Chapter 1023: Thinking and Fearing (Chapter Two in One)
"Lao Hu, how many system points do we have in the team's account now?" Yang Dongli asked Hu Biao with a serious tone.
For a guy like Hu Biao, as long as he has money, system points, etc., he will always be as familiar with his own body.
There is no need to take a quick look in your mind to see how many points are left in your account.
The relevant answer came straight out of the mouth: "A total of 327.8 points~"
After hearing this, a group of team members who gathered around him immediately showed an extremely pained expression on their faces, and they all let out a long sigh.
It felt like some old spies suddenly felt as intensely depressed as their lives when they found out about their girlfriends.
Why is this happening? Because today is the time they arrived at Nuocheng Base, the next morning.
At that time, Hu Biao and others had just finished a modest breakfast and had not yet left to tell Dr. Thomas about their willingness to join the "Super Soldier Project".
As a result, Dr. Thomas, whose image has changed drastically, has appeared.
There is a saying that after just one night, the iconic chicken coop hairstyle on Dr. Thomas' head disappeared.
Using a lot of hair oil, he combed his white hair into a hairstyle similar to that of the 'Sleeping King' in the modern dimension.
What a guy! He has a posture that would break his leg even if it was a fly, plus he is wearing a pure white white coat that faintly smells of laundry detergent.
There is still a little bit of the Dr. Thomas that Hu Biao and the others remember, the one who looked like a mad scientist.
Sure enough, after his daughter, grandson and other relatives returned, Dr. Thomas's whole spirit and temperament immediately became different.
The purpose of Dr. Thomas' visit was to ask them whether they wanted to participate in the "Super Soldier Project".
Of course! Hu Biao and the others had already made up their minds last night. The third phase of this mission would be accomplished entirely with the help of the 'Militia Type 2' exoskeleton armor, these powerful equipment.
Even after the mission is completed, you still have to take some of these powerful equipment back with you.
After all, they calculated that as long as they had a space ring with a capacity of 5 cubic meters, they could install the 'Minuteman Type 1' exoskeleton armor without any pressure.
In this way, even if the complete version of Type 2 is larger, it should still be able to fit in it.
By then, these black technology weapons will be very useful whether they are used in the modern plane or in the next mission.
After learning that Hu Biao and others had confirmed their participation in the plan, Dr. Thomas, who had been smiling amiably a second ago, immediately turned serious.
As if getting vaccinated in advance, he solemnly warned:
"Hu! There were some changes during the implementation of this plan.
Originally, according to my plan, it would take half a month for the relevant personnel to start taking the orc blood; but now, we don't have such a long time at all.
Because the news fed back from the front line showed that after the orc army captured the Immokalee Fortress, although it suffered huge casualties, it was still constantly mobilizing troops and supplies from the rear.
It seems that they will launch a new attack in only two weeks at most.
As for the goal, it is Los Angeles, our last home.
Frankly speaking, General Douglas and other senior officials had no confidence that they could rely on the strength of the Los Angeles base to withstand the attack of the orc army.
In order to prevent those crazy orcs from driving us completely into the sea.
The super soldier plan, our last resort, must also be launched in advance.
After all, according to our analysis, even if it is successful after taking the blood, it will take a day to be fully digested; and the operation of the 'Minuteman Type 2' is quite complicated, and it will take at least a week to master it.
Therefore, you only have five days of recovery time. After five days, you will first start a physical examination. Those who cannot pass the physical examination will not be able to participate in the plan at all, even if I say so."
Faced with Dr. Thomas' worries, Hu Biao patted his chest and reassured himself.
In order to allow the members of the team to participate, he boasted so loudly that he was so awesome that Yang Dongli on the side almost lost his ability:
"Please don't worry, Doctor, it's just a small matter.
The guy in our team is black, yes! He is the one who looks at women with particularly lewd eyes, but he is actually a very excellent Chinese medicine practitioner.
It is said that the great-great-great-grandfather of their family was the personal medical officer of His Majesty the Emperor in the past.
Traditional Chinese medicine has always been very good and miraculous in terms of physical recovery and conditioning, so the physical examination after five days will show that there is no problem at all, so you can rest assured."
After receiving such a guarantee from Hu Biao, Dr. Thomas looked at the black Chinese medicine doctor with great interest for a few times, and then hurriedly left here.
It’s time to say it or not! This old man’s workload is also quite huge.
For their sake, I deliberately came here, which is already very particular.
Then when the group of people watched Dr. Thomas leave in a hurry again under the escort of a team of guards, Lao Yang asked the first sentence.
As for why? Everyone in the team sighed collectively.
Although what Yang Dongli said at that time, at first glance, it seemed to be a bit confusing.
But not only did Hu Biao understand the meaning behind him, but the surrounding Zhongzhou team members also understood what Lao Yang's question meant.
It's just that they have known for a long time that the best way to recover for them is to eat hard, preferably meat.
Other injections, medicines, and physical therapy are all nonsense.
However, when they went to have breakfast this morning, they encountered huge bad news:
Canteen staff said that in the future, a maximum of 500 grams of mashed potatoes and other food will be provided per meal, and there will not be any additional supplements after that.
Damn it! Although Hu Biao and others also know that 500 grams of mashed potatoes as a staple food in a meal is completely enough for ordinary people.
But for them, it is really a drop in the bucket and cannot meet their recovery needs.
Of course, the reason why such a situation occurred is that there were only about sixty people in total with them. As a result, yesterday afternoon, they directly ate up all the food of more than 500 people in an elite infantry battalion of the indigenous troops.
It has a lot to do with the fact that logistics personnel are afraid of eating.
But in this case, it seems that Hu Biao and others can only find a way to get enough food to restore their bodies.
Therefore, Yang Dongli asked Hu Biao how many system points they still had left. He just wanted to see how much wealth they still had and what kind of food they could exchange for this wealth.
The result? The answer is quite regrettable.
There are only a little over 300 system points left in total. It's impossible to exchange them all for food, right? There should always be one or two hundred points left as a backup.
Prevent some unexpected situations from happening, so that you will not be helpless when the time comes.
You know! Everyone's personal points have long been borrowed by the team without any interest, but they will be returned little by little after the war.
So based on their experience, it seems that food meets the hard criteria of being fat, cheap, considered meat, and rich in calories and nutrients.
It seems that only the canned Spam luncheon meat famous by the soldiers during World War II can meet the above conditions.
The problem is, I used to eat this stuff when I was fighting Japanese troops, I was eating this stuff when I was fighting German sticks, and I was still eating this stuff when I was fighting the United Guo Army.
It is now 54 years of the next century, and we still have to eat this stuff that was made more than a hundred years ago.
Thinking of the disgusting color, smell, and taste of that thing, many people in the team couldn't help but frown.
I ate too much, and I already had psychological discomfort. Whenever I hear the name of this thing, I feel a little nauseous.
However, everyone has gone through so many tasks. As long as it can make the body get better quickly and finally complete the task, even the worst food can be eaten.
The point is, if there was something better to eat, who would be willing to eat this thing?
With the last bit of expectation in his heart, Lang Qing asked the big fool: "Big fool, can you go for some exercise and see if you can find the black market and exchange some other meat from the black market for some food?"
After hearing this, the big fool laughed bitterly:
“There must be a black market in a place like this, and there’s no problem finding it.
The key is that our medicines, socks, toilet water, cigarettes and other supplies have all been used up in the Immokalee Fortress, so what can we give back to others now?"
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a pained expression.
Mainly because when they came this time, because everyone had space equipment, everyone except Bai Xiang brought a lot of cigarettes, thinking that it would be enough for consumption and trade this time.
What I didn't expect was that this thing was consumed too quickly.
For example, when we first started to defend Forts 2, 3, and 5 in Immokalee Fortress, many of the natives had a hard time surviving even half a day as long as they faced the defensive firepower.
In such a situation, when people are about to die in battle, there is nothing wrong with giving them cigarettes to smoke between battles to relieve the mental pressure, right?
Just as they kept going, they found that their pockets and space rings were basically completely empty.
It doesn’t seem right to say that! Because there are still many unopened sand cigarettes in Hu Biao’s space ring.
The key point is that now, except for Hu Biao, the Zhongzhou team is not a smoker. Even if it is used for trade, they are a bit unable to use it.
It's not that I'm worried that the natives won't want it, but that I can't bear it.
The unlucky Major James, and the treatment of his colleagues who smoked sand cigarettes, were made known to everyone early in the morning from the mouth of the black doctor.
Thinking that in two weeks, the orcs will launch a massive attack.
At this time, these sand cigarettes are traded out, and then I don’t know where they end up and who smokes them. This thing is basically like planting a bomb, which is very bad, right?
Shaking their heads, everyone gave up the idea of going to the black market to get something back, but the warehouse manager was still a little uneasy and shouted:
"Even if you need to redeem food in the system mall, everyone should look for it there.
There are so many types of military rations in there. In addition to Pam’s luncheon meat, there should be other meats and vegetables of similar price, maybe canned. Wouldn’t it be better to switch to something else?”
Not waiting for everyone in the team to take action under such a statement.
Husky, who is considered one of the three main players in the cooking team, has already given the answer:
"Don't be too busy. When I had nothing to do, I took a look at all the military rations. There are indeed those that meet the requirements of high oil, cheap, meat, etc., such as: canned Mackinac."
Husky's voice finally fell, and Hanshuang excitedly asked the key question:
"How does this stuff taste? Is it delicious?"
In the end, Husky didn't even need to answer. He also knew a lot of Chinese characters with strange knowledge, and immediately gave a speechless answer:
"McKinac can? This thing should be the first true military can in human history. It is said that the prototype appeared in the 16th century, but it became truly famous during World War I.
As for the taste, it was claimed according to the memories of some veterans who participated in World War I.
The turnips, carrots, and potatoes cooked with the beef have basically gone bad. If they are heated, the taste will be better; but if you eat it when it is cold, it will not taste as good as a trash can."
Under the description of 'trash can', Hanshuang no longer has any thoughts about this thing.
However, he was still a little unwilling and muttered: "No, there should be other food."
"Of course." Husky said with great certainty, and finally gave a heart-wrenching answer in Hanshuang's expectant eyes:
"The corned beef produced by Johns in the 16th century was kept for more than a hundred years, and the batch in the 18th century was the same.
This thing is all meat, and the price is cabbage. The only problem is that it is too hard. It tastes like chewing bricks, and it can really exercise your teeth.
There is also the kind of canned beef produced by the Japanese in the late World War II, which Zhang Dabiao even ate even after he captured it."
Hanshuang: "What the hell! Let's exchange it for the canned Spam from the soldier. This thing is actually quite delicious..."
*******
In this way, starting from the morning of October 29th, everyone in the Zhongzhou team lived a pig-like life of eating, sleeping, and eating.
Just lift up the single bed where these guys lay their bodies and look down at those dirty sheets.
You can find it among them, but there are many empty wooden boxes thrown away, as well as cans that are cleaner than a dog licking them, and there are not even oil star seeds left.
However, the above situations are only superficial phenomena.
In fact, they are reducing the caloric consumption of physical activities, allowing the calories to be retained for more useful things.
Because when enough food is taken in, it immediately transforms into the energy needed for human body repair and metabolism.
In the end, these people's bodies have obvious changes and improvements every time they sleep.
Therefore, although the taste of Spam luncheon meat is really a little bit cheating, the effect is indeed very significant.
Anyway, after five days, Hu Biao and other lightly wounded soldiers could not be said to have recovered to the peak condition they had just participated in the mission; but at 80% condition, it can be said that they are only more, not less.
For some seriously injured patients, their recovery may be slightly worse.
But I guess when the time comes, there will still be no problem through experience.
Under the overall good environment, there must be something that makes Hu Biao feel dissatisfied and dissatisfied.
That is because he was thinking that the current environment was considered safe and his physical fitness was not a problem.
Every day, I hugged Zhu Xiulian, this delicate and unmarried young woman, to sleep; she was not honest when she was sleeping, even if she clung to him, her hands were also dishonest.
Under such stimulation, Commander Hu Biao suddenly had some ideas in his mind.
After all, speaking of their relationship, they never officially broke up, and now it’s okay to call them boyfriend and girlfriend, so it’s very reasonable and reasonable, right?
It is a pity that Zhu Xiulian did not stop Hu Biao's other behaviors at all. Once the critical moment came, she did not let this guy get into the real thing at all.
As for the reason, I'm afraid it hurt Hu Biao's vitality at the critical moment.
Regarding Zhu Xiulian's persistence, Hu Biao was extremely depressed...
It's just that when Hu Biao was so depressed that he was quite powerful, he actually didn't know that other system teams were even more powerful than him at such a time.
They even include the top system teams such as Nordic, Maozi, and Persia.
Now their commander, if we talk about the degree of head pain, it is much more serious than Hu Biao.
All the reasons are attributed to the grandson of the system, who has greatly adjusted the environment of this mission, and has entered a world that is completely different to everyone.
The planet is still such a planet.
But the opponents they fought were a little strange.
For example, in the primeval jungle of Siberia, Commander Natasha, a hairy girl, is currently using 90-proof vodka to rinse the wounds on her arms.
Under the stimulation of this thing, Natasha's delicate facial features were now distorted.
But there is nothing they can do if they don't wash. They have just started a difficult chase battle with some legendary vampires, and the unlucky escapee among them is Team B of Maozi.
Vampires with agility have considerable advantages in fighting in the jungle.
So Natasha was bitten on the arm by a vampire baron during the battle just now.
Anyway, regardless of whether the vampire has the ability to transform the wounded person into his own blood after biting someone, Natasha believes that such cleaning is very necessary.
At the same time, Countess Valkyrie was also killed by an old elf.
While waving the wand in his hand and muttering something, he was hit in the chest by a fireball during a battle in the ruins on the outskirts of Hamburg.
Immediately, this powerful woman was blown up by a fireball. Although she got up quickly after landing, she didn't know how much of her blond hair was burned off.
Fireball? Yes, this thing sounds a bit unbelievable.
But after Valkyrie had experienced even more unscientific things like healing, it could be said that he was used to the same magical method like fireball.
And somewhere on the Persian plateau, a Persian army was riding camels, hacking at each other with some insects as tall as a man's head.
In short, if you combine all the above, you can find that many props and skills in the system mall can be seen in these worlds.
The amount of rich information contained in it is truly terrifying to contemplate.
God knows what crooked ideas the system's grandson had in mind under this bizarre mission arrangement...
ps: There was a power outage in the afternoon. They said that the high temperature, medium and high voltage transmission lines were out of order. All that’s left today is
