Looking at the calm Zhang Xiaoqiang and the resolute machine gun team on the screen, the lieutenant colonel asked, "What do you guys think?"
Ten serious-looking soldiers stood behind the lieutenant colonel and looked at the screen thoughtfully. The young second lieutenant opened his mouth and said, "These people are not soldiers. Their tactical movements are very crude, and they don't have a good grasp of their weapons. They look like a bunch of civilians who haven't held guns for a few days."
A major beside him said, "They don't seem to be interested in the missiles. No one went to check if the missiles we put on the table outside are real. They're searching all the rooms. If I'm not wrong, they're looking for weapons and ammunition. Also, they're very undisciplined. Some of them put some valuable items into their backpacks during the search. Oh right, I also found out that they have their own class. Those who carry guns and those who don't carry guns are two different classes."
"Yeah, I saw it too. One of the leaders used a gun to force those who didn't have guns to go out and save people. If they were really on the same side, they wouldn't have used a gun to force them," an officer with the rank of a captain added on.
"You guys are all right, but let me ask you this. If you guys were in their shoes, would you guys still be so calm when the anti-aircraft machine guns couldn't hit the big bird?
Would you continue to search the sky as if nothing had happened when your comrades were injured or even killed in front of your eyes?
Also, did you guys see fear on their faces? "
At this point, the lieutenant colonel paused for a moment, seeming to have thought of something, and continued, "During the counterattack against Vietnam, those new recruits would always act abnormally when their comrades were injured or killed in battle. Some would become fearless and bloodthirsty, while others would have a nervous breakdown and flee for their lives. However, did any of you see any of those people act abnormally or act abnormally?"
The lieutenant colonel's question made them fall silent. They were all soldiers in a peaceful era, and they weren't even soldiers on the frontline. Their mission was to operate the control panel or issue orders to their subordinates. In other words, they might never have the chance to charge into the trenches with guns in their entire lives.
"They're indeed not regular soldiers, and they haven't received complete military training, but they're definitely a group of soldiers who have experienced life and death battles. They're the kind of elite veterans who don't even care about their own lives."
After saying that, the Lieutenant Colonel fiddled with the control panel a few times, and all the small screens combined into a large screen. The image displayed on the screen was that of the mutated Great Blackbird circling around the mountain peak and attacking Zhang Xiaoqiang from behind.
On the screen, the Great Blackbird was like a bolt of black lightning as it swooped down towards the machine gun position below. Then, the image changed to Zhang Xiaoqiang pulling the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and turning around. The image froze there, then quickly zoomed in to show Zhang Xiaoqiang's cold eyes.
Looking at the pair of eyes on the screen, the lieutenant colonel turned and said, "All of you know how fast the big bird is. It dives at a 60-degree angle from a height of 3,000 meters, which is not much slower than an air-to-ground missile. However, this person is able to react in a mere three seconds. What does this mean?"
All the officers were shaking their heads, but two young female officers were staring at the pair of cold eyes on the big screen with infatuation in their eyes.
"This person has an extraordinary battlefield intuition. This kind of intuition can only be possessed by veteran soldiers who have been through hundreds of battles. However, we can see that his tactical movements are as crude as the others, so we can exclude him from the special forces and the Razor Sharp Company. Similarly, we can exclude him from being an international mercenary. Based on this, does he have a chance to hone his combat intuition?"
Upon hearing the Lieutenant Colonel's question, the officers were also confused. In their opinion, those gangsters would not be able to hone their combat intuition even if they had a hundred years.
"Another base was breached by the Undying the day before yesterday?
In their final warning, they said that there was a type of strong Undying that could not even be penetrated by bullets, and another type of Undying that was extremely fast that caused their destruction. We don't know much about the outside world, but I know that there are quite a number of such Undying. If these people can charge into our base and swagger around to look for something, it means that they have the upper hand when fighting the Undying outside. "
At this point, the lieutenant colonel continued fiddling with the console a few more times. Another image popped up. On the image was Zhang Xiaoqiang holding up a piece of white paper. The image opened up, and the word "rescue" filled the entire screen. Following that, Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly accelerated and charged forward. Countless shells kept exploding around him until Zhang Xiaoqiang reached the perimeter wall.
"In comparison, we can say that his combat intuition has reached an extraordinary level. The moment Colonel Huang gave the order to attack, he accelerated and ran. He couldn't sense Colonel Huang's killing intent from outside the base. Only such a person can survive in this world for a long time."
The lieutenant colonel sighed and continued, "We all saw the piece of paper he was holding. He knows that we are still alive and wants to save us. Let's not talk about how trustworthy his words are. Just based on the fact that he is a Chinese, we shouldn't attack him. Unfortunately, Colonel Huang doesn't listen to me, so it's not easy for us to meet him now."
"It's true that these people are civilians, but they are civilians who killed their way out of the Undying. Looking at the complexion of their soldiers, it proves that they are not lacking in food and can even get their hands on weapons. These people have a bright future ahead of them."
The lieutenant colonel sighed again. The fact that the lieutenant colonel was able to reach the rank of lieutenant colonel before the age of 30 and become the base's famous third chief combat officer proved that he knew how to choose his side well. Now that he saw Zhang Xiaoqiang's performance, he was a little tempted.
"What do you mean, chief?" The lieutenant colonel seemed to understand the situation and asked.
"I'm thinking about whether to open the door or not..." the lieutenant colonel said hesitantly.
"But we attacked them. Although we didn't hurt them, the seeds of misunderstanding have already been planted," the lieutenant colonel said as soon as the lieutenant finished speaking.
"Yes, we're not afraid of other things, but what if they don't listen to our explanation and attack us?
Besides, there are hundreds of Undying blocking the outside. They might not be able to break in. "
"This is an opportunity for us. You don't want to be trapped here forever..."
Before the lieutenant colonel could finish his words, he was interrupted by the female officer behind him. He turned around and saw the mutated Great Blackbird forcibly charging towards the machine gun position amidst the hail of bullets. The strange bird had very strong combat instincts. In addition to its natural speed, it constantly adjusted its body amid the hail of bullets, and not many bullets hit its huge body.
The officers were surprised to see that the strange bird was still unharmed even after many bullets hit it. While they were still in shock, the strange bird charged towards Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was raising the anti-aircraft machine gun. Then, they saw Zhang Xiaoqiang seemed to pause for a moment before the strange bird suddenly changed direction and flew into the sky. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoqiang hugged his head and crouched in the machine gun position.
