Originally, Zhang Xiaoqiang had brought Li Grassland's Second Garrison Regiment here to take over the defense of the mountain town to prevent the possible appearance of mutated beasts. Unexpectedly, the main force encountered the mutated monkeys. Not only did they obtain a large number of mutated beast corpses, but they also captured a lot of mutated monkeys. Zhang Xiaoqiang already knew the whole story, and he greatly appreciated the commanders who could come up with a way to restrain the mutated monkeys.
However, even so, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not plan to replace Ding Ziqiang. His reason was very simple. Ding Ziqiang had suffered such a heavy blow that he would eventually learn something. An excellent commander was not born. Zhao Jun was now undergoing his final inspection. Zhao Jun was very good, but he had some concerns because he came from the Silver Stream Army. Although he could get a high position in the army, he could not become the commander of the Grassland Army. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang had to choose one of Ding Ziqiang and the others to be his temporary commander when he returned home.
Li Yao had performed very well, but he was just a very ordinary soldier before and had a lot to learn. If he were to be promoted now, it might spoil things through excessive enthusiasm. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang transferred Li Yao back and then let Li Grassland go. It was also a kind of training. After all, he planned to let Li Yao first become the commander of the main force after the expansion, and then take over as the deputy brigade commander. This way, the foundation would be solid step by step.
While they were waiting for Li Yao, Meow Meow had already leaped onto the tree. The Dragon Tooth Fruits fell like raindrops, scattering under the tree like leaves in autumn. When Meow Meow jumped down from the tree with a proud look on his face, Big Red Dog, who had eaten his fill, eagerly caught Meow Meow.
Under Zhang Xiaoqiang's supervision, the civilians who were collecting the Dragontooth Fruits collected the scattered Dragontooth Fruits into locked metal boxes. Many people picked up the fruit shells left by the big dog and carried them as incense. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not stop them.
Beside his feet, Zhou Xiong was sleeping. Suddenly, his whole body twitched. The next moment, Zhou Xiong opened his eyes and saw the canopy-like branches and leaves above his head.
"I'm not dead?
I'm really not dead?
How did I not die? "
The painful scene before he fainted flashed back to his mind. Zhou Xiong sat up abruptly and howled at the tree that was as thick as a wall. It was as if he had just escaped with his life.
"Get up. Remember what I said. Now, try to see if you have any new abilities."
Zhang Xiaoqiang said calmly, his two eyes staring unblinkingly at Zhou Xiong, who was rubbing his head. Zhou Xiong stood up and looked left and right suspiciously, then said: "Zhang Xiaoqiang, why are these people so unruly? If they want to pick up something, then pick it up. Why are they chattering non-stop? Don't they know you're here?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little puzzled by Zhou Xiong's words. The crowd was very quiet. Other than him and Zhou Xiong, no one else spoke. Could it be that Zhou Xiong was hallucinating after eating the colloid?
"That's not right … They didn't speak, so where did that voice come from?
How strange! "
Zhou Xiong was still mumbling to himself when Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat. He cursed Zhou Xiong in his heart and asked,
"What did I say to you just now?"
Zhou Xiong looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang suspiciously and said hesitantly:
"Didn't you ask me what new ability I have?
I'm trying to come up with a new ability. "
Zhang Xiaoqiang was speechless. His guess didn't make sense, which made him suspect that Zhou Xiong's talent was too poor. It seemed like there really was a side effect. The next moment, Zhou Xiong spoke again.
"Huh?
That guy in the red shirt just now, he cheated on his wife with someone else last night. Oh, and he secretly hid a gun under the bed … "
At this point, Zhou Xiong fell into deep thought and continued:
"The gun was hidden before he entered the mountain town. He hid it when he was still a peripheral member. It's the reason why he's still alive. Also, this guy actually has his eyes on his superior's wife …"
As Zhou Xiong pointed at the people picking up the Dragontooth Fruits, all the secrets of these people were revealed by Zhou Xiong. This caused Zhang Xiaoqiang to be shocked. Zhou Xiong had actually obtained another ability. From the Camouflage Hypnosis Technique to the true Mind Reading Technique, it was a group ability.
However, it seemed like this ability only worked on ordinary people. At least, Zhang Xiaoqiang called Zhou Xiong's name dozens of times in his heart, but Zhou Xiong didn't have any reaction. Instead, Zhang Xiaoqiang forgot about it and became interested in the private lives of these people.
"Try to shut off these voices … or stop thinking about these people's private lives …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang reminded him. Although Zhou Xiong didn't say what he felt, Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that once he was surrounded by all kinds of voices, no matter where he went, Zhou Xiong would hear countless voices. Anyone would go crazy.
After a while, Zhou Xiong shook his head and said in distress:
"No, no matter how I try, it doesn't work. It's like those voices have taken root, surrounding me like countless flies buzzing in my ears …"
"Alright, alright, your ability is the same as that zombie kid's, called Mind Reading. However, the zombie kid's Mind Reading Technique is a single target, while you're a little better. You can be considered a group Mind Reading Technique. From now on, you just have to do your job honestly. If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk and secretly record all the suspicious people, then let the executive department deal with them …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't dislike this ability, as long as it didn't work on him. He didn't expect Zhou Xiong to obtain this ability, which was a pleasant surprise. However, Zhou Xiong didn't think so. He said with a sad face, "Before I could Mind Reading Technique, you were already guarding against me. Now that my ability is even more abnormal, shouldn't you be guarding against me even more?"
In response to Zhou Xiong's distress, Zhang Xiaoqiang said in a serious tone:
"I found a problem. Your ability has no effect on me at all. If I want to kill you, I can do so at any time. Moreover, you can't affect the evolvers of the Bloody Battle Group. For the time being, if you want to have any evil thoughts, you can't hide them from the evolvers I placed beside you. Sometimes, you have to learn to be smarter. Don't think about things that you shouldn't think about …"
As for Zhang Xiaoqiang sending people to spy on him, Zhou Xiong was well aware of it. Now that Zhang Xiaoqiang had explained it to him, he felt relieved. Zhang Xiaoqiang had set a bottom line. If he stepped on the line, he would die. In the face of death, Zhou Xiong just wanted to stay far away from the line. He didn't even have the mood to be curious.
Under Zhou Xiong's repeated assurances, Zhang Xiaoqiang sent him away. He took out a dragontooth fruit from a neatly stacked iron box and split it open with a knife. Before he could eat it, Zhang Xiaoqiang was surrounded by a rich sweetness. When he ate it, the unique taste of the dragontooth fruit conquered his taste buds. Then, Zhang Xiaoqiang threw the leftover shell out, and it smashed into Flash, who was lying on the ground, screaming in pain.
Li Grassland arrived in the afternoon. In the long convoy, there were all kinds of vehicles. Many of them were dragged by the vehicles in front because their engines had stalled midway. Even from a distance, they could hear the chattering of the convoy.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't care about the monkeys who were screaming with broken legs and claws. He first visited Charle, who had woken up. Most of Charle's bones were fractured, and many of the broken bones had pierced into his internal organs. Fortunately, among the three of them, there was a mercenary team's battlefield doctor. In addition to being proficient in sniping and individual artillery, Ghost was also an expert in battlefield treatment.
Making use of the military medical vehicle, he had helped Charle with the operation and stayed by her side the entire time. Zhang Xiao Qiang gave the order, and Charle's team followed Charle into the heavily guarded mountain town.
Anyone who entered the town would first be shocked by the dragontooth fruit tree standing in the center of the town. The Chinese rarely had the opportunity to see such a large tree, but Charle's team was used to it. In the United States, there was a giant sequoia tree that was hundreds of meters tall.
At first glance at Zhang Xiaoqiang, Charle, who was more mummified than a mummy, whispered in a weak voice, "It's great to see you.
I think it's time for me to end my mercenary career. I want you to promise me that you'll let Rattlesnake and Ghost evolve. This is what you promised … "
Zhang Xiao Qiang nodded without saying a word. He asked Ghost,
He first asked Ghost, "Does he still have a chance to stand up?"
Ghost did not show his white teeth and smile as usual. Instead, he shook his head with a straight face and said, "His spine is broken, and his cerebellum is concussed.
He won't even be able to pee in the future. Poor Charle, even if he wanted to hit a plane, he wouldn't be able to hold onto his little brother … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not understand how foreigners thought. If it were a Chinese, he would have been in so much pain that he would have wanted to die. His comrades who were taking care of him would also have said something good. However, Ghost was blunt. Charle, who was unable to move, could only smile bitterly and then curse.
