Thunder God!
Ye Chen looked at the man in front of him with a trace of surprise in his eyes. He did not expect the man he had casually saved to become a battalion commander in China Base City's military.
After the apocalypse, the military hierarchy was different from before. It was divided into ten ranks, with the highest being the commander-in-chief. He held military power and was also the boss of the base city.
Under the commander-in-chief, there were: senior commander, intermediate commander, junior commander, general, lieutenant general, major general, battalion commander, regiment commander, and captain.
Their military ranks and positions were abolished, and they were combined into a unified position. There was no distinction between military ranks or positions. Everything was simplified and unified!
From the top ten positions, military commander, division commander, and other occupations were abolished.
The "regiment" was changed from the previous "large regiment" to the current "small regiment". 100 people were a regiment and 20 people were a team.
This was a reform of the base city's system.
For example, the publicity department of the ancient times was not as complicated as the modern times. There was advertising creativity, technical staff, planning, and so on. The division was too small. In the ancient times, you were given printed paper to paste everywhere. Because at that time, as long as you put it out, people would read it. But now, there were too many advertisements and competition was too high. This was the difference between the modern and ancient times.
The different occupations in each era were only because of the needs of the era.
The promotion of military ranks came from experience and skill.
The skill of a soldier in the apocalypse was to know how to kill monsters and where the monster's weakness was. But this was under the premise of having the strength to kill the monster.
Therefore, there was no military rank system. The names of military ranks were applied to military positions. They were called the military ranks.
Among them, the battalion commander's rank was the highest. He held a lot of military power. Every battalion commander had ten regiments, and each regiment had five teams.
A battalion's quota was 1000 people.
Until now …
A total of 108 battalions had been recruited.
Ye Chen's battalion was the newest one. As more and more people came, the battalion would continue to expand.
Every battalion commander had thousands of soldiers. The monthly performance was amazing. They could get a lot of meat and monster corpses. They could give them to the Ministry of Commerce and make them into dishes to be sold.
Behind him, White Dragon and the others did not recognize Gu Xinghe when they first saw him. When they heard this, they were stunned and looked at the man with surprise. After a while, they remembered him.
"It's you?"
White Dragon was surprised. He immediately grinned and said, "Long time no see. I didn't expect you to reach this level. Not bad!"
Gu Xinghe smiled faintly and said to Mo Feng, Bai Long, and the others, "Fortunately, I came here in time. Ever since I became a battalion commander, I've ordered Ke Men, who are in charge of guarding the city gate, to report to me as soon as they see you guys. Unfortunately, my position isn't high enough, so they only reported to me today. I asked around and followed you guys all the way here.
Everyone laughed.
Gu Xinghe glanced at Ye Chen and did not ask what happened. Instead, he turned his head and stopped smiling. He looked at the muscular man and said, "What happened?"
The muscular man secretly cursed in his heart. From Gu Xinghe's attitude towards Ye Chen and the others, even if they were not friends, they were acquaintances. He had hit a wall.
Although Ye Chen killed people.
But in front of a Battalion Commander, killing a person was nothing. Black could be said to be white. This was bending the law for personal gain!
Sue him?
The robust man didn't even think about it. He was just a small squad leader in charge of 20 people. Suing a Battalion Commander in charge of a thousand people was clearly an irrational action. Unless he had some big shot backing him up, or he had a strong backer, he would be courting death!
After all-
The one who had died was just a clerk in the information department. People like that could be easily recruited after the apocalypse. The base city would not punish a battalion commander for such an insignificant person. After all, the value of the two was completely different. Currently, the base city was in a shortage of talents. People were needed everywhere. It didn't matter if they lost those weak people who were as weak as ants.
This was the cruelty of the base city rulers after the apocalypse!
Of course, once such a thing was exposed, the base city could only execute the battalion commander due to the opinions of the public. Otherwise, who would join the base city in the future?
Looking at Gu Xinghe's sharp eyes, the muscular man's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He lowered his head and said, "No, nothing."
Gu Xinghe snorted, "Why are you still here? If I hear any rumors, you know the consequences!"
Rumors?
The muscular man smiled bitterly in his heart. It was a fact, but now it had become a rumor. He nodded bitterly and waved to the people around him. The group of soldiers were very sensible and quickly lowered their heads and got on the truck.
"Woo …"
The car drove far away, and the big truck not far away also quickly started and left. They didn't dare to look at Ye Chen and the others anymore. They knew that they were in trouble this time. Everyone present today was a witness. Not only could they not say anything, but they also had to prevent others from saying anything. They had to keep it a secret. Otherwise, if Battalion Commander Gu Xinghe found out about it, he would secretly kill them even though he wouldn't do anything to them on the surface.
After these people left, Gu Xinghe smiled. He looked at Ye Chen and said, "Are you interested?
Let's go to the hotel for dinner. "
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No, since it's over and I've finished reporting, I'll go to the army first."
Gu Xinghe said helplessly, "Okay, but with your strength, I believe you can quickly earn military merits and become battalion commanders."
Ye Chen nodded and did not deny it.
"Then I'll go first. Let's meet up some other time. Recently, the base city is expanding rapidly. There are still many things to do."
"Go ahead." Ye Chen nodded.
Gu Xinghe waved his hand, turned around, walked to the luxurious BMW, and left the neighborhood.
"Let's go."
Ye Chen did not have the slightest reluctance. He turned around and entered the building. When he returned to the office, he saw a few clerks hiding in the corner and whispering.
After seeing him return, these people were shocked and quickly shut their mouths.
Ye Chen did not bother to pay attention to them. He walked to the table of the dead woman, opened the document, and searched for the empty team. He randomly selected a team and put everyone's information in. Then, he took out five pieces of paper from the drawer, wrote down his names, and distributed them to White Dragon and the others.
He did all the registration procedures more naturally than the others. The people beside him were all stunned. When they first came, they were also taught by the supervisor for a long time before they knew every step. But how did Ye Chen, an outsider, know so much?
After Ye Chen distributed the cards to White Dragon and the others, he took the lead and walked out of the door. According to the address written on the cards, he walked to the building in the neighborhood. As he walked, he could not help but sigh. In his previous life, he relied on a base city and was assigned this kind of work in the beginning. Later, he was chosen by a big shot and transferred to the army. Since then, his fate had changed …
If it was not for the help of that big shot, he would have died after two or three years in his previous life.
Building 7!
This was where Ye Chen and the others lived. This neighborhood was the 108th military camp. There were a total of ten regiments, and each regiment had five teams!
Ye Chen chose the 8th regiment!
Before entering the building, a middle-aged man was sitting there. He was wearing a camouflage uniform and looked quite capable. When he saw Ye Chen and the others, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"We are here to join the team." Ye Chen walked in front of him and handed him the cards.
The middle-aged man looked down and then looked up at Ye Chen. The corners of his mouth curved and he said, "Do you have any experience in killing?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I wish you good luck. I hope you will not die in the mouth of zombies. The third squad is still lacking people. It is on the fifth floor. You can go."
Ye Chen nodded and did not say anything. He walked into the building and went up the stairs. White Dragon and the others followed him.
After a while, they arrived at the fifth floor.
There were two rooms on the first floor, and their doors were open. Ye Chen walked to Room 501, knocked on the door, and walked in. He saw that the room had been remodeled. Many luxurious furniture had been moved out, and only some simple furniture was left. There were two beds in the living room, and there were three bedrooms.
"Who are you looking for?" A young man was washing clothes. The basin was full of blood. He could not help but ask in surprise.
Ye Chen glanced and said, "We are new here. I don't know where there are empty beds."
The young man suddenly understood. He smiled and said, "There is an empty bedroom here. There are two bunk beds. You can move in."
Ye Chen nodded and walked in.
"I am Qing He. What is your name?" The young man saw White Dragon and the others outside the door and smiled.
"Ye Chen."
Ye Chen calmly spoke as he walked into the bedroom. After that, Mo Feng walked in as well. He wasn't someone who didn't like to communicate.
There were two beds in the bedroom. It was similar to the room of the workers in the factory.
The captain of the third squad was a well-proportioned young man. He looked very peaceful. After knowing that Ye Chen and the others were new here, he introduced them to each other. Then he talked about some general knowledge and military rules and left.
The next day.
Ye Chen got up very early and saw that Bai Long and the others were still sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. He opened the door and walked out. Suddenly, he saw that the youth named Qing He had also gotten up. He nodded slightly and walked out of the door towards the cafeteria.
There was a unified canteen in the barracks.
Ye Chen came here alone. He ate two bowls of porridge and then returned to the dormitory.
Every soldier's appetite was regulated. They were only given two bowls of porridge in the morning. If they wanted more, they had to pay for it themselves.
"I don't know what kind of military mission there is. If I accept it and become a high-ranking official, then I don't have to stay in the base city all day. My life is leisurely. I can do my own things and also get a salary from the military."
The higher the position, the more leisurely it was. It was like a worker or a boss. However, the higher the position, the more important the things they had to do. There was no room for mistakes.
Ye Chen walked to a building where military merits were announced.
