The new Guiyang base city has spread an unprecedented atmosphere of fear.

Most of the residents and all the officers and soldiers in this city have fortified people, and there are also several alpha evolutionaries who serve as Su Hao's guards. No one is more sensitive to danger than the "worker bees". What's more, there are quite a few sources of warning signs and the mysterious mental connection between Su Hao, the "Queen Bee" and the "Worker Bee" so that the consciousness is brought into full play. A person's thinking fluctuations can immediately cause a sensation in a large crowd.

Su Hao stood in front of the window, gritted his teeth, and stared at the falling nuclear bomb with bloodshot eyes.

At this moment, all the cells in his body were in an unprecedented state of madness. The sensitivity of black particles to danger is no weaker than that of Su Hao himself. The thing was apparently alive, and it passed directly past the brain, issuing commands to the thinking tentacles, mobilizing a huge number of microorganisms from the air, moisture, and soil to wrap themselves on the surface of the bomb's metal casing.

Su Hao's brain consciousness and black particles reached a common point at this moment. He "saw" the plan of action for the black particles. It's crazy, and it's simple: Guided by the tentacles of thought, you can order microbes to devour the entire nuclear bomb in a hurry.

Yes, devour.

In this world, there are many microorganisms that like to feed on other substances. For example, metals, such as radioactive materials.

Su Hao was completely shocked.

He never imagined that black particles would be so crazy.

It was a massive nuclear bomb, not a metal element invisible to the naked eye.

Stoves and keys used at home can rust, which is also due to the phagocytosis effect of microorganisms on metal. Of course, in the human dictionary, this phenomenon is called "rust".

Mobilizing microorganisms is a very difficult and cumbersome task. Taking the passage around Xinguiyang as an example, if it weren't for the fact that Huang He, Zhang Nanyi and others had arranged "worker bees" in various locations and arteries according to their orders, as the divergence and reception points of the thinking tentacles, Su Hao would not have been able to mobilize a huge number of microorganisms to disturb and stop the attacking troops.

In just a few minutes, it was impossible to gather enough microorganisms to swallow the entire nuclear bomb. Taking a step back, even if they were able to channel a sufficient number of microorganisms, they would not be able to complete the engulfment in a short period of time.

There is another way. That is to concentrate everyone's thinking energy, generate the effect of the human body's magnetic field, and push the nuclear bomb to rise in reverse to a height that cannot affect the base city.

However, such an approach must be constrained by the "human" factor. The AWACS aircraft that dropped the nuclear bomb never left, it still hovered over the base. Obviously, if the nuclear bomb had not exploded after it had fallen to the ground, the pilots would certainly have continued to send the detonation code. If there is such a strange thing as a nuclear bomb not falling but rising, the other side will definitely react in the same way.

What to do?

Su Hao felt his hair stand on end, and the blood from all over his body surged up on the top of his head. His eyes were fixed on the nuclear bomb falling from the sky, and he didn't notice that his face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot.

"You should trust me."

This is the sense of contact emitted by the black particles. Since the injection of the prototype drug, Su Hao has "heard" this "voice" many times. It is the cells in one's own body that are shouting, and it is the tiny life that is invisible to the naked eye that transmits information.

Except to choose to believe, Su Hao has no second way to go.

He watched as the thinking energy continued to diverge and extend, channeling more microorganisms from the vicinity of the New Guiyang base. Those tiny beings are wrapped around the surface of the projectile, and despite their sheer numbers, they still cannot reach the distance that can be seen by the naked eye. In the depths of Su Hao's perceptual consciousness screen, there are mutated creatures with teeth and claws, and terrifying sizes. They're frantically gnawing around the nuclear bomb. Tear off pieces of metal elements, spray corrosive liquids such as concentrated acid to dissolve hard objects, and then slowly drink the liquid rich in metal elements...... But even so, the appearance of the nuclear bomb has not changed in the slightest.

The difference in the size of the same volume is simply too great. If "microseconds" is used as the unit of time at this moment, then the part of the nuclear bomb that has been swallowed by microorganisms can only be counted in terms of "nanometers", "picometers", or even "femtometers".

All the "worker bees" feel the despair from the "queen bee". Everyone's hearts sank and they looked at the sky with great fear.

Of course, Su Hao is not afraid of nuclear radiation and explosions. At present, more than half of the members of the new Guiyang base are fifth-order enhancers. Under normal circumstances, they have a seventy percent chance of surviving the explosion. Even if you are seriously injured, there is a great possibility of healing. What's more, all the "worker bees" are dispensed with energy potions, and the survival rate can reach 100%.

Refugees and "would-be worker bees" are certain to die. The biggest loss is still this base city that has been painstakingly built. It will be flattened in the explosion, which means that the "swarm" has completely lost its support in this direction.

"Trust me"

The black particles sent the same message again. But in Su Hao's view, this is just a comfort that is better than nothing for those who share the same disease in the case of a common fate.

"Trust me, you should believe me"

The black particles connected with Su Hao's consciousness and figured it out. Its attitude has become tougher and tougher, and it has even become ferocious

"You have to believe me, you have to believe in me unconditionally"

Su Hao's thinking nerves are highly tense, and he has been paying attention to the process of microbial engulfment of nuclear bombs. Soon, the body of the bomb was only about 100 meters above the ground, but there was no change in the warning of danger.

Su Hao's face was dead.

The nuclear bomb, which was falling at high speed, finally landed. It accurately fell into a small two-story building in the easterly direction of Base City, smashed a large hole in the roof of the building, and fell into the house.

There was no explosion, just a dull, but palpitating thud.

Su Hao only felt the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitch slightly. He didn't dare to leave his position in the slightest, still holding on to the tentacles of his mind wrapped around the nuclear bomb. At the same time, he turned around and hurriedly ordered several guards who rushed into the office: "Rush over immediately and control the perimeter of the bullet impact point." Ordered the air defense forces to knock that plane down. Also, evacuate people inside and outside the city immediately. ”

The moment the nuclear bomb landed, Su Hao already understood the movements of the black particles.

The microbes did not give up the engulfment of the nuclear bomb. There are many different types of them, and under the guidance of the thinking antennae, some microorganisms penetrate from the surface of the metal shell and enter the inside of the nuclear bomb, hindering the transmission of the detonation signal and disabling the trigger mechanism.

A nuclear bomb that cannot be detonated cannot cause damage. As long as the detonation switch is controlled from the source, it is a lump of scrap metal falling from the sky.

The human brain is always disturbed by sudden dangers and shocks, so that it is unable to think in a normal state. Su Hao is no exception. He only saw the catastrophe caused by the explosion of the nuclear bomb, and he tried to prevent the nuclear bomb from falling to the ground. But they never thought about how to stop the explosion. The black particles are precisely the instinct of living beings to respond to danger, and they solve the problem at the root.

Two "UU" air defense systems were urgently deployed, and the missiles that took off accurately hit the No. 9 AWACS aircraft, which was still hovering in the air. The explosions and fires were unusually dazzling under the hazy sky, like a sun that had just torn through the clouds.

There is a special operations unit in the base city that is responsible for dealing with emergencies. The thinking energy has been controlling the microorganism's password lock on the nuclear bomb, and the process of manually dismantling the detonating device has become orderly...... Two hours later, the entire base city had been lifted from the state of combat of the highest sector and entered full alert.

Su Hao opened the communication with Zhao Zhikai again.

The moment the picture appeared on the screen, Zhao Zhikai's roar had already burst out of the microphone: "What do you want?" Do you still have the sincerity to want to negotiate? Do you think I'm a toy that I can play with at will?

Su Hao did not sneer at each other, nor did he get angry on the spot. He calmly typed in the electronic message transmission code and sent over the events that had just happened a few hours ago. Of course, he won't mention the inside story of how he and the Black Particles resolved the crisis.

The new Guiyang base is also equipped with a ground monitoring system for early warning aircraft. The automatic camera captured the whole process of dropping the nuclear bomb on 9, as well as all the pictures of the bomb falling to the ground and the demolition of the detonation system on the spot by the special service personnel

The anger on Zhao Zhikai's face gradually disappeared. In its place, it was unprecedented solemnity and coldness.

He quickly went through all the texts, quickly summoned the adjutant, and ordered an inspection of the Xi'an air base.

The whole thing came to light within half an hour. The Xi'an base found the bodies of the killed crew members in the storage room, and found the underground hangar that had been disassembled into parts, so that the real No. 9 AWACS could be hidden. With regard to the modification and concealment of aircraft, a large number of people were involved. The details are under investigation, and some of the key personnel involved in Sun Zhan's plan have been identified.

When the remote communication was restored again, Su Hao didn't say a word. He stood in front of the screen and stared coldly at Zhao Zhikai, who looked embarrassed.

"Well, that's really our problem."

Zhao Zhikai rubbed his hands together and slowly pondered the following words: "I agree in principle to the conditions you put forward before, and I can also give you a part of the compensation. ”

In fact, as early as a few hours ago, when Su Hao just put forward the conditions, Zhao Zhikai had already agreed in his heart.

Su Hao has the base construction drawings provided by Wang Qinian, even if he does not provide raw materials, he can also obtain them from other sources. Refuse, there is no point. The reason why I say this now is just to push the boat along with the current.

Su Hao's voice was more gloomy than ever: "Hand over Sun Zhan." I've put up with him for a long time. This time, he must die. Luckily, it was a dud that didn't explode. If it explodes on the spot, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

From an outsider's point of view, a nuclear bomb that does not explode after landing can only be classified as a technical problem. Even Zhao Zhikai, although he felt that this matter was a little weird, and there were many details that made no sense, he couldn't imagine that it was completely the effect of microorganisms. After all, that's beyond what humans know is normal.

Zhao Zhikai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can't meet this request." ”

A hint of hideousness flashed in Su Hao's eyes: "Why?" ”

"Because he's dead."

Zhao Zhikai casually clicked on the battle screen in the administrative headquarters area a few hours ago, pressed the teleportation button, and said, "The details are inside." See for yourself."

The picture frame that appears in the lower right corner of Su Hao's screen is very clear. Sun Zhan's old face was half-crooked, his entire head was bleeding, his body was broken like a pig chopped by a butcher in the vegetable market, his straight and severed ribs were shocking, and his distorted expression was extremely hideous, but his skin had already turned white and was lifeless.

Zhao Zhikai has been paying attention to Su Hao's emotional changes. He said lightly: "When you landed from the seaside, you caused a lot of movement. Someone wants to meet you. ”

Su Hao had already guessed the answer, but he still pretended not to know anything, and asked, "Who?" ”

Zhao Zhikai's expression was very complicated: "You've seen that guy." The messenger of a higher civilization, but the name is a little awkward, Haba Banora. ”

It is true that the commitment of the chairman of the military department is more effective than the restraint on paper.

Half an hour after the end of the conversation, both the Northern Theater and the Eastern Theater received a special order from the military headquarters, and all the troops that had been sent before to besiege the new Guiyang base city were all recalled. Railway transportation between the various theaters and New Guiyang and New Chengdu has been restored, and on the latest chart issued by the Military Department, the 505th Group Army has been placed in the "friendly army" sequence.

The successive orders of the military department have indeed made outsiders a little confused. Less than an hour after the retreat order was issued, a second special order was again transmitted to all theater commands.

The content of the order was brief, but shocking: from now on, the Southern Theater of Operations will be formed on the basis of the 505th Army. The commander was Lieutenant General Su Hao, commander of the army.

A major general is clearly not quite suitable for the post of commander of the theater of operations. In order to equate the order with the reality, the Military Department Committee issued a document at the same time. This is almost a chapter of praise for Su Hao's achievements. From the initial contribution to zombie tactics as a civilian in the city of Kunming, as well as the outstanding achievements in the battle of Lujiang later, as well as the foresight of the Battle of Hefei, they are all listed one by one. Of course, the later countermeasures specifically aimed at Su Hao and the 505 Group Army were also interpreted as "being deceived" in the military department's writings. All the blame was put on Sun Zhan, who was already dead. In extremely violent terms, the Military Committee expressed its strong indignation at Sun Zhan's criminal actions.

Footage of Sun Zhan's battle at the administrative headquarters was edited and made into a propaganda video for the entire army to be published. Many scenes and shots have been specially processed to highlight his cruelty and madness, but the part of Sun Zhan's conversation with Zhao Zhikai has been subtracted, and some imitation syllables have been added outside the video according to Sun Zhan's actions at that time. For example, in a scene where Sun Zhan gritted his teeth and shot fiercely, he can be heard roaring: "I want to kill all of you, I have long been qualified to become a general, but you have always thought that I am incompetent......"

There are more than a dozen such remodeled images. Sun Zhan's wild shouting is nothing more than a fullness that has not yet reached his life goal, or a primitive vent for his unsatisfying desires. The Supreme Military Judge Advocate General's Office tried Sun Zhan in absentia, and everyone unanimously found Sun Zhan guilty of abuse of power, forming a party for personal gain, and other crimes. Although the offender is dead, he must be punished by the law. The most indispensable punishment was Sun Zhan's shattered corpse, stripped naked and suspended from the execution table outside the Beijing No. 1 base, where he was pecked and decomposed by birds.

If there are sinners, there will naturally be meritorious heroes.

At the suggestion of the Military Committee, the propaganda agency was in full swing and began to publicize Su Hao's exploits. The retreat of the 11th Independent Force from the new Nanyang base turned into a wise move to assess the situation. Su Hao emptied the important machinery and equipment of the entire base, which was glorified as "protecting national property from loss". In order to further highlight Su Hao, a rising star, the propaganda agency spent a lot of resources to produce dozens of large-scale documentaries with Su Hao as the protagonist. Su Hao's act of distributing food to refugees in the early days of the construction of New Guiyang is recorded in it, and the picture shows several military trucks full of food surrounded by thousands of people, and Su Hao personally handing cakes and canned food to civilians. Under the voice-over of professionals, viewers can feel the family affection and love of great people for ordinary people. Even the most hard-hearted person will be moved by Su Hao's action of preferring to starve himself in order to protect the civilians.

The order to pursue the 517th Division and Pei has been cancelled. Liu Jiangyuan and Fang Chen became survivors rescued by Su Hao at the most critical moment in the documentary. The scene of sniping mutant creatures on the road outside the city of Xinnanyang was reproduced in the documentary. Su Hao's courage with hundreds of soldiers and tens of thousands of mutated creatures was infinitely magnified. The off-screen voice over repeats the main point of the battle: "They had less than 200 men, but with their fearless courage and self-sacrificing spirit, they rescued the remnants of the defeated army from the mouths of tens of thousands of mutant creatures." They are not afraid of life and death, they are not afraid of hardship, they are the most outstanding and revered warriors of this dark age"

Although many issues regarding the Battle of Hefei have long been decided at the Military Committee. However, in order to highlight Su Hao's identity, the Military Justice Headquarters still checked the formulation of the Hefei campaign plan again. In total, more than 600 people have been implicated, all of whom are charged with "deliberation in the relevant plan". This kind of crime is not arbitrary, these people did obstruct or ignore Su Hao's protest at the time. Now, what has already been adjudicated has been turned over again. In the documentary, these people are denounced as "accomplices of the Dark Ages" and "vile and evil self-lusters". As the focus of publicity, Su Hao must of course be placed on the opposite side, and his image and prestige have reached an unprecedented peak.

The military department had too much negative propaganda about Su Hao before. Especially after Su Hao followed the delegation to the United States, the information on Su Hao's trial in absentia by the Military Justice Headquarters was completely disclosed.
