Chapter 29 Ning County Town

  As they got off the bus, Zhou Yue, Liang Xiaoxue, Zhao Dashan, and Li Dan were grouped together with Lan Hongliang, He Ming, Xue Zhongchi, Jiang Qin, and others. Except for Liang Xiaoxue and Zhang Ying, all of them had been promoted to level 3. As for Qin Lang and Guan Hong, they showed off their wealth and status, patted each other on the backside, turned around, and jumped into a Hummer that had come to pick them up, disappearing in an instant.

  Tang Kun rushed to report the situation to his superiors, and Zhou Yue and others originally thought they would be left here for a long time. After all, who has not experienced bureaucratic work style? However, unexpectedly, Tang Kun led a 35- or 36-year-old major with sharp facial features and a man wearing glasses, who was clearly a government official, to walk over just a few minutes later.

  "The Chu camp commander, they are the best example. If we consider their combat ability with cold weapons, each of them can be equivalent to ten or even twenty elite soldiers. So I suggest that we select elite soldiers from the army and upgrade them in this way to enhance their combat effectiveness. As long as we have a team of such elite master soldiers, even if Ning County loses its county seat, we can take it back!" Tang Kun was excitedly pointing at Zhou Yue and others, seemingly trying to sell his experience to that lieutenant colonel commander.

  When Tang Kun said this, the commander of the Chu camp looked at Zhou Yue and others for a few eyes, but shook his head and said: "It's impossible, Tang Kun. You want too many people. Now there is only one regular army in Ning County, and I haven't even settled accounts with you for the previous loss of an entire company. You actually want to select 100 elite soldiers from this camp? If you take all these people away, who will guard Ning County? There are tens of millions of people gathered in this county seat. Once Ning County is lost, can you afford to take responsibility? So, apart from these people, you can only draw ten more people from your company, and the remaining soldiers will be assigned to the camp guard company. That's it!"

  So saying, Chu Yinglong turned to the government official and smiled: "Secretary Gao, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to find a place for Tang Lianzhang's elite soldiers to rest in Ning County. They've been fighting for nearly a day and night, although they didn't complete their mission of defending Qiaotou Town, but their bravery is undeniable."

  "Alright, alright, no problem, let's go to the Ningcheng Hotel then. The environment is good and the service is also good. However, Director Chu, can you lend us a few of these elite troops who can take on ten or twenty people? The mayor has a lot on his plate, and at this time of disaster, he is the last line of defense for the hearts of all the people in Chishan City. His safety is crucial. I think those few over there would be suitable!" Secretary Gao said with a warm smile, pointing to Zhou Yue, Zhao Dashan, and Lan Hongliang. This old guy wasn't stupid either, surprisingly knowing about levels and attributes.

  "No way! Not a single one can be spared, we still have tasks to complete!" Tang Kun said sternly before Chu Yinglong could speak. Although he had deliberately suppressed Zhou Yue's promotion speed earlier, he also understood that Zhou Yue's own explosive combat power was equivalent to three or four people. Now that he wanted to train those 0-level soldiers, he couldn't do without Zhou Yue's help!

  Tang Kun's words were too harsh, and the high-ranking secretary smiled awkwardly, but his eyes turned to Zhou Yue, smiling and saying: "Can you show me that dagger in your hand? It's said that the mayor loves collecting these cold weapons, like Japanese swords."

  When he heard this, Zhou Yue, who had been expressionless all along, finally let out a cold laugh, staring at Secretary Gao with an idiotic gaze. Although Zhou Yue was just a loser and a commoner before, the number of evil spirits he killed in one day and night was close to three hundred, which means they were all human beings. At this moment, although unintentional, the murderous aura in his eyes was enough to make Secretary Gao, who had only 0-level strength, break out in cold sweat. If it weren't for the hundreds of fully armed soldiers surrounding him, he would have thoughtlessly cut off Secretary Gao's head and kicked it like a ball!

  "Haha! Just kidding!"

  Startled by Zhou Yue's sharp gaze, Secretary Gao hastily said, then found a government personnel to lead Zhou Yue and the others around the city wall under construction, into Ning County City. As for Tang Kun and the remaining soldiers, they were left in their original place.

  At this time, after the car that Zhou Yue and others were riding in disappeared from view, Chu Yinglong suddenly spoke up: "That guy is very strong, he has already risen to level 4. According to the latest intelligence, the highest level in the country is a person from a certain military region's guard team, who has reached level 6. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that our entire regiment is the only one in Chishan City, I would really like to go with you to upgrade!"

  "What's 6th grade?" Chu Yinglong didn't have any concept of 6th grade, but Tang Kun was different, so the change in his expression was extremely great.

  "No way, Colonel, you must allocate 20 more men to me. This kind of superpower must be grasped in our military's hands. You also saw it just now, that little kid, if he was level 5, I'm sure he would have directly broken General Gao's neck, and these few hundred soldiers probably wouldn't be able to stop him!" Tang Kun said coldly, he was very wary of Zhou Yue, not only because Zhou Yue was an ordinary person, but also because Zhou Yue didn't have any discipline or obedience in the military! A person like this, once without restraint, relying on their own powerful strength, would pose a huge hidden danger to the entire society!

  "Is he that formidable? Can't even you, a martial arts expert, defeat him?" Chu Yinglong exclaimed in shock, for he knew just how formidable Tang Kun's skills were.

  "Can't beat him? No, the truth is that kid only needs one second to send me to see King Yan. Do you know his current speed? I can tell you, his current agility is almost equal to two adults, which means he can run 100 meters in just five seconds, or even less time. With such speed and combined with agile dodging, you can imagine how terrifying that is!" Tang Kun said in a low voice, actually he was already regretful. If he had known this earlier, he would have let some of his soldiers choose agility as their specialty, which could have suppressed Zhou Yue. Unfortunately, they all chose strength as their specialty, and it's because of this that he urgently needs more elite soldiers to re-select and upgrade!

  Tang Kun's words also made Chu Yingchang change color, but he said with some difficulty: "I can't give you more soldiers, in case Ning County loses again, this price we can't afford."

  "Has Ning County fallen?" Tang Kun suddenly looked around, lowering his voice and saying: "Old Chu, we've been friends for over a decade, let me give you some honest advice. This Ning County, it can't be defended. Do you think that just because of the city wall, something magical will happen? Don't be too naive. If it were really that simple, why would all the major cities across the country, including the capital, which is a military stronghold, also fall? In the future, what will determine victory or defeat on the battlefield won't be those modernized weapons, but rather that kind of superpower that can be upgraded! Whoever grasps more of that power will have more say!"

  The commander of the Chu camp's face changed color after hearing this, and it was a long time before he gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, I'll trust you once. I'll give you a quota for fifty people! However, you must bring back at least thirty people for me, otherwise, I won't let you off!"
