Two weeks later.
Inside a building in the southern suburbs of Maoming City.
Low growls and sounds of fighting could be heard intermittently. This was a 26-story shopping mall, and the ones desperately fighting zombies inside were... the main forces of [Vanguard] and [Justice Legion].
On the fifteenth floor, zombies kept rushing in one after another.
The legion's warriors were all incredibly brave, and their teamwork was impeccable. Although there were many zombies in the building, they were still far fewer than the number of the legion's members. After all, these two legions were no longer what they used to be.
The total number of people is several hundred thousand.
The total number of zombies in this shopping mall is only around ten thousand. This place is only responsible for a looting point. The entire legion's main force is spread throughout the southern suburbs, looting any possible resource points.
There weren't many zombies on the fifteenth floor, only a little over three hundred.
The legion responsible for this building has nearly 500 members, consisting of 100 five-man squads, divided into 50 ten-man companies and 5 hundred-man battalions.
In order to unify instructions...
There is no infighting among the battalion commanders, and the battalion commanders are all known as "Crazy Yellow".
Pfft! Pfft!
The members wielded weapons and hacked and slashed at the zombies.
The zombies howled and screamed, but they couldn't harm them in the slightest.
The bravest among them, besides Huang Zhong, was not one of the other nine captains, but a member of a five-man squad.
This member is holding a giant one-handed axe.
It rampaged through the zombies, its immense power belonging to a top-tier level six awakened being. In the blink of an eye, it blasted dozens of zombies to death, and in no time... the zombies on the fifteenth floor were cleared away.
This person is none other than [someone else].
It was none other than the former deputy commander, Makino.
They saw former high-ranking officials silently killing zombies.
People couldn't help but feel a little sad, and they started discussing it amongst themselves.
"Tsk tsk... Who would have thought that the once-renowned regimental commander would become a lowly soldier?"
"I didn't expect it either, but it's such a pity for Captain Makino. He only made a small mistake, but he fell to the mortal realm all of a sudden. Our guild leader is really harsh."
"Tch, that's a minor mistake? Aren't all the prisoners in the dungeon enemies? Abuse of power... should be severely punished! I think the chairman did the right thing; without rules, there can be no order."
"Holy crap! You know the inside story? How exactly was he demoted?"
"I'm not really sure either. It seems like they were trying to get someone out of the dungeon. Anyway, I asked Ahui, and he said it was all his fault that Makino ended up like this. I guess the person they're trying to get out is related to Ahui. Anyway, Makino wasn't doing it for himself."
"For his brothers? Good heavens! That's really loyal and righteous. It's a pity... Ah Hui got Commander Makino killed."
"You've been screwed over? It can't be that bad, can it? Makino is at least a level six, he can easily get back to his original rank with a little effort, right?"
"hehe……"
"You're dreaming! Several months have passed, how many zombies has Mu Ye killed? He's been diligent and hardworking without ever throwing a tantrum, and he's still just a lowly soldier? At least give him a squad leader position, right?"
"In my opinion, the president is probably really angry. If Makino wants to turn things around... he needs to make some great contributions. I think it's going to be tough. The president might never be willing to promote him again."
"We can only say they brought it on themselves; it has little to do with us."
"Shh, stop talking... He's coming."
"..."
The murmurs were very low.
But it still reached Makino's ears.
But he remained calm throughout, walking into the group with Ahui.
Ah Hui asked cautiously, "Big brother, are you tired?"
"Not tired."
"That's good."
Ah Hui said sullenly, "So much time has passed, and the president still hasn't planned to promote Big Brother. Big Brother has been working quite hard lately... Why is he still turning a blind eye and ignoring it?"
"It's okay, take your time, there will always be a chance," Makino said calmly.
"But……"
Ah Hui said with a worried expression, "What if the guild leader forgets about you? After all, there are far too many Level 6 Awakened in our Dawn Guild now. More than half of the legion captains are Level 6, and there are at least 405 of them."
“There are quite a few capable and strong individuals, such as Captain Huang Zhong, who led the team this time. He is known as ‘Crazy Huang’ and ranks among the top captains. Everyone has always believed that he is the most likely to be promoted to deputy regimental commander.”
Makino sighed helplessly, "If there is someone more capable and powerful than me, then let him compete... If the president really forgets me, then I am no longer qualified to be by his side, and I will have no complaints."
"Big brother, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault, sob sob X﹏X"
Ah Hui suddenly became sad.
Unable to hold back her tears, they fell.
If it weren't for him, his elder brother would still be the deputy regimental commander. He felt so guilty that words couldn't describe it.
He wished he could commit suicide so that the chairman would reinstate his eldest brother.
But Ahui understood...
This is just wishful thinking; the president won't make an exception for this.
He cried for a moment...
Huang Zhong's stern voice came from ahead: "What are you crying for? We are on a mission. I don't care what your personal reasons are. Since you are on a mission... don't let your personal emotions get in the way."
"I'm sorry, Captain." Ahui stopped crying.
Makino hurriedly bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Captain, it will definitely not happen again next time. Please forgive Ahui's ignorance."
"It's alright, but this won't happen again."
Huang Zhong's tone softened slightly.
After all, he was a former deputy regimental commander, so we still have to give him some face.
As the battalion commander, no one wanted to be the deputy regimental commander.
after all……
This position represents more than just a symbol of power within the Dawn Society.
This further indicates that this person will truly catch the president's eye. Who wouldn't want to gain the president's favor? Especially after the president removed Makino from his position as vice-captain, everyone became even more eager.
after all……
The seven legions of the Dawn Society in the past.
Besides the seven full commanders—Ye Tianfan, Wu Yanfeng, Xu Mo, Zhao Wu, Yuwen Tuo, Miao Xiaoxiao, and Meng Wu—there are only eight deputy commanders: Wang Yan, Tang Jian, Mao Ce, Mu Ye, Ai Lin, Xiahou Ming, Xu Mengyan, and Sun Aotian.
The Guardian Legion does not have a vice commander.
The Vanguard Legion and the Justice Legion need to frequently go out on missions.
There were originally two deputy commanders for each of them, and the positions were already limited and the competition was fierce. There were also so many level six battalion commanders. There were really some people who could truly stand out from the crowd. Now that Makino has stepped down, there are vacancies. Who wouldn't want to give it a try?
Huang Zhong naturally wanted to become the deputy regimental commander as well.
But he's different from most people; he doesn't just want to occupy this position.
He also wanted to impress the chairman.
Huang Zhong's ambition surged: "Those mediocre people think that the deputy commander can only be chosen from among the level six? Heh... They're so wrong. As long as I reach level seven and overpower everyone else, then this deputy commander position will be mine!"
