From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 464
Chapter 464 Mercenary
Collecting spoils of war naturally wasn’t as much as Chen Guangda and the others. However, Chen Guang was not a good bird. Everyone stuffed their pockets and jackets full. Shang Jinzhong also turned a blind eye to this. However, Shang Jinzhong’s attention was obviously not on this. The battle that should have been certain had caused more than half of the casualties. No one knew how the Great Leader would handle this matter.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. The charge brigade escort ghosts were still cleaning up the battlefield, The corpses of the living and the living corpses had already been divided into two piles. They were piled up like small hills. Chen Guangda had also found a small iron box filled with green corpse worms in the bushes. It seemed that no outsiders had discovered the existence of this “great contributor”. Even the dead ghosts did not know what they had tossed out.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hide all the things in the bag. The people above are here to inspect …”
Wang Sanquan suddenly rushed up in a hurry. Everyone hurriedly stuffed the stolen goods into the bushes. Chen Guangda immediately looked forward in surprise. Two bulletproof military vehicles were approaching one after the other, followed by escort vehicles. Several cars almost drove straight into the field and stopped not far from them with a creak.
“The middle-aged man in the middle is Commander Wang Feng, Coiling Dragon Town’s chief ladyboy …”
Wang Sanquan introduced Chen Guangda with a thieving expression. Chen Guangda’s gaze immediately fell on a dignified middle-aged man. At first glance, this person seemed to be only in his forties, but his real age should be more than that. However, his body was very strong and sturdy. It seemed like it was the result of frequent exercise. He walked like a dragon walking like a tiger, and his entire body emitted a tough military style.
“Hello, Chief …”
Shang Jinzhong hurriedly rushed forward and stood at attention to salute Commander Wang. However, Commander Wang frowned deeply. He looked at the bloody corpses and asked, “What exactly happened?” “I gave you enough weapons, ammunition, and manpower. Even the criminals in the charge are still alive, but you’ve failed me. I need a reasonable explanation!”
“Commander! Punish me! I really deserve to die for being late in rescuing you. If I were a step faster, my brothers wouldn’t have died so badly …”
Shang Jinzhong clenched his fists with a face full of grief and indignation. Tears were still flickering in his eyes. Those who did not know the truth thought how heartbroken he was. However, Commander Wang looked around expressionlessly. He suddenly pointed at Chen Guangda and said, “Come over here and tell me everything from beginning to end.”
“Ah? Me …”
Chen Guangda was shocked. Shang Jinzhong’s eyes also revealed a hint of surprise. Chen Guangda had no choice but to run up and say honestly, “It’s Chief Tan who underestimated his enemies. He relied on the number of people and guns to keep charging in. Who knew that there were still many living corpses in the woods? They couldn’t resist rushing out all of a sudden. If Chief Shang hadn’t happened to bring people to surround us, we would have died here today!”
“Why are you still alive …”
Commander Wang put his hands behind his back and continued to examine Chen Guangda. His eyes were like scanners, Chen Guangda also knew that he couldn’t fool around with this matter, or else they would die unsightly if they were to self-defeat. He spread out his hands and said, “Officer Tan, he shot us and wanted the living corpses to bite us, so we ran into the building to hide. We won’t come out until the living corpses are all killed!”
“Something’s wrong! Things are definitely not that simple …”
Commander Wang expressionlessly shook his head. Shang Jinzhong’s expression changed slightly. Commander Wang pointed to the building in front of him and said, “There must be living people in that building. Otherwise, there would definitely not be so many living corpses here. Furthermore, I personally came to investigate the scene yesterday. If you want to enter the building, you must kill them. However, your casualties are actually smaller than our troops. This means that you must be lying!”
“Didn’t you guys force me to …”
Chen Guangda muttered to himself in a very unpleasant tone. Commander Wang immediately looked at him in surprise. Chen Guangda then said, “We did indeed kill from the corpses. Everyone here can testify for us, but do we dare to say that we killed so many living corpses?” In the end, not to mention not receiving a dime of bounty, perhaps even his head is going to move, it’s better to pretend that nothing happened! ”
“Do you think I am such a dishonest person? I can’t even pay a mere five kilograms of corpse bounty …”
Commander Wang sneered contemptuously, but the look on his face was much lesser. However, Chen Guangda immediately shouted in surprise, “Holy shit!” ‘”When did you get five kilograms of rice? Tan Miao kept telling us that it was two kilograms of rice. That bastard must have blackmailed our money. No wonder he shot us. He must be afraid that we would sue him!”
“Huh?”
Commander Wang furrowed his brows and looked at Shang Jinzhong with a frosty expression. However, Shang Jinzhong did not change his expression and said, “I have just been transferred to Tan Miao’s group. I am not too clear about the specific situation, but I have indeed heard what they said, because I cannot say anything nonsense without evidence!”
“Humph! You scum! You actually dare to deceive your superiors and conceal your subordinates at such a time. Don’t forget your honor as soldiers …”
Commander Wang angrily cursed, The soldiers all lowered their heads and didn’t dare to say anything. Commander Wang suddenly pulled off the military rank on Shang Jin Zhong’s collar and pointed at him and angrily said, “Don’t think that you’re fine just because you’ve just arrived. You only need to ask the prisoners below to know that giving you a crime of negligence is definitely not wrongful. Do you think so yourself?”
“Yes! Indeed, I overlooked it. I deserve it …”
Shang Jinzhong lowered his head in shame. Commander Wang coldly snorted and said, ‘”If it weren’t for the fact that you were in the middle of hiring someone, I would have directly killed you. But now, I’ll give you another chance to atone for your sins. You’ll immediately take over all of Tan Miao’s duties. There will be a few more tough battles waiting for you. If you do well, I’ll let you return to your original position. But you’re still so confused. Go be my leader!”
“Yes! This subordinate will die without hesitation and will definitely not disappoint the commander …”
Shang Jinzhong’s eyes instantly lit up fiercely. He hurriedly stood at attention and saluted Commander Wang. Although his rank had already been given, his position had directly changed from deputy to chief. Commander Wang was clearly giving him a promotion, a slap, and a sweet date to eat.
“What do you think of this brat? Can he use it …”
Commander Wang suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Guangda with a strange expression that looked like a smile but not a smile. After thinking for a while, Shang Jinzhong directly said, “Indeed, he is a rare talent. He forcefully turned a bunch of scum scum into a bunch of wolves. However, this brat’s wickedness, even if it was used, could not be of great use!”
“That’s right! It’s exactly the same as my evaluation …”
Commander Wang gently nodded and pointed at Chen Guangda. “I knew that this kid had two brushes since I saw him fight last night. But letting him go like this would be a waste of talent. I think we should let him be a mercenary. We’ll pay for each operation directly. Are you satisfied?”
“Are you guys talking to me? Then I definitely don’t want to. Isn’t paying by the way a dead ghost …”
Chen Guangda immediately shook his head like a rattle drum and became a mercenary for them. However, Shang Jinzhong pointed at him and shouted coldly, “Our commander thinks highly of you as a mercenary. What qualifications do you have to shake your head and refuse? Don’t forget that your two wives are still locked up with me. If you don’t understand, I’ll give them a good look first!”
“Oh? He and his wife are locked up. That’s perfect …”
Commander Wang looked at Chen Guangda playfully. He laughed like an old fox and then said, “A mercenary is not a deadly ghost. Although you have to participate in the operation, you have the right to retreat at any time. Moreover, I will give you guns in the face of a battle. Normally, I will not restrict your freedom. You should be satisfied now, right?”
“Alright! Then you can show more sincerity. What’s wrong with holding me two women …”
Chen Guangda nodded without hesitation. As long as Xia Fei is rescued, he will immediately run away with his men, Who cares if the commander is a mercenary, but Commander Wang waved his hand and smiled, “Don’t play tricks on me, kid. If you want to take your wife away, you can exchange it for merit points. However, I won’t treat them wrongly. I will arrange two positions for them in the logistics department, and I guarantee that no one will dare to bully them!”
“What a great achievement! You don’t want me to take back the city for you, do you?”
Chen Guangda looked at Commander Wang depressingly. If I had known, I would have let Xia Fei and the others escape first, However, Commander Wang smiled and said, “It’s not that exaggerated. The lost city isn’t something you can take back with just a few hundred people. I think that’s good. As long as you complete three major operations for me, not only will I return your two wives safely, I will also let you join our army as an officer and lead a team alone. How about it?”
“Haha ~ If you want to trick me into giving your life to you, just say it. Anyway, I am the meat on the chopping board now. You can cut it whatever you want …”
Chen Guangda grumbled and rolled his eyes. Although he seemed to be very resistant to this matter, he actually wanted to stay in Coiling Dragon Town for a period of time. Whether or not there were any experts who were still alive in Coiling Dragon Town, Chen Xiaoyao, who had been captured, was of great research value. If she really developed a corpse toxin antibody in her body, it would definitely be better than them running around the imperial capital.
“Haha ~ If you insist on saying so, it’s fine. Who told you that you are outstanding …”
Commander Wang raised his head and laughed loudly. After pointing at Chen Guangda, he turned around and got into the car. A few cars immediately returned to the city along the same route. However, Shang Jinzhong, who had watched them leave, turned around. He walked over to Chen Guangda and helped him straighten his collar. He said indifferently, “I have already done my best to help you gain benefits. Follow me well in the future and I will definitely not treat your little brother badly.”
“It’s useless to say this. My request is actually very simple. As long as you don’t unload the grindstone and kill the donkey …”
Chen Guangda expressionlessly looked at Shang Jinzhong. This person seemed to be loyal and loyal, but he also had a huge ambition. Shang Jinzhong nodded and said, “Don’t worry! As long as you don’t die, I won’t cause trouble for you. However, after returning, you will help me complete a mission and become Jin Weixun’s gang!”
