Chapter 44
A study tour on mutants caused countless students to fall into the fear of mutants.
Within two days, this feeling of fear gradually disappeared.
Because they discovered that no matter how short-staffed the training camp was, it would not leave trainees and ordinary people to deal with mutants. That would be no different from delivering food.
If a zombie tide or mutants really attacked the base later, the first thing to be brought out would be heavy weapons, and they would not be given the chance to act as human walls.
The students couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Their main training content has returned to physical fitness and practical combat training.
However, before this batch of students had been trained, the A City base gradually accepted nearly a thousand survivors.
There were another three to four thousand people crowded under the walls outside the base, waiting for almost harsh full-body examinations and stay-behind inspections.
With such a large-scale expansion, the number of trainees in the training camp also increased sharply, from more than 100 at the beginning to more than 400 later.
Wen Xin was promoted from the captain of the seventh team to the monitor of the new seventh class.
The number of students under management also increased from fifteen to forty-three.
While keeping track of the new list of trainees, he devoted more energy to practical training.
The new trainees were not frightened by the ferocious instructor, but were impressed by the gentle and hardworking instructor.
“It’s horrible!”
They patted their chests and looked shocked.
"When I came this morning, I saw the squad leader doing squats and weighted squat jumps in the training room. When I came back from lunch break, I saw him in the training room again."
"I left something behind last night. When I came back to get it, I saw the lights in the training room were still on. I walked over and saw that the monitor was still inside!"
"He doesn't need to sleep? He doesn't need to rest? He doesn't need to go to the bathroom?"
Both warm and spicy can be used.
It’s just that the training camp is a bit far from where he lives. Even if Li Yongming sends a car to pick him up, it still takes less than an hour to drive there.
In order to save time, he simply agreed with Li Yongming and rented a dormitory next to the training room.
This place is quite remote, so there aren't many houses here.
All the construction resources of the base were invested in city defense construction, leaving little room for building new student dormitories.
The place Wen Xin could get was not big.
It's about 20 square meters and can be filled with a bed and a cabinet.
Student Lin Nan came here because of its reputation. He went in with a curious look on his face and came out with a confused look on his face.
He looked at Wen Xin's nonchalant face, held his breath for a moment, and uttered two words.
"You're awesome."
Wen Xin also felt a little constrained.
But on the way to escape, I slept in a small space like a car seat.
Compared to the car chair, there is at least a bed here where you can lie down and stretch your legs, and the quilt is thick enough to keep you warm.
Lin Nan was even more impressed after hearing this, and asked sincerely, "Brother, may I ask why you torture yourself like this?"
No one understood why Wen Xin worked so hard.
Especially on the second day after visiting and learning about mutants, the young man felt like he had received hundreds of injections of stimulants.
That selfless attitude made others feel more than just admiration, it made their scalps tingle.
Only Wen Xin knew that he was working hard to improve himself as quickly as possible and obtain the qualifications to join the regular army.
When Wen Xin first saw that the snake in the video was not A-Lu, he was indeed depressed for a while.
But soon after, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
Since the dumplings are not monsters, they are mutants with traceable origins.
That means that you don't need to go to great lengths to find them. As long as you have access to information about mutants, there is a great chance that you can find them in advance.
Li Yongming hasn't seen Wen Xin for several days.
It's not that he doesn't care. After all, Wen Xin's instructor was carefully selected by him, and he would report to him immediately if anything happened.
He was just too busy to think about anything else.
Not long ago, Captain Luo and his team who rescued Wen Xin brought back a specimen of a giant zombie, but also brought back some terrible news.
Zombies have a high chance of evolving!
After learning the news, Li Yongming became busy as a whirlwind.
We need to seek confirmation from other bases or faction organizations, hold meetings with management, and urgently formulate corresponding preventive measures to implement all actions.
If the news that zombies can evolve is confirmed to be true, it will definitely be a huge blow to the survival of mankind!
When he was almost done with his work, Li Yongming finally had time to pay attention to Wen Xin's recent situation.
As a result, as soon as the instructor opened his mouth, he almost dropped the thermos in his hand.
Later, Li Yongming heard that Wen Xin almost collapsed several times on the way back after training due to excessive physical exertion. His expression was complicated.
He suspected that this statement was an exaggeration.
Until this day, Li Yongming took time out to come to the training camp. Seeing Wen Xin sweating profusely during training, he had to believe the instructor's words in shock.
He never could have imagined that Wen Xin would go to such lengths to protect his boss!
That evening, when Li Yongming reported his work to Wen Jinfeng, he also reported the young man's kindness to him.
I don’t know if the signal is bad or the signal towers along the way are damaged, causing communication delays or interruptions.
Wen Jinfeng didn't reply for a long time.
It was not until the next day when Li Yongming got up early that he received the radio message from the other party.
In addition to the review of the base's various tasks, there was also a puzzling question.
What is his purpose?
If one day, the first sentence of Wen Jinfeng's reply is not a direct mockery, it will be enough to show the sincerity of his doubts.
Li Yongming felt that their superiors' calmness ultimately prevailed.
No matter how much he cares about his younger brother, he will not be affected by the brotherly affection, but will rationally doubt and analyze the reasons behind this diligent behavior.
Sure enough, only a man like Wen Jinfeng could have managed to gain a foothold in City A and establish the current survivor base by using the most thunderous and ruthless means at the beginning of the apocalypse.
Li Yongming couldn't help but admire.
Not long after, the second telegram came.
[Forget it, tell him not to work so hard, I'll be back soon. ]
soon?
Li Yongming was stunned.
The multi-party meeting that the commander is attending this time will involve the distribution of local border minerals, which are an important source of materials for weapons construction and infrastructure construction. The old guys in other bases will definitely not give in easily.
Even Wen Jinfeng himself said that this trip might take more than two months.
How come you came back so “soon”?
Not long after, Li Yongming, who was linked to the previous article, came to his senses and had a dark look on his face.
Good fellow.
It turns out that Wen Jinfeng saw that Wen Xin was working too hard, so he returned early and planned to go to the bathroom for his younger brother as soon as he came back!
.
Time passed in the training camp.
Even though he knew Wen Jinfeng would be back "soon", Wen Xin did not slack off in his training and continued to go back and forth between the training camp and the dormitory.
Li Yongming saw this and felt even more emotional.
Such perseverance not only brought about a qualitative change in physical fitness and combat ability, but also made Wen Xin gain enough favor from the instructors.
He began to frequently inquire about news related to mutants from the other party.
According to rumors, the mutants originally originated from H City, which is where the First Base is now located.
The First Foundation discovered mutants first and conducted the most in-depth research. Most of the current reliable sources of information related to mutants come from the First Foundation.
Therefore, everyone relies on the First Foundation to some extent in dealing with the tricky issue of mutants.
Once a difficult mutant is discovered, most people will immediately seek help from the First Foundation.
In this regard, the First Base has never been stingy with its support, and even the remuneration is charged according to the sentiment, which is quite generous and magnanimous.
There is only one condition they will not budge on.
That is, after subduing the mutant, the researchers must take the mutant back for further research.
Even if the mutants died and only the corpses were left, they would collect and clean them up without missing a single one.
When talking about the First Base, the instructor expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
"Each time they cleaned up very carefully, not leaving out even the smallest piece of meat the size of a finger joint. One time they even ignored the danger of being surrounded by a large wave of zombies and cleaned up for two or three days straight, fearing that the corpses left behind would infect other animals and cause mutations."
"The number of mutants has not increased significantly until now. It can be said that the First Foundation has made great contributions."
After hearing this, Wen Xin should have been as fond of and respectful of the First Base as his instructor.
But he didn't know why, he felt very strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it.
Wen Xin suddenly remembered something: "Did the tiger we saw in the video first appear near the First Base?"
The news was told to them by the security personnel at the entrance of City A.
Instructor: “Yes.”
He frowned. "It seems they escaped from the First Base. We couldn't catch them right away, and many people died."
In addition, the tide has been rising fiercely recently.
Some people said they saw the shadow of a whale near the shallow sea, but then they thought they were seeing things.
After all, whales are adapted to the high-intensity air pressure in the deep sea, and if they come ashore they will die, so how could they appear in the shallow sea?
There are also witnesses who said that they have seen large numbers of fish migrating in the same small sea area more than once.
The types of fish are not all the same.
Wen Xin reacted immediately.
The instructor had explained to them in class that this kind of group behavior, which went against biological nature and seasonal climate, was most likely a characteristic of the emergence of an S-class mutant.
The instructor praised him for his prompt response.
Although he knew that the sea area where the mutants were suspected to exist was tens of thousands of miles away from here, he still instructed: "Even if you have to go on a mission in the future, try not to go towards the sea."
Wen Xin nodded and said, "Yes."
The instructor looked at his well-behaved and obedient appearance and suddenly laughed: "Come to think of something interesting."
Wen Xin looked puzzled.
"According to the news from the southeast, a new religious sect has emerged recently and has come into conflict with the largest religious organization in the area. What do you think their sect's declaration is?"
After the outbreak of the apocalypse, many people are in desperate situations and see no hope. They always seek some spiritual sustenance, praying for peace of mind and comfort.
When a group begins to believe in religion, the people around them will gradually be affected.
In some areas, religious organizations that have been suppressed have even revived and developed on an extremely large scale.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, everyone is in danger now, and no one is energetic enough to fight against feudal superstition.
Seeing the instructor unable to suppress his sly smile, Wen Xin felt that he might have something to do with it.
I can't guess it for the moment.
After all, he was neither religious nor had he been there very often.
Wen Xin humbly asked: "Instructor, I can't think of it."
The instructor grinned: "They said that idealism is supreme and idealism is the best!"
"If you say this 'Weixin' has an accent and the word is pronounced a little differently, it would be your name, Wen Xin!"
He patted Wen Xin's shoulder with his big hand and laughed: "When you go there, just say your name, maybe you can become a real master!"
Wen Xin: “…”
Unfortunately, he has no sense of humor and did not understand the instructor's sense of humor at all.
Wen Jinfeng kept his promise.
He said he would be back soon, so the originally scheduled two-month negotiation period was compressed into one month.
As for what methods were used in the process and how those old foxes were convinced to nod in agreement, no one knows.
After this incident, it is obvious that more and more people are becoming more wary of the name of Wen Jinfeng from City A.
But unfortunately.
When Wen Jinfeng seemed to contact Li Yongming casually and asked him to convey the good news to Wen Xin, Wen Xin had already reached the threshold to join the regular army.
He took on the mission as soon as possible and couldn't wait to follow the troops to leave City A base.
Coincidentally, the mission content is related to the emerging sect that the instructor mentioned not long ago.
Those are not the main points of Wen Xin.
What he was concerned about was the presence of fox mutants in the area.
