Chen Yu parted the crowd and squeezed into the front row.

"The base has been targeted, and Commander Zheng should prepare for battle as soon as possible."

The staff officer pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "Aren't you talking nonsense, fools know this." ”

"Then let's talk about something you don't know, these thousands of homeless people gathered outside the forward base at the same time, doesn't Captain Zheng think it's strange?"

The staff officer was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood, and looked at Chen Yu with wide eyes, "How dare you scold me!" ”

Zheng Xiao waved his hand and glared at the staff officer, "Shut up, it's better to use your brain more if you have a quarrel." ”

immediately looked at Chen Yu, "Do you know the reason?" ”

In fact, he also thought it was too unusual.

Although the location of the forward base is not secret, it is by no means known to passers-by, and they usually don't see a homeless person who accidentally intrudes here in a few months.

And today, so many displaced people have gathered here, no matter how you look at it, it looks like someone is deliberately guiding.

It's just that who has the energy to do this?

What is the purpose of that man?

It was precisely because he couldn't figure this out that he didn't make a deal about it.

Chen Yu nodded, "To tell you the truth, we were attacked by infected people on the way here. ”

"Hey, it's not dead, those infected are really waste." The staff officer scoffed.

"It's not just me, I think everyone here has been attacked by mutated creatures!" Chen Yu ignored him and continued.

Zheng Xiaozhan looked over and saw that many homeless people showed frightened expressions. No need to verify it anymore, he had already got the answer from the expressions of the homeless.

"So, what the hell are you trying to say?" The staff officer asked.

Isn't the answer obvious? Do you think these unarmed people have what it takes to escape the pursuit of mutant creatures? You're very capable, why don't you try it? ”

Chen Yu glanced at the staff officer, with an expression of reluctance to talk to a fool.

The staff officer was instantly enraged, "According to you, will you survive because of the mercy of the mutated creatures, or have you all been polluted or controlled?" Hmph, I can't let you into the base even more! ”

Chen Yu looked at Zheng Xiao, "Is Head Zheng still recruiting?" This kind of IQ can also be an officer, and I think I can also be a major. ”

"You ......" The staff officer couldn't bear it anymore in an instant, and was about to step forward, but suddenly heard Zheng Xiao shout angrily, "Enough, isn't it shameful enough?" From now on, you are not allowed to speak without my consent. ”

The staff officer could only reluctantly step aside.

Zheng Xiao frowned and looked at Chen Yu, "Go on." ”

"Didn't you already guess," Chen Yu shrugged, "The mutated creatures around here are consciously driving the homeless people to gather here. ”

"It's impossible, mutated creatures can't have this kind of intelligence." The staff officer still couldn't help but retort.

This time, Zheng Xiao ignored the staff officer's disobedience, but looked thoughtful, and said in a deep voice, "Wisdom body!" ”

After fighting mutant creatures for many years, Zheng Xiao knows the strengths and weaknesses of those monsters very well. They are individually capable, but they do not have a high IQ and tend to act alone. With the superiority of firepower and numbers, it is not difficult for humans to clean up.

Now that Chen Yu has subverted their inherent cognition in a few words, it is no wonder that the staff officers find it unbelievable.

However, logic is used to eliminate all impossibilities, leaving the answer that seems the most improbable, but the closest to the truth.

Zheng Xiao reasoned along Chen Yu's train of thought.

"There is an intelligent body nearby that can uniformly dispatch all mutated biological populations, and they chase but do not kill, consciously driving the homeless people here in preparation for the impact on the advance base.

If the base accepts displaced people, the energy will be dispersed, and the base's food reserves may also be greatly depleted. Once the battle is stalemate, these displaced people will become a factor of instability, and even cause a large-scale rout of the defensive line; But if they don't accept it, the homeless people may be driven to use cannon fodder to storm the defense line, draining the base's firepower and the fighting spirit of the soldiers. ”

Like seeing the sun through the clouds, under Chen Yu's reminder, Zheng Xiao figured it all out.

But instead of feeling relaxed, he felt that the current situation was even more difficult.

The hand in the dark was in the camp step by step, and this trick forced him to the point of a dilemma.

An officer said worriedly:

"Not only that, but even if the base blocks the attack of the mutant creatures, we will most likely be court-martialed afterwards.

Thousands of civilian casualties, the impact is too great. Even if the military department understands our suffering, it will have to deal with it because of public opinion. I even suspect that everything that is currently happening here has been revealed to the safe city by the people who laid it out through secret channels! ”

His words undoubtedly cast a shadow in the hearts of the officers.

They subconsciously looked at Zheng Xiao and waited for his decision.

Zheng Xiao is also very entangled, the choice is extremely difficult, and no matter what choice is made, the result is only the difference between bad and worse.

For some reason, he really wanted to hear the opinion of Chen Yu, who pointed out all this, so he asked, "What can you do?" ”

"Push the boat down the river and strike back." Chen Yu replied.

"Commander Zheng provided us with weapons and asked us to build a defensive line on the perimeter of the base."

An officer's eyes lit up, "Wonderful! This trick will work, and it will be explained to the displaced people, the military department, and the public opinion of the security city. ”

The staff officer questioned, "But weapons and food will cause a lot of consumption, and we ......."

Zheng Xiao shook his head, "We still have a batch of discarded weapons that we haven't had time to destroy, which can be provided to these homeless people." As for the grain...... It doesn't consume much. By the evening at the latest, the first wave of enemy attacks will arrive. ”

He no longer hesitated, "Just do it, I will bear all the consequences, everyone, immediately enter a state of combat readiness." Provide the displaced with weapons and sapper shovels, and send a few veterans to direct them to dig fortifications and build a perimeter defense line on the spot......"

He gave several orders in a row, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Chen Yu, "Your information is very valuable, within the scope of your ability, I can promise you a request." ”

"Thank you," Chen Yu said sincerely, "My sister is still young, and she doesn't have much strength, so she can't help much." Please let her enter the base alone! ”

Zheng Xiao glanced at it and saw that it was just an eight or nine-year-old girl, and letting her in would not cause much reaction from the homeless, so he nodded in agreement.

"Chen Yu, I'm not leaving, you said you won't be separated from me again."

Hearing that Chen Yu was going to send himself to the base, he himself was left alone on the periphery of danger. It seemed as if the fear he had experienced in Blackstone was about to repeat himself, and July clutched Chen Yu's hand tightly, wanting to reject Chen Yu's decision.

"Your stay here will only distract me," Chen Yu rubbed Qiyue's head and said softly, "Be obedient, you know my ability, if you can't stop here, I will find a chance to go in and join you." ”

Soon, several trucks drove out of the depths of the base, and several people who wanted to get into the base at the moment when the gate opened, were immediately mercilessly shot by the soldiers in the rear.

Chen Yu looked at all this and shook his head helplessly.

Even if it crosses the perimeter of barbed wire, it is not safe, and the real line of defense of the base is a nearly 4-meter-high fortification made of concrete 150 meters away, where there are densely placed fire points composed of artillery, heavy machine guns, rapid-fire close defense guns, etc.

The 150-meter-wide annular open area between the barbed wire and the concrete barrier has an excellent shooting field, whether it is a mutated creature or a homeless person who breaks through the barbed wire cordon, without exception it will be torn apart by the fire of the rear garrison.

The garrison will not let the exiles approach the defensive line.

An ensign looked at the eager crowd and said in a cold voice, "Line up and get your weapons." Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's too late to leave. Once the weapons provided by us are accepted, they will be treated as a temporary sign of military service and will be administered by default in accordance with the wartime system. ”

"Whoever disobeys military orders, kill!"

"Disturb the morale of the army, kill!"

"Fearful cowards, kill!"

“……”

The lieutenant's rough and indifferent voice sounded on the periphery of the base, like a solemn autumn wind, which made people shudder.

No one doubted that his words were a bluff, and the temperature of the corpses of those few people who had defied the law had not yet cooled.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, many people understood that these weapons were very hot, and once they held them, they would volunteer to become cannon fodder to guard the base.

Some people left one after another, and everyone heard the conversation between the head of the regiment and Chen Yu, a battle was about to break out here, but the base would not let them in, and if they continued to stay here, they would only be used as cannon fodder.

But there are still nearly 3,000 people left. They have figured out that even if they are used as cannon fodder, this is the safest place nearby. Those soldiers won't give up on this place easily.

Two hours later, the people who remained were all given weapons, whether they were pistols, submachine guns, or semi-automatic rifles, of different types and models, but most of them were only fifty or six percent new, and each person was allocated a magazine of ammunition.

The second lieutenant briefly demonstrated the operation skills of various firearms, and regardless of whether the homeless people had learned it or not, he left some people on guard, and then instructed the homeless people to dig the fortifications with sapper shovels.

The second lieutenant didn't say what to do when the bullets ran out, and when someone asked, he pretended not to hear.

In fact, he had already determined that once the mutant creatures attacked, these homeless people without any military training would flee without a few shots, or be killed by the mutants, or be torn apart by the dense fire behind them.

Of course, before he started work, he handed out a bag of compressed biscuits to each homeless person.

This has calmed down the homeless, who are already starving and fainting.

As soon as the assignment was completed, the second lieutenant could not wait to return to the base with a dozen soldiers, and had no intention of supervising the work or inspecting the fortifications. Now, he has little hope.

Of course, before leaving, he took July into the base according to the order of Commander Zheng Xiao.

Sitting in the truck, holding a backpack that weighed half of her weight, and the bag contained all the food and water they had brought out, she looked back in Chen Yu's direction with tears in her eyes.

Chen Yu smiled and waved at her on the spot, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He missed the appointment again and left his sister alone in a strange place.

Although she is intelligent, she is a bit introverted and does not like to deal with strangers, and being in an unfamiliar environment will make her feel uneasy, and it will take a long time for her to get used to it.

But Chen Yu had no choice but to trust that July would be able to take care of himself.

At the moment, the only way to survive is to hide in a well-defended base, and the chances of survival will be greater. Only a child like her, who looks weak and harmless, can let the base commander open the net and let him enter the base.

When the last sunset was swallowed up by darkness, the displaced people were horrified to find that the mound of earth that had just been dug up around them suddenly collapsed, and the fine soil jumped like a flea, and then the earth trembled like an earthquake.

The shouts of the soldiers on the watchtower were like a terrible trumpet:

"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack! Everyone, fire, shoot! ”
