BC Chapter 122
by VolareUntil the leaders in the combat command center heard the unbelievable information from Du Huan, the first person to return and report on the frontline situation, they all looked at each other with tense expressions and furrowed brows.
“Given the critical situation, and the estimate that there are still many civilians awaiting rescue with scarce supplies, I hope the organization will arrange for higher-level fire support as soon as possible!” Although his appearance was somewhat disheveled due to the previous battles and cautious hiding along the way, Deputy Captain Du Huan, who came from the special operations rescue team, showed no sign of diminished spirit, and proposed his suggestion in a voice as loud as a bell.
He had just reported the previous situation. Although things were the way they were when he left, it was almost certain that the situation encountered by the remaining team members after he separated from Yao Jinglin and the others would only be more severe.
Moreover, he had carefully observed the personnel moving around outside the camp before entering the command center. They were basically the team members who had been assigned to stay behind and patrol around the camp before he left. None of the people from the several squadrons that had been dispatched had returned.
“Yao Jinglin estimates that the longer the time drags on, the more detrimental it will be for us to clear out those zombies. If possible, ground advancement and aerial strikes should be carried out simultaneously!” In fact, Yao Jinglin didn’t tell him this, but both of them were captains, and after witnessing that kind of bloody, cruel, and bizarre scene, their judgments on the situation at the time were not much different. On the other hand, he was indeed very anxious. This relatively restrained wording of the report was the best expression he could come up with after carefully weighing things to avoid making the leaders feel that he was making a mountain out of a molehill while still accurately conveying the situation at the front.
The leaders were silent for a while, and they all saw the seriousness of the matter in each other’s eyes. In fact, as time passed and they still hadn’t received reports from the various squadrons, several leaders had already had some ominous guesses in their hearts. However, the decision-making was not something that one person could decide, and the more critical the moment, the more it tested the minds of qualified leaders. Whoever could endure to the end among several people would be more positively affirmed by those above afterward. After all, the officialdom is like a battlefield, and the war without gunpowder smoke is sometimes more terrible than the hot war at the front.
It’s just that they wouldn’t consider the frontline soldiers who were innocently sacrificed in their bloodless struggle.
But now that Du Huan had returned and stated the urgency and severity of the matter, the few people would no longer appear incompetent in their leadership if they unified their front and reported to the higher-ups together.
The news was quickly conveyed to decision-makers at a higher level. Given the seriousness of the situation, the higher-ups decided to dispatch national forces—a heavy weapons detachment from the Marine Corps, a high-tech warfare team, and an aerial rescue helicopter squadron. At the same time, they increased the number of special police officers assisting in the operation and the rescue medical team.
After the rescue lineup was reorganized, everyone boarded battle vehicles and assault vehicles, and drove the Marine Corps’ major killing weapon—light tanks that could carry out continuous deep strikes—to the outskirts of Qingshui City.
When the mobilization was over, the main force of the Marine Corps, under the cover of the night, “crawled” into Qingshui City little by little from the passage that Yao Jinglin and the others had advanced through, like a black steel serpent.
The city, which had been occupied by the zombie tide for a long time, finally ushered in true liberation.
……
Although Yan Shaohang had somewhat guessed that Yin Suna’s deep sleep and coma were likely due to a second evolution that had already occurred in her body, he still didn’t want to casually leave Yin Suna alone in the hotel. As for Yan Song, Liu Jie, and Wei Wei, the fact that they would choose to stay with him to take care of Yin Suna was something he had never expected.
As for Yan Song and the other two, they were all very clear that the situation outside was far more dangerous than a second-stage evolved Yin Suna. For the three of them, Yan Shaohang was the soul commander, martial arts force, and think tank of their temporary team. Without Yan Shaohang, they didn’t know where to go next after leaving this hotel to be safer. Therefore, rather than putting themselves in greater danger, it was better to stay next to a controllable danger. At least if the four of them were together, the safety of dealing with any problems would be the highest. The fact that they were all admitted to the famous Qingshui Medical University proved that none of them had low IQs, so after weighing the pros and cons, they all understood the key point.
Now that they had chosen to stay, they had to face a series of problems that might arise from Yin Suna’s second evolution together. In order to avoid the worst possible outcome, which would lead to them becoming the fresh food of a failed evolved Yin Suna, the few of them discussed and searched around for two solid steel locks for locking electric vehicles to lock Yin Suna in the center of the largest private room in the hotel, on a 2.3-meter solid wood round bed.
The solid wood was heavy and thick enough, and with the insurance of the steel lock, they would all have a chance to protect themselves no matter what happened, so they sat Sitting with peace of mind on the bohemian-style carpet next to the round bed and started playing cards.
After searching for supplies from a supermarket not far away several times, they blocked the hotel door from the inside, preparing to stay in the hotel for a few days before Yin Suna’s matter was resolved. After all, most of the scattered zombies on this street had been attracted by the previous zombie tide, so it was now relatively safe.
Especially after experiencing Shi Quan’s incident, Yan Shaohang felt that the safest choice was not to move unless necessary. Originally, they only needed to avoid zombie hordes and scattered mutated zombies, but now they had to add some mentally abnormal mutated humans. This situation made the few people truly realize what it meant to be a “mutually devouring society.”
However, seeing the abnormality that Yin Suna on the bed seemed to have her own consciousness while her eyes were closed, as if she was drumming upwards under the quilt, the few people finally witnessed the process of secondary mutation with their own eyes.
Everyone maintained the posture of holding the remaining cards in their hands, and no one moved, but their eyes were fixed on Yin Suna without blinking, as if they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
Until they saw Yin Suna’s body moving and turning in an extremely strange posture, with her body completely flipped over towards the top of her head while her hands were tied…
“I… go. Is this… Jujutsu?” The last two cards in Yan Song’s hand slipped off. Because he was too surprised, he even forgot to close his mouth after speaking.
