Chapter 014: Promotion Decision

"Guess." Feng Yu pretended to be mysterious.

"Don't talk nonsense." Liang Long laughed and scolded, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"66." Feng Yu said.

"What a high value!" The adjutant was shocked, "Untrained recruits are actually better than the best veterans? The strongest soldiers below the formation leader in the legion have a bug power of only 63."

"There are more surprising things than this." Feng Yu said proudly. [

"If you don't finish speaking in one breath, I'll kick your ass." Liang Long joked with Feng Yu, and the two laughed together.

Who wouldn't be happy to have such a powerful warrior in the legion?

"He should be a special type of warrior." Feng Yu said, "We conducted some tests in the training ground and found that he could punch a 3-centimeter-thick steel plate into a ball and fly several meters away from the base. The power of this attack has exceeded the value of 66. I think he should be a type that can burst his potential at any time to gain higher combat power."

"There is such a type?" The adjutant was dumbfounded again.

"Of course." Liang Long nodded calmly, looking at Shen Zheng with excitement in his eyes. "Good job, good job! Shen Zheng, you have to keep working hard. You have such a genius physique. If you work harder, I believe that in the near future, my position will be yours."

"Leader..." Shen Zheng was stunned.

Not long ago, he was still a poor boy who was worried about his sister's tuition and house rent; not long ago, he was still a waste who was ridiculed and despised.

And at this time, the commander of the Wolf Fang Legion actually told him: My position will be yours in the future.

From heaven to hell, from hell to heaven, everything can change so fast. Shen Zheng couldn't accept this kind of ups and downs.

"Work hard." Liang Long looked at him, "Perform well, and when your insect power is further improved, I will give you the status you deserve."

"I... I have a request." Shen Zheng gradually calmed down in excitement.

"Say it!" Liang Long nodded.

"I want to apply for assistance from the soldier fund." Shen Zheng's voice trembled slightly. "I have a sister who has cancer, but I don't have the money to treat her."

"I was shocked." Feng Yu wiped his sweat, "So it's this kind of thing! I thought it was a difficult problem to solve."

"Just treat cancer." Liang Long also smiled, "That's easy. Do you need help from the soldier fund? I will hold a meeting to promote you to a squad leader immediately, so that your salary will increase several times, and such a small matter as treatment will not be a big deal for you."

"This..." Shen Zheng looked at Liang Long, trembling with excitement, his heart full of gratitude.

Small matter? No, it's not a small matter, it's a big matter related to the life and death of my sister and my own happiness! As long as my sister is still there, I still have a concern, I still have a warm home, and I am not alone.

"But distant water cannot quench near thirst." Feng Yu frowned and said, "Captain, let me take out the money for him first. It's better to treat the disease earlier than later."

"Captain!" Shen Zheng looked at Feng Yu, so excited that he didn't know what to say. [

"Take advantage of the gap between the insect tides and hold a meeting of the formation leaders immediately." Liang Long immediately decided, "I will immediately announce the good news that a genius has been born in the legion, and at the same time, I will promote Shen Zheng to a team leader!"

"Okay, I agree!" Feng Yu nodded hastily.

The order was immediately issued, and soon, the other three formation leaders hurried over. Luo Jia, the formation leader of the first formation, had a livid face, and was obviously in a very bad mood.

"Why do you look so bad? Didn't we win a big victory?" Liang Long asked. "Although there were casualties, I heard that the death list mentioned in the adjutant's summary report did not seem to have as many people as your first formation."

"There are not many people, but they are elites." Luo Jia's voice was full of regret, "Ping Lei, whose adaptability value reached 86 during the recruit test, died in the battle."

"What a pity." Liang Long shook his head calmly, "Did anyone see how he died?"

"No one." Luo Jia sighed and shook his head, "Looking at the wound, it seems that he was killed by the thorny claw insect. I didn't expect that such a future star would fall in the first battle."

"I know how he died." Shen Zheng stood aside and finally made a decision after careful consideration. He spoke loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

Liang Long looked at Shen Zheng with interest, guessing Shen Zheng's thoughts in his heart, but did not stop him from speaking. He did so, so Feng Yu did not dare to stop Shen Zheng.

"You know?" Luo Jia looked at Shen Zheng.

"I killed him." Shen Zheng said as he raised his hand. The power of the thorn claw worm surged on his hand, and soon his fingers turned into sharp thorn claws.

"It's you!" Luo Jia's face changed, and he stood up. "You killed your own kind and your comrades on the battlefield. Do you know what crime you have committed?"

"It was just self-defense." Shen Zheng and Luo Jia looked at each other, without any fear in their eyes. "I killed a thorny claw beetle and got some eggs, and he wanted to steal my spoils, so he shot me. Captain Luo Jia, I think if it were you, you would definitely kill him."

"What did you say? Ping Lei tried to kill you?" Luo Jia was stunned.

"I can prove this." Feng Yu said slowly, "At that time, Shen Zheng's combat uniform shield was completely broken by Ping Lei's prism gun. Shen Zheng relied on the power of the steel beetle armor to avoid death, and killed Ping Lei with his backhand when he had the choice. I saw the whole process."

He lied about the last sentence, of course, to better protect Shen Zheng.

Luo Jia looked at Feng Yu and slowly sat down again.

"This damn guy, I didn't expect him to be such a person!" Luo Jia said bitterly, "I thought he was just a controlling kid who liked to have others around him and be ordered around by him, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing!"

Obviously, Luo Jia trusted Feng Yu very much. Shen Zheng certainly didn't know the reason, but the other two captains knew that it was because Feng Yu had been seriously injured and almost died in order to save Luo Jia in a terrible insect tide in the past.

"Wait." The fourth captain was a calm man in his forties with long golden hair, named Depp. At this moment, he looked at Shen Zheng with a look of surprise. "Captain Feng Yu, you just said that Shen Zheng used the power of the steel beetle?"

"And..." The third captain, Carters, who was the first to grab Shen Zheng in the experiment when the recruits were planting insects, stared at Shen Zheng's hand. "What's the power of this thorny claw insect? Can't Shen Zheng only implant the foundation-building insect?"

"This is roughly what happened." Liang Long coughed and took over the conversation. "This is also the purpose of calling everyone to the meeting. First of all, I have to say that Shen Zheng is indeed a genius. The fitness value of 98 is not an imaginary number. It is just the result of our computer method clearly analyzing his special physique. In fact, he can be implanted with almost all insect eggs." [

"What?" The three captains were shocked.

"Now he has the power of seven insects." Feng Yu said slowly, "Foundation-building insects, steel beetles, thorny claws, explosive insects, ridged gun insects, slime insects, and blade-footed insects. If possible, he can be implanted with more insect power, but it is no longer necessary."

"Multi-insect fusion?" Luo Jia said this term that shocked everyone.

"Yes." Feng Yu nodded.

"This is great news!" Depp nodded heavily.

"After the initial test, Captain Feng Yu was unwilling to give up." Liang Long explained according to Feng Yu's statement. "So I secretly did a plant experiment for Shen Zheng. It didn't work at the time, but in the battle just now, this power suddenly broke out when he was attacked by Ping Lei. He couldn't control this power himself, and when he felt the danger, he attacked too hard, so he killed Ping Lei."

The second half of the words obviously showed that he deliberately protected Shen Zheng. It's no wonder, which military leader would not do his best to protect a soldier with limited potential?

"It seems that Ping Lei is to blame himself." Luo Jia sighed.

Ping Lei's immediate superior said so, and the other two captains naturally had nothing to say, just nodded.

"Captain Feng Yu has made great contributions in this matter." Liang Long said, "I will reward him after the war. Now I am calling everyone here to announce a decision - I plan to promote Shen Zheng to a squad leader, and recruit new soldiers from each team to form a squad of 100 people led by him. What do you think?"

"This..." Luo Jia and Depp hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"He just killed his comrade, but got promoted. It's not good to spread this." The captain of the third formation, Carters, spoke directly, "Although Ping Lei was the first to act, the soldiers don't know the truth and may have some misunderstandings. If the new recruits feel that they can get promoted and make money as long as they kill comrades who are stronger than themselves, then the Wolf Fang Corps will be finished before the insect tide attacks."

"If Shen Zheng didn't admit it himself, no one would know." Liang Long said in a deep voice, "He dared to say it, which means he has a guilty conscience. What is he afraid of? Ping Lei attacked his comrades on the battlefield. This is not only against military discipline, but also against human nature! This This kind of person, not to mention that he is not worthy of being a soldier, he is not even worthy of the title of a human being! "

Liang Long became more and more excited as he spoke, and he slammed the table directly, but Carters did not seem to be afraid of the wrath of the legion commander, and continued: "But even so, there is no reason to promote him to a squad leader. First, although he is a genius, he has not yet shown the ability to be a squad leader; second, the war is so intense now, and our own formation is still insufficient. At this time, we have to draw new soldiers for him... The second formation has an extra squad for no reason, isn't it too much of an advantage?"

Shen Zheng looked at Carters and firmly remembered this guy who was the first to rob him and the first to suppress him now.
