Chapter 348 Puppet
While talking, Cheng Yiyi brought Wang Tao to the command center of the camp.
The two commanders of the Legion of Honor that Cheng Yiyi mentioned are not here. They are basically in the committee building now. Moreover, they have given all the authority of the Sixth Legion to Cheng Yiyi, so they are of no use in the Legion.
Actually, Wang Tao was a little surprised about the "Legion Commander of Honor" thing. He didn't expect that the two army commanders had chosen to delegate power.
Although they are now committee members, their power is at a higher level. But after all, the Sixth Army is not under their own command, so it is somewhat different...
Cheng Yiyi explained that although they have become superpowers, they are not that strong in terms of strength. What makes them stronger is their brains and experience.
The commander of the legion does not work in an office, but goes out to fight!
The legion commander's combat effectiveness is not to say the best in the entire army, but at least he is among the top. Otherwise, when other soldiers become stronger and stronger, they may not be able to convince the public.
The two legion commanders are quite old. Even if they are superpowers, their physical fitness is not up to par. In their words, they are lucky to survive the apocalypse, and they are content. The commander of the legion should be left to someone more capable.
They are now more suitable to use their many years of rich experience to lead the overall situation, so they have all become members of the committee to formulate the general direction of the base. Others, such as the Sixth Army, are all left to Cheng Yiyi. .
"So that's it..."
Wang Tao nodded secretly.
That makes sense. Now is the end of the world, and strength is king. If you are not strong enough, even if you control a large amount of power, it may be hard to say what the final outcome will be.
They are old, their body functions have deteriorated, and they are unable to charge into battle, so their strength will definitely be surpassed by future generations. After all, not everyone's physical fitness is as abnormal as that of He Jijun, who gets stronger as they get older.
It is better to train Cheng Yiyi's successor early. They will use their rich experience to be responsible for the general direction. Leave everything else to Cheng Yiyi...
Not only the Sixth Legion, but also several other legions are in a similar situation. After all, when they organized to resist, they must have someone with seniority to take the lead before others could be convinced.
These old men were very useful in the early stage, but now that the base has stabilized and the superpowers are getting stronger, but their own strength has stagnated, it may not be easy to convince the public. , especially in a place like the Legion - the former veterans may respect them very much, but the Legion has to recruit people, and there will only be fewer and fewer veterans...
So they all took advantage of the committee's formation At that time, he became a committee member. They can obtain certain benefits for the legion, and the legion also supports them behind the scenes. And there must be nothing wrong with the successor they chose. For example, Cheng Yiyi is very convinced of these two old leaders.
......
Wang Tao met another deputy commander in the camp.
There are three deputy commanders in the Sixth Army, but the other two are stationed in other camps and cannot be seen for the time being.
Deputy Corps Commander Lin Kaiyang is a burly man, about 2.23 meters tall, with muscles all over his body. Wang Tao's two-meter-tall figure seemed a bit ordinary in front of him.
"Mr. Wang! Welcome to join our Sixth Army!"
Lin Kaiyang extended his hand to Wang Tao very enthusiastically.
Cheng Yiyi had notified the top brass within the legion and the Honorary Legion Commander in advance about hiring Wang Tao as a consultant to the legion, so they already knew about it before Wang Tao came.
Cheng Yiyi and Wang Tao said that Lin Kaiyang was an awakened person in the Sixth Legion, and he was also the only awakened person before. The Sixth Legion relied on him to hold up the card, and the awakened people in other legions were basically two or three. More than one.
But now Cheng Yiyi and another deputy leader have awakened, and now there are three awakened ones. In addition, Wang Tao can be regarded as half of the legion, so looking at the awakened ones alone, the Sixth Legion is not bad.
[HP: 100000/100000]
[Mana: 45200/45200]
[Level: Level 4]
[Awakening: Powerful]
[Powerful: All basic attributes are improved in all aspects, and the power is greatly improved (the improvement is related to the upper limit of awakening energy)]
Lin Kaiyang’s awakening is exactly the same as Qi De’s. He is a passive system awakener.
People who have awakened [Strength] seem to be very large and look very oppressive, but with his military uniform, they feel very safe.
“Hello!”
Wang Tao smiled and shook hands with him.
“I heard Commander Cheng say before that Mr. Wang is a rare talent. I was thinking about poaching Mr. Wang, but I didn’t expect that Commander Cheng had already done it and succeeded!”
Lin Kaiyang's face seemed a little regretful, but there was also a kind of sincere joy.
“Haha!”
Cheng Yiyi suddenly laughed a little proudly.
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Cheng Yiyi and Lin Kaiyang took Wang Tao around here.
It not only introduced Wang Tao to the actual situation of the Sixth Army, but also made Wang Tao feel familiar.
Other forces may have the title of Expert Advisor, but the Sixth Army did not originally have it. This was established by Cheng Yiyi alone for Wang Tao.
Many people in the legion didn’t know what position this was, and they didn’t know much about Wang Tao, but seeing that both the chief and deputy legion commanders were accompanying them, even fools knew that this position was not low, so they all kept silent. He remembered Wang Tao's figure and appearance...
Wang Tao also roughly understood the specific strength of the Sixth Army.
Changhe Base has a total population of more than 500,000, and there are 50,000 soldiers belonging to the six legions. This ratio seems quite high, but considering that this is the end of the world, it is nothing. It even felt a little low. Some people had thought about expanding the army on a large scale before, but they couldn't implement it later. The reason was very simple... not enough money.
Many people in Changhe Base want to join the six major legions, because for most people, the treatment given by the six major legions is much higher than that of other forces in the base.
If the salary given is high, then they will spend more money, so if they hire too many people, their wallets will not be able to bear it.
As for the 50,000 people, 49,000 of them belong to the other five legions, and the sixth legion only has 1,000 people.
It seems that the gap is still very big, but there are advantages to having fewer people. With fewer people, at least the cost is less. Relying on the armaments provided by other major legions, they are not short of equipment.
And Cheng Yiyi doesn't want to recruit too many people. She wants to take the elite route. Anyway, it can't compare with other legions in terms of scale, so it's better to find another track.
Although these six legions support each other, there is also competition. After all, there is competition to make progress, and everyone wants to be first.
Not only does Cheng Yiyi know that first place is impossible, but she is thankful to God that she can get rid of the last place. So her goal now is very clear - to win the second place from the bottom!
In addition to these thousand people, the Sixth Army also has 10 main battle tanks, 10 power armor, 20 artillery pieces, 30 infantry fighting vehicles, 6 armed helicopters, and 4 transport helicopters... ...plus some small arms and whatnot. This was all aided by other legions.
In fact, their overall strength is not weak anymore. With regard to this firepower, except for the other five legions, no other force should be able to withstand it.
Wang Tao's current status as an expert consultant does not have any real power within the Sixth Army. He only has the right to make suggestions at most.
But Cheng Yiyi assured Wang Tao that if Wang Tao needed anything, he could just tell her and she would try her best to help as long as it was not a particularly difficult matter.
Since she said so, Wang Tao will not be polite.
Wang Tao said two things directly.
The first thing is that if they get something weird, they can show it to Wang Tao. Wang Tao may spend money to buy it. If Wang Tao knows what it is, he will also tell them. .
The second thing is that if they see giant zombies, disaster-level zombie monsters, or fifth-level lords that are not so exaggerated outside in the future, forget it if they hunt them. If they don’t hunt them, they can contact Wang Tao. . Wang Tao will pay them some information fees, and if Wang Tao can gain something, he can also give them some benefits.
As for the first question, Cheng Yiyi understood it very well. This was actually one of the reasons why she recruited Wang Tao to join the group. Even if Wang Tao didn't say anything, she would show Wang Tao these strange things. The second thing shocked her a little.
"You want to hunt giant zombies alone? Catastrophic level? Fifth-level lord?"
What Wang Tao just said is that if the Sixth Legion is unwilling to hunt , then you can tell Wang Tao the news, which means that Wang Tao wants to hunt alone or with a small number of superpowers?
"If I have the opportunity, I will definitely not let it go."
Wang Tao nodded.
“…”
Cheng Yiyi looked at Wang Tao in disbelief.
Even with the presence of Lan Yulian, a big wet nurse, Wang Tao has a high error tolerance rate, but the last time they cooperated to kill disaster-level zombies is still fresh in his mind. Without their cooperation, Wang Tao and his group alone wouldn't be able to kill the disaster-level snake, right?
"What's that look in your eyes? Are you looking down on me?"
Wang Tao was speechless.
"No, I mean..." Cheng Yiyi wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just patted her chest and promised, "Forget it, don't worry, if there is any news, I will definitely notify you. Yours!"
"That's good." Wang Tao nodded, then looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first. If you have any questions, just contact me directly. . ”
After all, you are taking someone else’s money, so you still have to provide services.
"Why don't you have a meal here before leaving? Our canteen is still very good!"
Cheng Yiyi invited.
“No, I still have some things to do when I go back.”
Wang Tao shook his head.
“Okay! I’ll see you off!”
Cheng Yiyi personally sent Wang Tao back to the villa and told Wang Tao that she had entered Wang Tao's identity into the Sixth Army's system. Wang Tao would not be blocked if he went there by himself, and he could go to most places at will.
"Okay! See you next time."
After watching Cheng Yiyi's car leave, Wang Tao returned to the villa.
He told what happened to the Sixth Legion that he saw today. It was not a secret. Wang Tao told it to his own people, so naturally it did not involve leaking secrets.
After everyone heard this, they realized that the gap between the six legions was so huge. They had been to the Third Army, which was much stronger than the Sixth Army.
"By the way, Lao He, you go and drive our helicopter to the Sixth Army Corps tomorrow, and I'll ask Cheng Yiyi to help us modify it."
This can be regarded as one of Wang Tao's small benefits. He has already arranged with him in advance Cheng Yiyi agreed that she would maintain the helicopter inside and out, then change the weapons, and finally connect it to the Sixth Army's communication system.
“Okay.”
He Jijun nodded.
At this time, Wang Tao looked at the time.
"They are about to wake up, let's go take a look..."
Wang Tao entered a room and looked at Jiang Shixue lying on the bed and the lightning under the bed. They all waited quietly.
At a certain moment, Jiang Shixue slowly opened her eyes.
“Brother~”
She immediately saw Wang Tao sitting not far away.
"Haha! Finally woke up!"
Wang Tao walked over with a smile.
"Am I...awakening?"
Jiang Shixue got up and looked at her white and tender hands with some uncertainty.
Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue’s attributes, touched her hair and said:
"Of course I'm awake! Feel it carefully..."
[HP: 120000/120000]
[BL: 150000/150000]
[Level: Level 4 Lord]
[Impurities in the body: 25%]
[Hidden attribute: Dark Claws]
[Awakening: Puppet]
Jiang Shixue is different from ordinary humans. Every time she advances, her mana amount will double. So she now has 150,000 mana, which has exceeded Wang Tao.
Then her level was promoted to the fourth level, and she was still at the lord level.
Furthermore, she has two hidden attributes, one is [Eye of Contract] and the other is [Dark Claw].
[Eye of contract: night vision, controlling other people's minds to a certain extent]
[Dark Claws: has slight armor-breaking ability]
The former was something she had long ago, and the latter It was Wang Tao who fused it for her.
And now, her [Eye of Contract] hidden attribute has disappeared, and she has an awakened [Puppet]!
This shows that Wang Tao’s previous guess was correct. The reason why she was able to awaken after eating the Awakening Fruit was not because she was lucky, but because she had hidden attributes!
If she was really lucky and the Awakening Fruit gave her a hidden attribute, it would be impossible for her to be without a [Contract Eye] now.
After confirming that his guess was correct, Wang Tao finally looked at Jiang Shixue's awakening.
[Puppet: Night vision, control the opponent's thinking]
Just looking at this awakening, it seems like there is no change?
But this is awakening after all, and there cannot be any changes. The specific details will only be known after testing.
Jiang Shixue's previous [Eye of Contract] was effective against weak people, but Wang Tao usually attacked stronger opponents, and Wang Tao rarely fought against anyone, so Jiang Shixue hardly used this control ability. And now this awakening... Wang Tao felt that it should give him a surprise.
