Chapter 789 Letter from Kyoto
Chapter 789 Letter from Kyoto
"Qin Zhong, how about you go in by yourself later?"
Standing outside the hotel, Xu Li's eyes fell on Qin Zhong and said, "I'll have someone take the others to rest first, how about that?"
Qin Zhong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Colonel Xu!"
Xu Li nodded and then arranged the adjutant beside him. Qin Chong took this opportunity to briefly explain to everyone and asked them to follow the people arranged by Xu Li to rest for a while.
After giving the instructions, Qin Zhong took advantage of Xu Li and the others not paying attention and made a subtle gesture, which was a specific gesture within Tiangang.
Since they often have to go in and out of places where zombies are, it is inconvenient to talk casually in many places, so they naturally need some specific gestures to facilitate communication between teams, so this gesture came into being.
The gesture Qin Zhong made at this moment had only one meaning, which was to be careful.
That's right, although Qin Zhong believed that Xu Li and General Feng would not harm him, but the human heart is unpredictable. Looking at what happened to Sun Xiaoyan in Kyoto, he understood that if he trusted others completely, it would be like committing suicide with a knife!
Even if he believed that General Feng and Xu Li had no intention of harming him, Qin Zhong still had to be on guard.
Who can guarantee that there are no people from other factions or forces among their subordinates?
If we let our guard down once we enter this forward base and get ambushed, that would be too unfair!
After arranging everyone, Xu Li let Sun Xiaoyan and Xin Hai enter the command center together because they were from the forward base, so that they could accompany Qin Zhong.
He Ruxue has been following Xu Li since arriving at the Qianjin Base, and it seems that she will also follow everyone into the hotel.
Everyone stored their weapons outside the hotel. After a brief search, Xu Li led a few people into the hotel.
The hotel lobby has been rearranged, with several long tables joined together and covered with various maps and documents.
Several officers were gathered around the table, discussing in low voices. When they saw Qin Zhong and others come in, they all looked up and cast scrutinizing glances at him. Xu Li quickly stepped forward, had a brief exchange of words with an officer, then turned around and waved to everyone to follow.
Going up the stairs, the second floor has been converted into a temporary rest area with several simple beds and some daily necessities.
Further up is the combat command room and communications center. From the corridor, you can hear the crackling sound of radios and the hurried footsteps of staff.
Although the entire hotel is not large, it is well organized and it can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into its planning and management.
"Enter!"
The group finally arrived at a room on the top floor. Xu Li knocked on the door and a loud voice came from inside. Qin Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly. It was the voice of General Feng.
There was also a conference room in the room. At a long conference table sat several officers in military uniforms with ranks no lower than lieutenant colonel. Sitting at the top was Feng Yuan, who was wearing a general's uniform.
But at this moment, Feng Yuan looked quite miserable, with a bandage on his head, scars all over his face, his left arm in a sling hanging in front of his chest, and his left leg seemed to be broken and bandaged, with a crutch at his side.
Seeing Qin Zhong appear, Feng Yuan struggled to stand up and extended his right hand towards Qin Zhong.
"Qin Zhong, I've long heard of your great name. I'm Feng Yuan, the current supreme commander here!"
……
Qin Zhong walked in and faced the gazes of everyone in the room falling on him. He just smiled indifferently, walked towards General Feng, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.
The next moment, Qin Zhong teased, "General Feng, your look is quite unique. It seems your department has not had a good time lately!"
"Ahem!" Feng Yuan coughed awkwardly a few times, and without responding to Qin Zhong's words, he pointed to a chair near him and said, "I'm injured, you sit alone!"
"Okay, I'm familiar with both the Kyoto government and Bureau 749. This place is on the front lines of the battle against Devil Mountain, so I won't be polite to you, General Feng!"
As he spoke, Qin Zhong sat on a chair next to General Feng, while Xu Li sat opposite him. The others took their seats, and Sun Xiaoyan and Xin Hai sat on a row of chairs against the wall.
"Qin Zhong, what are you doing here?" General Feng asked as soon as he sat down.
Qin Zhong smiled slightly, glanced at Sun Xiaoyan, and said, "Just now, I told Colonel Xu outside that I came here for two purposes: one is to bring Sun Xiaoyan back, and the other is to participate in the war."
"Oh!" Feng Yuan nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "You said before that you are now the Star Master of the Tiangang Organization and have 30,000 elite warriors?"
"That's right!"
Qin nodded and said, "I have established a base for the Tiangang in Songcheng, near the Magic City. There are more than 100,000 survivors there, including 30,000 elite warriors. However, the situation nearby is not peaceful, so some people need to stay behind to defend. Therefore, the actual number of people participating in the battle will not exceed 20,000."
"Great!"
After hearing Qin Zhong's words, everyone present looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement. They had been trapped in Su City for too long.
Now, due to the influence of magnetism, the Kyoto government has been unable to be contacted, and the number of soldiers has been decreasing. Especially since all the fighter planes were killed, there is no better way to deal with the aircraft of Devil Mountain.
If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid the number of people will decrease. When we run out of ammunition and food, the end of everyone here will come.
"By the way, General Feng, this is He Ruxue, from Bureau 749. She's contacting us on orders from the Kyoto government!"
At this moment, Xu Li suddenly spoke and introduced He Ruxue. When everyone heard that she was someone sent from Kyoto, they couldn't help but look at her.
General Feng's eyes also flashed with joy. He nodded, looked at He Ruxue, and asked, "Are there any arrangements in Kyoto?"
He Ruxue hesitated for a moment, stood up, took out a letter from somewhere, and handed it to General Feng with both hands.
"General Feng, originally, this letter was meant for Elder Yan, but since he's out of contact, and you're the highest-ranking officer here, it's the same for you!"
Feng Yuan took the letter and saw the words "Top Secret" written on the outside of the envelope. The seal was intact. He hesitated for a moment and then opened it in front of everyone.
Inside was a letter, or, of course, an order.
Feng Yuan frowned after reading it and sighed after a while. Under everyone's anxious gaze, he handed the letter to Xu Li.
"This is a joint order from Elder Shen, General Xiao, Principal Leng, and General Li. They demand that we hold on to Sucheng. They also say that Kyoto is mobilizing more soldiers and Evolvers. According to the timeline stated above, the first batch of reinforcements will arrive in ten days at most."
Soon, this order was circulated among everyone. Even Qin Zhong was asked by General Feng to take a look. The basic content was almost the same as what General Feng said.
"It sounds good to say that we can defend Sucheng, but how can we take it back?"
After reading the letter, a colonel complained unhappily, "Devil Mountain's biological weapons are increasing in number, and our casualties are mounting. If we continue fighting like this, we won't be able to hold out for even three days, let alone ten!"
"Yeah! It's not that we don't want to hold on, but killing those biological weapons almost costs human lives!"
At this time, another lieutenant colonel also complained, "Besides, even in terms of numbers, we don't have the advantage right now. If we continue to fight, we will only die."
For a moment, everyone present expressed their opinions, while Qin Zhong sat there silently, just listening quietly.
Soon, he raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself, it seems that after fighting for so long, everyone's war-weariness has become very obvious. If there are no other changes, I am afraid that this army will be dispersed again soon.
