Virus Throne

After closing the light curtain, Xu Youran sat quietly for a long time, his heart was surging, and he missed Dongfang Bai more and more.

Suddenly, the wrist phone gave a prompt, and a new notification was received. Xu Youran was startled. Is there a mission?

Open the light curtain, and a notification popped up.

[Comrade Xu Youran:

In order to commend Comrade Xu Youran for his outstanding performance in the battle to eliminate mutant beasts, the following job adjustment is made.

Xu Youran, the former lieutenant platoon leader of the second company of the first battalion of the first regiment of the 025 base watcher corps, has been adjusted to the company commander of the first company of the first battalion of the second regiment of the 025 base watcher corps.

The rank was promoted from lieutenant to captain. Please contact Comrade Liu Yixuan, the commander of the second regiment, as soon as possible.

Hope that Comrade Xu Youran will work hard and make further progress!

Daqin Wartime Military Committee

January 26, 2036, Earth Star Era]

Seeing this notice, Xu Youran was stunned for a long time. He was promoted to another level of rank?

He saved ten silver merits. This is too fast. He has been in the army for only a few months, but he has been promoted three levels from an ordinary soldier to a captain.

This promotion may have something to do with his participation in the defense when the super bomb hit.

In addition, he killed more than a dozen silver-level mutant beasts and saved more than a dozen awakened warriors.

Xu Youran was calculating silently in his heart, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Just when he was secretly happy, Commander Zou called.

Commander Zou on the phone also smiled so much that his wrinkles seemed to disappear. He first congratulated him, and then told him a bad news.

Originally, he was going to apply for three silver merits for the defense, but now the military directly promoted his rank, so the merit was gone.

Xu Youran needed too many merits, so he didn't care about the three merits being gone.

Commander Zou had just hung up the phone when Liu Yixuan, the head of the Second Regiment of the Watcher Corps, called again.

He was informed that he could move to the headquarters compound at No. 700, Yanjing West Road, tomorrow, where a barracks were reserved for him.

In addition, he needed to go to the headquarters to handle the relevant procedures as soon as possible. As for the main members of the first company under his command, they were the dozen awakened warriors he rescued that day.

After returning to the base for repairs, a dozen awakened warriors were added again, and now there are 30 people in full strength.

Xu Youran also asked about the configuration of the company. When he learned that the position of platoon leader was still vacant, he suddenly thought of someone who was suitable.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Youran's mind reappeared the messy battlefield, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

After all, he was only one person, and his current strength was not enough to sweep everything. He couldn't rescue everyone, which was also a helpless reality.

In the evening, Zhang Haiyang and Li Xuan called him back. Although they were carrying out the clearing mission outside, they were relatively relaxed because they did not encounter silver-level mutant beasts.

It should be fully completed in a few days, and there are still four main lines left.

The four main lines lead to Base 021 in the east, Base 0571 in the south, Base 0551 in the west, and Base 0531 in the north. Once these four main lines are opened, the entire East China region will be connected.

The most difficult one should be the main line leading to Base 021, followed by the main line leading to Base 0551 in the west.

Base 021 was originally an international metropolis with a population of tens of millions. The more people there were, the more people died after the disaster.

The place that once provided countless rations to mutant beasts made the surrounding mutant beasts rush to the Magic City frantically.

The counterattack and clearing plan of Base 025 is about to be completed, and Base 021 is still struggling to defend.

It seems that the next battle plan should be to support the Magic City.

Xu Youran, who entered into meditation again to practice the Natural Sutra, felt the breath of the virus that had just entered his body.

The Natural Sutra regarded it as energy and devoured and absorbed it frantically, but it was a pity that it was just a little short of condensing the golden elixir.

Xu Youran had some understanding. It should not be a matter of quantity, but a matter of quality.

If he could absorb the virus of a gold-level mutant beast once, he should be able to break through that barrier and advance to the Golden Core stage.

There was no qualitative change in the awakening from the second to the third level, which could be seen from the combat power of the third-level awakenings around Xu Youran.

But from the third to the fourth level, there would definitely be a qualitative change. As for the direction of the qualitative change, Xu Youran was still unclear.

There would not be a gold-level awakening who would come to explain the situation to him.

But the natural sutra he practiced, once it leaped from the foundation to the Golden Core stage, it would definitely be an improvement in the essence of life.

For his various physical qualities, combat power, and various abilities, there would definitely be a leap-forward improvement.

But the problem before him was, first, where to find a gold-level mutant beast.

Second, with his current strength, how to die with more dignity when encountering a gold-level mutant beast, was what he should consider more.

Taking advantage of the night rest time, Xu Youran called Captain Ge and Platoon Leader Yang and said goodbye to them.

Although they had only been together for a few months, many of his comrades had helped and taught him a lot.

After all, they were comrades who had fought together, so the relationship was very deep.

Xu Youran told them that they could go to No. 700, Yanjing West Road to find him in the future, and also specifically explained that there would be no wine to drink next time they came.

Captain Ge and Platoon Leader Yang kept saying that he was stingy. Xu Youran could only smile bitterly. He couldn't betray Commander Zou, so he had to take the blame himself.

Dongfang Bai's reply popped up again. This time, there was not much content, only one line of words, but Xu Youran felt warm in his heart.

If you are well, it will be a sunny day.

Xu Youran did not reply. He had decided to rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

The next morning, he packed up casually, changed into a new military uniform and drove to the headquarters at No. 700 Yanjing West Road.

This time, Commander Zou awarded him a rank again. Commander Liu Yixuan was also waiting for him in the office. With one more fierce general under his command, Commander Liu was also very happy.

When leaving Commander Zou's office, Secretary Zhang handed a bank card to Xu Youran. This was his salary card.

He was a regular active-duty officer, often going through life and death, and his monthly salary and allowance were not low.

After joining the army for a few months, Xu Youran was very happy to get his salary card for the first time.

According to Secretary Zhang, there is already more than 100,000 yuan of salary in this card.

Xu Youran was shocked to hear this number. She didn't expect her salary to be so high.

Secretary Zhang explained, "Why is it so high? One silver merit can be exchanged for 500,000 yuan in cash, and your salary is just a drop in the bucket."

Xu Youran's face turned pale at the time, "Five... five hundred thousand? I exchanged five million for a promotion?"

Secretary Zhang smiled and patted Xu Youran's shoulder with a very gratified expression, "That's why Commander Zou looks at you differently. Five million for a promotion, patriotism and love for the army who regard money as dirt."

"No one... no one told me that I can exchange money..." Xu Youran wanted to cry. Five million, isn't it delicious to buy meat?

Although it has not yet fully returned to normal and is still under military control, it is about to be completed.

Social order will be restored soon, and money will be very useful at that time.

Xu Youran, who was once trapped by money, likes money too much, but now he can only show a righteous look.

"My love for the army cannot be measured by money." Xu Youran changed the subject, pulled Secretary Zhang and lowered his voice, "Next time I can exchange my merits for some money, okay? I'm a little tight on money, and it costs a lot to find a partner."

"Where do you have any military merits to exchange for money?" Secretary Zhang looked at Xu Youran strangely, "Don't you still owe the military a hundred times of silver merits?"

"Hiss" Xu Youran's teeth began to ache, so they were waiting for me here.

Maybe the big guys in the military are afraid that he has too many silver merits and will use them to exchange for military ranks and money.

Xu Youran turned around and left, it's over, he was calculated by those old foxes.

Captain Liu smiled strangely and took him to his barracks.

Because of his special identity, he may often have to perform tasks as a destroyer team.

So his company was also arranged to be stationed in the 700 compound on Yanjing West Road, while also taking care of the compound's security work.

Sitting in his new barracks, he looked at the layout. This is an apartment-style room with one bedroom and one living room.

There are also a few elegant pieces of furniture, which should be the original office staff dormitory.

He popped up the light screen and called Zhang Tianbing, "Old Zhang, come to No. 700 Yanjing West Road, Unit 1, Room 202, Apartment No. 5, as soon as possible. There is an emergency."

Zhang Tianbing seemed to be with his family, and there was laughter on the other end of the phone, "Is there an emergency? Do you have a mission? I'll be there soon!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Youran had a smirk on his face.

In the afternoon, Zhang Tianbing arrived at Xu Youran's barracks first, and asked eagerly as soon as he entered the door: "What mission?"

"Hehe, a big mission." Xu Youran was mysterious and didn't explain.

"You moved here?" Zhang Tianbing looked at the room.

After a while, the soldiers of the first company also came to report one after another.

Wang Yuzhou, the platoon leader of the second platoon, and Xiong Yining, the platoon leader of the third platoon, arranged for the soldiers to move into the guard company barracks, and then came to report.

The two saw that Zhang Tianbing, a former member of the Awakener Council, was also there, and felt a little strange. Wasn't this Zhang Tianbing arrested?

Seeing the strange looks of the two, Xu Youran was not surprised, "You three know each other, I won't introduce you in detail."

Wang Yuzhou and the others were a little surprised. They knew Zhang Tianbing, but Zhang Tianbing didn't know them.

Looking at the strange expressions of the two, Xu Youran smiled, "Old Zhang, show them your true face."

Zhang Tianbing was a little amused and put on the lion head mask, "Hello, Platoon Leader Wang, Platoon Leader Xiong."

"Shua" Wang Yuzhou and the others stood up immediately in shock. It turned out that Zhang Tianbing was a member of the Destroyer Squad. This news was too shocking.

No wonder everyone has been wondering where the three awakened masters came from, and they always wear masks.

If it was Zhang Tianbing, then it would be explained.

Xu Youran looked at the surprised looks of the two and was also amused. He briefly explained the matter of Zhang Tianbing's meritorious service.

Then he turned to Zhang Tianbing with a serious expression, "Zhang Tianbing, you are now an active-duty officer, with the rank of second lieutenant. Would you like to join the first company of the first battalion of the second regiment and become the platoon leader of the first platoon?"

Zhang Tianbing finally understood why Xu Youran asked him to come, "Of course I am willing, but will they accept me?"

"Of course they are willing to accept you, my comrade." Xu Youran raised his thumb and pointed at himself, "Brother is now the company commander of the first company."

This time it was Zhang Tianbing who stood up in shock, "You...you...this is the company commander? Company Commander Xu?"
