers were abnormally blue and white because they were too hard. She looked at the street in the distance with concern, trying to control the horror in her heart, and subconsciously asked, "Nezumi...... They, do they still eat people like zombies? β
"Nezumi are just a branch of humanoids. They are the product of genetic optimization and have the dual advantages of both humans and mice. They are good at hiding and have an amazing tolerance for pain and injury. These monsters are agile, especially in complex terrain battles, and their agility and speed far surpass that of humans. Speaking of food...... They are not picky eaters, and they do not refuse to eat their former cousins just because they were once human
Su Hao did not reject the way of popular science teaching in a state of imminent war. He shouldered the heavy cannon and motioned for Su Xiao and Bai Yuncong to occupy the nearest attack position, and the sound was loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Pay attention to my shooting methods. I know that you have all been injected with second-order potions and silver bones, and the optic nerves and muscle tissues that have been strengthened can β₯ you complete rapid ejection with an accuracy of more than 85% in a short period of time. But I have to explain to you that ββββ actual combat and range practice are two very different concepts. If you don't want to stay in camp forever, if you pass the exam after five days. From now on, then, you had better spare no effort to carry out every one of my orders. β
These words are not superfluous.
Driven by the public opinion of some people with ulterior motives, Su Hao and all the members of the CR squad have recently become the most discussed hot topic within the military in the base city.
Many people believe that Su Hao belongs to the lucky rabbit.
Isn't it?
All nine members of the team were killed in the battle, but he was the only one who survived. He was not injured, and brought back the silver bones and hedrons that had to be obtained by the whole team.
Coward.
rubbish
Battlefield slag.
All kinds of overwhelming negative evaluations flattened the name "Su Hao" like garbage.
But that's just how weird it is.
The Judge Advocate General's Office did not punish Su Hao, and the Group Army Command even made him the new commander of the CR squad.
No one was optimistic about this newly formed combat squad. Many people assert that the results of this assessment mission of the CR team will definitely be the same as last time.
Looking at the locked rat man in the scope, a sneer appeared on the corner of Su Hao's mouth.
He did not know the story between Wang Qinian and Xu Renjie, nor did he know the content of the correspondence and conversation in the office of Commander Lu Dao.
According to Wang Qinian's request to Xu Renjie, Su Hao should rush to the Academy of Sciences as soon as possible to attend the annual general meeting of the United Nations Biological Research Agency after he was released from prison.
Before Xu Renjie said these things, Su Hao took the initiative to ask to be the commander of the CR team and lead the new team members to conduct combat assessments. He promised that he would definitely get the team's "full honors" results.
In the Academy of Sciences, Su Hao has gained a firm foothold.
The so-called "three holes of cunning rabbits", he needs to have a stable camp in the military.
Xu Renjie is a soldier, and he only values military exploits.
As for the General Assembly of the United Nations Agency for Biological Research...... According to the history of the future world, the institution will be attacked by a massive mutated biota tomorrow. The American troops in charge of the guard suffered heavy casualties. As a last resort, all United Nations agencies were forced to relocate to the desert areas of Nevada. The General Assembly of the General Administration of Biological Research can only be rescheduled and reconvened in half a year.
Except for Su Hao, no one knows these things.
This active performance made Xu Renjie very satisfied.
He gave Su Hao the greatest authority in terms of materials and weapons and equipment. There were no obstacles in terms of personnel, and all of them were assigned by Lin Xufei, the director of the training camp, in order.
