Virus Throne

Chapter 21. The beast walks alone

[Notice from the Awakened Council:

Awakened persons who receive this message must arrive at the designated meeting point before 9:00 am on December 1, 2035, the Earth Star Era.

If you fail to arrive on time, you will be deemed to have automatically exited the Council of Awakened Persons.

Awakened Council 00QG025 Human Base Branch

Meeting point: No. 700, Yanjing West Road]

Xu Youran looked at the notice and thought secretly.

Is this the formal establishment of the Awakened Council?

Ready to start posting quests on behalf of the Council?

December 1st is the day after tomorrow. I’ll ask who else is going and let’s go together.

On the morning of December 1, Xu Youran, Zhang Haiyang, Yu Yue, and Cheng Lin took a military vehicle to the assembly point.

This time the regiment sent them an unmanned Dongfeng Warrior.

The rough and domineering green jeep drove quickly on the streets of Nanjiang City where there were almost no vehicles.

In early winter, the tall plane trees on both sides are covered with yellow leaves, and the streets are also covered with dead leaves.

Nanjiang, which used to be prosperous, lively, and filled with endless traffic, seems to have entered the end of the world and is desolate.

Pedestrians occasionally seen on the roadside are fully armed, often with sticks in their hands.

Once there is any disturbance, it is like a frightened bird.

Xu Youran looked out the window and said quietly: "I really don't know when the peaceful life will be restored..."

There are many government agencies on Yanjing West Road, but what I didn't expect was that No. 700 was the original provincial government office.

When the military vehicle arrived at the door, it was stopped by guards. They carefully checked and verified the identities of several people before letting it go.

When we arrived at the gathering building, both sides of the road were already lined with vehicles of all kinds.

Mainly military vehicles, but also a few local vehicles.

Several people entered the building and were led by the guide, and soon arrived at a very large conference hall.

There were already more than a hundred people sitting in the conference hall. Except for a few who were wearing casual clothes, the vast majority were wearing the same black camouflage combat uniforms as them.

The four of them found their seats and sat down in order.

The conference hall was very quiet, and the atmosphere was even a little depressing.

Although these awakened people may not have received formal military training, if they stay in the military camp for a long time, they will inevitably be infected with the style and habits of some soldiers.

After a while, some awakened people came in one after another, they must have just arrived.

Everyone is in silence, waiting quietly.

When the time was close to nine o'clock, a group of people walked in from the door on the other side of the conference hall.

The leader was an officer in his fifties, wearing a regular army combat uniform with the rank of major general on his shoulder straps.

There were several soldiers and a few people in civilian clothes behind, and Professor Chen was walking among them.

Everyone was waiting to sit down at the main table in the conference hall. The time was exactly 9:00.

The major general flicked the microphone and said without any nonsense: "Hello everyone, my name is Zou Ziliang. I was the former commander of the 7th Division of the First Group Army of the Eastern Theater of Daqin. Currently, the commander of the 00QG025 Human Base Rapid Response Force."

After introducing himself, he pointed to Professor Chen next to him, "Professor Chen Xinghe, deputy director of the New Energy Research Institute of Daqin Research Institute. Most of the other leaders of the groups should be familiar to you, so I won't introduce them one by one. ”

A very typical military style, acting resolutely and getting straight to the point, "I'm calling everyone here this time because of a very important battle plan that needs your help. Please tell me Professor Chen in detail."

Professor Chen cleared his throat, "The detailed combat plan will be sent to everyone's mobile phones in the form of a top-secret email after the meeting. It has been some time since I brought my team to Nanjiang from the Imperial Capital. Everyone here is During this period, we carefully selected the elites from more than a thousand awakened people in Nanjiang."

Professor Chen lit a cigarette regardless of what others thought, "Your political background and combat contributions are among the best among more than a thousand people. We are honored to inform you that you will be the first batch of awakened people to review members."

Not everyone who received the notice knew what the Awakened Council was about.

After hearing what Professor Chen said, everyone started talking in low voices below.

Professor Chen continued: "The Awakened Council is the latest administrative organization established by the Great Qin government. It is a deputy state-level unit, under the jurisdiction of the Government Affairs Council, and at the same level as the Military Department."

"Wow!" Everyone below was in an uproar, and Xu Youran was also shocked.

Although the awakened people here are not regular soldiers, they still understand simple common sense.

Although the Military Headquarters is also a deputy state-level unit, it accepts the leadership of the Military Commission.

Now the newly established Council of Awakened People actually accepts the leadership of the Government Affairs Council, which turns into two systems.

Professor Chen seemed to want to remain silent and say, "The current Supreme Speaker of the Council of Awakened Ones is General Ye Yunmie. At the same time, he is also a gold-level awakened person who has awakened four times, and is by far the strongest warrior in our country. He is very likely to be the first gold-level awakener in the world."

"Wow!" All the awakened people here seemed to have boiled a pot and asked around.

Xu Youran also didn't expect that the gold-level awakened person that Professor Chen mentioned was actually a military general.

"Quiet!" Commander Zou Ziliang interrupted everyone's noise.

Professor Chen continued, "The Awakener Council has temporarily set up ten seats for members, and they will be the third awakeners in various human bases. Comrade Zhang Tianbing will be the member of our 025 base. Comrade Zhang Tianbing will speak a few words."

The awakeners present are basically black iron awakeners, and there are only a handful of bronze awakeners who have awakened twice.

Now Nanjiang has actually had a third awakener, and this news has also shocked everyone.

A man in his thirties in casual clothes stood up from the main row of people.

He is less than 180 cm tall, his hair is neatly combed, and he is not ugly.

With a faint smile on his face, he looks like a gentle teacher, "Hello, friends, I am temporarily serving as a member of the 025 base awakener council. This is the trust of the organization in me. I will also lead this team well and try not to let everyone down. Please take care of me in the future."

After that, he waved his hand to greet everyone.

Most people were quite receptive to the new committee member's selling and showing goodwill, and responded one after another.

Zhang Tianbing continued: "We are a newly established department, many systems are not perfect, many systems are still missing, and many leadership positions are vacant. For the time being, our merit system is tied to the merit system of the military, and everyone's merits in the Awakener Council can be exchanged in the military."

Everyone is in the military's merit system, more or less, and they feel relieved when they hear him say this.

"Our mission this time can be said to be the first large-scale mission established by the new department. And it is a task formulated to cooperate with the military's operation to eliminate mutant beasts. I hope everyone can make achievements and fill the vacancies in our council as soon as possible."

In just a few words, Zhang Tianbing threw out the sugar coating and promised positions.

The awakened people present below felt very excited. At least from now on, they are no longer wandering ghosts, nor are they affiliated or non-staff members of the military.

Zhang Tianbing waved his hand, "We are a young department, and the entire management team is also young. We have to do something to show everyone that we awakeners are not a mess. A bright future is waiting for you, and the executive seats of the 025 base awakener council branch are waiting for you!"

Everyone applauded in response, but Xu Youran knew how dangerous this mission would be, and everyone seemed to be happy a little too early.

Zhang Tianbing stood up, "All of us here are the first batch of members tentatively appointed by the council. I hope to see everyone become formal members as soon as possible. To protect our hometown, to protect our people, and for all mankind to defeat the virus as soon as possible! Comrades, go out bravely! Let the mutant beasts know who is the master of the world!"

Everyone's emotions began to be mobilized, and they stood up and applauded, with hope in their eyes.

Xu Youran saw Zhang Haiyang and the others stood up, so he stood up too.

He thought to himself, this guy used to do pyramid selling, right? He is so good at fooling people.

"Okay, that's all for today. You can check the mission introduction now. I suggest that you form a team to carry out this mission. It's best to be alive. Your safety is what I care about most. You have evolved, and you are new humans. The future of Daqin depends on you, and the future of mankind depends on you!"

The crowd's emotions continued to rise, and Zhang Tianbing had gradually controlled the rhythm, and they applauded and cheered.

Zou Ziliang, Professor Chen, Zhang Tianbing and others left the scene one after another, and a group of awakened people opened their wrist phones to check the mission details.

[Daqin Awakener Council 025 Base Branch, Order No. 1.

This order is issued to cooperate with the military to implement the fourth-generation super bomb to focus on the powerful mutant beast plan.

Awakened people who accept this mission, please be sure to report within 30 days.

All silver-level or above mutant beast gathering places within 50 kilometers around the 025 base in the form of accurate coordinates to the regiment-level units under the military.

After 30 days, the military 025 base corps will implement a precise small-yield, non-radioactive super bomb strike.

The rewards for this mission are as follows:

Determine the exact coordinates of a silver-level mutant beast once, and you will be awarded a bronze merit.

Determine the exact coordinates of a gold-level mutant beast once, and you will be awarded a silver merit.

It can be accumulated, and this reward is a non-transferable merit. ]

After everyone finished reading the mission, the scene was quiet.

Xu Youran was not particularly surprised because he had a general understanding of the mission content before, but he was very interested in the mission reward.

Everyone looked at each other.

The audience was basically all black iron awakeners, and the first task was to let everyone find the nest of the silver-level mutant beast.

Is this too long?

No matter how dumb the silver-level mutant beast is, it will definitely crush these awakeners in terms of physical fitness, attack power, defense power, and movement speed.

Maybe when everyone finds the nest of the mutant beast, it will be the time for everyone to die.

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "Are you asking us to deliver food?"

Xu Youran whispered to Zhang Haiyang and the others, "This mission is extremely dangerous. I suggest you guys don't sacrifice your lives for the sake of merit."

Zhang Haiyang and the others were also shocked by this mission. After all, all the awakened people present were not soldiers.

They really lacked the spirit and courage of soldiers to face the mission and face death with equanimity.

Yu Yue looked at Xu Youran with some doubt, "Xiao Xu, are you not going to accept this mission?"

Xu Youran said casually: "Of course I will accept this mission. It is necessary to clean up the area around Nanjiang first. But my strength is limited. Since there is a fourth-generation super bomb, we must determine the precise target of the attack. We can't just drop a large-yield super bomb and have a barbecue with the mutant beast."

Cheng Lin was also confused, "What about Xiao Xu? You won't carry out this mission with us?"

Xu Youran patted Zhang Haiyang's arm and walked out, "Let's go, let's go back. I will accept the mission, but I will carry out this mission alone. You'd better not go, the chance of death is too high."

Many people around heard Xu Youran's words, and they all looked at his back as he walked out of the door with a confused and admiring look.

Finally, someone sighed, "Cows and sheep travel in groups, but wild beasts always travel alone!"

Someone nearby was unhappy, "Who do you say are cows and sheep? You are the cows and sheep, and your whole family is cows and sheep!"

Someone else whispered, "What a pretentious guy."
