"Commander Yan, are we going to Gongzhou to compete with Zhao Xian for territory?"
Outside Gongzhou, several fishing boats were floating on the flooded city. On the largest of the boats, a sturdy man in military uniform stood on the deck, with his deputy beside him.
They are from the Yuzhou Military Region and formed the third base in the wasteland before.
Yan Wei heard the question asked by his deputy and glanced at him: "Seize the territory? Are you crazy or am I crazy? Why do you want to compete with Zhao Xian?"
The deputy said, "Sir, you are a senior person and have more experience than Zhao Xian."
Yan Wei smiled and pointed to his shoulder badge: "Look at how many bars there are here?"
On the blue military uniform, there are golden epaulettes on both shoulders, with horizontal lines and stars indicating military rank.
Deputy: “One.”
Yan Wei: "Zhao Xian has two rules here. In our industry, there is indeed a rule of seniority based on age, but Zhao Xian is an exception. He is awesome, you know that, right?"
He is a captain and Zhao Xian is a colonel.
They both have three stars, but Zhao Xian has one more bar than him. He is at a higher level.
When Yan Wei first met Zhao Xian, he was already a first-class sergeant, and they had met before. Later, Zhao Xian joined Shanbao, and they had once carried out an anti-terrorism mission together and had cooperated. Zhao Xian was smart and could fight, so he was convinced by Zhao Xian.
There are age requirements for military rank promotion. Zhao Xian is young, but he is a young soldier who joined the army early, has sufficient qualifications, and has many military achievements. At such a young age, he is already a colonel.
If it were a normal period now, when he reached Yan Wei's age, he would be promoted to major general.
Unfortunately, order is now completely destroyed. Everyone is in charge of themselves and there is no normal promotion system.
Yan Wei said: "We have already passed the Third Base, so we can just merge in. We should listen to Zhao Xian. He is capable and will not let us starve to death."
The deputy was stunned: "Huh?"
Yan Wei laughed and said, "Otherwise? Do you think I traveled all the way to Gongzhou just to compete with Zhao Xian for territory? If I really wanted to compete for territory, I would go to the neighboring Qing Province and compete with the librarian of the fifth base. That woman, isn't it easy to compete for it?"
The deputy said: "This... I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to adapt. Everyone is used to your leadership, sir."
"Tsk." Yan Wei sneered, "Don't I know those bastards under my command? They are restrained if they don't praise Zhao Xian to the sky. Zhao Xian is also a military master, they are probably impatient."
In the military competition that year, Zhao Xian won the title of excellent sniper, which was the final champion among all snipers. Each branch of the military would have such a champion, who was privately called the "King of Soldiers."
Yan Wei patted his deputy on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you will know when you meet Zhao Xian. He is a capable man. I guarantee you will be convinced!"
He ordered: "Tell the signalman to start contacting the first base. We should be there soon."
"Yes, Captain!"
·
"Xingtang, don't worry. I heard on the radio that there is news that the Third Base has arrived. When the Third Base competes with the First Base, Zhao Xian won't be able to do whatever he wants."
Huo Antu comforted Shen Xingtang in front of him.
"I was too anxious," Shen Xingtang sighed, "I just saw Zhao Xian go to that woman's house again today, and he brought all the people from the Mountain Leopard Brigade with him, just to escort that woman home."
"He really favors that woman too much."
She looked at Huo Antu and said carefully, "How about you, Brother Antu, lower your request. Five hundred liters of blue oil is too much. Zhao Xian may not agree. He will definitely give it to that woman."
Huo Antu's face turned cold: "I can choose not to cooperate with him."
Shen Xingtang: "But, Brother An Tu, doesn't your research institute need blue oil? Many devices need energy to start, and food and drinks also need to be supplied. But I have food and drinks here, I can prepare some for you."
Huo Antu's expression eased: "You don't have to worry. The third base is here too. The lord is from the military district and is also a good partner. Not every soldier is as unreliable as Zhao Xian."
Shen Xingtang also smiled at him and nodded: "Okay, I hope the Lord of the Third Base is a reliable person."
Shen Xingtang was really full of hope. She asked the system: "The Lord of the Third Base is also an important figure in this world, right? Can I collect his favorability?"
System: [Yes, host.]
Shen Xingtang: "They are both soldiers, so he should be similar to Zhao Xian? Can he also be my male lead?"
System: [Host, he is 48 years old. The age difference is too big, not suitable. ]
Shen Xingtang felt a little regretful: "Then we can only treat him as a big brother or elder."
·
Zhao Xian arrived at the Keyan Mountain again and came to his residence on the mountain.
Huo Antu couldn't bring out his entire research institute, but their luggage was not simple.
A complete prefabricated house, this kind of house is very convenient to assemble and disassemble. The last time I went in, I saw a lot of equipment. It was not easy to move everything here.
"Lord Zhao, our dean is doing research and has no time to entertain guests. Please go back."
At the door of the board room, Assistant Kong, the staff member who came with Huo Antu, rejected Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian: "Are you Dean Huo's assistant?"
Assistant Kong nodded repeatedly, a little embarrassed: "Yes, yes."
Zhao Xian: "Your dean is not seeing anyone?"
Assistant Kong said stubbornly: "The dean is doing research and is a bit busy. He can't spare the time."
No, the dean doesn't have enough energy now. The resources on the way here are almost exhausted. The machines can't be turned on. What research can he do? He just doesn't want to see Zhao Xian. But God, he doesn't know how his dean mustered the courage to refuse Lord Zhao!
Now he was facing Zhao Xian alone, feeling extremely oppressive. He lowered his head and dared not look Zhao Xian in the eye.
Under Zhao Xian's gaze, he felt a sense of intimidation that forced him to tell the truth. In just a few minutes, in such cold weather, sweat began to appear on his forehead.
"Tell Professor Huo that the matter of blue oil still needs to be discussed. Ask him to find time to come to the First Base to see me."
"Yes, yes." Assistant Kong nodded quickly and replied, "I will tell the dean."
Zhao Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at the mobile house in silence. Just then, Assistant Kong was sweating nervously and almost buried his head in fear, and then he turned around and called his subordinates: "Go down the mountain."
Zhao Xian led his men down the mountain. Ren Wangwang looked unhappy and said angrily, "Captain, that dean is so arrogant and is avoiding you."
Zhao Xian's expression was calm, but his eyes were sharp and cold.
When his survival is not threatened, he is willing to respect experts, scholars and scientists. Once the situation becomes serious, he will naturally take tougher measures. Everything is based on survival, and personal honor and disgrace and so-called respect are only based on the premise that survival is not threatened.
Zhao Xian: "Where is Yan Wei?"
Ren Wangwang: "The signalman said they are maintaining contact and will dock tomorrow."
Zhao Xian: "Investigate the situation of mutant creatures at the landing location, and go pick them up together tomorrow."
Ren Wangwang: “Yes.”
