Chapter 993: Chief Gu? The Western Theater Command is saved!
The dead silence lasted for more than ten seconds...
Gao Zhikai and Zou Yuan barely managed to wrestle from the vast amount of information contained in that brief sentence, which was enough to overturn the Northwest situation, and barely grasped the suffocating background of the "Zhongzhou War Zone":
The Zhongzhou War Zone they were talking about was a top-level secret strategic force established in Ye Province by the Supreme Commander of the Shenjing Central Command after the apocalypse...
This instantly explains all the weirdness!
The equipment before him was beyond his time, and the abundance of materials in the apocalypse was unimaginable (Gao Zhikai knew it)...
Everything stems from the unfathomable heritage of "Shenjing"!
However, this realization was like a cold poisonous snake, biting Gao Zhikai's heart instantly!
He was startled, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!
The 77th Legion! Weren't those retired soldiers he ordered hunted down actually approved for discharge by the other side?!
Thinking of this, Gao Zhikai's mood suddenly sank...
He is proud, but he has also seen the world. He is not a frog in a well, nor is he so outrageous as to look down on everything...
The title of "highest-level secret strategic force" alone sounded terrifyingly powerful. Whether in terms of equipment or combat technology, it was definitely not something his 76th Legion could contend with...
The chaotic thoughts were like a raging storm, almost swallowing him up. Gao Zhikai bit his tongue hard, and the severe pain forced him to suppress his turbulent emotions.
He forced a smile on his face, trying to maintain the calmness of the situation, but the smile was stiff and forced, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth even twitched unnaturally:
"I see...I see! Since you're a brother unit directly under the Divine Capital, and you've come all this way, I'm sure it must have been very hard for you?" His voice was slightly dry.
"How about... we take a short break first, and then we can discuss business in detail? How about that?"
While he was speaking politely, he instinctively began to test the waters, his eyes seemingly casually sweeping over the silent steel warriors and the cold helicopters.
"Your unit must have come here on this helicopter, and it must have been a tiring journey... I wonder which base it took off from?"
He tried hard to make his tone sound like ordinary concern, but his tense nerves revealed the turmoil in his heart.
voyage!
This fatal question was like a steel needle piercing his mind!
According to his understanding of the current helicopters, it is impossible to fly all the way from the distant Ye Province to Lan City!
Then the only explanation is...
An icy chill instantly froze his blood! Could it be that... the tentacles of the Zhongzhou War Zone had quietly and shadowily extended into Gansu Province?
Maybe even... right next to his bed?! The fear this thought brought far outweighed the shock of his previous cognition!
Gao Zhikai, who knew full well what he had done and what he was planning, could hardly restrain himself from imagining the force in front of him as an enemy!
His eyes involuntarily fell again on the group of Spark members standing still like sculptures.
A cold thought emerged uncontrollably: If... if it was such a force armed to the teeth and moving like a ghost, carrying out the decapitation operation against him...
With early warning and relying on pre-set positions, perhaps... we can still resist?
But what if...it's a surprise attack without any warning?
That equipment beyond comprehension, that inhuman tactical prowess, that instantly devastating firepower...
Especially the four-eye panoramic night vision goggles that almost everyone has. This means that under the natural cover of darkness, the security force that he is proud of may be like a naked baby in the eyes of the other side!
The most likely outcome is a one-sided, silent and complete crushing!
Unless he hides in the 'Kuafu Base' a hundred meters underground and doesn't come out...but the key question is, what will happen to the troops if he hides in there?
He didn't think his prestige was high enough to allow him to remotely control his troops even from deep underground.
Besides, wasn't all his planning designed to break free? He struggled, only to find himself trapped deeper in his own cage. Wouldn't that be a waste of time? Death would be a much better solution...
hiss--
Thinking of this, and realizing that he was in an unprecedented crisis, Gao Zhikai seemed to be able to hear his heart beating wildly in his chest!
The once blazing fire of ambition deep in his pupils suddenly became shaky...
...
However, before Wang Wu could answer Gao Zhikai's question, Zou Yuan, deputy commander of the Western Theater Command, changed the subject: "May I ask who is the commander of your theater command?"
After realizing that it was a thick thigh, Zou Yuan, deputy commander of the Western Theater Command, put on a warm smile.
"Who knows, I might even have the honor of working with or knowing your leader!"
"After all, I'm a veteran of the Shenjing faction. The circle of high-ranking military officials is so small. Maybe I really know him?" Zou Yuan couldn't help but think to himself.
"Reporting to the commander," Wang Wu said calmly, playing the role of 'ignorance' perfectly. "Our theater commander is Gu Chengyuan, Commander Gu!"
"Oh! It's Chief Gu!"
Zou Yuan suddenly slapped his thigh, as if he had suddenly realized something, and his voice became high-pitched, full of exaggerated enthusiasm of "I have heard of your great name for a long time".
Gao Zhikai, watching Zou Yuan's expression, had no doubts about what was going on, but his heart sank again: "This damn Zou Yuan actually knows me? Is God trying to kill me?"
However, beneath Zou Yuan's enthusiastic expression, his brain was rapidly searching its memory bank:
"Shit, Gu Chengyuan? When has there ever been such a person in the army?"
"Anyone who can command such a strategic force must be at least a lieutenant general or above! Who among those at this level in Zhou Bang's army doesn't have a name? It makes no sense that I have no impression of them at all..."
'Could it be... because the confidentiality level is too high? So high that even a deputy war zone commander like me is not authorized to know?' As soon as this thought came to mind, it grew like a weed.
This elite force before us, armed to the teeth and emitting a cold murderous aura, is so real, so powerful, so powerful that there is not even a trace of flaw to be found!
In the face of such absolute power, Zou Yuan didn't dare to question the authenticity of his background!
He would rather believe that he had a bad memory, or that the other party's confidentiality level was extremely high - that was a realm he could not reach or even imagine!
As for the absurd idea of "privately-run armed forces"? Zou Yuan had never even thought about it!
Are you kidding me?
Just with this sci-fi exoskeleton, this tactical mastery that follows orders like a precision machine, and this overwhelming aura of blood and iron...
You say this is a civilian armed force? Then wouldn't the regular army in the Western Theater be a makeshift one?! This idea was so absurd that even he found it laughable!
Therefore, when he completely confirmed in his memory that "there is no such person", not only did he not have any doubts, but he became even more convinced!
"Even a Lieutenant General like me, the Deputy Theater Commander, has never heard of this existence..."
"Doesn't this just confirm their identity as a 'top secret strategic force'?"
"This is the real secret! This is the smell!"
In an instant, all doubts disappeared like mist in the sun!
What followed was an indescribable sense of excitement that ran through Zou Yuan's body like an electric current!
The Central Plains War Zone has arrived, and the Western War Zone is saved! !
The haze that has plagued Zou Yuan and the Western Theater Command for many days seems to have seen the dawn of a solution at this moment!
