"Captain Zhang, you are kidding. How can I be worthy of such a big responsibility?" Li Xue declined quickly. She has always been a person who is afraid of trouble. She felt a headache just thinking about being the leader.

"Why can't I be worthy? Captain Li, don't be modest. In terms of strength, you are one of the best in the whole province of H. In terms of character, I and everyone else can trust you. Therefore, it is more appropriate for you to be the leader." Zhang Long said sincerely.

"No. Even if I am really like what Captain Zhang said, I am not worthy of this big responsibility. Leading a base is not just about personal strength and character. Besides, Captain Zhang is not worse than me in strength and character. You are more suitable to be the leader than me." Li Xue declined.

"No, Captain Li, this leader must be you."

"Captain Zhang..."

"Oh, are you two done yet? It's no big deal. Let me make the decision. You two draw lots. Whoever draws the lot gets it. Anyway, I think it's up to you two to be the leader." The old general said impatiently.

Everyone: Old general, this is about deciding the leader of a base, how come it becomes an irrelevant matter when it comes to you? Drawing lots! Do you have to be so casual? !

The old general saw everyone's speechless look, how could he not know what they were thinking, and glared at them: "What? Do you have a better way?"

The others looked at each other and shook their heads.

"That's it, it's decided. Tomorrow morning, we will hold a general meeting and tell everyone about the base building. In front of everyone, the two of them will draw lots, and whoever draws the lot will get it. No excuses! Also, you all go back and think about what to call the new base. That's it, I'm going back to rest." The old general said loudly, then stood up and walked towards the door, saying as he walked: "Young people nowadays are really irresponsible. It's such a small matter, but they are so procrastinating."

Everyone: ...

The next morning, everyone in the villa area gathered outside the old general's villa with excitement and expectation. They had heard about the base building here last night. They were so excited to build a base of their own that they couldn't sleep.

Not long after, the old general came out, followed by the general's wife and his son. Unlike the others, they did not show any excitement on their faces. In their opinion, no one except the old general was suitable to be the leader of the new base. They naturally mentioned this to the old general last night, but they did not expect the old general to scold them.

The old general really did not want to pay attention to them. These two people, they have no ability at all, but they still want to be superior to others every day and let everyone give in to them. They are really hopeless! But the old general was helpless. One of them was his wife who had been with him for most of his life, and the other was his own son. He had no other choice but to scold them in anger.

The old general cleared his throat and said to the more than 200 people in front of the door: "Everyone should know it! We are going to build a base of our own in this city Y!"

"Yes!" Everyone answered excitedly.

"Before building the base, we must first select a leader to lead everyone to build the base. I am old and don't have that much energy to work hard. So, the candidates are decided on Captain Li and Captain Zhang, but they both seem to be not very interested in this leader, so I decided to let them draw lots. Whoever draws the lot will win." The old general put his hands on his waist and said with full energy.

Then, he waved his hand, and Xiao Tao immediately stepped forward and took a transparent wide-mouthed cup and two unfolded white papers.

The old general picked up two pieces of white paper and drew a circle on one of the papers with a pen in front of everyone. Then he folded the two pieces of paper into squares of the same size and put them into the cup. "Xiao Tao, shake it hard."

Xiao Tao picked up the cup and shook it hard. The two paper balls couldn't stop shaking.

"Come over and grab them. Whoever grabs the one with the circle will be the leader." The old general said to Li Xue and Zhang Long.

The two of them walked up to the old general with their heads held high, thinking that this method was too risky.

Xiao Tao stopped shaking and pushed the cup towards the two of them.

Li Xue and Zhang Long looked at each other.

Zhang Long swallowed and said, "Well, ladies first."

Li Xue rolled her eyes. Are you so scared? Then he stretched out his hand helplessly and picked up a ball of paper from the cup.

Zhang Long then reached out and took out the remaining ball of paper.

"Open it!" the old general urged.

The two looked at each other again and slowly unfolded the balls of paper in their hands.

Zhang Long smiled and said, "Captain Li, no, Base Captain Li, please take care of me in the future!" Then Zhang Long raised the clean white paper in his hand and shook it at everyone. Li

Xue looked at the circled paper in her hand and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was true that she wanted to build a base, but what she thought was that she could just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. But now, she has become the leader of this base, so how can she live a peaceful life in the future! She knows her own ability. With her limited ability, how can she manage a base?

"Okay, the base commander is Li Yatou. From now on, everyone must obey the base commander's orders and build the base." The old general said happily.

"Applause!" Zhang Long said with a big laugh, and clapped his hands.

The others also clapped their hands, hoping that everyone in the team would be so excited that their hands would turn red.

While clapping his hands, Zhang Hu looked at his brother who was laughing like a big fool, and shook his head helplessly. In fact, he wanted his brother to be the base commander. Back in the H base, didn't his brother want to be the leader of the superpower alliance? Why does he have to be so "unambitious" now?

Zhang Long probably felt his brother's resentment, turned around and looked at him, and then patted him on the shoulder. Of course he knew what his brother was thinking. If it was someone else who drew lots with him today, he would definitely become the leader of this base without hesitation. But the opponent was Li Xue, and he would rather be someone who assisted Li Xue. His brother didn't know Li Xue's strength, but he did. The fact that Li Xue defeated him so easily at the beginning was enough to show how strong she was.

He firmly believed that Li Xue was not as simple as she seemed. He couldn't explain why he had such an idea, but he believed it so firmly.
