Chapter 18: Rotation of Troops

  That side often seems to understand, yet doesn't seem to understand. However, Zhou Yue didn't explain anymore and directly closed his eyes. Tomorrow, no matter what, he would try to continue infiltrating the Red Mountain City District, looking for an opportunity to kill those evil spirits. Because he was now level 3, if he wanted to upgrade to level 4, he needed to at least kill 10 level 3 evil spirits, or 100 level 2 evil spirits, or 2000 level 1 evil spirits. This task was extremely daunting and couldn't be taken lightly. He didn't want to die yet. In his opinion, to avoid that terrifying archer, one would need at least 20 points of agility to dodge successfully.

  Just then, Zhao Dashi suddenly spoke up, "Zhou Yue, are you going into the city tomorrow? I've figured it out, unless we keep leveling up, running into those Yellow Turban archers is a death sentence. Escaping isn't an option! If our few people work together, as long as we don't run into those archers, even if we encounter ordinary infantry with swords and shields, we'll have a fighting chance!"

  "We'll see!"

  Zhou Yue didn't open his eyes, and said lightly. Zhao Dashan could see this point and wasn't surprised at all. After all, this guy looked careless on the surface but was actually very calculating and not stupid!

  On the other side, He Ming glanced at Zhou Yue and then at Zhao Dashan, but didn't say a word. Although he was now the captain of the third squad, in reality he could only command his two comrades and Fang Chang among others. As for Zhou Yue, Zhao Dashan, and Li Dan, he had no ability to command them.

  At this time, Tang Kun's voice came from outside the room, arranging for each small team to take turns keeping watch at night. When it was Zhou Yue and others' third team, they had already lined up from 2 am to 6 am.

  "Hold on to your rest, tomorrow there will be a regiment of reinforcements coming over, with ten artillery pieces and four armored vehicles! We'll talk about rewards later!" Tang Kun walked in and swept his eyes across the crowd before saying this in a low voice, but he himself probably didn't believe that those so-called reinforcements would have any effect.

  After Tang Kun left, the crowd remained silent. Zhou Yue was very concise and pulled over a quilt, squeezing that woman to one side, forcing himself to fall asleep. However, the evil spirit's fang still clutched in his left wrist, he had to be cautious because human hearts are the most complicated. He couldn't trust anyone now. If someone took advantage of his sleep and stole his evil spirit's fang and evil spirit ring, he would be finished. After all, those two pieces of equipment couldn't be bound!

  Also, he has to guard against someone shooting him in the back, this kind of thing is also very likely to happen under the current chaotic situation.

  So, if there were a few very trustworthy partners, like Zhao Dashan, Li Dan and Zhang Ying, at least when sleeping, they could take turns keeping watch, without having to be on tenterhooks. But this is really difficult! Who can he trust now? No one can be trusted!

  So entangled, Zhou Yue was half awake and half confused, unaware of how long he had slept, when he heard the door being pushed open. In that instant, he suddenly woke up with a start, subconsciously throwing off the covers, and then his whole person was like a flash of lightning, rushing to the door in an instant. The evil ghost tooth on his right hand drew a sharp arc in mid-air, directly across the neck of the person who opened the door!

  The change at this moment was so sudden that the person didn't even have time to react, and his face turned pale with fright!

  "Stop! Stop, it's me! One of us!"

  "This is the third squad's room, what are you doing here?" Zhou Yue said coldly, and now she could see clearly that the person who came was that rich and handsome guy, and he brought two subordinates with him. However, these two subordinates only reacted at this moment, hastily pulling out their guns and pointing them at Zhou Yue.

  " Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! It was Tang Lianchang who let us three join the third squad, absolutely no malice!" The tall, rich and handsome man hurriedly explained.

  At this time, Zhao Dashan and others in the room were also startled, but none of them saw Zhou Yue's speed burst out in that instant. From the sofa to the door, a distance of nearly five meters, Zhou Yue burst out and subdued the rich second generation without using even one second.

  "Oh, that's a misunderstanding. Welcome to the third squad. And tell your subordinates to put down their guns!" Zhou Yue said calmly, then put away the Evil Ghost Tooth and went back to sleep on the sofa with the quilt over her head.

  That tall, rich and handsome man stood at the door for two or three seconds, his eyes filled with extreme shock. He now had 14 points of agility, but in front of Zhou Yue, he didn't even have half a chance to fight back. He didn't doubt that if Zhou Yue really made a move, he and the two subordinates behind him would definitely die instantly, without even having time to resist.

  "Is this what an upgrade brings? What a true beginning of an adventurous era!"

  His heart was filled with a burning fire, and the tall, rich and handsome man quickly regained his previous calmness, smiling at everyone: "Everyone, let's get to know each other. My name is Qin Lang, these two are my friends, Guan Hong and Dong Kaiqi. The three of us will join the third squad and fight alongside you all. I hope you can give us more guidance!"

  The rich and handsome man is indeed a rich and handsome man, his charm is truly different from others. In an instant, he got along extremely well with everyone, except for Zhou Yue and the woman Zhou Yue rescued.

  "Third squad, prepare to switch shifts! Go to the big bridge to replace the second squad!"

  At this time, Tang Kun's slightly hoarse voice came from outside the door. It was very obvious that he hadn't closed his eyes for the entire first half of the night.

  Although extremely reluctant, the crowd couldn't help but grumble and leave with their quilts. Zhou Yue naturally couldn't be an exception, but he took back his 81-style rifle from Zhao Dashan's hands and threw it to the woman on the sofa, saying: "You'll stay here for the rest of the night, and tomorrow morning you'll take the train to Ning County, where there is government-organized relief and it's safer. Also, if you hear any movement later, run immediately towards Ning County, as far as you can go, every minute counts!"

  Zhou Yue's words seemed to have no effect on the woman, but they scared Zhang Ying, who had originally planned to stay in her room and sleep, so much that she hastily wrapped herself in a quilt and ran to Zhao Dashan's side. Although she had been promoted to level 2, it was all thanks to Zhao Dashan's protection.

  Zhou Yue finished speaking and turned around to leave the room. He didn't care whether the woman listened or not, anyway he had already done his utmost in benevolence and righteousness.

  As soon as Zhou Yue walked out of the government building, she suddenly felt a chill. It was in the depths of winter and nearly 2 o'clock in the morning, when the temperature was at its lowest. Fortunately, there was no wind, and with her greatly increased vitality, she could still withstand it.

  The entire Qiaotou Town was now left with only a few bright spots, except for the sound of footsteps, everything was quiet. Looking at the three kilometers away Chishan City, which should have been a bustling metropolis with lights on all night, it was now like an endless abyss, pitch black, making people's hearts even heavier.

  Zhou Yue knew that at this time, there were still many survivors in the city of Chishan. Just like his neighbor, the guy who worked night shifts, but they were too timid and didn't rush out in the first few critical hours. Instead, they foolishly waited for rescue, unaware that the longer they waited, the more brutal their fate would be!

  The alert location was on the big bridge in Qiaotou Town, where there were two searchlights that kept scanning the darkness ahead to prevent the Yellow Turbans from launching a surprise attack under cover of night. However, Zhou Yue and others who had seen the Yellow Turban archers knew that this was useless. The range of those archers was nearly 500 meters, and they were in the light, making them the best targets! If they didn't launch a nighttime raid, it would be fine, but if they really did, not one of them would escape.

  But there's no way around it, they have to stay here. If anyone dares to make a slight mistake, He Ming and his soldiers will definitely shoot first, and the power of those bullets is also terrifying.
