The so-called transaction of power and strength is just like this.

However, Su Hao needs more than that.

When Ding Yuan walked into the temporary command center under the leadership of two "worker bees" guards, Su Hao, with the assistance of Gao Liquan, cut open the body of a cow-shaped humanoid with a special scalpel.

Guiyang is no different from other abandoned cities, and it also gathers thousands of mutant creatures. Through the relationship between the military headquarters and Xu Renjie, Su Hao obtained the monitoring data of Guiyang City in recent times from the Air Force. After rough calculations, the mutant creatures entrenched in Guiyang City are about three to four million.

Compared with the number of mutated creatures in densely populated cities such as Shanghai and Beijing during peacetime periods, the monsters in Guiyang City are of course not worth mentioning. The reason why we chose to build a new base is not only regional control, but more importantly, the exploration chart of the future world shows that when the boring machine digs more than 18,000 meters underground, it will be found that there are rich iron ore and uranium ore buried here.

The commander's office was a tall and spacious room with plenty of light. Standing at the entrance of the room, Ding Yuan clearly saw that a cow-shaped person more than three meters tall was put down on the ground, and several military doctors in white coats were surrounding him, busy and nervously. They looked at the various parts of the body of the cow.

Su Hao was surrounded by everyone in the center. His method of operation was flexible and his dissection was extremely fast. The sharp edge of the knife was straight down from the ox-shaped human throat, and the entire body was cut longitudinally, revealing bright red muscles, white bones, and large and soft internal organs.

As the scalpel continued to slash on the man's body, the area that was broken became larger and larger, and Su Hao's eyes deep in his pupils became more and more gloomy.

This cow-shaped human was the prey that Gao Liquan and his friends had just captured from an abandoned city. In order to capture this guy alive, hundreds of kilograms of fresh pork and fifty-three standard unit powerful anesthesia bombs were consumed.

The body structure of the bovine-shaped human is completely different from that of humans. There is a new cavity between the chest and abdomen. A brand new internal organs are produced, and the main function is still used for digestion, but it is based on the huge stomach, which in turn produces more energy conversion effects. This significant change has led to the bovine-shaped human beings being able to store more food at one time, from the "rumination" function of the bovine, which makes the utilization rate of these foods reach the extreme without any waste. Their recipes are no longer plants, but fresh flesh and bones. The food targets are not limited to humans, but also some other smaller mutant creatures.

In this monster's stomach sac with a similar appearance to the legendary Bull Demon King, Su Hao found two undigested rat-shaped human heads, some meat pieces with characteristics of animals such as cats and dogs. It is not difficult to identify these things. Although the surface is covered with mucus, a considerable part of them has been corroded into liquid by gastric acid, they still have broken fur.

There is a phenomenon of cannibalism among mutant organisms, which is no secret in the future world. Researchers have been observing them, wanting to find the possibility of fighting mutant organisms. However, due to the environment and the dangers of mutant organisms, there is very little information on this aspect, and people can only continuously improve the theory based on the existing data.

The mutated creatures in abandoned cities are undergoing differentiation. The most prominent representatives are cow, horse and pig-shaped humans. Their size is getting bigger and bigger. Pigs with a height of more than four meters and a weight of more than 500 kilograms have been observed. They are a monster with both pig and human genes. The muscle tissue is dense, with extremely thick skin, 30% of the body surface connected, and there is a tendency to expand and expand. This skin can effectively resist penetrating damage. The old 8mm rifle bullet can only cause skin explosions and cannot enter the body to produce diffuse bursting effects. Even the new 9mm warhead can only shoot at close range. Otherwise, the compact effect between the muscles and skin will offset the impact of the shooting, making it impossible to penetrate deep into the body, and can only cause mild damage in the muscles and near viscera.

The liver, alveolar, heart, intestine... As various internal organs were taken out of the body of the cow-shaped human, the huge monster soon left only muscles and skin. The soldiers in white coats were once doctors in peacetime. Although they have now become "worker bees", the knowledge and skills in their brains have not deteriorated. Based on these people, Su Hao formed his own research institution to impart various theories about mutated creatures in the future world to them, and constantly capture living monsters for experiments.

Biological warfare is a long process. Only through daily accumulation can we find the weaknesses of mutated creatures. Evolution itself is not terrible. What is terrible is that humans have no awareness of mutation and strength. On the premise that first-order enhancement potions cannot meet all surviving humans, the army can only continuously reduce the number of monsters in a defensive way. The research and application of various new technologies is naturally becoming more and more urgent.

The cow-shaped humanoids were quickly broken down. The soldiers piled large pieces of muscles in the corner of the wall, carried buckets, and quickly washed away the large patch of blood on the ground. Soon, the sauce-colored blood was washed into the drainage pipe, and the floor exposed the original grayish white. However, the smell of blood in the air was still lingering, stimulating people's olfactory nerves at all times.

Su Hao rode a pair of high-tube rubber rain boots, crossed the accumulated water on the ground, and strode to Ding Yuan, who was a little pale-faced. While wiping his newly washed hands with a towel, he looked at him seriously.

As the chairman of "Hongguang Group", Ding Yuan's appearance is obviously not very consistent with his title.

In peacetime, when people mention people like "Chairman" and "General Manager", they will always subconsciously think of their suits and ties, elegant demeanor, and possess mysterious characters who control huge amounts of funds to dominate the market.

However, Ding Yuan, who is forty-one, has a completely different appearance from him---he is wearing a tight pullover and jeans, with developed muscles stretching out on his chest, making him look burly. His face is pale, his eyebrows are thick, and his black and dense beard is mixed with some white. No matter who sees anyone, Ding Yuan's eyes are filled with an unfriendly look, looking extremely alert and inaccessible, and belongs to the type with an introverted and strange temperament.

The sphere of influence of the "Hongguang Group" is in the Shaoyang area. Due to the regional location, the "Hongguang Group" has offices and shops in the Xinnanyang base city. When Su Hao led the refugees to evacuate, he forcibly requisitioned the "Hongguang Group" transport vehicles and some materials. In this regard, Ding Yuan and He Zuguang and others had no difference, and they were both objects of robbery and oppression.

Ding Yuan had a place in the chaotic world after the outbreak of the virus, his eyes and courage were both insightful. After the end of the Hefei Battle, he had been silently paying attention to Su Hao. The result was surprising-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other words, although Su Hao, a young man, acted unconventional and dared to piss off a vice chairman to death at a military meeting, he did not receive any substantial punishment. Instead, he became a senior official who controlled the power of one side.

Ding Yuan heard about the encounters of the "Red Smoke Group" and Zu Guang and others. Even he was surprised and even absurd when Su Hao asked for huge material aid. But after calming down, Ding Yuan also developed a strong curiosity about Su Hao. He didn't understand where Su Hao's confidence came from? What exactly is tough capital? Also, why did he need so much food? Do you really want to supply it to refugees? Do you win over the hearts of the people like politicians in peacetime?

Things like alms and disaster relief are a joke in the Black Era. Although the military will not disclose the secret agreements with the Atlantis, civilians have long understood from various experiences in the past two years: the government will no longer care about us, and if you want to survive in a chaotic world, you can only rely on yourself. Frozen to death, starve to death, and illness to death is no longer news. No one will give alms, and the dead deserve it. Whether you eat shit like a dog or eat people like a monster, no one will say anything.

A general who feeds hundreds of thousands of civilians is simply a giant panda in the Black Era, more precious than a fucking endangered animal.

With strong curiosity and various complex thoughts, Ding Yuan decided to go to Xin Guiyang to have a look and contact with Su Hao, and by the way, if there is any possibility of asking for vehicles and materials that Su Hao had forcibly requisitioned during his time in Xin Nanyang.

"Ding Yuan"

Su Hao stared at the other party for a few seconds, with the majesty that the general should have and the necessary kindness smile: "I remember there is also a Ding Yuan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who is a hero who commands one side."

Su Hao did not mention Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. Although both of them had a decisive relationship with Ding Yuan's death in the Romance, Su Hao chose to forget them.

"I don't know why my father gave me this name."

The tense muscles on Ding Yuan's face slowly dissipated, showing a gentle and helpless smile: "The same name is not a good thing. Especially when that person is more famous than him and is known to him by more people, I feel like I am just a substitute."

Su Hao smiled faintly and made a safe gesture in obscurely. The guards and officers standing around him immediately dispersed and started their own work.

Su Hao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to Ding Yuan. He lit it for himself, took a deep breath, and his expression became comfortable and natural, and he looked very enjoyable.

"Everyone says smoking is harmful to health, but I can't quit. Recently, there have been more and more issues to consider, and my addiction to smoking has become increasingly serious. Nicotine is also fatal to strengthening people. Maybe I will die of lung cancer one day."

The cigarette, coupled with this worry-free speech, was actually an emotional venting statement, quickly cleared Ding Yuan's inner worries and brought the distance between the two men closer. He laughed generously, turned around and called a follower, who quickly walked out of the room and took back a box of exquisitely packaged Havana cigars in the car outside as a gift to Su Hao.

"Last week, I met with people from the "Red Smoke Group" in this room."

Su Hao fiddled with the lighter in his hand and looked at Ding Yuan standing opposite him with bright eyes: "The virus caused information blockage, but this kind of thing should have no effect on the wealthy consortium. You are very clear about the requirements I made for the "Red Smoke Group", and they think I was too much. You are the chairman of the consortium after them. Haha, don't you plan to say anything to me?"

Ding Yuan did not answer the question directly. He spitted smoke and watched casually as the soldiers cut the corpses of cow-shaped humanoids in the room, chopped the remaining muscles into large pieces, and put them in an iron box with pulleys at the bottom to transport them away.

"Is this something edible?"

"Of course. Its basic ingredients are still protein and energy."

"But... aren't they mutated from the parasites of viruses? If we trace the roots, mutated organisms are actually humans."

"That's just a misunderstanding in thinking. When you eat beef, you won't think that the genes of beef are similar to those of humans. You just think that beef is delicious and nutritious."

"But what should the virus do? Will they enter the body of the eater and cause a secondary infection?"

"High temperature disinfection can kill most of the bacteria known at present. These damn humanoid muscle tissue is very tight, and under the action of temperature and autoclave, they will quickly become crispy and delicious. How about it, are you interested in staying for dinner and trying fresh beef stewed with potatoes and tomatoes? I promise, you will like it.

Such conversations have nothing to do with the theme in the minds of the two people. But it is undeniable that Ding Yuan's vigilance and tension are fading away little by little. He began to look at Su Hao from another perspective, feeling that the young general was not as domineering as the legendary one. His attitude was kind and friendly, and his smile was full of sunshine. At least, there was no burden to talk to him, and there was no need to think about too many issues.

"I'm a businessman. You know, the way businessmen think about problems is a bit special. We can invest in a certain project or help someone with friendship. But this is very rare and the investment is not too much. We have to see profits, and that's the fundamental thing that determines everything."

Ding Yuan was in a mood and decided to open the skylight and say something: "General Su, of course I know that you have proposed the conditions for the "Red Smoke Group" to include 200,000 tons of food. I am also very clear that under your feet is an emerging base city with complete defense and good facilities. As a funder, I can get priority entry rights and regional control of civilians, as well as special rights in opening shops, monopoly on materials, etc. But you have to understand that the amount of this investment is too large. If these visible income alone are far from enough.

A faint smile appeared on Su Hao's face. He smoked and stared at Ding Yuan.

This middle-aged man is older than himself, but because of his identity and ability, he has to raise his head and talk to him. In peacetime, this situation is unimaginable. At that time, people were still moral and rules in their hearts, and young people must respect the elders, rather than just using strength as the standard for measuring each other's identity as they are now.

"You should look at it longer."

Su Hao bounced the ashes and said indifferently: "I treat all the wealthy consortiums equally. Next week, I will terminate the negotiations completely. Haha, do you think I requisitioned vehicles and supplies in Xinnanyang just for the sake of forcing them? Things are not what you imagined. I need an excuse for you to come to you on your own initiative, and I also need your material help. Of course, you are a businessman and a soldier, but it is unified in terms of complementary interests. My conditions are here, and the requirements will not be reduced at all. 200,000 tons of food and other raw materials are my bottom line. Moreover, I will not wait too long. All supplies must be shipped to Xinguiyang within three months to complete the handover."

"Three months?"

Ding Yuan felt that the time was too tight, so he frowned and asked, "Can you slow it down? Now many roads are blocked, and the battle in Hefei caused a large number of mutated creatures to leave the city, and the transportation process was not safe."

"You have just said that New Guiyang is a well-equipped city. The current difficulties are only temporary. We have built a closed ground farm. With the continuous improvement of the construction level, food output can fully meet everyone's needs. Our harvest cycle is only three months, and foreign food raw materials can only play a role in this period of time. If it exceeds, four months, five months, or even longer..."

Speaking of this, Su Hao paused for a moment, looked at Ding Yuan coldly, his words and voices were sarcastic: "Do you think I still need the so-called "venture investment"?"

This is half true and half false——The output cycle of closed farms is indeed three months, but the quantity is far from the standard mentioned by Su Hao, and it cannot make everyone full. It will take at least seven months to maintain a balance between output and consumption.

This is a threat to Ding Yuan and a disguised threat. More importantly, Su Hao wants to use this method to see if the "Hongguang Group" has a calm and decisive leader who can be used by him?

Su Hao has many trump cards in his hand.

Especially after the last conversation with Wang Qinian, Su Hao became more clear about the relationship between the Atlantis and the military. He already knew what things could not be done and what things could be touched?
