Volume I, Section 137 Verification

Looking at the highly decomposed corpses in the silk cocoon, Sibo felt that the world view in his mind was collapsing.

Gao Tianxing said: These tragedies could have been avoided.

Sibo's parents actually knew for a long time that there would be a virus storm in Langdao. The research and efforts they do are all about making sure that none of this happens.

However, there are always some people who will do whatever it takes for the sake of profit and power.

Sibo covered his lips and nostrils and cut through the cocoons with a knife.

He had a very peculiar feeling, or rather expectation.

He wanted to see if there would be some kind of miracle among these corpses that were stored as food by humanoids.

Sibo found the body of a pregnant woman who had just died.

Her high, bulging belly was still moving.

Without the slightest hesitation, Sibo swung his dagger and sliced the pregnant woman away.

In the amniotic fluid with a little residual warmth, there was a baby struggling on its own.

Looking at the baby boy who was kicking his legs and feet in his arms, Sibo's face was full of solemn and solemn expressions.

For the first time in his life, he realized that he had to do something. Instead of immersing yourself in the temple of music and art every day, as you used to be, surviving in beautiful melodies and fantasies.

According to the logical concept of the Black Age, this child should have died a long time ago.

If you want to survive, you must break through the shackles of the mother, drill out of the silk cocoon, and face the pollution, cold, and hunger of the outside world......

If it weren't for Sibo just walking into this room, killing the humanoids and breaking through the cocoon, the baby would still be just meat in the mouth of a monster.

It's a coincidence, but it's also undoubtedly a miracle.

In order to survive, a baby has to struggle desperately.

What's more, I'm still an adult, a strengthening person.

Even Sibo himself can't say clearly, why do you want to save this baby?

He had no idea of being a father, and he never had the idea of raising this child.

Sibo and the baby had been hiding in the room, waiting for the mutated creatures outside to slowly leave.

Just when he felt that the situation had become safe and was about to escape from the city with the baby in his arms, Su Hao detonated the first bomb.

And then, until now.

For the next few days, the CR team's only mission was to collect silver bones and hedrons from the mountains of mutated creatures.

This is pure manual work, and there is no way to take advantage of it.

Above the city, a small silver-gray airship floats.

This is a monitor sent by the command.

The aircraft began to follow the CR from the moment it entered the city, tracking the whole process and recording the entire battle. Although the footage of the night shooting is blurry, the number of mutated organisms recorded by the infrared automatic monitor is real and credible.

The members of the team all knew that there was an airship above their heads.

Bai Yuncong once thought that this was a mortal mission.

When he left the departure camp, Su Xiao felt that he would never come back.

In Liu Han's eyes, Su Hao is a coward who kills his teammates and runs for his life alone.

The rest of the team members almost all had similar ideas.

Now, no one talks about anything like that anymore. They had personally experienced fierce battles, and they were completely convinced by Su Hao's strategy and strength.

They used to be suspicious of Su Hao, and felt that the assessment task was simply to send him to death.

Now, they just consider themselves lucky.

A captain with rich experience, flexible mind, and strength far beyond ordinary people, no matter at any time, has a strong cohesion and convincing.

At noon on the third day after the end of the battle, Su Hao sent a report to the group army headquarters, requesting that relevant personnel be sent to conduct an on-site audit of the mission

Six hours later, a lieutenant colonel, escorted by a combat squad, drove an armed off-road vehicle into the city.

Looking at the streets in front of them filled with the corpses of mutant creatures, the new soldiers and officers invariably opened their mouths. Every face is full of heartfelt shock.

The lieutenant colonel was about forty years old, and he was shrewd in appearance and wore a pair of black wide-rimmed glasses.

He jumped out of the off-road vehicle and walked directly to Su Hao, who was wielding a tomahawk to split the corpse, and asked in an extremely amazed tone: "All of these are your achievements?" ”

Su Hao took off his mask, held his breath, breathed a little relief in the stench that was enough to smoke people to death, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve again, and nodded

This action immediately attracted the attention of the lieutenant colonel, and at the same time, he felt the smell of torment standing in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and hurriedly reached out and patted Su Hao's shoulder, motioned for the other party to follow, and then walked briskly towards the stronghold of the building.

More than 10 minutes later, the statistical work was over.

No one would be stupid enough to take the initiative to look through the corpses of those monsters and count them one by one.

They just stink.

Coupled with the hot climate, the outside of the building looks like a garbage dump full of rotten flesh. Among the scattered pieces of meat and offal, rats can be seen eating at all times, as well as insects such as cockroaches and mosquitoes. They are very bold and are not afraid of the team members coming and going. Hedrons and silver bones don't have the slightest attraction to them, and they don't worry about whether their guts will adapt to the flesh of mutated creatures. Occasionally, a member of the team will turn over the corpse, disturbing the rats who are feasting on their food, and they will even bare their teeth and make a fierce appearance, viciously guarding their loot.

The lieutenant colonel took the towel from the soldier next to him, soaked it in clean water, covered his mouth and nose, and took several deep breaths before finally relieving himself.

"Hello, Lieutenant Su."

He stretched out his right hand very enthusiastically: "My name is Ren Yijiang, the director of the Third Information Collection Office of the Military Law Department of the Group Army. ”

Su Hao smiled and behaved very politely.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it was true."

Ren Yijiang dusted off the dust on the surface of the resume on his chest, lifted his slightly sloppy eyes, and said in a shrewd tone peculiar to a middle-aged man of his age: "There are only ten people in the CR team, and no weapons of mass destruction have been distributed beyond the limit. Oh, I really don't understand how you guys did it? It must have been very thrilling, full of crisis and death. But then again, that's the point of assessmentβ€”β€”β€”β€” if anyone can easily complete the task, then the training camp has no value at all. ”

The lieutenant colonel spoke very directly, and he had a very good appetite for Su Hao.

He smiled calmly and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Ren, this place is really bad. Staying for an extra second can feel like you might be suffocating. ”

Ren Yijiang understood the meaning of Su Hao's words. He nodded, looked out the window, looked at the corpse surrounded by flies on the road, and said seriously, "So, let's get things done?" ”

Su Hao kept smiling: "This is as it should be." ”

Ren Yijiang was very satisfied with the other party's attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, and continued: "My task is to inspect your battle scene. Lieutenant, there are many people who have doubts about whether the CR team can get "full honors" in the assessment. Of course, the footage taken by the surveillance probe is another matter, and I only trust my own eyes. You've had a great track record, but the environment in this place is so bad that I'll give you a rough kill figure β€”β€”β€”β€” fifteen hundred mutated creatures. ”

Su Hao's expression was very calm.

He was not Xu Renjie's cronies, and the two of them were strangers before that. In order to gain the trust of the commander of the group army, Su Hao must show strength beyond ordinary people. This is also the real reason why the CR team will pass the assessment with a "full excellent" evaluation, and requires the headquarters to assign airships to follow the whole process, and the Judge Advocate General's Office sends relevant personnel to inspect on the spot.

Only 700 mutant creatures need to be killed, and the CR team can get "All Excellent".

Liu Han and Su Xiao's unexpected actions caused as many as four thousand mutated creatures to enter the ambush circle. Of course, the actual number will definitely vary somewhat, but it will definitely not be lower than three thousand seven or eight.

Ren Yijiang said very clearly, 1,500 is just the result of "visual inspection".

The collapsed corpse walls in the distant streets, the underneath the collapsed buildings, and the places buried in rubble and rubble, were filled with untold corpses of monsters. If you dig them up, it takes a lot of time.

A week, or even half a month.

Ren Yijiang's eyes flashed with an uncertain light.

He said meaningfully, "Lieutenant, we all know very well that the actual kill numbers must be more than that. But you have to understand that the CR team has performed well enough, and even far exceeded expectations. Fifteen hundred, even I was surprised by the number. You must know that under normal circumstances, the results of an armored regiment are nothing more than this. And you, there are only ten of them. ”

"The commander has already seen the battlefield footage sent back by the aerial detection unit. He asked me to underestimate as much as possible your actual results. There are a lot of people staring at you. Outstanding performance is, of course, the duty of a soldier. But if you do it too well, beyond the limits of logical thinking, good things can turn into bad things. The CR squad only needs less than 2,000 milligrams of silver bone to pass the test. Right now, you've killed thousands of mutant creatures. Hehe, this record is so exaggerated that many people will question it. ”

Ren Yijiang's tone was very sincere, and there was no element of ridicule or ridicule. He smacked his lips, his expression embarrassed, but there was a look in his eyes that wanted to be understood.

"There are a lot of blind bastards in this world. They never approve of things that are beyond the scope of understanding. They also never look at the actual data, only trust the data deduced by the computer. Lieutenant Su, in fact, one thing only needs to achieve the goal, and it is enough. Adding to the snake is often counterproductive. ”

Su Hao stretched his body, smiled and asked, "This is what Commander Xu meant?" ”

Ren Yijiang nodded.

"Well, I don't have any problems."

Su Hao smiled brightly. He grabbed the battle axe leaning against the wall next to him, handed it to Ren Yijiang, and said seriously: "There are still many corpses here that have not been dissected. We've got the silver bones and hedrons we need to pass the exam. It's still early to leave, hurry up and don't waste anything. ”

Ren Yijiang took the carbon battle axe and looked at him with interest: "Hehe, what is this?" Private bribery? ”

Su Hao replied with a smile: "Call all your people, and take as much as you can." We've taken enough, it's safe here, and there's enough to gain as long as you endure the smell and temperature. ”

Ren Yijiang is no longer hypocritical.

He waved his hand to call a soldier who came with the car, took out two bags of milk powder from his backpack, and handed them to Su Hao.

"Hold, here's what you asked for in your newsletter."

The next morning, Ren Yijiang left with Sibo and the baby.

At 11:36 p.m., all the members of the CR team walked into the departure camp and handed the canvas bag containing the silver bone to the military judge in charge of weighing.

There is a lot of intersection between lives.

Su Hao and Sibo never thought about what this chance encounter in the abandoned city represented?

One, a registered military officer.

One, is the heir of the consortium, but the identity belongs to the civilian after all.

Su Hao has a crush on Sibo, largely because of the baby. In his opinion, people who can escape with babies in the ruins full of danger and death are kind and worthy of respect.

Sibo witnessed the CR team's most brutal scene of annihilating bloody corpses and humanoids. The high-rise buildings that collapsed in the explosion and fire shook his nerves and forced him to think about some questions he had never thought of.

When following Lieutenant Colonel Ren Yijiang to board the off-road vehicle, Sibo solemnly said to Su Hao: "You saved me, I owe you a favor."

Su Hao shook his head with his usual relaxed smile: "If there is a chance, we will meet." ”

Academy of Sciences, Office of the President.

Wang Qinian stared at the big screen on the wall, holding the remote control in his hand, and kept pressing the stop, playback, and fast-forward buttons.

Nightshade was still standing with his hands behind his back, silently staring at the screen.

At eight o'clock last night, Xu Renjie passed over the battle record of the CR squad from the 71st Group Army.

Excluding the auto-lapse at the beginning and end, the entire video is about an hour long.

The monitors on the airship recorded the entire battle, including the part where Liu Han and Su Xiao drove a police car to lure mutant creatures.

"Su Hao, this guy is simply a madman. But it's no wonder that only a madman has such stupid henchmen. Hell yes, where is this army? It's just a bunch of idiots who haven't even touched a gun. The guys' shooting level is terrible, and the miss rate is as high as 20 percent. How can such a wasted combatant be an officer? ”

The old fat man still maintains an ugly stinky mouth style. Cold-as-a-knife sarcasm has become part of his daily routine. If you don't scold a few words every day, it's as uncomfortable as an onset of drug addiction.

Nightshade has changed into a thin summer uniform. She maintained a standard military posture, ignoring Wang Qinian's nagging foul language.

She stood silently, quietly watching the images flying across the screen, her gaze full of cold and mechanical, but faintly emanating extremely subtle, imperceptible mood swings.

Nightshade has the pride and coldness of women. Because of her own strength and height, she rarely pretends to be a color to others, even if it is superficially polite. This kind of maverick personality is destined to make Night Shadow have no friends, and it is difficult to have someone who can really talk.

Because of this, although the establishment of Night Shadow is subordinate to the Military Security Bureau, it has always stayed by Wang Qinian's side.

The cold and unchanging appearance hides the surprise and shock of the heart.

Nightshade has seen all the battle footage of the military headquarters since the outbreak of the virus. Whether it is a large-scale battle in a city on the eastern seaboard or a model attack by the "Dragon's Tooth" special operations force, there is no case that can be compared with the video in front of you.

Su Hao's plan to lure the enemy into an ambush was drawn neatly and neatly, without dragging the mud and water.

The use of blasted buildings to reconstruct the terrain is extremely ingenious, and the angle of collapse is also very particular. Scattered rubble didn't fill the road, but left a narrow space for mutated creatures to pass through, plus abandoned vehicles that had been placed on the street in advance...... Bloody corpses and humanoids are unable to accelerate in twists and turns. They can only find their way out of the prescribed terrain according to a fixed pattern.

This is equivalent to directing the raging flood water into the ditch to divert the impact of the water. Destructive floods are limited by the topography and can only be converted into trickles.

For mutated creatures that are blind and lonely, a single burst can solve them, and there is no need for ferocious strafing at all.

Looking at the rat-man on the screen who was shot in the chest, his shoulder was blown off, and he fell to the ground screaming and convulsing, Night Shadow suddenly said coldly: "He did a good job." ”

Wang Qinian immediately turned his head, and his small black eyes flashed with surprise and surprise.

"Tut-tut, apart from me, it's the first time you've praised another man in such a tone."

The old fat man's words sounded a little sour.

Night Shadow looked at him coldly and condescendingly, and said indifferently, "Su Hao's plan is very ingenious. He calculates every possible scenario. Except for the frontal direction, the rest of the passages were sealed. The criss-crossing urban terrain was transformed into a single-in, single-out. Those mutated creatures have only one path to choose from. In this case, even if the number of mutated creatures entering the ambush circle increases by another fifty percent, the CR team can still deal with it calmly. ”

"yes, yes, yes, I should have changed my career to be a general, not some goddamn dean."

Wang Qinian pursed his lips stupidly, turned around with a grumbling, picked his nostrils with his little thumb very unsightly, and muttered vaguely: "First silver bones, then spars, the treasures on these monsters are really endless." Spar...... Well, by the way, have the results of the L16 group's research come out? They started testing the energy response of the hedron last week, but why haven't they submitted a report? ”

Nightshade pulls a document from her briefcase and hands it over.

"The L16 team's research progress is only 65 percent. They applied for more experimental materials. According to the current research, the energy reaction of the spar is equivalent to the function of electricity or oil, and the efficiency increase is more than 17 times that of similar substances, but the consumption rate is only 0.25%. ”

Wang Qinian quickly swept over the data listed on the document, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and the depths of his pupils released a light of shock and ecstasy.

"And so it was. The contact information sent back by those guys is indeed true. First it was defense, then energy, then offense. This is a complex and coherent evolutionary process. ”
