C1343 General
C1343 General
Wang Yi could not help but smile, and then gestured at his neck. He did not know whether the mutated Zombie King could understand him or not, but it seemed like it understood the furious look on his face the next moment.
The group of corpses did not return to the capital once again, because the mutated Zombie King knew that if it went back, there would be very little survivors among the four million plus people.
The long night finally passed, the survivors who were hiding in the cave were already in despair, but when the second day of the cave was opened, they saw the same familiar yet strange gathering place.
A third of the buildings had been destroyed, more than 600,000 survivors had been eaten by the corpses, and 500,000 soldiers had been killed or injured.
This was undoubtedly not a huge blow to the gathering place of the capital, but at the same time, they were also very happy. If not for the corpses not being drawn out, this battle might not have ended yet.
This was already a blessing in disguise.
The military base had been destroyed by the corpses, and now all the officials in the gathering area were gathered in the central building.
Wang Yi was wearing a military uniform, but there was no rank on his shoulder.
When they were at the Grand Green Mountain gathering point before, even though Wang Yi's clothes were basically the same, it was after all, just worn by him, so it couldn't be considered formal. But this time, in order to thank Wang Yi for what he had done to the capital gathering point.
Shen Zhenguo will personally award the title to Wang Yi.
But unfortunately, Shen Zhenguo and the other high-ranking officers all begged Wang Yi to agree to the award no matter what, even if it was out of gratitude towards them. As such, how could Wang Yi not understand, once the title was conferred, the responsibility on Wang Yi's shoulders would not just be a matter of gathering Grand Green Mountain.
Hundreds of thousands of survivors gathered at the foot of the Red Wall. They had all received news of who had rescued them from the corpses last night. Coming here today was entirely a spontaneous organization.
"Leader Wang Yi, please!"
Shen Zhenguo raised his hand and the soldier holding the tray walked over. Wang Yi subconsciously looked down and saw that the ranks neatly arranged on the tray were three golden stars!
Admiral!
A hint of shock flashed across Wang Yi's eyes. He looked at Shen Zhenguo in disbelief.
Perhaps Shen Zhenguo had already known that Wang Yi would have such a reaction, so he chuckled and said softly.
"Lil 'Bro Wang Yi, don't worry, this is something you should have."
"General... "Elder Shen, your work is not small." Wang Yi shook his head with a wry smile. To be promoted from a soldier to a general straight away, wasn't that too shocking even in the apocalypse?
And now, as far as Wang Yi knew, Shen Zhenguo was the only officer with the rank of general in the gathering area of the capital.
If Wang Yi was given this rank, wouldn't that mean...
"Haha, Little Brother Wang Yi, you misunderstood me." Seeing Wang Yi's eyes twinkling, Shen Zhenguo laughed and said.
"I know you don't want to be restrained, so this general's rank is just an honorary one. You don't have to bear any responsibility for the gathering place in the capital, but your gathering place can be supported by the gathering place in the capital, including your subordinates. All the soldiers and officers here officially recognize their legitimacy …"
When Wang Yi heard Shen Zhenguo's words, the astonishment in his eyes did not disappear. Instead, it became even more intense.
Shen Zhenguo's intention was to give Wang Yi a reasonable title, but he did not have to take responsibility for the gathering place in the capital.
If a gathering place wanted to expand, then it would have to annex all the other gathering places. And now in the apocalypse, as long as it was someone with a little idea, they would all want to be the leader, who would be willing to hand over the hard work they had built to someone else?
And now, only the capital, the gathering place, had the right to annex the other gathering place, which was perfectly justified. And once the Grand Green Mountain Gathering place had Wang Yi's military title, annexation of the other gathering place would not be a problem in name.
However, there was nothing good about Shen Zhenguo doing this.
Shen Zhenguo paused for a second as he noticed the doubt in Wang Yi's eyes. However, this time, his tone was deeper.
"The strength of zombies is much stronger than us humans. I can't put the eggs in the same basket right now …"
