In the future world, Su Hao has attended many banquets and gatherings.

As a senior researcher at that time, he always received friendly expressions and smiles from most people. But for some reason, Su Hao always felt that those smiles only stayed on the surface of the skin, and even penetrated into the muscles, not to mention that they were from the heart.

The command post is a three-story building with a large area. The luxurious decoration style, oil paintings hanging on the walls, and lush plants inside and outside the house all show the power and identity of its original owner.

However, that was the past after all.

Now, this place is full of a strong military atmosphere——High-power signal transmitters are installed on the roof, and the garden has become a small power plant. The surrounding areas are set up as warning areas. Several infantry fighting vehicles patrol the nearby streets, and soldiers armed to their teeth can be seen everywhere.

Dozens of officers surrounded Su Hao and Liu Jiangyuan and walked into the restaurant together in an extremely warm atmosphere.

The main course is very simple, with only a pot of braised pork that is long and full of sea, mixed with potatoes and carrots cut into hobs. The red and yellow colors are very beautiful, but it greatly reduces the amount of meat. The pot of the meat is very large, and the sauce-colored sauce is almost overwhelming, making people feel that it is not a dish but a soup.

Next to the meat basin are four plates: shrimps, cabbage, stir-fried cucumber strips, stir-fried peppers with tomatoes, and fried peanuts.

The dishes are not exquisite, but they are better because they are sufficient and have a clear military food style.

Liu Jiangyuan greeted Su Hao and sat down beside him, picked up a bottle of "Red Star Erguotou" specially supplied by the army from the cardboard box under his feet, and forced off the bottle cap. He filled the military enamel tank in front of Su Hao with a few "gulp" sounds.

"Yu Gu————”

Su Hao rarely drinks alcohol and never drinks strong alcohol above 15 degrees. This is his habit since the future world. He has recorded several times of being anesthetized by alcohol. He felt very uncomfortable, his speech and thinking were completely uncontrollable, and his whole body was transparent, and it was easy to reveal the secrets deep in his heart.

Now, whether to drink or not can't help him.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Su Hao picked up the cup and drank the liquid inside.

Of course he didn't want to get drunk, but he just had enough confidence in the black particles in his body.

Drinking high-concentration strong alcohol in the mouth is very spicy, as if a stream of liquid fire flows down the throat. Then, an extremely strong sense of vomiting was churned out from the stomach bag, which was sore and nausea. The whole person felt like he was burned by invisible flames, irritating his eyes and causing pain, nostrils, and his brain was dizzy and trying hard to drive away his reason.

The strong vertigo effect lasted less than five seconds, and the discomfort symptoms quickly became awake. Su Hao's eyes, which had just begun to be congested, returned to brightening, and the smell of alcohol sprayed from his nostrils and mouth became indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

This means that the alcohol that has just entered the body is completely decomposed. It sounds very magical, but for the black particles that occupy the dominance of cells, it is just a potential defense mechanism. They differentiate alcohol in a short period of time, collect useful ingredients, discard impurities, and quickly convert it into urine and sweat. The former enters the bladder for storage, while the latter is excreted from the body by the sweat glands.

A muscular colonel came to toast with a cup, but Su Hao naturally couldn't refuse, so he filled the teapot again and drank it all.

"I was surprised by your alcohol tolerance."

When Su Hao sat down, Liu Jiangyuan had unscrewed the lid of another bottle of white wine and said in a tone with a marvelous ingredient: "You don't blush, you don't pant. I feel that drinking is no different from drinking water. Hell, I should have met you earlier. I like to deal with people who drink without making trouble."

A bright light shook in Su Hao's eyes: "It's not too late now."

While pouring wine for him, Liu Jiangyuan shook his head: "It's different now than before. Food and supplies are available in limited quantities, and wine is no exception. There are not many times when we can have dinner together like this. Look, these wines are the quota we have saved for two years. If it weren't for the fact that the battle was so exciting today, I'm afraid it would have to be put on for a while, and no one would be willing to drink it."

Su Hao looked at Liu Jiangyuan, nodded silently, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

The meat was cut very big, the chef's skills were also good, the sauce was fresh and thick, fat but not greasy, which immediately raised Su Hao's appetite.

"We are still lucky compared to those who have died."

Su Hao held the bowl and pulled out a large mouthful of rice with the gravy, and said slowly and vaguely: "At least we still have meat to eat now, and it tastes good."

Liu Jiangyuan seemed not too hungry. He put down his chopsticks and lit a cigarette: "We can't take care of everyone, we can only give priority to the supply of the troops. Even if those who survived were not infected and turned into zombies, they had to face hunger, disease, and cold... I don't think this is a kind of happiness, but more like torture."

Su Hao did not comment on these words.

He has seen too many misery and disasters. No matter what way he evaluates it, he feels it is not appropriate and unnecessary. After all, everyone's experience is not transparent, and their perceptions and understandings are also different.

Su Hao shifted the topic to the pork in the vegetable bowl. He picked up a piece of meat, looked at it for a few seconds, and said: "All mammals may become carriers of viruses. Livestock have stronger comprehensive immunity than humans, but they have no resistance to specific viruses. When I was wandering in the city before, I saw many infected animals. They are actually zombies of alternative shapes, no different from those monsters.

Liu Jiangyuan pushed the cigarette box and lighter at Su Hao, and kept nodding: "When the base was first built, the above had foreseeed this situation. According to the order issued at that time, the livestock farm built underground must be equipped with a high-temperature disinfection system, the entire space is isolated from the outside world, and feed is produced by relying on the internal circulation system and energy equipment of the building. We have encountered this situation you mentioned. At that time, more than 20 pigs set up on the ground for experimental observation all mutated. They grew fangs and attacked everything they could see.

“A livestock farm set up underground?”

Su Hao seemed to say casually: "The output must not be very large... Although artificial light sources and moisture can satisfy them, the space is limited after all. Raising livestock in the base is really luxurious. If these resources are used to produce food, they can feed more people."

"The construction scale of each base city is different and the production capacity is different. New Chengdu is a large base city and started planning and construction several years ago. Nanyang is different. When I took over, it was only one and a half years before the outbreak of the virus. Although the materials were sufficient, there was not enough manpower. There was no way, I could only risk leaking the secrets and recruited a large number of workers in the local area in the name of "developing real estate". For this reason, the military department specially sent people to review me. But the situation was like that at that time. No one would have come here, so these things were left out and I became more courageous. Yu Qiang managed the waste mining area in the name of the military, and in fact, it was to use mines and existing tunnels to develop a second base..."

Fighting and conversation brought each other closer together, and Liu Jiangyuan's attitude became kinder. He did not notice the hidden meaning of Su Hao's words at all, but just treated it as a kind of chat.

If it were in peacetime, these words would be like leaking secrets.

Now, the base city has become the place that refugees yearn for the most.

Su Hao nodded with emotion: "The design production capacity of the Nanyang base can only meet the needs of 500,000 people. Photosynthetic stratified liquid planting technology shortens the crop growth period and increases the output significantly, but there are always many inconveniences in setting up a farm underground. Moreover, there are various military workshops. At that time, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the consumption today would be so huge?"

The relevant data of each base city are recorded in future world computers, and they are almost semi-public and are no longer included in the confidentiality range.

"yes"

Liu Jiangyuan's face looked thoughtful: "Although many bases were built in advance, the materials produced still could not meet the population consumption. The virus storm forced us to give up the city and destroyed the framework of the entire society. We cannot help every refugee. If we want to avoid starving to death, they can only find a safe place to farm on their own."

Su Hao squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Jiangyuan, carefully searching for every trace of information that was revealed in his eyes.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Um?"

“I need a set of breeding and recycling equipment for military farms.”

Su Hao used chopsticks to pick the rice grains that had not been eaten yet in the bowl and said calmly: "I have been in an abandoned city. At that time, I had to go out to find food and water every day, and there were fewer and fewer foods to eat. Occasionally I caught a few mice, which was a good harvest."

Liu Jiangyuan turned his head and looked at Su Hao with a complicated look.

"Do you know what you are talking about? That kind of equipment is military supplies and cannot be open to civilians.

"I have also tried to plant a few acres of land. A few friends and I drove into the city's agricultural supplies company to find seeds, where there were many zombies. We had no guns, our weapons were just sticks and knives. Two people were bitten, they kept blocking the back, shouting desperately to let us leave. Their blood was soaked in the sacks of seeds, wet and heavy."

"The ban on the military headquarters is very strict. Food, weapons, and potions are all within the scope of control. You have to understand that this is not cold-blooded or iron-hearted. There are too many refugees, not thousands, but large-scale groups in units of "billions". Even if you do your best, you can only save a small number. But is this fair to others? There is only one chance to survive, but there are as many as hundreds of people to be given. Who should I give it to? Or use this as the focus of the contradiction and cause a new round of killing among them.

"The land outside the city is very fertile and the corn is growing well. I really realized the hard work. Just as the harvest was about to be achieved, a group of zombies destroyed hope. Overnight, we lost confidence in the future and survival. Some of us became decadent, some of our lives went crazy, and some jumped off the rooftops... Fortunately, some of my research was spotted by the Academy of Sciences, and the officers of the Urban Supervision Station recommended me to the base. Then, I could sit here and enjoy what many people dream of."

Su Hao and Liu Jiangyuan said their own words, without commenting or agreeing with each other, as if they didn't hear anything. The officers next to them talked much less, and their faces showed a look of thought.

After a moment of silence, Liu Jiangyuan pushed away the chair and stood up. He looked around and said to everyone in a calm tone: "Let's go here today and go back to their respective posts. Don't relax and slack just because we won a game. Pay attention to consolidating the position and sending additional patrol soldiers. The alert level remains at the highest level. A new combat plan will be released tomorrow to allow the boys to have a good sleep, but even if you close your eyes, you must remain awake enough."

The officers responded one after another, left their seats according to the order, picked up their military caps and coats, greeted Su Hao respectively, and walked towards the gate.

Soon, the bustling restaurant had become deserted, leaving only Liu Jiangyuan and Su Hao.

Liu Jiangyuan put away the cigarette lighter placed on the table and put on his military cap. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Hao, with a serious expression and a tense face, as if Su Hao was the prisoner standing in front of the judge waiting for trial.

"The ban from the military headquarters is not a joke. You shouldn't tell me this in front of so many people. Last week when you told me about this combat plan, I had already sent a telegram to the new Chengdu side. Commander Xu Renjie praised you very much in his reply. The telegram was sent with your personal profile and other related information. I understand your idea, but many things cannot be achieved by ideals alone. Here, you have shown enough value. A high-intensity battle with zero casualties but killing tens of thousands of mutant creatures is enough for the people in the military headquarters to look at you differently. I know you want to do something for people in the abandoned city, but it is not suitable now, it is really not suitable."

Su Hao's expression seemed to be a smile and he didn't say anything.

Liu Jiangyuan sorted out his collar and strode past him.

The moment the two people's shoulders intersected, a quick tone and a slight voice penetrated Su Hao's ears.

"Along Highway 45l to West Eleven, there is an abandoned gas station that has been converted into a temporary warehouse. There are two sets of equipment you want. The troops will be handed over at 3 pm tomorrow. Those things are not important materials on the allocation order, and you can use them for an hour and a half. Remember——I have never told you this, everything is your personal behavior."

The next day, the specified time.

As Liu Jiangyuan said, the soldiers guarding the warehouse left on time and the whole team headed to the south to the defensive position. Su Hao slowly entered the warehouse with a heavy container truck carrying empty containers on the excuse of collecting ammunition.

There, Su Hao found two sets of military farm energy circulation equipment. They were split into parts of varying sizes and placed next to various supplies piled up.

Everything went smoothly, and the officer on duty did not enter the warehouse to check from beginning to end. When Su Hao led the convoy out of the warehouse area, he just signed the time and name on the material allocation form, and ordered the soldiers to release the post.

Su Hao will draw Zhang Nanyi's squadron to be escorted. The truck will drive south along the expressway. At the third fork, they will meet the support staff sent by Lao Song. As for the subsequent matters, Su Hao doesn't have to worry about it.

The 11th Independent Force's position remains the same. In addition to setting up landmines as usual, the soldiers also had an additional task - searching for silver bone crystals from the pile of mutant creatures.

"What a very interesting person."

The test tube containing the worm black grid was inserted into Su Hao's inner bag. The fat worm also attended yesterday's dinner and knew exactly what had happened.

Su Hao stared at the soldiers walking back and forth in the pile of corpses not far away, and silently communicated consciousness with Hege.

"He knew he shouldn't do that, but he still provided information to the master. To put it in a bad way, this is called custody and stealing."

"There is no doubt that he will not do this to anyone for no reason. This should be a reward for the success of your battle plan to some extent. Haha, I wonder if I say this right?"

"He has a good impression of your master. Oh... I am definitely not referring to the physiological aspects of sexual behavior, but the senses and impression concepts."

The fat white bug kept chattering, and all kinds of unswerving praise filled Su Hao's brain. It analyzed Liu Jiangyuan's personality like a detective, searching for weaknesses, and the meticulousness and complexity even the veteran detective felt inferior.

Su Hao did not argue with Hege. He stood in the breeze and looked silently in the distance.

The farm energy circulation system is not a high-tech product. It is actually an integration of a series of indoor agricultural and animal husbandry technologies such as drip irrigation, artificial sunlight, ventilation, and liquid breeding. With Su Hao's ability, it can be produced using the mechanical equipment already occupied in Kunming. However, it is very rough after all, and requires time and resources.

According to the plan formulated when Su Hao left, Dong Guoping carried out a new round of transformation of the "castle". The purpose is to build the "castle" into a large refuge that is the same as the base city. The defense of surface buildings cannot be compared with the underground, and workshops and farms set up at the underground level will not attract attention. This is the experience of the future world and the goal that the "bee swarm" will achieve next.

Su Hao is certainly not as reckless as Liu Jiangyuan imagined. The reason why he said that in public is largely because of his search for computer files in the future world.

The soldiers are not cold-blooded. Although they have received brainwash training, they still have sympathy for civilians. According to incomplete records, almost all troops have incidents of helping civilians. Supporting items include food, medicine, oil, etc. Although the military has repeatedly prohibited such behavior, it has never punished anyone, let alone dismissal and closed down.
