The hall is still shrouded in smoke, and cigarettes and strong tea are always the best choices to refresh your mind.

Although, the former also acts as the best killer for cancer and death.

The tall and thin general sat in the first place as always.

On both sides of the long strip table, there were still familiar faces wearing general badges.

They sat upright, with a serious expression, and their focus was gathered on a document placed in front of them.

That is a detailed research report on silver bones by the Academy of Sciences.

The molecular structure of this new substance is listed in the location of the appearance of this new substance, the triggering causes, specific weight and volume, as well as various reinforcement effects on human nerves and bones. Due to time constraints, some of the research projects mentioned in the report do not have accurate data, only a rough percentage.

Despite this, the content of this document is still of the highest level of "AA".

No wonder there are more military police outside the venue than usual, and the supervision department has also put the protective measures tightly to the point where "any unrelated person enters the warning area, kill them all."

"You've seen it all?"

The general pointed at the documents placed on the desktop with his fingers. He narrowed his eyes slightly, which were tortured by the years and heavy affairs, and glanced at the participants sitting on both sides, his tone full of majesty.

"The report has made it clear that this is a new substance that has never appeared before. The increase in strengthening of individuals with immunity to viruses has exceeded one double. Moreover, the strength of the nerve center and bones has also been greatly improved... These abilities were once what we dreamed of. It is no longer a fantasy, but a visible and tangible reality."

A slightly fat lieutenant general picked up the file and turned to the page about strengthening the experimental data of human beings. He shook his head in amazement.

"When we first developed the first-level enhancement potion, we found that the highest strength value of the experimenter's full strength hit was far lower than the expected effect. The injector's muscle expansion power was about 250 to 260 kilograms. At that time, we found it strange - according to the standard for strengthening warriors mentioned in the top secret archives, this number should be doubled. Now, I finally understand where the problem lies? We lack an extremely important substance like silver bone. As Dean Wang said in the report: Muscles determine strength, bones are the support of the body's foundation, and the nerve center represents the speed and time required for reaction. Only when the three reach the average value can the most powerful warrior be obtained."

Opposite the table, another old-fashioned lieutenant general nodded in agreement: "According to this standard, it turns out that those soldiers who have only injected with enhancement potions can only be considered "semi-enhanced people" at most. Silver bones fill the defects in bone and nerve strength, and only when both of them produce effects at the same time can they be truly strengthened people."

“These test data are shocking.”

A major general stared at the experimental subject's strength on paper, and his breathing became heavy: "The conventional hit effect is as high as 500 kilograms, and the explosion status increases by 10 to 20%. The sprint speed of 100 meters is 4.6 seconds, and the neuron reflex speed is increased by two times. The visual and audio recognition effects are greatly improved... Unbelievable, this is even stronger than the champion of the International Special Forces Competition. We have developed immune agents, and the virus cannot pose a threat to the participating troops. Lao Zhang is right———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The Major General spoke loudly, with a strong sense of excitement.

This optimistic attitude quickly affected other participants.

Looking at the amazing data on the file, the tight and serious faces gradually became eased. Many people smiled. They whispered, and their tight eyebrows gradually stretched out. Although they had read this document a few hours ago, those data that were decisive to biological warfare were now synonymous with the word "victory".

"The production of the 9mm weapon system should be stopped immediately and instead develop a .7mm caliber single weapon system. By the way, didn't the General Equipment Department propose a conceptual model of single-soldier millimeter and 30mm machine cannon last year? In my opinion, these projects can be fully developed at the same time. With silver bones, the load-bearing and physical condition of soldiers are not a problem at all. First-level strengthening people may only be able to load .7mm assault rifles. But we are mass-producing second-level potions. As long as the raw materials are solved, the mass-producing third-level potions will not be a problem."

"Yes, from the first level to the second level, strength and physique will be increased exponentially. Many heavy weapons that require vehicles can be carried by individual soldiers. The casualty rate of front-line fighting troops can also be reduced quickly, and many people can survive."

"This is the best news I have heard since the outbreak of the virus. Those monsters no longer have a physiological advantage over us. We... call us to win-

Facing the warm atmosphere in the conference room, the general sitting in the first place slowly smiled.

He coughed a few times, signaling the surroundings to calm down, and continued: "Yesterday, when I saw this document, I talked with several chief officials of the economic and management department. They agreed unanimously: use silver bones as the basis for issuing blue coins. The Ministry of Information is preparing relevant documents and detailed terms. It will be sent to the United Nations Financial Programme for review at the latest tomorrow."

“Audit?”

The Major General was a little surprised: "Why should I submit such important information to them? Doing so is simply an open secret."

"Strictly speaking, this is not a secret."

The general shook his head slowly: "I have talked to Dean Wang, and he also tends to make the information about silver bones fully public. Although this new substance is very small in size, it does not require any technological means to find it in the zombies. In other words, anyone may find it. Haha, it is like a group of children walking by the sea, some people find beautiful shells, and some people only see sand and waves. But as long as you search patiently, you will always gain something."

Lieutenant General nodded: "This is indeed not a secret, it's just a time when it appears. Countries around the world are studying zombies, and those monsters are killed and dissected every day. Since we have known in advance, we should expand the advantages in this regard as much as possible. The last military summit of various countries determined the issuance ratio of the world dollar, and the Americans have always required the actual gold reserves to be used as a constant standard. Silver bones are equivalent to important strategic materials and can be regarded as the basis for the issuance of currency. This report must be distributed to other countries as soon as possible. Let the US dollar and gold go to hell-----"

The Major General turned his gaze back to the documents in his hand.

His thinking was changing very quickly, and he immediately thought of another question.

"According to the report of the Academy of Sciences, the number of silver bones in each zombie is about two milligrams. The frontline troops mainly bear combat tasks and cannot draw too many people to collect them. It is troublesome to obtain silver bones from zombies. Even if the second-line troops invest all the investment, it is difficult to get too much in a short period of time. I suggest: Since the news has been decided to make the news public, all the forces of civilians and wealthy consortiums should be included in it. We can open food and weapons exchanges to civilians, and collect silver bones from them through quantity comparison. As for the consortium... what they want most is to strengthen the potion. The first-level potion can be opened to them, and the exchange rate must be higher. Two thousand milligrams of silver bones are exchanged for one potion. They are not at a disadvantage. In addition, the exchange of materials and potion between the logistics department and the consortiums must be eliminated. Otherwise, they will not do it honestly as we ask."

Someone expressed different opinions: "Two thousand milligrams of silver bones... In the calculation, it takes about a thousand zombies to be lost before they can be exchanged for a potion. This is too much, right? One thousand milligrams, or eight hundred, I think it's almost done."

The Lieutenant General said in a serious tone: "I agree with the ratio of 2,000 mg. Silver bones have just been discovered, and few people know its specific purpose. Since the outbreak of the virus, a large number of zombies have been killed in the world. It is troublesome to collect silver bones from corpses, but not difficult. Those wealthy consortiums have gathered a large number of refugees, and they have enough people to do this. Well, from the current situation, the ratio of 2,000 mg is still slightly lower. Just tentatively, 3,000 mg once the information is disclosed, other countries and forces will also open up similar exchanges. At that time, the exchange ratio will be further reduced. As the production of first-order potions continues to increase, not to mention the ratio of RU0 mg, no one is willing to exchange 500. In short, this kind of thing must be as early as possible and as soon as possible. We have to be ahead of everyone. As merchants often say - maximizing profits."

As he said that, he turned his eyes to the top of the conference table.

The general nodded calmly: "The 9mm weapon system has been mass-produced. The old 8mm weapons are insufficiently lethal and can be open to civilians. Regarding the issue of world dollar issuance ratio and information reporting, it will be left to the foreign affairs department to handle. With silver bones, we will soon have a large number of strengthening soldiers. Perhaps, the war on the eastern coast will be ended in the second half of this year. The central and western regions can also gradually restore order."

These resonates.

The Major General continued to look through the documents.

He quickly found the information column about the Silver Bone Discoverer himself. Looking at the photo of Su Hao on the page, the major general kept smiling with his jaw head.

"I know this young man - the battle record reported by Chengdu last time was his innovation. The General Staff had a high evaluation of that tactic. He was discussing to carry out another similar battle in Kunming City, make a video, and then promote it in the army. Unexpectedly, he discovered the silver bone. I have to admit that this kid has a good idea in scientific research and war, and is also very lucky."

"Xu Renjie and Chen Yanlin of the 71st Army have great differences on how to treat this person."

A general in charge of personnel said with interest: "Chen Yanlin wants to give and reward Su Hao's military achievements. Xu Renjie believes that Su Hao has been in the army for too short and has insufficient qualifications, so he only agrees to formal notification and rewards."

The major general frowned and thought for a few seconds, and asked, "What is Su Hao's military rank now?"

"Lieutenant."

The general in charge of personnel paused and added: "When Chen Yanlin recruited him into the army, he was a second lieutenant officer. In less than a year, he was promoted to lieutenant.

The gray-haired Lieutenant General inserted his words: "I remember the result of his last battle. It seemed that he killed nearly 3,000 zombies. Not to mention being a lieutenant, it was enough to promote him to a school official."

The general in charge of personnel smiled and said, "Su Hao is also a member of the Academy of Sciences. He is a researcher at the level. Wang Qinian just promoted him. When he first entered the Academy of Sciences last year, he was still the lowest "P" level. Su Hao's promotion speed there was much faster than that here."

The major general's eyes flashed: "I didn't expect that he actually holds both military rank and researcher at the same time?"

The old lieutenant general cages his hands together and keeps holding each other: "Wang Qinian has a good vision in discovering talents, and is not conservative in promoting talents. In contrast, we have too many old customs and rules and regulations."

The general in charge of personnel obviously has a good impression of Su Hao. He emphasized his tone: "Director Wang has submitted a report to the United Nations General Administration of Biological Research. He recommended Su Hao to be a candidate for the next Nobel Prize in Biology. The name "Silver Bone" was also the first to propose Su Hao. As the superior unit where the discoverer and name are located, the Academy of Sciences has great advantages in technology sharing and patent research with other countries."

"It is indeed not a good thing to have too many rules. However, since it is a rule, there must be a basis for existence."

The general obviously doesn't want to waste time on this issue. He said bluntly: "In fact, Chen Yanlin and Xu Renjie have a basis for the treatment methods. This way, if Su Hao gets the "excellent" or above evaluation in the actual test arranged by the General Staff, then I believe no one will ask about his military rank promotion. In addition, please ask the Academy of Sciences and his own meaning. See if Su Hao is willing to be transferred to the combat force? He has a thorough understanding of zombies and knows the habits and characteristics of mutated creatures. Haha the army needs special talents and cannot leave all the benefits to Wang Qinian. This is unfair———”

No one objected to the general's words.

Everyone has different opinions on certain issues.

But in essence, people who can sit at this conference table have sufficient life experience. They may have conflicts over certain small things and will not drag people down on important matters.

At least not on the surface.

After all, it is no longer a peaceful era. If you want to fight against zombies, you must show enough unity.

"One more thing."

The general cleared his throat and shook out a light white crystal grain with a diameter of about 05 cm and irregular shape from the file bag.

This is a crystal that looks like quartz. It has low transparency. Looking up at the light, there are many beige substances in it. It is very turbid, and the edges have some cutting hands.

"This was discovered by the 4th Infantry Division on the head of a blood corpse."

The general picked up the crystal with his fingers and raised it to a height that everyone could see clearly: "The other troops have also discovered some similar things. They all appeared on the heads of the zombies and were close to the brain. I have sent someone to give the samples to the Academy of Sciences, and they should be able to get the test results soon."

The lieutenant general narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion: "Is this a new substance with special effects?"

With silver bones as a reference, people's thinking can easily move closer in similar directions.

“It’s not clear yet.”

The general shook his head: "This kind of crystal block does not exist in all zombies. Only particularly powerful blood corpses and humanoids can be found. The Fuzhou raid that just ended the day before yesterday, only four blood corpses were found. According to the memories of the officers and soldiers participating in the war, those mutant creatures were particularly powerful. Their running and jumping speed was extremely fast, and hard carapaces evolved from their hands and feet. If the fighting troops were not equipped with several experimental personnel who had taken silver bones, it would be difficult to stop them.

No one speaks.

People's gaze is focused on the strange crystal block. The eyes released from the pair of eyes are cold, emotional, and various complex components.

The major general sighed and could slow down his speech: "First it was silver bone, now it was crystal stone. Zombies are completely different from any form of life on earth... Sometimes I really doubt that this is no longer the world I once knew, but another completely unfamiliar space."

The old lieutenant general took a sip of tea and said heavily: "No matter what, we have to do what we should do. This is our responsibility. The responsibility of the soldier."

Now, it's March.

The sun gradually became stronger and the atmosphere on the street was even more deserted than before.

Vehicles parked in scattered places can be seen everywhere on the road, including the expensive Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and the popular Chery and Xiali.

These mechanical products that were originally supposed to be treasured by their owners, but are now discarded like garbage. Occasionally, wind blows by, and pieces of shredded paper and plastic film immediately rise on the empty streets.

Su Hao held the sharp hunting knife diagonally, his steps were very light, and he carefully observed the movements around him.

The air was filled with a pungent smell, and the ground was filled with dry and black blood marks. Just over three meters away, a lonely foot was lying horizontally.

The styles of leather shoes, black cotton socks and shoes on the feet all show that the owner of the foot is a man. The wound on the ankle is slightly above the upper part of the foot is shocking, the outermost skin is already hard, the ligaments fall off from the middle of the muscles, scattering randomly, and the edges of the broken bones are uneven, and you can even see clear tooth marks deeply imprinted into the bones.
