Chapter 67 I Don’t Want to Be a Battalion Commander

"Are you really going to do this?" Qi Xiaoyao's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of disbelief. However, he responded with only one simple and firm word: "Yes."

Yi Yuzhi's eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at the other person without wavering. Faced with such a resolute attitude, Qi Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

He turned slowly and walked towards the safe hidden in the corner. As the door of the safe opened with a slight friction sound, a chill ran down his face.

Inside the cabinet was a heart tightly wrapped in ice, emitting a frightening cold light. Qi Xiaoyao carefully took it out and handed it to Yi Yuzhi. Yi Yuzhi stretched out his hands and took the cold heart, as if he was holding an invaluable yet dangerous treasure.

Qi Xiaoyao took a deep breath and concentrated his mind to remove the layer of ice covering the surface of his heart. In an instant, cold air filled the air and the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop a few degrees.

Yi Yuzhi lowered his head and stared at the heart in the palm of his hand with a complicated expression. He hesitated for a moment, but soon opened his mouth and bit it without hesitation.

At the same time, the lights in the camp, which had been plunged into darkness, suddenly flickered, followed by a steady sound of electric current.

Not long after, the camp's power system finally resumed normal operation. Yi Yuzhi stood in place and subconsciously reached out to touch his chest - there was a heart beating strongly there.

"I live for you..." He murmured to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.

At this time, everyone in the camp began to discuss the new battalion commander. After a heated discussion and recommendation, everyone finally decided that Jiang Xianchuan would take on this important position. However, Jiang Xianchuan himself was reluctant to this result.

"Hey, Xiaochuan, just be the battalion commander. I trust you very much!" Bai Su looked at Jiang Xianchuan with a smile on his face, his eyes full of expectation and encouragement, but Jiang Xianchuan waved his hands and shook his head, shouting: "I don't want it! You don't know how troublesome it is to be a battalion commander. There are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with every day. My brain is not suitable for this kind of job. I am an idiot."

Qi Xiaoyao stood by and agreed, "I also think you are very suitable." Jiang Xianchuan looked at Qi Xiaoyao helplessly and complained, "Qi Xiaoyao, you also say so?"

At this moment, Yi Yuzhi came slowly. Jiang Xianchuan seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He pointed at Yi Yuzhi and said, "Then let Yi Yuzhi do it! I support him with both hands!" But Yi Yuzhi shook his head gently to refuse, and said, "No, I support you to take on this task."

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan's eyes widened, his face full of suspicion, even wondering if he had heard it wrongly, and asked in disbelief: "What? You actually support me?" Yi Yuzhi stared at Jiang Xianchuan firmly, nodded seriously, and then explained: "Yes, it was because of what you said before that I woke up from my dream. Compared to someone like me who is cowardly and indecisive, perhaps you are the most suitable candidate."

Seeing this, Bai Su hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and advised: "Xiaochuan, don't refuse anymore! We all sincerely support you! Besides, I like to run around all the time and really don't have time to manage the big and small affairs in the camp. Xiaoyao is usually taciturn and not very good at communicating with others. Overall, you are the only one who can do this job!"

After hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan couldn't help but frown and said with a wry smile: "Does it mean that my thoughts and opinions are not important at all?" Unexpectedly, Bai Su nodded without hesitation and replied: "Yes, it is not important!" Jiang Xianchuan was so angry that his mouth twitched a few times, and he responded unhappily: "Okay, okay, since you have already made up your mind to play like this, what else can I say?"

Shi Yi and Li Lingyu stood nearby, watching the lively scene with great interest, muttering to themselves, "Xianchuan is so lucky now!"

Amid the clamor of the crowd, this seemingly hasty election was finalized. From beginning to end, no one cared whether Jiang Xianchuan himself was willing to accept the result, as if he was just a puppet at the mercy of others.

Then, Bai Su quickly took out a thick document from his arms, handed it to Jiang Xianchuan without hesitation, and said seriously: "Xiaochuan, oh no, now I should call you the battalion commander. This document contains important information we obtained during our last field exploration. Please be sure to take a look at it." Jiang Xianchuan frowned slightly and took the heavy document helplessly. When he glanced at the page full of densely packed text, he suddenly felt his head buzzing and a severe pain came over him.

You know, reading is one of the things Jiang Xianchuan hates most in his life, because as soon as he starts reading a book, he will fall asleep within a few minutes.

But at this moment, faced with such a crucial task, he could only grit his teeth and force himself to concentrate on reading the document.

Although sleepiness kept coming like a tide and almost drowned him, Jiang Xianchuan still relied on his strong willpower to struggle against the strong tiredness.

Finally, after some hard work, Jiang Xianchuan managed to finish reading the entire document, and several key points in it successfully attracted his attention, making him instantly alert despite being drowsy.

It turned out that according to the report of Bai Su and others, while they were out, they actually encountered a kind of mutant zombies that could control the actions of ordinary zombies, and what was even more shocking was that there was a large group of zombies with the ability to communicate in language!

After seeing these amazing discoveries, Jiang Xianchuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and a bold idea began to gradually emerge in his mind - if he had the opportunity to go out next time, maybe he could try to capture a few such strange zombies and bring them back for in-depth research and experiments, and maybe he could find an antidote to the zombie virus.

So, after taking a deep breath, he finally made up his mind to tell Bai Su his inner thought, "Do you think we can catch a few zombies to do experiments next time we explore?" After saying this, he paused slightly and observed Bai Su's reaction.

Bai Su nodded seriously, indicating that he understood what he meant, and patted his chest and replied: "No problem! I guarantee to complete the task." His firm and confident eyes seemed to convey an invisible power to the other party.

Seeing Bai Su's confident and confident look, Jiang Xianchuan quickly raised his hands and said repeatedly: "No, no, it is not necessary to catch him. Your safety should be the priority."

Bai Su was not shaken by Jiang Xianchuan's seemingly conciliatory words. Instead, he showed a sly smile, winked mischievously and said, "Captain, you have already spoken. As your capable subordinate, how can I not try my best to complete it? Just relax, I have always been very sensible in doing things, and I will never act rashly!"
