In the Shangjing Survivor Base, a helicopter landed on the platform, and a group of soldiers came out. Different from the miserable appearance of the other returning troops, this group of soldiers was dressed neatly, and the number of soldiers did not decrease. Their boots were clean as if they had never left the base.
"How many casualties?"
The soldier who came to greet them asked with a strange look in his eyes. In his heart, he wondered if this group of people didn't carry out their mission at all and just strolled around and went home, right?
"Ah, only one person." The soldier who walked in front of the group was embarrassed.
"Only one person?"
The soldier was shocked, and then he quickly changed his expression and said with a flattering smile, "Congratulations on your return. The number of casualties can be recorded in the history books!"
The group of soldiers were all embarrassed and walked forward in silence. As it was not a big battle, the first thing these people did after returning was to arrange for a rest. Only after that was it to calculate and report the battle situation. They really did not want to explain the real situation here. It was too embarrassing!
But this group of people did not want to say it, and the people who heard the conversation had already pricked up their ears for gossip. When they heard that the number of casualties was only one, the news began to leak. After all, the number of casualties was absolutely worthy of worship and gossip. Soon, the whole base began to spread the news: Major General An Ze's army had killed all the enemies in Anluo City and returned with only one casualty.
The members of the military regarded this news as an honor, and the evolvers who did not have a military position but were close to the military regarded it as something to show off. Gradually, the news spread out, and everyone in the base treated it as gossip. Everyone wanted to show that they were the ones who knew the news the fastest.
Look, they already knew the result before the battle results were announced. Awesome, right?
In the post-apocalyptic world, the number of casualties had always been a bottleneck in major battles and survivor bases. Now that people knew that there was only one casualty, how could they not publicize it? Even if the actual situation had not been announced, it was not important. It was just that it was brought forward.
Thus, the evil wind expanded, and finally, it was out of control. Even An Ze, who had been killed by Bai Yun 'er, had become the new hero of Shangjing Base. His popularity was even greater than Zhuang Hong's.
In the giant conference room of the base, there was still a big round table. The familiar faces of the big bosses were sitting around the table, looking at the latest battle reports. The war with the zombies had never stopped, and the first battle against the mutants was the focus of this meeting.
"Major General An Ze's team has returned, and there will be a report in a moment. I heard that the number of people who went out was the same as the number of people who went out. We won a great battle." Zhuang Hong smiled and looked at Commander Mu provocatively.
It was obvious that Commander Mu had sent An Ze to Anluo City. Although Anluo City was not a big city, the number of zombies was not small. According to Dragon Teeth, hybrids could control zombies. Although they said that they had to deal with 100 hybrids, they did not include the zombies. Zhuang Hong had long been dissatisfied with Commander Mu because of this. Commander Mu was obviously pushing his people into the fire pit.
However, Zhuang Hong did not oppose this operation. First, Commander Mu had arranged people from all factions, so it was not deliberate suppression. Second, An Ze was just a chess piece of Zhuang Hong. To put it bluntly, he was just a peripheral personnel that could be abandoned at any time.
However, Zhuang Hong did not expect that when the team had just arrived, there would be a lot of news spreading. There was only one casualty, and it was a great victory. Now, Commander Mu's secret chess piece was completely destroyed. How could Zhuang Hong not be happy about this?
Everyone could see Zhuang Hong's arrogance. Many people congratulated him with a smile and said a few good words. General Zhuang Hong had gained another talent who knew how to fight. Now, the balance of power in Shangjing Base was unstable again.
Facing the ambiguous gazes of the people around him, Commander Mu just sat calmly and pretended not to see Zhuang Hong's provocation.
Luo Ming was angry. This old man, who was very similar to Luo Xiaoxiao, picked his teeth and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. I wonder if the mission has been completed. Why are you talking so much?"
"Elder Luo, what do you mean?"
Zhuang Hong's expression changed immediately. "Major General An Ze has returned with a great victory. It is obvious. I heard that when they arrived, even their clothes were very clean. How could they not have completed the mission?"
Luo Ming did not even raise his eyelids. He drank a mouthful of water leisurely. "I remember that there were two missions for An Ze. Apart from killing the hybrids, the other was to find Chu Han along the way.
He came back so quickly. Did he find him or not? Did he ignore the military order? "
As soon as Luo Ming said this, Zhuang Hong's face darkened. Luo Ming was doing this on purpose!
"Elder Luo, don't deliberately find fault with such a great victory."
The others saw that the situation was not right, so they quickly tried to smooth things over. However, their words were obviously on Zhuang Hong's side. "If Chu Han wanted to come to Shangjing, he would have been here long ago. There is no need for the military to send people to look for him. Since he is not here, he must have some bad intentions. Do you think we should beg him to come here?
How can we put our faces if we do that? "
"Yes!"
Another person immediately said, "I think we should put aside the matter about Chu Han. We have General Zhuang Hong to lead us, so we are not afraid of those zombies!"
"Moreover."
The third person also began to add his own opinion. "Major General An Ze's victory is a miracle. We do not need to make a big fuss over Chu Han. As long as the victory in Anluo is announced, An Ze will be a rising star in the base. I think he is more suitable than Chu Han to be a hero."
"Yes."
Zhuang Hong nodded with satisfaction and looked at Commander Mu and Luo Ming fearlessly. "Chu Han is not a member of our base, but An Ze is. To put it bluntly, if we want to establish a hero and strengthen the belief of humanity, it is better to control the talent in our own hands."
"All humans in the world are one family."
Commander Mu's voice was filled with anger, "Not only the Shangjing survivor base, but also the other survivor bases. Do you mean to exclude other survivor bases from the list?
What about the people? What about Huaxia?
What about humans? "
In the end, Commander Mu's voice was filled with anger that was about to erupt.
After the outbreak of the apocalypse, the population of more than one billion in Huaxia had rapidly decreased. At the beginning, 20% of the population had survived, but now, it was less than 10%. The number of zombies was increasing, and they could not kill them all. How could Commander Mu not be angry when he heard Zhuang Hong's words?
