Darkness is Coming

   "Here is the general manager, reporting the situation."

   "The report stated that five short-range surface-to-surface missiles were observed from the enemy, and the bombing point was estimated to be the location of the ground artillery regiment. The Awakened team led by Falcon Ash is trying to intercept it."

   The real-time battle report order sent back by the front-line command worried everyone in the command room of the Corpse Commander. Although it had been expected, no one had any confidence that the Awakened Squad would be able to successfully intercept the mutant biological missiles.

   Two seconds later, a violent explosion occurred in mid-air, and the front finger sent back a good news: "The general report indicates that our department successfully intercepted the enemy's short-range missiles, whether to launch a counterattack immediately, please indicate!"

   With the help of Awakeners with different abilities, the front finger and the ground artillery group can determine the precise direction of the missile launched by the other party with this artillery shot, and they are still within the range of the ground artillery group.

Dozens of eyes in the command room turned to the main seat in the center of the room. There was a person sitting on the high-back chair like a mountain. The cup of tea just brewed in the porcelain cup at hand was fragrant. He shook his head slightly and said, "No need, All stand by."

  No one dared to say that Commander Liu had a bad attitude, and he still had the leisure to make tea when he was commanding the battle. Because until now, the battle situation seems to have been following the script written by Commander Liu. Although some troops made heavy sacrifices and were even disabled, the results in return were extremely rich.

   Yang Xiaoqian, who was sitting beside Liu Yuanzhou, was expressionless, but his eyes were full of doubts. Perhaps because he knew so little about modern warfare, Yang Xiaoqian felt in a trance that the game between the two sides that dominated the war was beyond his ability.

   Aside from this depressing feeling, there is one more thing entangled in Yang Xiaoqian's heart.

Prior to this, it was not that the search force had not searched the sewers, but the search force found nothing, and it was difficult to accommodate hundreds of thousands of zombies and mutants by virtue of the sewers of the far river. Coupled with the inertial thinking, the investigators had no idea about zombies and mutants. Cognition is still in its infancy, so no one thought that zombies would hide underground.

   However, it is normal for others to not think of it, but Liu Yuanzhou should not think of it.

The zombies in the Nanyan District and other black areas have disappeared. This happened more than a month ago at most, but it is necessary to rely on the underground pipeline system through the cone-arm variant to dig out a tunnel leading to the Xinyuan River, which can accommodate dozens of The underground passage of the corpse tide can never be completed within a month or two.

   In other words, the plan for mutants should have already started, and it was not until after the completion of the excavation of the underground passage more than a month ago that a way was found to gradually transport zombies and mutants into the underground passage.

   This is a huge project, and it is impossible to leave no trace. As long as he leaves a little clue and information, Liu Yuanzhou will be able to restore it through his God's perspective.

   However, looking at the reactions of the others, it didn't seem like he had been informed in advance. Only Liu Yuanzhou could keep his composure, but he had always been that expressionless poker face. His unusual calmness made people feel normal.

   But Yang Xiaoqian has his own doubts. The need to rebuild the sewage system of Xinyuanjiang is a problem that has been exposed for a long time, but Liu Yuanzhou has not been able to solve it.

  When Jiang Haichao was in power, Yang Xiaoqian thought it was because Jiang Haichao made things difficult for Liu Yuanzhou so that Liu Yuanzhou did not have enough energy to consider issues such as urban sewage, but now Yang Xiaoqian thinks otherwise.

Maybe Liu Yuanzhou already knew where the zombies and mutants were, but he pretended not to know, to show the enemy's weakness, lure the enemy to go deep, and let the mutants hiding in the dark gather all the mutants and zombies together. , all over the place.

   Yang Xiaoqian knew that Liu Yuanzhou's attitude was firmer than himself when it came to exterminating zombies and mutants, so it would not be surprising if he would make such a choice.

   But, why do it? If there is no dome, it is understandable, because no matter how carefully the work of eliminating zombies and mutants is done, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net. Only by letting them all jump out can ensure that no one leaks. But now there is a dome that separates the inside and outside, and neither the zombies or mutants in Yuanjiang City can get away, so there is no need to rush the war against the corpse.

  Compared to gradually recovering the far river, letting the mutants pull up an army of zombies and then a large-scale decisive battle will add countless casualties out of thin air.

   And the team of plumbers... If you know that the zombie army is underground, you deliberately send a team of plumbers and soldiers to reopen the city's sewers at this time, isn't that sending them to death?

  Why do this?

   Yang Xiaoqian glanced at Liu Yuanzhou from the corner of his eye, thinking: Maybe it's to confuse mutants? Let this zombie army approach by digging the tunnel, they are likely to dig directly into the inner city of Xinyuan River and burst out, but directly exposing it will make the mutant commander suspicious, so such a "coincidence" is deliberately arranged?

   This can cost countless innocent lives!

   Could it be that Liu Yuanzhou has now become a person who will do anything to achieve his goals and consume human life as a number? Yang Xiaoqian once heard a saying that the supreme commander in command of a war must always stand from an absolutely rational point of view, treat his subordinates as inanimate chess pieces and figures, and consume them ruthlessly. In order to win the chance to win, so as to sacrifice a small number of people to win the war, and virtually save more people.

   But Yang Xiaoqian does not agree with this statement. On this point, Yang Xiaoqian agrees with Xiao Zhou's idea: no one should play the role of a **** and decide the life and death of others. In Yang Xiaoqian's cognition, Liu Yuanzhou is definitely not such a person, otherwise Yang Xiaoqian would not choose to cooperate with Liu Yuanzhou from the beginning, and the cooperative relationship between the two parties would not last for so long.

   "Yang Xiaoqian, don't think too much." Liu Yuanzhou, who was not looking sideways, suddenly said something, causing Yang Xiaoqian to turn his head sharply.

The old smoker Geng Zhiping who was sitting on the side continued: "Yeah, don't think too much, it's not your fault. If you want me to say that you did the right thing, if you didn't send the people from Jiangxin Island before, we would If you have to divide your troops into two places, those mutants may be able to be defeated one by one. You have also seen that ghost-like short-range biological missile. The mutants have the strength to hit Jiangxin Island. Instead of running on both sides when it arrives, it is better to cooperate Soldiers, fight them to the end!"

Geng Zhiping, who had always had a bad attitude towards Yang Xiaoqian in the past, finally changed his mind towards Yang Xiaoqian recently. Seeing Yang Xiaoqian's gloomy expression at this time, he thought he was blaming himself. After hearing Liu Yuanzhou's words "Don't think too much", he naturally took over. To comfort Yang Xiaoqian.

   "Hmm." Yang Xiaoqian's heart was numb, and he just answered, without explaining, and then turned to other topics, "Now that they are in their position, don't let the ground artillery bombard them?"

   "The shells are precious, and there are other uses." Liu Yuanzhou replied calmly, "As for those mutants, there are other arrangements."

  ………………

  Yuanjiang International Airport, the long-dark control tower lights up again, and a team of soldiers quietly set off, taking advantage of the cover of the night to embark on a final journey without repercussions.
