I pick up trash at the end of the day

"Sorry, I'm late."

During the battle, everyone in the room had already arrived, and Dr. Yuan hurriedly opened the door to come in. Only her seat was left empty.

"What are you dawdling about? The assembly broadcast was released 10 minutes ago, why are you late!"

"I'm sorry, Chief of Staff, I..."

"I'm sorry, is it useful? Don't forget that this is a barracks, it's an army, and the army has its rules! Can you take responsibility if you delay the business!"

"Yes……"

Dr. Yuan lowered his head silently, and sat back in his original position obediently, not daring to argue.

"Hehe, Chief of Staff, don't be too harsh on Dr. Yuan."

Aaron lifted the frame of his eyeglasses, and took a sip of coffee with a half-smile: "Dr. Yuan's primary duty is to monitor the health status of the sentries in the barracks. If you are late, there must be an urgent matter in the medical room. Since it is a duty In the body, how can there be a violation of military discipline, the chief of staff is really serious."

The chief of staff snorted coldly and shook his head contemptuously: "Is there any place for you, an outsider, to speak here?"

"Hey, it seems that the chief of staff has a problem with those of us who are engaged in scientific research?"

"This is the war room, not a place for you to chat."

The general interrupted their redundant words and waved his subordinates to distribute the battle plan.

"Yuan Ning, please introduce the specifics of this mission."

Dr. Yuan pulled out his chair and got up, quickly adjusted his mood in a few steps, turned off the lights, and opened the holographic map of the war room.

"Everyone here should be aware that recently, the intelligence department of our army has often detected an anonymous communication signal, but we have been unable to decipher the information in it, and we have not been able to determine where the signal was sent. The confirmation has preliminarily ruled out the possibility of our own people, but who did this has not been able to find out so far.”

"This matter seems to have happened before we came."

Dr. Aaron raised his head and glanced at the chief of staff, but the chief of staff pulled his face and said nothing about it.

"Well, I remember that apart from the fact that the place where the signal was launched could not be verified, the information intercepted by the intelligence agency is also very incomplete, and the frequency of the signal is also uncertain. The most important thing is that it seems that the capital has not received relevant reports. Could it be that Some people deliberately let it go and turn a blind eye, right?"

The chief of staff flicked the plan in his hand and stared at Aaron: "Doctor, you better have evidence for what you say."

"Zuzuzu, don't be angry, it's just a little joke, why take it seriously?"

The general glanced between the chief of staff and Dr. Aaron, and then flipped through the battle plan: "Yuan Ning, keep talking."

Dr. Yuan stood in front of the holographic map and marked a small red dot in the upper right corner of the map: "Everyone knows about this unknown signal, so I won't go into details. Until this morning, according to the latest feedback from the intelligence department, We have successfully searched for the emission area of ​​the signal, roughly in this area."

Dr. Yuan reached into the holographic map with both hands, one arm apart, and further zoomed in on the position marked by the little red dot.

Everyone present turned their attention to the enlarged area on the map. For a while, everyone frowned and began to discuss in private.

"Quiet."

The general scolded sharply, and the war room suddenly fell silent.

"Are you sure?" the general asked.

"Although the exact coordinates cannot be determined, the approximate location is correct."

The chief of staff looked at the holographic map and asked, "Do you know where it is?"

"The Almanac Mountains."

Dr. Yuan naturally investigated the information there, and said confidently: "There is one of the high-walled fortresses that can survive for human beings. However, the local precipitation is relatively low and the land is barren, which is not the best place for human survival. .Moreover, it was deserted more than ten years ago due to the attack of the zombie wave."

"Since you know it, do you still believe in this 'signal sending place'?"

"Hehe, Chief of Staff, it's because we know that we believe in it."

Aaron got up, raised his hand to zoom out the holographic map, then called up a folder full of photos, clicked to zoom in.

"According to the military records, the capital city didn't plan to build a fort here at first, but the reason why the capital city was forced to do so was because, here, there is a military laboratory. I'm right."

"Yes, it's not wrong," said the chief of staff, "Combined with the existence of the laboratory, there are indeed conditions to send signals here. But you should also know that the laboratory and the high wall fortress were abandoned more than ten years ago, The military took away all the equipment and research materials when they evacuated, and the military satellites also conducted a comprehensive scan of the place, confirming that it has become a desert, even so, do you still want to say that your information is accurate?"

"Why, don't you allow there to be survivors?"

"Survivor? Hehe, a joke."

The chief of combat staff laughed loudly: "Do you know the consequences of being swept by the tide of zombies, you little glasses who grew up in the laboratory? Not to mention survivors, even the plants and trees on the ground cannot survive. If it is true If there are any survivors, I am afraid that he would have joined the zombies and sent signals? Humph, what a fool's dream."

"There are no original survivors, so is it not allowed to migrate over later?"

Dr. Aaron said: "At any rate, it is one of the fortresses where humans once lived. You know that it is in ruins, but it does not mean that everyone knows it. Maybe after the baptism of the zombie tide, there are survivors who migrated from other places here. How about building a new city?"

"Heh, doctor, we should follow the Basic Law when we make assumptions, right?"

The chief of staff pointed to the photo on the holographic screen and said: "You have also seen that the high wall of the fortress in the photo has been destroyed, and there is no grass in the place polluted by the blood of zombies. How can human beings survive without basic living conditions and safety guarantees? Let alone Build a new fortress. Hehe, Dr. Aaron, you, a researcher who has never been on the battlefield, don’t jump to conclusions here.”

"Hee hee hee, yes, the chief of staff is right, but..."

Dr. Aaron adjusted his glasses, propped his chin, and looked at him with a childlike innocent smile: "My dear Chief of Staff, do you have any misunderstanding of human survival instinct? Now, you have long lost your basic desire to survive as a human being?"

"Enough, don't quarrel! This is a battle meeting, if you want to quarrel, let me go out and quarrel!"

The general slapped the table, and the majestic aura suddenly shook the entire war room into silence.

The Chief of Staff remained silent with a cold face, while Dr. Aaron smiled faintly, sipping his coffee as if he had nothing to do with himself.

"Yuan Ning."

The general closed the battle book and asked sharply: "You also participated in the search for the unknown signal, tell me your opinion."

"Yes, I personally agree with Dr. Aaron's point of view."

Although I can't understand Aaron's behavior style and ideas, but at this point, the conclusion he said is not unreasonable.

"Judging from the information we have so far, the signal actually came from the Almanek Mountains, which means that there are signs of human existence there."

Yuan Ning looked at the increasingly gloomy face of the chief of staff and Aaron's piercing eyes with a deep smile, and felt that both sides were unbearable, so she could only pretend to turn a blind eye.

"Regardless of whether there are new fortresses or other hidden places there, since the signal has been sent out intermittently for several years, it is enough to prove that there are indeed human beings living there. I think the most important thing we should consider now is-survivors living there , or the Rebels."

"kindness."

The general nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the farthest corner of the war room, and said, "You heard me, 1029."

1029 came out of the corner silently, like a ghost lurking in the dark, startling everyone present.

"The task this time is to conduct a reconnaissance in the Almanek Mountain area. Once the rebels are found, they will be eliminated on the spot."

"Yes, the task is guaranteed to be completed."

"General," the chief of staff asked suddenly, "do you want him to carry out this task alone?"

"What's wrong with being alone?" the general said.

The chief of staff sighed, and said: "Yes, 1029 is very strong, but assuming that there is really a rebel army... it is better to send more people. I have already notified the Klaus team and asked them to go along with them..."

"Stop mentioning those trash."

"Huh?" The chief of staff frowned in confusion.

"Hehe, dear Chief of Staff, you don't know yet, those lovely subordinates of yours are resting in the water tank frame."

The general ignored the surprise of the chief of staff and said: "The combat meeting is over here. Yuan Ning has already arranged the specific matters for you. We will set off in three or ten minutes. There must be no mistakes."

Watching the general and his party leave, only Yuan Ning and 1029 were left in the huge war room, which seemed a bit deserted.

Yuan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the holographic screen, turned on the lights, and smiled slightly at 1029: "Let's go, I'll take you to prepare."

After leaving the war room, the two took the elevator downstairs: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have given you a task during this time, but something happened suddenly, I hope you can understand."

"My existence is to perform tasks, accident or not."

Yuan Ning will not be surprised by 1029's words.

She has been monitoring his physical condition for two years.

In the past two years, as long as the task is given, he will definitely complete it.

As for the content of the task, he never raises objections or judges right or wrong.

In his mind, there is only execution, completion, and then the next task, and the cycle starts again, that's all.

The two got out of the elevator and passed the medical room as they passed the corridor.

The door of the medical room was closed tightly, and there was a dazzling red light on the door. An indescribable sense of solemnity immediately caused 1029 to feel uncomfortable.

"There are Klaus and the three of them inside."

Yuan Ning could feel the discomfort of 1029, and explained: "When they were found, they were unconscious. They are still undergoing examination in the water tank frame, and the initial diagnosis is not optimistic."

"What happened to them?"

1029 rarely opened his mouth to talk about things other than missions, which surprised and surprised Yuan Ning.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal," Yuan Ning immediately explained to him, "It's said that it's because of a guide."

Hearing this, his mental black panther suddenly moved its ears.

"Guide?"

"Yes," Yuan Ning said, "this morning, they were ordered to distribute pensions. They seemed to encounter a wandering guide on the way, and they were tricked into a coma during the arrest process. Not only that, the emergency kit they carried It was also looted, so this mission can only let you go alone."

With that said, the two had already arrived at the garage of the barracks, and the combat vehicle and exclusive medical personnel for him had already been prepared and ready to go at any time.

"By the way, you take this."

Yuan Ning took out a bracelet from his pocket and handed it to 1029: "This is a communicator provided by the general. In case of special circumstances, you can directly contact the inside of the fortress."

"Yes, I understand."

1029 put away his bracelet and was about to get in the car, but Yuan Ning suddenly stopped him.

"Doctor, is there anything else?"

"Well, there is one more thing."

Yuan Ning glanced at the activated combat vehicle, and quietly stuffed something into 1029's hand: "For this operation, the general has given you other tasks."
