As soon as this question was raised, the crowd began to buzz with discussion...
Looking at the once again agitated crowd below, Xu Xiafeng's face not only had no angry expression, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"By joining the army, you can get more credit points and exchange for more resources. Moreover, if you have family members, as long as one person in the family joins the army, the rest of the relatives are eligible to be exempted from labor!"
None of the survivors had any idea of the credit points mentioned by Xu Xiafeng.
After all, for them, their awareness is still at the time when buying goods requires spending money.
The primitive method of exchanging labor for materials of equal value has faded out of people's sight for a long time.
But the exemption of other relatives from labor has greatly stimulated everyone's nerves.
Although not all survivors have relatives, for those who have children or elderly people at home, joining the army is undoubtedly the best way to protect their families.
After all, the Siming Mountain shelter does not support idlers. If there are many elderly people and children at home, they will not be able to do heavy manual labor.
Although I could survive on the daily subsistence allowance, one can imagine how difficult the life was.
Using your own risks in exchange for your family’s food, clothing, and safe survival is a fair transaction!
After the commotion, people in the crowd began to look at Xu Xiafeng one after another.
Someone is starting to get excited!
After a while, a strong man emerged from the crowd.
He took two steps forward and arrived in front of the stage where Xu Xiafeng was standing.
"After joining the army, will my family really be free of labor? Will food and water be supplied normally?"
"Yes, I guarantee with my head that your family will be protected with the highest priority."
Xu Xiafeng nodded his head with a stubby finger and promised.
"Okay, I choose to join the army!"
Without too much hesitation, the man who stood up spoke directly and spoke solemnly to Xu Xiafeng.
"Haha, not bad! Huizi, go and register this brother's family members, and then bring over a set of military uniforms."
A cheerful smile appeared on Xu Xiafeng's face, and he shouted at the top of his voice without turning his head.
"No problem Captain Xu, this comrade, please come to me with your family members..."
Wang Xuhui emerged from nowhere, holding a pen and a notebook in his hand, and spoke to the sturdy man in a friendly manner.
"Hey, does anyone really choose to join the army directly..."
"Hey, those two old people are his parents, and there is a teenage girl..."
"I want to make life more comfortable for my family. No wonder I take risks and join the army..."
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, and most people looked at the strong man with sympathy, but some people had a look of eagerness in their eyes.
"Sir, I also want to join the army! Will the shelter take care of my mother?"
Xu Xiafeng glanced over and nodded in response.
“As long as you enlist, the shelter will take care of all your relatives.”
"Then I'll join in!"
"I want to be a soldier too!"
The survivors began to receive requests to join the army, but Xu Xiafeng had a serious face at this moment and was not as friendly as he was to the strong man at the beginning.
"I can understand that everyone chooses to join the army so that their relatives can live a comfortable life, but
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I also hope you understand that joining the military means taking greater risks than ordinary shelter residents. "
"So I don't recommend ordinary people to join!"
After saying that, Xu Xiafeng named a few of the survivors who had previously expressed their intention to join the army.
"You, you, and you, the three of you, are not eligible to join the army for the time being!"
"The rest of them, those who have thought clearly, will go to Huizi to register their relatives."
This differential treatment made the survivors whose names were called feel embarrassed. Among them was a middle-aged man with a big body and a round waist, who asked with dissatisfaction.
"Sir, why can they join the army but not us? Look at that brother, his thighs are not as thick as my arms. Can he kill zombies?"
Indeed, when the middle-aged man said this, all the survivors discovered something.
Among the few people who were allowed to join the army by Xu Xiafeng, there was indeed a very thin young man who looked like a weak scholar and had no fighting ability at all.
The thin young man didn't show any anger when he heard someone talking about him. He just looked back and replied.
"If it's just about killing zombies, I should be better than you."
"How is it possible? You have thin arms and legs. If you join the army, you might not even be able to lift a gun, right?"
The tall and round middle-aged man was not hostile at all, he just asked in confusion.
"He is a strengthener. If you don't believe it, give it a try."
Xu Xiafeng looked at the two people in front of him with a smirk and added.
"What is an enhancer? Is it very powerful? Then I, Changwei, am still born with divine power! No, I don't accept it, let's make a show of it, brothers!"
With that said, the middle-aged man who called himself Chang Wei stepped forward and grabbed the thin young man with one hand.
Despite all his efforts, he was unable to move the opponent's body.
"Brother, I don't want to cause trouble."
The young man turned around again and spoke calmly.
But this time, there was obviously a hint of coldness in his words.
"You want to avoid getting into trouble? You have to have that ability first!"
Chang Wei, who had a big body and a round waist, shrank in front of everyone. He probably felt that he couldn't save his face, so the strength in his hands suddenly increased by two points.
The young man's shoulders were forcibly pulled, and an unhappy look flashed across his face.
The smell of gunpowder began to fill the air!
Just when the fight was about to break out, a five or six-year-old boy emerged from behind Chang Wei, and a sloping woman followed from the crowd.
"Honey, what are you doing? Let go!"
"Daddy, don't fight, daddy, don't fight..."
It can be seen that these two people are naturally Chang Wei's wife and children.
The moment the two appeared, everyone present understood the reason.
Why did Chang Wei insist on joining the army? It’s not just to take care of family members who have little ability to work.
Perhaps the dissuasion from his wife and children had an effect. The anger on Chang Wei's face subsided and he loosened his grip on the young man.
Turning around to protect his family, he faced Xu Xiafeng and said.
"Sir, I also want to join the army, not for anything else, just so that my wife and children can have enough to eat and live safely!"
Looking at the man in charge in front of him, the smile on Xu Xiafeng's face became even stronger.
However, he still did not agree to the other party's request to join the army.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Walked down the stage.
"Brother Chang Wei, I can understand your mood, but according to the new rules, you are not a strengthener. If you want to join the army, you need to save a thousand credit points."
"If you were an Enhancer, I could approve you to join the army now, but it's a pity that you are not yet..."
As he said that, Xu Xiafeng stretched out his right palm toward the opponent's shoulder and patted him twice in a seemingly casual manner.
But just these two slaps almost knocked Chang Wei to the ground.
"The world has changed, man."
"It turns out that this is the power of the enhancer..."
Chang Wei, who staggered two steps, looked at Xu Xiafeng in front of him in disbelief. It turned out that the difference between ordinary people and enhanced ones was so big.
"But you don't have to worry. Not all labor requires heavy physical exertion. Those who are physically disabled or have difficulty moving can also register with Keiko and the shelter will arrange appropriate tasks."
Raising his finger and pointing at Wang Xuhui beside him, Xu Xiafeng said.
"Okay, I understand..."
Chang Wei nodded, took his wife and children, and retreated into the crowd.
Next, Xu Xiafeng waited for a while, and when he saw that there were no more Enhancers among the survivors applying to join the army, he led the team away.
After this incident, a total of five Enhancers among the survivors joined the army and became the defense force of the Siming Mountain Sanctuary.
Among the six people who followed the long-haired middle-aged man before, there were also two Enhancers.
Logically speaking, Xu Xiafeng should feel sorry for this.
After all, the direct order given to him by his superiors was to enter a state of war and vigorously expand the army while accepting surrounding survivors.
But not only was there no look of regret on this fierce man's face, but there was also a hint of joy as if something big had been resolved.
Underground Shelter No. 2, in a relatively quiet conference room.
Xu Xiafeng sat down calmly, the chair creaking under the weight of his heavy body.
Opposite him, five first-level ability users sat one after another.
They are the honest and dark-skinned Xu Kai, the round-faced young man Chen Xiao, Gao Chenxi with a mean look in his eyebrows, the serious-looking Huang Bingtian, and the last one, Xu Sili, who does not have a strong sense of presence.
Next to these five first-level ability users were Xu Xiaoxiao and little lolita Wang Xinran.
Among them, Xu Xiaoxiao had changed into a clean black military uniform, while Xiao Ran was still wearing his original casual clothes.
It's not that Xiao Ran doesn't want to wear a military uniform, it's just that the stock uniform is a bit too big for a nine-year-old girl, so she just skips it.
Everyone just stayed in the office without saying a word, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
Five minutes... ten minutes...
Just when Xu Xiafeng was about to lose his patience, there was a burst of unhurried footsteps outside the conference room.
The door was opened lightly, and Bai Donggu stepped in, followed by a bald sergeant and Qiu Qianjun, the leader of the large army in the east of the city.
Xu Xiafeng, who was always chirping, didn't say much at the moment. He just stood up from his chair silently and looked back and forth at the bald sergeant and Qiu Qianjun.
It wasn't until the two of them sat down that Xu Xiafeng coughed lightly and sat back down.
After scanning the crowd, Xu Xiafeng looked calm and spoke.
"Everyone, let me introduce to you first. This is the Tu Wu Tu team from County C. He is also the most powerful being in the Siming Mountain Sanctuary. He is a physical enhancement system and a second-level ability user..."
