After a discussion, Zi Ling reported, "Leader, if we want to completely protect the trapped Level 4 evolved beast, we all agree that it's safest to attack Copper City directly first."

"During our attack on Copper City, on the one hand, the advanced evolved zombies in the mines may not necessarily come out, which greatly reduces the difficulty of our attack on Copper City."

"On the other hand, if those advanced evolved zombies in the mine come out, it will also be a good thing for us. If we eliminate those advanced evolved zombies outside the mine, then the threat inside the mine will be greatly reduced."

Jiang Wu nodded and said, "I'm not worried about the zombies outside. I'm only concerned about how to deal with the advanced evolved zombies inside the mine. The terrain inside is too complicated, with countless branching paths, and we don't know where those branching paths ultimately lead."

Zi Ling and the analysts all fell silent.

Jiang Wu wasn't in a hurry and enjoyed the Blood Woman's massage.

Zi Ling glanced at the Blood Woman who was massaging Jiang Wu from behind, and said cautiously, "Leader, the only thing we can think of is to rely on the high-level zombies controlled by the Blood Woman to clear them out little by little, with our evolved humans following along."

"After all, as long as we clear out the zombies in Copper City, the number of zombies in the mine will be limited."

"Explosives are definitely out of the question for that level four evolved beast, and fire would also be risky. The intelligence team checked the information on this mine, and it contains flammable materials such as sulfur ore. If we ignore it, especially in that smoldering environment, I'm worried that we'll smolder the level four evolved beast into charcoal..."

Zi Ling explained in great detail, covering all the possible scenarios.

Jiang Wu also understood their difficulties.

If it weren't for that level-four mutated fat pig, the safest approach would have been to seal off all the entrances to the mine, trapping all the high-level zombies, mutated rats, and mutated bats inside.

However, the thousand-ton mutated fat pig on its head was just too tempting.

Especially since it's already trapped inside.

It would be such a shame to miss it.

After carefully considering everything he had seen in the enormous cave, Jiang Wu took a deep breath and said seriously, "Tell me your plan to attack Copper City."

Zi Ling nodded and said, "Leader, we plan to use your and Lady Blood Maiden's golden giant birds to send some of our most loyal warriors to the mine exits to monitor whether the high-level zombies inside are coming out..."

"In addition, we will utilize the existing trenches..."

"Copper City is quite large, divided into several major districts. Our manpower is limited, so we can only expend resources little by little. This process may take half a month..."

After listening quietly, Jiang Wu nodded and said, "Okay, we'll arrange it as you say."

Just then, the soldier on duty came in and shouted, "Reporting to the leader and officers, a large, fully armed force of more than three thousand men has approached our camp. They say they are the First Brigade of the First Division of the Restoration Army and want to see the leader. Their leader is outside the camp."

Jiang Wu was slightly taken aback.

The First Brigade of the Revival Army?

How did they end up here?

Jiang Wu then said, "Have their person in charge come over."

Soon, Wu Ming, Li Zecheng, and Lü Qi entered the tent.

Upon seeing Jiang Wu in the main seat, they immediately straightened their backs, saluted, and shouted excitedly, "Leader!"

Jiang Wu nodded to the three of them and asked curiously, "How did you end up here with the First Brigade of the Restoration Army?"

Wu Ming said earnestly, "Leader, we were ordered to set off from Fuxing City to establish contact with Guanghui City. After arriving in Guanghui City, we heard from the people there that you were leading the main force of the Guanghui Army to that nuclear defense base 101."

"After understanding the situation, Chief of Staff Li believed that if it were only for the purpose of defending Nuclear Base 101, the leader would not have brought so many people. There must be other purposes. He then reviewed the surrounding information."

"Finally, Chief of Staff Li believes that you, Chief of Staff, are likely here to recapture Tongcheng, a mining city, so we came here."

After hearing Wu Ming's words, Jiang Wu frowned slightly.

Does this count as acting on one's own initiative?

In a real military, Wu Ming and Li Zecheng would probably be dismissed immediately.

As Wu Ming spoke, he secretly observed Jiang Wu's expression.

Seeing Jiang Wu frown, Wu Ming swallowed hard.

Sure enough, something big is about to happen.

He gritted his teeth and continued, "Chief of Staff Li has inquired about the weapons, ammunition, and firepower of the Radiant Army. He believes that attacking Copper City will be quite challenging, which is why he discussed with me the necessity of coming here to provide support."

“Chief, I gave the order to come here. It has nothing to do with Chief of Staff Li. I am willing to accept the punishment.”

Li Zecheng said with a serious expression, "Chief, it was I who persuaded Commander Wu to lead the soldiers here. He has always been very obedient to orders, and I am willing to accept punishment."

Lu Qi, standing to the side, secretly groaned inwardly.

These two bastards called me over, saying they were here to make a contribution.

So why are they now taking the blame?

Doesn't that mean coming here was a mistake in itself?

Wouldn't I suffer too?

Meanwhile, the leaders of the Glorious Army were also completely dumbfounded.

The division commander and chief of staff of the Fuxing Army, such high-ranking officers, took the initiative to lead their troops here to help. Shouldn't they be highly praised?

Why is it still like this?

After listening to Wu Ming's explanation, Jiang Wu roughly understood Li Zecheng's thoughts.

Li Zecheng had no idea that the Blood Woman could control so many evolved zombies.

He was unaware that the Glorious Army had acquired a large amount of equipment at the Nuclear Defense Base 101.

Therefore, based on his assessment of the original strength of the Radiant Army, Li Zecheng believed that attacking Tongcheng would be extremely challenging.

Jiang Wu personally admires Li Zecheng.

However, from the perspective of the entire army, Jiang Wu must make them remember that military orders are absolute.

After all, the Chinese military has always emphasized this principle throughout history, which must have profound implications.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wu said seriously, "Leading troops into action without authorization is punishable. However, the Fuxing Army is indeed needed now, as it can greatly alleviate the pressure brought by the attack on Tongcheng. From this point of view, I should reward you. One reward and one punishment, the merits and demerits cancel each other out."

Wu Ming and Li Zecheng were surprised that Jiang Wu let them off so easily, and immediately shouted, "Yes, leader!"

Jiang Wu glanced at Zi Ling, then looked at Wu Ming and Li Zecheng, and said calmly, "The capture of Tongcheng will be arranged by the Radiant Army. Wu Ming and Li Zecheng, you will follow Zi Ling's arrangements for now."

Then, Jiang Wu looked at Zi Ling and said seriously, "Zi Ling, Commander Wu and Chief of Staff Li are my most trusted subordinates. They are the absolute core of the Fuxing Army and are also very capable people. You should listen to their opinions more."
