Enforcer's Handbook

War has always been the natural enemy of salted fish.

Song Lan suddenly felt alarmed, and Lu Xiang immediately brought him even worse news.

According to the regulations of the coalition government, during wartime, men over the age of 18 have the obligation to perform compulsory military service. Although the recruitment bureau has adopted a voluntary registration process this time, once the battle situation on the frontline changes, for example, the third neutral country has researched The war weapons have gained an advantage and threatened the territorial security of the coalition government. "Hot-blooded youths" like Song Lan will be forcibly sent to the front line.

An exoskeleton armor and an electromagnetic rifle, this is their way back.

Of course, given Song Lan's level of marksmanship, Lu Xiang sincerely felt that giving him a wooden stick would be much better than an electromagnetic rifle.

At least it is difficult for wooden sticks to accidentally injure teammates on a chaotic battlefield.

"Speaking of which, with your current shooting skills, you should be able to piss off the training camp instructors to death before you are officially sent to the front line."

Although this sounds like a joke, Lu Xiang is serious.

Ever since the Devourer last fought alongside Song Lan, it had strongly requested that Song Lan be prohibited from being equipped with weapons with long-range killing effects.

"The training camp in District 17 is in the suburbs of the Eastern District. The Recruitment Bureau temporarily used an abandoned factory as a base for recruitment and training. It is said that thousands of people have been recruited so far."

What awaits them at the training camp will be a week-long crash course for frontline soldiers.

Since it is a crash course, these soldiers can only be taught to use exoskeleton armor and coalition government military standard weapons at a minimum. Those people have no idea what a terrifying enemy will be waiting for them in the third neutral country, nor do they. It comes to mind that the coalition government does not expect them to come back alive from the front.

This is why the coalition government chose to recruit troops in border cities and issued this speech.

The conscripts were mostly gang members, a way for a bunch of scum to contribute to the coalition government until the end of their lives.

The role of the advance troops on the battlefield is tantamount to exchanging physical bodies for intelligence.

The coalition government's all-conquering intelligence war failed this time. The foreign dispatch department was unable to set up a stronghold in the third neutral country. Even the top battlefield intelligence officers did not understand why they would be exposed to the sight of those monsters as soon as they approached the war zone. .

Lu Xiang knew very well that this was the Devourer's consciousness at work.

All members of the group share a brain, which allows them to achieve zero-loss communication at the level of information communication and strategic deployment. In a sense, the army created by the Devourer is exactly what the coalition government created. Considered the final form of the army.

Get rid of all individual negative emotions and completely submit to the collective direction.

But the recruits who don't know these inside stories are still immersed in the beautiful imagination of victory. In their opinion, what's so scary about a group of bugs that look like mutant creatures?

"Of course, if you don't want to serve in the military, I can think of some ways. We can issue a disease diagnosis certificate here."

Lu Xiang knew Song Lan very well. From the moment he entered the office, his facial features were almost twisted together, and his resistance was completely written on his face. Moreover, it was really a bit awkward for Song Lan to go to the battlefield with the large army. It's embarrassing for him.

The real battlefield is different from a one-on-one duel. By then, they are likely to face enemies all over the mountains and plains, and allies will become a drag at that time. According to her observation, not only is Song Lan's marksmanship extremely poor, his extremely lethal weapons All abilities come with friendly damage.

This once again proves that becoming friends or comrades with Song Lan is a dangerous thing.

"But Father Bruno strongly suggested that we go to the Third Neutral Country to find out what's going on. He thinks that the sudden launch of war by the Eclipse Religion is very abnormal, and before he left, he had never seen those mutated creatures in the church. He suspected This is most likely related to the 'mine'... Can your expression be normal?"

Lu Xiang had to take a deep breath.

For some reason, Song Lan always had the magic power to make her laugh out loud even when she was talking seriously about business.

She coughed slightly and continued, "The Devourer also sent a message. It always felt that something in the third neutral country was calling it."

Medel once mentioned that Yungang Biopharmaceutical's research on the Devourer project was born from the "outside world". This is one of the company's most important genetic projects. Several important components of the Devourer gene are related to Related to the radioactive creatures in the third neutral country.

In fact, she couldn't say whether the project was ultimately successful.

They have indeed created a genetic creation that surpasses any currently known life form. Its ability to evolve independently is so powerful that it scares even the researchers on this project. It is not only living things that can be assimilated by Devourers, but also Even machines, artificial intelligence and inanimate objects will be parasitized by it.

When it is fully evolved, it will be almost immune to most current weapons, and in a very short period of time, it will spawn a mutant specifically designed to restrain such weapons. Merdel suspects that the video has the ability to invisibility and cutting. The mutated creatures are the troops "bred" by the Devourers of the Third Neutral Country in response to the local environment.

"Medale conservatively estimates that the probability of the coalition government's advance troops surviving in the third neutral country is 0%, unless..."

"unless?"

"Unless we get involved."

After learning about the "upper world" theory proposed by the dean of Wisteria Academy, a long-standing question seemed to be answered invisibly.

As the leader of the Devourer project and its nominal creator, Medel has always had a huge question in her mind.

Why is Devourer afraid of Song Lan?

This fear is as if written in its original genetic sequence. It seems that no matter how much evolution it has completed, it cannot get rid of this instinct written into its genes.

Lu Xiang has also been secretly observing the way Song Lan and Devourer get along.

At least on the surface, they get along very well. This is due to the fact that Song Lan has never been a person who likes to speak harshly to others, even when dealing with Devourer. The two parties even sometimes sit in the public rest room of the garbage dump. In the room, we carefully discussed the direction of the evolution of the insect swarm.

This made Lu Xiang feel that in addition to the instinctive fear, the Devourer seemed to regard Song Lan as a teacher. When its abilities grew, the first thing it did was to observe Song Lan more deeply. Lan's life.

Combined with his identity as a "superior creature", the Devourer's attitude of awe seems to be explainable.

Perhaps it was the first creature to discover Song Lan's differences.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang said calmly, "Of course, even if we participate, we will not follow the frontal troops. We can go to the logistics supply team or the medical team."
