Chapter 818: Appointing Leng Yebai as Vice Captain

The car door was eventually opened.

As soon as the car door was opened, Bai Xiqin was dumbfounded.

"Captain Zhang, did you get into a fight with Xiao Ming?"

Captain Zhang’s clean suit was covered with dust, looking rather filthy.

The gold-rimmed glasses had a crack, and the lens was dangling, seemingly on the verge of falling off.

A patch on his gentle and fair face was swollen and red, even making his eyes appear smaller.

"No, it’s nothing, just tripped while walking."

Captain Zhang held his waist as he silently boarded the bus, sitting down on the sofa.

He felt embarrassed to admit he was hit by a car; it was too humiliating.

"Ha! The dignified Alliance Captain can trip while walking, how embarrassing."

Leng Yebai’s mouth twitched downward, his voice somewhat chilling.

Now, Zhang Yiming was no longer the most annoying option; Captain Zhang had taken first place.

Never seen someone so oblivious before!

"No worries, I’m resistant to falls!"

Captain Zhang grinned, seeing Leng Yebai looking upset, he felt instantly delighted.

If he could split them up, he would. If Leng Yebai was dumped, he felt he could work to become an honorable backup.

If all else failed, he could become a kept man, which was also fine.

For the survivors, he wouldn’t hesitate to sell his charm; it’s glorious, eternal!

He could accept the conclusion of beginning and ending with Xiao Niu, with a substantial compensation of supplies!

Eagerly waiting to be ruined, to be let down!

"What are you doing here, if you have business, go find Leng Xiao!"

Leng Yebai’s gaze was extraordinarily cold, almost turning Captain Zhang into an ice sculpture.

"I’m here for you, with a very important matter to discuss."

Captain Zhang casually picked up a crystal core from the table and began absorbing it.

The crystal core instantly turned to powder, and the swelling on Captain Zhang’s face disappeared at a visible rate.

"What matter?"

Leng Yebai swiftly stashed the table’s crystal cores into the drawer, actions were particularly adept.

Captain Zhang raised an eyebrow but didn’t mind, with a slight flick of his finger, the drawer’s crystal core floated out and landed steadily in his hand.

Another crystal core turned to crumbs, and the scars on Captain Zhang’s face were completely invisible.

"I want you to become the Survivor Alliance’s vice-captain, the rank and authority just below mine."

Captain Zhang took off his gold-rimmed glasses, cleaned them, and put them back on, speaking solemnly.

Upon hearing Captain Zhang’s words, Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai were momentarily stunned.

The Alliance wasn’t a regional or national alliance.

It’s a global Human Survivor Alliance.

The vice-captains include Base Commander Leng and strong figures from other countries and regions.

Just looking at Base Commander Leng, one could tell the other vice-captains’ strength is definitely not below sixth rank superpower.

But Leng Yebai’s strength is only fifth rank.

Even if he were to explode in power, able to defeat superpower users above fifth rank, his strength among the vice-captains isn’t enough.

It doesn’t seem like a prudent choice.

"No."

Leng Yebai refused without a second thought.

If he were solo, he might try saving the world or something, but now he’s with family, he doesn’t want to.

Moreover, Xiao Niu has too many secrets; if he steps out into the spotlight, Xiao Niu’s exposure risk increases.

Even though his family is already very strong, there are still stronger opponents outside, better to be cautious.

"The vaccine is nearing completion; I’ve talked with Zhang Yiming. In the future, humanity can form a visible peace with zombies. By then, humans will need a decisive leader, and you’re the most suitable person." Captain Zhang stated.

"Since you’re the captain, surely you’re the most suitable. Are you suggesting you’re ready to die young?"

Leng Yebai remained unmoved.

He enjoys spending time with his family; he can act in crises but doesn’t want to take everything on.

Upon hearing Leng Yebai’s retort, Captain Zhang smiled, neither angry nor showing any other expression.

"Both humans and zombies share this land, no matter how peaceful it appears, people still harbor fear, and you, having once turned into a zombie and now human again, with your special brainwaves, once you breakthrough to sixth rank superpower, you can re-control brainwaves like the Zombie King to govern the zombie hordes; at that time, having someone who can control zombies among humans will provide reassurance."

"Besides, your future achievements won’t be inferior to mine."

Captain Zhang spoke blandly.

"I didn’t know upon reaching sixth rank I could command zombie hordes." Leng Yebai furrowed his brow.

After returning to human form, he indeed sensed a bit of brainwaves but couldn’t control them like Bai Xiqin.

"The sixth rank is a watershed; upon reaching sixth rank superpower, the crystal core in the brain will undergo a qualitative leap. Whether human or zombie, the energy wave frequency of the brain’s crystal core will change from before. If a person has once been infected with the zombie virus, they might possess the ability to control zombie hordes."

Captain Zhang glanced at Bai Xiqin as he spoke,

"Of course, there are some special individuals who, even without zombie infection or reaching sixth rank superpower, can control zombies through brainwave training, but none are as straightforward as the Zombie King controlling hordes."

"Captain Zhang’s ability to foresee the future is impressive, but we already have a vice-captain at home, whether or not I’m included makes no difference."

Leng Yebai said indifferently.

He didn’t have much rapport with certain people in the Alliance, still dwelling on impressions of Fang Jin and Fang Yuanyuan.

Anyway, as long as Base Commander is vice-captain, regardless of Alliance developments, if Base Commander is involved, he wouldn’t stand by idly.

Whether he becomes vice-captain, it holds little significance.

"Alright, I understand." Captain Zhang saw Leng Yebai unmoved and wasn’t planning to say more, but instead looked at Bai Xiqin with a bright smile, "May I ask, do we have a radio here?"

Captain Zhang smiled warmly, his eyes bright.

He even struck a pose he considered quite handsome.

Even older men can be charming.

He refused to believe his charm couldn’t win over young girls, garnering some benefits!

"Yes."

Bai Xiqin didn’t notice Captain Zhang’s gesture, instead took out the radio and placed it on the table.

Static crackled...

Captain Zhang turned on the radio and tuned it to the dedicated Alliance frequency.

Once tuned, a gentle female voice emerged from the radio.

"Hello everyone, announcing a message; following Alliance internal voting, Yunhua Safety Base’s Leng Yebai is appointed as the Alliance’s vice-captain, granting him authority greater than the other ten vice-captains. It’s believed powerful Mr. Leng can lead along with other captains to bring this apocalypse to an end and..."

Following the Chinese announcement, it was translated into other international languages.

The voice from the radio caused Leng Yebai’s forehead veins to pulse.

"How did you vote? Do they know I’m only fifth rank?"

Fifth rank superpower users appear strong, but aren’t enough to lead global superpower users.

Would the other vice-captains accept?

Probably only Base Commander agreed!

"Aside from your father, I’ve individually notified the other vice-captains, they agreed without objections."

Captain Zhang shrugged, maintaining a gentle smile.

He’s easygoing.

As long as others align with him, he remains civil.

If anyone opposed, he’d first test their resilience...

Whether male or female, young or old, he’d strike first, then have them vote!
