Although he joined along with Wu Yanfeng, his abilities were actually not suitable.
Mao Ce was completely baffled as to why the chairman had chosen him to take on this role.
Just because of Xu Mo's previous reckless behavior?
Surely not?
Mao Ce forced a smile and said, "President, I don't think my abilities are quite up to par."
"You're the one. I trust my judgment."
"Alright, Chairman Xie."
The president's tone was very firm.
There was no way he could refuse, and no one else had expected it.
The position of the third battalion commander actually fell to the inconspicuous Mao Ce?
Everyone looked at Xu Mo with pity in their eyes.
As expected.
Whether before or after the apocalypse, you must not contradict your superiors.
Little did he know that this wasn't Zhang Hao targeting him, but rather that the role of the captain was extremely important.
Xu Mo's behavior last time was too saintly.
Don't you understand the principle that if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze?
Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance that the enemy poses a threat, we must nip it in the bud.
If he's still so saintly, he doesn't care about killing himself, but if he implicates the entire brigade of twenty Awakened Ones, who will take responsibility?
He needs to prove himself, that he is no longer the person he once was.
If he can't prove it, Zhang Hao will never give him the power.
"Alright, the organization is on the right track. Ordinary members are killing zombies and collecting crystal cores, while we have more important tasks to do. You don't need to know the specifics, but I need a few people to accompany me."
Zhang Hao continued, "Hu Xiaonan, Meng Wu, Mo Yu, Wu Yanfeng and I will set off at dawn tomorrow. The rest of you will stay at the base to manage the members. When I am not here, you will all be under Fang Ping's command, including the captain."
"..."
Others didn't quite understand.
Only Fang Ping and Hu Xiaonan knew that the chairman had gone to stockpile goods again.
But this time, Fang Ping, Xu Mo, and Xu Mengyan didn't bring any of them, but instead brought two newcomers?
What's going on?
And it's this Meng Wu again?
Fang Ping felt a pang of jealousy. Had he really fallen out of favor?
After giving his instructions, Fang Ping stayed behind.
"What? Are you jealous?" Zhang Hao teased.
"President, what's so great about that kid Meng Wu? Why didn't you take me with you this time? None of these people are Level 3 Awakeners. If we really encounter danger, there will be no one to share your burdens," Fang Ping said bluntly.
“Xiao Wu is not bad, but I didn’t mean to leave you out. The organization has just gotten on track, but the members have only just joined. Who can guarantee their loyalty? Although Wu Yanfeng has changed a lot, it’s hard to say how much he belongs to the organization.”
"Hu Xiaonan is just a child, who can she trust? Da Pang and Er Pang are decent people, but their personalities are too weak to shoulder any great responsibility. What if something happens to the base? Xiao Fang, you are the only person I trust the most, and only you have the ability to hold the rear for me. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this...
Fang Ping was stunned, tears streaming down his face.
She was crying and snotting, and almost smeared it all over Zhang Hao's face.
Zhang Hao patiently said, "Although Hu Xiaonan also knows my secret, it's just a guess. Besides you and Raven, who else in the entire Dawn Society has seen it with their own eyes? Isn't that enough proof?"
"President, please stop talking!"
"I understand! The organization can't do without me, and I will definitely help you protect the supermarket!"
Fang Ping spoke with unwavering conviction and a determined look in his eyes.
He turned and left, his back view seeming even more majestic.
Zhang Hao shook his head and chuckled, then sighed.
This time, he set his sights on a grain supplier on South Street.
It's not as big as the one in Hailing, but it's still decent. It's about 18 kilometers away from the supermarket.
It's not too far, but that supplier faces the city center, which means the zombie density will definitely be higher than here.
Unfortunately, there are many people who can be used, but very few who can be trusted.
Fortunately, the distance isn't far this time, so bringing a few people should be enough.
First floor of the supermarket.
The Xu siblings whispered to each other.
"Brother, this third captain position should have been yours," Xu Mengyan whispered.
"I know."
Are you angry?
"A little, but mostly I'm angry at myself."
"Why?"
"I'm angry at myself for being so foolish back then, sigh..."
"There will be other opportunities in the future. The president isn't a petty person. As long as you prove yourself, that's enough," Xu Mengyan comforted her.
"I know, I'm waiting."
The brother and sister were somewhat helpless.
Although he wasn't chosen as the third captain, they didn't complain about the chairman at all.
They knew exactly where the problem lay.
But to prove yourself, you need an opportunity, right?
Does killing someone on the street prove you're not a saint?
This is unreasonable.
Mao Ce walked over and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Xu, I didn't mean to steal the captain's position."
"It's alright. Since you've been appointed as the president, just do your job well."
"I will."
Mao Ce nodded emphatically.
Although he's not very capable, isn't ability meant to be improved?
In the early days of the apocalypse, so many ordinary people have transformed. Now that the captain is in his hands, he can't lose him.
After absorbing the crystal nucleus.
The three captains led their squads out into the streets to begin killing zombies.
It wasn't nighttime, so there were very few zombies on the streets. We only encountered three or five zombies here and there, so there was no need to worry about the group getting too scattered.
In less than half an hour, eight streets near the supermarket were cleaned up.
Just then...
Two dirty figures emerged from the street corner.
A middle-aged couple in their forties rushed towards them.
Xu Mo frowned and shouted, "Halt! Who are you? What is your purpose?"
"We have no purpose. My wife and I haven't eaten for three days. Could you please give us some food?" the middle-aged man pleaded.
"Give me food? Trade me crystal cores."
"We're just ordinary people, where would we get crystal cores?"
"Oh, then you should find someone else. We Dawn Society's food isn't going to be given away for free," Xu Mo refused directly.
The middle-aged woman immediately became displeased: "No, there are so many of you! You must have plenty of supplies. What's wrong with giving us some food? Why won't you help us? Don't you have any sense of public morality?"
"Public morality? You're still talking about this in the apocalypse?" Xu Mo laughed.
Why can't I talk about it?
The middle-aged woman said viciously, "This apocalypse won't end because of people like you. You could help the weak, but you stand by and do nothing. You heartless bunch, I wish you all go to hell!"
