Chapter 38 Meeting
Haijing, underground command post.
In the dim conference room, the round conference table was full of people. On the left was a row of military leaders in uniform, led by Li Zhenhui. On the right were the ministers and the vice president of the Provisional Government of the Red Star Republic. Several people in white scientific research uniforms were also sitting among them, including Wu Qiang.
This seating order and personnel composition clearly reflects the power division of the current Red Star Republic Provisional Government. The strongest, of course, is the military, followed by the senior officials of the original government, and the weakest, but also the most important, are the researchers of the Red Star Republic Biological Research Institute.
The presidential seat, which was supposed to be at the top, was now empty.
However, everyone's attention was not here. Their eyes were all attracted by the holographic image in the center of the round table.
The video showed a wasteland filled with zombies. These zombies were like ants that smelled honey, and were rushing towards a gray city. The gray city was constantly flashing yellow light, keeping the tide of zombies out.
After a while, a corner of the gray city suddenly collapsed, and then groups of black zombies quickly rushed into the city!
Seeing this scene, many of the people present showed expressions of regret. Obviously, the fortress had been breached. Not to mention that hundreds of thousands of people in and outside the city had not been spared, the supplies lost in the city alone made these people feel distressed.
You know, after the outbreak of the biochemical crisis, Zeyang City was one of the few cities located inland that still completely eliminated the zombies in the city and survived. Therefore, a large amount of supplies were transported to Zeyang City. In just a few days, Zeyang City was built into a solid defensive fortress.
And now, this frontier fortress is finally about to be wiped out.
"Buzz——" The information prompter next to it suddenly vibrated, and a message was displayed: "Zeyang City Defense Commander Chen Beidou and former Zhongtian Province Governor Zhao Yide have coordinated important personnel to evacuate Zeyang City."
Li Zhenhui sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Beidou is on his way back. Then, the great purge should also begin. Although this guy eventually lost Zeyang City, it is the area with the most serious virus outbreak after all, so it is not his fault. Moreover, he has experience in direct combat with zombies, which will be of some help to our battle in the future."
After Li Zhenhui finished speaking, several people present who had wanted to denounce Chen Beidou immediately shut their mouths and nodded with smiles.
At the same time, a clerk nearby immediately reported: "A Qinglong strategic nuclear missile launched by Unit 2 is about to reach Zeyang City."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly flashed on the real-time image in the center of the round table, followed by a snowflake, but it was still vaguely seen that a huge fireball was rising rapidly from the original location of Zeyang City, and the shock wave formed a ripple in the air, spreading to the surrounding wilderness. From this holographic image, everything looked beautiful, like a work of art, but everyone present knew that this beautiful flower of fire represented the death of hundreds of thousands of humans and millions of zombies!
Because of the fierce battle, the zombies near Zeyang City are extremely dense. Therefore, the nuclear bomb at this time can achieve the greatest killing effect and achieve the greatest results.
But all this comes at a price.
Hundreds of thousands of humans who were forced to serve as bait have now all become burial objects!
Everyone present was staring at the holographic image in front of them in silence. No one spoke a word and they all had expressionless faces, as if what was happening now was as simple as scalding a group of ants to death with boiling water.
None of those who have survived the apocalypse and climbed to their current high positions are kindhearted people. In their eyes, those ordinary people are just a group of tools. Of course, if possible, they don't want those people to die, but this is a war. For the survival of all mankind, they have no choice but to sacrifice the people in Zeyang City. You know, since the biochemical crisis, it is the first time that a nuclear bomb has been launched to eliminate the zombies. This kind of data is very valuable.
At worst, we could build a monument for them... This was the thought that flashed through everyone's mind...
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, causing everyone around to frown: "Look, what's going on over there? Why are there so many dismembered zombies?"
The attendees immediately looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was Wu Qiang, who was sitting third from the right. As the highest-ranking biologist with the strongest scientific research ability that the Red Star Provisional Government could find, Wu Qiang's status in the Provisional Government was extremely high. This was of course inseparable from his real talent and knowledge. Apart from anything else, the cyborg bodyguards he provided to various senior officials and the anti-aging drugs he developed made it difficult for these people to offend him.
Therefore, although Wu Qiang's behavior was rude, no one said anything for a while.
"Look here! The south of Zeyang City!" Wu Qiang was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He gestured and said a few words, then simply stood up, captured a small piece of the southwest part of the holographic image, and enlarged it.
Immediately, everyone exclaimed!
Because they saw that this small area was completely different from the surrounding areas. It was actually littered with the remains of zombies with broken heads. A rough count showed that there were almost three to four thousand zombies!
There were tens of thousands of zombies around, and they had formed a small open space in the middle of the zombies. On the open space, in a pool of blood and flesh, was a broken figure like a ghost, constantly picking up the broken heads around him and sucking the brains out! On his arm, there was a one-eyed head hanging!
The moment they saw this figure, Li Zhenhui, Wu Qiang, and several of their direct subordinates immediately stood up and stared at the holographic screen.
What shocked them was not the tragic battlefield, but the face that was revealed when the figure accidentally raised his head to suck the brains!
Although it was covered in blood, they definitely recognized this face and these eyes!
It's that person!
"It's him... Interesting..." Li Zhenhui narrowed his eyes, murderous intent filled his eyes.
Wu Qiang showed an excited expression and shouted loudly: "It's him! Hahaha, this toy is here! I said that the hunters I sent out didn't find him, it turns out he ran away from Steel City a long time ago!"
The people around who didn't know the situation were confused, wondering who this figure was and why he deserved the attention of both the military and the scientific research leaders. Some people even thought that this figure was just a zombie.
Just as everyone had different expressions, the holographic image suddenly shook and then became blurry. They could all see that a huge shock wave swept across the place where the strange figure was like a broom sweeping away dust...
