The joint meeting lasted for five hours and did not end until late at night.
Official bases in each region provided various solutions, discussed and analyzed them at the meeting, and nuclear strikes became the last line of insurance.
He Sheng had been waiting for the results in Political Commissar Li's office, and when he was about to fall asleep, he fell into Li Yanting's arms and opened his eyes in a daze.
"Go back to sleep." Li Yanting did not tell He Sheng anything about the meeting. He took off his coat and put it on He Sheng's shoulders, then picked up He Sheng and prepared to leave.
"All combat readiness materials have been prepared tonight. You guys have a good rest. Military helicopters will escort you out early tomorrow morning."
Political Commissar Li stood at the door with the same solemn look on his face.
"On behalf of the military, I promise to you that after I come back, all past information about you will be wiped out." Political Commissar Li said, "If you want to join the military, I can serve as your introducer and promise you..."
"Let's go back first." Li Yanting did not wait for Political Commissar Li to finish painting the pie, because he firmly believed that painting pie was the most taboo before the war, as it was unlucky.
Li Yanting borrowed Political Commissar Li's car outside the office building, put He Sheng in the passenger seat, started the car, turned on the heater and air conditioner, and drove back to the dormitory building.
"Is it cold?" Li Yanting freed up a hand and touched He Sheng's face. He Sheng's whole body was wrapped in his clothes, and his face was also warm.
"You have something on your mind." He Sheng was naturally not cold when she was hiding under Li Yanting's protection. She stretched out her hand and took Li Yanting's hand, wrapping it in her palm to warm it.
The location of the dormitory was not far from the office building. It was just a short bend away. Li Yanting was afraid of freezing He Sheng, otherwise it wouldn't take them much time to walk back.
The car was parked downstairs in the dormitory. When Li Yanting and He Sheng went upstairs, they could see that the lights in the rooms next door were still on. Those were the rooms of other members of their team.
They didn't sleep, probably waiting for the two of them to come back.
A few minutes later, the living room of Li Yanting's house was crowded with people, and even Lin Rong came with Liang Liang.
"Why are you all crowding here if you don't sleep at night?"
Li Yanting's face was calm. The dim oil lamp could not illuminate the huge room brightly. His eyes were hidden in the shadows under his eyelashes, and no one could clearly see the heaviness inside.
Da Kun looked around and finally spoke for everyone: "Brother, we all know."
"The military is going to launch a general attack on Schirmer Base. You are the captain of the advance team this time." Da Kun did not hesitate at all, patted his chest and said, "Brother, our team will advance and retreat together through life and death. We will all go with you.
!”
"Nonsense!" Li Yanting frowned. He Sheng sat next to him and could see his chewed and loosened cheek flesh.
"You are already... ordinary people. Why would you take such a risk with me?" Li Yanting scolded, suppressing his anger.
"Sister-in-law, Lele is gone." Liu Chenghe stood at the end of the group of people, his head lowered, looking a little listless and his voice trembling slightly.
"Brother, before Lele left, he used the Almighty Stone to repair the Divine Sea for all of us." Liufeng glanced at Liu Chenghe. The man was sad, and almost shed tears when Landuo held his hand.
"We want to follow you and do this first march together." Liufeng turned around and said firmly, "Before you come back, we have all discussed it. No one is counted as one, and there is no coward among us."
Li Yanting's complexion did not improve at all when he heard this, but became even more ugly. The veins on his neck jumped slightly, indicating his anger. He Sheng suddenly realized something and grabbed Li Yanting's arm.
"Li Yanting, tell me the truth." He Sheng rarely spoke in such a serious tone. She raised her hand and pinched Li Yanting's chin, pulling his face to look at her, "Are you not even going to take me with you?"
?”
Li Yanting did not look into He Sheng's eyes. He lowered his eyelids and looked to the other side.
The answer is self-evident.
"Li Yanting, you bastard!" He Sheng was furious. Li Yanting's silence said everything. She pushed Li Yanting as if to vent her anger, but he still didn't say a word.
"Speak!" He Sheng suppressed her surging emotions. She didn't want to put a greater burden on Li Yanting, but she would never let him fight alone.
"No." Li Yanting sighed softly, pulling He Sheng's arm into his arms. He Sheng struggled twice, but he suppressed it. "I have not forgotten the agreement between us."
"I just don't know how to tell you." Li Yanting felt that he was really selfish. He was dragging He Sheng into such a cruel and difficult war that could be foreseen.
"Why do you need to ask? I told you a long time ago that I will be with you no matter life or death." He Sheng finally let go of the big stone in her heart. As long as Li Yanting didn't plan to fight alone, she could rest assured.
"Then can we forget the agreement between us?" Da Kun didn't care about the warm atmosphere and asked, "Brother, you can't favor one thing over another."
"This time the situation is different from the past. The enemy's situation is more complex and difficult than ever before. If you think about it carefully, be prepared to not come back if you stay."
He knew very well the team Li Yanting led, and each of these people was more stubborn than the last.
Sure enough, after Li Yanting said this, everyone crowded into his living room. Everyone found chairs and cushions and sat in a circle around them.
When Li Yanting saw this, he stopped talking nonsense and got to the point directly.
"In the joint meeting just now, the opinions of all parties did not reach an agreement in the end, so in this mission, the enemies are not just Schirmer and Almighty Stone."
"Starting from the early hours of tonight, we have ten days to break through the siege and completely destroy the Almighty Stone. Once the mission fails, we must withdraw from the territory where Selmer is and reach a safe location before midnight on the tenth day.
.”
"Because after the mission fails, as a final guarantee, the fighting nation will launch a nuclear strike at midnight on the tenth day."
"Nuclear strike?" Liufeng was stunned, "Isn't it too..."
"The latest satellite images show that zombies across the Eurasian continent are migrating to the Schirmer Refuge City at full speed. The nuclear strike is not only to attack the Schirmer Refuge City, but also to deal with the zombies to the maximum extent possible."
"Of course, if we can completely destroy the Almighty Stone and crush Schirmer's base's plot within ten days, then the zombies and all the changes caused by the Almighty Stone will be over."
Li Yanting paused when he said this: "Including our superpowers."
"According to the latest news, a group of people have arrived at Schirmer Base one after another. It is very likely that they have been baptized by the Almighty Stone, replaced their consciousness, and become a resistance force against alien invaders."
"And as I just mentioned, the enemies are not only Schirmer and the Almighty Stone. Firstly, you will inevitably encounter fellow travelers on this road, and you will advance your superpowers by cannibalizing people with the same type of superpowers. Secondly, there are several people at the meeting.
A country has expressed an intention that they want to preserve the Almighty Stone for future use."
