Chapter 863 Savage Growth

Nanming District Yezhou Special Service Brigade 1st Battalion Station Area

When Barto stepped his paw into the concrete trough, sticky black blood flowed down the grooves of his leg nails, forming an undercurrent with the smell of rotten meat at the bottom of the trough.

Puff, puff, puff~~~

As the logistics soldier of the special service brigade outside pressed the button, more than 20 zombie soldiers who had returned from the war silently lined up in three rows in the super-large disinfection center composed of towed field shower rooms, allowing their bodies to be washed by the high-pressure water hose.

For a moment, the steam blurred the figure...

When the hot water of more than 50 degrees poured down on their heads, not only the broken flesh and blood accumulated in the gaps of the armor were washed out, but also the fatigue and anxiety after the war...

When will this endless battle end?

Although they are now killing weapons that represent the ultimate individual strength, they were just ordinary people before they were deformed.

Not to mention the high intensity of slaughtering zombies and mutant creatures and treating scars and blood as normal, even when eating chickens and fish, they are bought by others and killed.

But that is fate. Once chosen, no one can resist. When the end of the world gives them this body, perhaps death after endless battles will be their only relief.

...

"Captain, you can enter the hot spring now. Your slot is still 01!"

About ten minutes later, a captain wearing a rubber apron came in, speaking with a respectful tone and a hint of admiration.

Today, the Yezhou Special Service Brigade has a total of 35 battalions. In addition to the escort battalion that protects the brigade headquarters, the remaining 34 are scattered throughout the night market to fight guerrilla warfare.

Considering that the war zone currently has no idea of ​​​​recovering the night market, Liu Zhenguo directly implemented a free-range policy on these 34 battalions.

The core idea is: kill more zombies in normal times and contact them less when there is nothing to do!

The promise made to these 34 zombie battalion commanders was: recruit more high-quality soldiers, and determine positions and organization based on troop strength in the future.

To put it bluntly, your rank is determined by the number of soldiers under your command. If you have 2000 zombies, you will be a brigade commander; if you have 1 zombies, you will be a division commander; if you have 2 zombies, you will be an army commander!

Liu Zhenguo's words were like a doomsday version of the development order for many zombies!

After all, zombies can neither be lustful nor eat, so if they want spiritual satisfaction, the only thing left is power.

What's more, most of these zombies were just ordinary people before the end of the world. Faced with the temptation of brigade commanders, division commanders, and even army commanders, who could not be inspired to make progress?

Therefore, the motivated battalions of the special service brigade relied on their identity as zombies to advance again and again, deep into the city.

Liu Zhenguo was not angry about this. Instead, in order to allow each battalion to completely let go, he directly ordered the removal of the human logistics personnel from each battalion!

After all, human soldiers cannot be like the zombie warriors, drinking animal blood when thirsty and eating zombies when hungry.

But as the battalions of the Special Service Brigade continued to explore and forge ahead, new problems arose. They found that human logistics were indeed indispensable, because the Special Service Brigade was a combination of zombies and human technology, and as long as it involved human technology, human participation was indispensable.

For example, the simplest and most important task is removing armor, which is difficult to accomplish relying solely on the mutated claws of the zombie.

To this end, each special service brigade and battalion had to start recruiting logistics soldiers locally in their respective areas. The number of soldiers that could be recruited depended mainly on how many were left in the activity area.

After being rescued by the special forces, the survivors automatically become full-time bathhouse attendants, specializing in washing, removing armor, and maintaining armor for the zombie troops after the battle.

It is better in areas with more survivors, as a large number of bath scrubbers can be recruited. The special service battalion is responsible for providing a safe and stable environment and sufficient food, and the survivors provide bath scrubbing services. Both parties benefit from it and everyone is happy.

However, in areas with a low survival rate of survivors, the situation is capped. Often, dozens of people have to serve nearly 500 or even more zombies, working from the moment they open their eyes until the lights go out.

However, having fewer people is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it means that those recruited are top humans in every sense of the word.

After all, being able to survive for several months in an environment full of zombies and mutant beasts shows that, in terms of psychological quality and survival skills, you can be regarded as a shining star among mankind. Even Bear Grylls would have to call him the ancestor.

The captain logistics officer who is talking to Barto now is a star among stars, the best among the best, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with such an important task by Barto and promoted on the spot to manage all the logistics personnel in the camp.

Because when Barto found him in the city center, the kid had already formed a parasitic relationship with the lord-level mutant wolfhound in the building where he lived. He was the only living creature in the entire building.

The Korean movie "Parasite" is directly reflected in reality. After spending two weeks figuring out all the habits of the mutant dog king, this kid turned the tables and made the mutant dog king passively become his watchdog.

So when Barto entered his shelter, the whole corpse was stunned!

Not only did this guy set up an e-sports room in the shelter, he even had the leisure to set up a collection room, where he specially collected luxury goods such as watches and jewelry that he picked up from the building or touched corpses. The brand-name shoes he had stripped off alone filled an entire wall, not to mention the stored food, which was enough to last him two or three years without any problem.

Therefore, among the many survivors rescued from the Special Service 1st Battalion, he was the only one who was most unhappy.

Others: Woohoo~Finally saved!

He: Woohoo~ The happy times at the end of the world are over!

.....

Woo~

Barto, wearing the iconic dark red armor, snorted, and then dragged his huge body, which was 2.5 meters long, nearly 1.1 meters wide at chest level, and weighed about 600 kilograms with armor, and crawled slowly and powerfully towards Bathing Pool No. 01.

As Barto dived into the hot spring pool with special bath detergent like a prehistoric crocodile, the disinfectant water in the pool, which was as hot as 60 degrees, overflowed instantly and splashed all over Captain Xu Jian, a logistics officer.

However, Xu Jian didn't care at all, as if the water had splashed on someone else, and the smile on his face didn't diminish at all:

"Captain, I saw you frowned when you were taking a bath yesterday. I guessed that the water temperature was not high enough, so I took the initiative to raise the temperature by ten degrees today. How do you feel now?"

Soaking in the pool, Barto felt his whole body warm, very comfortable and relaxed.

Woohoo~ "Okay"

Captain Xu Jian, the logistics officer, didn't understand what Barto was saying, but he knew that the other party was satisfied, so he clapped his hands and called out to the four logistics personnel who were waiting behind him:

"Start scrubbing!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, four logistics staff immediately came to the poolside carrying various cleaning tools.

Cluck cluck~~~

As the scrubbing began, the sound of the steel brush scraping across the surface of the Batto Vanguard Night Hunter armor was like sandpaper rubbing against bone.

During this time, broken bones were constantly brushed out from the gaps between the hexagonal armor plates, along with the fishy black blood, which spread out in the pool like black plums, centered around the broken flesh.

"T09527! Go into the 02 wash basin!"

Seeing that Battalion Commander Barto's cleaning was already in progress, Captain Logistics Officer Xu Jian began to arrange the cleaning order for the other zombie warriors.

"T09528! You go to 03!"

"T09529! You go to 03!"

"T0..."

...

As Captain Logistics Officer Xu Jian called the roll, after each roll call, a ghoul warrior wearing black armor would immediately crawl out of the disinfection center, and correspondingly, two cleaning logistics personnel would come forward carrying tools.

At first, the survivors were afraid of Barto and his men. After all, human instinct is to reject and fear the aliens.

But as they gradually became familiar with each other through contact, especially after they knew that the other party really belonged to the Central Plains War Zone of the human army, this fear and rejection gradually evolved into respect and admiration.

"Deformed into a monster but still remembering the mission", "Fighting alone behind enemy lines", "Never give up on saving any possible survivors".

With so many terms that symbolize heroism, how can he not be considered a hero?
