Chapter 566 Strategy
Unfortunately, Leng Ning and the others couldn't hear all this. Even if they heard it, they would probably just find it funny.
Soon, Leng Ning and his group arrived at the front of the position.
Looking at the tide of zombies that was less than twenty meters away from them, a hint of excitement flashed in Leng Ning's eyes.
At the same time, Xiaoman and Xiaohuai were jumping around excitedly in her sea of consciousness.
"Mom, let's find something delicious together!" Xiaoman shook the leaves excitedly.
"Squeak-squeak--" The little locust tree also shook its branches, and even seemed more impatient.
"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities later." Leng Ning smiled and touched the two little ones.
Then he came back to his senses and looked at the soldiers behind him, then called Zhou Tao, the temporary captain of Yuan Xing's team, and the two team leaders he designated to the side.
"The people from the first branch and the newcomers will stay behind first. Zhou Tao and I will lead the people out to kill the first wave. Half an hour later, Zhou Tao, you will lead the people back to defend and replace them." Leng Ning said in a deep voice.
Everyone had different expressions.
"Yes!" Zhou Tao responded excitedly first.
"After you return to defense, if Yuan Xing comes back, let him lead you to kill the second wave." Leng Ning then turned his gaze to the temporary captain of Yuan Xing's team.
"Yes!" The temporary captain's face lit up instantly.
"What if Yuan Xing doesn't come back?" Zhou Tao asked Leng Ning with a smile. He was only given half an hour, how could that be enough?
The temporary captain's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Leng Ning with a little nervousness.
Their leader took half of his brothers to cut off the flow of zombies, but it is not known whether it was successful or not.
If they really couldn't arrive in half an hour, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage by splitting the rudder?
"If he doesn't come back, you take the brothers up. The time is fifteen minutes." Leng Ning said directly.
"Why is it only fifteen minutes?" The temporary captain felt aggrieved.
"What's wrong with fifteen minutes? Do you really think the zombie tide is easy to deal with? There are only twenty-five people, and we might be swallowed if we are not careful. If something really happens to you, the hall master will be heartbroken!" Zhou Tao shouted at the temporary captain.
The temporary captain was angry, but couldn't find any words to refute Zhou Tao.
Normally, Captain Zhou likes to trick their leader, but the leader is smart and never lets him succeed.
But now that the helmsman is not here, how can an honest man like him be his match?
"I - we will not be swallowed by the zombie tide!" The temporary captain thought about it and couldn't find any words to refute Zhou Tao, so he just said this.
The helmsman handed the team over to him, so he had to be responsible for the brothers and fight for the rights and interests they deserved for their first branch. Otherwise, when the helmsman came back, how could he face him?
"Hey, you dare to talk back to me?" Zhou Tao immediately said sarcastically, but his expression when he looked at the temporary captain was smiling, and it was obvious that he was not really angry.
However, the temporary captain was so nervous at the moment that he didn't realize that Zhou Tao was joking. He felt even more aggrieved in an instant.
"Alright! I told you before, be polite when you speak. What's with the 'I' or 'I'? He's probably older than you!" Leng Ning scolded Zhou Tao.
Those who know are fine, just think he is just casual. What about those who don't know?
After hearing this, the temporary captain finally felt relieved and immediately looked at Leng Ning with a touched expression.
Everyone had been saying that the hall master favored Captain Zhou before, but now it seems that is not entirely true.
"Oh." Zhou Tao responded with a smile.
"I won't bother with you, kid." Then he said to the temporary captain.
Seeing that the temporary captain showed fear again, Leng Ning rolled his eyes at Zhou Tao again.
"If Yuan Xing fails to get back in time, I will give you twenty minutes. The prerequisite is that you must retreat in time if you can't hold on." Leng Ning looked at the temporary captain.
"Yes! Thank you, Master!" The temporary captain immediately broke into a big smile. His admiration and affection for Leng Ning soared to the peak.
"You're lucky!" Zhou Tao glanced at the temporary captain and muttered. He didn't say much about Leng Ning's decision.
Humph, just consider it as compensation for scaring him just now.
Thus, this minor dispute was temporarily resolved.
"That's it for now. You take turns. When the zombie tide is reduced, follow my instructions and go into battle." Leng Ning continued.
"Yes!" Zhou Tao and the temporary captain responded immediately.
Realizing that two voices were missing, Leng Ning noticed that the two team leaders she appointed were standing aside, hesitant to speak, with very aggrieved looks on their faces.
"Master - we want to fight too!" The tall and thin captain bravely said to Leng Ning.
"Yes, Master, you said before you brought us here that we would also join the battle!" the short and fat deputy captain followed.
"The first and second rudders are already up, why can we - why can we only stay within the defense line?" The tall and thin captain looked at Leng Ning aggrievedly.
That's how Captain Yuan's people asked the hall master for five more minutes of fighting time just now, and they can do the same.
Zhou Tao looked at Leng Ning with a smile, waiting to see how she would solve it.
These two people are quite interesting. They are very good at learning and applying what they have learned.
If these two really succeed, should he learn from them? He might be able to get more resources from the hall master in the future. Hehe...
Leng Ning glanced at Zhou Tao unhappily and warned him with his eyes: Don't have any evil intentions.
Zhou Tao smiled, waved his hand, and walked away.
Well, it’s okay if he doesn’t get involved.
After seeing Zhou Tao leave, Leng Ning looked at the two captains she had chosen, tall and thin, short and fat.
"I've already said it just now. Once the zombie tide is reduced, everyone will go together." So there is no such thing as not letting you go to the battlefield.
The two captains looked at each other, their eyes still filled with grievance.
"Before you become weak, be prepared to give opportunities to the strong. If you want to be at the front of the team in the future, seize the time to make yourself stronger." Leng Ning said in a deep voice. His attitude was no longer as gentle as before.
These words successfully shut the two of them up. At the same time, they also stimulated them.
"Got it, Hall Master! We will be admitted to the elite branch!" The tall and thin captain stood up straight and saluted respectfully to Leng Ning.
The short and fat captain followed suit.
Leng Ning nodded.
"Hold the line." After saying this, he walked forward.
He waved to Zhou Tao when he left.
Zhou Tao's face lit up with joy, "Let's go!" and then he shouted to the soldiers behind him.
Then Leng Ning's troops successfully took over the fortress with the assistance of Yan Yu.
Afterwards, according to Leng Ning's arrangement, Zhou Tao and his men followed her to the battlefield first, while the rest of the people defended in the fortress point.
Following Leng Ning's order, the machine gunners took their positions and began to fire at the zombies outside the fortress, hoping to force open the passage so that their people would have room to enter.
As bullets continued to fly, many zombies fell down one after another. But immediately, the zombies behind them climbed up again, stepping on the bodies of the fallen zombies.
The zombies continued to rush towards the defense line like a black tide, and even climbed up.
