Chapter 372: Now that things have come to this, let’s start with the troops (thanks to the gift king

In the commander's office of the provincial military district headquarters, Gu Chengyuan stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the scenery outside the window with a happy mood.

This floor-to-ceiling window faces the direction of Yue Lake. The newly filled Yue Lake is like a charming gem inlaid on the earth. A row of willow trees on the shore are soft as boneless, and their branches sway in the wind like passionate women.

In addition to the scenery under his feet, Gu Chengyuan only needs to raise his eyes slightly to see the dark green mountains in the distance and the clear sky in the horizon!

The broad vision and the vast scenery make it hard not to feel refreshed!

Just looking at the scenery in front of him, Gu Chengyuan felt that it was worth moving to this house!

In the future, you can put some fish into Yue Lake, and even go fishing in your spare time to cultivate your sentiments!

Wow, it's perfect!

.....

Boom boom boom!

"report!"

The sudden knock on the door interrupted Gu Chengyuan's thoughts.

"Enter!"

Kata~

The office door was pushed open, and Zhao Jie, dressed in black and yellow, looking like the protagonist in a rough officer novel, stood at the door.

"Hello, Chief!"

"Zhao Jie? Come in and sit down!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jie walked into Gu Chengyuan's 50-square-meter office with a reserved look on his face.

"Sit down! Pour your own water, the tea is in the cupboard!"

Gu Chengyuan spoke casually and sat down on his boss chair which was wide enough to wrap around his entire body.

Hearing this, Zhao Jie suppressed his inner restraint and walked to the water dispenser. He picked out an open tea can from the cabinet and brewed two cups of tea. He placed one cup on the coffee table in front of his seat and handed the other cup to Gu Chengyuan with both hands.

Normally, leaders say this out of politeness, and subordinates who take it seriously are simply stupid.

But at this moment, Zhao Jie was thinking differently. For the first time, he tried to consider the issue from Gu Chengyuan's perspective.

It is said that it is lonely at the top. When a leader sits in this position, there must be many subordinates who fear and respect him, but there are definitely not many or even no ones who can give him a sense of friendship.

Why should I be better than other survivors?

Because of ability?

of course not!

Isn't it based on the friendship with the leader? It is indeed important to respect the leader and maintain a sense of boundaries on a daily basis.

But if we lose this special emotion and completely degenerate into a pure superior-subordinate relationship, that would be losing the big picture for the small!

So Zhao Jie was taking a gamble, biting the bullet and slightly pushing the boundaries, trying to arouse Gu Chengyuan's feelings for him as a classmate...

"Wow, you have good taste, you picked out my favorite drink right away!"

After hearing Gu Chengyuan's teasing, Zhao Jie was delighted and thought to himself that he had made the right bet.

Compared with his previous politeness, the chief's tone now is obviously more intimate!

In fact, Zhao Jie didn't have any vision at all, he just tried to please the other party deliberately...

When he was picking tea leaves just now, he picked the one with the least left...

"Report to the commander, I actually don't know much about tea. I chose this because I have a feeling that the commander loves to drink it!"

Gu Chengyuan is very happy

"Hahaha, as a staunch materialist fighter, I can't indulge in idealism!"

"Yes! I will definitely be a materialist fighter for the leader in the future!"

"Okay, okay! You and I are classmates. If you work hard, you will definitely achieve great things in the future!" Gu Chengyuan encouraged casually.

"Yes! I will definitely live up to the trust of the leader!" Hearing this, Zhao Jie's face turned red with excitement.

This wave is stable!

After a few casual greetings, the two got down to business.

"Commander, I'm here to report my work to you!"

"At present, Qinghe Town has fully completed the zombie elimination work. A total of 13425 indoor zombies have been eliminated, and 57 troops have been killed!"

Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan nodded slightly.

In the process of clearing out more than 57 indoor zombies, people were sacrificed. This casualty ratio is already very good for the Po Lu Corps, which has never received formal military training!

After all, although it is said to be low-intensity, it is actually high-intensity. If you ask the new recruits who have just entered the battlefield to fight zombies CQB (close quarters combat indoors), I guess only I would do it.

However, this is also caused by the reality. I don’t have enough time for them to grow, so I can only use relatively cruel methods to achieve quick results.

After all, they chose this path themselves...

"Well done!"

"Have all the troops withdrawn to the gathering place?"

"Report to the commander, the Po Lu Corps has now been completely withdrawn!"

"I'll give you half a day off. Try to complete the loading of combat supplies in the morning."

Gu Chengyuan took a sip of hot tea and continued:

"Let the soldiers leave the camp this afternoon. Go visit your families or go out. After so long in the battle, it's time to relax. Relax!"

"Then we will go to Jiu'an Township early tomorrow morning to continue the cleanup work!"

Although in combat, Gu Chengyuan treated his soldiers rather cold-bloodedly for the sake of victory, in daily life, Gu Chengyuan was still quite compassionate to the soldiers below him.

After all, I used to be a grassroots soldier. Of course I know the hardships of grassroots soldiers and I know what they want better.

Taking a break is undoubtedly every soldier’s favorite thing!

So Gu Chengyuan generously gave them half a day off despite the fierce fighting situation on the front line.

Only when you have rested well can you be more effective in fighting. War is often about morale!

Can a howling army be the same as an army that sighs?

The fighting on the front line was indeed tense, but that was only for the front-line troops. For second-line troops like the Po Lu Corps, it didn't matter much whether they fought more or less for a day.

"Thank you, Chief! Thank you, Chief!" Zhao Jie stood up excitedly and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

This half day may not seem like a short time, but for the Po Lu Corps it is not a short time, and there are many things that can be done!

After all, given the current quality of the soldiers, personnel equipment, and nature of the missions of the Po Lu Corps, it can be said that every time they go to the battlefield, they are risking their lives.

This half day may be the last chance for some soldiers to meet their family and friends!

Just like when he led the Po Lu Corps and left the Yeta gathering place and headed for Qinghe Town, he did not expect there would be such heavy casualties.

How many families and children are there behind these 57 people?

Whose sons and whose fathers are they?

So Gu Chengyuan's casual remark inadvertently saved many people from regret...

.....

After Zhao Jie left, the zombie brain core he brought back was cleaned and sent over.

"System conversion!"

Ding!

Conversion successful!

Money +120825

Total amount of money: 639201

Since the time when the First and Second Combined Battalions launched the battle to retake the Creek District, it has been preliminarily estimated that the number of zombie brain cores waiting to be harvested in the entire Creek District has accumulated to at least over 200,000!

If converted into cash, it would be almost two million!

What does two million dollars mean?

Gu Chengyuan can be made the army commander!

However, due to the limited number of battlefield cleaning personnel, the collection speed of zombie brain cores has been slow. Even if the militia team swings the skull-breaking hammer until it smokes and cooperates with the semi-automatic brain core extraction machine, they can only produce about 10,000 zombie brain cores per day.

This feeling of having a mountain of gold but being able to only grind the gold sand bit by bit made Gu Chengyuan very anxious!

So even when he was at the night market, he paid special attention to the situation in the Chongyi gathering place, and asked the authorities almost every day if there was any latest news about the Chongyi gathering place.

"It's come to this, there's no time to rush, let's just blast our troops first!"

I have been very busy recently as too many relatives have things to do during the National Day, and I have to go get engaged with my cousin tomorrow. I am powerless to update frequently. I will remember the reward from you, you are a real man who doesn't eat salt!

Thank you for your support!!
