370, Mutant 33

"Okay, come and sit down." Zeng Xu called him, turned back to stare at the computer, and then sighed heavily. This time, they were caught up after only living there for half a month. The South China Sea Safety Zone is really annoying, like a dog-skin plaster! There is no news either. I don't know who is leading the team, how can he be so powerful, and fall behind them!

He was furious, and the aura of terror emanated from his body, but the boy was not afraid, saying: "Let's fight back! It's so embarrassing to hide like a turtle!"

Zeng Xu shook his head: "We can't beat them. The South China Sea is too weird, and weapons targeting us emerge one after another. Now all bases are expanding outward and building a kind of tower. That kind of tower has too much restraint on us. I personally approached it, and there was an invisible force tearing my body. I stood for less than five minutes. I came back and ate ten human food to make up for it."

I wanted to destroy the tower, but if I got closer, there was another suction force in the tower, which was going to crush him and suck him in. He dodged quickly, and the bullet fell behind him. There is a shadow capture device installed in the tower! There are also snipers!! Zeng Song was seriously injured during that trip. He looked at the turrets and gun barrels protruding from the tower with resentment and turned away.

"Nanhai Safety Zone..." The boy rolled his eyes and turned back to find a photo. It was a woman sitting in a car. Only half of her face was photographed. I heard that she was his biological sister. "My biological sister." He licked his lips and showed a greedy expression. He was a natural mutant, but the process of becoming stronger was the same as other people. He also craved the power of kinship. This should be his only relative at present. Otherwise, he would have to wait until he grew up to have children, which would be too late...

There was no march at night. The army camped on the spot for the night. On the way, the survivors had been interrogated. Chen Ying found an important clue and came to report to him before dawn.

Looking at the news written in the report, Yu Heng checked the age and it really matched. Zheng Qiang, nine years old this year, is a congenital mutant who grew up eating living people. The survivors had seen him disappear, which matched the special ability of Zheng's mother back then.

"He has really grown up." He sighed. It was not because of the illusory kinship, but because Zheng Qiang was one of the only two congenital mutants that appeared so far. The other one was born seven years ago and was said to have been discovered by a base in the west, but has not been caught yet. Such mutants pose a more terrifying threat, and of course, they also have better research value. He was still thinking before that Zheng's father was so crazy that how could he let his son go? Those words should have been coaxing Zheng's mother. Now it seems that Zheng Qiang has grown up, and something must have happened during this period. I don't know who is the fat meat on the chopping board.

"Can you draw a portrait? Then ask them carefully about their impression of Zheng Qiang's appearance."

The next day they set off as usual. This time, he brought enough food and weapons, and there were enough people. If everything went well, he could visit two more mutant bases that had been detected. At noon that day, Zheng Qiang's portrait was placed on his desk. What was rare was that Zheng Qiang did not look gloomy and cruel as imagined. His eyes were very similar to Zheng's mother's, with baby fat and a naturally hooked mouth that looked good-tempered, which was the same as Zheng's father. This was just an ordinary little boy.

"They said that he looked 70% like him. I'll have someone modify it and it should be 80% like him."

"Okay, let's do it. After the painting is finished, it will be distributed to various safe areas, so that they can be careful."

Finally, Yu Heng got the final product, collected a copy and put it in the book, and planned to burn it for Zheng's mother when he returned.

This trip took more than half a year. During this period, they replenished supplies in two other safe bases, rested twice, and finally returned to the South China Sea. After a trip, the new recruits brought out specially were almost tempered, and some of the more outstanding ones were already able to stand on their own. In this process, casualties are inevitable. Not all mutants believe in "one step back, the sky is wide open". Some mutants not only do not escape, but also want to fight to the death.

The process of growing up is always accompanied by blood and sweat, but as long as you step into the big gate of the safe zone, listen to those shouts, and look at those arms shaking vigorously, a sense of pride and pride arises spontaneously.

"We are soldiers."

Yu Heng looked out the window and saw a familiar figure. Zheng Hengli stood beside her husband. Their eldest son was already very tall, reaching Zheng Hengli's shoulders. The little daughter sat on her husband's neck, pointing at him and shouting, and you could vaguely hear her childish cry.

"Auntie! Auntie!"

He smiled and waved.

After everyone settled down and the survivors or supplies were properly arranged, Yu Heng was able to rest. Such days are not difficult, and they have been like this for all these years. Once a person stops moving, both physical functions and spirit will retreat. Nanhai is already far ahead in hardware. Lu Andong has laid a good foundation. Then, under Yu Heng's intervention, various things that do not exist in this world and this era have gradually appeared and are widely used. It can be said that as long as humans do not commit suicide, the safe zone can live well for decades.

But this is too passive, and it is not Yu Heng's style. If the safe zone is content with the status quo, once this advantage is exhausted and the mutants continue to grow, the knife and the chopping board will be reversed. As the old saying goes, it is better to kill you when you are ill, which is probably what it means. In short, after he took control of the military power of the South China Sea Safe Zone (including the Yunhai Safe Zone, Darong Base and other scattered safe zones in the southeast region that were later merged), he started the ten-year cleanup plan.

Every two years, he would personally lead a team out, take the promising youngsters with him, and train them on the way. When they come back, they will have a lot of experience, courage, and ability, and provide talents for the military in the security zone.

This year should be the last time that the South China Sea is cleaned up on such a large scale. Yu Heng circled the map with a red pen. There are not many places where mutants can move. If they want to send troops again, they will have to go too far and waste their energy. It is better to let the local security zone handle it on its own. This time, he led the team for eight months. The battle line was too long and the soldiers were very tired. There are also supplies, which are big problems.

He shook his head. More than ten years have passed. There are many security zones, which is equivalent to the division of domestic power. Not every security zone is friendly. The exchanges between security zones now are very similar to those of the vassal states in ancient times. Interests are the top priority. If you want to get assistance, you need to establish diplomatic relations first. The other party is worried that their army entering the security zone is not well-intentioned, and they are also worried that the other party has bad intentions!

Therefore, it was no longer realistic to go further. He thought about it and held a meeting to formulate a new ten-year plan: steady development.

"When pushed to the extreme, the mutants will definitely rebound and fight to the death. But I estimate that it is not yet time. Now, only we and the Hujing base have done the best job in cleaning up the outside world. There is a large area around other safe zones that has not been recovered, and the mutants still have a place to breathe."

At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions, and the idea was similar, that is, to wait. The snow in front of their house has been cleared, but it is not easy to reach out to others' houses - if you are not careful, you will be chopped off, the risk is too great. Their soldiers in the South China Sea are also living people, and there is no need to take such a big risk.

So the old ten-year plan was completed ahead of schedule, and the new ten-year plan officially began.

The South China Sea safe zone has developed better, but news of mutants from outside has been coming back from time to time. Almost all the nests of mutants in the southeastern region were destroyed by the Nanhai Safety Zone. They could only move out continuously. Other bases did not have such a strong cleanup force. As the saying goes, a kind person will be bullied and a kind horse will be ridden. When hungry, mutants also need to eat, so of course they have to choose some soft persimmons to attack. They did not go to the safety zone either, but just stayed outside and stared at the hunting teams.

Later, I heard that three bases were closed in the whole city. Yu Heng shook his head and did not think it was a good idea.

Time passed quickly. After barely being free, he had more time to read books. There were already a lot of books in Nanhai. When collecting materials, books were also included in the list and could be exchanged for work points. The safety zones outside came to Nanhai to buy equipment and sent books at his request. This also had another advantage. Schools in Nanhai never lacked books, and schools could be established one after another. After the initial talent gap, the education system in Nanhai was rebuilt to provide suitable talents for various industries.

Yu Heng knew that it would probably be like this in the past few years. Now humans have a slight advantage, and time will continue to widen the gap between the two sides. Then the Jedi will rebound, and there will inevitably be a war between humans and mutants. It will be another life-and-death duel that will completely change the world pattern.

They and they are all brewing, waiting to give each other a fatal blow. It is hard to say how many years this process will take. All he can do is to keep tightening the strings for everyone, using work points and honors to spur them to keep moving forward. Nanhai will hold two large-scale events every year (accepting commissions from other security bases to help clear out mutants) and at least four military exercises (the activity area is in the southeast region).

The southeast region has been completely recovered. With the original security zone as the core, they began to relocate residents and move crowded industrial areas. The original dense dormitory management has also begun to return to the previous one-family living mode. The protective shield has been made, and the coverage area has expanded with the activities of the relocated residents. Ten years have passed, and the living style of people in the Nanhai Security Zone has been very close to that before the end of the world, but the big conflict predicted by Yu Heng has not yet arrived.

There is no other mysterious reason, it's just that the security zones are fighting, and it's useless for Hujing Base to mediate. In fact, the influence of Hujing Base has declined a lot. The South China Sea Security Zone has emerged as a new force, but it still stays in the southeast and has no intention of dominating. Various technical equipment has flowed out of the South China Sea Security Zone, greatly arming the power of various security bases. Today, in the 26th year of the end of the world, the armed forces of various places are actually not much different - the weak ones have been destroyed by mutants long ago.

How can people say this? I can only curse, "Those idiots!" At first, Yu Heng would curse a few words, but after watching for a few years, he was too lazy to curse.

Humans are great creatures that can seek life from desperate situations, but they are also bastards who can keep dying.

At the beginning of the 28th year of the end of the world, Yu Heng once again suppressed a civil war for power. Zheng Hengman was a woman to the outside world, and the world always has prejudices against women. In the past twenty years since he came to power, he has encountered countless handsome men. It seems that they always feel that although she, an unmarried old woman, looks serious and solemn on the outside, she must be a dry wood that is eager to burn, and she only needs a raging fire to burst into flames.

So when making plans against him, there are always batches of handsome men, all kinds of styles. They wish he would fall in love in the next second, so that they can be the men behind Zheng Hengman.

In addition to him, they also make trouble for Zheng Hengli's family, but under his careful protection, Zheng Hengli's family has not encountered any major problems.

At the end of the 28th year of the apocalypse, the Central Security Zone brought a shocking bad news to Nanhai. The Northwest Base was captured by mutants in May, and the whole city had already fallen. The mutants had concealed it for nearly half a year, and they must have established a firm foothold at this time. After the news came out, the whole country was shocked.

Thinking carefully, this is not surprising. There is only one safety zone in the northwest, and the location is the most remote. The mutants must have carefully selected that base. Perhaps years of dormancy are just for this day's attack.

Yu Heng thought, this day has finally come.
