Chapter 1379

"How's it going? How does it feel to recapture a big city? "

Zhang Xiaoqiang walked up to Cao Lidong, who was not far away, and asked with a trace of pride. Cao Lidong never agreed to Zhang Xiaoqiang's solicitation. Of course, he was not stupid enough to ask to leave. At first, he did not understand that there were many regular soldiers in the army, who had certain ideological quality, even officers, Why should we obey the command of Zhang Xiaoqiang, a civilian from other places?

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't restrict Cao Lidong's personal freedom. As long as he didn't go outside, Cao Lidong would go wherever he wanted. Taking this opportunity, Cao Lidong made a deep understanding of Zhang Xiaoqiang's Grassland army.

In his contacts with soldiers, with civilians and with people of all nationalities, he found that the mental outlook of this force was completely opposite to that of his troops. Under the influence of the northern military region, soldiers were in constant panic and did not know when they would die in the hands of zombies.

Civilians are in precarious condition. They feel that there is no more pure land in the world, and there are zombies everywhere. They have been migrating for many years. They do not know how many of their companions fall on the road of migration, or fall behind, or leave by themselves. They are also captured and eaten by mutant animals, rushed into the human group by evolutionary zombies, and starved to death because they are unable to find food.

All kinds of evils also emerge in endlessly. In order to prevent the following people from being in chaos, the military uses iron means to suppress the outlaws among the civilians. These people are always unable to kill. In desperation, many people, for the sake of temporary pleasure and vent their anger, aim at the same people around them, such as rape, rape, theft, abuse, killing, and naked slavery.

Every day, naked female corpses are found on the roadside. There are many young children and pretty men. Every day, people commit suicide because they can't stand the abuse of others. The ugliness of civilians and the military control, as long as there are signs, they are all shot, right or wrong, but no one can stop the ugliness from high-level children.

With the gradual collapse of order, the desperation of civilians once affected the army. Deserters, murderers, rapists and murderers also appeared in the army, but their targets were still civilians.

Without a solid base, the civilians can not be transformed into productive forces, and there is no fixed output. Their daily consumption is an astronomical number. The civilians can never occupy too much share of the County Materials attacked, and the civilians can never get a share of the towns cleaned up.

The biggest harvest of civilians is to plant the seeds given to them by the army in one place. When they are lucky, they can still harvest one season, hand over half to the army, and save half. They can always have enough food once or twice a month.

Today, even the joy of the harvest is deprived by zombies. The reclamation area of the mountain area is limited. The limited mountain area has long been shared equally by those high-level family members. If it were not for the third rain, countless vegetation would grow like crazy, and hundreds of thousands of people would have starved to death. Even if they had not starved to death, most of them would be like walking dead. How could they compare with the civilians here?

Cao Lidong's deepest impression is not the tanks and armored vehicles of the grassland regiment, nor tens of thousands of elite soldiers. What he impresses most is the civilians who transport materials for the front line, including men and women, Han Chinese, Mongolians, and Hui people in Yinchuan area. These people are different from the survivors in other places. Although most of them have a good look, they are rich in flesh and blood, Compared with other skeletons, they are naturally the difference between heaven and earth.

Here, every flatbed truck carrying goods and materials is full of goods and materials. There are all kinds of ethnic snacks with unique tastes, canned fish from the Yellow River and canned vegetables in all kinds of glass bottles. Cao Lidong can eat them. In addition, there is a kind of smoked meat with strange taste. After eating it, he can always feel a stream of heat flowing in his limbs, Let his body in a few days to recover almost, is absolutely a rare tonic, although the taste is not so good.

These things are not under the care of a special person. If you put them on the flatbed truck and lift the oilcloth, you can see the tempting food and bacon. But when you look at them, you can see that none of the malnourished civilians has moved, even if there are no soldiers escorted by them. These people walk hundreds of kilometers barefoot to deliver all kinds of materials needed by the front line, They just took out a cold bread and ate it on the side of the road with clear water. After eating it, they were ready to transport back all kinds of materials and raw materials found by the army. They didn't need to be supervised or encouraged. They quietly supported the army with actions.

Seeing this, Cao Lidong seems to understand why Zhang Xiaoqiang can be supported. In fact, the survivors don't need much. They just need a safe environment, a job that can fill their stomachs, and a hope for the future.

Zhang Xiaoqiang did these things and gave them respect. Soldiers need more simple things, victory and honor. Zhang Xiaoqiang's power includes three large cities, seven or eight small and medium-sized cities, which are all fought by soldiers. How can they not be proud? What's more, millions of zombies have been wiped out, Millions of zombies have even created a forest out of thin air.Soldiers need, Zhang Xiaoqiang also gave them, as long as they can continue to win, what kind of leader can power Zhang Xiaoqiang? What's more, Cao Lidong already knows that this elite army in front of him is only one of the three grassland troops. The other two troops have now won their respective victories and recovered thousands of square kilometers of land and towns.

Cao Lidong didn't answer Zhang Xiaoqiang's question, but responded in silence. Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't care. He patted Cao Lidong on the shoulder and said frankly:

"The soldiers here are only a part. I believe you also know that I have three troops and two or three regiments of recruits just formed. My team will only be stronger in the Vietnam War. Therefore, I am very short of officers, Especially when you are an excellent officer who goes through countless zombies and travels more than 600 kilometers to reach us without support and supplies. What's the matter? Have you thought about it? "

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't give up on Cao Lidong's recruitment. Cao Lidong is a talent who really makes him envious. Under the same conditions, he can't think of a company in his own team that can accomplish such a feat, except sending the elite brigade of the bleeding battle regiment.

Zhang Xiaoqiang's words made Cao Lidong laugh bitterly again. He said with some self mockery:

"When I set out, there were 174 brothers around me, all of whom came out of the hand of death. Now I am the only one left. Do you still think I have the ability? It's not how good I am that I can get here. It's just that I want to have a look at the Yellow River before I die and the ultimate goal of our reconnaissance company. "

Zhang Xiaoqiang scorned Cao Lidong's words, interrupted Cao Lidong's words and said frankly:

"When you set out, how much material did your superior give you? How much ammunition? How many more troops are there? "

Cao Lidong was speechless because of Zhang Xiaoqiang's three. Suddenly, he recalled that when he set out, 170 war-torn men stood behind him in a neat square formation. Each person had only three bullet clips and three spare bullet clips. The vehicles were complete, but the fuel was only enough for them to travel 200 kilometers. There was food and only one week's ration, At the time of departure, no matter how he pleaded, the logistics management just turned a cold face.

"Company commander, the living dead are coming. Go, go, leave us alone."

"Company commander, just now the second class went to the village to find food without telling us. Only one person came back alive and brought back ten jin of moldy rice..."

"Company commander, you can shoot. I can't live any more. I don't want to be a living dead man. I'm going to die. Before I die, I want to say something:" we're not worth it. We're not worth it! Those bastards are so full that we don't want to give them more food. One hundred and seventy-four brothers died in search of food... "

"Company commander, you either kill me or let me go. I don't want to go on. I just want to be a deserter. There are so many brothers when I set out. How many are left now? How many dead people did we kill along the way? Did we send a reinforcements? Also, is the radio really broken after we came out? Since it was sent out, there has been a sound on the radio

"Company commander, this is my last call to you. Company commander, you saved my life three times, and now I'll give it back to you. Don't work hard for those bastards. Run, the farther you run, the better..." the company commander is the last one
