Chapter 349: Hope Corps!

Bai Zhengli planned to go directly to the northeastern Long Province, but Bei City was quite far from Long Province, and he had to pass through many cities along the way. Any accidents could happen along the way, and more importantly, he didn't know what other people were planning. If this matter wasn't clarified, the team might fall apart!

So after leaving Bei City, Bai Zhengli found an empty section of the road for everyone to stop, intending to have a good discussion with the other leaders. If others had other ideas, everyone would naturally part ways in peace.

Originally, Bai Zhengli thought that many people would leave, but unexpectedly, those people expressed their desire to follow them to Long Province. He was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood what these people were planning. The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and Long Province is a major grain-producing province. As long as they go there, their situation will definitely be much better! It's better than staying in a small city with a large population and little arable land!

Everyone is not stupid, so they will go wherever they can survive and live better. In the past, there was no way. Even if they wanted to, it would be useless without gasoline and diesel, and road safety was also a problem. But now, their entire team has four to five thousand people. As long as they can ensure the supply of gasoline, what else is there to worry about?

As for food and water, it was not a problem. If there were no accidents, it would take only one day to reach Dalong Province by car. Even if there were delays on the road, it should be possible to reach the destination in two or three days. Food was not a problem at all. Drinking water could also be solved by water-based supernatural beings. Moreover, both Fang Yuxin and Shang Jinxiu had a large amount of food stored in their spaces!

When Bai Zhengli called a meeting, he specially invited Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang because of their outstanding performance. They were the captain and vice-captain of the Yongsheng team. Although the Yongsheng team was too small, with only eighteen people, and nearly one-third of them had little combat power, no one who had seen the Fang family's strength would dare to ignore this team!

Fang Yuxin had remained silent until the leaders of other teams expressed their willingness to go to Long Province together. She suddenly spoke: "Since we are going together, why don't we form a mercenary group? Then, we will all be one family." When she said this, her eyes swept across the faces of the other leaders one by one, observing their expressions.

Although Fang Yuxin had a lot of food, she had no intention of using it to feed people! Moreover, they didn't know what the current situation in Long Province was. It would be better to use this opportunity to win people's hearts and minds instead of fattening them up and letting them start their own businesses. Only when all of them were united would they not have to worry about various frictions in the future.

Many people hesitated after she made this suggestion. Before, they were in Beishi Base, and there were many mountains above them. Even if they had ambitions, they could not realize them and could only work for others. But now the situation is different. They have left Beishi Base, and the mountains above their heads are gone. The Northeast is such a large area. After they get there, they can completely set up their own business and find a place to build their own safe base. Is it necessary to continue to rely on others?

Of course it is necessary!

This is what everyone is thinking. Those who were sent out to die were at most level 2 psychics, and most of the rest were level 1 psychics, but the Bai family and the four people from the Fang family were at least level 3 psychics! The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, but without the protection of the strong, these level 1 and level 2 psychics, let alone whether they can reach the destination safely, even if they arrive, they may not be able to deal with the local forces!

After all, the Northeast still has a population of more than 30 million. Even if most people died in the end times, the remaining people would not be a small number! There must be a safe zone there. Unless these outsiders have strong strength, they still can't take advantage of it!

What's more, they don't have gasoline or diesel!

Everyone knows that it is good to follow a big tree to enjoy the shade, so after some hesitation, the leaders agreed to this matter. This result was within Bai Zhengli's expectations. He had a faint smile on his face, and seemed to be quite satisfied with this result. He even suggested: "Since we are going to form a mercenary group, does anyone have any ideas about the name of the war group?"

When he asked this question, the leaders looked at each other, hesitating and not knowing how to start. Bai Ye was the first to speak: "Now is the end of the world. I believe everyone should have a hope in their hearts to end the end of the world and return to peace. So I suggest that we call it the Hope Team. All of us are fighting for the hope in our hearts!"

His words were powerful and the name he thought of was good, so no one had any objections, even Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang. Originally, they chose "Yongsheng" in the hope that it would be bright forever, but after meeting the Qu family and learning that there was a Qu Qiansheng in the Qu family, the two siblings could no longer look directly at the word "Sheng". The name Bai Ye chose was not bad, simple and easy to understand.

Thus, the name of the mercenary group was decided, "Hope Group".

After that, Bai Ye spoke bluntly: "Now that we have a name for the mercenary group, let's choose the leader and deputy leader, and also set the rules for the mercenary group. I suggest that my father Bai Zhengli be the leader, what do you think?"

His attitude was very rude, but the others had no choice but to buy into his account. They agreed to form a mercenary group because they saw the strong strength of the Bai family and the Fang family, so they had no objection to Bai Ye's proposal. Here, the strongest people besides the Bai family were the four people from the Fang family. The Bai family had more than a thousand people under their command. No matter how you look at it, the position of the group leader would not be theirs!

Cao Kun spoke first: "I have no objection. With Mr. Bai's ability and resume, he is indeed qualified to be the leader." He paused here, glanced quickly at Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang, and continued, "In addition, I have a candidate for deputy leader in mind. I think Mr. Fang Jintang is very suitable for this position."

He did not propose Fang Yuyang or Fang Yuxin. After all, Fang Jintang was still there, and he was the head of the Fang Group. He was the most suitable person to be the deputy leader. If they were to build a base in Long Province this time, they would definitely need a powerful business talent to manage the base! What's more, Fang Jintang was not only a business talent, but also a third-level supernatural person!

Although the others were a little surprised, they all agreed with Bai Ye and Cao Kun's proposal. Although Fang Yuyang was quite good, he was Fang Jintang's biological son after all, so it didn't matter who became the deputy leader. As for Fang Yuxin, although she was also very powerful, the leaders present didn't think she was suitable to be the deputy leader.

Bai Zhengli did not hesitate and directly accepted the identity of the head of the group. He also agreed to everyone's proposal to let Fang Jintang be the deputy head of the group. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang had no objection to this.

After the chief and deputy chief made their decision, several leaders present could not help but get nervous, worrying about what Bai Zhengli would do next. Bai Zhengli glanced at them, taking in their worried looks, and then said in a deep voice, "Since we have a mercenary group, we need a mercenary team. We now have a total of 4,781 people, so the strong ones will be divided into four teams, and the weaker ones will form a logistics team..."

Bai Zhengli then said a lot. The general idea was that his former subordinates of about 1,000 people would be the first team, with Bai Ye as the captain. The 2,000 people from the Qiankun Mercenary Group would be divided into the second and third teams, with Cao Kun and Guan Yue as the captains. The other three teams from the White Wolf Mercenary Group, plus those scattered corpse hunting teams, would form the fourth team, with Zhao Biao as the captain.

Guan Yue, like Cao Kun, was from the Qiankun Mercenary Group. He led a team and was about the same strength as Cao Kun, both at the mid-level of Level 2, and he was also quite smart. Zhao Biao was from the White Wolf Mercenary Group and also led a team. Compared with the other two captains of the White Wolf Mercenary Group and the captains of those scattered corpse hunting teams, he was obviously stronger, so he deserved to be the captain of the fourth team.

Each team is divided into ten squadrons, each squadron has about a hundred people. The squadron is further divided into ten teams, each team has about one person.

Those who could be assigned to the battle team were naturally quite strong. Each leader had a relatively good understanding of the situation of the teams under his command, and directly picked out the weaker ones to be assigned to the logistics team. The teams were almost divided. As for more detailed divisions, it was up to the battle team captains and their squadron captains to think about it themselves.

All of the Fang family's Yongsheng team were assigned to the logistics team. Although the Fang family was too strong and it seemed a waste to put them in the logistics team, they had no interest in those teams. Besides, the logistics team was also very important. So when Fang Yuxin proposed it, Bai Zhengli agreed immediately and made Qu Qianhe the team leader.

The difference is that the logistics team is not divided into several squadrons like those battle teams, but into combat team, medical team, scientific research team, catering team, manufacturing team and cleaning team. The combat team is mainly responsible for combat, with Fang Yuyang as the team leader and martial arts fanatic Zhou Han as the deputy team leader. The medical team, as the name suggests, is responsible for medical treatment, and the team leader is Fang Yuxin. The team leader of the scientific research team is Qian Sen, a famous botanist, and Li Qingyun is also in it. The catering team is responsible for providing drinking water and food, and Shang Jinxiu is the team leader. The production team is responsible for the manufacture of some items. At present, there is only a classification, and there are no suitable team members.

The cleaning team is responsible for cleaning the battlefield, including cleaning clothes and food, etc., and there is still only one category. After all, the people here are all superpowered, so it’s fine to use them to clean the battlefield, but it’s a waste of talent to do those miscellaneous tasks. If you meet a suitable ordinary person in the future, you can assign him to the cleaning team.

Emma, I hate this kind of chapters that explain the settings the most. Every time I have to rack my brains for a long time to think about it, but I have to write it. It's so frustrating!
