Section 32: Commissioning

There is a faint gray sky in Zhongjing.

The sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the clouds has lost the fearsome high temperature. The cold air desperately swallowed all the heat that could reach the ground, squeezed the golden narrow space, completely expelling the warmth with this simplest action, and replaced the domination of the hot summer with the cold and the whistling wind.

Standing in front of the dressing mirror more than two meters high and looking at himself wearing a brand new lieutenant colonel uniform, Lin Xiang felt that there was a kind of unreal illusion.

The young officer in the mirror had a very energetic, newly shaved hair, with yellow and white skin surfaces, and some fine scratches that had not yet been fully recovered. In combination with the sharp eyes emitted from his eyes, this faint melancholy temperament reduced the pretentiously deep glitz, but added some of the calmness and tenacity that was unique to men.

"It looks good, this uniform does fit very well." Qi Yue, who had a beard, walked over from behind and helped him tighten the title of lieutenant colonel on his shoulders, praising him in the tone of his elders.

His military uniform was also replaced with a new golden badge, next to a raised five-pointed star in the middle, there were two wing-shaped ears.

That is the logo of the brigade general.

Almost all officers returning from the front line were promoted, and a large number of reserve personnel also carried out training in various places. The military headquarters did not cancel the number of the 21st Army, but instead formed new troops in the shortest time based on officers with combat experience.

"This is a war of new concepts. We cannot look at new opponents with the old thinking of the past. They are not humans, but viruses that cannot be seen and conceived. They have amazing reproduction speed and powerful advantages that we can never compare to. Therefore, the experience you exchanged for life on the battlefield is the greatest wealth we have. Comrades, I ask you as a veteran, and beg you to release all the deep sorrow and anger in your heart, a hundred times, a thousand times, to all mutant creatures, so that they can truly feel our power in fear and trembling-"

This is the speech of General Lu Yulin, the chief of staff, to all officers above the warrant officer level at the promotion ceremony. The old man's angry eagle eyes, raised high above his fists with blue veins exposed above his head, and almost roaring roars, became the unforgettable oath for everyone, including Lin Xiang.

The imminent threat caused the huge machine of the Republic to burst out with unprecedentedly amazing momentum.

In just two weeks, one million regular reserve soldiers were organized into fifty combat divisions on the spot, among which the fastest-moving troops had already been deployed around the Qinling defense line.

The second batch of five million reserve troops were gathering in a tense assembly. Eighty percent of the officers drawn from military academies and basic cadres were in place. All the reserve weapons in military warehouses in various places were transported out. Military enterprises worked overtime and worked hard to make all kinds of flamethrowing equipment in accordance with the requirements of the frontline. As long as the short-term training was overtime, they would become the backbone of the army.

"We will do our best to meet all the needs of the frontline!"

This is not a slogan that stays on paper, but a real action.

Armed forces at all levels in cities, counties and districts have begun to operate in full. According to the numbers reported by various places, in addition to the first two batches of troops that have begun to be organized, the third batch of mobilized forces is at least more than 10 million. If more are needed, governments at all levels will also do their best to provide more troops.

The huge population base ensures a huge army.

The Air Force dispatches a large number of fighter jets every day to conduct regional attacks on the southwestern virus outbreak areas. Whether in rural areas or cities, once traces of mutant creatures are found, they will attract intensive saturation bombings. In the absence of judging the next target of the mutant attack, this simplest way can be used to reduce their number.

The reserves of materials in various places have entered the implementation stage. A large number of food and resources have been sealed, and countless shelters are being built. Of course, these measures are being carried out in secret, except for the central government and departments at all levels that issued the order, the people have no idea about this.

According to the latest order issued by the State Council: some regions across the country will be transferred to wartime mechanisms, and economic growth will no longer be the focus of this stage of work. Officials at all levels must step up the construction of material reserves and shelters, ensure the normal supply of food and drinking water, appease the people and block the news, which has become the current top priority.

Countless trains are running day and night on the Lanxin Line, and tens of thousands of vehicles transported astonishing amounts of materials to the sparsely populated Qaidam Basin in the shortest time. The desolate desert is becoming a new strategic location for the Republic.

The latest research results of the Academy of Military Sciences show that the r12 virus will have a considerable inert reaction in high temperatures. Strong ultraviolet rays and surface temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius can effectively inhibit their expansion and reproduction. Although it does not kill all viruses parasitic in the body, it can lead to mutant organisms slow movements and reduce aggressiveness due to insufficient parasitic degree.

At the just-concluded UN Security Council, the Chinese representatives asked all participating countries for support. This is a global biological war. Putting aside the conspiracy and reasons behind it, the spreading virus is an unimaginable and terrible disaster for the entire human race.

This is also the real reason why the headquarters urgently transferred Lin Xiang and Qi Yue back.

"Without anti-infection vaccines, we will never win this war. A large number of troops and temporary defense lines will never stop the infiltration of the virus. We must receive technical assistance from other countries, and no matter what the price we pay, we must develop corresponding biological vaccines as soon as possible. Only in this way can we have the capital to truly survive on the earth-"

In the Military Commission conference room, Lin Xiang met General Lu Yulin, who was known for his tough attitude for the first time. His eagle-like nose and deep eyes added a bit of a bit of burning hideousness to the general's stubborn face.

"You have twenty-four hours of preparation. Tomorrow at 8:00 a.m., we will take the plane to Germany with the delegation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate related issues."

Lin Xiang is very strange. Why did he put himself on the list of diplomatic escorts? He is just an ordinary soldier and has no experience in this regard.

"The German side asked us to appoint officers with experience in fighting mutant creatures to provide them with sufficient help. You are the most suitable candidate." The general explained.

Twenty-four hours, it seems very long.

The Military District Hotel is located at the foot of the beautiful West Mountain. It is far from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the dense maple forest cleverly covers the curved asphalt road. Several consecutive checkpoints and the triangle-shaped refusal blocking the middle of the road block the curious people who have no right to enter it are outside. The fully armed cold sentry and patrols who come and go around the hotel at any time add a bit of mystery to the place.

After plugging in the door pin in the room and walking into the spacious bedroom, Lin Xiang looked around every corner with alert eyes. After confirming that there was no suspicious device that could have been seen, he opened the suitcase he carried with him, took out a set of sterilized syringes, wrapped them tightly around his wrist with a towel, and stabbed the tiny sharp needle into the blood vessels that were bulging like earthworms.

The red blood of the sauce slowly pulled into the transparent needle tube. When the liquid level had just reached the 20 milliliter scale, he picked up the cotton pad that had been prepared long ago, pressed it tightly with his empty middle finger, and slowly pulled out the needle under the combined force of his thumb and index finger.

The light that penetrated outside the window shone on the wall of the tube, showing a round and dark red luster. With a cone-type sealing tube, Lin Xiang tear off a piece of white label paper and pasted it, wrote the word "No. 6" with a black carbon pen, and carefully put it into the refrigerator next to it.

These are all the mutated blood samples he collected from the battlefield. Half an hour later, the scientific research department will send a special person to take it away.

He doesn't want to become an experimental product for human research.

He also doesn't want to see more people turn into terrifying and bloodthirsty monsters.

Your own blood should be helpful in developing vaccines. Qi Yue is the best example.

It should be the safest way to provide your own blood sample in the name of obtaining the battlefield.

Zhongjing is a symbol of prosperity and civilization.

As the capital of the Republic, its profound cultural heritage and the majesty accumulated by the past dynasties make it one of the most desirable cities on the earth.

Military off-road vehicles were galloping at high speed on the outer ring road. The powerful engine and wild speed made the overwhelmed vehicles look at them one after another. The thick and sturdy tires were unscrupulously crushing the road surface and leaving with a loud roar of the engine.

Lin Xiang has sixteen hours left for personal preparation time.

He just wants to do one thing.

Go and see Ying Jia.
