Chen Li sighed with a wry smile, and said seriously: "Indeed. Captain Tang can just call me Chen Li. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. I came here today because I have something very important to discuss with Captain Tang."
"It's okay to be straightforward." Tang Sihuang secretly guessed what trouble Chen Li had encountered. He and Chen Li had some friendship, but not to the extent that he could stand up for the other party.
Chen Li really got straight to the point, half-jokingly said: "I want to bring a few brothers to join the Fruit Legion. I wonder if Captain Tang welcomes you or not?"
Tang Miao's heart skipped a beat. It's really a pillow when someone just dozed off. Chen Li was someone they were familiar with, and his character was trustworthy. If they could win over him and his subordinates, the strength of the Fruit Legion would definitely increase greatly. But they trusted Chen Li, but those subordinates still had to test it.
"As far as I know, the base welcomes foreign soldiers very much, and the treatment is favorable. With Chief Chen's ability, it is not impossible to restore his previous status. How could Chief Chen give up such a good opportunity?"
Chen Li had seen Tang Miao's position in the Fruit Corps early on, and he was not dissatisfied with his interruption, and replied: "It is true that this happened. We knew about it when we first entered the base. But along the way, too many The brothers sacrificed their lives to protect those survivors. Since they joined the army, they have been living for others. Whether they say I am selfish or ruthless, I hope they will only live for themselves and their brothers in the future. A person's life , not long."
Everyone in the living room fell silent. These words are very true, and true words are even more touching. And Chen Li can speak. "Live only for myself and my brothers" is implying that once they join the Fruit Legion, the members of the Fruit Legion will also be their brothers.
"Why did Mr. Chen fall in love with the Fruit Corps? There are only a lot more teams than the Water Corps. Moreover, Mr. Chen can form a team by himself. Wouldn't that be more free?" Tang Sihuang didn't express his opinion immediately.
Chen Li smiled, and was a little more relaxed than before: "On the one hand, it's because we are old acquaintances with Captain Tang and everyone, and we know each other well; on the other hand, it's because I'm really not good at leadership. It’s okay to train them, and it’s okay to take them out on missions, but it’s really not my specialty to manage this and that. I believe it’s more secure to follow Captain Tang.”
"Your brothers are willing to obey the leadership of the Fruit Legion?" Although Tang Sihuang thought it would be good for Chen Li and the others to join, he also had concerns. Soldiers are all arrogant, and if a superior suddenly changes, some people will definitely be dissatisfied.
Seeing him let go, Chen Li explained in more detail: "Captain Tang can rest assured on this point. Before I arrived at the base, I had given up my plan to join the army, and I made it clear to those brothers that the others still entered the Kyoto base. The troops, those who follow me are all my good brothers and people I trust, they have carefully considered the pros and cons of joining the Fruit Corps, and absolutely obey Captain Tang's leadership."
Tang Sihuang was silent.
Chen Li's expression didn't change, but he was actually very nervous. He admired Tang Sihuang very much. If he and his brothers could rely on him, the future would be bright. At the same time, he also understands that although the fruit army is small in number, they are powerful, so they may not be favored by them. However, he will not underestimate himself. If the Fruit Legion does not accept them, it will be a big loss.
Tang Sihuang really wanted to accept them, but he couldn't let Chen Li's subordinates think that their fruit army could enter if they wanted to, so he said: "You can accept them, but I need to see the strength of your brothers. Make another decision."
"No problem." Chen Li recovered a bit of anger, "The brothers of the Tang family, including the two young masters, are all very capable. Why don't we compete? Of course it's good that my brothers and I can win. deficit.
"Okay!" Tang Wu and others applauded. I haven't relaxed for a long time, and I just took the opportunity to be lively.
At 8 o'clock the next morning, the Fruit Corps and Chen Li's team assembled at the school playground. The school is a middle school, less than one mile away from the Tang Mansion. After going out, there is a marble pavement. After turning left, there is a road. Follow the road and walk a few steps to the right to reach the school gate. As soon as everyone entered, they saw that the flower beds where flowers should have been planted had been planted with vegetables, and the green leaves were still stained with water, which should have just been watered. But after looking around, I didn't see anyone. The people living inside must have gone out.
All of Chen Li's subordinates were full of energy, worthy of being soldiers. Although they knew that they might join the Fruit Corps, none of them showed dissatisfaction, which made Tang Sihuang very satisfied.
Tang Sihuang understands the arrogance of soldiers and knows how to subdue their hearts: "Today's match is more appropriate to call it a friendly match. If Chen Li's team performs well, it will be a small team of my Fruit Corps from now on, still led by Chen Li .”
As soon as these words came out, many people in Chen Li's team showed a relaxed look on their faces, and they had a little more affection for Tang Sihuang.
"I will notify Chen Li of any arrangements for the Fruit Corps, and he will then pass them on to everyone. If you can't become comrades in arms, there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Chen Li took a step forward: "Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The subordinates said in unison.
The competition method is very simple. A circle with a diameter of four meters is drawn on the ground. The two sides fight in the circle. Whoever gets out of the circle first will lose. In order to avoid accidental injury, the use of powers is not allowed. Chen Li's team included fifteen people in total, while the Fruit Legion had only eleven people, not counting Aunt Chun. Therefore, both sides played five players each, winning three out of five games.
Strictly speaking, the hidden guards are better than soldiers, because they are not only fast and accurate, but also ruthless. Tang Sihuang originally intended to accept Chen Li and others, so Tang Miao, Tang Xin, Tang Chun, Feng Ye and Zhang Wang played. Chen Li must have had the determination to join, so he played in person and picked the four strongest brothers. The two sides draw lots to determine the opponent.
The reason why Tang Miao participated in the competition was to show his strength in front of Chen Li's men. After all, they will also be members of the Fruit Legion, and future contacts will be indispensable. In order to avoid troubles in management and other aspects in the future, he does not want anyone to look down on him. Tang Sihuang wanted to make him stand out, so he naturally agreed to participate without hesitation.
It wasn't a regular game, and there was no need to draw lots to determine the order. Tang Wen shouted, "The first round begins." Tang Miao stepped into the circle with a few steps, and smiled friendlyly at the people on Chen Li's side.
"I'll come first."
His opponent was a military brother named Zhou Xian, who was around 1.8 meters tall. The conditions of the last days had somewhat affected his body. He looked a little thin, but he was still strong. Tang Miao's height is only 1.7 meters, and the sharp opponent made the hearts of the spectators a little weird.
"I will not show mercy," Zhou Hang said.
Tang Xin looked at him sympathetically. This guy is going to suffer, his little brother is a black-bellied master.
Tang Miao narrowed her eyes, then said with a smile, "I will show mercy."
"start!"
At Tang Wen's order, Zhou Hang punched a straight left, very fast, followed by a straight right. Tang Miao knew at a glance that this was a standard military punch, so she avoided it sideways, flew up her right foot, and kicked Zhou Hang's leg that was raised when he kicked right. Zhou Hang almost gasped. This kid looked small, but his strength was not weak at all. The kick on his leg almost hurt his bones, and he took two steps back in a row.
"Be careful!" His comrades hurriedly reminded.
Zhou Hang quickly steadied his body, and when he looked back, he was still a few inches away from going out of bounds.
Tang Miao wouldn't give him a chance to turn around. She raised her lips and smiled, and hurried forward a few steps, left uppercut followed by a right uppercut, followed by a left swinging punch, and kicked fiercely with her right foot, heading straight for Zhou Hang. Zhou Hang quickly raised his arms to block, and the two sides fought together again. At this time, Zhou Hang absolutely did not dare to underestimate Tang Miao. This kid is not only agile, but also strong enough. If he is careless, he will be defeated.
Chen Li and his group of comrades-in-arms were also very surprised. It's not that they haven't heard that Young Master Tang is powerful, and they felt that his reputation was well-deserved when they saw him today.
"Swing hook!" Tang Miao suddenly yelled, but when Zhou Hang was defending his fist, he kicked out suddenly, a kite turned over, spun 360 degrees in the air, put his hands on the ground, and flew out again. foot. Zhou Hang felt a pain in his abdomen and took a few steps back—out of the game.
And Tang Miao flipped over with his hands, landed steadily, moved back a few steps gracefully, stood beside Tang Sihuang, and smiled at him.
Tang Sihuang patted his lower back and smiled back.
"Good!" Chen Li applauded loudly, his comrades came back to their senses and applauded. Although Zhou Hang lost, the battle was really exciting.
Probably stimulated by Tang Miao, the next four rounds were very exciting, and everyone watched intently. In the end, Chen Li's team won three rounds and passed the level smoothly. Tang Wen and the others approached enthusiastically. They were all forthright people, and they quickly became friends.
Tang Sihuang asked Chen Li to take his men out to kill zombies first, and then moved here after he solved the problem of the house.
Tang Miao looked at the church building not far away: "Daddy, let's go and see who lives in the school first?"
"Go. Are your hands okay?" Tang Sihuang took his hand as he walked.
"It's okay." Tang Miao patted the ashes on her hands.
Clothes were drying on a bamboo pole in front of the door on the second floor of the church building. The two went directly to the second floor. Just as they reached the door, the door opened by itself, and two men and a woman walked out.
"What's the matter?" The three looked a little wary.
Tang Miao said: "Hi, excuse me. That's it. One of our friends also wants to buy a house here, so I want to ask you, what is the price of the house here?"
One of the men said: "Most people don't like to live here. The house here is still very cheap. The three of us bought a classroom together, and it cost 300 points."
"Why so cheap?" Tang Miao was very surprised.
