Yue Zhong gave the most lucrative assignments to the people he could trust: “Lu Wen will be responsible for the safeguard and distribution of goods. Da Gouzi, you will assist her.”
Da Gouzi beamed with joy, and clapped his chest pledging: “Yes! Brother Yue! I will certainly defend the resources for you.”
This time, Da Gouzi’s intelligence paid off. Yue Zhong must reward him. If not for Da Gouzi’s intel, several of the people that Yue Zhong rescued from Lei Jiang City would have died.
Goods and supplies allocations was indeed a lucrative post. When Da Gouzi obtained that appointment, the whole village looked highly upon him, not daring to offend him.
“Chi Yang is responsible for the first combat unit! Primary duty is to search for supplies. Ji Qingwu is responsible for the second combat unit! Wang Shuang is responsible for the third combat unit! Liu Yang is responsible for the fourth combat unit! Xiao Ming is responsible for the fifth combat unit! Units, tomorrow go out and enlist team members.”
“Newly recruited members belong to the outside personnel. After killing five ordinary zombies, outside personnel can promote to preliminary members. After preliminary members kill twenty ordinary zombies, they can be promoted to official team members.”
“Each unit captain will be official team members, and enjoy official team member treatment. Apart from all of you, the other current personnel will temporarily be preliminary members. After they accumulate sufficient achievements, they will be promoted.
Yue Zhong looked in the direction of Chen Yao, “Go and organize an interior affairs department, Chen Yao. Find and select a few subordinates. You’ll be responsible for miscellaneous matters.”
Yue Zhong recognized that Chen Yao was more suited to organizational and management duties, and lacked the innate combat capabilities of someone like Ji Qingwu. Furthermore, Qingwu wasn’t comfortable with Chen Yao participating in dangerous combat. Chen Yao would be more valuable to Yue Zhong off the battlefield than on it.
Chen Yao looked at Yue Zhong, and asked: “Yue Zhong, where will you stay? Could it be you aren’t going to the Long Hai City base?”
As soon as she spoke, everyone’s eyes rested on Yue Zhong. This matter was related to all of their futures. They all wanted to hear Yue Zhong’s reply.
Yue Zhong boldly stated: “I certainly want to go to the Long Hai City survivor base and continue exploring it. But before then, I must help settle down the hundreds of people in Always Bright Village. I cannot leave until my work here is done.”
It had been almost a month since Z-age began. Yue Zhong still hadn’t formed any long-term plans. He wasn’t thinking about migrating the Always Bright Villagers to Long Hai City’s survivor base even if they could take care of them. He was more interested in taking his people to search for friends and family.
In the face of catastrophic disaster, powerful regimes and powerful organizations are the things everyone relies on. The government is that powerful regime.
Chen Yao firmly stared at Yue Zhong and said, “Please! Arrange me into the second combat unit. I want to use my ability to battle.”
With Z-age, the world had changed. Talented and powerful people were more likely to survive now. Chen Yao had already come to see this reality. In Z-age, one could only rely on power.
“So be it,” Yue Zhong nodded reluctantly. He respected Chen Yao’s choice. After all, Chen Yao and Ji Qingwu both followed him through the enormous dangers in Lei Jian Shi. This left the matter of miscellaneous affairs unattended to, though.
Guo Yu, who was standing at Yue Zhong’s side, offered her services. “I’ll be responsible for the miscellaneous tasks. I can work hard.”
