"I'm sure everyone knows that in this viral storm, most people with weak resistance were invaded by the virus and turned into flesh-eating monsters, which we call rotting corpses!" Commander Xu's gaze swept across the room, a hint of a smile on his face. "However, among them, there are a few who can tap into their inner potential, possessing extraordinary powers, superhuman hearing, vision, and other senses."
"We call them Evolvers!"
Everyone listened intently to the story of the Evolvers, which had long been circulating in the base and was even known by many refugees as a group of powerful humans.
"And now..."
Commander Xu's face was filled with a smile, and his voice rose by several degrees as he said: "The Base Research Institute has already developed something called Evolution Energy, which can make any ordinary person an Evolver!"
Wow!
All the refugees and ordinary soldiers were in an uproar, staring at Commander Xu in disbelief.
These days, the few words they heard the most were 【Evolver】!
Regarding the Fifth Military Camp, rumors about the S-Class Powerhouse have been circulating wildly within the base, saying that they are incredibly powerful, literally invincible superhumans!
Everyone yearns for such power, which means being able to live on and live a fulfilling life!
All the former He-style cadres, generals and researchers under He's command have been silent. They had known about this long ago and were naturally not surprised at all, as they were already tempted and bought over by this thing.
Commander Xu smiled slightly and said, "This thing can be popularized throughout the entire base. In the military, anyone who reaches a certain level of military merit can apply for the 'Evolution Plan' to become an Evolver. The other departments have corresponding requirements. As long as you pay the price, the base will give you feedback!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the entire base was stirred up.
In the base, there are too many departments, in addition to the military, there are also scientific researchers, staff of living areas, and city defense departments, etc.
Who doesn't want to be an Evolver?
Commander Xu smiled and said: "Next, we have invited 'Evolution Energy' contributor, Comrade Lin Chao to come on stage."
The square was quiet, with everyone holding their breath, filled with curiosity.
Under Commander Xu's gaze, Lin Chaoyue nodded slightly and stepped onto the podium, standing beside Commander Xu with a calm expression, not a hint of nervousness.
"It's him!"
"It's really him, I was wondering why he was wearing the deputy director's clothes."
"Good heavens, the person who discovered Evolution Energy is actually so young. He doesn't seem to be a researcher from the Institute, does he?"
The entire square was abuzz with discussion, curiously sizing up Lin Chao. Among them, some of the He faction's people looked at Lin Chao with a hint of hidden malice in their eyes. They knew that this person's information was that of a newcomer to the S-level military camp, and they couldn't believe that such a small ant had actually broken through the rigid control of the two major commanders' base, causing their lord He Commander to completely fall into defeat.
Although they were bought over, they knew that at most they could only follow the agreement and become Evolvers. Later on, wanting to continue holding high positions in the base would be impossible, and they would slowly be marginalized. They absolutely wouldn't have an easy time under He's command, and all of this was caused by this damned newcomer!
Lin Chao looked at Commander Xu, this was the first time he had seen him, and it was at such a close distance. This former upper-class person, now the base controller, exuded an aura of kindness and goodwill towards him.
"Lin Chao, I represent all the people who are suffering, and I salute you!" Commander Xu raised his dry palm to give Lin Chao a military salute, his expression solemn.
Lin Chao's expression turned serious and he replied, "This is what I should do."
Commander Xu's face revealed a hint of a smile, and he put down his hand, saying: "Comrade Lin Chao, I confer upon you the honorary position of Vice President of the Research Institute, as well as the honorary rank of General in the military. I hope that in the future, you will continue to make outstanding contributions to humanity. Are you willing to accept?"
"Agreed!" Lin Chao raised his hand in a salute.
"Very well, you may go." said Commander Xu with a smile.
Lin Chao nodded and walked down from the podium.
Commander Xu looked around the room and said in a loud voice: "Lin Chao, 19 years old this year, a hero emerges from his youth. He not only possesses extraordinary wisdom but also saved General Chu Shanhe of the base during the outbreak of the disaster, retrieving a tiger general for humanity. Moreover, he ranked first in the practical assessment of the S-level ability camp and killed 6,800 rotting corpses, making a huge contribution!"
"I hope everyone can learn from General Lin Chao, we are all members of humanity, our loved ones and friends are all in this base, sworn to defend the base to the death, and eliminate all the rotting corpses!"
The last few words, like a heavy hammer, stirred people's hearts!
All soldiers and refugees were boiling with anger.
Among the crowd, You Qian, Hei Yue, Fan Xiangyu and several others stood together. You Qian whispered: "Why don't they give us an official title? I don't want to be a general, even a school officer would do."
Hei Yue said gruffly: "At most, I can give you a junior officer position, the ones listed here are all at the school level or above, even Fan Mei didn't get any additional titles!"
Fan Xiangyu muttered: "I don't care, what's good about being an official among you humans? This Commander Xu is really senile, actually saying that this demon is a great man, has his eyes gone dim?"
"You Yu had the same feeling and said: 'I think so too...'"
"Hei Yue Dao said: 'His physique is 26 times stronger than yours, you can talk here and he can hear it.'"
"You just said that I didn't say that big brother is the most outstanding among all heroes, did I? My big brother's demeanor is majestic, simply a model for humanity..."
Fan Xiangyu said: "......"
After Commander Xu finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly said: "Commander, I heard that more than 500 people from Ability Camp were secretly killed by General Lin Chao in actual combat recently. I don't know if this is true or not?"
The speaker was a middle-aged general.
As he spoke, the atmosphere of the lively square immediately fell into a few moments of silence.
The soldiers in the major military camps were shocked, and suddenly remembered this matter. The recent ability camp actual combat termination event caused a huge sensation. Who would have thought that these 500 dead people were actually killed by Lin Chao?
The commander-in-chief looked calmly at the lieutenant general, recognizing him as someone who had been turned by Commander He. He smiled slightly and said, "Where did you hear that?"
Zhong Jiang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted and said: "Many people say so, I just want to know what the truth is."
Commander Xu saw that he was pointing directly at the problem, and smiled calmly, saying: "The truth is simple. Those 500 people died from a monster attack, and this monster was lured by some malicious people who tried to destroy our elite talents."
Zhong's face changed, knowing that continuing to entangle in this matter would absolutely not lead to a good outcome. Since ancient times, it has always been the case that the winner is king and the loser is a bandit. So-called truth sometimes isn't important. If he continued speaking, Zhong estimated that Commander Xu could directly say that he was that "man with ulterior motives". At that time, he would really be speechless.
He gritted his teeth and stared straight at Commander Xu, saying: "I still have a question."
Commander Xu's face still wore a smile, but his eyes had turned icy cold. He said calmly, "Ask away."
"General Lin Chao cannot have killed over 6,000 zombies in just eight hours without carrying any firearms during the actual combat assessment," said General Zhong solemnly. "Everyone knows how terrifying zombies are. It's impossible to kill even 600 of them, let alone 6,000! I know you all think General Lin Chao is an Evolver with extraordinary strength."
"But!"
He coldly gazed at Lin Chao not far away, saying: "In the actual combat assessment of Ability Camp, the second-ranked person only killed 900, the third-ranked person only killed 200, and the rest could barely kill 100. The gap between General Lin Chao and them won't be too ridiculous, will it?"
Upon hearing his words, all the ordinary soldiers and refugees were shocked, never expecting Lin Chao's kill count to be so far apart from other ability users. They had thought that evolvers were all this terrifying.
For a moment, many people looked at Lin Chao with some confusion, wanting to wait for his explanation.
Commander Xu's face was gloomy, he could explain other things, but this matter was hard to make sense of, no matter what reason, it would seem forced. Just as he was thinking of a way to explain, Lin Chao suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the direction outside the base, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
Almost at the same time as he sensed it, a small fighter plane for reconnaissance flew over the square, and a soldier quickly descended from the plane, completely disregarding the solemnity of the moment, rushing to the podium and saying in a panic: "Commander, there are two monsters heading towards the base."
