Chapter 149 Captain Xue and Mu Zirui get on the bus
The top floor is the commander's quarters, and there are three of them.
That's right, when the tank reaches level five and can accommodate 101 people, it is indeed possible to add a deputy commander.
However, neither of them has any plans to add more staff for the time being, and they cannot find suitable talents for the time being.
The two of them decided to leave the house empty for now, and use Mu Zhong's room to convert it into a gravity training room and driver studio.
The two continued to live in the same house as before, and this time there was no need to even pretend to have separate rooms. They decided to live in the same bedroom and the same bed.
Mu Zhong took out a large, comfortable bed from the warehouse and placed it in the middle of the bedroom. He looked at Wei Huan expectantly and said, "Although I'm a little busy right now, I still hope we can complete this together."
Wei Huan nodded and took a corner of the bed sheet from Mu Zhong's hand. The two of them each held one side and spread the bed sheet flat, and finally put the pillow and bedding on it.
After everything was done, the two looked up at each other.
There are so many emotions and expectations in this look.
They have been married for almost four months now, and finally started living together today.
From now on, when we open our eyes, the first thing we see is each other.
Facing Wei Huan's revealing gaze, Mu Zhong's ears flushed as he looked away. "Ahem!" He cleared his throat and reminded, "Let's go down first. They've been waiting down there for a long time."
Wei Huan didn't answer and walked around to the end of the bed. Mu Zhong thought Wei Huan was going to leave, so he also walked around to his side. However, the next second, he was held on the back of the head and endured a kiss that was enough to ignite him.
Mu Zhong was almost suffocated by this overwhelming passion.
When he went downstairs again, Mu Zhong's lips were unusually red and swollen, and the left lower corner of his mouth was even broken. Fortunately, most of the people in the car were young people who didn't know much, and they didn't take it to heart when they saw it.
Only the uncomfortable Mu Zhong took the time to glance at Wei Huan.
This guy was so unscrupulous because he relied on his glasses to cover his eyes. This time he went a little too far and almost couldn't get down.
Wait until I move in next time... Mu Zhong blushed, his heart beat fast, and his mind went blank.
At this time, cousin Mu came forward.
While others were busy checking their own rooms, he was the only one who stayed at his post and continued working.
Apart from anything else, his hard-working and conscientious spirit deserves him a senior management position.
"Have all the drivers arrived?" Mu Zhong said calmly, maintaining a steady tone.
Cousin Mu said, "We're all here. We've made our position very clear. They want to wait until the assessment is over and ask for instructions before making a decision. Captain Mu Zirui and Captain Xue will lead their men directly onto the train..."
Just as I finished explaining this, I saw Li Xue running over from the square, arms wide open, shouting, "My dear brother, I'm finally getting in your car. I've been waiting like crazy for this day."
In the last ten steps, Li Xue even used the ghost step fighting skill, instantly moving to Mu Zhong's side and hugging him.
Wei Huan and Captain Xue, who couldn't catch up, immediately changed their expressions. Mu Zhong even stretched out his arms wide and didn't dare to hug him back.
Li Xue didn't feel uncomfortable at all holding someone in her arms. She had watched Mu Zhong grow up, and in her heart he was still the little boy wearing a red scarf.
She was so happy that she even grabbed Mu Zhong's back, which made Mu Zhong stiffen and dare not move.
Li Xue smiled and said, "You're a grown man now, but you're still too thin, like a piece of paper. Look at your brother Xue's physique, a man should be like that to be healthy."
Wei Huan went to see Captain Xue, whose arm could run horses, and he was indeed very majestic and masculine, but in his heart he still thought that Mu Zhong was good like this, holding him in his arms and kissing him, and pinching his waist with his palms, which made it a little difficult for him to control himself.
His thoughts were flying, returning to the moment when he was about to lose control. His long eyelashes trembled, as if teasing his heart. His heart was moved, but he barely pulled it back before his thoughts diverged, and he was glad that he still had a mask on his face.
"Captain Xue," Wei Huan quickly adjusted his voice, lowering it to a serious tone. "You and your teammates will join my car. I must make one thing clear up front: on my car, everything must be based on my opinion. You can make your own suggestions, but if I clearly deny them, you must accept them. This is my only requirement."
Captain Xue walked up to Wei Huan, saluted him properly, and said, "Major Wei, my crew and I are ready to serve as your crew. We will obey your orders and be absolutely loyal to you!"
Wei Huan nodded and called out, "Butler, invite Captain Xue and Li Xue... to get in the car."
"Alright, Captain. I've sent invitations to Captain Xue, Li Xue... a total of 12 crew members... The invitations were successful, adding 12 more people to the crew."
Meanwhile, Li Xue's expression changed the moment she joined the team, and she exclaimed, "I clearly feel the effect of the title. It's never been so powerful before."
Captain Xue also looked down at his palms, which he had repeatedly clenched and unclenched, and said, "It's amazing. This feeling of instantaneous strength is so clear."
The other crew members also expressed their amazement. After all, until now, no title had ever directly increased stats. This kind of improvement felt like something out of a game, but Challenge World was certain it was real, so it was hard to imagine how Challenge World could achieve this.
The ways of the gods are always mysterious.
After inviting Captain Xue, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong simultaneously looked at Mu Zirui, who was one step behind and standing side by side with the adopted daughter of the Mu family.
Compared to Captain Xue and others who joined as a matter of course, Mu Zirui made his choice in advance.
In the past, Mu Zirui was responsible for the recruitment and training of three districts in the second-level world, and in the third-level world, he would also get an extremely important job and have absolute power within a certain range.
As the old saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. When the Mu family was selecting someone to escort Wei Huan, they did not consider Mu Zirui at first. After all, Mu Zirui was the backbone of the younger generation trained by the family and would achieve great things in the future.
Later, Mu Zirui took the initiative to find the head of the family and asked for this position.
The Mu family patriarch hesitated. He reminded Mu Zirui, "It's not that the more Mu family members get on that car, the better. It's precisely because it's Mu Zhong's partner's car that we, the Mu family, must avoid suspicion. Mu Zhong and Mu Han are already in that car. If you go, you might suffer some injustice. I have some arrangements for you..."
Mu Zirui said directly: "I'll go."
He was extremely determined then, and he looked at Wei Huan with the same determination now. He said, "Mu Zirui and 11 crew members are applying to board the train."
His voice was loud and his eyes were firm.
There's nothing to hesitate about.
Even if he gave up his seemingly comfortable life, what would it matter? Who knew that this was not what he wanted to pursue?
He wanted to be at the forefront, he wanted to slay the Dark Beast, he wanted humanity to triumph, to take part in that epic journey. He also wanted to follow the most powerful leader, to explore the wider world and see its true beauty.
He doesn't want to be a frog in a well, he just wants to realize his ideal. He is not afraid even if he gets injured, bleeds or even dies in the process, so why should he be afraid of a mere "grievance".
"Mu Zirui, do you want to get in the car?"
"yes!"
As the words fell, a force surged into the body. Just as Captain Xue and the others had said, this force was too fierce. I could clearly feel the process of myself getting stronger. It was hard to imagine how I could challenge the world.
However, gaining power was not Mu Zirui's goal. He looked at Wei Huan with a firm and passionate gaze.
Only those who have seen Wei Huan fight with their own eyes will understand that they are just ordinary people with no special features, and will also realize that if they want to realize their ideals and ambitions, they can only be by the side of the strong.
Follow, serve, and work with a true leader, unwaveringly carry out his orders, overcome all obstacles along the way, and you will eventually live the life you want.
As two teams and 24 people joined the vehicle, looking at their ecstatic faces for various reasons, the other vehicle commanders were extremely envious.
Unfortunately, Wei Huan made it clear that the vehicle's capacity was limited and each legion could only accept one level four convoy. They could only wait for the assessment to be over and go back to make new plans.
I am a little envious of the Qinglong Legion. I believe that if it were the Qinglong Legion's chariots, even if they were three or four, Wei Huan would probably accept them.
After absorbing the 24 people brought by Captain Xue and Mu Zirui, and meeting the drivers of several other vehicles, he finally "digested" the changes brought about by the vehicle being upgraded to level five.
The rest of the time is spent on arranging vehicles and housing.
Captain Xue and Mu Zirui both lived in the ordinary management area. A total of 24 cars were separated and some were parked on the rooftop in a suspended manner, while the other vehicles were parked in the basement.
The rooftop is also called the [War Platform]. After completing the upgrade of the level 5 vehicle, there is a clear war position on it, which can increase the distance and damage of long-range attacks.
In addition, the fifth-level vehicle is directly equipped with attack weapons with the same lethality as the fifth-level sentry tower. It can be manually controlled or handed over to AI.
Among the 24 people, there was a Sequence 4 Divine Healer and a Sequence 3 Healer. Considering that most of the undead were charging into battle on Wei Huan's vehicle, the need for healers to replenish health during battle was rare, so these two healers served more as onboard military doctors.
There are 11 people in the Farmer Sequence and seven Soldier Kings. Captain Xue brought five of them and Mu Zirui brought two. Captain Xue himself is a high-level Soldier King who is about to break through to the fifth level.
There are 5 people in the Wise Sequence, all of whom are the four great mages of the sequence, and Mu Zirui himself is about to break through to the advanced mage.
There were two Gambler Sequencers, one in each car, both at Sequence Four Shadowless. One was Li Xue, and the other was the adopted daughter of the Mu family. This adopted daughter of the Mu family possessed considerable talent, lacking only the core materials to advance to the fifth level of Stacked Explosion. She wasn't Mu Zirui's original deputy captain, but rather the most talented young person in the family, specially assigned this time.
Finally, there are 4 places left, all of which are in the driver sequence.
There were originally only five people in Captain Xue's car. Before receiving the transfer order, two crew members were transferred for other tasks, so almost all the people in his car were newly assigned crew members.
Most of these crew members are from Qinglong City, and four of them are specially selected by Mu Zhong, who plans to set up a separate mecha team on the vehicle.
Now there are only four of them under Mu Zhong, but when the car reaches level six or level seven or even higher, they may become a real team on the car.
After that, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong also walked through the mecha warehouse, weapons warehouse, parking lot, underground cells, etc.
Of course, you have to have a thorough understanding of your own car. Even if it is under assessment now, Wei Huan must do what he should do.
We were busy like this and dawn came in the blink of an eye.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the darkness outside the window suddenly turned into a dazzling white.
The ground was covered with endless white snow, the weather was extreme and the breath turned into smoke, and the outdoor temperature dropped to minus 76 degrees.
The wind is stronger today than yesterday, and the weather will get worse in the future. These are the most common challenges in the world, and everyone has long been accustomed to them.
Liu Chengzhi got up at four o'clock to make breakfast for 34 people. Fortunately, Li Xue and Mu's adopted daughter, as well as Ding Qi, Lin Xu and Zhou Yong, came to help, so the food was ready on time.
But this is not a long-term solution. Although cooking does not seem to contribute as much as front-line combat, in fact no one can live without eating, especially the stronger the challenger, the bigger his appetite.
There are now 13 farmers on the bus, who are the ones who eat the most.
After breakfast, the army set out at dawn.
Everyone set off according to their work arrangements from last night.
A guard vehicle is a must. It is the leader vehicle's appearance and is also a configuration that the level 5 vehicle itself has.
During the assessment of the third-level highway, Mu Dehao also specially gave Wei Huan and his team a "bipolar device" that can increase the speed of the mother-and-child vehicle when rushing head-on.
Now at level five, the vehicle comes with two built-in escort slots. The escort vehicle, starting from the [War Platform], has its own bipolar device function and can be controlled through the main system for cruising and combat, allowing it to be controlled freely even at a distance of thousands of kilometers.
Li Xue and Mu's adopted daughter took two people with them and boarded the escort vehicle respectively.
That is, their former main vehicle, which performs manual operations when necessary.
Mu Zirui and Captain Xue stayed behind to complete their mission.
They had to follow Wei Huan for the first few days to familiarize themselves with everything in the car, especially Wei Huan's combat methods.
This is important.
This car is centered around Wei Huan. Only the people who get on the car are compatible with Wei Huan, and there is no possibility of Wei Huan compromising with anyone.
So if the person on the bus cannot find his place in the army of undead, he can only leave the front line and be transferred to logistics.
It’s not that logistics is bad, but for most challengers, they prefer to gain military merit more quickly through fighting, and they also believe that this is the most direct way to gain merit and get promoted.
Mu Zirui and Captain Xue’s job is to find suitable positions in the undead army for themselves and the people they bring with them.
In addition, these two people also need to be familiar with each other. One of them is melee combat and the other is long-range combat. In the future battlefield, they will also cooperate with each other, so it is important to understand each other's habits.
"Among the drivers we brought this time is a Sequence 4 senior technician. He can build a training room with a maximum gravity of 100 times on the car, as well as professional training grounds for various professions that do not exceed his sequence level. Captain Mu has taken people to build it, and I believe it will be put to use soon. If there is no war situation in the next few days, I will conduct some training, which will also make it easier to understand everyone's strength." Team Leader Xue said.
Mu Zirui nodded: "Then leave the long-range coordination to me."
After the two important new members' duties were tentatively decided, they left. Wei Huan then called Liu Chengzhi and said, "Even if the other three legions get on board, we still have plenty of empty seats. You must fill the area you are responsible for as soon as possible."
Liu Chengzhi scratched his head: "Boss, you want me to find a job now? This is during the assessment period. I can't just post a job advertisement, right?"
"A job posting? That's a good idea. We'll even hire for logistics support."
"ah?"
Liu Chengzhi was just talking about it, but unexpectedly it became a solution.
What was the boss thinking about hiring a cook for the car during the assessment period?
Liu Chengzhi had no choice but to post a recruitment advertisement in the chat room.
Liu Chengzhi: We are hiring for kitchen and logistics positions. Kitchen staff are required to have work experience, be hardworking, and follow orders.
It is bizarre that such a recruitment advertisement suddenly appeared in the chat where everyone was discussing the assessment of the highway and even had verbal battles between countries from time to time.
A bunch of angry trolls started cursing without even looking carefully.
Are you sick?
What the hell?
[Is this something sent by Satan to make people laugh? ]
[Hahaha, the worst who can come here are level three challengers. Do you know what kind of life a level three challenger can have on Blue Star? I'm already level three, and I'm still working as a chef. Am I crazy?]
But soon, someone reacted.
[Ryu Seong-ji? Is that the Ryu Seong-ji?]
[Ahhh! It's confirmed to be Liu Chengzhi. Oh my god, this can't be true? They really need a cook. I'm afraid the people who signed up are going to explode.]
[Are you cooking for Boss Wei? Really? Really?]
[What? Who? Who is Liu Chengzhi? Is he in the top 10,000 on the world's combat power rankings? Or is he a powerful figure from some small country?]
[Shh, don't say anything. The competition will be fierce.]
[Liu Chengzhi, the Liu Chengzhi in Wei Huan's car, what era is it now, there must be someone who doesn't know who Liu Chengzhi is, right?]
Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengzhi’s private chat exploded.
He had the same idea at first. He was already at Sequence Three, so who would be willing to be a cook for others? He was afraid that the applicants would regret it, so he turned on his [Strangers Can Talk] option.
The result was that his private channel was flooded with messages.
Most people are like, "Really? Wei Huanche needs a cook? Can I? What are the conditions?"
Some people also questioned, "Is this fake? Even if Wei Huanche was short of cooks, he wouldn't be hiring in the chat room. Wouldn't it be easy for the legion to just hire a few cooks? Don't try to deceive people with the same name."
Some people also worry, "How can we recruit openly? What if there's a spy on the bus? Are you responsible? Is this something you can decide?"
There are also people who signed up seriously. [I opened a restaurant before the end of the world and am good at cooking Sichuan cuisine.]
Others say, "I worked at a five-star restaurant."
I said, "I don't have any experience working in the kitchen, but I can help out. I'm very hardworking."
Liu Chengzhi was stunned by the private messages that flooded his screen.
No, these people are already level three challengers after all, don’t they have any higher aspirations?
Later I thought, I also climbed up the ladder by relying on the boss, and I feel at ease doing my job in the kitchen, so it is normal for others to want to rely on the boss as well.
Suddenly, Liu Chengzhi was worried.
Are the boss's legs thick? How many pendants can be hung on them? If there are too many pendants, will there be room for them?
Tsk! I wish I could be like Shuroma and have three heads and six arms.
Liu Chengzhi was worried that his position would be lost, but he also knew that he really couldn't handle the food for so many people by himself, so he contacted some people who had seriously reported their resumes and started chatting with them.
But before the candidate was decided, Mu Zhong came with the veterans.
The veteran is the senior technician, whose real name is Wang Bing. He is 42 years old this year. Before the end of the world, he was a lieutenant in the Daxia Missile Army.
After awakening the driver sequence, he did not look down on this sequence because of the so-called "sewer profession". He studied the driver sequence in depth and became the most powerful driver in the Qinglong Legion.
After Mu Zhong got the [Steel Factory], naturally such outstanding talents would be sent to Mu Zhong's side, and many additional devices were added to the car as soon as they got on.
He wants others to call him "veteran".
Mu Zhong said, "Recruiting kitchen staff? Boss Wei said that? Then you can look for someone from outside. But you also need to pay attention to the background check. The background check will take at least two days. You will be very busy these two days."
The veteran said, "Speaking of the kitchen, the hard work is still in preparing the ingredients, right? I can help the kitchen install robotic arms, which can at least solve 50% of the problems. I just don't know if Chef Liu would agree. After all, they say that food made by robots lacks soul..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Chengzhi grasped the old soldier's hand, tears in his eyes, "Thank you so much, I really need it."
In this way, the kitchen matter is not so urgent. After all, it is a big deal to get on the car, and you can't rush to try new things.
However, Mu Zhong took note of it in his heart, guessing that Wei Huan probably didn't want to recruit people from the legion anymore, so he arranged for Liu Chengzhi to recruit outside.
Therefore, in order to provide logistics support, we need to recruit some people from outside.
"Leave a few logistics positions for me." It was Xu Qingqiang who found Wei Huan and said this directly.
Xu Qingqiang rarely asked for help, so he followed the others' example and offered Wei Huan a cigarette. When Wei Huan refused to take it, he placed it on the operating table and said, "I've asked Liu Chengzhi. With the robotic arm, we can barely handle the meals during the assessment period. I'll have a few positions in the logistics department. I have some friends in the fourth-level world. Don't worry, I won't let them get on the bus with someone with a dirty background. If they do anything to offend you on the bus, I'll be the first to kill them."
Wei Huan took the rare opportunity to return to his driver's seat, but before he could experience the driving experience of the newly upgraded Level 5 car, he was stopped by Xu Qingqiang.
After listening to Xu Qingqiang's words in silence, Wei Huan nodded without hesitation.
He knew who Xu Qingqiang wanted to arrange on the bus: the children who lost their parents after the advent of the Challenge World and grew up in orphanages.
It is not easy for orphans who have no parents, no background and ordinary talents to survive in the challenging world. They rely on the help of people who have similar experiences.
This is how Qi Jialu treated Xu Qingqiang with special care, and the same applies to the quota that Xu Qingqiang begged for with a heavy heart.
He had no reason to refuse.
The convoy traveled for a day without any surprise attack from foreign rebels. On the road ahead, there was a large group of stray monsters, numbering nearly 6,000. They looked like polar bears, but walked upright, had thick fur, and lay in the snow with their snow-white bodies, making them difficult to spot.
Humans call this kind of life "snow bear". Taoism is not the main civilization in the fourth-level world.
In the afternoon, a ruin appeared right in front of Wei Huan's car, and the Legion's ruin development team immediately rushed over to develop it.
Wei Huan was a little curious, so he left an "eye" here and roughly understood the situation inside the ruins.
