The first time Huang Quan saw the officer, he felt that this guy must be very lazy. There was no place on his body that was clean. The second glance made him dispel his previous guess. This officer's uniform was very dirty, but he was not. To be exact, this guy was very good at taking care of himself. His hair was neat, his sideburns were neat, and even his beard was shaved cleanly.
This officer was not old, only 245 years old, about the same age as Huang Quan. As a captive, he did not have the fear and depression that a captive should have. Seeing Huang Quan walking towards him, he pursed his lips and smiled. He stood at the same place with his hands crossed over his abdomen as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
Before Yomi could even open his mouth, the officer spoke first, "Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you.
"I'm Luo Junshan, the deputy commander of New Era Asia's 9th Division. You can call me Xiao Shan …"
Since Luo Junshan had behaved openly and magnanimously, Huang Quan would not lower himself. He nodded at him and invited him to a private office at the side. Not far behind them, more than twenty evolvers were being carried out on stretchers. They did not seem to have suffered any fatal injuries. Two Silver Flower Cultivators had their hands on their heads as they were herded to one side and closely monitored.
"I used to be an ordinary company employee. However, behind my company is the predecessor organization of New Era. If I want to live well in this chaotic world, I have to rely on the company's strength and resources …
As for how big New Era is, we don't know. As far as I know, in Asia, New Era has 12 corps, each with at least 3,000 people. They are well-equipped, have outstanding logistics, and have a strong ability to deliver goods …
I'm taking the initiative to tell you this because the 9th Division was almost completely wiped out. Even if I'm lucky enough to return, I'll die a more miserable death. I hope that after I'm done, you can give me a … "
Luo Junshan didn't seem to have any hope of surviving. He told Yomi everything about New Era's strongholds in Hubei. Yomi didn't even need to ask. Yomi didn't say anything. He quickly recorded everything in his notebook. Everything Luo Junshan said was the most valuable information.
The predecessor of New Era was a large multinational group. To be precise, the multinational group was a tool that New Era controlled to make money. Their real sphere of influence covered every corner of the world. Whether it was the Champs-Elysees in France or the pyramids in Egypt, as long as there were people and cities, they would have their tentacles. The number of people working for them reached millions.
If it was before the apocalypse, they would just be an ordinary force. The country would not pay too much attention to them as long as they did not break the law. However, after the apocalypse, New Era was reborn and became one of the top forces in the world.
There were many things that Luo Junshan did not understand. It was a coincidence that he became the vice commander of the 9th Division. When the virus broke out, all the higher-ups of the company were mutated. Only he, the administrative assistant, had the tools to communicate with the outside world. Under the guidance of the headquarters, he slowly gathered a lot of survivors, obtained a lot of weapons, and officially became the leader of the company.
After he found the weapons stored by the company, he suspected that the company was very complicated. There were thousands of sets of weapons and equipment stored in a perfect underground armory. No other company would be able to produce something like this. Other than weapons, there were also all kinds of materials and other equipment.
With these things, they developed rapidly and finally formed a gathering place. Later, the company sent support and naturally took over his gathering place. At the same time, he became the deputy commander in charge of the servant army.
"You are very disappointing. You made a mess of your uniform. Is it because you are dissatisfied with them?"
Huang Quan stopped writing and looked at Luo Junshan, who was sitting opposite him. Luo Junshan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I'm just a small fry. I don't really care about power. It's just that …"
Luo Junshan really didn't care about his position being taken away. He didn't have any talent in commanding, and he didn't know how to strategize. In the initial stage of development, he just led a group of people with excellent equipment and sufficient resources to gather many survivors together, waiting for the country's rescue.
The only thing he did not expect was that before the country's rescue came, the company could not wait to send a manager. His direct superior was a Eurasian. His Chinese name was Zhu Bide. He was originally just an ordinary truck worker. Because of his 100% obedience and execution, the company's top management valued him very much.
After Zhu Bide became the leader of the colony, he first selected all the adult males for training and forced them to become soldiers. Then he led them to attack everywhere and gathered all the colonies and residences around them. When they reached a scale of 100,000 people, there was a fleet to take them away from the mainland and towards the ocean.
Almost all the population was an important resource for the New Era organization. They gathered the population together and transferred the population to Australia in the short period before the marine creatures mutated, forming a new city there.
Australia was more than 7 million square kilometers with a population of only about 20 million. It was a rare treasure land. The rarest thing was that Australia was rich in natural resources. It was the world's largest producer of bauxite, alumina, diamonds, lead, and tantalum. Its production of gold, iron ore, coal, lithium, manganese ore, nickel, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, silver, uranium, and zinc was also among the world's top producers.
At the same time, Australia was the world's largest exporter of bituminous coal, concentrate, iron ore, and uranium.
Also, Australia itself was rich in oil resources. The forest coverage was not small, almost covering one-fifth of the entire country's area.
Therefore, Australia became the Garden of Eden in the eyes of the apocalypse. As long as the local zombies in Australia were cleared, it would be the world's first zombie-free land other than Antarctica.
It could be said that Australia was the root of the New Era. However, all this changed when the marine mutant beasts attacked the passing ships. The sea was no longer a passage, but a road of death. The New Era's marine transport fleet was almost wiped out, and at the same time, the mainland lost contact with Australia.
The loss of Australia not only meant that the sea route was not smooth, but it also meant that the two million people could not get supplies from the outside world. They had to rely on themselves for everything, including fighting for survival space with the zombies. At this time, air power became the key.
However, just like what Zhang Xiaoqiang had thought before, the noise made by the aircraft could easily attract the attack of the mutant birds. In addition to the aircraft, only the airship and the low-noise stealth helicopter could be used.
Compared to Zhang Xiaoqiang's shallow understanding of the mutant birds, the New Era, who had more aircraft in the hands of the mutant birds, naturally knew that the air passage was the only way to connect the various control points. After repeated research, they finally found out that the mutant birds did not attack the aircraft itself. The glider and other silent aircraft would not alarm the mutant birds. Therefore, the airship with the noise reduction equipment could be used, but the aircraft could not.
The other way was to try not to fly at high altitudes. For example, the helicopter only needed to fly close to the ground, and the mutant birds would not care at all. In their eyes, the helicopter might only be a ground creature, and the sound of the stealth helicopter was not loud, so they did not suffer any losses in China.
The 24 stealth helicopters that attacked the cockroach base today were half of the air power in Asia. Unexpectedly, all 24 helicopters were destroyed here, and Luo Junshan had no hope of survival.
"I don't like to take care of the military uniform because I don't agree with their way of doing things. When they put the Chinese people on the ship, I felt that it was like the Americans selling black slaves hundreds of years ago. How the Chinese people should live should not be decided by outsiders …"
After that, Luo Junshan stopped talking and looked at the empty table in front of him in silence. Huang Quan wrote a few notes and then asked, "You hid in the command center and knocked out more than 20 of my evolvers. How did you do it?"
Luo Junshan raised his head and recalled the scene just now.
"Sir, it's bad, they rushed in …"
"It's confirmed that Commander Zhu Bide and the main force were destroyed along with the missile base …"
"We can't stop them at all. They are all evolvers, please retreat …"
All sorts of calls came to the command center, and everyone's expressions changed. Only Luo Junshan could not help but smile bitterly. He turned to Cultivator You Yinhua beside him and said, "I told you, the missile base is not that easy to attack. Look, we're hurting ourselves and others. We're all going to pay for it today …"
"Err … Sir, now is not the time to talk about this. What should we do?
Should we fight our way out, or … "
Only the two You Yinhua cultivators who were responsible for protecting him had the right to say this. The internal department of the New Era had a way to control the life and death of their subordinates. For ordinary people and evolvers, they would die immediately if they rushed out, but if they surrendered, they could live for at least half a year. Half a year was not a short time, especially for people who were used to seeing death.
"I understand what you mean. The feeling of being controlled by others is not a good feeling. We still have half a year to live, and as long as we are alive, there is hope. However, I don't mind surrendering now. You can use whatever means you have. As long as you don't kill people, it will indirectly prove your value …"
