Section 3 Military Discussion ()

Two contradictory psychology were circling and entangled in Lin Xiang's mind.

He knew very well: once he said that he was scratched, he would only end up with the same fate as the dead soldiers. Although he had just saved these people's lives, they were grateful to him. However, when facing a life-and-death choice, there was no ruthless face between the soldiers.

Lin Xiang didn't want to die. He was even more unwilling to be regarded as a monster and tied up as a test piece.

He decided to hide his wound. Perhaps... a small scratch was not enough to allow the virus to completely occupy his entire body...

The convoy was moving very fast. Half an hour later, there was no city-wide building on the horizon behind him. Just as the assault vehicle turned down from the folding entrance of the expressway and rushed to a nearby flat hillside, a double-rotor heavy vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft also appeared in front of everyone.

This is the exclusive vehicle of the Sixty-Four Mobile Forces and the only way they rely on to leave this place.

Sitting in the soft cabin, the huge roar of the plane engine seemed to have irresistible magic for Lin Xiang, who had not closed his eyes for a few days. He wanted to cheer up and stay awake. However, a few minutes later, he, who was already exhausted, leaned against his seat and fell asleep in a daze under the urging of his heavy eyelids...

When the plane landed at Chengdu Military Airport, Lin Xiang, who was exhausted, still had not woken up. The snoring sounds made between his mouth and nose clearly showed how sweet he was sleeping.

"Perform gently. Send him to the field hospital to have a good rest. By the way, notify the hospital and give him the best special care--"

Looking at Lin Xiang who was carried onto a stretcher by the medical staff, the colonel finally breathed a sigh of relief. He liked this young man very much. Although there were too many things to do at the moment, the most important thing was to restore his strength first.

Chengdu Military Region of the Republic, the 21st Army Command.

Generally speaking, older people will be affected by menopause to a greater or lesser extent. However, Meng Zongxiang does not think so. Although he is over 50 years old, thanks to the good foundation laid in the army in his early years, his physique is not inferior to any young man. In this regard, even the guards around him sincerely admire the lieutenant general whom he guards.

Sitting in the wide combat room, looking at the dozen senior staff officers sitting around the curved conference table, Meng Zongxiang, as the supreme commander of the group army, felt an indescribable irritability. For two weeks, the 75th Infantry Division sent to Kunming had not sent any news. Although the staff officers made various speculations about this, no one would believe that a full Class B combat division would be wiped out.

A few hours ago, when Colonel Qi Yue of the Sixty-four Mobile Force sent back the latest information about the troops, Meng Zongxiang suddenly realized that this crisis that broke out in Kunming was not as simple as he imagined.

"Can you confirm the accuracy of the source of the information? Will there be any errors?" Meng Zongxiang, who had just walked into the war room and was covered in blood, asked tentatively with the last little expectation in his heart.

"I have set up a high-power signal receiver in the area. So far, I have not received any relevant distress signals. The military supply stations along Kunming City have been empty. All signs indicate that all the 75th Infantry Division have been killed."

These words completely cut off all hopes of the people present. A brief silence also appeared in the conference hall. Although Guanzhi told them: what he had just heard was true. But from the perspective of their actual feelings, it is difficult to believe and admit what has happened.

"So, all the news from the American Parliament is fake?"

A staff officer who identified the sign with a chest registration general couldn't help but say: "The epidemic report they sent showed that this was just a large-scale bacterial infection. Although the virus carried by the infected body would pose a certain threat to the residents of the area. But that was within the control range. It was precisely because of this that we sent the 75th Division to evacuate all residents in Kunming City. But... why did the situation suddenly become what it is now?"

"The actual situation is much more serious than we thought." Qi Yue dusted the dirt next to his colonel's seal and took out a small information recorder from the information bag beside him: "You will understand some things after you have seen them yourself."

The image projected onto the large screen using the expander was the scene where the assault team rushed out of the city. Looking at the scene of flesh and blood flying, all the viewers' eyes showed great surprise and shock. Especially the mutant body was shot several times but was not bad at all. This made the officers present feel unbelievable.

"They... they won't die?" A major general shook his head and shouted in surprise: "How is this... this?"

"These infected bodies are not immortal." Qi Yue had a gloomy face and strode forward to point to the freeze-framed picture on the screen: as long as they attack their heads and hearts, these guys will die."

"But their single combat capabilities are really amazing." The major general stared at the screen with his eyes tightly and frowned: "With the combat power of the assault team, there were casualties when they had an absolute advantage in numbers... It seems that the development of the situation has far exceeded our expectations."

"It's not expected, but it's difficult to control." Qi Yue smiled bitterly, while switching the screen scene to the scene where the dead soldiers were resurrected again: "The viruses parasitized in their bodies have extremely terrible reproductive ability. As long as humans killed or bitten by them will transform into new mutated creatures in a short time. I think this is the most fundamental reason why the 75th Division was wiped out. Without the public's knowledge and irresistible, a mutant is enough to turn the entire city into a hell of death. You know... the permanent population in Kunming is as many as six million!"

The conference room was silent. Apart from the "rustling" sound made by the player, there was no sound anymore. Even people's normal breathing seemed to be pinching their mouths and noses by invisible big hands, and they had to be forced to hold them away.

"Six...six million!"

The major general opened his mouth and murmured in a trembling tone: "You mean, there are as many as six million of such terrible creatures?"

"This is just a relatively general number."

The colonel opened the buttons on the collar of the combat uniform and took a deep breath: "After all, there is no one in Kunming City. These monsters will gradually spread to surrounding cities. I'm afraid... the actual number of variants generated is far more than we imagined..."

"Copy all the information immediately and forward it to the State Council and the General Office of the Military Commission, as well as the military scientific research institutions."

Meng Zongxiang, who was sitting at the top of the conference table, suddenly stood up and said loudly in an unquestionable tone: "In addition, the highest-level warning will be issued in all cities around Chengdu. Police and security personnel will be ordered to start evacuating citizens in accordance with the emergency plan. All troops under the group army will enter the combat state on the spot. From now on, all cities within the jurisdiction of the military will be under military control."

This was simply a bolt from the blue. All the participants could hardly say a word except for shock and shock.

Implementing military control without authorization from the Military Commission is no different from taking the initiative to intensify rebellion.

"The situation is critical and I don't care about that much." Meng Zongxiang looked around with a blue face and majestic look around: "If you don't prepare for defense before these monsters, then the ending of Chengdu will only become an eternal dead city like Kunming. I believe that the Supreme Military Commission will ask us to respond the same way after receiving the detailed information text."

"I have a request-"

Suddenly, Qi Yue, who was sitting aside, spoke: "The sixty-four mobile troops suffered casualties in Kunming City. I want to select suitable personnel from the existing soldiers to make up for this vacancy."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Meng Zongxiang raised his eyebrows: "Who do you like?"

"It is the soldier who with us evacuated from Kunming City, the only survivor of the 75th Infantry Division - Lin Xiang."

The Colonel did not hide his intentions: "His personal comprehensive strength is very strong. He fully meets the standards of membership of the mobile force."

"He is just a private. The minimum rank selected for the mobile unit is at least a lieutenant. This seems a bit inappropriate, right?" A brigade general staff officer obviously did not agree.

"The military rank is not enough, so you can be promoted."

Qi Yue didn't take this problem seriously at all: "It's already a pretty good military achievement just for him to fight out of the city alone and rescue the assault team. It's not an exaggeration to give him a warrant officer rank."

"Order Lin Xiang, the 6th Battalion of the 75th Infantry Division, under the jurisdiction of the 16th Combat Team, was promoted to the rank of at least the lieutenant due to his outstanding military achievements. He was awarded the first-class military medal. From now on, he will be transferred to the jurisdiction of the 64th Mobile Force."

Lieutenant General Meng Zongxiang's words made the objectors shut their mouths: "Extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times. As the only returning member of the 75th Division, this soldier is indeed qualified to receive his special honor."

The wards of field hospitals are often filled with the choking smell of disinfectants. However, when Lin Xiang woke up, the first thing he threw into his nose was a quiet and elegant fragrance.

It was the fragrance of a handful of light yellow daisies placed on the bedside. An army-green enamel teapot filled with water, and the wild flowers that had just been picked were inserted into it, showing a bit of tranquility and tranquility.

"You're awake?"

With a sound like silver-ling, a young nurse with white skin, light body, clear eyes like clean water, and a smiling face from the empty door.

"...What a beautiful girl!" For some reason, Lin Xiang subconsciously thought came to Lin Xiang's mind.

"You can really sleep. It's been two days since you were lying there and you haven't even turned over." The girl seemed to like to laugh. She stretched out her soft little hand, gently pressed the pause button of the physiological recorder in front of the bed, tear off the electrocardiogram record and put it in the medical record card. She turned around and smiled sweetly at him: "Are you hungry? Want to eat something? I'll go to the cafeteria to help you. The hospital leader explained that you are a hero and you must give you the best care..."

During these days in the field hospital, Lin Xiang's mood was always entangled between happiness and worry.

What he had been worried about still didn't happen. The wound under his shoulder and neck did not seem to have continued to deteriorate. On the contrary, the broken muscle had healed. Even the skin on the surface was tightly closed. If it weren't for the light brown scar left on the surface, at first glance, no one would have thought: this was a terrible trauma that was fatal.

The whole body is normal. There is no sign of mutation on the upper and lower parts of the left arm. The skin has not turned dark, the muscles have not hardened, and there has not been a sharp and terrifying blade. Everything that has happened before seems to be just a terrifying but not a reality.

However, Lin Xiang's mood did not change much. Every time before going to bed at night, he was afraid that when he suddenly woke up, he still could not escape the fate of the mutant... So many people died and turned into inhuman monsters. What about me? Is it really an exception?

Only during the day can he truly feel comfortable and happy. This happiness comes from another person.

A girl who loves to laugh has a very nice name - Ying Jia.

Strictly speaking, Ying Jia is not actually a real nurse. She is just a student who is still studying at Sichuan Medical University and has not graduated yet. The reason she wears that white nurse uniform is because of the internship. Two months later, she still has to return to school to continue her unfinished last study.

This is a very lively and beautiful girl. Every day, Ying Jia will bring a handful of newly picked flowers to the teapot in front of the hospital bed. In return, Lin Xiang will also tell her everything she has experienced as a story. From growing up in an orphanage to getting into college, graduating, joining the army... Ying Jia listens to everything with relish. Especially whenever he is nervous, his eyes that are constantly flashing will always show an innocence and purity of sincere eyes.

Lin Xiang likes Ying Jia very much. Whenever he gets an injection, he always feels that it is the happiest moment. When those slightly cool white and tender hands gently pierce the needle into the blood vessels on his wrist, Lin Xiang always prays silently: Can time end at this moment and stop...

He really wanted to confess his thoughts to the girl, but he didn't dare. Everything that happened in Kunming is still vivid in my mind. Lin Xiang really didn't know whether he was a normal person or a mutant that had been infected by the virus? After all, his temporary health is not good, which does not represent the future. Who can guarantee that one day when he holds the girl he likes, he suddenly becomes a monster that chews the other person's head alive?
