All bases and cities have set up more than two checkpoints. Some even have as many as three or four... Of course, the specific numbers are of no significance, and there is no change in the inspection project. However, it does have good protective effects for urban safety.

The officer on duty at the city gate checkpoint is a twenty-five and six-year-old lieutenant.

He carefully checked the city entrance certificate sent by the corporal on the previous post to Xinyan and others, as well as the various documents Su Hao carried. After confirming that there was no problem, he ordered several soldiers to climb onto the truck and check whether they were carrying prohibited items.

When he returned the documents and certificates to Su Hao, the expression on the lieutenant's face was always maintained with formulaic indifference.

He saluted Su Hao and said seriously: "I'm sorry, this is not intentional harshness. Some civilians caught living zombies from outside the city and then took them into the city after disguising them. They did not have relevant procedures for raising zombies, and the protective measures were not in place. This kind of thing has happened many times in a row, and there have been alarms for zombies to injure people in the base city. We must carefully check the cargo, please understand."

Su Hao put away his officer's certificate and slightly clawed his head.

The second lie did not lie——Due to the strict protection, many wealthy consortiums will choose each base city as their daily residence. They have a large number of population and resources, and there is no pressure on food and survival. In addition, the military divides the base city into two major areas, "military control" and "civilian" according to different usage functions. The wealthy consortiums have begun to expand in civilian areas. They open shops, buy a large number of industries, and set up factories... All these actions are approved by the military.

After all, it is impossible for a city to have only soldiers. Civilization development is also inseparable from the support of a large number of people.

Death and hunger continue to erode human fear nerves. Civilians who obtain the right to live also need more entertainment and stimulation. The wealthy consortium opens casinos, bars and nightclubs in the base city. Like the peace era, some newly emerging stars have become famous through proprietary media. Especially after the military issued an order that silver bones and crystals could be exchanged for enhancement agents, the wealthy consortium's pursuit of these two biological resources has also risen rapidly to the point where the peace era is equivalent to gold and diamonds.

All of these are new industries that have emerged in just a few months. Human beings’ ability to adapt to the environment is indeed far beyond any living creature on earth.

As for the lieutenant's words about civilians catching zombies... In the eyes of Su Hao, who is familiar with history, it is actually not a lot of news.

Most of the wealthy consortiums have mutant creature raising certificates issued by the military. Initially, this certificate was specially issued to those with research capabilities. A large number of refugees flocked to the base city, and the pursuit of daily entertainment and quality of life by civilians made the wealthy consortium see a new model - they began to build underground arenas. By collecting tickets and gambling funds, the audience felt unprecedented stimulation during the bloody battle between living people and zombies.

Civilians caught zombies from outside the city, secretly transported them into the city, and then sold them to wealthy consortiums to obtain profits from them.

In the later stage, special monster hunters soon appeared. They held a license issued by the military and had strict confinement devices. Although mutant creatures were captured and then escaped from iron cages, they would never cause chaos like they are now...

Chen Jiarong wanted to struggle very much and wanted to shake Su Hao's hand away. He twisted his shoulders desperately, but he couldn't break free from the iron-plied tiger's mouth.

Looking at those eyes, Chen Jiarong suddenly felt his scalp numb. It seemed that Su Hao, who was sitting in the cab, was not a human at all, but the most fierce and cruel blood corpse.

"Remember she is my wife———"

Su Hao flipped the last two words very long, but his expression was so calm that he seemed to have nothing happened.

He slowly let go of his hand, stepped on the clutch, and drove away with a dreadful and intense aura.

The Army Headquarters is located on the south side of the base city.

The area here is not large, almost one-sixth of the entire base city. It is surrounded by isolation belts more than 200 meters wide, which are used to distinguish between military-controlled areas and civilian areas. Various fortifications are built around the cordon, and there are as many as hundreds of tall warning towers. The load weapon is two double-equipped 30mm air-proof cannons, and there are also some armed soldiers holding large-caliber sniper rifles on the roof.

Towers are erected inside the entire base, with the largest number in the military-controlled area. They are of varying heights and cover each other with the ground fortress. The spacious surrounding roads connect barracks and mechanical equipment warehouses. In case of emergencies, armored troops and infantry can quickly enter the battle and annihilate the enemy with dense and fierce firepower.

This is just the part on the ground that can be seen by the eyes. In such a narrow area, of course, it is impossible to maintain the normal operation of the entire army headquarters. The real core is underground. There are fully equipped heavy machinery factories, large repair workshops, artificial photosynthetic farms, hospitals... that is another world, and ordinary people can't find out what it is.

After several checkpoints and layers of inspections, the convoy finally drove into the core area of ​​the headquarters and slowly stopped in front of a three-story building.

The officer on duty checked Su Hao's certificate documents and pointed out the direction, floor, and room in detail. Then he said sorry that only resident soldiers and civilians with special passes can enter the headquarters management area. Except for Su Hao, Xinyan, Tang Zi, Wang Jundi and Yang Lulu, they are not listed here. They can only wait outside. Moreover, the vehicles and personnel must be temporarily handed over to the guards for supervision.

Su Hao nodded calmly and did not express his objection.

This is normal and is completely in line with the rules.

The office of the Chief of Staff of the Army Chen Yanlin is located on the second floor. When the officer on duty took Su Hao into the room, he looked at the huge map on the wall and pondered.

The sound of knocking on the door made Chen Yanlin clear from his thoughts. He looked at Su Hao, who was standing in a standard position in front of his desk, and a smile slowly appeared on his cold face.

"Relax, don't be so restrained."

Chen Yanlin walked back to his chair and sat down. He stared at Su Hao with interest and asked kindly: "Do you want something to drink? Do you like coffee or tea?"

Su Hao smiled faintly and said seriously: "Thank you for not having to worry about this."

This is not a pretending gesture or a sign of nervousness and fear.

Su Hao has rich life experience. He is very clear that this kind of invitation is often just superficial politeness, specifically used to bring each other closer together.

Li Daoyuan once said that Chen Yanlin, chief of staff of the army, had a good impression of him, and the original order of the second lieutenant was issued by this person.

It is undeniable that Su Hao does have a certain affection for Chen Yanlin, but it does not mean that he can sit down and have tea and chat like an acquaintance.

The other party's rank is major general and his position is chief of staff of the army.

Su Hao is just a lieutenant.

Besides, this is the first time we have met.

Chen Yanlin did not waste too much verbal on this issue. He nodded and went straight to the topic.

"All your information, including recent combat records, is reported to the Military Archives Bureau by the KD03 base. The Military Department has a good impression of you. Especially for the new tactics for urban warfare design, the General Staff's computer simulation evaluation score is very high. Haha... At the joint meeting of the Military Department, someone even proposed that you should be responsible for commanding a similar small-scale actual combat. Considering your age and qualifications, and not having the experience of commanding combat troops, this proposal can only be temporarily put on hold.

These words are obviously explaining.

Su Hao did not comment, but just remained silent.

"You are a researcher at the Academy of Sciences and have a deep understanding of mutated organisms. Although the conditions and equipment here are not as good as those at the Academy of Sciences, they are always much better than those in private institutions. Your establishment may be affiliated with the New Equipment Development Office."

Chen Yanlin paused and continued: "From now on, you have to undergo three-month military training. This is the rule, and no one is exceptional. The same is true for officers."

Su Hao continued to remain silent. He stared at the general calmly, as if he wanted to find answers to certain questions from the other party's eyes.

Chen Yanlin kept smiling: "I saw you parked your car outside. Why, you don't seem to be alone?"

"There are a few friends and a little girl who met when I was in Kunming."

Su Hao simply explained: "In addition to them, there are also my wife, a total of four people."

Chen Yanlin laughed "hehe": "You got married? When did it happen?"

"Last month. It's just that there was no wedding, everything is simple."

"Then I should add a gift."

As he said that, Chen Yanlin took out a kraft envelope from the drawer and handed it to Su Hao, saying with concern: "You can place the civilian area they temporarily resettled. Wait until the three-month training period is over before making plans. As for your wife... according to the regulations, she can live in the peripheral family area. It also falls within the scope of military control and is very safe."

"Thanks"

Su Hao smiled and said, "There is one more thing, I want your help."

Chen Yanlin sat up straight and smiled and said, "Tell me."

"It's about that kid. I hope to give her a chance to go to public schools in base city."

"Oh? Do you want to adopt her?"

"It's almost the same, but the child is very independent. She may not call me father. At most, she is uncle."

Chen Yanlin nodded and his expression gradually became serious.
Chapter completed!
