Chapter 900 Promotion
In the eerily quiet waiting hall, the bright ceiling lights cast a cloudy halo in the rain.
The ghoul Barto, wearing dark red Night Hunter armor, was like a cold metal life at this moment, half-sitting in the middle of the hall, facing the rain curtain falling outside the door.
On the surface of the sci-fi dark red biological composite armor, raindrops condensed into lines, winding down the grooves of the honeycomb-shaped heart guard, and gathered into small puddles under its sharp and reflective obsidian claws.
The three-layer titanium alloy woven torso armor glows with a cold metallic luster under the light, and the purple-gray dynamic joint protectors appear even stickier and shiny after being soaked by rain.
When Barto turned his neck slightly, the memory metal mesh at his shoulders and elbows made a slight buzzing sound, and the amber heat source detection chip on the facial protector glowed faintly in the rainy night.
When lightning flashed outside the door, the pale electric light instantly outlined the thorny outline of the zombie Barto, like a mechanical demon crawling out of hell!
This scene shocked the staff at nearby stations so much that they subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, for fear of making any sound and attracting other people's attention.
To be honest, before tonight, although they had heard about the existence of such a special force in the war zone from troops traveling back and forth, this was the first time they had such close contact!
So as soon as Barto appeared, he immediately became the focus of all the staff in the waiting hall, especially the male staff, who were all extremely excited.
This sense of separation and excitement is no less than that of a child seeing Ultraman Tiga emerge from the TV.
"Hiss~Brother Niuzi, I can't even imagine how invincible I would be if I could transform into this when I was in school! Even if someone with heterochromatic eyes and a head full of white hair comes, they have to stay away from me for a while!"
From a distance, the two staff members, one strong and one thin, couldn't help whispering to each other.
"Who said it wasn't true, Brother Ji? You made me want to become a zombie. If you had told me this would happen, why would I have run away in the first place? Let the zombies click, and I'll join the glorious evolution right away!!"
"Brother Niuzi, is it too late now? Is the event still going on?"
Seeing Brother Ji's question that didn't seem like a joke, Brother Niuzi was silent for a moment, then looked at the cold figure in the center of the hall and said, "Why don't you go and ask?"
Brother Niuzi was just joking, but Brother Ji, who was skinny, took it seriously. He raised his leg and was about to walk to the center of the hall, but was pulled back by Brother Niuzi who saw him.
"Fuck, you're such an idiot. If you get bit by a zombie and can't transform, you'll explode!"
"You...the leader is coming, shhh~~"
Tap tap tap~
As the crisp sound of leather shoes knocking against tiles rang out, old General Xu Changguo, with his gray hair, walked into the waiting hall, escorted by four armed Spark Commandos.
At the same time, on his left, half a step behind and following closely, was a middle-aged colonel carrying a camouflage briefcase.
Such noise naturally could not be hidden from the zombie Barto, who had an infrasound detector embedded in his skull mask, so the moment he heard the noise, he turned around and crawled quickly towards General Xu Changguo.
Because the movement was too big, even though Barto tried his best to control it, the weight was so great that sparks were still scraped off the tiles on the ground by its sharp obsidian claws.
Looking at the huge black creature in front of him with sparks and lightning all the way, Xu Changguo's cold and old face showed a rare doting smile:
"Bato, you little brat, run slower, don't damage the tiles!"
woohoo~~
Barto came in front of Xu Changguo, stood up, retracted his paws, and saluted Xu Changguo with a special military salute unique to the special service brigade by hammering his chest!
Go to this station and you will be a soldier!
Seeing this scene, Xu Changguo's smile became even wider, and he couldn't help but look at Barto carefully from head to toe, as if he was looking at his own grandchild.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that the strong guy has become stronger again!" Xu Changguo took half a step forward, patted the other's shoulder armor affectionately, and praised with satisfaction.
"How were the past two days? Were you satisfied with the food? Were you able to eat enough?"
Woo woo woo woo~~
In response to Xu Changguo's questioning, the zombie Barto whimpered and gestured in the air with his paws.
At this moment, Xu Jian, the "interpreter" who followed Barto and had an extremely low sense of presence and was brought out from the night market by Barto, was delighted and realized that it was finally his turn to show off!
"Hello, Commander. What Captain Barto means is..."
"who are you?"
As soon as Xu Jiancai spoke, he was immediately cut by Xu Changguo's sharp eyes, which instantly reminded him of the days of growing potatoes in Siberia. The cold wind was so biting~
Xu Changguo frowned more and more as he looked at Xu Jian in front of him. Xu Jian was wearing an old camouflage uniform that he had picked up from some construction site, and a wrinkled old camouflage hat. He was also fat and had a funny look. Standing there, he looked like a Japanese translator. This made Xu Changguo, who had a special life experience, very unhappy.
If Xu Jian knew what General Xu Changguo was thinking at this moment, he would definitely shout "unfair"!
This was not something he could decide. This time, the 1st Special Service Brigade came over. Except for the brigade headquarters responsible for command and coordination, the rest of the combat battalions had basically no human content. His appearance was completely an exception, like a hamster that Barto casually put into his pocket and brought over.
So the entire special forces had no supplies for him. Why did he work so hard to put together all this? Wasn't it to align the granularity, make himself more sociable, and look more like a "soldier"!
But he never expected that when he first met the boss, his self-satisfied outfit would actually label him as a "fake soldier".
...
Just when Xu Jian was sweating profusely and at a loss, Barto on the side took the initiative to stand up and explain:
Wuuwuwu~ "Commander, he is the translator I found to help me solve the battlefield communication problems with other brother troops."
Woo woo woo woo~ "I still remember the first time you met us you said that details determine victory in war, so I thought about the communication problems that might exist on the battlefield."
Woohoo~ "You said anything could happen on a real battlefield, even electronic equipment failures are possible, so I brought an interpreter with me."
Listening to Barto's gestures, Xu Changguo's stern expression instantly melted away, and he praised Barto:
"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you to remember everything I said and implement it so carefully and practically. You are smart! You are so smart!"
"You've considered such an extreme situation. Why can't other battalion commanders, who are also officers of the special service brigade, learn to draw inferences from one example like you?!"
"Okay, since you're the one who picked the translator, I'll allow it. How well do you understand the ghoul language?"
Facing the question from the old general whose momentum was like a mountain, Xu Jian replied with a trembling voice:
"Report to the Chief, I can translate common languages fluently..."
Hearing this, Xu Changguo turned his gaze to Barto who was standing beside him. After getting Barto's confirmation, his expression softened and he said:
"That's not bad, you are a talented guy. You know how to seize opportunities and are good at scheming. Others haven't thought of learning the ghoul language, but you actually learned it!"
Xu Changguo understood Xu Jian's true thoughts and motives almost instantly.
"But don't take the wrong path in the future. Think twice before you act. Follow the right path and do the right thing, otherwise I will shoot you!"
"Did you hear me!"
General Xu Changguo's threat frightened Xu Jian, and he immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, repeatedly assuring:
"Please rest assured, Chief, I will definitely reform myself and be a good person!"
"Okay, since you can come to my special service brigade and stay at this grassroots level, I think you are not afraid of hardship and dare to take the lead. I will give you a chance and promote you!"
