After Wang Can's report arrived at the Ye Province Military District Headquarters, Gu Chengyuan, who received the news first, immediately issued a notice to convene an emergency meeting.

After receiving the notice, leading cadres at all levels of the provincial military region put down their work and quickly went to the conference room on the tenth floor.

In fact, there are conference rooms on each floor of the office, and there is even a super-large conference room that can accommodate 400 people. However, every time Gu Chengyuan holds a meeting, he usually uses the conference room on the tenth floor by default.

...

Less than ten minutes after the notice was issued, the conference room was already full and almost all the people who had been notified were present.

A sweep of the screen showed that the participants, with military ranks ranging from colonel to major, took their seats in order, arranged in an orderly and staggered manner. It was pleasing to the eye, like rows of tall and sturdy green pines.

While waiting for Gu Chengyuan to come over, the leaders present could not help but look at the chief of staff Wu Bin, who was the only one sitting on the rostrum.

Everyone was very curious, what happened that necessitated an emergency meeting?

You know, the last time an emergency meeting was held was because the Airborne Assault Brigade lost three infantry battalions at one time!

cough~

Chief of Staff Wu Bin did not intend to keep the secret. After meeting the gazes of many cadres present, he cleared his throat slightly and then said:

"This meeting was requested by the commander himself. Before he arrives, let's watch a video of the topic discussed at this meeting. It was just sent from Longbao International Airport by the Second Combined Battalion of the 1st Heavy Armored Combined Brigade."

As soon as he finished speaking, a technical cadre at the side quickly fiddled with his laptop. Not long after, a video began playing on the large LCD screen in front of the conference room.

In the video, against the backdrop of the desolate and broken airport terminal, several large zombies are leading a group of small zombies, pulling a large patchwork banner together.

"We are patients. We want to return to being human beings. We also need the army's protection, not slaughter!"

At the end of the picture, there is a special close-up of a group of little zombies, each of whose eyes are rolling around, ignorant and pure.

Seeing this extremely impactful scene, the leaders present seemed to have their hearts violently struck.

Patient, protection, slaughter...

The words stained with blood are crooked, sealing the soul of a human being...

This makes them wonder, without thinking, whether the one-size-fits-all approach to ghouls is a bit extreme?

They were also human beings half a year ago, and turning into ghouls might be their desperate struggle...

They have tried every possible way to survive!

Is it wrong to want to live? The answer is yes...

I'm afraid that if anyone were to encounter the same situation as them, they would make the same choice.

Even ants try to survive, let alone humans...

...

Door~

Just when the leaders in the conference room were collectively speechless and lost in thought, Gu Chengyuan finally arrived.

"Stand up!" Chief of Staff Wu Bin shouted.

Wow~

Upon hearing this, all the military officers in the audience stood up in unison and looked at Gu Chengyuan with respect.

After Gu Chengyuan walked over to his seat and sat down, Chief of Staff Wu Bin gave another order:

"sit!"

"Have you shown them the videos?" As he spoke, Gu Chengyuan picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"Report to the commander, I have already let him go once."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan nodded, scanned the entire room, paused for a moment, and then gave the order directly:

"Meeting!"

"I'm sure everyone has just seen the topic of today's meeting. I remember that we discussed this issue a long time ago when we first encountered ghouls. However, due to our limited understanding of ghouls at the time, we have not yet reached a definite tone on the issue of ghouls."

"The purpose of this meeting is to clear up the confusion, clarify the direction, and enable the troops to have the correct way to deal with similar situations in the future!"

"Let's talk now. I want to emphasize that this meeting is only about the exchange of opinions. There is no hierarchy. Everyone can speak freely!"

"report!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a lieutenant colonel stood up immediately.

"You say!" Gu Chengyuan pointed in the direction of the cadres.

"Reporting to the commander, I am Liu Qiang, a staff officer of the Operations Department. I think that we should treat ghouls from two sides and not just one-size-fits-all!"

"We must resolutely eliminate ghouls that commit crimes against humanity, but we can consider accepting ghouls that are inclined toward humans, such as those in the video."

"Report to the Chief, I have expressed my opinion!"

"Sit down!" Gu Chengyuan nodded slightly without commenting.

"report!"

The last lieutenant colonel had just sat down when another major immediately stood up in the middle of the conference room.

"You say!" Gu Chengyuan pointed again.

"Reporting to the commander, I don't quite agree with the opinion of Section Chief Liu Qiang just now. Matter determines consciousness. People of the same species and origin are prone to change, let alone ghouls whose body shapes and habits are completely different from ours!"

"I would like to ask a question here. It is easy to accept ghouls, but how can we ensure that they can integrate into human society?"

"To put it bluntly, many people are prejudiced against people with missing limbs. How can we ensure that ghouls don't suffer discrimination?"

"If a ghoul is ostracized and criticized for a long time, can he still identify with his human identity? Will he not hate society?"

"So I suggest that while the ghouls still have a favorable impression of humans, luring them to death is also killing them, so we can get rid of them once and for all!"

"I know some comrades have sympathy for the ghouls, but I think this is the only way to truly end their suffering!"

"Report to the commander, I have finished my speech!"

After hearing the other party finish speaking, Gu Chengyuan did not ask him to sit down directly, but asked for his personal information: "What is the name of this comrade?"

"Reporting to the commander, my name is Bai Fu!" The major cadre was a little flattered when Gu Chengyuan asked his name, and his face turned red in an instant.

"Okay, sit down!"

Mark this unscrupulous and ruthless cadre.

In Gu Chengyuan's eyes, there is no such thing as unethical behavior. Apart from their abilities, there is no good or bad distinction among cadres. The only difference is where you put them.

People are actually like Tetris pieces. The so-called waste materials are talents placed in the wrong positions.

With the warm-up by the two previous speakers, the atmosphere in the conference room quickly became heated. Who among those who could sit here was not the best in their class in their respective military academies? Who had ever been subdued by whom in the past? !

"report!"

"Reporting to the chief, I think we can set up a special ghoul gathering area to separate ghouls from humans!"

"Report!!! Separate them? If they are separated, why bother to contain them? What's the point? What's the value? How is it different from locking them in cages?"

"When you made this suggestion, you already assumed in your heart that they were wild animals! If they are wild animals, then just get rid of them. We are the military, not a zoo!"

"Report! Who says they can't create value? Ghouls can also be armed. At least they are not afraid of infection!"

"Report! Fighting? We need them for the battle? That's not funny, junior! They can't kill as many people as I can with one shot!" The colonel retorted with disdain in his tone, meaning that junior, you still need to practice.

However, this light-hearted call of "junior fellow" quickly attracted a series of questions from several major officers.

"Report! Senior, let me ask you, how are you going to deal with the steel forest of Yucheng? Are you going to rely on your cannon? How much can you shoot? Can you fill up Yucheng?"

"Report! Senior, let me ask you this as well. How do we deal with the zombies hiding in the tall buildings in the city in the future? Should we let our soldiers fight the zombies in the streets? Or fight CQB?"

"How many tall buildings are there in just one night market? Senior, how many people are you going to ask to give up their armor and firepower to fight CQB? Or are you going to use a massive amount of ammunition to turn the steel jungle into a plain?"

Civil war? Is this a civil war?

Hearing a few cadres calling each other "senior" and "junior" one by one, the other cadres in the conference room who wanted to speak quickly quieted down.

They all knew these people. They went to the same school as Chief of Staff Wu Bin, graduated from West Point Oriental, the holy place of Central China among military academies!

Is this a full-scale internal fight among the Holy Land's Sons? This is even more interesting than the ghouls themselves!

As a result, except for the seven or eight cadres who were debating, the rest of the people in the conference room quietly moved closer to watch the show.

But while eating melons, everyone has gradually begun to recognize the strategic value of the ghouls...

The individual soldiers have strong qualities, are not afraid of infection, are not picky about terrain, and have low requirements for weapons. They are simply flesh-and-blood versions of war weapons.

Even the consumption is pitifully low. In the end times, there is a lack of everything except zombies. In this way, there is no need for supplies! You can eat wherever you go, and there are supplies everywhere!

Nuclear-powered warfare weapons were achieved through such an ingenious mutation!

If it can be used well, the army can save at least half of its effort in future urban warfare!

And if we can turn the ghouls into an army, it means there might be a new way out for the system infected soldiers...

Between 100% death and 30% survival rate, I think everyone would choose...

If the system soldiers turn into zombies, can they also serve as the backbone of the zombie troops?

Build up a zombie army like you built the Night State Infantry Brigade?
