Luo Zheng did not imdiately respond to the scholar's question but looked towards the large pit, estimating the ti. He expected in about three hours, there would be widespread decay, and within five hours, viruses could begin to spawn. As for what kind of virus would be produced or its effects on people, Luo Zheng was also uncertain. This kind of approach that went against natural law would not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary. Since the enemy mobilized so many troops to encircle and kill, there was no need to worry too much. For the mission, for the nation, as a soldier, there is no regret even in death. What harm is a little infamy?
"Old buddy, can that thing really work?" the scholar asked softly, following Luo Zheng's gaze towards the large pit, worried. If it were this easy to destroy a base, there was no need for fighting, nor for producing high-end weapons; just use wild animals.
Every ti different animals are collected, the ingredients and proportions are not the sa, so the results naturally differ. Too many variables are involved. Luo Zheng was not a chemist or doctor; he only knew how to use the thod but did not understand its principles. Unable to explain the rationale to the scholar, his face grew solemn, firmly nodding as he said, "Don't worry, you'll see when the ti cos."
"Alright, I'll be watching. What's next?" the scholar asked.
"Do nothing, just wait. Everyone's been tired all day, get a good rest, act after dawn, and set up a vigilant watch within a ten-kiloter range. We cannot afford carelessness, as you know the enemy is mobilizing troops." Luo Zheng said.
"Yes!" the scholar responded seriously and went off to deploy.
The troop quickly dispersed and hid in the surrounding woods, forming a triangular distribution. The sentries hurried away, everyone silently ate their rations to regain strength, rested for a while, and checked their equipnt. Luo Zheng quietly found a place to sit and rest; able to roughly infer the enemy's conspiracy, his heart felt much more stable.
Lan Xue sat beside him, leaned against Luo Zheng's back, and whispered, "The virus you created can only attack the base; what about the tens of thousands on the outskirts?"
"No need to worry. As long as we conquer the base, destroy the missiles, and demolish the lab, we'll evacuate imdiately. As for the thirty thousand outside, that's not our mission; let them be." Luo Zheng said softly and closed his eyes in contemplation.
The enemy has encircled on three sides, plus the eastern border line garrison, effectively creating a four-sided encirclent. It's blooming from the center. Facing this strategy, the best way is to remain hidden and motionless so the enemy cannot find us, though such possibility is quite small. Another strategy is to attack from all sides, tiring the enemy and exposing their weaknesses.
Thinking this over, Luo Zheng unknowingly fell asleep. Upon waking, it was around four in the morning, perfect timing. By now, the animal corpses could produce enough decay to spawn germs. Luo Zheng imdiately nudged Lan Xue awake, found the sleeping scholar, and said, "Wake the brothers, gather up, ti to get to work."
Shortly, everyone woke up startled, watching the surroundings as if facing an enemy assault. Upon learning that it was Luo Zheng initiating action, they secured their weapon safeties, ford into four teams, and looked resolutely at Luo Zheng, awaiting orders.
Luo Zheng let his eager gaze sweep through everyone. With such a team present, what was there to fear? He looked up at the pitch-black sky, there were almost two hours left until dawn, enough ti for everyone to prepare. Imdiately, he set his expression seriously and said softly, "Brothers, you know the situation. The enemy has encircled us on all sides, heavily searching. This is our honor, to have tens of thousands of troops chase us indicates their fear and your extraordinary capability."
Everyone chuckled, eyes turning fervent towards Luo Zheng, their blood starting to boil.
"Now, I will lead you to create sothing that will make the enemy even more fearful. The more they fear, the more advantageous it is for us. Everyone, follow my orders." Luo Zheng continued coldly.
Everyone straightened their chests and ears raised, awaiting orders, standing upright like javelins, their bodies emitting strong intent for battle.
"Everyone, chop branches and fork out all the animal corpses buried in the pit, throw them into the river ahead. Pay attention, the corpses contain viruses, avoid contact with your skin, and be careful. Move." Luo Zheng commanded.
Everyone silently dispersed, swiftly drew their military knives, and cut appropriate branches, quickly prepared them, and gathered near the pit. The floating soil above the pit was cleared, revealing already completely rotted corpses inside, along with a pungent stench that nauseated.
Luo Zheng gestured for everyone to wait for a mont, until the stench dissipated sowhat. Then everyone carefully speared an animal corpse with the branch and moved, extending as far as possible to avoid slipping off and touch oneself. Moving cautiously to avoid bumping comrades, everyone listened very clearly to Luo Zheng's orders, leaving no room for carelessness. Overnight, all the corpses had rotted to this state, shocking everyone and daring anyone to be inattentive.
Everyone carefully moved the rotting animal corpses forward. After ten or so minutes, they reached the riverbank. Luo Zheng chose a stretch of gentle river surface, gesturing for everyone to fill their water bottles first. They carried disinfection pills, dropping a pill into the bottle for a sterilizing effect, then together sank the animal corpses and branches into the riverbed to prevent enemy discovery as instructed.
Half an hour later, all animal corpses were subrged in the riverbed, secured by branches to prevent drifting. The branches were subrged and difficult to detect. After completing everything, Luo Zheng did not rest but continued to have everyone use helts to scoop the filthy black water from the pit and pour it directly into the river.
Once this was done, Luo Zheng quickly had everyone gather together, his expression serious as he said, "Brothers, now I require you to disperse into smaller groups for combat, break out of the enemy encirclent focusing on harassnt, exhaust and collapse the enemy, ensure safety, and maintain contact at all tis."
"Yes." Everyone responded in a subdued shout without hesitation.
Small unit special operations are what everyone is most familiar with and skilled in; harassnt warfare is no concern against those so-called tens of thousands of soldiers. In these dense woods, hiding is not difficult, and everyone has their thods. Luo Zheng glanced at the scholar, who knowingly nodded and said, "Brothers, my captain, this mission's supre commander entrusts those tens of thousands of soldiers outside to you. This is a trendous trust; do you have confidence in completing the mission?"
"Yes." Everyone shouted softly.
"Very good, fight as you must, however you want. I'm not by your side; you are like Sun Wukong. There is only one condition — perform well in this grand rebellion, stay alive, and once back, I'll treat you all to drinks. Go ahead." the scholar said sternly.
"Yes." Everyone shouted softly, donned their night vision devices, quickly scattered, and disappeared into the woods.
