Section 179: Taking refuge
The new logistics director is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a smile on his face, as if it was his eternal sign.
In another month and a half, the recruit training period will end. Su Hao is more clear than anyone about the role of these new weapons on the battlefield. He will never tolerate the fact that human life is exchanged for mutated creatures before the equipment is complete. Therefore, for almost a month, he spent the entire logistics office and constantly asked the new director to give priority to his equipment.
In order to achieve his goal, Su Hao asked Commander Xu Renjie for a warrant twice, and even pulled Ren Yijiang, the owner of the information department, to help him find someone to help.
"Human favors" are one of the indispensable and important resources in modern society. Even in the world after the Black Era, it is also particularly important. Although the new director of the Logistics Department is not a greedy old bureaucrat, he also understands the difference between acquaintances and strangers. With Ren Yijiang's extensive connections that are no different from lubricant, plus more than a dozen fresh pheasants, rabbits, and field mice from outside the city, the new director who has always been accustomed to giving up his smile can no longer hide his face. After pouring several large cups of special supply "Wuliangye", he finally confessed the truth to Su Hao with drunkenness.
"Brother, it's not that I don't help you, but this is really troublesome. The two new equipment you want are very small. According to relevant regulations, priority must be given to the supply of front-line combat troops. The Wanxian Base accepted the 399th Infantry Division who came back from the Eastern Front last month. They just added a group of new recruits, and there is still a 4.6% vacancies for the new weapons. If they meet them, they cannot satisfy you. The 11th Independent Force has to wait."
"4.6% of the vacancies?"
This number surprised Su Hao a little.
He poured wine for the new director and said strangely: "The 399 Infantry Division started to rest last month. Logically, their weapons and equipment should be instigated by the Eastern Front Headquarters. How could it be..."
"The front-line headquarters is only responsible for maintaining the basic total amount, and some of the vacancies are usually supplied by the rest and rest base.
The new director chewed a piece of braised rabbit meat and said slowly: "Under normal circumstances, the replenishment of individual weapons must reach 120% or 150%, or even 200%, and 300%. These weapons are very depleted. There is no artillery support for combat now, and the guys from the Air Force do not know what they are doing, and they are always missing. In this case, the average probability of the loss of light weapons and ammunition is at least four to five times. The heavy workshops in the base city are limited, and the new production assembly line will be activated next month. I don't hide it from you. Your batch of equipment must be pushed back, at least next month, to replenish 50%.
Although he had expected this result, Su Hao was still surprised by the new director's words.
He was a little confused: "Does 39 Pei have to complete the supply at the Wanxian base? I have read the relevant supplementary regulations. They belong to Class A troops and can completely replenish the missing soldiers and return to the front-line headquarters to receive the corresponding weapon quota. The Group Army Logistics Department does not need to bear all the supply pressure in this regard, but in fact..."
"No, no, no, no, things are not as simple as you think."
The new director put down his chopsticks and looked at Su Hao with sympathy. He hugged his shoulder behind him, raised his right index finger to face the ceiling, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "The main reason is that someone above suppresses you."
"who?"
"Chief of Staff Chen Yanlin."
The new director finally told the truth: "He ordered me to delay the supply of the 11th Independent Force as much as possible. Of course, it is not a 100% rejection, but to find ways to delay with various excuses. Even if the supplies are sufficient, other units must be given priority. "The 11th Independent Force must be at the end", which is his original words. You know, there are many units under the 71 Group, one by one, and no matter how much materials are, they will be divided up. Now, unlike before, everything is short of."
Shocked, shocked, angry...
After a brief conflict of thinking, Su Hao took out a stack of blue coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the new director. The latter pushed the banknotes back and said seriously: "Don't do this, you are fighting with your head. Colonel Su, I have heard of some of your things. No matter which side you stand on, you always fight with the monsters outside the city. Do me a favor - try to kill as much as possible, and it's best to kill them completely."
The new director stared at the wine glass, his eyes clearly surging with a faint sadness and pain.
"My father failed the physical test. He was "Class B". He went to the Xijing base for training! When I sold everything at home, I left him enough money and a long letter. In the letter, I told him not to think too much, try to spend all the money and make myself live a happier life. I don't know if he understood the meaning of the letter. At that time, the mailing address I left was here. After the training, I found dozens of letters he wrote to me in the base city, and a remittance slip was attached. The numbers on it were the ones I left for him at the beginning..."
Su Hao has not commented on the man’s story. From the future world to the present, Su Hao has seen and heard too many similar stories.
At this moment, he could only serve as a silent listener.
The new director slowly sipped the strong wine, as if he was talking to himself.
"The materials that come out of the production workshop every month are almost fixed. Generally speaking, they are stored in the warehouse south of the military control area. Although the 11th Independent Forces is at the end of the sequence on the supply table, no one can deny it and refuse to supplement it to you. With the commander's own handwriting, as long as you move fast enough and get it first before other units, no one can pick up the problem. Haha... This is completely in line with the rules, but it is not reasonable."
Without waiting for Su Hao to answer, the newly drunk director added another sentence.
"Remember we haven't met tonight and we haven't had dinner together. That's it."
The process of receiving new equipment was much smoother than Su Hao expected.
The officer on duty at the warehouse management office did not make things difficult for him. When Su Hao reported his name, position, and army number, the other party just nodded slightly, handed over a registration book with dense unit names, and told him: "Find out your army number from above and sign it."
There is no fight or dispute, and the whole process is as simple as ordering food and paying the bill in a restaurant.
Su Hao is not a fool, he quickly figured out the reason.
If you guessed correctly, this should be a contest between the commander of the army Xu Renjie and the chief of staff Chen Yanlin.
Of course, conflicts and disputes will never be placed in a clear place. Doing so will only make outsiders feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and at the same time, it is considered "fighting in the house" by senior military officials.
Otherwise, the warehouse duty officer would not have distributed sufficient supplies to himself so easily.
However, his actions were nothing wrong. After all, all the procedures comply with the rules. Su Hao just came earlier than others and did not queue up, that's all.
Su Hao has never had any interest in power struggles, nor is he as superb as Xu Renjie and Chen Yanlin.
He only cares about the specific number of equipment, the expansion progress of the "bee swarm", and the "worker bees" he is optimistic about in the 11th independent army.
This is a chaotic world, a world that has completely lost its fixed framework and moral norms. Power politics has been greatly weakened, and tricks and strategies must give way to absolutely strong strength. If we look at the comparison between the two alone, it is actually similar to the peace era. It is just because of mutated organisms and viruses that humans are forced to shrink in the area occupied by the earth's surface and curl up around various base cities to continue their activities.
Unfortunately, many big names still maintain the old fixed concept. They never face reality and are more stubborn than anyone else.
The underground part of the military control area of the New Chengdu Base City is extremely large. According to the specific usage function, it is divided into different areas. Among them, the service area used to receive outsiders is the most luxurious decoration, but the protection strength has not been weakened at all.
Yuan Hao stood in the middle of the platform of the fitness venue, casually looking at more than ten training opponents standing around him.
These men are all specially selected strong men. They are over two meters tall, their muscles are as hard as steel, and the blood vessels raised from the skin are like tendons wrapped around their bodies. Their fierceness and strength are simply the exaggerated barbarians in the game poster.
In contrast, Yuan Hao, who is also very delicate and has a slightly thin appearance. Although his height and body are not much different from his opponent, he is not that strong, and his muscle swelling can only be considered medium, which makes him look more flexible, soft and tough, but far from the same strength level as his opponent.
Six to one, the quantity comparison is absolutely huge.
However, all the besiegers showed fear and timidity in their eyes, their steps were obviously a little sluggish, and their iron tower-like body was trembling slightly.
If possible, they would rather turn around and run away than stay in such a place and rush up to fight Yuan Hao's desperate situation.
Escape...
This is just a fantasy that flashes through my mind. This venue is a special area. High-power laser generators are installed on the corners and ceilings. There are as many as twenty-four electronic warning devices on the walls. This thing is actually a computer-controlled weapon platform. Each platform has six 20 mm electric cannons, which can shoot the interior of the venue from all directions.
The identity information of the six strong men in charge of training was input into the computer. Without Yuan Hao's permission, the computer will not actively unlock the locking state. Various weapons set in the fitness venue have been targeted at these people. Once they leave the edge of the venue, they are used as a warning yellow line, thousands of bullets will be sprayed out immediately.
These strong men in charge of training are all prisoners who have committed serious crimes.
The virus storm caused large-scale infection and death of human beings, and the survivors who survived have gradually adapted to the chaotic world without laws and rules. They gained vitality through violent robbery and killing, but this arrogant approach was not recognized by the base city. The prisons of the 71st Army, large and small, were almost crowded with people. The so-called "transformation education" was nothing more than being filled with front-line hand-to-hand combat troops or being sent to research institutions as experimental materials.
Such practices will definitely be regarded as extremely violent and inhumane explosive news in peacetime. However, now there is no despicable or moral degradation. The Military Law Department never arrests people for no reason. The prisoners who are imprisoned in prison all commit unforgivable felonies. Buying and selling people, dividing corpses, robbing military supplies... The simplest example is that a large number of gangs in the base city that were implicated in the Hequn incident were arrested. Although they are all civilians, they are not innocent.
The six prisoners of Yuan Hao surrounded were all transformed. They were injected with special genes and second-level enhancement potion, and received a certain degree of fighting training through computer simulation. Of course, they were not to provide supplementary soldiers to the front line, but to use them as practical training opponents of high-level officers to improve their abilities.
Luxury and specialness may be stains that human society can never erase. If you just need training, Yuan Hao can enter an abandoned city and find enough mutant creatures to fight. However, the problem lies here———Yuan Hao’s identity is quite noble, including him. Many people with similar identities think this is the right they should enjoy. Just like the superiors during the Great Famine, the officials can buy real and precious medicinal materials for 100 yuan, and even if the ordinary people spend ten times the money, they can only buy high-priced medicines from black-hearted manufacturers to treat illnesses... This is the benefit of power and identity, and they will never give up.
The prisoners knew very well what the so-called "schooling" was. This was a business with extremely high mortality rates. Many of their companions were taken away in the same name before, but never came back.
The stalemate made Yuan Hao feel very impatient.
He held his finger joints hard, making a terrifying "crackling" sound, with a grim smile on his face, looking around, his voice was low.
"Come on, you have six of you, and I have only one. If you beat me, you will be able to leave alive."
The last sentence was infused into the minds of all prisoners like a cardiotropic agent.
Finally, a prisoner with a particularly strong physique and fierce appearance could no longer suppress his temperament. He quickly looked at his left and right sides, winked at his companion, roared angrily, and his legs suddenly exerted force, pounced towards Yuan Hao, who was cold-faced, like a cannonball.
This is a signal that five other prisoners rose up at the same time and attacked Yuan Hao's deadly parts from different directions.
There are no dead corners, Yuan Hao, who is standing in the center, will undoubtedly die.
At least that seems to be the case.
He kept a grim smile on his face, and rushed back towards the prisoner who was rushing towards him first. He stretched out his hand as hard as a steel drill, grabbed the other person's wrist, and pulled it over from the side. Before the prisoner who had lost his balance could react, Yuan Hao had already swung his right fist high and smashed it hard on the prisoner's head like a steel hammer.
The punch was extremely powerful, and the entire skull collapsed on the spot, like an upside-down bowl was smashed from the bottom and sunken down. The huge force squeezed the two eyeballs out of the eye sockets and sprayed several meters away, and a sticky white brain with a boiling temperature splashed out from the air.
A series of actions took less than two seconds.
Yuan Hao threw down the twitching body in his hand, turned his head and flashed over another prisoner who had already pounced on him. He raised his arm and turned the other person to overturn. He opened his left fingers and penetrated them hard into the prisoner's eyes and nostrils. With the violent and cruelty like an angry wild bear, he roared and broke the nose and cheekbones in amid the extremely shrill wailing sound, and rubbed the whole face into a blur.
The air suddenly filled with strong blood, stimulating Yuan Hao to kill the remaining prisoners with even more cruel techniques.
This is not a training at all, but a game that belongs to him.
The fifth-level strengthening man faces the second-level strengthening man. Although there are as many as six opponents, he still slaughtered nakedly.
Just like a butcher will feel itchy when he doesn't kill pigs for a long time, and if he doesn't fight for a while, Yuan Hao will feel uncomfortable all over.
New Chengdu is not New Lanzhou. If you don’t have absolute security, you will enter an abandoned city without authorization. God knows what you will encounter.
Killing people in a fitness venue is almost the same.
It took Yuan Hao less than five seconds from the death of the first prisoner to the fifth prisoner being torn in half.
He stood proudly in the center of the venue, his body covered with blood. Yuan Hao kept licking the plasma stained on the surface of his fingers and palms, and coldly looked at the last prisoner huddled across the street. The guy was obviously scared by such a cruel way of playing, his legs trembled desperately, and his face was as pale as paper. A long distance away, Yuan Hao's enhanced hearing could still tell the "dede" sound of the prisoner's teeth shaking.
"Let me go, please let me go..."
The poor prisoner refused to come up. He felt like he was going crazy———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Suddenly, he turned around suddenly and ran towards the gate with amazing speed and madness.
The high-power laser generator installed in the corner of the wall immediately responded, and a dazzling white light flashed from the corresponding angle and penetrated the prisoner's head on the spot. In full view of everyone, the poor man's neck disappeared instantly, leaving a neat and calcined black fracture. Then, he walked back and forth on the ground as if he had lost his balance and fell heavily.
"Idiot who has no courage, I hate this weak and damn guy———"
He spat hard at the corpse that was still twisting and wriggling on the ground. Yuan Hao walked out of the platform. Two young women in military uniforms immediately met him, draped the wet towel just right on his shoulders, and flexibly wiped the blood stains on his body.
Yuan Hao walked to the chair placed beside the wall and sat down, reached out and picked up the drink on the table and took a few sips, and let out a long sigh.
"Speak up, what do you want to tell me? I hope you can hear something that is interesting enough from your mouth, rather than wasting time with boring content."
