The staff officer continued: "Among the three hundred skeletons, the majority are sword-wielding skeletons and bow-wielding skeletons, while a small number are sword-and-shield skeletons."
"We currently judge that these skeletons are the source of new recruits for the Skeleton Man. We speculate that there is a secret to the Skeleton Man in this stadium, perhaps related to the huge coffin with the huge roar."
"After the skeleton soldiers came out of here, they immediately rushed to the previous encirclement and increased the density of patrols."
"Not only were our intelligence personnel unable to enter from the ground, but even after the human bird in the air barely entered one kilometer, it was immediately attacked by skeletons holding bows. Moreover, the human bird found that the large number of skeletons holding bows around them seemed to share the same mind. , quickly surrounded the people from all directions."
The staff officer said worriedly: "If it weren't for the defensive teleportation props carried by Renque, I'm afraid."
After Qin Youde heard this, he felt his temples hurt even more. He said slowly: "In other words, the skeleton man's strength increased overnight."
"No!"
"Only six hours!"
"They just increased from more than 200 skeletons to 500 people???"
Qin Youde's voice seemed a little heavy.
He never underestimated the Skrulls' war potential.
From the very beginning when Qin Youde received the report from the Kaifu Temple observation point, he knew deeply that Qi Lin had unimaginable war potential!
But now it seems that the Skeleton Man's war potential far exceeds his expectations.
The staff officer nodded and agreed: "Yes, its war potential exceeds the original assessment!"
"But this is also good news, indicating that the skeletons' demand for defensive equipment will greatly increase!"
"Perhaps our recruitment policy can start from this area, and catering to their liking may just scratch their itch."
"Secondly, there is one point in the news reported by Renque that deserves our utmost attention."
The staff officer paused and continued: "First of all, during the cross-patrol of skeletons, we sent special personnel to sneak in to check the situation, but they were immediately surrounded by skeletons who seemed to have turned on radar surveillance after entering about one kilometer.
Later, Manque sneaked in from the air. One kilometer after Manque entered the encirclement, he was immediately restrained in place by unknown means and could not control his body for a moment. Then, the bow-wielding skeleton launched an attack, and his defensive items took effect immediately. , and transmitted. "
"We have been studying this restraint method, but so far we still have no clue."
The military only knows one of the ghost's earth-binding methods but doesn't know the other.
They only know that the skeletons have the evil wind that binds people in place.
But whether it is equipment or props, they are still analyzing it at the moment.
The staff officer rubbed his eyebrows and continued: "What worries us the most is this communication method."
"Before the teleportation prop was activated, Human Bird saw a large number of bow-wielding skeletons in the distance and quickly surrounded him with him as the center!"
"The skeleton seems to have the ability to unify the thoughts of all skeletons! I even guess that the skeleton can convert the thoughts of all skeletons into the same person!"
"Such a unified means of communication and dispatch could not have been so fast even in the information-based war era before the disaster!"
"Although it is currently impossible to know its specific operations, where the command and dispatch information platform is, and whether the coverage area is ten kilometers or more, we must increase our efforts to pay attention to this point."
After the staff officer finished speaking, Qin Youde's frown deepened.
Everyone else was also deep in thought, and the sound of pindrops could be heard throughout the room.
Before the catastrophe, the emergence of information warfare strengthened or even broke the hierarchy of mechanized warfare.
Information, the main change in the information-based combat model is the change in the information system. This system connects the enemy's situation on the battlefield, the composition of the troops, the configuration of weapons and equipment, and technical means such as communication and positioning.
Every soldier, every tank, every artillery piece, and every combat aircraft on the battlefield can be linked together and unified into command structures at all levels. Through the electronic map, you can know at a glance the progress, speed, and speed of the front. Casualties, strike effects, damage assessment, ammunition consumption, material reserves, etc. are quickly displayed.
Make the battlefield transparent, so that every soldier knows the enemy situation, terrain, and combat tasks they face. Such a battlefield is simply a dreamlike start for Tianhu.
And this is exactly the demonstration of the information combat mode.
Operations under information-based conditions are to link the lowest-level combat units with the highest-level command structures. The entire battlefield forms a three-dimensional operation of land, sea, air, space, electricity, and network vertically to the bottom, horizontally to the sides, and up and down and left and right. Network, the basis of this network is information synthesis, linking them through the network.
But after the catastrophe, all human information technology has become ineffective.
The military doesn't know why this is, and the only guess is that it's the damn fog.
Although the commander has predicted that among the six major modules in the future, one module is to replace informatization and unify global theater communications, deployment and cooperation.
However, the use of that kind of module requires consuming some kind of precious one-time props, and cannot be used regularly, and can only be used for major events.
Before this module appeared, the military only had a few Class A teams equipped with communication equipment purchased from merchants, which could communicate and cooperate at a certain distance.
However, this kind of communication and cooperation is still limited by a certain distance, and may even be delayed and interfered with.
In the original estimates of these staff members, so what if there were more skeletons?
After finding the mechanic, weapons of mass destruction appeared in batches, which were the natural enemies of these skeletons.
But the effect of real-time dispatch shown by the skeletons tonight made the staff instantly silent.
How can we fight if we mobilize our troops so quickly?
This mysterious method is simply not something they can rely on to conduct deductions and counterattack plans based on the current information.
A large number of skeletons actually surrounded the same target at the same time?
Does that mean that these skeletons can go deep into the enemy's rear in a piecemeal manner and spread all over the place, causing their preset plan of large-scale fire coverage to fail?
For a time, the new discoveries allowed the staff to overturn all the previously planned countermeasures for the Skeletons.
Qi Lin's powerful combat potential and mysterious means of real-time dispatch made everyone in the room silent for a long time.
This is no longer a matter of one plus one being greater than two.
A staff officer whispered: "If we can't absorb cooperation or control it as soon as possible."
"It's a really big threat."
"After all, as long as there are corpses, the skeletons can continuously recruit new soldiers."
"And these soldiers can continue to evolve like the Chosen Ones!"
"You can also recover injuries and evolve through the same kind!!!"
"This war potential is really worrying!"
"And the source of his body."
The staff officer sighed. Halfway through his words, everyone in the room understood what he meant.
Where did the body come from?
It is obvious that compared to demon species, humans are undoubtedly a better channel to obtain a large number of corpses.
"We can't just sit back and watch him grow up and take the initiative!" A staff officer gritted his teeth and said sincerely to Qin Youde.
"Don't say such words again!" Qin Youde immediately looked at the staff officer in a warning tone after hearing this.
So far, nothing the skeletons have done has shown any ill will toward the human camp.
And there are enough corpses in the city now, and the permanent population of South Zhili has reached more than 10 million!
Seventy percent of the zombies in the early stages of the disaster were transformed into beasts, and humans in the mist accounted for a large proportion of the seventy miles.
After the remaining proportion is distributed to the cities, and some people who died after the disaster are removed, the large number of corpses is currently enough for the skeletons to consume.
Qin Youde was not worried that the skeleton would immediately swing his sword at his fellow clan members.
Although the reason why the other party has not been in contact with the military has made him think deeply and still can't find the answer.
However, Qin Youde believes that if there is no benefit, if the military does not actively provoke the opponent, and if there are enough corpses, the skeleton will never swing his sword at humans!
That would not do him any good, it would only harm him!
Moreover, the demonic tide is coming. This huge time bomb is believed to be able to unite him into the military tank.
Qin Youde's attitude towards the skeletons is very clear. First, he should try to find the reason why the other party does not contact his side, and then solve this reason and recruit the skeletons to fight side by side with the military!
The second is to do our best to provide the other party with the materials they need, including but not limited to magic defense armor and other equipment.
The third is to minimize all negative remarks about the skeletons within the scope of military control.
Sometimes, if you say too many bad things about the other person, then maybe the other person really doesn't have any scruples about what he does.
Qin Youde didn't want the skeleton man to completely turn to the magic recipe because of this.
But in the eyes of many military personnel, Qin Youde's approach was undoubtedly too lax.
Some extreme people even say: You are seeking the skin of a tiger!
By the time the tiger bites your head, it will be too late!
We are the military!
We are in charge!
If you can't even control a chosen one, then let this Nanzhili just let him do the talking!
Intentionally or unintentionally, there are all kinds of words.
But Qin Youde still insisted on his opinion.
The reason is simple: the military has so far not found the location of the skeleton.
The only guess is that there may be three skeletons sitting in Qi Lin's three coffin-like supply trucks.
And the oversized coffin that makes a shrill roar.
But that's just a guess. No one has ever seen the skeleton with his own eyes. Is the skeleton sitting inside and drinking blood?
In Qin Youde's opinion, as long as he cannot find the skeleton man's body, he will not have the idea of 'killing the tiger'.
After all, if you don't kill a snake, you will suffer its backlash!
Fortunately, with the strong support of the commander, Qin Youde suppressed all kinds of voices and still adhered to the basic strategy of observing, analyzing, and making friends with Qi Lin.
After Qin Youde pondered for a moment, he pointed at the red circle in the encirclement and asked, "What's here? Demonic species? Or something else?"
He has been wandering on the front lines these days, and only the Class A squad can fight against those powerful demon species.
If you leave the Class A team, even if the soldiers on the front line have the help of special bullets, they still cannot effectively injure those monsters with strange abilities.
The staff officer thought for a while, took a stack of paper from the table next to the sand table, flipped it over and said, "Yes."
"According to intelligence, a group of bat-like demons once moved towards the encirclement, and their route happened to overlap with the encirclement."
Another staff officer continued: "We once assumed that maybe the encirclement was to target the bat demon species, but later we felt that this possibility was unlikely, because the skeletons holding fire bows were very powerful, and the skeletons did not need to fight for it. It has such a large array, and according to Dr. Zhan’s demon species analysis report, the main ability of the bat-type demon species should be sonic."
After the staff member finished talking about the speculation that overthrowing the siege of the skeletons was for the demon species.
The staff officer who had been flipping the paper stopped, looked up at Qin Youde, and said slowly: "There may be an armored transport team inside. The captain's name is Zhen Haoren, with the rank of lieutenant. He was a soldier six years before the disaster. , his resume is very mediocre and he has no meritorious performance, but I read the evaluations of him by the grassroots officers and soldiers, and the unanimous answer is: a warm-hearted and good person, and a competent and outstanding grassroots officer."
"After the catastrophe, he was assigned to your command to assist in combat operations. During yesterday's break, due to the shortage of troops, he was urgently assigned to transport Dr. Zhan's latest invention, the magic polyp." The staff member stopped talking after saying this.
Qin Youde closed his eyes and said slowly, "It's him!"
"I remember him. I once gave him the experience of a corpse beast. He didn't want it. He said it was good steel and should be used on the blade. Then he turned around to save people. He didn't know that my level was too high to pass. He gained experience from the corpse beast, and later the corpse beast was given to his vice-captain."
"When I was sleeping in a bomb crater with his team, I chatted with him and learned that he was an orphan and his only girlfriend also died before the disaster."
"His dream is to hope that the world will get better and that our military flag will fill this land again."
"I once asked him that the demon species is very strong and many people are not optimistic about the world. Maybe our country will no longer exist in the future."
Qin Youde opened his eyes and smiled slowly: "He said, it doesn't matter, just build it brick by brick!"
"His vice-captain seemed to have a lot of complaints against the skeletons. Later, he learned that his brother had handed over a magic ring. Because of the lack of this ring, he died in the mouth of the corpse beast."
Qin Youde slowly looked at the encirclement and said softly: "They are great young men. I hope the skeletons didn't do anything to them."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The staff officer frowned and shouted: "Come in!"
The door opened, and a soldier stood at the door and saluted with a snap, then quickly stepped forward and handed an intelligence book to the staff officer, and then left,
The staff officer flipped through the pages of his notebook, his frown deepening as he flipped through the pages.
After reading it, the staff officer said to Qin Youde: "The latest information is that all three teams transporting the magic polyps have lost contact!"
"Except for the situation of the convoy in the circle surrounded by skeletons, the other two convoys were attacked, and everyone in the transport team was killed."
"All the demon polyps in the eight steel boxes of the two convoys have disappeared."
"Through on-site judgment, one convoy was suspected of being attacked by patrolling bats, and the other convoy seemed to be man-made."
"Although no bullet casings were left at the scene, judging from the warheads extracted from nearby buildings, they appear to be red bullets specially made by the Demon Seed Research Institute."
Qin Youde's frown deepened.
The magic polyp is the masterpiece of Dr. Zhan.
After Qi Lin encountered the businessman for the second time, the update of Blossoms 2.0 allowed Lieutenant Xu to be favored by the goddess of luck again.
Lieutenant Xu, who was extremely lucky, seized the opportunity and rushed Dr. Zhan back to the military headquarters.
And what Dr. Zhan did after entering the Demon Seed Research Institute was indeed worthy of the death of so many people trying to save him.
After carrying three pots of hot water and a box of instant noodles into the closed laboratory, Dr. Zhan worked hard day and night to study the magic polyp.
The initial development goal of this man-made product was to accelerate the evolution of demon species controlled by the military and to obtain more biological materials and experience for armed soldiers.
But Dr. Zhan took a different approach, and after repeated attempts, he incorporated biological materials from demonic species such as blood vine, ghost bite, and blood bud.
The demon polyp that can lure regular demon species to eat and at the same time poison regular demon species was born!
This kind of poisoning has been tested and its principle is to speed up the evolutionary chain.
This kind of evolution is extremely unstable and will cause irreparable genetic collapse to the demon species.
At least in the military's tests on the highest-level sub-level demon species that could be captured, the effect was outstanding.
The demon species ate the demon polyps as if going crazy, and then their flesh and blood disintegrated like a corpse beast and died.
After exhausting all materials, the military only developed twelve boxes of demon polyps and dispatched three transport teams to escort them.
This is also one of Qin Youde's compensations for collecting materials previously.
Qin Youde thought about it quickly and raised his hand to interrupt the staff officer: "Okay, that's it for now. Don't say any more."
The staff officer's eyes suddenly opened, but seeing Qin Youde's stern expression, he said no more.
