"Why, you came back so soon. Did you get the news you wanted?" Luo Yun asked after seeing Kukui come back with a happy face.
"Hehe, of course, but doesn't Captain Luo want to know?"
"I can also share it with Captain Luo for free." Kukui asked deliberately pretending to be a lie.
"You want to talk or not! I have no interest in knowing these things!" Although Luo Yun said that, her body moved unnaturally closer to Kukui, but her movements were very small.
When Kukui saw Luo Yun moving her body, she also moved her body, and then she quietly shared the information she had just obtained in Luo Yun's ear. The two of them had a tacit understanding and their movements were very covert.
"Does this ranking battle have any other meaning?" Luo Yun asked in a low voice. Since Kukui knows this, he should also know the reason for the ranking battle.
"I don't know what it means specifically, but Brother Qingwu just told me that ranking battle is a method used by city lords to select reserve players, and the higher the ranking, the better the benefits will be later. What is it specifically? He didn't say anything about the reserve members of the selection team and what kind of benefits he received." Kukui also shook his head. Qingwu didn't tell him everything, but it was pretty good that he knew so much information.
"You said that the selection is over, why don't you let us get in touch with the new mechas and battle armors? Why are we sitting here without medicine? Didn't you say that the mission is very urgent?" A person was resting. The tall man complained loudly. At this time, it was Kentero, nicknamed Bison, the fifth team captain of the Starfall City Starry Sky Exploration Team.
"I'm talking about bison, you've only been waiting for a while and you can't wait any longer. Be careful not to let you wear a new armor or drive a new mecha." A man with white hair looked at Kentero and smiled. Said, this man is the captain of Team 12 of the Starry Sky Exploration Team. Although the man has white hair, he is the youngest among the seventeen people who have been promoted. The white hair was dyed by himself and was not caused by other reasons. White hair.
"Dead man Bai, don't think you can pretend to be old just because you dyed your hair white. Be careful, I'll beat you up and make you unable to take care of yourself." Kentero knew who was mocking him just by listening to the voice. All in Falling Star City Among the captains of the Starry Sky Exploration Team, Lin Baibai was the only one who had the most foul-mouthed character and would hurt anyone he met.
"Look at Captain Luo and Captain Dugu. They are both resting quietly. I advise you to rest more." Long Ya reminded him from the side, although he didn't know what Zhuge Qingyun would do in the future. What, but it is right to follow those two people to make the appointment, and since people like myself are allowed to wait here, it means that this selection competition is not over yet.
"Have a rest. The selection has already been completed and you are still leaving us here. Isn't this an obvious way to give us power? Are you interested in practicing with me?"
"Anyway, I'm just staying here with you, why not find something to do." Kentero stood up and looked at Lin Baibai and said.
"Okay, I've long wanted to practice with this silly big guy like you, and I think the captain position of our exploration team needs to be rearranged." Lin Baibai has never been convinced by his twelfth captain. Position, because the names of the exploration team are ranked according to strength, why should I be the last one?
"In that case, let's do it!"
Soon, Kentero and Lin Baibai came to the playground and started fighting. The two of them were as excited as if they had taken stimulants. Moreover, Zhuge Qingyun also saw everything that happened here, but he just stood there. Watching quietly from a distance, he did not say anything to stop him. Although he needed a group of people with the strongest combat power, he also needed people who could keep calm. If they were the kind of people who couldn't stay any longer, they would not be able to stop him. There's no use coming.
"Captain Kukui, who do you think will win between the two of them?" A man in military uniform ran to Kukui and asked. If Zhuge Qingyun were here, he would definitely recognize this man as the one he met when he first met him. Sun Yifei, the new recruit who wants to join his team.
"No matter which one of them wins this battle, they will probably lose the next battle in the end!" Kukui looked at the two fighting and said something incomprehensible, and then began to eat to replenish his strength. Sun Yifei also followed. He started to eat on the side. Since he didn't know what to do anyway, he would just do the same thing as his captain.
An hour passed quickly. Zhuge Qingyun began to walk towards the rest area. After seeing Zhuge Qingyun walking towards him, everyone in the rest area also stood up and stood in line. They had been waiting for it and it was finally coming.
"First of all, congratulations on passing all the first-round selections. Next, we will proceed to the second-round selection of this special team."
"City Lord, don't we only have twenty people left? Then why do we still need to hold a trial?" Lin Baibai, who had just lost to Kentero in the battle, asked aloud. Although he lost to Kentero in the battle, But Lin Baibai was not hurt too much.
"There's no reason. If you don't want to participate, you can leave now." Zhuge Qingyun didn't explain at all. After saying that, he asked Qing Wu to bring over the ten unconvinced people.
After hearing what Zhuge Qingyun said, everyone immediately shut their mouths and stood quietly.
"Now I announce the selection rules for the second round. Each of the ten of them has a chance to challenge any one of you. Only the person who wins in the end will be the final candidate for this battle team." He already knew that he could challenge The ten people are all gearing up now, and they can no longer restrain their fighting spirit.
"Ah? Then why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had known I would have stopped fighting with Kentero just now." Lin Baibai complained, and he would definitely suffer a big loss in his current state.
"Did the enemy also notify you in advance that he was coming to attack you?"
"Or do you mean that every enemy will wait for you to be in the best condition before coming to fight you?" Zhuge Qingyun shouted with a cold face.
"Then..." Lin Baibai seemed to be arguing, but when he saw Zhuge Qingyun's angry eyes, he chose to shut his mouth, because this time it was himself who was wrong.
"Of course, if any of you who are defeated show up, I will give you another chance to challenge. Are there any questions now?" Zhuge Qingyun asked after scanning the faces of the remaining others.
"No!"
"Then let's get started. The ten of you can also choose your opponents!"
"That Bai Mao, I decided to choose you to be my opponent." The man who was defeated by Kukui shouted loudly. Others felt it was a pity that one of the best opponents was taken away. If he were It would also be nice to get the first chance to pick your opponent.
soon. The ten defeated people have all chosen their opponents, but what makes Zhuge Qingyun strange is that none of the three women in the team has chosen them as their opponents. Are these guys unwilling to bully girls? Or is it that these three women are too strong? It seems that I need to understand this matter carefully.
"Qingwu, go and bring me the information on these people. I want to take a look!" Zhuge Qingyun said to Qingwu who was standing aside.
"Okay, City Lord, I'll go right away." After Qing Wu said that, he left and ran to the information office to look for the information Zhuge Qingyun needed. After a while, Qing Wu got back a storage device, which was given by Li Ping'an. Personnel information.
"Ye Susu, the captain of the first team of the exploration team, is twenty-eight years old. He once fought against four high-level mutated Zergs at the same time and successfully eliminated them. His personal strength is at the peak of the star level." Zhuge Qingyun said lowly. He murmured, but he didn't expect that this tall woman was actually the captain of the first team of the exploration team, and she was a star-level master.
"The second one is Xu Wenzhu, who is twenty-five years old. His original position is the assistant to the military general staff. Zhuge Qingyun was stunned for a while after looking at the introduction of the second girl in front of him, and then said a simple sentence. Well, then no one will challenge her, and this girl is still a civil servant, so these guys shouldn't miss such an opportunity."
"Kukui, come here." Zhuge Qingyun also saw Kukui standing aside. He was not chosen as an opponent to challenge, so he was watching the battle in boredom.
"What are your orders, City Lord?" Kukui ran over in a hurry.
"You kid, be serious. I have something to ask you. Do you know this girl named Xu Wenzhu?" Zhuge Qingyun pointed at the woman in the information and asked. In addition to a cute photo, in one sentence, even the combat record was No, it's just a blank sheet of paper.
"I know Xu Wenzhu from the staff department. Is there something wrong with this person?" Kukui replied in confusion.
"How strong is this person? Do you understand him?"
Kukui also knew what Zhuge Qingyun wanted to ask, "Boss, I know this Xu Wenzhu quite well. She originally disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the combat troops. Later, she was discovered and transferred to the staff department. But regarding her strength, There are very few records of her, because it happened in the God of War City before, and her information should not have been brought here."
"In what age are we now, and women are still dressing up as men?" Zhuge Qingyun asked helplessly. He didn't expect that such a thing would still exist. Even if a woman joins the army, it is completely fine.
"That's because his father is the chief of staff of our combat force. The chief of staff loves his daughter very much and doesn't want her to join a dangerous front-line army like the combat force. So he has been blocking her. She has no choice but to be a talented woman. He was disguised as a man, but he was discovered later.”
"Then how come her fighting ability is so strong? So powerful that no one challenges her?" This is what Zhuge Qingyun is confused about. Although the opponent also entered the selection through two rounds of battles, from the perspective of overall strength, Aren't girls supposed to be easier to deal with than others?
"I think you should know, boss, just by looking at her." Kukui pointed at Xu Wenzhu who was standing aside.
"Good guy! No wonder no one dares to challenge." Zhuge Qingyun looked in the direction of Kukui's finger and found a tall woman standing about 1.8 meters tall, even taller than Kukui. He must be stronger, and his wheat-colored skin and muscles make the opponent even more wild. With his red braids, he looks like a fighting madman.
"Many people in my previous team were beaten by her, so no one from the military would go back to challenge her." Kukui said with a grimace. He was the one who was beaten the most, but he didn't No way, who can make himself unable to defeat the other party?
"Okay, I know, you go back!" Zhuge Qingyun also understood that this girl named Xu Wenzhu is a muscular lolita. Her face and facial features are so cute, but she is covered in tendons.
"Yes!" As for the third Zhuge Qingyun, there is no need to look at it. It is Luo Yun. Zhuge Qingyun did not expect that the other party would come to participate in the selection after knowing how dangerous the mission was. It seems that he underestimated this Luo Yun.
Soon, the winner was determined in the ten groups of duels. Among them, only Lin Baibai and another military man were defeated by the later challenger. The guy named Kentero after experiencing a battle with Lin Baibai , was able to win, but Zhuge Qingyun was impressed, this strong man was much stronger than he thought.
"Damn it, I don't accept it! If I hadn't just fought with that bison guy, I wouldn't have lost!" Lin Baibai yelled unconvinced.
"Then let me ask you, why can the bison defeat its opponent?" Zhuge Qingyun walked to Lin Baibai's side and asked.
"That's because he is stronger than me, so..." Lin Baibai couldn't explain the reason, and it seemed that it was his own problem first.
"Now except for the two of them, everyone else can leave here." Zhuge Qingyun waved his hand and asked Qing Wu to take away the eight defeated people, leaving Lin Baibai and the other defeated person on the training ground.
"I said I would give you a chance. You will choose your opponent in fifteen minutes. You can now go to the medical department to treat your body." After Zhuge Qingyun finished speaking, he continued to walk aside and wait.
Fifteen minutes later, the remaining Lin Baibai and one other person began to prepare. The others also began to prepare seriously, ready to accept the challenge of these two people. Although some people already understood that the challenge of these two people would probably fail.
"I want to challenge you." Lin Baibai walked up to Xu Wenzhu and said.
"Are you sure you want to challenge me?" Xu Wenzhu asked, looking at Lin Baibai standing in front of him. This time, his father took the initiative to let him participate in the selection, and also asked him to enter the selection no matter what, so he was absolutely He won't fail, and his strength should be known to many people. Just like this, he still chooses to challenge himself. This guy can't be out of his mind.
"That's right, it's you. Stop talking nonsense and come out and duel with me." After watching it for a long time, Lin Baibai felt that the woman with the twin tails was the weakest. Although the other person had a strong body, he was still a Women should not be their opponents.
"Very good, I accept your challenge!" Xu Wenzhu finally seized the opportunity. He had not demonstrated his abilities well before. This time he must impress Zhuge Qingyun who was watching the battle from a high platform. He admired Zhuge Qingyun very much. What he has done, and as long as he joins the combat team, he can always fight on the frontline battlefield. Let's use this guy to show his strength.
When Kukui on the side saw Xu Wenzhu's smile, he knew that this guy named Lin Baibai was going to be in bad luck.
"I choose Sun Yifei." Another military member chose Sun Yifei, because among all the people present, only Sun Yifei was similar in strength to his father.
"Now that everything has been chosen, let's get started. Don't waste time." Zhuge Qingyun also saw Li Ping'an coming over with Xu Junwei at this time.
"What, is Officer Xu here to cheer for his daughter?" Zhuge Qingyun asked after knowing that Xu Wenzhu was Xu Junwei's daughter.
"Lord Zhuge, I don't have the time to cheer her up, and whether she passes the trial is her own business. I came to you today because of the Zerg Legion outside the starry sky." Xu Junwei took out a star field defense map and said .
"Is this the defense map of the star field where Luoxing is located?" Zhuge Qingyun asked uncertainly. After all, he had only seen the star field defense map from a distance before, and it was not complete at that time.
"That's right, because there are a lot of Zerg troops appearing this time, and we still have enemies hiding in the dark, so I want to discuss with City Lord Zhuge and Lao Li how to implement this deployment." Xu Junwei said. He opened the defense map in his hand and didn't even look at Xu Wenzhu, who was fighting below.
"According to previous intelligence, the specific number of Zerg troops is 30 million, but our actual garrison in Falling Star City is only 700,000, and among them there are ordinary personnel who are ordinary maintenance workers." This is The most uncomfortable thing for Lin Ping'an is that it is difficult for ordinary firearms to cause damage to these mutated Zerg, so the only ones with real combat capabilities are the legion of more than 200,000 people with new weapons.
"How is this possible? Isn't Falling Star City a super big city with fifty armies? How can it have so little combat power?" Zhuge Qingyun remembered that Lin Ping'an had promised him before that thirty million Zerg legions would not be a problem.
"This. This." Lin Ping'an also felt embarrassed, and he did not expect such a problem to arise.
"Let me talk about this matter, because the weapons were not completely controlled by our military before, which resulted in a lot of false information." Xu Junwei told the story from beginning to end.
"These people really deserve to die. They even dare to fake such things." It turned out that a group of military leaders and weapons-making factories had embezzled the money. Because these people did not have large-scale wars occurred, so the weapons produced were shoddy. As a result, the new weapons currently available were only enough for more than 200,000 people, and even ammunition was not mass-produced. These people thought that on such a remote planet, There are no large-scale battles.
"Have the last group of people been dealt with?" Zhuge Qingyun asked sharply.
"We have all been found out, and now we have put all these people in prison, waiting for the battle to be dealt with." Lin Ping'an explained continuously.
"What are you waiting for? Pull all these people out and shoot them. Such people will be a scourge if they remain in the world." Zhuge Qingyun was really angry and gritted his teeth. No matter when, there are people like this who are trying to make money.
"I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good idea to shoot them directly. After all, they all have some cronies in the army. It wouldn't be a good idea to cause turmoil at this time!" Xu Junwei didn't expect Zhuge Qingyun to be so radical. No wonder he was on his way here. Lao Lin asked himself to put this incident in a tactful tone. He didn't care about it at the time, but now he finally understands it.
"Don't worry about this. We must kill the chicken now to scare the monkeys. Otherwise, we don't know what kind of trouble will happen in the future. If their cronies dare to cause trouble, they will all be kicked out of the army. In serious cases, they will be shot directly." What Zhuge Qingyun needs is an army that can fight. The army is not an army that forms cliques everywhere.
"Okay, just follow what you said. I will notify the whole army in the afternoon and send these people to the execution ground!" Lin Ping'an was also a person who had experienced strong winds and waves. He agreed with Zhuge Qingyun's idea with a grit of his teeth.
"Old Lin, why are you like this?" Xu Junwei originally wanted Lin Ping'an to persuade Zhuge Qingyun with him.
"Leave the weapons to my people. Later I will ask the people I brought to contact you and send you a list of required materials. Then you will fully cooperate."
"No problem, I'll go find someone from the research department later." Lin Ping'an knew what Zhuge Qingyun was capable of, so he quickly agreed.
"What about the deployment of defenses?" Xu Junwei realized that he had made the wrong question and came to Zhuge Qingyun. Not only did he not solve the problem of deployment of defenses, but he also caused a major purge in the army.
"Don't worry about setting up defenses. Without new weapons, even putting people on the battlefield will only lead to death. First, let the 100,000 people with new weapons be divided into four combat teams, and station a group of them on the battlefield in each direction of Luoxing. , the remaining people are patrolling in Falling Star City to prevent crowd commotion."
"Old Lin, just follow what Lord Zhuge said!"
"Okay, then I'll go back and make arrangements now!" Xu Junwei put away the defense map and turned around to leave. At this time, the winner of the competition in the audience had already been determined.
"Xu Wenzhu, Sun Yifei wins!" There was not much suspense, but what Zhuge Qingyun didn't expect was that Xu Wenzhu defeated Lin Baibai by crushing him. Lin Baibai was lying on the ground covering his face and crying. He looked like he had been bullied and beaten badly, with a black nose and swollen eyes.
"You are really brave, she is one of the best in our military." Kukui walked to Lin Baibai and sat down next to him, smiling.
"How did I know she would be so good at fighting? If I had known, I might as well have chosen someone else. She looks like a female tyrannosaurus!" Lin Baibai covered his face and cried. This is too embarrassing. Fortunately, there are no others. People are here, otherwise I would be so embarrassed.
"Qingwu, drag that guy out, and the rest of you will follow me." Zhuge Qingyun turned around and left after saying that, but when he passed by Xu Wenzhu, he looked at him twice more.
