Lin Chao's expression remained unchanged, saying: "It's just that a few hundred Evolvers have died, and in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't have much impact. If you want to overthrow Commander He, shouldn't you have some other secret weapon?"

  Chu Shanhe looked at him with a hint of surprise in his eyes, not expecting this young man who seemed to be only in his early twenties to have such sharp thinking. He smiled slightly and said, "You're right, several hundred Evolvers are nothing compared to tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers armed with guns. However, sometimes it's the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

  He chuckled and said, "To be honest, it's very difficult to overthrow Commander He! If the overall strength of the base is divided into ten parts, then Commander He occupies six to seven parts. More than half of the troops are his men, including the air force, intelligence department, city defense department, and even the research institute. If the director of the research institute wasn't a close friend of Commander Xu, he would have been bought out by now."

  Lin Chao didn't interrupt and continued waiting for him to go on.

  "These hundreds of immature Evolvers, who are only half-grown in power, would be assigned to various positions in the military department if they were to grow up, spreading out like a spider web. At that time, 90% of the base's forces would be in his hands."

  Chu Shanhe looked at Lin Chao, a hint of a smile in his eyes, and said: "However, this time you let them directly lose this batch of elites, their beautiful dream has been shattered. Moreover, with your great discovery, as long as we can capture enough enhanced corpses, we can continuously manufacture Evolvers. A few hundred are nothing, given some time, it's possible to create an army of tens of thousands of Evolvers. At that time, wanting to clear a city will be a trivial matter..."

  "Get to the point." Lin Chao frowned and said.

  Chu Shanhe's excited expression suddenly stiffened, and he scratched his head awkwardly, saying: "Too excited, accidentally went off on a tangent. To get back to the point, Commander Xu's battle plan, I only know roughly. It is said that most of the regiment-level and above officers under Commander He's command have been won over."

  "Defection?" Lin Chao's face showed a hint of surprise.

  "That's right." Chu Shanhe said with a smile: "Your great discovery is the absolute trump card in Commander Xu's hand! With this, it can easily tempt He Pai's party members. You know, those school-level officials, although they have heavy troops, but they don't have the ability to become Evolvers on their own, they are just ordinary people. Now that such an opportunity is in front of them, who wouldn't want to become an Evolver? Who doesn't want to gain power? Who doesn't want to increase their lifespan? And even if some people want to resist, they have to think about it, Commander Xu, who holds such an important formula, has what kind of enormous potential in the future!"

  "Disaster has broken out, the country is not going to be the same, people have become realistic, there are very few die-hards, so this time overthrowing Commander He's grasp is very big. If we continue to drag it on, we will instead be detected by Commander He and he will take countermeasures. To avoid more troubles, Commander Xu has decided to announce tomorrow that the base will be named and Commander He will be expelled."

  Chu Shanhe smiled at Lin Chao and said, "That's why Commander Xu gave you such a high military rank. You should know that in the old days, those who obtained the rank of General were all proud sons of heaven, with strong political backgrounds and astonishing financial resources, plus their own hard work, only then could they climb to this position at around 60 or 70 years old. But you're only 20 now, and who knows, maybe in the future you'll have a chance to become a candidate for the next base chief!"

  Lin Chao glanced at him and said: "It's only been a month since we last met, and you've gone from being a junior captain to a lieutenant general. Isn't your promotion speed comparable to mine?"

  Chu Shanhe chuckled and said, "To be honest, I owe my promotion to Major General this time to you. Commander Xu has been saying that it's because of my keen eye for talent, haha, not a single word is wrong! From the moment I first saw you, I knew that Brother Lin would definitely do great things in the future!"

  Lin Chao said with a bad temper: "Your military rank has been promoted, and your flattering skills have also improved."

  Chu Shan He burst out laughing.

  He Headquarters

  Sha stood in front of a somewhat old sandalwood desk, lowering his head and recounting the situation he had just learned about.

  The office fell into silence.

  Sitting behind the office desk was a sixty-year-old man, with gray temples and a face as healthy and rosy as that of a young person, without any hint of old age. His eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp light, and on his palm resting on the armrest, there were several shallow scars from knives, which could imagine what kind of battle this hand had been through.

  "That old fox never fights a battle he's not sure of winning." Commander He spoke slowly, his voice was calm and peaceful, but with an air of unprovoked majesty. His eyes gazed out the floor-to-ceiling window at the courtyard, where in the depths of winter, the plum blossoms still bloomed vibrantly, defying the cold wind.

  His narrow and long eyes flickered with a profound light, saying: "Since he is so eager to drive me away, it will not be because we lost five hundred evolvers, but because he has grasped something else. It is very likely that he has cracked the password of the nuclear arsenal."

  Sha's surname jumped in his heart and said, "It can't be, the nuclear arsenal is not so easy to crack. We have found many experts in this field, but we haven't made any progress until now. Moreover, even if he has mastered the nuclear arsenal, our soldiers are all in one base. Does he want to perish together?"

  "He Commander fell silent for a long time before saying, 'As long as we control the amount, it's not necessarily that we need to go down together in order to defeat us. If it's not a nuclear arsenal... then there's only one possibility.'"

  "What?"

  "Research Institute!" Commander He's eyes revealed a deep, cold glow as he said: "If it's the Research Institute that has developed something like super-strengthened genetic medicine, perhaps they can cultivate several super-evolved individuals. Once these super-evolved individuals carry out assassinations on our military leaders, it will be difficult to defend against."

  "Super Evolver?" General Sha's face changed, and he hastily asked: "What should we do then?"

  He Jiling fell silent for a moment before instructing, "You immediately order all regiment-level and above officers to not leave the military camp unless necessary, and ensure they are surrounded by their personal guards. Additionally, select some ability users from the Ability Camp to provide close protection for them."

  Sha surname among them bowed his head and said: "Yes!"

  After he left, He Siling gazed at the snow plum in the courtyard and muttered to himself: "That newcomer actually managed to kill over 6,000 rotting corpses. This kind of power that surpasses human reason should be the result of Old Guo's research. However, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Something like this must have a considerable side effect... Hehe... Old Xu, you've been suppressed by me for so many years, are you suffocating yet?"

  ……

  Loudspeakers are installed in every street and alley of the base.

  Residents of living areas, military zones and bases all received a message that tomorrow will announce the establishment of ******, with significance equivalent to the founding of a country!

  For a time, the base was in an uproar, with everyone discussing it heatedly, but for these people at the bottom, this was just a spectacular commotion that had nothing to do with them.

  Only the high-level personnel of the base knew that under this festive surface, there was a surging undercurrent, which was a confrontation between the two strongest forces in the base. If they were not careful, they would destroy the solid walls that had just been established for a short time and turn them into flat ground.

  ……

  Today, I gained a new follower named Xiao Yang Fei Fei. Thank you very much! Tomorrow will be a triple update explosion. Originally today was also supposed to be a triple update, but I didn't sleep well last night and had some insomnia. My brain felt dizzy all day, so I was afraid of writing poorly and lowering the quality, so I gave up.
