Chapter 408: The Capital of the West (Part I)
All night, Chu Tianjiang didn't fall asleep.
In the second half of the night, after Nicol and the others fell asleep, Chu Tianjiang sat on the bed, staring intently at the ceiling. Chu Tianjiang didn't think about anything, and he was thinking about everything, he just felt that there was chaos in his mind. The huge contrast with the ideal makes this bloody and cruel world even more hideous and terrifying.
As it was almost dawn, there was a slight noise outside.
It must have been Connie who had come with women who weren't fit to be legionnaires.
Chu Tianjiang got up lightly and went outside to find Connie who had just arrived. After giving Connie some advice and doing her ideological work, Chu Tianjiang left the courtyard and found Andre who was washing, and asked him to call the Fukushima brothers and Samuel and others.
"Boss, do you have something for us to do?" Taro Fukushima was obviously a little flustered.
Chu Tianjiang nodded, and after letting them sit down, he said, "I'll give you a task, from today onwards, you will be the instructor of the legion." ”
"Instructor?" Samuel was surprised.
"I've hired you to be the instructor of the Legion, and you'll train Connie." Chu Tianjiang paused slightly and said, "The Fukushima brothers are in charge of martial arts training, mainly in equipment fighting. Samuel and Makqin are in charge of shooting and tactics, Patrick and Rex are in charge of fitness and strength, and the four of you are in charge of hand-to-hand combat training. When training, you don't have to treat them like women, they are all soldiers of the legion, and the warriors are both men and women. It's just that, outside of training, you have to respect them. ”
"Understood!" Samuel nodded first in agreement, and the other five people immediately said that they understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
"Give them enough pressure, don't be afraid of hurting them, as long as they don't die, don't lack arms and legs, and let them suffer a little when necessary."
"This ......"
"The principle is simple, injuries are inevitable, but you have to avoid disability as much as possible, understand?"
"Understood!"
"Focus on training the first fifty members of the legion, no matter what method you use, you have to make them real warriors in the shortest possible time."
"How much time do we have?"
"A month, maybe less than a month."
Samuel frowned and said, "It's too short, but we'll try." ”
"Alright, you guys go and prepare, the training starts today." Chu Tianjiang glanced at the six people and said, "Samuel is the chief instructor and is responsible for arranging the training. My suggestion is to divide them into six companies of recruits, one for each of you, and take turns in the various trainings. ”
Samuel nodded, indicating that he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
When Samuel and the others came out, Chu Tianjiang called Andre over.
"Boss, it's not appropriate to let Samuel and them train the legion, right?"
"It's a test for them, and Connie has more opportunities to learn. Could it be that I was left to train them alone, tired and half dead every day? Chu Tianjiang smiled bitterly and sighed, and said, "You are very powerful, but you don't understand the army, and you can't be an instructor." ”
Andre also sighed, this is a fact, otherwise he would have taken the initiative to ask for help.
"Today, I'm going to take Nicol and her sisters to Denver."
"I'll pack up and leave right away."
"No, you have to stay, and Clara has to stay here too."
"This ......"
"You three, make sure there's someone by Clara's side at all times. If we don't come back in the evening, you'll have to take turns keeping vigil outside the compound. ”
Andre nodded, indicating that he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
"Put this on the middle finger of your right hand." Chu Tianjiang created an energy ring at the fastest speed.
"It's ......"
"Energy ring, when you encounter danger, you can contact me."
When Andrei put on the ring, Chu Tianjiang taught him how to control the ring with his mind, and then gave him two more rings for Leonid and Valentin.
"You still have a mission these days."
"What?"
"Tell Connie to design the Legion's uniform as soon as possible, and wait for me to come back so that I can make it official. Also, when your combat training begins, you talk to the Fukushima brothers about coming up with a fighting weapon that fits them. If you can, go to the merchant and order a batch. ”
"No problem, I'll do both."
"You three brothers, are you used to living here?"
Andre was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "People like us, wandering around, live the same everywhere. ”
"Do you want me to arrange for a few people to wait on you?"
"Boss, this ......"
"I'm starting to come and see, you haven't even made breakfast. These days, I went to Denver with Nicole and them, and you have more things to do, and it must be very inconvenient that no one takes care of your daily life. Well, I'll let Clara pick three of them to take care of your day-to-day life. ”
"This ...... That's not big, is it? ”
"What's so bad? Besides, Ajelina, they didn't forbid you to look for women outside. If it's appropriate, take it back with you when the time comes. ”
"Boss ......"
"So it was decided."
Chu Tianjiang ignored Andre anymore, returned to the courtyard to find Clara, and told Andre about him. Clara immediately understood what Chu Tianjiang meant, and selected six women who were over eighteen years old, and asked them to take charge of Andre's daily life, but they still lived in the courtyard.
After arranging these things, Chu Tianjiang took Nicol and the others to set off.
Because it was a bright and bright trip to Denver, Chu Tianjiang asked Andre to arrange a seven-seater off-road vehicle, and greeted Tamara who was guarding outside the gate when he set off. When Chu Tianjiang drove out of the area in an off-road vehicle, Samuel had already organized more than 1,000 legion members and divided them into six recruit companies according to Chu Tianjiang's orders, each instructor was responsible for a recruit company, and carried out rotation training.
Lakewood is next to Denver, and the driving distance from downtown Lakewood to downtown Denver is less than 30 kilometers.
If Lakewood is a decent medium-sized city, Denver is a veritable big city, and it is the only big city that Chu Tianjiang has seen since he came to the United States for the second time. Compared to Denver, not to mention Salt Lake City, which is like a garbage dump, even the seemingly bustling Las Vegas can only be regarded as dilapidated, and it is not even qualified to be called a city!
Denver's first impression of Chu Tianjiang was that the impact of the catastrophe was minimal.
Although after arriving in the city center, Chu Tianjiang found that Denver had also been severely damaged, such as many traces of repair on the roads and cracks in the walls of some buildings, but the damage caused by the catastrophe to the city had been repaired and covered up as much as possible. All the high-rise buildings have been rebuilt with glass curtain walls, roads, sewers, street lights and other public facilities have been restored, even the traffic lights at intersections are working normally, and there are many police cars and "policemen" wearing uniform on the road.
Here, it is not the inhabitants of the city who seem out of place, but the merchants from outside.
After driving around the city for a long time, Chu Tianjiang made a new discovery, that is, Denver is more like an isolated city, and the people who live here do not seem to have experienced a catastrophe, have not suffered from the invasion of DNA viruses and extraterrestrial civilizations, and everyone's dress is not much different from before the catastrophe. If there is a difference, the first is that the proportion of women is obviously high, about 70%. The second is that there are a lot of public phone booths on the side of the road, and there are a lot of people using public phones. Also, there are far fewer vehicles than they were before the cataclysm, and most of them have traces left when they were damaged during the cataclysm.
Of course, the caravans from other places also declared that Denver was just an island in the middle of the ocean.
"When are you going to take us to?"
"It's our first time in Denver, so we naturally need to get acquainted with the city first."
"It's you, not us, who came to Denver for the first time." Rachel glanced at Chu Tianjiang and said, "Several of us have been to Denver before. ”
"Denver now, is it still the same as it was a few years ago?"
"Almost, the streets haven't changed much, most of the tall buildings are there, but some of the buildings are missing, and there are far fewer vehicles than before."
"You know Denver well?"
Rachel rolled her eyes and said, "You're still an agent of the Military Intelligence Agency, don't you know that Denver is the western administrative center of the United States?" The CIA, the Homeland Security Agency, the FBI, and many other Western Divisions of federal agencies are located here. In the past, when we were training and working for the CIA, we were all here and all over the streets. ”
"Okay, then let's find a place to stay."
"Turn left, turn right again at the third junction, King Hotel."
"How's that place?"
"It used to be called the King's Hotel, but when you drove by, I saw that it has changed its name now, and it seems to be called 'Noah's Ark'."
"The Ark Hotel." Maya, who was sitting in the back row, corrected Rachel's statement.
"Yes, the Ark Hotel." Rachel nodded and said, "The National Defense Hotel used to be famous, and it was also one of the largest local hotels in Denver, with the best rooftop restaurant in the city, and the largest rooftop swimming pool in the city, but that place was definitely not cheap. ”
"Auntie, you can become the richest woman in this world at any time, do you still care about this?"
Rachel was stunned for a moment, then laughed. They are able to make their own diamonds, and of course they don't have to care if the hotel is expensive.
When Chu Tianjiang drove to the gate of the Ark Hotel, he hadn't attracted attention, and even the doorman standing at the door didn't immediately come to greet him. The main thing is that the body of the Grand Cherokee driven by Chu Tianjiang is full of dust, and there is a very strange exhaust pipe on the front of the car, which is very similar to a free mercenary who travels from south to north. It's just that when Nicol and the others got off the bus one by one, the doorman's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. In addition to their amazing beauty, the way they dress, as well as the jewelry on their bodies, show that they are not ordinary people.
