The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 125
Chapter 125 Clouds On All Sides
Duan De has his own family. Just like Yifan said, with his ability and rank, he can’t change these things.
Therefore, he could only silently endure the curses of everyone in the civilian area. He was willing to be scolded by those people. If he was scolded by them, he would feel much more at ease.
Those commoners weren’t idiots either. Don’t they know that Duan De couldn’t interfere? Don’t they know that Duan De’s two predecessors had died in this matter?
They also knew that Duan De couldn’t change anything, but they still scolded him. They just needed a vent.
Duan De was somewhat surprised by Yi Fan’s arrival. He knew that this senior colonel named Zhu Yifan was coming to recruit, but he didn’t expect that he would actually come personally.
In fact, Yifan did not need to personally come to this kind of thing. However, Yifan was still a little worried. Furthermore, he wanted to see if there were any evolvers hidden in this commoner area.
After all, as soon as some of his matters spread in the commoners’ area, those hidden evolvers would naturally stand out if they had any ideas.
When it came to recruitment, of course, Yi Fan and the others would not directly face all the survivors. Survivors had to go through three screening procedures before they could reach Yi Fan, Ji Ruoxue, Zhou Xin, and Qiang Zi.
The first three screenings were organized by Duan De and his people. What they wanted to do was to check their age, physical condition, and record the basic information.
This was an extremely large and tedious task. In any case, Duan De had quite a few subordinates. Most of his subordinates were his brothers who used to be in the Dao. Perhaps they were not good people, but they were better than his brothers. They were loyal enough to know what was going on.
After Duan De awakened his ability, they all worshipped Duan De as their eldest brother. At this moment, they were preparing to help Yifan guard the entrance.
Yi Fan looked at the ferocious looking burly men in the room. All of them had round arms and shoulders, dragons and tigers, but they were all wearing military uniforms, which made Yi Fan laugh.
He looked at Duan De worriedly and asked, “Can they do it? Don’t scare the survivors away for me.”
Duan De said with a serious expression, “How is that possible? They are all experts who collect usury, collect debts, and so on. I guarantee that this matter will be handled properly!”
Yifan stroked his forehead helplessly and said, “Alright, then I’ll hand over the first few checkpoints to you.”
“Oh, right, call that girl called Qin Wanyun over. He won’t have to participate in the selection anymore. Let her in directly.”
Duan De had also seen Qin Wanyun. He remembered that Yifan had said at that time that he had decided to internalize that girl. Perhaps he was pitiful to that girl.
Duan De nodded and left. Yi Fan and the others also started to prepare.
In fact, when the people who had passed the three tests arrived at Yifan and the others, they only took a simple look. Most importantly, Zhou Xin took a look.
Zhou Xin’s eyes had been groped out by him recently. According to his own words, as long as he focused his Qi and gathered his dark energy, he could vaguely see the strength of the dark energy on other people’s bodies.
For example, in his eyes, Yi Fan was like an azure crystal figure, with a faint mountain-like shadow behind him that emitted a sharp, awl-like aura.
Of course, this ability was extremely rare. It had been almost a month since the end of the world. As long as they were still alive, they had survived the first mutation of the Dark Ability attack and hadn’t become zombies.
Even those who didn’t attach themselves to the dark energy and didn’t react to the dark energy had been attacked for more than half a month. As of now, there were no ordinary people in this world. They had more or less some dark energy on them.
The strength or attributes of these dark energies could be considered to be their innate talent for evolution in a certain sense. If they were not activated by external forces, they would never be able to become evolvers. As for external forces, they were naturally flesh-intensifying and evolutionary potions.
Before evolution, the more dark energy his body contained, the better his body would be for the environment that contained dark energy, and the better his talent would be.
If Zhou Xin could see this, then in a sense, it was equivalent to being able to see other people’s evolving talent. Zhou Xin’s pair of eyes really made Yifan feel a little jealous.
However, they were still very free. Eight people walked out of the broadcast room. Outside were countless civilians. There was a long queue in front of dozens of tables. The few people who walked out of the broadcast room caused a sensation.
Duan De’s subordinates brought Yifan and the others to a tent area behind the broadcast room. Four side-by-side tents had already been cleaned out.
Yi Fan and the other four groups randomly set up their own seats and waited for the arrival of the candidates.
In his spare time, Yi Fan couldn’t help but wonder how Eyeglasses and the others were doing.
However, compared to Yifan’s leisure, the military was in complete chaos.
More than 30 bigwigs were killed by Zhou Weiguo and Wang Zhiyuan. Whoever did the work in their hands would be appointed immediately. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be long before everything would be messed up.
The three factions once again entered the conference room. They needed to immediately send people to take over those jobs. This matter fell into the hands of Zhou Weiguo, Wang Zhiyuan, and Huang Haibin. The three of them gave orders in the conference room one after another.
The messengers below quickly passed on the appointments, letting those people take over immediately, immediately taking over the job, and then the real battle between the three major factions began.
Who would be the leader of the three of them now? This time, the leader chosen was no longer Zhao Yewei. This time, the one chosen would be the true leader of the military base.
It was possible for all three parties, but none of them had the right to make such a decision. It could be said that neither party had the right to make such a decision. It was that Zhu Yifan, that terrifying and powerful existence who had the right to make such a decision.
What they needed to do now was to arrange everything on the military side, and then elect the person in power within three days. Of course, whether or not the person in power could take office smoothly, they would definitely have to pass that person.
After giving the orders, Zhao Yewei first said, “I won’t participate in the competition for power. Let Zhiyuan participate in our side!”
Huang Haibin was delighted once again. Once this old man gave up, no one would be able to compete with him. He secretly swept past the several big shots present. Other than that old man, his original prestige in the base.
Zhou Weiguo and Wang Zhiyuan were not far from him and everyone else.
Their prestige was equal. In terms of strength, they were now the strongest family. Of course, in the current situation, Zhou Weiguo and Wang Zhiyuan could join forces at any time. After all, this was not the first time they had fought. Each of them knew very well.
It was time for him to fight to the core. Wang Zhiyuan said, “The current situation is far beyond my expectations.”
“How about it? You two come up with a plan. This is the final battle.”
“If anyone wins this battle, then they will definitely be number one in this base in the future.”
Zhou Weiguo also echoed, “That’s right, in my opinion, let all the higher-ups of the military vote.”
“After all, no matter who takes that seat, they will have to deal with these higher-ups. The one who gets the most votes from the higher-ups will win.”
Huang Haibin smiled indifferently and said, “Haha, Team Zhou’s abacus is not bad. In terms of connections, I might not be as good as you in this army.”
“But since Team Zhou has said so, then let’s settle it. We’ll invite Major Zhu Yifan in three days. We’ll see if he’s here.”
“Since that’s the case, there’s nothing else to discuss now. I’ll see you here in three days.” Huang Haibin walked out of the conference room.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the Zhao squad and saw the empty entrance. He also stood up and said, “Then I’ll leave first.”
Zhou Weiguo left, leaving only General Zhao and Wang Zhiyuan in the meeting room.
Zhao Yewei said, “Zhiyuan, our side depends on you. If you fail, prepare to head south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.”
Wang Zhiyuan nodded calmly. This was their last retreat.
In Huang Haibin’s office, there were two people standing at this moment.
One of them was Huang Haibin, who had just entered the office, and the other was the captain of his werewolfhound squad.
Huang Haibin sighed and said, “Mastiff, tell me, why did you tell me that day not to get involved if you can’t?”
The mastiff was the man who was talking to the golden ring snake at the top of the mountain that day. He sighed and said, “Because of a person, a person whom I grew up in an orphanage with.”
“Who?” Huang Haibin asked.
The mastiff looked deeply at Huang Haibin and said, “Golden Ring Snake!”
Huang Haibin asked in surprise, “People from Zhou Weiguo? Did he tell you?”
Mastiff: “Yes! He is the vice-captain of Zhou Weiguo’s Thorn Snake Squad. He went out on a mission a while ago. Since then, I have seen a few other snakes.”
Huang Haibin seemed to be lost in thought and said, “What do you mean? That squad of Original Thorned Snakes has been completely annihilated. Since Zhou Weiguo knows how powerful Zhu Yifan is, why is he still going?”
The mastiff said indifferently, “I don’t know. He just reminded me not to provoke him or try to provoke him.”
Huang Haibin said, “Thank him for the chance. I really owe him this time. Otherwise, I will definitely do it!”
The mastiff said solemnly, “Our failure to go up has no effect on the outcome at all. The other party is no longer something we can shake!”
Huang Haibin sighed and said, “I know. By the way, I asked you to check Zhu Yifan’s preferences. Did you find out?”
The mastiff laughed and said, “Haha, this is interesting. This Zhu Yifan is a lecher, and it is said that he is not an ordinary lecher.”
Huang Haibin was also interested and said, “Oh, tell me, what kind of lecherous method is it?”
“Hahaha!” The mastiff couldn’t help but laugh and took out a piece of paper from his coat pocket. “This brat, I don’t know what to say about him. Look for yourself.”
