Chapter 1178 Preparations Before the Expedition
"Hehe, everyone, let's go. The base has prepared the first batch of supplies for you, including evolution potions and virus cures. I believe our sincerity will not disappoint you!"
Seeing the fear and respect on everyone's faces, Qin Zhong smiled slightly and said in a gentle, breezy tone, "China is a land of etiquette. You have come from afar to offer your assistance, and we will certainly give you a satisfactory reward!"
After saying that, Qin Zhong took a step forward, stepping on the corpses on the ground, and walked towards the camp.
The heavy footsteps pounded on the blood and gore, making a strange, squelching sound, like stepping on mud.
Seeing Qin Zhong strolling leisurely through the sea of corpses, the leaders of the various countries' reinforcements gasped in shock. While secretly alarmed, they had no choice but to lead their troops to follow behind Qin Zhong and move forward.
Now that we're already here, turning back is probably not an option.
Moreover, the evolution potion and virus cure potion that Qin Zhong mentioned are extremely important to them. Even for these two treasures that are related to their future survival, they have no choice but to stay.
For a moment, a series of "plop" sounds began to echo throughout the canyon. Apart from that, no one spoke. Even their breathing was kept extremely quiet, for fear of disturbing the God of Slaughter who was slowly moving forward in the sea of blood.
At this moment, Chen Fang and Xiao Yibai exchanged a glance, both with a smile in their eyes.
Although Xiao Yibai did not arrive during the previous battle, he did arrive later and privately communicated with Chen Fang. After learning of Qin Zhong's arrangements, he wholeheartedly agreed.
Compared to the somewhat soft-hearted Chen Fang, Xiao Yibai is a staunch Chinese nationalist. If it had been Xiao Yibai who had clashed with the Curry Nation, war would probably have broken out long ago.
Seeing the Southeast Asian coalition become cautious in the face of everything in the canyon, Xiao Yibai felt quite satisfied with Qin Zhong.
"Welcome! This is your temporary accommodation!"
Emerging from the valley, Qin Chong led the allied forces to a massive metal gate, the entrance to the Military Intelligence Department's base.
Only here could a full twenty to thirty thousand people come and go. However, before the reinforcements from various countries could recover from the shock of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the situation was dire.
The scene before them made them shudder once again, and they couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"What a terrifying momentum!"
"A six-barreled Gatling gun? No! It's a modified eight-barreled Gatling gun!"
"My God, how terrifyingly heavy must that be! These monsters can actually lift it with one hand!"
The Tracker 3s, specially arranged by Qin Zhong and lined up neatly at the entrance of the Military Intelligence Department base, resembled demons emerging from hell, their blood-red pupils fixed on the reinforcements from various countries.
Like a rag doll torn apart and pieced back together, its powerful body and sharp, tentacle-like claws caused the reinforcements from various countries to slow their pace, their breathing quickening.
In particular, the eight-barreled Gatling gun, tightly gripped in the hands of the Tracker 3, emitting a buzzing electrical sound and constantly rotating its muzzle, made these knowledgeable reinforcements shudder, their eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
Once this weapon opens fire in full force, with a rate of fire of tens of thousands of bullets per minute, it can completely shred them to pieces in a maximum of five minutes!
"Everyone, don't worry, these are my biological weapon troops. They are guarding the entrance to protect your safety!"
Looking at the shocked and fearful faces of the foreign reinforcements, Qin Zhong smiled with satisfaction. The reason he had the trackers block the entrance was to further intimidate these reinforcements.
With the example of the Curry Country people before us, and the further deterrent effect of the Tracker 3, if these small-nation coalition still dare to have any ideas, Qin Zhong can only say that their audacity is truly outrageous.
After two rounds of intimidation, the reinforcements who had hoped to gain some influence through international cooperation immediately abandoned their illusions and obediently followed Qin Chong into the base.
After entering the base, they allowed Chen Fang and others to redistribute and reorganize their teams, breaking up their formations and integrating them into the Chinese reinforcement teams from the Military Intelligence Department, Bureau 749, and other units.
From beginning to end, even though they were dissatisfied, no one dared to refute them.
Because throughout this process, Qin Zhong just stood by with a smile and watched. Whenever they felt dissatisfied, they would be startled by Qin Zhong's smile and quickly suppress their dissatisfaction.
Rights are good, but isn't it better to be alive?
It is important to know that every survivor who has survived to this day knows the preciousness of life. No one wants to be the one to stick their neck out, because to be the one to stick your neck out, you naturally have to give up your life!
Therefore, they knew that with their own strength, since there was no room for resistance, and they didn't want to die like the Indians from Curry Country, they had better obey orders.
Thus, the incorporation operation was completed perfectly with a speed and efficiency that exceeded Chen Fang and Xiao Yibai's expectations.
Three days later, the military intelligence department and the allied forces of various countries had completed the most basic integration and formed a joint force with the Chinese army at its core.
With this successful deterrent and the successful formation of the organization, subsequent groups and national forces, after witnessing the enormous mound of human heads and the battlefield covered in blood, naturally dared not harbor any further ill intentions.
These forces that arrived one after another were also dispersed by Chen Fang under the shock and were integrated into the joint forces.
As time went by, the combined forces grew larger and larger, and reinforcements from the United States arrived, led by Joseph.
After Qin Zhong communicated with King Arthur, the Pope, and Joseph, the nearly 100,000 troops brought by the three parties were reintegrated into the joint force, and the strength of the troops was enhanced once again.
After a month, the joint force eventually received aid from more than 30 countries, and the number of ordinary soldiers exceeded 300,000.
The Evolver Force also numbered over 20,000, making it an extremely powerful force.
At this point, although reinforcements from other countries might arrive later, Qin Zhong could no longer wait.
Even if Qin Chong and the others had taken precautions to keep everything confidential, the sheer number of people gathered and the scale of the event meant that it was impossible for the people on Demon Mountain to be completely unaware.
Therefore, as soon as the military integration was completed, Qin Zhong, King Arthur, the Pope, Joseph, Chen Fang, Xiao Yibai and others held a joint meeting.
During the meeting, the absolute command of the Chinese forces within the Allied Forces was finally established under Qin Zhong's strong leadership and with the support of King Arthur and the Pope.
And so, the final battle between the human alliance and Devil Mountain was about to begin.
Of course, the subsequent war preparations had nothing to do with Qin Zhong.
Regarding warfare, Qin Zhong was self-aware. Although he had experienced several large-scale wars, most of them were defensive battles, unlike this offensive battle.
Therefore, Qin Zhong would not interfere with experts, leaving it to professionals such as King Arthur, the Pope, Joseph, Chen Fang, and Xiao Yibai to handle.
Even though Qin Zhong's strength is at the peak of the entire coalition, group attacks and individual combat are completely different. When it comes to fighting, these people are the real experts.
……
Just before setting off, the Mid-Autumn Festival, an important annual festival in China, arrived.
At Qin Zhong's suggestion, a grand Mid-Autumn Festival celebration was held to boost the morale of the allied forces. Perhaps Chen Fang and his men were also considering that these soldiers were about to go to the battlefield and might never return.
Therefore, this celebration was very large in scale. The military intelligence department generously brought out supplies and fine wines that they had been storing for a long time for everyone to enjoy, as a farewell drink before parting.
On this day, every soldier about to go to the battlefield laughed happily and shouted loudly, as if to vent all the resentment and hatred accumulated over the past year.
Many soldiers were laughing, but tears were streaming down their faces. In the year since the apocalypse, many of them had started new lives, but in the battle after the Mid-Autumn Festival, many of them might lose their lives forever.
Everyone knew this perfectly well, so they indulged themselves even more frantically, for this might be their last day of peace.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration gala was not as grand as the CCTV Spring Festival Gala before the apocalypse, Chen Fang and others managed to organize a group of people and barely managed to put together a performance troupe.
These people did their best to put on a series of crude but hilarious skits for the soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield.
That's how humans are; the more desperate and stressed they are, the more easily they are amused by jokes and anecdotes that usually seem mundane.
Perhaps they weren't laughing at the content of the joke, but rather using laughter to alleviate their inner fears.
Regardless, the laughter and joy in the base never stopped throughout the entire Mid-Autumn Festival celebration.
If it weren't for the faint sounds of gunfire and artillery coming from the periphery of the base, everyone would have almost forgotten that they were in the apocalypse.
But the clear gunshots made it clear to them that the sentries stationed in the distance were using heavy machine guns to blast away the zombies that had come running at the sound of gunfire, and that they were still living in a post-apocalyptic world full of dangers.
At this moment, the roar of guns and the laughter of soldiers created a bizarre yet infectious scene.
Caught up in this eerie atmosphere, even many self-proclaimed superior evolved beings joined the celebration procession.
Even though, as evolved beings, their strength far surpasses that of these ordinary soldiers, just like the gap between ordinary soldiers and them, the gap between them and the powerful beings of Demon Mountain is extremely large.
In tomorrow's battle, their casualty rate may even be higher than that of ordinary soldiers. After all, it's soldier against soldier, general against general, and ordinary biological weapons may not be able to break through the defenses of 300,000 soldiers.
However, those mid-level and high-level biological weapons must be dealt with by these evolved beings, and just thinking about it makes you realize how dangerous they are.
The participation of these evolved individuals brought the entire celebration to a climax, since most of them possessed their own superpowers.
These superpowers can often create scenes that even computer special effects cannot simulate.
No fireworks or firecrackers?
no problem!
For example, fire-type evolvers like Xiao Yingyong and Meise directly activated their superpowers, exploding in the sky and creating patterns more beautiful than any fireworks, eliciting excited exclamations from the crowd.
No magic show? No problem!
Some evolved beings awaken superpowers that surpass those of Liu Qian and David. As they lightly waved their hands, scenes that no one had ever seen before appeared.
Watching the kites dancing without wind, and the wine that suddenly froze into ice and transformed into small monsters, the soldiers' mouths remained agape.
The night continued in this noisy manner, as if everyone was trying to release all their energy, and finally, they fell into a deep sleep in the square.
Many people, when they close their eyes, hope they will never wake up, so that they can remain immersed in this peaceful atmosphere forever and never have to face the cruel reality of tomorrow.
