one step away [Interstellar]

36.

Nice is far away on the outskirts of San Lorenzo, a huge mountain hidden in several bustling cities.The suspension car left the main urban area, walked onto the national road track, and headed towards the lush jungle.

The soldier who came to pick up Xia Zuo was Lieutenant Amanda who had been by her side when she was in SARS—well, that personal guard who was keen on various entertainment activities and celebrity gossip.

The hover car drove to the deep mountain, and the light was blocked by the deep trees.In the comfortable floating carriage, Amanda, who had her long brown hair coiled up, turned on the light panel for combat, and said to the major general, "Only the personal guards are stationed in the military region, and the thirteen warships are basically dispatched..."

"According to the division of the fleets of each military region in the autumn military exercise, this time a large number of defensive exercises in the north will be carried out by the Thirteenth Squadron..."

"..."

She rambled on a lot, but Xia Zuo, who was listening to the report, turned his head and looked at her, and said, "Lieutenant, how was your vacation?"

Like Xia Zuo, the lieutenant she transferred back to San Lorenzo also took family leave together.

"Yes." The lieutenant, who looked like she still had baby fat, corrected her posture and replied meticulously, "The vacation was very pleasant. I went to see the movie of my favorite actor and got an autograph..."

Sure enough, Amanda, who answered honestly, was finally able to answer only these questions.Xia Zuo, who was already able to think about how the other party was living, showed a smile that couldn't help.

"What about the major general? How?" After finishing talking about himself, the caring lieutenant asked back.

"not bad."

The two exchanged their experience of the holiday, and gradually dilute the tense atmosphere about going to Nice.

The hover car slid into the Gate of Steel and stopped inside the gate of the military area. Xia Zuo opened the door and got out of the car. He saw the person in charge of the military area waiting with several captains of the pro-guards and a row of sergeants.

Seeing her coming, he immediately straightened his waist and saluted, "Hello, General!"

Ellen was not there, and Xia Zuo, as the deputy captain, was one of the highest leaders in the entire military region.The smiling Xia Zuo accepted the person in charge's salute, returned the same salute, and stretched out his hand towards the other party.

After the person in charge shook hands and saluted, Xia Zuo moved to the left with straight steps, and saluted each person one by one, "Good day, Captain Laws."

"Good day, Your Excellency General!" The captain who was named did not expect that the other party knew his name, and responded happily.

"..." She said the names of the people who greeted her one by one, then stopped in front of a handsome and burly man in army combat uniform, and stretched out her hand, "Good day, Sirio Colonel."

Cylio Norton Winster, the grandnephew of the six-star Marshal, is now the captain of the First Corps of the Guards.The man squinted his eyes and saluted respectfully, "Good day, Your Excellency General."

"Long time no see, Captain Bud." She smiled and turned her hand to Captain Bud who had met once.

"Hello, General!"

After greeting his acquaintances, Xia Zuo walked up to the last officer and extended his hand, "Good day, Lieutenant Colonel Mary."

Standing in front of her was a beautiful lady with long golden hair braided in a heavy combat uniform. Xia Zuo knew that this was the only senior officer in the entire SS.

"Good day, Your Excellency General!" The lively and healthy-looking woman responded with a smile, very generous.

After greeting the soldiers who greeted him one by one, Xia Zuo arrived at his residence under Bud's leadership.After putting away the accompanying simple salute, she urgently held an impromptu meeting.

In the middle of the night, in the conference hall of the main building complex of the Nice Military Region, Xia Zuo, who was dressed in a neat uniform, looked at the neatly lined officers and showed a satisfied smile.

"A brief self-introduction. I am Xiazuo Constantine Weir. If there is no accident, I will be your general within five years."

"I know, most of you are not familiar with me, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can execute orders."

Xia Zuo smiled, looked at the officer with a tense face, and said, "Now, let's carry out the first training session."

As soon as the voice fell, the alarm sounded suddenly, and countless red lights flashed.Finally, a touch of emotion appeared on the expressionless faces of everyone sitting in the conference hall.Xia Zuo glanced at everyone's expressions, nodded at Lieutenant Amanda who was holding the combat board, and turned on the big screen for convenience, and a series of signals belonging to the Zerg invasion appeared on the map of the training area.

"There are still two shillings left to invade the headquarters, everyone, are you ready?"

The officers who looked at each other looked at each other, saluted in unison, and said, "Yes, general!" Then, they rushed to their area in a hurry, gathered the soldiers, and entered the training area.

The enemies and Zergs in the training area are all simulated by biotechnology. Because Zergs will carbonize people as soon as they come into contact with people, soldiers have to drive mechas to deal with them.In addition, its resistance is very strong, and ordinary laser bombs need to concentrate their firepower to annihilate it.

Therefore, the degree of difficulty is very large.

The impromptu Xia Zuo looked at the captains and the people of the warship squadron, all carried out the order and stepped into the combat zone, listening to the message from Amanda, he smiled.

"The time to reach each area is 10 minutes." In the combat command area, the commander who was tossed by Xia Zuo's thoughts in the middle of the night looked at the blue dots that appeared on the screen and reported.

Even though it was the first run-in, the soldiers in the command area still devoted themselves to their duties in the face of the new general.Xia Zuo nodded, watching the blue dots on the screen being gradually wiped out by the red dots, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

When rehearsing in the training area, there will be no real fatal accidents, but according to the characteristics of the Zerg, as long as they are sprayed with viscous insect liquid or hugged, the performance of the mecha will be lost, and the function of the tank will also decline. A desolate area is indistinguishable from death.

Because most of the Zerg's attack methods are hugging and venom devouring, most soldiers jokingly call it the hug of death.

Xia Zuo's sudden training increased the number of Zerg. After the first wave of attacks, she finally gave the first order with a smile, "Teams with a survival rate lower than 50.00% withdraw."

There was no instruction to come to the headquarters, no Zerg data, except for the perceived data of the team that led the team at the beginning. The children of the noble family showed dissatisfaction.

In previous trainings, the attack area would be announced in advance, a combat meeting would be held at the headquarters, and orders would be issued based on the data detected by the headquarters.At this time, there was no news from the general sitting in the headquarters from the beginning to the end. Many soldiers who tried the embrace of death for the first time were really going to be tossed by this new general.

However, a second wave of attacks is imminent.

The smiling Xia Zuo looked at the team that had run out of ammunition, and said to the battlefield simulators manipulating biotechnology, "Increase the number."

"Yes."

The commanders with wireless, looking at the teammates who were wiped out on the front line, showed worried expressions, and looked at the major general who was still full of energy in the middle of the night with some sadness, but saw that she did not know when she asked her guards to take tea , made a pot of tea, and said with a smile, "Everyone, do you want some tea?"

no... don't...

So all night, the soldiers who were beaten by surprise finally wiped out all the Zerg in the early morning, and waited for Xia Zuo's last order, "Stay in place and investigate the enemy's situation."

Then, the general who stayed with them all night returned to his dormitory to prepare his entry declaration.

Three hours later, the team that confirmed that there was no sign of an attack received an order to return to the headquarters.

The morning light was beautiful, and the military region, which accommodated tens of thousands of people, was full of soldiers with a straight military posture.After a whole night of sleepless nights, this team, which did not show signs of depression, raised its head proudly under the scrutiny of the new general.

The soldiers who were waiting for the new general to explain the sudden training last night heard the other party say with a smile, "Everyone has worked hard."

Another sentence, "Captains of each squadron, go back and write a report."

Finally, "All officers in the military area, arrive at the conference hall at three o'clock in the afternoon for a meeting."

Concise, nothing needs to be explained.

Such an arrogant attitude ignited the officers who were dissatisfied with her before, and these arrogant noble children had already planted the idea of ​​resistance.

For this general who started to torment them as soon as he came, the angry soldiers were ready to disrespect the superior.But unfortunately, there was no chance to rest at all, and I was pulled into training again.

After more than half a month in a row, the team, which was constantly being repaired, was disturbed by the alarm back and forth, and kept attacking. It seemed that they had spent more than half a year of training, and there was no time for daily training and learning.

The Zerg that appeared became more and more weird. The headquarters did not give any information as usual. The commanders who had been infected by this smiling general and started to drink black tea at the headquarters were still leisurely observing the movements of their teammates this evening.

The rigorous general unbuttoned the first button of his collar, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in his hand, and gave the order of the midfielder, "Cut off their wireless and supplies until the entire field is wiped out."

"..." The operators who tested the wireless of each team shook their hands and almost spilled tea on the instrument table.

Cutting off the wireless in the front means that the various teams cannot communicate with each other, forming small teams to fight alone, or even fighting alone, which is very risky.

It's not that there was no such training in the past, but now that there are so many enemies, can the depleted team still be able to handle it?In particular, this general, who seemed to have no plan at all, added a sentence later, "Put the worm mother mimicry on the battlefield."

Well, stop talking, the conductors all know that tonight, another group of people will be hugged by wriggling bugs in a wonderful death embrace.

For some reason, the commanders gloated a little.Before the fun was over, I heard the general add another sentence, "If you find the worm mother, interrupt the monitoring of the command system, send the first team out to repair it, and convey the order to withdraw from each team."

"The Thirteenth Warship Sunflower, call for help and destroy the insect mother."

She said, put down the teacup, and easily gave the order to the two teams under her command to cooperate for the first time.

The soldiers who received her order began to invade the headquarters system. In an instant, the data of the system hacked from the external network was disordered, and they completely lost the monitoring of the front line.

Unexpectedly, his general issued such an order. The commanders who lost control of the command system for the first time began to repair the data at a rapid speed. Then, large-scale wireless was destroyed.

Then, the soldiers who manipulated the virus to attack their own network suddenly said in surprise, "General, our network has been invaded, the virus has spread, and we have lost the simulation settings of the combat zone. A large number of Zergs have multiplied and become violent in the combat zone."

"The wireless interruption of the support team... lost fifteen control nodes..."

Amidst the rustling electricity, Xia Zuo suddenly lost the voice of the secret combat team.

On the big screen, a series of green characters jumped, and after the sound of electric current, Xia Zuo heard a familiar voice from the earphone, "How is it, you suddenly attacked your headquarters, are you happy, General Xia Zuo?"

"General Natasha, why come to Nice when you have time?"

"I'm not in Nice. I'm staying in my own military area. It's just that the person who replaced you is doing you a favor. Oh, oh, I shouldn't have told you. After all, it would be bad if I knew." Natasha giggled, as if she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

"Well, it's not just busy, it's busy. The headquarters has lost the monitoring of all the teams. It seems that if I don't deal with it, the team I left outside will be wiped out." Xia Zuo nodded, so Said.

"Yes, I wish you good luck." Natasha smiled and cut off the wireless that suddenly intruded into the other party, leaving Xia Zuo to look at his commanding soldiers with a sad face.

"First restore the wireless to the support team, find the location of the Zerg just now, and don't restore the wireless to the front line, can it be done?"

"Yes!" The officers saluted and quickly returned to their posts.

Ah, what a sister-in-law who loves to add food to others, she is getting married soon, and she still wants to come here to have fun.The battle points on the front line have all been messed up, and it is estimated that the wireless of those people has also been given wrong instructions, but... it doesn't matter.

Just a chance, isn't it?

There was a gloomy light in his blue eyes, Xia Zuo looked at the busy headquarters, showing an imperative smile.
