Heimarian Odyssey - Chapter 557

[Chapter 557: Doomsday (8)]

Today’s morning is so gentle and dazzling to the Wuxiang soldiers who fought bloody all night.

Although it was winter, the warmth contained in the morning light made all the soldiers who felt the temperature let go of their last bit of strength and enjoy this moment of tranquility.

The ground of the barracks, which used to be neat and tidy, is now covered in blood, red, black, and white.

These unusually viscous things have been fermented overnight, and now they have turned into hard lumps, which are disgusting to step on.

“This ingredient is very strange. Collect it quickly and start testing when I return to the laboratory.” The mature woman wearing black glasses is a strange person in this barracks. When all the soldiers were too tired to move, this was the only one who suffered Still very energetic all night.

A group of white coats went up to collect various samples, mainly the blood of the living dead and the internal organs of mutant animals.

In a sealed glass container, there is a living dead body that has no lower body, only half of the shoulders, neck, and head, but is still full of vitality and wants to bite.

There is gunpowder smoke and flames everywhere, and no one has cleaned up the remnants of last night’s battlefield.

The light and heavy machine guns farther away were still roaring, their target was not the undead and mutant beasts, but the threat from the sky.

The bloody smell of Wuxiang military camp has attracted a large group of bloodthirsty mutated birds to come here to play the autumn wind.

Ai can form a crushing posture against the mutated beasts on the ground, but there is no good way to deal with the birds in the sky, and she can’t fly.

However, it was precisely because of the presence of the hellfire giant Ai here, and the power of the huge creature, that this group of mutated birds who were waiting for an opportunity did not dare to make too much publicity.

It’s hard for those exhausted soldiers to sleep so soundly amidst the rumble of guns and guns.

Among them, many low-level officers have not slept yet.

Wang Jun is a monitor, used to be.

He is now the acting platoon leader, because after his platoon leader turned into a living dead yesterday, he was the first to react, subdue and cut off the head of the living dead.

So the company commander was optimistic about him and made him the acting platoon leader.

Getting promoted and getting rich is the dream in every soldier’s heart, but Wang Jun, who has just completed one step of his dream, is not at all happy and excited.

There are a total of eight people in his squad, a squad leader, a deputy squad leader, and six big soldiers. They are usually brothers who sleep in a dormitory.

In the battle last night, he and two other soldiers were the only ones who survived the negative energy storm, and the only ones who survived the bloody night were him and a twenty-year-old boy named Er Liuzi.

Wang Jun and his brothers gave this kid the title of ‘Little Boy’, because this guy is always lazy in training, and he is a few minutes late every morning and evening exercises, no matter how Wang Jun cleans him up, he can’t change it.

But after this battle, Er Liu Zi became his last brother.

Wang Jun can’t forget the scene of Erliuzi picking up the light machine gun to cover himself last night, and he can’t forget that after his other brother Zhao Han was killed by the living dead, Erliuzi picked up the grenade and rushed to take revenge.

Walking to the back of a potholed fortification, many soldiers rested here and there, and there were many dead bodies on the ground that had not been cleaned up in time, and no one cared, because all the dead were their comrades in arms.

In a sunken crater, Wang Jun found the bum.

Erliuzi is sleeping with a ‘person’ in his arms.

After patting the bum, Wang Jun handed him a piece of bread.

The battalion had just started distributing food, and Wang Jun took two pancakes first by relying on his identity as the acting platoon leader.

“Squad leader, I don’t want to eat yet. Zhao Han said he was cold.” Er Liuzi said.

Wang Jun glanced at the corpse that Er Liuzi was holding, and tears could not stop streaming down from the eyes of this tough guy. Zhao Han is another brother in his class who survived the negative energy storm. However, if you take off the military cap, you can see the back of his head A large piece of flesh and blood up to the cervical vertebrae was bitten off.

The one who has the best relationship with the bum is Zhao Han, because only Zhao Han didn’t look down on the bum for being lazy, and only Zhao Han used to treat the bum as a brother.

“Don’t talk nonsense! Eat it for me! After eating, go and check clothes with me. Qian Liu and Zhou Wu have become living dead. They were our brothers before they were alive. We can’t let them die and be quiet!” Wang Jun scolded the bastard.

Hearing this, Er Liuzi put down Zhao Han’s body, sat up and silently took Wang Jun’s bread, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The mutated undead have undergone great changes compared to their pre-life appearances, and the characteristic that their heads must be chopped off to die makes all the corpses of the undead in the barracks in a dilapidated state.

Wang Jun didn’t expect to find the remains of his brothers, just dig out their military numbers and name tags from the pile of broken corpses, and then go outside the camp with Er Liuzi to dig a grave for them.

In China, the dead pay attention to being buried in the earth.

In the entire barracks, there were many surviving soldiers like Wang Jun and Er Liuzi. The fierce battle overnight made all of them feel a heavy weight in their hearts.

“How’s the statistics going?” In the headquarters, Commander Ma asked the two staff officers standing in front of him.

“There are 5,327 people in the brigade, and the number of survivors is 1,265, of which 362 were seriously injured and 589 were slightly injured.” A staff officer said.

“The loss of ammunition supplies is serious. In addition to consuming one-third of the spare warehouse under the headquarters, the biggest loss is the No. 2 and No. 3 ammunition depots that were affected and detonated during the battle.” Another staff officer reported.

“There are only more than 1,200 people left…” Ma Ling murmured, and then he said, “Are there enough medicines? I want to rescue all the lightly and seriously injured!”

A staff officer looked embarrassed, but still reported truthfully, “We lost more medicines than ammunition. Now only the headquarters has a little spare. If we want to have enough medicines, we have to go to Wuxiang to get them. There is a The town hospital and several small clinics should have stock.”

“Wu Township.” Commander Ma looked in the direction of Wu Township. Locke had been there all night, so he didn’t know what was going on there.

“Let the soldiers who are still ready to fight regain their strength as soon as possible. This place is not safe. We need to build more solid fortifications.” Commander Ma ordered.

“Yes!” The two staff officers stood at attention, and then turned around to convey instructions.

The two had just left when someone came in from the outside again, this time it was a scientific and technological talent.

In addition to soldiers in the early 1000s, the Wuxiang military camp now has more than 20 scientific researchers, and about 30 people from the Maoshan faction.

“How is the deciphering work going?” Ma Ling asked impatiently.

The man shook his head and said, “It will take another day, but we have restored the radio communication technology.”

Ma Ling nodded. Now that the satellite is scrapped, and the wires and cables in various places have been damaged to varying degrees by the living dead and mutant beasts, the only reliable means of communication is the radio.

“How far is the radiation range of the radio?” Ma Ling asked.

“Because of the interference of unknown factors carried by cosmic rays, the radiation range has been reduced by nearly 20 times, and now we can only guarantee our signal within 10 kilometers at the farthest.”

“Is there a way to increase the radius of use?” The 10-kilometer radio is less than one-tenth of the distance to the nearest military base in Wuxiang.

The researcher paused and said, “There are two ways, one is to lay signal antennas outside, and the other is to increase the radio frequency, but the latter will increase our power consumption.”

When Ma Ling heard this, he was extremely disappointed with these two methods.

What’s going on outside now, Commander Ma knows how bad it is without thinking about it. Now that he is too busy to take care of himself, there is no spare force to send out to lay the signal tower antenna.

Power consumption is even more of a problem. Now all the military camps use backup power sources. How to generate electricity and generate electricity is the most urgent situation that Ma Commander needs to consider at the moment.

“One more thing.” The scientific researcher said, “Ten minutes ago, our radio station received intermittent calls for help, suspected to be Commander Zhao.”

When the scientific researchers said this, their voices were very low, and they were not bad at playing with technology. Naturally, they knew more about the tactics of the two in the army than ordinary soldiers.

“Where are they?” As expected, Ma Ling paused before asking.

“Just three kilometers away, they still have about 300 people left, mainly armed police, police, firefighters, and some citizens, but now they are surrounded by a group of undead and mutant beasts.” The researcher said.

How can this be suspected to be Commander Zhao? With such a detailed personnel allocation and the current situation, the department below must have a clear understanding of the situation before they came to tell Commander Ma.

The phrase ‘suspect’ is for Commander Ma. Leaving aside the personal grievances between the two commanders, it is unknown whether their Wuxiang military camp is still capable of rescuing their troops.

Even the technicians in the intelligence department don’t want to meddle in their own business. If the soldiers they send out don’t come back and lose this available army, they will not be far from perishing.

In the face of life safety, everyone is selfish.

“Armed police, police…” Ma Ling muttered, he was not as short-sighted as this scientific researcher, and he valued this group of new forces.

Now that the entire Wu Township has experienced a night of fighting, Commander Ma, as the supreme leader of the army, is completely confident that this team is in his hands, and it will be difficult for Commander Zhao to overwhelm the host when Commander Zhao comes.

That’s why Commander Zhao came late, and Commander Ma wasn’t worried at all that his old opponent would fight for power with him.

Not to mention whether Commander Zhao can win over this group of soldiers from Commander Ma, but in terms of Commander Ma’s character and means, Commander Zhao will not be allowed to make small moves there.

While Commander Ma was still thinking about whether to rescue Commander Zhao and the others, Locke on the other side had already returned to the Wuxiang barracks.

As soon as Locke, who was floating in mid-air, descended, special soldiers came to report to Commander Ma.
