Qiu Yu never does anything beyond his power. After becoming the captain in front of everyone, he pulled Harpham away. The candidates for the three new squadron leaders will be decided by these squad leaders based on their own strength.
Although Qiu Yu was quite curious about how they selected the squadron leader, there were more important things to do, and time could not be wasted due to curiosity.
"Your Excellency, Captain. Look, the car is about to leave. I have done everything I can do. Can you let me go..." Harpham's smile was as cordial as if he was chatting with a close friend of many years. .
"You just go back like this, what if you come back and cause trouble for us?"
Qiu Yu said "we" instead of "I", which surprised Harpham and secretly thought that it was true. However, Qiu Yu is willing to talk to himself about this, which means that he does not have to take his own life, "Don't worry. Now the military with guns is the boss, and we can't fight against it. And you see, I have taken the government's punishment without permission." All the fighting power I have worked so hard to obtain has been returned to you. After I go back, I will be too busy just to save my own life, so how can I come to trouble you."
Qiu Yu smiled and said, "I am being reasonable. Since it was me who made you unable to explain to the government, then I will create another opportunity for you without having to explain to them."
Harpham first thought that Qiu Yu wanted to recruit him into the army. But thinking about it more carefully, this is simply impossible. In order to ensure efficiency and stability, the army has no other military ranks or official positions except captains at all levels. The most it can give itself is a small captain. But compared with his current position in the government, what is the use of a squad leader?
"What do you mean?" Harpham couldn't guess, so he could only ask carefully.
"Do you think the zombies that invaded here were accidental?"
"Of course not. This was caused by a problem with the frontline ammunition supply." Since Qiu Yu wanted to chat, Harpham could only accompany him.
"So when do you think this problem will happen next?"
The ammunition reserve is controlled by the army. Although the government does not know how much is left, it still knows the total amount. Since ammunition supply problems can occur once, they will naturally occur a second, third, and fourth time. And as ammunition is depleted, this will only happen more and more often.
The military knows this, but for itself, the government, and humanity, it can only continue according to its prior plan. The government also knows this, but this is both a granary and an important entrance to the refuge. Even if it is unwilling, it must put the only power it has in its hands here. However, they had no intention of putting themselves here. Therefore, a group of government officials who knew how dangerous this place was would use the bizarre method of drawing lots to get out of here.
Since Qiu Yu talked about this issue that shouldn't be discussed, Harpham had no choice but to tell the truth based on his guess, "Before I came, the military and the government had held emergency consultations and adjusted the ammunition supply method. The government should also take action. Hand over the few reserves you have. If the intensity of the zombie attack remains unchanged, we can last at least two days."
Qiu Yu smiled and said, "That's right. Since I was originally expected to last for two days, but it turned out that I couldn't even last for half a day... When you go back tomorrow, no one will be in the mood to trouble you."
"What do you mean?" Harpham couldn't control his emotions for the first time.
"According to my intelligence sources, the intensity of zombie attacks will increase significantly early tomorrow morning. If the response is not good, not only will there be holes in the defense line, but the entire defense line will collapse completely."
Tomorrow morning will naturally be the third difficulty increase.
"Your information? Where did it come from?" Harpham asked in surprise.
Qiu Yu avoided this question, "The first time the zombies changed was in the early morning five days ago, and the second time was in the early morning two days ago. This is obviously a three-day cycle. So the next change It's probably just a few hours away."
Qiu Yu's words were like a breeze blowing away the fog of Harpham's thinking.
After a few seconds of confusion, Harpham suddenly shouted, "How is it possible? Why didn't we think of such a simple thing before? No, we have to report this matter quickly."
The unexpected reason is, of course, the game’s control over intelligence. If Qiu Yu said these words to an ordinary person, or if the N75 Building spoke from the perspective of a hero to the aborigines under its control, they would immediately believe it. But if you speak to the entire government and military as an ordinary person, or even as a squad leader, the effect will only be to play the piano to others. Because the game will not let you use this important information that you know from the beginning as cabbage and directly throw it out to change the trends of the entire government.
If you want to unlock their information about the time period of zombie evolution, you must have an identity that you can speak to. Of course, at the level of the entire government, the status of a captain is not enough. But in a shelter, there are only ten...just eleven captains, the highest level besides the captain. If you advance to another level, it won't be a matter of being able to speak, but of giving orders directly.
Qiu Yu couldn't let him talk nonsense. While Harpham reported on the wired phone, Qiu Yu monitored the whole process and from time to time guided him on how to express himself.
But the final effect was not satisfactory. It’s not that the people in the shelter don’t believe it, it’s just that after they believe it, there’s not much they can do.
After all, this is the reason why Qiu Yu's current status is only enough to unlock one shelter. Neither he nor the people in the shelter could tell the higher-ups about this information controlled by the game.
So what can a shelter do? Send more troops? All troops are on the front line. Provide more and better weapons and equipment? This is what has always been done. Shrink the front? The other regiments are still holding on to their positions. Once you run away, you don't have to wait until night. Within two hours, the entire front will collapse.
Of course, it cannot be said that the intelligence unlocking of a single shelter this time is completely useless. At least the few hundred militiamen who were resting were fully mobilized and armed. The officials were prepared to take the subway and flee to other shelters at any time. Perhaps, there are also preparations to detonate certain shelter exits.
"Your Excellency Captain, with this information, I no longer worry about what trouble I will encounter when I go back, so can I leave now?"
"Go?" Qiu Yu looked at him with a smile, "Do you plan to walk these dozens of kilometers back?"
"The tram..." Harpham slowly raised his hand and glanced at his watch that kept shaking, "Ah, has it left already? Oh, it doesn't matter. The doctor said I lacked exercise. I walked back along the subway. Just in time for exercise.”
Harpham was going back anyway.
Following Qiu Yu made him frightened on the one hand. But since Qiu Yu has kept him alive for so long and told him so many things, the possibility of killing him again is extremely slim. What really worries him is that if zombies kill here at night, and the place cannot be defended, and those guys in the shelter blow up the subway out of fear, then there is no doubt that they will be dead.
"With your walking distance, you want to walk dozens of kilometers on the subway before dawn? Aren't you afraid of being buried alive?"
"It makes sense." Harpham's ability to accept is quite strong. "I called and asked them to bring the subway back to pick me up."
"You didn't tell me earlier. After you made that phone call just now, the subway train should have been used for other purposes."
"Ahhhh..."
Because Harpham is smart, he doesn't need to explain many things clearly. As long as Qiuyu is a little bit, he has automatically completed the brainstorming of all situations.
"Stop screaming, we are not dead yet. Maybe we will be safer than the people in the shelter."
Harpham looked at Qiu Yu in confusion.
"Are you interested in going to the edge of the farmland with me?"
These words made Harpham jump up immediately, "No, no, it's more dangerous there than here."
"Why?"
"Uh...yeah, why?"
Qiu Yu dragged him towards the parking lot, "Just think hard. If you still can't remember it when you get in the car, you have to come with me to see it with your own eyes."
The result is obvious. With the limitations of the game's power, it is naturally impossible for Harpham to think of it. And if he wants to make up something casually to fool Qiu Yu, his level is really far behind.
A minute later, Harpham was put into the car by Qiu Yu. Ten minutes later, Qiu Yu took him to the wall of white mist.
Parking the car more than ten meters away from the wall of white mist, Qiu Yu lifted out Harpham, who was curled up on the seat with his head in his arms, pointed at the white mist and said, "What did you see?"
After a brief period of confusion, not only did Harpham not think of anything, but his fear became much lighter, "Are there any mysteries about some trees?"
His reaction was quite unusual. Judging from the experience of unlocking all the way, what is blocked by the aborigines is only information. If they can't remember it, they can't remember it. Whatever they can remember, that's it. Judging from Harpham's previous fear of the fringe, it wouldn't be surprising to Qiu Yu that he would disappear immediately as soon as he arrived here.
But the current situation is really unreasonable.
Could it be that in order to prevent the Aboriginal people from leaving the city, their fear was just a piece of false intelligence. Now that I have come here and dispelled the false information, I am no longer afraid?
"Go to the front and have a look."
Although it was unlikely, Qiu Yu had to prevent Harpham from deceiving himself with his acting skills. But Harpham walked over with curiosity on his face, and then entered the white mist without any hindrance.
"Come back." Qiu Yu was really afraid that he would just leave and never come back.
"What are you doing?" Harpham's ugly face emerged from the white mist again.
In Qiu Yu's perception, the white mist was actively avoiding him.
"I'll come with you."
While talking, Qiu Yu walked to Harpham's side. Then, he clearly felt that the power that caused the white mist to circulate was transmitted from his body and covered his body.
And it's not just about being able to enter the white mist. As long as they followed Harpham closely, wherever the two of them passed, the white fog seemed to be completely dispersed, and a fog-free zone of several meters in diameter appeared. The surrounding white mist is still there, but it no longer fills back into this area.
To put it more intuitively, it is like two soldiers in a strategy game, eliminating the fog of war covering the map.
After walking for nearly a hundred meters, Harpham didn't appear to have any abnormalities. On the contrary, Qiu Yu gradually felt the dangerous aura. It was faint at first, but the closer I got to the tree Harpham was talking about, the stronger the feeling of danger became.
When the first touch of green leaves appeared in the sight of the retreating white mist, Qiu Yu suddenly grabbed Harpham. Because of the excessive force, the nails were almost embedded in his arms, making him howl in pain.
But before Harpham could protest, Qiu Yu gritted his teeth and asked, "Can you tell me again, all you see are trees?"
Harpham looked around for a long time without confidence, and then said carefully, "There are also some weeds, shrubs, etc. Anyway, they are all things that should be found in the forest."
At this moment, Qiu Yu was so startled by the word "forest" that he took several steps back.
