When Zhang Jun completely takes over the Shuguang Base, he will be promoted from soldier captain to deputy patrol captain for his contribution in opening the city gate, and his living conditions will double.
However, by the time daybreak came, not even a single human figure was seen in the wilderness.
Chen Yang simply closed his eyes and took a rest for a while.
With his chances of promotion hanging in the balance, his subordinates began to feel increasingly dissatisfied and resentful of him. In the past, he would have slapped and severely punished anyone who gossiped about him.
But today he was a little unsure. Although his cousin liked to make big promises, he would not lie to him on matters of principle. Zhang Jun had not shown up yet, so perhaps something big had happened.
The soldiers who can stand guard at the gate are all backed by people with special abilities. He can become the captain of the soldiers thanks to his distant cousin, while the other three do not have relatives with special abilities, but are bound by the interests of the city gate with a 19% share of supplies.
Relationships bound by interests are not necessarily weak.
Chen Yang took this into consideration and was also worried that something might happen to his cousin and he would lose his backing. This time, he rarely got angry and chose to keep the peace.
The soldier squatting on the ground glared at the captain's back unhappily, sneered in his heart, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
What a bully! The reason he held back from getting angry was that he didn't believe Zhang Jun hadn't made backup plans at the base. Even if something really happened to them, there would definitely be other people at the base to pick them up.
Otherwise, with his temper, he would have quarreled with Chen Yang long ago. Now he is still waiting here, just to confirm whether his background is still useful.
The four of them didn't sleep all night. They found something to lean on, closed their eyes one after another, and planned to have a light sleep.
The pebbles on the ground rolled and gurgled. Chen Yang, who heard the noise in the distance, suddenly opened his eyes. Then his eyes widened and he began to babble incoherently:
"Damn, damn, damn... How could this be? It's impossible."
The soldier who was almost asleep was disturbed and looked in the direction of the captain's finger with dissatisfaction. He was also stunned.
There haven't been any zombies outside the Dawn Base for more than half a month. What else could be the ones trembling towards them if not zombies?
"Fuck, everyone, come in quickly, there are three zombies heading this way."
After saying that, he quickly packed up the things outside the city gate and fled inside.
The four of them usually just talk big and have never actually fought zombies.
Initially, the requirement for the guards at the Dawn Base was that they had to have experience in killing zombies. Later, for some reason, no more zombies appeared near the Dawn Base. It was rumored that this was Zhang Jun's credit because he managed the base well.
The requirements for being a gatekeeper are no longer strict, as long as the relationships are in place.
The zombies were getting closer and closer to the city gate. Even if the tall soldiers put their courage together, it was still not as big as a fist.
The four men trembled in fear, and no one dared to go out with weapons to fight.
"Captain, why are the ones who should be here not here, and three of them who shouldn't be here are here all at once?"
Chen Yang didn’t know either, his uncle didn’t tell him.
He had actually heard about the reason why there were no zombies outside the Dawn Base before. It seemed that it was because Zhang Jun had hooked up with a big boss, and with "his" extra supernatural powers, the Dawn Base became much safer.
It was precisely based on this outstanding contribution that Zhang Jun achieved an absolute crushing victory in the game with Chai Yisan for base management rights.
The Dawn Base is a refuge for humans. By spending a crystal core, you can ensure that passing zombies will ignore the base for two hours.
The continuous supply of crystal cores can ensure the absolute safety of the Dawn Base.
However, Zhang Jun and Chai Yisan broke up, and since zombies had not been seen outside the base for a long time, the four soldiers, who were huddling their heads for warmth, were unsure whether zombies would come in.
They quickly closed the city gate, walked up the stairs on the left, looked down from above, and observed the direction of the zombies.
"Huh... Great, the zombies are taking a detour."
Several people shouted happily, but their faces froze after a moment. The zombies were clearly heading towards the base, but when they reached an area, they suddenly turned around, as if something was protecting this place.
Could it be...
They all guessed the only possibility. Even if the rumor spread in the Dawn Base that Zhang Jun had stopped the zombies from invading, that person still insisted on spending crystal cores to protect this place.
Otherwise, the zombies, who had obviously noticed the four of them, would not easily change direction.
"The dumb base commander is quite stupid. Zhang Jun has monopolized his funding chain, so he has no way of saving too many crystal cores. Yet, he insists on spending twelve crystal cores every day. He's wasted so many days, but he finally used them today."
The soldiers felt mixed emotions and for the first time, they began to feel guilty towards Chai Yisan. They often teased the mute on a daily basis.
No one can accept that a mute disabled person can become the base commander. Why did such great luck in the apocalypse happen to him? Why did so many normal people not have the chance, but it was snatched away by a mute?
And the mute once said that it was not he who chose the base, but the base that chose him.
What the soldiers didn't know was that the Dawn Base would indeed soon change hands, and that person was not Zhang Jun.
The four soldiers found that the base's defense mechanism was still there, so they went down the stairs again, reopened the city gate, and moved their guard and sleeping areas from outside to inside the city gate.
The silence didn't last long before new noises were heard.
This time it was the sound of a moving car.
"Brother Chen! That's your cousin's car, right? I'd like to congratulate you in advance on your promotion to deputy patrol captain. When you become successful, don't forget us."
The soldier, who had been speaking in a tone that was openly and covertly against Chen Yang, ran behind him in a flattering manner and enthusiastically helped Chen Yang massage, with a smile that was full of flattery and ripples.
The other two soldiers also changed their attitudes. Some knocked his legs, some pounded his shoulders, as if Chen Yang was already a big shot.
Chen Yang was very pleased with the goodwill shown by the three younger brothers. Thinking of the "humiliation" he suffered in the morning, Chen Yang still felt a little uncomfortable and snorted coldly.
I warned the three of them not to be too narrow-minded, to look forward in everything, and that following the right people is the most important thing.
"Yes, yes, you are right. We will listen to you from now on. If you say east, we will never go west." The three soldiers hurriedly agreed with Chen Yang's teachings, nodding and bowing, doing all the necessary actions.
A life of supreme power was right before his eyes. When Chen Yang thought about being able to go to the streets and collect protection fees from vendors in the future and take whatever he liked, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, revealing his black teeth and his eyebrows dancing excitedly on his forehead.
He waved his hand and dispersed the three younger brothers.
"You guys should leave first. I'm going to go see my cousin and congratulate him. After all, Base Commander Zhang Jun promised him that he would be promoted to second-in-command in the future."
Thank you for the reward from baby [Furenjiu]~
