Chapter 47 Daily life
The next morning, after washing up, Li Chenglong went to the office building with Yunlan. Considering he hadn't supervised the team's training in a long time, he decided to let Yunlan rest in the office while he trained the special forces. Yang Liu had previously suggested that the name "Special Service Company" sounded bad, so it was renamed "Special Forces." Before leaving, he went to Zheng Yong's office, but Zheng Yong wasn't there. A staff member nearby explained that Zheng Yong had gone out early that morning with Hao Dahai's Third Battalion to clear out the migrating zombies in the surrounding area. Currently, apart from Wan Dahai's battalion, which is slightly weaker, the other battalions are becoming increasingly stronger. Yesterday, Wang Yousheng also gave Li Chenglong the statistical tables. The Dawn Army currently has 1750 people, including 16 Level 4 ability users, 92 Level 3 ability users, and 370 Level 1 and Level 2 ability users.
Li Chenglong checked his Tower of Martial Power; the fifth level was almost full, and reaching level 6 should be within the next few days, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Last night, after returning home, he and Yunlan made some plans. They planned to bypass Linhai City and head to the southwest once they both reached level 6, directly attacking the High-Tech Development Zone and then establishing Dawn City. However, because Yunlan hadn't been fighting much lately, the fifth level of his Tower of Martial Power was only a little over half full.
Li Chenglong greeted everyone in the various departments before heading to the special forces' dormitory. The special forces' benefits were quite good; the dormitories were divided into men's and women's sections. Couples could get even larger rooms, and if several people wanted to share, they could get spacious two-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom dorms. Even single rooms had en-suite bathrooms. With such good benefits came high standards; Yun Lan and Yang Liu would conduct unscheduled inspections, ensuring the dormitories were always clean and tidy, with no mess or disorder allowed.
He remembered that Zhao Liying's belongings were still in his storage ring. He hadn't had time to return them to her yesterday due to the rush, but today he had time to do so. Li Chenglong arrived at the girls' dormitory of the special forces and saw two soldiers patrolling there. This was to prevent theft or other illegal activities while the special forces were away. Currently, soldiers or guards patrolled and maintained order in all residential areas of the Dawn Base. The two soldiers saw Li Chenglong and quickly saluted, "Good morning, sir!" Li Chenglong returned the salute, "You've worked hard, continue your mission." But then he realized he had arrived too early; it wasn't even seven o'clock yet, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go up directly.
Just as he was downstairs pondering how to make contact, a female special forces soldier from the second floor came to the balcony to hang towels out to dry. Seeing Li Chenglong downstairs, she immediately screamed and rushed back, much to Li Chenglong's annoyance. In no time, several balconies were filled with female soldiers, including those from the special forces, logistics units, and other battalions. The female soldiers started jeering at Li Chenglong, and sensing the situation was getting out of hand, Li Chenglong immediately ran out the main gate of the dormitory building. Yang Liu, who had already witnessed the situation, quickly dressed and came downstairs as well.
Yang Liu ran out and found Li Chenglong sitting on the steps of the small flower bed. She immediately ran over and saluted, "Team Leader Li, Team Leader Yun said yesterday that we wouldn't assemble until 8 o'clock, so the girls in the special forces team haven't gotten up yet." Li Chenglong waved his hand, "I'm early. I wanted to give Zhao Liying all her things today. Where is she staying now? Could you help me take those things to her?" Yang Liu smiled and said, "Zhao Liying is currently living in the same dormitory as me. Originally, it was said that Han Xiaoling would live with me, so we were assigned a double dormitory. But later she went to live with you guys, so one room was empty. Yesterday, we arranged for her to stay with me."
Li Chenglong nodded: "Then you can take her things upstairs." Yang Liu quickly waved her hand: "No, there's too much stuff for me to carry. Captain Li, you can take it up directly and check our quarters while you're at it. I already notified all fifty girls in our special forces team when I came down." Li Chenglong frowned: "Isn't that inappropriate? After all, it's a girls' dormitory." Yang Liu smiled and replied: "We're not worried, what are you afraid of? Let's go." Originally, Yang Liu wanted to pull Li Chenglong upstairs, but then she thought it wouldn't be good, so she pushed Li Chenglong upstairs instead.
Currently, there are over 400 female soldiers living in two buildings in the former Linhai University faculty and staff residential area. They mostly share rooms with three or four people, but each room has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, so four people are definitely enough. Yang Liu's dormitory is room 303 on the second or third floor. All 30 women in their special forces team live on the third floor. Li Chenglong received a warm welcome as soon as he arrived on the third floor. Li Chenglong told them to move around freely and then went into Yang Liu's room. The room was simply furnished with little furniture. Zhao Liying brought out a cup of hot water: "Captain Li, have some water." Li Chenglong smiled and took it: "Are you getting used to the place? It's certainly not as nice as a five-star hotel, but with our current strength, this area is the best dormitory." Zhao Liying immediately nodded: "My sisters are all very kind to me, and I get along very well with them. Vice Captain Yang Liu has also taught me a lot." Li Chenglong nodded, then took out the large boxes from his storage ring: "These are all your things. I'm returning them to their rightful owner. Okay, you guys rest a little longer. Meet at the Linhai University basketball court at 8 o'clock."
Li Chenglong then visited the dormitories of the special forces and some female soldiers, checking their living conditions and listening to many suggestions and opinions before leaving. At eight o'clock in the morning, the special forces members had already assembled on the basketball court. Currently, 50 members of the special forces had been gathered, 30 women and 20 men, excluding Li Chenglong and Yun Lan. Li Chenglong stood at the front of the group: "You are all outstanding talents we selected from the survivors. I have high expectations for you, but I hope you will not be arrogant or think that being a member of the special forces makes you superior. We are all from different places, and we are all equal. In the future, I hope you will treat other soldiers or residents with an equal heart."
After speaking, Li Chenglong had everyone practice under Yang Liu's guidance, while he personally pointed out their weaknesses and offered pointers. Two hours later, during the break, Li Chenglong approached Yang Liu and asked, "Do you know how many Level 6 ability users we have in our special forces team?" Yang Liu counted, "Five in total, excluding me: two fire-type, one strength-type, one wind-type, and one speed-type, three men and two women." Li Chenglong gathered everyone together again, grinning mischievously, and said, "Our special forces team now has six Level 6 ability users. I wonder if they dare to take on me all at once?" Yang Liu immediately laughed and said, "Captain Li, if you want to bully someone, just say so. With your strength, even all of us together wouldn't be enough to defeat you."
Li Chenglong nodded: "How about this, you guys have watched League of Legends matches, right? You can disable three of my skills like those players do, how about that?" A murmur rippled through the crowd. Zhao Liying asked, "If six of our team members actually win, is there any reward?" Li Chenglong thought for a moment; he did need a prize, but he couldn't really come up with anything. He'd already used up all the Psionic Persimmons yesterday, and he'd already eaten his own. Suddenly, he remembered the giant serpent he'd killed yesterday; it had four long, sharp teeth, capable of cutting through iron like mud. If modified, it could definitely become a superior weapon.
So he took out four giant snake fangs, each a meter long. Li Chenglong took out a thick steel pipe and used the snake fangs to chop at it forcefully. The steel pipe was cut in two, but the snake fangs were completely unmarked. Everyone gasped at this sight. Li Chenglong smiled and said, "The prize this time is these four level-six zombie snake fangs. You've all seen their power. However, there are only four so far. If you defeat me, each of the four of you will receive one giant snake fang. The other two will receive one later if we get one of these." Yang Liu looked at the giant snake fangs: "A good weapon can greatly increase a person's combat power. I want this one." After saying that, she and the other team members began to discuss what skills they should use against Li Chenglong.
Five minutes later, the discussion finally reached a conclusion. Yang Liu stepped forward and said, "After discussion among the six of us Level 6 ability users, we've decided to take down the captain's teleportation, Dragon Emperor Sword, and Evil-Slaying Bow." Li Chenglong said, "You'll regret it if you don't take down my Galactic Explosion!" Yang Liu smiled and said, "But compared to the Galactic Explosion, the Evil-Slaying Bow is a greater threat." With that, the six of them assumed their fighting stances, ready to attack. Li Chenglong looked at the ground and said, "It would be a shame to destroy the basketball court if we fight here. Let's go to the construction site next door. They're demolishing it to build a training ground, which will be perfect for a free-for-all."
Dozens of people arrived at the construction site. Li Chenglong greeted the workers, who then watched with great interest. The special forces members formed a large circle to observe the battle. Li Chenglong activated his True Dragon Eye, having already made up his mind: "I hope you use your full strength from the start. After all, our basic attributes are vastly different. If it drags on too long, you know what will happen. To be fair, I will only use one-third of my usual power." Because of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, Li Chenglong and Yun Lan's stamina was already more than double that of their peers. Even using only one-third, they could easily defeat a level four opponent under normal circumstances.
Six level-three ability users surrounded Li Chenglong. At Yang Liu's command, two fire-type ability users released fireballs, followed by a wind-type ability user using wind energy to accelerate them. Simultaneously, a strength-type ability user slammed the ground, attempting to destabilize Li Chenglong. The two fireballs, accelerated by the wind, hurtled towards Li Chenglong, who jumped to dodge. The wind-type ability user then unleashed their fastest attack, a swift wind slash, aimed at Li Chenglong while he was still in mid-air. Li Chenglong rolled twice in the air to barely avoid the attack. As soon as he landed, two vines emerged from the ground, attempting to entangle his legs. He immediately performed two backflips to escape the vines' attack. Then, a speed-type ability user appeared behind Li Chenglong, trying to subdue him. Li Chenglong ducked to avoid the user's control and then moved away from the speed-type ability user.
The battle lasted for over five minutes. Li Chenglong spent most of the time on the defensive or dodging. During this time, he nodded in satisfaction. His attributes were too high, so their attacks failed once. However, if a level four ability user encountered these six people, they would undoubtedly be defeated. Even Zhao Rui, a level five, would probably have a hard time defeating their team attack. Of course, their team attack also had weaknesses, namely, they were easily defeated one by one, after all, they were only level three and their basic attributes were relatively poor.
Li Chenglong glanced at his watch and felt it was about time. Moreover, their powers were starting to falter from the continuous attacks. He secretly unleashed a Galactic Explosion, sending five dazzling orbs of light exploding in the sky, blinding them. Li Chenglong sped over and subdued them one by one. Yang Liu rubbed her sore wrist and said regretfully, "We lost." Li Chenglong laughed heartily, "No, with your current level of coordination, you've actually won, because you forced me to use a special move. I really didn't expect you to train so well; you've truly impressed me. I hope you continue to work hard." With that, Li Chenglong took out four giant serpent fangs and distributed them to them. The two who didn't receive any weren't too disappointed, as Li Chenglong promised to make it up to them later; the captain's promises were never broken.
Time flew by, and lunchtime arrived in the blink of an eye. Li Chenglong led the special forces team to the canteen for lunch. Seeing Yun Lan there, he went over and told her about what had happened that morning. Yun Lan said with some pride, "You should see who picked these people. When I was selecting them, besides their character, I also considered their future combat coordination. So everyone was carefully chosen." At this moment, the special forces team members were still enthusiastically discussing the battle they had just fought. Wang Fafa said, "Once we have a few Level 4s, can we defeat the captain?" Yang Liu rolled her eyes at him, "You're dreaming. The captain probably didn't even use 10% of his peak strength today. And after reaching Level 5, he went through several major battles. He killed two Level 6s alone, not to mention Level 4s and 5s. By the time we reach Level 4, the captain will probably be Level 6 too."
Yunlan was going to lead the afternoon training session because she couldn't stand sitting in the office and dealing with all sorts of documents. Although the morning was supposed to be a rest day, she had been quite busy. So she strongly requested to switch with Li Chenglong, and Li Chenglong agreed with a smile.
