Level 6 zombie threat?
And the spatial blade of slow slicing?
In addition to excessive doses of psychotropic drugs?
You call this a proper recruitment assessment? Those who survived must have been blessed by Lady Luck, right?
Xiahou Ming blinked: "Of course, those who pass the entry test still need to pass the strategist's lie detector test to prevent them from being spies sent by the enemy organization. This way, we can basically eliminate any dangerous loopholes."
"President, is there a problem?"
"No...no problem."
What else could Zhang Hao say?
Xiahou Ming and Zhao Wu are the real experts in this area.
Although I am the guild leader, if I interfere too much, it might cause the [Death Legion] to become unworthy of its name.
But he was happy to.
That doesn't mean others don't have opinions.
Makino, the vice-commander, stepped forward, frowning, and said, "Chairman, I think this kind of torture is too much, and even violates the spirit of humanitarianism... These prisoners are also human beings, even if it's to replenish the [Death Legion]."
"But we could weaken the methods a little and convert more surviving prisoners into legion members, wouldn't that increase the Dawn Society's fighting strength? I don't think it's meaningful for so many people to die?"
"..."
Zhang Hao didn't respond, but looked at Xiahou Ming and asked, "Xiahou, what do you think?"
Xiahou Ming said calmly, "First of all, I think this view is very naive. What is the [Death Legion]? It is the most special of the five legions. It is the first sharp blade of the Dawn Society on the battlefield. A sharp blade needs to be sharpened by a millstone."
"How can you forge a sharp blade if the millstone isn't rough enough? It's like what you just said: if we loosen the requirements for joining the group, more people will indeed survive, but will they become true 'suicide squads'?"
"When faced with an inevitable death..."
"Can they, as usual, dedicate themselves to everything without regard for their own lives?"
Makino questioned, "How do you know? If we slightly relax the entry requirements, these members won't be able to act as suicide squad members?"
"Hahaha! That's hilarious..."
Xiahou Ming's eyes were cold: "How would I know? This is the result of real data I obtained by torturing hundreds of thousands of prisoners. Perhaps if we relaxed the policies a little, one or two thousand people would indeed survive."
"But when it comes to actually carrying out a 'death mission' that concerns the very survival of Dawn, if even one person harbors a thought of retreat, the mission could be ruined by that one person."
"At that time..."
"Neither you nor I can bear this responsibility, you idiot!"
Makino's face was sour from all the scolding.
But as a deputy regimental commander, how could he tolerate being scolded?
So Makino stubbornly retorted, "But so many people died, and you don't care at all? They were indeed prisoners... but they were also living beings. You killed tens of thousands of people to pass the test, don't you feel any remorse?"
"Even those who survived by sheer luck, do you really think they'll be grateful to you two? They'd love to devour you alive and skin you alive. What's the difference between you and those demons?"
"..."
Their own deputy commander was bullied.
How could the commander of the regiment possibly tolerate this?
Before Xiahou Ming could say anything, Zhao Wu said coldly, "You're right. Those members wish they could skin us alive and eat our flesh, but so what? I, Zhao, don't care at all."
"As for the dead..."
"Heh, then that has even less to do with me. Those who fail the membership test are all useless. Isn't it good that they die because they waste air and rice? Why should I feel guilty? I think they didn't die fast enough."
“I know that many of the commanders here look down on us, thinking that we are cold-blooded animals without feelings, and that we are cruel and inhumane in torturing and killing prisoners. That doesn’t matter… Your opinions are nothing to me, Zhao.”
“But the [Death Legion] is in the hands of Zhao Wu and Xiahou. As long as the guild leader doesn’t remove us from our positions as guild leaders, then you people have no right to point fingers at us.”
Zhao Wu said.
He took a few slow steps.
His steps were very light, but the pressure made Makino break out in a cold sweat, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he was so frightened that he almost knelt down on the spot.
This is not because Makino lacks mental fortitude.
Rather, it was a difference of two levels in strength, and the feeling was like a biological instinct to fear a wild beast.
Not to mention a fierce god like Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu raised his index finger and poked his shoulder, his tone devoid of any emotion: "You little brat, Mu Ye, I can let bygones be bygones for the sake of Branch President Wu Yanfeng... but if you dare to bully my deputy leader again, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Zhao Wu, that's enough. We're all on the same side."
Wu Yanfeng frowned.
Although Makino was his deputy commander.
But those remarks weren't at his instruction, and he doesn't really agree with those views.
But they are family after all.
Moreover, as the current branch president in Linhai City, I still need to consider the reputation of my subordinates.
“I dare not disobey the branch president.”
Zhao Wu looked at Zhang Hao, who had remained silent, and said with a forced smile, "However, I feel it is necessary to expose to the president with reason and evidence that Vice Commander Mu Ye's remarks just now seemed to be questioning our [Death Squad]'s assessment system."
"But is he actually worried about those prisoners? I would like to ask everyone here, what was the status of those prisoners before they became official members? They were the enemies who had made things difficult for our Dawn Society."
"He's actually thinking about the enemy? Under the guise of some bullshit humanitarianism? I don't believe someone who's risen to the top can have such a stupid idea. I think it's necessary to ask the strategist to do some divination and lie detection."
Mu Ye's face darkened: "You suspect me of being a spy? Commander Zhao, don't slander others without evidence. We have all followed the chairman for a long time, and our loyalty is as clear as day. This is an insult to my character."
"Whether it's slander or not, a lie detector test will tell. If you're truly loyal... why resist? If you're really innocent, then Commander Zhao Wu and I will bow and apologize to you." Xiahou Ming shrugged.
"..."
This unexpected scene.
This changed the expression on everyone's face.
What started as petty squabbles over trivial matters has escalated to a point where loyalty to the Dawn Society is of paramount importance and irreplaceable within the organization.
Even...
Even conquering Qiongzhou Island is not as important as this matter.
Even if the test results are passed, the fact that the president has made this request proves that Makino is no longer being valued to some extent.
This is for someone who has risen to a high position in a large organization.
Isn't this a dangerous signal?
Will the chairman agree?
Right under everyone's noses...
Zhang Hao glanced around at everyone, his gaze finally settling on Mu Ye: "Then let's take the test, Mu Ye... you don't mind, do you?"
