Deputy Brigade Commander Tan Xiong, regimental commanders, reconnaissance battalion commanders, and heads of the staff were all gathered around the table.
His expression was grave.
Just then, Liu Manman, who had just returned from Fuxing City, walked in with a smile on her face.
Headquarters has officially appointed her as the battalion commander of the Special Operations Battalion of the First Independent Brigade of the Huaxia Rejuvenation, and has authorized her to establish a 500-strong Evolver unit.
Therefore, she was in an exceptionally good mood.
When Peng Gang saw Liu Manman, his brows relaxed a bit, and he asked, "What good thing happened that makes you so happy? Why did Madam Bai specifically call you back?"
Liu Manman smiled and said, "Madam Bai revealed something: headquarters is planning to establish a special operations battalion in each brigade-level unit, allowing the recruitment of 200 evolved individuals."
"Our First Independent Brigade is quite special; its size can be expanded to 400 people. In the future, any evolved individuals that appear here will not need to be sent back to headquarters; we can recruit them locally."
"We are just waiting for the leader to return and issue this new proclamation."
Everyone present was stunned, and then their faces lit up with joy!
Special Operations Battalion!
The special operations battalion is finally back!
Since the establishment of the Evolver Legion, all other evolved humans in other armies, except for a small number of evolved humans used for reconnaissance, have been assigned to the Evolver Legion.
They all supported the decision.
On the one hand, they unconditionally supported the leader and Lady White's decision.
On the other hand...
Grouping the evolved individuals together can indeed achieve better results.
Even so, who wouldn't want more evolved beings in the army?
That's a safety guarantee!
After all, a fully armed evolved being is far stronger than an ordinary soldier.
Although recently, headquarters has ordered that the Third Legion, also known as the Evolver Legion, will no longer draw new Evolvers from other units.
This resulted in the First Brigade having over 100 more evolved individuals.
They were all entrusted with important responsibilities.
But no one knows whether these evolved beings will eventually be conscripted by the Third Legion again.
Now, headquarters has finally allowed other units to recruit evolved individuals again to form special operations battalions!
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, can finally be put at ease!
Peng Gang asked thoughtfully, "How many evolved beings does the Third Legion have now?"
Liu Manman smiled and said, "The exact number wasn't mentioned, but Madam Bai mentioned in the meeting that the Third Legion now has over ten thousand members, which means that there are at least more than ten thousand evolved beings."
Peng Gang and everyone else present were stunned.
Suddenly, Peng Gang smiled.
Tan Xiong smiled.
Everyone else present laughed too!
The Evolver Legion already has more than 10,000 Evolvers!
As part of the rejuvenation of China, they are also proud of this!
The stronger China becomes as it rejuvenates, the more confident they will be about the future!
Even though they were already full of confidence in the future!
Liu Manman knew what they were laughing at.
After all, when Madam Bai mentioned during the meeting that the Third Legion already had more than 10,000 evolved beings, she couldn't help but smile with pride.
Remembering something, Liu Manman asked, "When I came in just now, you all looked very serious. What happened?"
Upon hearing Liu Manman's words, the expressions of everyone present became serious once again.
Peng Gang said earnestly, "Since we arrived here two days ago, we have used more than 350 drones of various models to conduct at least three rounds of full-coverage reconnaissance over the main urban area of Yangcheng, major industrial areas, several large residential areas, and all villages and towns within a 20-kilometer radius."
He paused, his eyes filled with seriousness: "The result... is very strange."
"The initial estimate of the number of zombies, including the main urban area and the surrounding areas, is between 650,000 and 700,000, which is in line with expectations. However..."
"We repeatedly sifted through the images and videos sent back, but only found ordinary zombies and a small number of level one evolved zombies. We only confirmed fewer than ten level two zombies. As for the higher-level zombies, we didn't find a single one!"
"The situation in the surrounding villages and towns is the same; there are only scattered groups of ordinary corpses, and no zombies of level two or above have been found at all."
“This doesn’t make sense. Based on our past experience, a zombie gathering place of this size in Yangcheng should have at least four figures of level two zombies, plus three figures of level three zombies.”
"But it's not here!"
Peng Gang tapped his finger heavily on the location of Yangcheng on the map: "There should have been thousands of level two or higher zombies, but we've only found less than ten! Where did they go?! They couldn't have all gone into hiding!"
"Even if a few hid, it's impossible for all the high-level zombies to be so perfectly hidden! We deployed hundreds of reconnaissance drones, which monitored the entire city for two days, 24 hours a day!"
Liu Manman fell into deep thought.
She understood why everyone looked so serious.
Something unusual must be going on!
If such a strange situation occurs in other cities, the First Independent Brigade will most likely give up on recapturing them.
But.
Yangcheng was extremely important to their First Independent Brigade!
Because Guxiang County is undergoing major renovations, it is being prepared to be built into the most important main base and forward base of the First Independent Brigade, as well as a material transfer hub.
This requires a large amount of reinforced concrete.
Yangcheng has several sizable cement plants and steel processing plants.
It also has an enormous inventory of cement and steel bars.
If Yangcheng is recaptured, the material problem will be easily solved.
If Yangcheng cannot be subdued, in this day and age, the only way to obtain large quantities of cement and steel bars is to transport them from headquarters.
