"Oh, Lao Wan, I really didn't expect to meet you here." Xiang Ningxuan returned to the office not long after.

Wan Lixue, his old classmate from junior high school came up. At the previous wedding, they only had a glass of wine and had no time to talk.

Before the end of the world, Wan Lixue was the best among her classmates and was already a middle-level cadre in the city. This time, he came to Hongye District with Ji Jingyu.

However, Ji Jingyu did not come to the evening wedding, so he kindly sent Xiang Ningxuan an invitation, but Xiang Ningxuan stole the bride. He was not satisfied with Wang Yueming, but in the afternoon he learned that Liu Yingxuan's marriage partner was Shen Rui, and he felt even more unhappy. After a fight with Liu Yingxuan, he got angry. This guy is really a young man.

"Oh, old Xiang, you are so cruel! I originally wanted to show my strength, but I didn't expect that you would put everyone in your fourth team. We all became commanders alone." After a few polite words, Wan Lixue complained to Xiang Ningxuan.

More than 100,000 survivors in Hongye District were all assigned to the Fourth Detachment by Xiang Ningxuan, and even the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were not spared. Ji Jingyu, the district mayor, had no one under his command except a group of cadres brought over. He even got the canteen of the Fourth Detachment to have a free meal. He was really frustrated.

Among the old classmates, Xiang Ningxuan was an otaku, Shen Rui was a nerd, and Ran Xiuji was a wild boy. But now all three of them have become powerful hero pros, while Wan Lixue has become a bare commander. The gap is a bit big.

"Ah, the situation is so serious now that there is no need for severe punishment and law, which is not enough to stabilize the situation. The army is the most efficient organization, and putting people in the fourth detachment is just a temporary measure. When the monsters are eliminated, the original management system will naturally be restored." Xiang Ningxuan explained.

Wan Lixue knew in his heart that with the current situation, the goal of "waiting for monsters to be eliminated" was impossible, and it was impossible for Xiang Ningxuan to take the initiative to delegate power. A real man should not be powerless for a day. He put himself in his shoes and would do the same.

Then, there is only one way to go now - surrender!

The two discussed for a while, and Wan Lixue agreed to help Xiang Ningxuan poach people on the condition that she would serve as the Minister of Industry under Xiang Ningxuan.

Xiang Ningxuan said: "I only have one condition. All those who want to do things for me must march into Jiangcheng District with us tomorrow, including you. Of course, you don't need to fight, just stay in the back."

"Ah?" Wan Lixue was stunned and said, "Can that ensure safety?"

"Where is absolutely safe on the battlefield?"

"This, we are just responsible for government affairs, there is no need to go to the front line!" Wan Lixue hesitated.

"If you are brothers, you should share wealth and hardships with each other. I can get to this position and almost lost my life several times. If I don't want to share hardships with me, why should I share wealth and hardships with him?" Xiang Ningxuan asked back.

Wan Lixue was speechless and struggled for a long time. Is it a shop to spend the rest of her life waiting to die or to make fun of him? In the end, the desire for power still won. "Okay!"

"Tomorrow at 9 am, you will set off with me. It will be outdated!"

———

Next, Xiang Ningxuan discussed the combat plan and march route with Chu Xiongtian, confirmed the logistics support situation with Qiao Qiao, and confirmed the personnel preparation status of several brigades with Chu Jiangyue.

It was past one o'clock in the morning when Xiang Ningxuan finished what he had done and was about to go back to bed.

But Shen Rui and Liu Yingxuan were still in the square.

"When you two are not at home on your wedding night, why are you running out for a long time?"

Liu Yingxuan said generously: "Shen Rui and I can't do anything tonight. We have been watching the stars for several hours. You're getting off work so late. What's our mission tomorrow?"

"The Soul Reapers and the Cemetery in the cemetery are both very dangerous forces. Tomorrow we will all be able to do our main force, and you two will stay at home."

Liu Yingxuan said disdainfully: "Tsk, don't tell me about these things. The Soul-Taking Dead and the Cemetery are all working hard to revive the dead and strengthen their strength. They will not come out for the time being. Moreover, with the first, second and eighth brigades left behind, there will be no problem with defense. You don't need to take care of us."

"Well, since you want to go to war, I will arrange it with the Chief of Staff in the morning. Now I'm going to bed, should you continue to watch the stars or rest?"

When passing by Shen Rui, Xiang Ningxuan asked quietly: "Shen Rui, do you really don't need to install an electric one?"

———

On May 18, the elite group still gathered at 6 a.m., but there was no military training today, but the task was assigned.

According to the combat plan formulated by Chief of Staff Chu Xiongtian, the 5 brigades of the third to seventh brigades were each drawn 200 elite troops, and marched in 5 routes, and attacked from the border between Hongye District and Jiangcheng District. In order to strengthen the strength of the five brigades, each brigade will strengthen three excellent heroes. Xiang Ningxuan led the remaining personnel of the elite regiment to be in the center, as a mobile force, and support each brigade at any time.

The remaining first brigade of 1,000 people were deployed on the three mountains in the cemetery area to monitor the soul-takers and cemetery forces. The second brigade of 1,000 people were deployed on the edge of Zhenze Lake to defend against the water demons in the lake. However, the two brigade captains Chu Jiangyue and Chen Qing will go out with Xiang Ningxuan.

The Eighth Brigade stopped expanding into the High-tech Development Zone because Rong Zheng had sent Liu Sheng from the Seventh Detachment there two days ago and had already controlled most of the areas. Now the area controlled by Xiang Ningxuan accounts for about 1/5 of the High-tech Development Zone, and the survivor population is about 25,000.

Now, the 8th Battalion's soldiers have reached a full capacity of 1,000 people and are training with all their might. They will serve as the general reserve team for this combat operation.

In fact, Xiang Ningxuan's troops have far more than these. Most of the five 3 to 7 alone remained with more than 3,000 people, but the rest were all scoundrels with little combat power. Xiang Ningxuan could fight hundreds of people alone. He was not even as good as Wang Yueming and Liu Xiangbo's subordinates. They could only clear the remaining zombies from door to door, killing scattered monsters such as dogheads and goblins. Of course, the most important thing is to receive military training and use military discipline to restrain them to form combat power. However, this may take one or two months.

In comparison, the first, second and eighth brigades are stronger. The second and eighth brigades were established based on the Sanhe team and the Land Bridge team respectively. When the brigade was first established, there were two or three hundred people. The first brigade was the backbone of the Sanhe team drawn by Chu Jiangyue and recruited them in the directly-controlled streets of Hongye District. The number of survivors here is the largest, so it is still easy to pick out a thousand more outstanding heroic professionals.

The five captains of the Third to Seventh Brigades Yang Liu, Wang Wenxing, Lai Ye, Chu Shiyi and Lian Yunfei have returned to their brigade. The two brigades on both sides have heavy tasks, so the ones who strengthened the brigades are Shen Rui, Liu Yingxuan and Zhou Zijin; the ones who strengthened the brigades are Chen Qing, Li Weili and Ran Xiuji.
