Chapter 43 A Pitying Gaze

The evacuation efforts of various countries are proceeding in an orderly manner. Of course, not everyone will return; some choose to remain in foreign lands.

Some wanted to return to the East to seek refuge, while others wanted to leave the East to escape the disaster.

However, most people know that if a global crisis were to occur, ASEAN would undoubtedly have the strongest disaster relief capabilities and the best domestic environment.

"We still need to control the number of immigrants, carefully screen them to see if there are any spies among them, and temporarily place them in a unified shelter. If the apocalypse does not come, we will have to decide whether to repatriate or keep them depending on the situation."

The number of shelters is already overflowing, so it would be good to use them to house some foreign friends. However, the number of people who actually returned with overseas personnel this time is not that many.

Furthermore, the entry policy for foreign friends has been relaxed, and the number of people leaving the country and being repatriated has increased significantly.

Anyone who wants to come is welcome; those who shouldn't come, please leave; and those who want to leave, we won't keep them.

Let alone the impending apocalypse, once this general mobilization and wartime system are activated, many things from the past will change.

There is still a lot of work to be done properly behind this. Su Xun believes that since the Secretariat has already approved the decision, it already has corresponding contingency plans.

After listening for a few minutes, he had his own things to do. The number of survivor seeds who had come to the base had increased. Since concrete fortresses had also been built on the surface, the survivor seeds who had been recruited from society were all arranged here, which could effectively isolate them from the underground secret parts.

Wang Wei said to Su Xun, "The organization's idea is to form a team composed entirely of people with superpowers. Once the apocalypse arrives, this team will do everything in its power to ensure your safety."

Su Xun raised his hand: "Let the organization discuss this issue again. Our war situation is completely different after the apocalypse. Superhumans are a very valuable and crucial fighting force. We need to make these people play a greater role."

"Just leave the necessary personnel in the base, and distribute the rest to various key nodes. If the apocalypse comes, I will be at the forefront. To be honest, you can think of a superhuman as a tank."

"Once the battle has begun, there's no way you'd put a bunch of tanks in the rear to protect another tank."

Moreover, Su Xun can't be considered a tank. He's starting from scratch with the experience of a ninth-tier superhuman. He himself doesn't know how much change will happen the moment he comes into contact with spiritual power.

Su Xun didn't bring up these things that hadn't even been proposed yet, but only added: "If we really want to talk about it, the dueling generals described in those classic stories will become the mainstream of future battles."

Wang Wei wrote down Su Xun's opinion, then frowned and asked, "Does that mean our ordinary soldiers will become useless on the battlefield in the future?"

"of course not."

Although limited by population in his previous life, most of the extraordinary individuals fought alone, but they had also tried to launch collective battles. Su Xun summarized the core of this as winning by using orthodox tactics and unorthodox tactics.

He said to Wang Wei, "No matter when, war cannot be separated from infantry."

"We need infantry to maintain order, ensure logistics, and garrison strongholds. Moreover, more often than not, the wars we face involve the strong restraining each other and the weak concentrating their advantages."

Many forces—humans and zombies, humans and mutated beasts, zombies and mutated beasts—coexist in a relatively balanced state. Although they constantly attack each other, none can truly defeat the others. The protagonists in novels are ultimately rare and exceptional. Only by becoming stronger at a speed completely beyond reason can this balance be broken, thus establishing a new force and creating a new balance.

As they talked, the two arrived at a training ground where more than twenty people were waiting, all of whom were confirmed to have superpowers.

Su Xun looked at everyone one by one. Some of them he knew, and some he was meeting for the first time. He had only heard their names and stories before.

"Hello comrades, you should all know me, and you've probably read my books and watched my previous meeting videos. The main purpose of my visit today is to give you a special training session."

Upon hearing Su Xun's greeting, the twenty-odd people stood up straight. Not all of them were from the military, but many had already participated in military training for several days. Although they felt the organization's care and attention upon arriving here, they had not missed any training.

There weren't any rebellious individuals who tried to challenge authority.

Su Xun was very satisfied with the performance of these people. Several of them were on the special attention list and had caused a lot of trouble for certain bases in his previous life. Now they had integrated well into the group.

He took a stack of papers from his document bag and handed them to the people in front of him.

"This document is a training plan I have put forward based on my memory and experience, combined with each of your special abilities. It doesn't matter if you can't understand it now. Keep it safe, you can refer to it in the future."

Su Xun spent a lot of effort on these materials, but he believed it was worth it. In the apocalypse, the people who can play the greatest role are always the people, especially those who possess extraordinary powers.

A group of reserve superhumans carefully put away the documents and looked at Su Xun with bright eyes. In fact, many of them, as well as many others who knew about Su Xun's efforts, were genuinely grateful or respectful to this reborn individual.

Many people ask themselves if they would have been in his position to achieve what he has today.

Su Xun was unsure what these people were thinking. He addressed them, saying, "Many of you possess physical enhancement abilities, and for a long time to come, you will face close-quarters combat with your opponents."

"Even with other superpowers, in the early stages of the apocalypse, your strength is not enough to fight for long periods of time using your superpowers. You must learn some more direct attack methods, whether it is cold weapons or firearms, as soon as possible."

"In this regard, experienced instructors will come to train you later, and you can also ask your colleagues for advice."

"What I plan to teach you is something more suitable for the future battlefield, especially for those of you who come from the military. Your combat habits were formed in the process of fighting against people, while zombies and mutated beasts have many differences, so you need to prepare in advance."

His gaze swept over several familiar figures, and Su Xun casually called out a name.

"Xu Zhao, step forward!"

"Next, Comrade Xu Zhao and I will demonstrate and explain some basic combat strategies. Everyone can try to learn and think about them. In the future, we will need you as instructors to bring these strategies to various places."

Seeing Su Xun about to fight, Wang Wei was not worried at all. Instead, he looked at Xu Zhao with a pity. After all, he had worked with Su Xun for so long and knew that although this person spent all his time in the office, his fighting skills were astonishing.
