As the Ning City base welcomed a new day, in a huge base far away in the capital, an increasingly fat middle-aged man also heard the report from his subordinates.
He seemed to be a little bit unbelieving, and frowned: "After being besieged by a million zombies for five days, the Ning City base is actually completely unscathed?"
The subordinate corrected him: "It's not that there were no casualties, but that the death toll was less than 10,000."
The fat man, Min Yande, waved his hand. The loss of less than ten thousand was almost equivalent to nothing. Now in the capital base, tens of thousands of people died every day in the base, outside the base, and from various reasons. It was impossible to count them. It was incredible that such a small base had only such a small loss when it was surrounded by a tide of zombies.
Min Yande tapped the table and asked, "What about his casualties?"
The subordinate knew who he was talking about, and lowered his head to report back: "There is no particularly detailed data, but it is estimated that the death toll of the Zhengyang Brigade is no more than 50, and the number of injured is within 300."
With a bang, Min Yande's hand that was tapping the table turned into a heavy slam on the table. His face darkened, and his huge fat body sat in the leather boss chair like a mountain.
The subordinate took a look, lowered his head even more, and told the most important and incredible information: "According to the news from over there, yesterday Ye Xiao drove the magic machine and fired energy cannons to repel the remaining zombies."
"Energy cannon? What energy cannon?"
The subordinate handed over the written report with both hands. Min Yande quickly read it and panted: "How ridiculous! How ridiculous!" He took his things, changed them randomly, and now he is making a name for himself with this, but he himself is so proud of himself!
Now everyone in the entire capital base is laughing at him for losing not only his wife but also his soldiers, and being slapped in the face by the soldiers he once commanded.
He slammed the table, "He thinks I can't do anything to him if he hides in Ning City, right? Damn it, tell him to return the magic machine, or I will, I will..." After talking for a long time, he found that there was nothing that could threaten Ye Xiao, so he slammed the table again, "Remove his military status, and make public the good deeds of his father, and see if he still has the face to do it!"
"Uncle Min, what are you so angry about so early in the morning?" A cheerful voice with a smile came from outside, and then a handsome young man walked in. Min Yande's anger subsided, and he also stood up with a smile: "Xiao Yi, how come you have time to come to Uncle Min today."
Chen Xianyi glanced at the subordinate, and when Min Yande asked them to leave, Chen Xianyi sighed, "Uncle Min, what else could it be? Everyone wants you to give an explanation about the fact that the divine machine has been lost in Ning City."
Min Yande's face fell.
There are only five divine machines in the capital base now, and each of the five most powerful camps has one. In Min Yande's camp, the divine machine is kept with him. Don't be fooled by the fact that they promote the divine machine as the best in the world, as if it is a must-have artifact for dominating the world in the end times, but everyone inside knows that this thing still has huge flaws. At this stage, instead of wasting energy on the divine machine, it would be better to get more food and some psychics.
So the big guys didn’t really take it too seriously, which is why Min Yande sent it out to pick up a five-element mutant.
As a result, it was lost.
Not paying much attention is one thing, but the loss of the only magic machine is another matter. After all, it is necessary to rely on this as a gimmick to attract talents. Min Yande has been under a lot of pressure for many days. Chen Xianyi came today to remind him. Others knew that the magic machine fell into the Ning City base and was transformed into an energy cannon, which seemed to have a stronger deterrent effect on the zombies. They couldn't sit still and wanted to put pressure on Min Yande to get the magic machine back.
Min Yande shook the flesh on his cheeks.
Chen Xianyi added: "But Uncle Min, you don't have to worry too much. I will take care of it for you. As long as Grandpa stands by you, no one else will dare to say anything."
Min Yande looked very touched: "On Mr. Chen's side, please say a few good words for Uncle Min. I will give everyone an explanation as soon as possible."
Chen Xianyi asked: "What is Uncle Min's plan?"
Min Yande sneered: "This is not our business now. Ye Xiao and his men have robbed important military equipment such as the Divine Machine, and also have technology such as the Energy Cannon. Whether it is to hold them accountable or to ask them to produce this technology, the Commander-in-Chief must make a statement!"
Chen Xianyi's eyes flashed: "I heard that the commander-in-chief launched the A017 mission against Ye Xiao, but it failed and Han Ying died tragically, but the commander-in-chief did not pursue the matter."
"Isn't that better? There is no investigation because the mission itself is not tenable. Now we have a ready-made handle for him to investigate?" Min Yande said, "I will go see our commander-in-chief."
After this death, in the Ning City base, Zhengyang Brigade, Lin Tantan was still "hanging out" with Ye Xiao. Ahem, it was mainly because she provided vvvvvip recuperation services to her boyfriend and exclusive patient. Unlike other people, where she would just spend five or ten minutes to let him fall asleep and then leave him. Her energy was uninterrupted, and the energy would travel throughout his body, helping him relieve fatigue and rejuvenate in all aspects.
She felt sorry for her boyfriend for not getting enough rest in recent days and wanted him to sleep more, but his communicator kept flashing, so she had to stop early. Even so, after waking up, Ye Xiao still felt full of energy.
He ruffled Lin Tantan's hair and glanced at the time. It was already past breakfast time. "Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat?"
Lin Tan Tan pointed at his communicator and said, "I don't know who it is, but they probably have something urgent to talk to you about. You can check it out first."
Ye Xiao clicked on it and saw that it was all from Lv Jianping. After reading it, he smiled and said, "The capital knows that we have modified the divine machine, and they want us to spit out the technology and put our efforts to Lv Jianping."
He immediately contacted Lv Jianping, who said, "You guys are really something. When I contacted Bai Cheng, he said he was busy. When I contacted you, you didn't answer. It's urgent. How are you going to get the energy cannon technology?"
Ye Xiao said: "What else can I do? This is a good thing, of course I have to share it with everyone. I will come to you later and tell you in detail then."
Lu Jianping was stunned and said, "Okay, I'm also very busy here, we'll talk about it later."
Lin Tan Tan asked Ye Xiao: "Do you really want to take it out?"
"We can't hide this thing, and the technology of the energy cannon is not mature enough. Instead of keeping it in our hands, it is better to let it out for everyone to study together." Ye Xiao said. Not to mention Min Yande, the other four people who also possessed the magic machine would definitely try every means to make him spit out the technology. Ye Xiao didn't want to make so many enemies.
He was silent for a moment, then added: "Just consider it as the last thing I do for the organization as an active-duty soldier."
Lin Tan Tan was stunned. Ye Xiao looked at her and said, "Tan Tan, I am ready to retire. Now this identity only represents trouble and trouble to me."
Lin Tan Tan said, "Then retire. I support you!" It should have been done long ago! She thought for a moment, "It would be best if the highest-ranking commander or someone else could give you a medal. We want to retire, and we want to retire with honor."
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Okay."
They went to the canteen to eat, Ye Xiao went to do his thing, and Lin Tan went back to the mountain to check on his little cuties. Well, they still ate well and slept well after these few days, and they were all in good spirits... Hey, what was that black thing in the pit
Lin Tantan walked closer and saw that it was actually a mosquito pit. Black thumb-sized and fist-sized mosquitoes were either slapped to death or torn to pieces and thrown here. She poked it with a branch and found that the pit was more than one meter deep. That was how many mosquitoes there were.
She asked the little cuties, "Are these the mosquitoes you killed these days?"
The black swan Hei Zai held his head high and cackled proudly. The white swan became more reserved in preening its feathers. The mutant mice jumped around her, and the three mice with longer feathers also came up shyly.
Obviously, they did kill these mosquitoes, and the reason why they did this must be because Ye Xiao ordered them to do so.
Imagine a group of mutated mosquitoes flying out of the mountains. Before they can fly into the base to show their skills, they are shot down by these guys and crushed to death on the ground. It's a bit tragic.
No wonder they all look a little dusty, they must have run up the mountain a lot.
Lin Tan Tan touched this and that and said, "You are all good children. Come, I will give you some wood energy."
At this time, Ye Xiao was having a meeting with his team members. This team was their original seven-member team. Ye Xiao announced his decision to retire and asked everyone what their plans were.
Mei Baisheng was the first one to say that he also wanted to retire. He was almost turned into a zombie by Cai Chengliang. After he survived, he scolded Min Yande on the phone and said that he would quit.
Xu Li continued: "I will follow Brother Ye."
Jiang Xiaotian was the third to speak. He shrugged and said, "I'm retiring too. With the way things are now, we can't go back even if we want to."
Next was Xu Qin. He drank a sip of tea calmly and said, "I have no objection. Well, just transfer my household registration. If the procedure is too complicated, just cancel the account directly."
The last one to come was Zhong Xiong, who had served the longest among all of them. He was silent for a long time and then sighed: "All the people above have been replaced. What difference does it make whether you retire or not? Let's go, let's all go."
Bai Cheng distributed a cup of tea to everyone, and then continued to brew it gracefully, saying, "Since everyone agrees, I have something to say. After the end of the world, most active military personnel have been promoted to higher ranks. Min Yande was promoted from major general to general, and Lu Jianping was promoted from colonel to major general. We can't retire with our current ranks."
Several people looked at him in confusion. He was going to retire soon, so what was the point of worrying about this? Was he still expecting to receive a higher level of resettlement compensation
Bai Cheng continued slowly, "Because of our attitudes over the past six months, the capital's attitude towards us has not been very good. There was even an assassination attempt on Ah Xiao. If we retire like this, they will say we are traitors and expel us. It is not impossible that they will find an opportunity in the future and send the army to encircle and suppress us. In today's world, reputation is not as important as before, but it is still a very important thing."
He looked at his comrades and said, "If the current top military leader, Commander Fan, raises our ranks, it means that the new military he represents has recognized that we retired normally and honorably. We won't be able to make trouble in the future."
Several people thought about it, and Xu Qin agreed: "Then let's do it, but he may not agree."
Ye Xiao thought of what Lin Tantan said, that he wanted to retire with a medal in a dignified manner, and he couldn't help but laugh: "It's just a matter of talking. He will agree. I'll go talk to him."
