Chapter 72 Fever Infection
……

Da Mao hasn't woken up yet, and a group of survivors who are incurable and have persistent fevers have appeared in the M province base these days, and some of them have already begun to fall into a coma.

It is said that the fever is most likely due to some kind of viral infection and is contagious.

For a time, rumors spread all over the base.

Many people with fever symptoms have suffered from varying degrees of ostracism and cold stare. Now when encountering people with red faces and abnormal conditions in the base, everyone avoids them.

Some people who were unconscious with fever were thrown directly into the snow and left to fend for themselves.

This incident quickly attracted the attention of the base's senior management.Because of fever symptoms in the army, there are far more officers and soldiers who are unconscious than ordinary survivors.

The high-level meeting of the base was held in a villa in the middle of the mountain.

The villa was brightly lit and warm as spring, and the servants were neatly dressed and busy, with their heads bowed as they walked through it.

The floor of the conference room is covered with luxurious carpets, and the overhead is luxurious and exquisite chandeliers.

The main seat and the right side are still vacant. Men in suits and leather shoes are all sitting on the left side of the long conference table. Among them, the middle-aged man sitting first on the left hand side of the main seat is the most eye-catching.

The middle-aged man was shaking a glass of red wine in his hand. He has a fat body, a round face, narrow and long eyes, slightly raised lips, and a rich face. His face looks like a kindly Bodhisattva statue.

But when he looked at the empty main seat at this moment, the occasional flashes of light and calculation in his eyes made the servant who accidentally saw him serving the wine shudder, and the hand that poured the wine trembled unconsciously.

This middle-aged man is the deputy commander-in-chief of the base, Wang Yangming, the leader of the civilian area, and this luxurious half-mountain villa is his house.Sitting behind Wang Yangming's side were his subordinates, the guards of the civilian area of ​​the base, and the persons in charge of various aspects of the residence.

The convener of this meeting was not Tan Siqi, the current commander-in-chief of the base, but Wang Yangming, the leader of Province M and the current deputy commander-in-chief of the base.

The purpose of Wang Yangming's sudden convening of this meeting is also very simple, he wants to be the top leader of the base.

Since the establishment of the base, Wang Yangming's ambitions have continued to expand.

In his view, with the continuous natural disasters, the civilized order established in the previous society has long since collapsed, and with his status and ability, there is no need to be inferior to others.

There are seven or eight provinces in the eastern region, including M Province, Suzhou Province, and Gu Province. Wang Yangming’s position as deputy commander-in-chief is only temporary. Many high-level officials from other regions have already arrived at the base. These people used to be with him. The level relationship will also threaten his current position as the only deputy commander.

After all, there is only one principal position, and many vice positions can be set up.

But Wang Yangming is now fully in charge of everything in the civilian area of ​​the base, and the people in charge of all aspects of the civilian area of ​​the base are his direct subordinates, so how could he agree to other people to intervene in the affairs of the civilian area of ​​the base.

Wang Yangming has great ambitions. Not only does he not want others to interfere with his rights, but he also wants to go to the next level and become the commander-in-chief of the base.

If he faced the military from the front, it would be difficult for him to achieve this goal, but this time the large-scale fever infection in the army gave him a chance.

……

When the commander-in-chief of the base, old general Tan Siqi, brought several officers under his command and walked into this luxurious villa covered in wind and snow, the officers all frowned when they saw what came into view, and old general Tan Siqi's expression was even more serious. heavy.

Even in the peaceful and prosperous age, this villa can be called extremely luxurious.

All kinds of luxury furniture in the living room on the first floor, antique vases randomly placed, large well-known oil paintings on the wall... things that ordinary people may not be able to afford in their entire lives, but they can be seen everywhere here.

The warm and comfortable environment, bright lights... It was in stark contrast to the dire living environment of the survivors down the mountain, which made the officers present feel extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing them coming, the servants stepped forward with dusters in their hands, respectfully trying to dust off the snow and ice from their bodies, but they were stopped by someone.A group of people took the duster from the servant's hand and swept the snow off their bodies neatly.

After that, under the leadership of the butler, he came down to the conference room on the second floor.

"Commander Tan is here! This servant really doesn't understand the rules, so he didn't know how to call me so that we can greet you at the door." Wang Yangming said so, and gave the housekeeper a reproachful look, but he still sat firmly. In the seat, there is no intention of getting up to greet him.

"Don't back down, there is nothing you can see!" The secretary behind Wang Yangming looked in the direction of several people and scolded the housekeeper.

The butler lowered his waist amid the scolding like a servant in the old days, and hurriedly apologized and retreated.

This scene is clearly a shaming.

Tan Siqi looked at Wang Yangming, the two sides looked at each other for a moment, and the atmosphere in the meeting room gradually froze.

In fact, there have been many internal contradictions among the top management of the M province base.

At the beginning of the disaster, militarized management began to be implemented, and the four major military forces took the lead in preparing to build a human survival base.

However, the disaster developed so rapidly that the construction of the base was far behind the speed of the disaster. More and more survivors poured into the base, and the various infrastructures of the base became more and more tense.

However, the military is not good at dealing with civil affairs and construction management issues.

Those led by Wang Yangming stood up, and they also played an indispensable and important role in handling these matters.

It stands to reason that the problem was slowly resolved, and it was supposed to be a military-civilian joint construction base.

But at this moment, the power in Wang Yangming's hands has greatly increased, and his ambitions are gradually exposed.

The security organization under Wang Yangming has secretly trained a large number of guards, and the number of these guards has far exceeded the needs of the base for public security.

He reused his own people, formed cliques, and even more strongly advocated that the base be divided into independent civilian areas under the pretext of "classification and management", which is clearly separated from the military area, so that the civilian area is completely out of the control of the military area.

The rumor that "fever is an unknown virus that can infect each other" this time was promoted by Wang Yangming's people in the base, which made things worse.

"Snapped--"

"Wang, what do you mean! Our commander is the commander-in-chief of the base, and he is carrying out the orders of his superiors. Do you still want to overthrow it?"

At the beginning of the meeting, it was a disarming blow. During the process, Wang Yangming pointed all the contradictions at the military, implying that Tan Siqi should abdicate.

A hot-tempered officer finally couldn't help arranging the table, but Wang Yangmingfang was not to be outdone, and the person in charge of the security bureau responded unceremoniously to the officer:
"Superior? Your army is also very clear. Now that the four major bases are doing their own thing, there is no superior! What's more, it is not our Deputy Commander Wang who wants this position, but Old Commander Tan, your own ability is not enough to match this position. , Abdicating the throne and letting Xian is also responsible for the lives of all survivors in the base!"
