In the past three hours, after experiencing Zhang Chi's careful care, Tom's condition finally improved.
The reason why she was so eager to talk to Tom at the beginning was entirely because of Qi Zhen's evil intentions, trying to get as much information as possible while Tom was weak. In essence, she was taking advantage of others' danger.
Naturally, he had gotten the information he wanted and had Tom relieved himself. Qi Zhen would naturally give him enough time to recover and rest.
In these three hours, Tom was finally able to tell all the information he had intermittently.
Qi Zhen's judgment was correct. The Allied forces were now losing ground on the front line.
The main reason is the virus developed by the Germans.
The virus developed by the Germans is very powerful and highly infectious and contagious.
The most critical point is that once these viruses infect ordinary soldiers, they will become mindless monsters.
Of course, judging from the perception of everyone in the team, they are zombies.
These ordinary soldiers who become zombies will become extremely powerful and not afraid of bullets. It seems that in their spiritual world, only the most violent attack instinct is left.
Just like Qi Zhen said, once these people are infected by the virus, the virus's invasion process is irreversible. The infected people will die soon, and then they will be like puppets of the virus and start killing indiscriminately without recognizing their relatives.
Their main method of attack is to spit out dark purple venom from their mouths. These venoms are extremely contagious and will cause rapid infection once they come into contact with the body. However, they will quickly evaporate into gas in the air and do no harm to the body.
But this does not mean that these zombies cannot use weapons. They will still use the firearms in their hands to attack, but they still seem to prefer the power of venom to bullets.
The only good news is that these soldiers who were turned into zombies don't seem to be thinking very well, and their movement speed has become very slow.
But the way to kill them is also very strange. Their heads must be smashed to completely stop them. But fortunately, their heads will become very crispy after being infected by the virus, just like what the team just did. That way.
At the beginning, the Allied forces had no experience in dealing with this virus, which resulted in the entire battalion being killed by the virus.
After paying the price of an entire regiment, the Allies finally found a way to deal with this virus. Of course, it was also the most helpless way. If the infected people realize that they are infected, they must kill themselves.
Of course, the vast majority of people do not have this courage, so they can only be sent away by their comrades when symptoms of infection appear.
This still could not stop the power of the virus from causing great panic within the Allied forces.
However, the Allies gradually discovered that the internal inventory of this biochemical virus in the German army was actually very limited, and it was not completely released on the battlefield.
The Allies had not thought of collecting this virus for analysis, but they were helpless to find that this virus would dissipate quickly once exposed to the air, and they had no way to store this virus in other ways. They once wanted to extract this virus from infected corpses, but found that once these things meet human tissue, they will be synthesized very quickly into something that no one can understand.
That's why this time there will be two seemingly undesirable but extremely related tasks carried out by the Qi Zhen team and the material transport team.
The Qi Zhen team is responsible for searching for pathogens in the enemy's laboratory, while the team that is nominally escorting communication supplies is to ensure that physical isolation protective clothing is delivered to the frontline soldiers.
In fact, after the Allied forces became accustomed to the enemy's virus delivery methods, they had gradually adapted to this new way of fighting and held their positions.
From the perspective of the overall environment, the offensive and defensive momentum of both sides has not changed much.
It wasn't until the emergence of those biochemical soldiers that the Allies realized that these viruses were not just weapons used by the Germans to deal with themselves, but also weapons used to strengthen their own soldiers.
I don’t know what method the Germans used to allow the German soldiers to maintain their consciousness while still retaining the powerful bodies of those zombies.
It was at this time that the Allies finally realized why the Germans did not completely release the virus into the Allied defensive positions.
The offensive and defensive momentum was instantly reversed.
The Allies began to switch from offense to defense. After all, war is a human war, and weapons and equipment are ultimately determined by people.
A young child holding a Heavenly Sword will never be more powerful than an adult holding a broom.
Moreover, once the masks on the faces of the Germans are removed, or the stabilizer behind them cannot be inhaled into the body, no matter whether these people are dead or alive at the moment, they will fall into the terrifying process of becoming zombies at an extremely fast speed.
Under the circumstances, the Allied forces began to retreat steadily.
Qi Zhen's mission is equally important as Tom's.
Everyone in the team listened to Tom's story with solemn expressions, and the level of danger in their hearts regarding this mission increased several times.
"I tend to think that the enemy happened to know the news about our delivery of supplies. After all, for the Germans, so much communication supplies are enough for them to send such an elite team to sneak attack." Tom said.
Qi Zhen nodded, but she didn't think so in her heart. She was afraid that this was deliberately arranged by the system. The purpose was naturally to let everyone in the team know about the upcoming mission and the dilemma the Allied Forces were facing now.
"Where have the Allied forces retreated to now?" Wang Jianguo suddenly asked a question that no one was destined to know the answer to.
"Let's assume that we will encounter enemies every step we take from now on," Qi Zhen said.
After Liang Sicheng's emergency repairs, a dilapidated transport truck was finally patched together, but it looked a little miserable.
The original roof at the rear of the car had been smashed into rags by stones, and only a bucket was left in the rear carriage. The fence on one side was also deformed by stones.
The two wheel wheels at the front of the car were still intact, but the tires at the back were all damaged. Thanks to the fact that there were still a few tires on the car behind, they could barely be replaced.
The machine cover on the front of the truck had long been deformed. This broken truck looked like it could only be sent to the yard for scrapping. The moment the engine roared, Liang Sicheng almost burst into tears.
"It's not easy!" he sighed.
The team hit the road again, but this time the person escorting the car in the passenger seat was Wang Jianguo.
Tom lay on the back of the car. His injuries were not healed yet, and he had a headache and could hardly stand up.
Even so, he was still very concerned about the safety of the protective materials. It was not until Qi Zhen performed an incredible magic trick in front of him that he finally felt relieved.
After walking three kilometers ahead, the team finally saw the sun outside for a long time and left the extremely depressing mountain stream.
No enemies were encountered along the way, but everyone in the team no longer had the same mentality as before. Everyone was very alert and ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The fact is that when you are fully prepared, the crisis will not come as expected. Until the team saw the city of Perugia, no trace of the enemy was found.
If Italy were not split into two parts, then Perugia would be considered the most central city in Italy.
Perugia, located on a hilly landscape, has a rich history. It was one of the first 12 Etruscan cities, named Perusia. The ancient city walls they built in BC still stand. In the fourth century BC, the Romans conquered the Etruscan civilization and occupied the city-state. But then, as Roman civilization declined and changed, the city swayed between independence and papal rule.
It was not until 1540 that the Pope sent troops to suppress Perugia, completely declared sovereignty over the city, and built the huge Paulina Castle. From then on, Perugia became part of the Papal State. It was not until 1860 that Perugia and the entire Umbria region joined the Kingdom of Italy.
Perugia is almost the same distance from Rome in the south and Florence in the north. It is a veritable mountain city. On the high ground of the city, you can overlook the middle reaches of the Tiber River Valley and Lake Trasimeno.
When everyone in the team came here, they felt a little friendly. After thinking about it carefully, they found that the architectural layout here was somewhat similar to that of Chongqing, but the altitude was much lower than that of Chongqing.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw this tattered truck, they thought the team had suffered some serious disaster. They were shocked and thought, how could such a tattered truck be able to move?
After verifying everyone's identities, a group of Allied soldiers took everyone into the city and went straight to the Allied headquarters.
After meeting the top officer stationed here, the two sides chatted about the mission.
People here in Perugia naturally knew what was happening on the front line, so Qi Zhen did not hide anything about the German virus. It was just that their mission was difficult to explain, but Tom's mission could not be explained, so the team could only say that it was a mission related to the enemy virus. , not revealing much.
The commander was obviously an old man. He didn't dig into the details. Instead, he arranged for Tom's examination and treatment as quickly as possible, and promised to provide a new transport vehicle to cooperate with the team's mission.
We already have a team of drivers, so we won’t bother the other party.
Everyone in the team was not in the mood to enjoy the delicious food here. After dark, they took a rest early and waited for departure the next day.
Tom did not clearly state the deadline of the mission, but considering the seriousness of the current situation, it would be a good thing to arrive at the front line one day early, so everyone felt a little anxious.
If it weren't for Tom's serious injury and his strong demand to participate in the entire mission, Qi Zhen and the others would even want to march overnight.
