lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
Today's morning was so soft and dazzling for the Wuxiang soldiers who had been fighting for a night in blood.
Although it is winter, the slight warmth contained in the morning light makes all soldiers who feel the temperature release their last bit of strength and enjoy the peace of this moment.
The neat barracks ground in the past is now covered with blood, red, black, and white.
These unusually sticky things have been fermented overnight, and now they have become hard piece after piece. It is disgusting to step on it.
"This ingredient is weird. Collect it quickly and start the test after I return to the laboratory." The mature woman with black glasses is an outlier in this military camp. When all the soldiers are tired and don't want to move, this is the only People stay up all night and are still very energetic.
A group of white lab coats went up to collect various samples, mainly the blood of the living dead and the internal organs of mutant beasts.
In an airtight glass container, there is even a dead body with no lower body, only half of the shoulder, neck, and head, but still full of vitality and wanting to bite.
There are gunpowder and flames everywhere, and the remnants of the battlefield last night have not been cleaned up yet.
The light and heavy machine guns in the distance are still roaring. Their target is not the living dead and mutant beasts, but the threat from the sky.
The **** Wuxiang military camp has attracted a large group of bloodthirsty mutant birds to come here to fight the autumn breeze.
Ai can form a crushing posture against the mutant beasts on the ground, but there is nothing good about the birds in the sky, and she can't fly.
However, it is precisely because of the hellfire giant Ai here, and the huge biological power there, that this group of mutant birds waiting for an opportunity dare not be too public.
It's hard for the exhausted soldiers to sleep so sweetly in the rumble of guns.
Among them, many low-level officers have not slept yet.
Wang Jun is a squad leader, he used to be.
He is now the acting platoon leader, because yesterday, after his platoon leader became the living dead, he was the first to react, subdue and cut off the living dead's head.
So the company commander was optimistic about him and made him the acting platoon commander.
Promotion and wealth is the dream in every soldier's heart, but Wang Jun, who has just completed his dream, has no joy or excitement in his heart.
There are eight people in his class, one squad leader, one deputy squad leader, and six big soldiers. They are all brothers who sleep in a dormitory.
In the battle last night, only he and two other soldiers survived the negative energy storm, and the only ones who survived the **** battle overnight were him and a twenty-something guy named Erliu.
The name'Erliouzi' was given to this kid by Wang Jun and his brothers, because this guy is always lazy in training, every time he is late for morning exercises and evening exercises, he can’t change it no matter what Wang Jun does. .
After this battle, the second-rate son became his last brother.
Wang Jun could not forget the scene where Erliuzi picked up a light machine gun to cover himself last night, nor could he forget his other brother Zhao Han was bitten to death by the living dead, Erliuzi picked up the grenade and rushed to avenge him.
Went behind a pitted fortification. Many soldiers slumped and rested here. Many dead bodies on the ground did not have time to clean up, and no one cared, because the dead were their comrades-in-arms.
In a hollow crater, Wang Jun found Erliuzi.
Er Liuzi is sleeping with a ‘person’.
Taking a second-liuzi, Wang Jun handed him a piece of dough. The camp had just begun to distribute food, and Wang Jun took the first two pancakes as the acting platoon leader.
"Squad leader, I don't want to eat yet, Zhao Han said he is cold." Er Liuzi said.
Wang Jun glanced at the corpse that Erliu was holding, tears could not stop flowing from the tough guy’s eyes. Zhao Han is another brother in their class who survived the negative energy storm. However, if the military cap is removed, you can Seeing that a large piece of flesh and blood from the back of his head to the cervical spine was bitten away.
Usually the best relationship with Erliuzi is Zhao Han, because only Zhao Han did not look down on Erliuzi for being lazy, and only Zhao Han used Erliuzi as his brother.
"Don't talk nonsense! Give it to Lao Tzu! After eating, I went to recognize the clothes with Lao Tzu. Qian Liu, Zhou Wu and the others became the living dead. They were also our brothers during their lives. We can't let them die and be quiet!" Wang Jun scolded A second-rate sentence.
When Er Liuzi heard that, he put down Zhao Han's body, sat up and silently took Wang Jun's dough and stuffed it into his mouth.
The living dead after the human mutation have undergone tremendous changes compared to their appearance before alive, and the characteristics of having to cut off their heads to die have left all the dead bodies in the barracks in a dilapidated state.
Wang Jun does not expect to retrieve the remains of the brothers, just pull out their number and name badges from the pile of corpses, and then go outside the camp with Erliuzi and dig a burial mound for them.
In China, the dead pay attention to peace in the land.
In the entire barracks, there are many surviving soldiers like Wang Jun and Erliuzi. The fierce battle overnight made all of them have a big rock in their hearts.
"How is the situation statistics?" In the headquarters, Commander Ma asked the two staff officers standing in front of him.
"There were 5327 people in the brigade, and the number of people who survived today is 1265, of which 362 were seriously injured and 589 slightly injured." A staff officer said.
"The loss of ammunition materials is serious. In addition to consuming one-third of the spare warehouse under the command, the biggest loss is the No. 2 and No. 3 ammunition detonated during the battle." Another staff officer reported.
"There are only more than one thousand two hundred people left..." Ma Sling murmured, and then he said, "There are enough medicines, and I want to rescue all the injured. !"
A staff officer was embarrassed, but still truthfully reported, "Our medicines are more than the ammunition lost. Now only the headquarters has a little spare. If you want to have enough medicines, you have to go to Wuxiang to get them. There is a town hospital and several small clinics, which should be in stock."
"Wuxiang." Ma Sling looked in Wuxiang's direction. Locke has been there for a night, and I don't know what's going on with him.
"Let the soldiers who still have the strength of World War I regain their strength as soon as possible. This is not safe. We need to build more reliable fortifications." Ma commanded.
"Yes!" One of the two staff officers stood at attention, then turned around and gave instructions down.
The two had just left, and someone came in from outside. This time they are talents in scientific research and technology.
In the Wuxiang Military Camp, besides the soldiers in their early 1,000s, there are more than 20 scientific researchers and the 30 or so members of the Maoshan faction.
"How is the cracking work done?" Ma Sling asked impatiently.
The man shook his head and said, "It's still a day, but we have restored radio transmission technology."
Ma Commander nodded. Now that the satellite is scrapped, the wires and cables in various places have been damaged to varying degrees by the living dead and mutant beasts. The only means of communication is the radio.
"How far is the radiation range of the radio?" Ma Sling asked.
"Because of the interference of unknown factors carried by cosmic rays, the radiation range has been reduced by nearly 20 times. Now we can only guarantee our signal within 10 kilometers."
"Is there a way to increase the radius of use?" The 10-km radio is less than a tenth of the distance from the nearest military base in Wuxiang.
The scientific researcher paused and said, "There are two ways, one is to lay out the signal antenna, and the other is to increase the radio frequency, but the latter will increase our power consumption"
When Ma Sling heard this, he was extremely disappointed with both methods.
What's going on outside now, Ma Sling doesn't need to think about how bad it looks like, and now he can't take care of himself, there is no extra force to send out to lay the signal tower antenna.
Electricity consumption is even more of an issue. Now all military camps use backup power sources. How to generate electricity is the most urgent emergency that Ma Sling needs to consider.
"One more thing." The scientific researcher said, "Ten minutes ago, our radio station received intermittent requests for help. It is suspected that it is Commander Zhao."
The scientific researchers said this in a very low voice, and their brains for playing science and technology are not bad. Naturally, they know more about the fighting tactics of the two in the army than ordinary big soldiers.
"Where are they?" Masling said with a tone of voice before asking.
"Just three kilometers away, they have about three hundred people left, mainly armed police, police, firefighters and soldiers. They carry some citizens, but they are now surrounded by a group of living dead and mutant beasts." The officer said.
This is what seems to be Commander Zhao. With such detailed personnel allocation and facing the status quo, the following departments must have understood the situation clearly and ran to tell Commander Ma.
This ‘suspected’ sentence is for Commander Ma. Let’s put aside the personal grievances of the two commanders. Whether their Wuxiang military camp has the ability to rescue their troops is unknown.
Even the gang of technicians in the intelligence department don't want to be nosy. If the soldiers sent out don't come back and lose this usable army, they will not be far from extinction.
In the face of life safety, everyone is selfish.
"Armed police, police..." Commander Ma muttered. He is not as short-sighted as this scientific researcher. What he values is these new forces.
Now that the whole Wuxiang has gone through a night of battle, Commander Ma, as the highest leader of the army, is completely confident that this team has been in his hands, and it is difficult for Commander Zhao to take the lead.
So now Commander Zhao is late, and Ma Commander is not worried that his old opponent will fight for power with him.
Let’s not talk about whether Commander Zhao can win this group of soldiers from Commander Ma, as far as Commander Ma’s character and methods are concerned, he will not allow Commander Zhao to make small moves there.
When Commander Ma was still thinking about whether to rescue Commander Zhao and the others, Locke on the other side had already returned to the Wuxiang military camp.
As soon as Locke, who was floating in the air, descended, a dedicated soldier came to report to Commander Ma.
