Chapter 096: Frequent Appearances
"Chen Ning, congratulations on your promotion to the third rank and to the second lieutenant!"
Major One-Eyed Dragon personally helped Chen Ning put on the new epaulettes, which were one-pole and one-star second lieutenant epaulettes, and also symbolized Chen Ning's previous heroic act of killing Cerberus and killing Frieza, and was heavily rewarded by his superiors.
Chen Ning's mood was not as excited as he imagined, he glanced at the small mound next to the stronghold of the ninth group, where the bodies of the former team leader Baoqiang and deputy group leader Li Wen were buried, and calmly said that the honor belongs to all the soldiers of the ninth group.
Now, Chen Ning has somewhat understood what Major One-Eyed Dragon said before, his brother is buried here, he can't leave, and he has to stay here forever.
The one-eyed dragon then put on the sergeant's epaulettes for the Bull Demon King, and the two rookie fighters in the ninth group, Li Qiang and Shi Hao, put on the sergeant's epaulettes.
Before this commendation, Chen Ning, the Bull Demon King, Li Qiang, Shi Hao, and a few of them were still corporals, but Chen Ning was promoted to three levels in one breath and directly became a lieutenant. And the Bull Demon King also achieved the feat of two promotions and two levels, and even Li Qiang and Shi Hao, who did not participate in the battle, but only assisted in releasing signal flares and then retreated according to the regulations, were also promoted to the rank of one level.
Originally, Chen Ning and their ninth group stronghold were attacked by a small-scale zombie group, which made the morale of the new soldiers plummet, but just when this person was panicking, Major General Qin Que's commendation arrived, and the other Black Storm troops were stunned one by one when they knew the commendation Chen Ning had received.
At this rate of promotion, it is really not impossible to become a major in half a year!
So, everyone is full of fighting spirit and passion again, in fact, those who came to be soldiers are not really afraid of death, they are afraid that they will not get huge benefits by risking huge risks, and now it seems that the danger here is very great, but the benefits are also very great, so everyone is not afraid, let it go, see if they can grit their teeth and insist on surviving, and finally be able to mix with officers when they are transferred.
After the one-eyed dragon gave Chen Ning a few promotions, he talked to Chen Ning privately, he intended to transfer Chen Ning to the base of Black Storm, which was relatively safe, and asked Chen Ning what he meant?
The Black Storm base is the heart of this forward outpost, responsible for the unified command of the first to twentieth groups of strongholds and the work of the soldiers, basically if the zombies attack, the first to the twentieth group of these strongholds will be attacked, and then to the base command office of the Black Storm.
Major One-Eyed Dragon is also a talent who cherishes Chen Ning, and does not want Chen Ning to be in the most dangerous position, so as not to sacrifice Chen Ning.
But Chen Ning shook his head: "No need, I still decided to stick here, you just said before, Major, my brother is buried here, I can't go." β
Hearing this, the one-eyed dragon nodded: "Okay, but be careful in everything, no one knows when those beasts in Zombie City will come again, and they don't know what scale and strength they will be when they come again." If the disparity between the enemy and our strength is too great, then you can send signal flares to inform the rear, and then retreat, which I have granted you. β
Chen Ning snorted, and then made a request to the one-eyed dragon and said, "Sir, you see that our group was originally a group of ten, but now six brothers have been sacrificed, and only me, the Bull Demon King, Li Qiang, and Shi Hao are left." Let's see if you can give us the ninth group a little more manpower. β
The one-eyed dragon shook his head: "I'm afraid not, because there is no extra manpower, and if we want to replenish the team members, then we have to wait for the next training base to send new people over, and when those good troops are selected, it will be our turn to select Black Storm." β
When Chen Ning heard this, he originally wanted to ask why?
But after all, he didn't ask, because he vaguely guessed that the top deliberately sent those crooked melons and cracked dates here, maybe it was serious, these soldiers were garbage, and if they were sent here, they could play a little role, even if they died, they would not be a pity.
Chen Ning felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, it was not very good to be treated as garbage by others.
The one-eyed dragon said a few more words to Chen Ning, and then left with his own soldiers.
At this time, Li Qiang and Shi Hao took turns to sentry on the newly built lookout.
The Bull Demon King entered the room with two bottles of pineapple beer and handed one of them to Chen Ning: "This is one of the materials that the top has appreciated for us, and this thing can also be called beer?
Chen Ning took it, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "It is not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, this pineapple beer is to relieve the cravings of those alcoholic guys, and it can keep these soldiers from getting drunk, so as not to affect the battle when there is a fight." β
The Bull Demon King took a sip of beer, and then asked Chen Ning: "Brother, you have someone to ask Major One-Eyed Dragon, what does he say?"
"Nobody, the Black Storm Force has always been understaffed, and if you want to replenish the team, you have to wait for the next training base to send new fighters. β
"Damn, from now on, this stronghold will only be guarded by the four of us. β
"yes!"
The Bull Demon King was silent when he heard this, he was imagining, if there was a zombie like Frieza next time, would this ninth group stronghold still be able to hold it, and would a few of them be able to survive?
The Bull Demon King raised his head, looked at Chen Ning, and said in a sullen voice, "Brother, there is something I have to talk to you about now." β
Chen Ning could vaguely guess what the Bull Demon King wanted to say, and he blinked: "Okay, you say." β
The Bull Demon King said angrily: "Next time if there is danger, you will stun me again, and if you don't want me to fight side by side with you, I will ...... I ......"
"What do you do?"
"I'll turn my face with you, and I don't recognize this brother. β
Chen Ning smiled when he heard this, and patted the Bull Demon King on the shoulder: "Okay, next time I will definitely not knock you out, we brothers will fight side by side." β
When the Bull Demon King heard Chen Ning's words, he was satisfied, with a sincere smile on his face, and touched Chen Ning's wine bottle with his wine bottle to say cheers.
The two of them drank a bottle of pineapple beer, and then the Bull Demon King went to take charge of Zhang Luo's lunch, and Chen Ning began to practice the Tiger Ben Technique. After coming here, Chen Ning realized that his strength was far from enough, only a sixth-level Frieza came a few nights ago, if it was a seventh-level Titan Zombie, or an eighth-level Demon Apostle, or even a ninth-level Blade Wolf Rider, then it was estimated that even if he used the power of the Scarlet Tyrant, it would be very dangerous.
Because although the Scarlet Tyrant's original strength was level 11, he was almost fatally injured in the Great War, and he has not yet been able to recover. Before, in Vermilion Bird City, the blood-colored tyrant possessed Chen Ning, so he could only exert the strength of a seventh-level general.
Now that the Scarlet Tyrant has recovered a little more, Chen Ning's body is also much stronger, but if Chen Ning uses the power of the Scarlet Tyrant, the combination of the two can at most exert the strength of an eighth-level general.
Besides, the old man of the Scarlet Tyrant is so bad, if you give him control of your body, maybe it will take the opportunity to take it?
Iron also needs to be hard!
So Chen Ning began to strengthen his cultivation, but since he was promoted to the rank of general, the spiritual lake has become a spiritual riverbed, and the two iron towers of the black and white martial veins have also become taller, and the dry riverbed wants to be filled with the water of force, which is really not something that can be done overnight, Chen Ning can only persevere, and accumulate a lot.
This is a subjugated area, deserted, and even animals are rare.
After all, nuclear weapons have been dropped here, and there are tens of millions of zombies here, and there are living animals, which are estimated to have been bitten by zombies a long time ago.
This made Chen Ning very distressed, he wanted to use the devouring technique to collect blood, and take a shortcut to improve and light up the martial vein node, but it would not work for the time being.
For most of the next half month, the strongholds of the forward outposts where Black Storm was stationed would be attacked by zombies every day or two, although most of them were zombies below level six, but many of the Storm Warriors still died.
The battle report here will be sent to the office desktop of Qin Que, the big tent in the Black Fortress Army, every three days, which also causes Qin Que to see the name that appears the most in the battle report in this month, which is Chen Ning!
"Second Lieutenant Chen Ning, successfully resist the zombie attack and kill the fifth-level hellhound!"
"Second Lieutenant Chen Ning, reinforce the tenth group of strongholds in time and kill two predator zombies and one assaulter zombie!"
"Second Lieutenant Chen Ning, successfully defended the stronghold, and killed three predator zombies by himself!"
β¦β¦
Even Zhang Bin, the secretary general of the immortal bird, couldn't help but say to Qin Que: "Chen Ning, this guy really deserves to be the butcher's protΓ©gΓ©, we should have put him in the Iron Wings in the first place, but it's a pity." β
The Iron Wings are Qin Que's guards, she originally disliked Chen Ning's bad conduct and did not reuse it, but she didn't expect Chen Ning to frequently appear in battle reports, which she didn't expect.
But as a leader, you will never admit your mistake!
So Qin Que snorted coldly and said, "I don't think there's any pity, why don't you just kill a few low-level zombies, what's the big deal?"
