I took a breath of air. I knew that Yang Jian, the strongest man in Xiqi City, was very strong, but I didn’t expect that he would be so strong. I immediately felt that I could condense the virtual phase in less than a month after entering the dark world.
Any pride evaporated.
Yan Xiru smiled slightly, obviously not paying attention to my reaction. She had seen similar reactions too many times.
The commander of the Third Division failed to win us over, so he didn't waste much time. After handing us the August 1st military emblem, he used this military emblem to issue a series of instructions, including marching routes, mid-way supplies, and temporary weapons deployment...
...and wait for the details.
After all, these 1,500 people are different from a small team like ours. First of all, they are not as strong as the members of our team. Secondly, with so many people, they can probably support the people of Xiqi City just by foraging for food along the way.
, there is no one left.
In particular, these 1,500 people are all new recruits, with almost no fighting power, and they don’t even have weapons. Firearms are not easy to use in the dark world, and the weapons such as daggers and short blades brought will be destroyed by the air in the dark world.
It corrodes slowly. Even if there are special preservatives, no one is interested in preparing so many for new recruits.
It was only after I got the August 1st Military Badge that I realized that the task of picking up new recruits was by no means as simple as I imagined. It was a blessing that I had the August 1st Military Badge, otherwise just adding these myriad chores would have been enough to give me a headache.
.
Precisely because the task of picking up new recruits is so important and is related to the future of Xiqi City, the team that is qualified to pick up new recruits must have a strong person at the virtual phase level, otherwise it will be impossible to complete such an arduous task.
I wiped it casually, and the August 1st military emblem was branded on my left arm. Maybe there was some problem with the military revision. When the August 1st military emblem was branded on my shoulder, it hurt as if it had been burned with a soldering iron. Fortunately, it was very painful.
It passed quickly, and I didn’t care too much. After all, it took me so long to live and die, and the small pain in my skin was really nothing.
As a team receiving new recruits, we are qualified to receive a batch of equipment, even allocate the most precious transportation resources, and obtain all relevant information.
Zhang Fei is naturally responsible for these things. Guys like me who only know how to act recklessly and fight cannot worry about that.
I took the time to go outside the city and brought back more than twenty Youyue Demonic Wolves. This time I doubled the price, but they were still sold out very quickly. With this merit point, plus the additional
With the 50 merit points I paid in advance for the recruit mission, I bought a pair of spider knives and planned to give them to Wang Dan.
Wang Dan and his special operations team happened to have just returned from hunting in the wild. When they saw me coming to my door, many of the female soldiers were ambiguous and deliberately pointed, which made me feel a little embarrassed.
This time the female captain did not show up, but with the help of various enthusiasts, I quickly found Wang Dan.
Wang Dan was holding a thorn tree pole in her hand, shaking the gun barrel, and practicing her marksmanship. It seemed that my arrival did not affect her martial arts practice, and she did not even look at me.
I watched for a while and saw that Wang Dan had no intention of resting. Knowing that she had not returned to her human appearance, she did not want to talk to me anymore. I casually inserted the two spiritual spider knives I was holding on the ground and said
Say "take care", turn around and leave.
Wang Dan didn't stop me, but I could feel that the moment I turned around, she turned around and looked at my back, and I didn't look back until I disappeared from sight.
After going here to think about it, I went back and prepared to set off to welcome the new recruits.
Lu Bu and the others took care of everything, and even brought three white-tusked beasts out, carrying equipment prepared for the new recruits. In fact, they were nearly a thousand thorn tree poles. These were easy to obtain, high-quality and cheap, so they could be given to the new recruits.
Of course it is best to use it.
When I saw those three white-tusked beasts, which were fatter than elephants, I was really surprised. I originally thought they would be some kind of high-end and elegant means of transportation, but I didn't expect that they would be restored to the age of animal power.
They actually used White Fang Beast as a beast of burden.
Of course, in terms of the function of a beast of burden, the White-tusked beast is the perfect choice. First of all, the White-tusked beast can eat anything and is very easy to feed. It is also huge in size and has extraordinary strength. It can carry heavier things. And it is white-tusked.
White-toothed beasts are very smart, easy to tame, and their meat is of good quality, so they can be used as food reserves. Therefore, there are more than 300 white-toothed beasts raised in Xiqi City, and the number is still growing.
I personally have some criticism because of my aesthetic preference. In fact, the White Fang Beast is more suitable for hard work than the Nether Moon Demon Wolf.
For tasks like picking up new recruits, no one knows whether they are destined to go or not, so the merit points are given out first, not after the task is completed. I combined the merit points I paid in advance with part of the money from selling the Youyue Demon Wolf
With the income, he bought weapons for Wang Dan, but later on, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei paid them back.
Even a few hours later, the rewards for us going to the Well of Eternity to report the rescue were distributed.
Lu Bu just got a human life soul as a reward. It was another adapted version of the Spiritual Vision Map. The functions were deleted and the logo was changed, but the name and basic functions remained the same. However, I was unexpectedly promoted to a level.
The military rank changed from major to lieutenant colonel.
This military rank is placed in the main world, and it qualifies me to be a powerful officer such as a battalion commander or deputy regiment commander. Although it is impossible to assign me so many subordinates in the dark world, it is enough to give me a little vanity.
When Zhou Jin casually gave me the status of a major officer, I had no idea that I would have a chance to be promoted. I only regarded the status as a lieutenant. But this award made me suddenly understand.
Whether I like it or not, in fact, in the eyes of everyone in Xiqi City, including Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei, I am already a warrior, not an ordinary person.
In view of the huge size of the White Fang Beast, we had to use the lifting equipment on the city top to lower the three White Fang Beasts down the city wall. They would not be able to pass through the passage.
When our group, consisting of thirteen people and three white-toothed beasts, finally reached the outside of the city, the sky was already slightly dark. The monsters in the dark world are active regardless of day or night, and the thick clouds in the sky are just
The light changes in brightness and darkness, so the sky is not a problem at all for us, so we set off immediately.
When we were more than a hundred kilometers away from Xiqi City, I also summoned all the wolves under my command. Although I sold dozens of the demon's men, there were many "battle losses" on the way back to Xiqi City.
, but there are still more than 3,000 of them. Apart from calling the wolves over, which caused a slight disturbance among the three white-toothed beasts, nothing happened. With the protection of the wolves, we will be much safer on the road.
