Zhao Zhikai has been trying to control his emotions.

In his position, cunning has become the most basic conscious reaction. Zhao Zhikai can even control facial nerves and keep his muscles and skin in a cold and stereotyped expression. Because this is what the military chairman should look like.

Of course, Zhao Zhikai was not blind about Sun Zhan and other military commissioners' "split up" in the new division. He just turned a blind eye, neither wanted to reach out, nor intervened in to stop him.

There are enough things that bother him———The casualties rate in the eastern front remains high, the contradictions between civilians and the military are becoming increasingly intensified, the virus is mutating faster and faster, and it is necessary to reconcile the balance between all forces...

As one of the high-ranking powers, Zhao Zhikai was clear about the tricks that Yuan Zhicheng played on the issue of the new division. He did not want to stop it because if these new division numbers were changed to himself or Yuan Zhicheng alone, they would not be approved at the military meeting. Sun Zhan and other members wanted to obtain real power very crazy. They almost refused to oppose any proposal that was not good for them. If ten new divisions wanted to truly form combat power, they must get the approval of Sun Zhan and others. Of course, if these troops lost their constraints and fell completely under their control, Zhao Zhikai would also object at the beginning of the proposal.

The reason why he remained silent was that Zhao Zhikai was absolutely sure to counter Sun Zhan and use these new divisions to truly use them for front-line combat.

He never expected that Su Hao, an unplanned person, would turn the whole thing into the current situation.

Zhao Zhikai knew a little about Su Hao's domineering behavior at the new Guiyang base. It is indeed understandable to vent his anger as the person involved. But the problem is that these people in the aerial photos are obviously the military chiefs of the newly compiled division, but Su Hao denied it on the spot.

"Answer me: Where are Hou Jingzhan and Zhang Wenbo? Where are the military chiefs of the newly formed division?"

Zhao Zhikai unconsciously increased the volume.

He is not opposed to factional struggles, but he will never tolerate treating soldiers as victims.

Whether Yuan Zhicheng or Sun Zhan wants to seize power, you, Su Hao, can use any method to express your objection, or use your power to punish the officers below. However, once the target of the fight involves people above the brigade general, such as the military chief officer of the newly formed division, the significance of the problem becomes completely different.

No matter what those people have done, they are generals after all.

Su Hao has been paying attention to Zhao Zhikai's expression. Faced with such severe doubts, he just smiled faintly and replied calmly: "At 2 o'clock yesterday, 70 Peichang Zhang Wenbo took all the military chiefs of the newly formed division regiment to hunt together. I don't know where they are. These people are usually supreme and never salute when they see me. When they went out yesterday, they didn't even filed the record in the Military Law Office of the Group Army. I only learned about this later."

“Go out?”

"hunt?"

Many participants looked at each other and saw a funny expression from each other's eyes, with their faces trembling. Some looked surprised and angry, some felt incredible, and some shut up and just blew cold hums from their nostrils.

"General Su, are you kidding?"

"The situation around the new Guiyang base has been turbulent and unstable. At this time, are you still in the mood to hunt?"

"It's absolutely impossible that I don't believe they will do this."

Questions with different tones appeared from their mouths, and the attacks were all pointed at Su Hao. All the words of swords and guns were nothing more than lying, deceiving, concealing the facts, etc.... In just a few seconds, the military conference room, which had just calmed down, turned into a boiling oil pan with water droplets sprinkled.

Facing the gaze of his eyes, Su Hao was not at all stage frightened. He still smiled, but no one could tell. How much of the component in this smile is sarcasm? How much is hypocrisy?

Zhao Zhikai raised his hand and signaled everyone present to calm down. He frowned and asked again: "All the military chiefs of the ten newly formed divisions are going out to hunt?"

Su Hao's smile was as honest as an angel: "Yes, they took away many officers from the new division, saying that they were celebrating someone's birthday. The hunting team was huge, with more than a thousand people. They left the east of the base city, and many of them saw the scene at that time. If they wanted, they could find tens of thousands of witnesses."

The elderly general spoke again angrily: "Thousands of officers went out hunting together? Do you think we would believe such a ridiculous thing? They all left, what should we do about the daily affairs of the new division? Who will train the recruits? Who will maintain order? And where are there so many prey for people to enjoy?"

"The key is not to believe or not to believe, but to have it happened."

Su Hao replied with a smile: "Although the military chief lacks the daily affairs of the new division are still the same. There is no problem with the training of soldiers and the order is very well-organized. As for the prey you mentioned by General... Haha, there are as many as millions of mutated creatures in the abandoned city. You don't have to worry about this at all."

As soon as he said that, including Sun Zhan, who was holding his chest tightly, all the participants' faces suddenly changed drastically. Many people's eyes at Su Hao became unbelievable, and even had a faint fear.

Zhao Zhikai sat like a statue without moving, and asked in a cold and steady tone: "Are you saying that the place where they hunt is an abandoned city?"

"To be precise, it is an abandoned city, Guiyang." Su Hao responded with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

The elderly general could no longer hold it back. He suddenly grabbed the teacup placed on the table and smashed it hard towards Su Hao's figure on the screen. The cup passed through the light curtain and hit the wall heavily, smashing it into pieces, turning into a pile of sharp and scattered pieces of porcelain.

"The bastard surname is Su, how dare you kill an active-duty officer———"

The old general released uncontrollable rage and murderous intent all over his body. He roared at the screen: "I want to abolish your military status. The military headquarters has passed the vote. You are no longer the commander of the 505th Army. You are not as good as the dirtiest bitch on the street."

"Sit down if you have enough"

Suddenly, Zhao Zhikai jumped up at an extremely rapid speed, rushed to the old general, grabbed the other party's shoulder, and pressed him firmly on the chair. After doing all this, he turned around and looked at Su Hao who had not changed at all on the screen, and asked: "I asked one last time: Are you sure that all the military chiefs of the 505th Group Army are hunting in the abandoned city?"

Su Hao nodded without hesitation for a second: "Yes."

The answer was obviously not what Zhao Zhikai wanted. He frowned and his voice immediately increased a lot, and he obviously could no longer control the anger in his heart.

"I order you to send someone to get them back now."

“This is impossible.”

Su Hao's answer was extremely fragile, with no room for relief: "The abandoned city is very large, and no one knows where they are. I have no control of the troops, and no one below obeys my orders. Moreover, the recruits enter the abandoned city and die in vain. Of course, the problem may not be as bad as imagined. They hunt in the city and have a lot of fun. Maybe they just have fun and forget about Shu."

Although they had already torn their faces, Zhao Zhikai and Su Hao still maintained their superficial politeness, and no one could tell the problem through it.

From the initial communication interruption to the later in the aerial photo, the incidents in the 505th Army were clearly clear. It is obvious that Su Hao launched a mutiny and captured all the military chiefs of the new divisions stationed in the new Guiyang area. Those people were either detained by armed forces or turned into corpses. As for hunting, they were nominal excuses. Su Hao certainly could not make clear the facts and said bluntly that he had lost all his opponents. He could only use a more tactful statement to claim that these people were just going out and not returning.

Hunting in an abandoned city is a big joke. This excuse is nothing more than two consequences: first, hunters can come back with their prey. Second, they encounter an accident and are besieged by mutant creatures. Everyone dies tragically, and no survivors are left.

Zhao Zhikai ordered Su Hao to "retrieve the people back", with the purpose of wanting Hou Jingzhan, Zhang Wenbo and others to live. However, Su Hao's answer completely shattered his fantasy. His attitude was very firm and said frankly that he would never give in on this issue, and there was no room for negotiation.

Zhao Zhikai never mentioned the appointment and removal order of the 505th Army Group. He knew very well that the situation has developed to the present, and the new Guiyang side has lost control. If the veteran general is allowed to seize the appointment and removal order and continue to roar, not only will he not be able to get the lost benefits back from Su Hao, but he will also have to put the face of the military headquarters.

A whole army lost control, and it would be a scandal if it was said. Whether Su Hao played the role of a victim or a counterattack, the military headquarters were embarrassed and gave other troops an excuse to follow the situation. If the matter was all made public, perhaps other army leaders would have similar thoughts and cause large-scale armed separatism in a short period of time.

Since the problem has occurred, we must choose the best and most appropriate solution. As long as no one can say it through, the 505 Army is still in the same state as yesterday. There is no mutiny, no soldiers attacking officers, and no large number of military chief officers are missing, and Su Hao still obeys all orders issued by the military headquarters.

Of course, at least on the surface.

Although the fire was burning deep in his heart, Zhao Zhikai was still a little satisfied with Su Hao's attitude. He did not mention the identities of the tortured people tied to the photos on the rooftops, and did not admit that they were the military chiefs of the new division who "hunting out". Instead, he used the excuse of "civilian riots" to get rid of the matter.

Su Hao just wants to gain actual control of the 505th Army. Being forced to counterattack and proactive rebellion are two concepts. If Su Hao dares to penetrate the matter and make everything public on the public channel like last time, then Zhao Zhikai can only order a siege on the new Guiyang and annihilate this open rebel army on the spot.

That was not the result that Su Hao wanted, nor was it the situation that Zhao Zhikai wanted to see.

Even if Su Hao controls ten new divisions, it is the result of his struggle with Sun Zhan, and has nothing to do with Zhao Zhikai. Even through Wang Qinian's relationship, Zhao Zhikai can issue orders to these troops to a certain extent. After all, judging from past experiences and performances, Su Hao is a soldier with a strong sense of combat awareness of mutant creatures, and Sun Zhan just wants to preserve his strength, and even if he gets the army, he will not throw it into battle.

Just as the conference room was in a deadlock and everyone was thinking, the door was pushed open from outside and walked into a tall and nervous major. He came to Zhao Zhikai and stuffed a note full of text.

Zhao Zhikai glanced at the piece of paper, and his originally careless gaze suddenly became sharp. He let go of the old general's shoulder, his facial expression returned to seriousness, staring at Su Hao's figure on the screen, and said extremely seriously: "General Su, the new Guiyang base city is in the construction stage. I hope you can truly take on the responsibility of being the commander of the group army. Do what you should do, instead of traveling all day long and causing trouble."

Although he didn't know what was on the piece of paper, Su Hao knew very well that Zhao Zhikai had expressed his attitude and did not want to continue to pursue the missing persons. He did not even continue to mention issues such as communication interruptions and the newly-edition division. This was almost the result he wanted most.

"I am willing to obey the orders issued by the military."

Su Hao's words are not shirking: "The 505 Army will move to an active defense state from now on. With the abandoned city of Guiyang as the core, each of the troops under his jurisdiction will carry out a series of combat missions. I promise that the initial results will be achieved by the next week at the latest."

"Hope so."

Zhao Zhikai looked at him deeply and turned off the screen with a complicated expression.

Turning around and returning to his seat along the aisle. Although he didn't have any eye contact with anyone, Zhao Zhikai knew that all the participants were staring at him.

He sat down and exhaled a long breath. Then, he raised the paper in his hand, and said slowly in an extremely heavy tone: "Everyone, we must face a more severe reality. This biological war is far more tragic than imagined, and the severity of the development is far beyond expectations. Just now, Commander Yuan Zhicheng sent a telegram from the General Command of the Northern War Zone, the New Lanzhou Base City, and was broken."

Although the calendar has turned over the new year, the coldness in the north is still far greater than that in the south. The temperature below zero does not restrict the mutant creatures at all. They are still running in the cold wind, still maintaining the same fierceness and cruelty as usual.

Just yesterday, the tall city walls were still separating the base city into two different worlds.

Now, there is no difference between inside and outside the New Lanzhou base.

Outside, there are mutated creatures.

There are also mutated creatures inside.

The soldiers stood on the 100-meter-high alert tower and poured bullets downwards desperately. The bullet supplyers kept changing the links and maintaining continuous and fierce shooting. The whole city echoed everywhere with heavy machine guns like cracks, and dense bullets flew between the streets and buildings, forming barrage. No matter the fleeing humans or the attacking monsters, they could not escape this terrible impact of death.

Mutant creatures can be seen in all streets of the civilian area. There are dog-shaped humans with agility, and strong pig-shaped and cow-shaped humans. Blood corpses with significant changes in their limbs ran around the walls, and a large number of rats were drilling around in various rooms.

Screams and wails were everywhere, and crowds of people ran wildly on the streets. Their faces were filled with fear and despair, swarming in what might be safe.

A pig man, who was over five meters tall, spread his legs and sealed the alley between the two buildings like a mountain. There were no exits on both sides and around, and there were no stairs for climbing. The dozen or so civilians who were imprisoned could only hug each other and tremble, staring at the pig-shaped humanoid with their eyes that were almost out of their sockets. Watching it slowly approaching with its clumsy steps, the body weighing tons brought a terrible vibration, and then used its semi-evolved front limbs (five fingers) to the ground He grabbed a man casually, with the unique picky foodie, slowly stripped the man's clothes and pants until he was naked, and then he bent his body from his waist with his two forelimbs. With a shrill scream, he squeezed out the feces and other objects in the prey from his anus and mouth. Then, like people sitting in a KFC restaurant eating old Beijing chicken rolls in peacetime, straightened the prey that was beyond recognition and stuffed it into his mouth full of fangs and gnawed it.

A woman with panic face stumbled out of a hut on the roadside in the civilian area. Just after rushing out less than ten meters, several hard sharp stings roared towards her face, piercing her shoulders and thighs on the spot, one of which penetrated the woman's left cheek. Until her death, her face still had a look of fear and disbelief. As soon as the woman's body fell to the ground, several cockroach-shaped insect-like humans had swarmed up, surrounding the dead with body temperature, cutting muscles with sharp oral palate pieces, and quickly sharing them.

Two to three hard thorns have evolved from the backs of these disgusting creatures. This half-meter-long horny substance can shoot targets in a radius of 30 meters through muscle contraction. After staying in an abandoned city for a long time, fresh human flesh has an irresistible temptation to them, and I will never think about whether the meat in my mouth is a man or a woman? The status is high and low.

Not only civilians but also soldiers were hunted.

On the street leading to the military zone in the city, you can see scattered bodies of soldiers at any time. They have different dead shapes, their bodies are broken, many people have abdomen, their internal organs are dragged out, or they only have some broken bodies. Some are gnawed to reveal their bones, and the ground is full of blood, eyes, teeth, intestines and other messy body organs. They are mixed with shells and various weapon parts, making it difficult to distinguish them.
