The Last Plant Controller

Chapter 103: Smooth Return

According to the editor, it should be available on February 1st. I will try to update more in the next few days. I hope you will continue to support me.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel."

Just when the lieutenant colonel in the command vehicle was still cursing the zombie bird in his heart, the staff officer beside him ended the call and trotted over: "All medicines have been transported to the truck, and the rest of the staff are working hard to dismantle and move the medical equipment designated by the base."

The lieutenant colonel was quite satisfied with this progress. He looked at the increasingly tight battle line through the observation window and asked: "How long will it take?"

The staff officer estimated in his mind and said: "If you want to empty all the equipment in the hospital, it will take at least more than an hour. If you only complete the basic requirements listed by the base, then half an hour will be enough."

"No need to move everything, just half an hour!"

The lieutenant colonel made a decision quickly, and then opened the general call again: "All participating units, please note that this operation is expected to be completed in forty minutes. At that time, the command vehicle will issue an order five minutes in advance, and the units that receive the retreat order can actively move closer to the main gate. Repeat..."

"Forty minutes?"

This news made all the soldiers and survivors feel relieved. They have a goal to look forward to.

"Hold on for the last 40 minutes. Everyone, be careful. Don't lose your temper at the last moment!"

The ammunition on the fire support vehicle has almost been used up. Although there is still some on the supply vehicle, the supply vehicle is now parked near the main gate and cannot be rushed over for a while. In other words, their current heavy firepower can only provide limited support. The company commander was afraid that the more than 200 survivors here would be negligent, so he reminded them again.

Fortunately, there was no major attack here for the next period of time.

It makes sense. Many zombies in the city were attracted by the Andu base. Yesterday, there were three major operations at the base, moving grain warehouses and fuel, which obviously attracted a large number of zombies. When Lin Chen and his team took action this time, the total number of zombies that could be attracted was only a few hundred thousand. If they hadn't accidentally allocated nearly half of the tanks to the city center to search and rescue the experts from southern Yunnan, and then encountered the attack of the zombie bird flock, they would not have lost so many people!

However, the process is a bit difficult, which also means that the corresponding compensation will be much better.

It is foreseeable that many of the survivors accompanying Lin Chen will be awarded military ranks and then participate in the auxiliary troops that the military is about to form. Although the military ranks and official positions given by the base will definitely not be high, and whether they can be retained in the future is also a question, it is still a step up compared to the normal promotion of soldiers.

I don’t know if my performance can get me an official position?

With this speculation, the time came to the last ten minutes.

At this time, everyone had almost no ideas. In addition to killing the zombies that appeared step by step, the survivors began to prepare for the next return journey. They were either packing up their things, or discussing what to do after returning in groups of three or two, such as having a meal together or looking for girls. Those who can participate in this commissioned operation basically have a good life in the base.

"Boss Lin, what are you doing? Anyway, the zombies can't get in, and it would be a waste to bury mines."

A "shill" recruited by Zhao Gang wanted to come over to get close to Lin Chen, but as soon as he came over, he saw Lin Chen carrying a few mines and getting off the car. He was puzzled at first, but then he persuaded Lin Chen in a self-righteous way.

"Oh, aren't we going to retreat later? I'm afraid that zombies will rush in at that time. Let's bury a few mines now, so that we can stop the zombies a little later!" Lin Chen said as he ventured forward with mines.

Of course, what he said was not true. It was just an excuse to get close to the corpses of a large group of zombies. Lin Chen's real purpose was the soul crystals dropped by the zombies he killed, including silver crystals dropped by second-level zombies. At this moment, these fragments, totaling hundreds of crystals, were scattered all over the ground. Although some soldiers happened to pick them up, they disappeared instantly after they got them, and they didn't know what they had caught. After all, only people with superpowers can drop soul crystals when they kill zombies, and only people with superpowers can pick up soul crystals!

While many survivors were about to leave and he had an excuse to bury mines, Lin Che picked and picked some silver crystals and put them all in his pocket. As for those ordinary soul crystals, Lin Chen was too lazy to pick them up. After all, staying too long would arouse other people's suspicion.

"Come back, prepare to withdraw!"

The company commander looked at his watch and issued an order to his subordinates.

Lin Chen quickened his hands and pretended to throw a few mines into the pit, then covered them with soil and ran back. With these silver crystals, his ability can be improved.

However, when he saw the company commander, Lin Chen suddenly had an idea. He hesitated for a moment and ran over to say hello to him.

"It's you!"

The company commander looked at Lin Chen, and his face, which had no other expression except seriousness and coldness, suddenly showed a few smiles: "Little brother, you performed well just now, thanks to you for taking the lead!"

"No way, if we don't kill the zombies, everyone will be finished!"

The company commander nodded with satisfaction and suddenly asked: "What do you want to talk to me about?" This man has been a soldier for ten years, and he has much more in his stomach than ordinary people, so he guessed that Lin Chen had something to do after a few words.

"That's right."

Lin Chen didn't mind even though he was exposed by the company commander. He knew that the company commander had a good impression of him and would most likely agree to help: "A friend of mine was beaten up and is currently lying in the hospital at the base. It's just that the medicine there is too expensive and it's hard for us to afford it. If possible, I wonder if the company commander can make some concessions. We would like to get some medicine."

"Oh?" The company commander narrowed his eyes slightly, then said: "How much do you want? Too much is probably not possible."

This actually means he agreed.

Lin Chen was delighted and said, "It doesn't need to be too much, just enough for him to recover from his wounds. Compared with the inventory of a municipal hospital, it's nothing."

"That's fine." The company commander nodded and said, "Although the base said that all medicines should be handed in before departure, the actual situation... cough cough, anyway, the rules are dead, people are alive. I'll say hello to a few brothers later. You leave the list of medicines you need and the address, and I'll ask someone to send it to you in the evening."

"Thank you!"

Although this matter is a piece of cake for people in the system, Lin Chen is still very grateful to him. After all, the two of them didn't have much friendship before, and he couldn't find anything to complain about even if he didn't help.

"It's okay, I'm optimistic about you!" The company commander smiled, as if he meant something.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, and before he could taste the meaning of the words, he heard the colonel's retreat order from the intercom next to him. Now there are only four or five minutes left before the agreed time, and all the troops not at the main gate can move closer to the main force. If they were late, it would be hard to say whether the military would wait for them.

Lin Chen did not dare to hesitate and quickly got into Shi Xuanxuan's car.

"Retreat!"

The company commander gave an order, and the survivors and soldiers who had been prepared for a long time quickly evacuated.

When many zombies rushed in with countless broken bodies, they found that the humans who had been blocking them had left.

"Survivors who have not yet gathered, please speed up, the main force is about to break out!" Under the urging of the lieutenant colonel, Lin Chen and his team drove to the main gate. At this time, most of the survivors who had been scattered had arrived. At this moment, everyone, including Lin Chen, was shocked by the sea of ​​corpses in front of them. From a distance of a hundred meters, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of zombies fell to the ground, and the most places even piled up into small hills. Even so, there were still countless zombies stepping on countless broken limbs and flesh to rush into the main gate.

Compared with the battle here, Lin Chen's defensive battle at the back door was nothing.

However, before Lin Chen could sigh, the tanks deployed on the front line received the order and started moving in unison. With a huge roar, the subsequent military transport vehicles and armored vehicles started together. Lin Chen and his team were refreshed, knowing that they were about to break out.

Everything was roughly the same as when they rushed in. The convoy took the remaining tanks as the lead, blasted a path with artillery fire, and then broke out first. The only difference was that there were more zombie corpses on the road, and the flesh and blood were entangled in the wheels and tracks, causing a lot of trouble for the car.

It seemed that they had sensed that these surrounded "prey" were going to leave, and the zombies in the distance couldn't help but become manic. Some second-level zombies hiding in the back accelerated and rushed over, trying to tear the convoy apart. The zombies that came from other directions also surrounded them vaguely, intending to encircle and annihilate everyone here.

Unfortunately, the firepower of the convoy backed by the regular military forces exceeded their imagination!

At this last moment of the breakout, under the command of the lieutenant colonel, all the artillery bombarded without reservation. The machine guns and fire support vehicles also opened fire at full force, and they cut a bloody path through the huge zombie swarm.

Before the real third-level zombies, human tanks and artillery were still invincible!

In an instant, the entire convoy drove out of the municipal hospital. Without layers of obstacles, the convoy gradually increased its speed to 70 kilometers per hour. Ordinary zombies could no longer catch up with the convoy, and the second-level agile zombies were not enough in front of the convoy's powerful firepower. Even though they were unwilling, those zombies could only stop sadly after chasing for a distance in vain.

This commission was completed!
