Her voice, though soft, was like a heavy hammer striking a drum, instantly shocking everyone present.
Chang Wei's previously calm face instantly turned serious. He stood up, his gaze fixed on Shiina Chizuru, as if trying to see right through her: "Arsenal? How did you know?"
Nakano Tensei, Okino Yoko, and others also stood up, their eyes filled with shock and confusion as they looked at Shiina Chizuru.
This news was undoubtedly a bombshell, enough to change their fate.
394 The new captain, Shiina Chizuru
A group of survivors hurried past on the desolate ruins, their faces etched with deep shock.
They originally only hoped to join a certain force, but they never expected that Chizuru would hold such a heavy secret.
This news was like a thunderbolt, instantly stirring up a storm in everyone's hearts and turning their world upside down.
Chizuru stood before the crowd, her eyes firm and bright, as if they could pierce through this chaotic world.
"I know the location of an arms depot."
She spoke calmly, her voice soft yet striking everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
“My father told me this, but he chose to pass the secret on to me.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Chang Wei's eyes, and he burst into laughter:
"Haha, God is really helping me!"
He secretly rejoiced, never expecting that this unintentional act would bring him such important information.
He turned to Chizuru, his eyes filled with admiration and anticipation.
"what do you want?"
He asked, his voice serious.
He knew that although he had the ability to force Chizuru to reveal her secret, he preferred to make a fair deal with her because he knew that such a deal would be more sustainable and stable.
Chizuru pondered for a moment, then raised her head, her eyes firm yet gentle.
"I want to live here."
She spoke softly, as if expressing a simple and pure wish.
Chang Wei was slightly taken aback after hearing this, then nodded.
"Alright, in that case, I will appoint you as the deputy head of logistics, with the same salary as the team leader."
He looked at Chizuru, his eyes filled with admiration and expectation.
Then he turned to Tokugawa Kōtō, the powerful evolved being.
He knew that Tokugawa Takeshi's addition would be a great help to them.
"Sir, what are your plans now?"
He asked, his voice filled with sincerity and longing.
Tokugawa Kōtsu glanced at Chizuru, a hint of doting in his eyes.
He gave a wry smile and said to Chang Wei, "Since Qianhe has chosen to stay here, then I will stay too. I just hope that Chief Chang Wei will spare me a meal."
His words were filled with helplessness and determination. He had come to regard Chizuru as his own family, so it was impossible for him to leave alone.
Chang Wei was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He was well aware of Tokugawa Kōtō's strength and potential, and his joining would undoubtedly be a great help to them.
"Haha, Brother Hong choosing us means he thinks highly of us."
He smiled and said, "In that case, I appoint you as the captain of the Sixth Battalion, with a staff of fifty men under your command. You can recruit them yourself!"
His voice was full of determination and expectation, as if he could already see their future glory.
In the dimly lit conference room, Chang Wei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile once again.
He extended his finger and waved it lightly in the air, as if imbuing it with some mysterious power: "Tokugawa Kōtake, from now on, you will be the captain of this team."
Upon hearing this, Tokugawa Kōtake's eyes lit up, and he was so excited he almost jumped up. He quickly gave a military salute and spoke in a loud voice:
"Thank you for your appreciation, Captain. Tokugawa Kōtō will certainly live up to your expectations!"
He followed the example of others, addressing Chang Wei respectfully as "Captain," his words filled with reverence.
Sato, Yoko Okino, Tensei Nakano, and others witnessed this scene and understood Chang Wei's intentions.
They had no objection to Chang Wei's decision, nodded in tacit agreement, and then instructed their subordinates to gather all the management personnel to prepare for an important meeting.
Among this group, another group of survivors who had followed were filled with resentment and anger.
When they saw that Chang Wei did not treat them the same way, a sense of injustice welled up in their hearts.
"Why should we? We want to stay here too!"
Mingjian shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty conference room.
"That's not fair! If Chizuru can be here, why can't we?" Another young master followed suit, angrily waving his arms.
However, Chang Wei seemed not to hear their roars. He glanced at them coldly, his voice icy and firm:
"Only those at the vice-captain level or above can stay here. You guys? You're still a long way off."
Upon seeing this, Nakano Tensei immediately signaled his subordinates to take the two away from the conference room.
A subtle glint of cunning flashed in his eyes, as if he had already understood Chang Wei's intentions.
Although Chizuru and Tokugawa Hirotaka felt somewhat reluctant, they understood that it was Changwei's decision and they could not interfere.
They knew in their hearts that although Ming Jianyi and his companion came from prestigious families, they were of no use here.
They lacked the leadership skills of Tokugawa Kōtake, Chizuru's special abilities, and formidable martial prowess.
Therefore, they could only be relegated to the lowest rungs of society.
Soon, as Nakano Tensei gathered everyone in the conference room, Chang Wei began to introduce the armory and the identities of Chizuru and the other person.
His words were full of confidence and determination, making everyone present feel his authority and power.
"An armory? That's fantastic!" Everyone cheered upon hearing this.
They knew that as the number of people increased and the fighting became more frequent, the consumption of bullets also increased.
The arrival of the armory will undoubtedly greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.
However, amidst the cheers, Ming Jianyi and his companion were deathly pale and heartbroken.
They understood that they could never go back to that carefree life they once had.
Here, they can only accept reality and their status—the lowest level of people.
In the remote outskirts of Qingshui County, there lies a forgotten armory, like a meteorite waiting to be unleashed, quietly awaiting the moment it is awakened.
Although Shadow and the others were injured in the battle, they were like phoenixes in the flames, their fighting spirit not only undiminished but increased. When they were gathered together, their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation for the unknown challenges.
"Gentlemen, we are like ships adrift on a vast ocean, and ammunition is our sail. If we possess those advanced weapons, our strength will be greatly enhanced, at least doubling!"
Chang Wei's words resonated deeply, like a seed that took root and sprouted in everyone's hearts.
"That's exactly right. The road ahead is full of thorns, and only powerful weapons can help us overcome them and pave a broad road to glory!"
Everyone echoed his sentiments, their gazes fixed firmly on Chang Wei, as if they had seen a beacon of hope.
Chang Wei smiled and turned to Chizuru, a woman of refined beauty. She spoke softly, "Miss Shiina, could you point us in the right direction regarding that armory? Our future and hope lie there."
With a whoosh, everyone's eyes were focused on Chizuru. She felt unprecedented pressure, but her eyes remained as calm as autumn water.
She parted her lips slightly and said, "The armory is located a hundred miles away from Qingshui County. My father told me about it. There is a battalion of equipment there. I can show you the way."
A glint of light flashed in Chang Wei's eyes. He was worried that things might get complicated if he waited too long, so he made a decisive decision: "We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning. Time is of the essence, and I'm worried that the armory will fall into the wrong hands."
Chizuru confidently replied, "Captain, please rest assured. The armory is located in an extremely remote area in the suburbs, and only a few people know of its existence. I will personally lead the way and ensure that everyone arrives safely."
Chang Wei nodded and turned to Ishihara Satomi: "Ishihara Satomi, arrange two rooms for them, and treat them according to the standards for a team leader."
Satomi Ishihara readily agreed, knowing that this showed Chang Wei's high regard and trust in them.
395 Expedition, Level 7 Zombie Legion!
Finally, Chang Wei pondered for a moment and made a decision:
"Ai Hoshino, Ada Wong, Kenji Shima, and Saya Takagi, the four of you will come with me. The rest of you will stay at the base due to your injuries and get some rest."
However, a firm voice rang out from the crowd:
"Captain, I want to participate in this operation too!"
That was the voice of the shadow. Though he was injured, his eyes shone with an indomitable light.
Tokugawa Kōtake's eyes gleamed with unwavering determination, and his strength, second only to Tokugawa's, made Tokugawa Kōtake yearn to fight alongside him.
Chang Wei nodded slightly, agreeing to his request, and at the same time, he saw the broken Tang sword in Hoshino Ai's hand.
"Xiao Ai, your knife is broken. Go get a new one later."
Chang Wei gave a soft instruction.
