Chapter 841: Chapter 841
"Join my team, but I’ll say upfront, I only want thirty." Fleischer was clearly trying to intimidate the newbies, but the stewardesses didn’t see it that way and flocked to him. In times like these, only words like ’collective’ and ’team’ could make them feel safe,
Fleischer watched with a smug smile as the newbies hurriedly gathered around him. He had anticipated that these guys would join Landeck’s side, so he didn’t interrupt. The sports stars had to reject them, which instead made them hold a grudge and stay loyal to him.
The suit-wearing young man and the apron-clad woman exchanged glances, pleased with the captain’s approach, but now was not the time to fall out with Landeck.
"Company Commander comrade, as you see, the more people there are, the less advantageous it becomes. What we need are elites, and if you join us, Huangfu Xiong was once a Special Forces Instructor." Xu Changtai didn’t care about those disposable newbies and was eagerly recruiting the soldiers; this was not a force to underestimate. If used well, it could definitely increase chances of survival.
Dantai went straight to the Company Commander and whispered his military rank in his ear.
"This is an extraordinary event. Join us, not just for your own survival, but for the future of this country," Dantai said seriously, staring earnestly at the Company Commander, "Your decision could affect the lives and deaths of thirty-nine soldiers."
Huangfu Xiong stepped forward, and Lin Weiguo also came to build relations with the Company Commander. This was not the time to be reserved or modest.
Seeing this, the other newbies were disgusted, feeling undervalued. If it hadn’t been for the Germans equally not needing them, they might have impulsively defected to the German camp.
"What, you think you’re too good for ordinary citizens like us?" Shen Fenshu, a shrewish woman, stood out, hands on her hips, pointing at Dantai and the Company Commander and cursing them, and she didn’t spare the soldiers either. She actually wanted to curse Xu Changtai too, but thinking about the half-price jewelry deal, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
A group of university students, five middle-aged women, and four old men—Tang Zheng didn’t want them either; they were too much of a burden. As he thought about how to reject them without negative consequences, Lu Fan had already started shouting loudly.
"Uncle, we’re at such a disadvantage with so many people, what do we do? Everyone’s going to die, Fanfan’s going to die, woo woo!" Lu Fan started crying, and Cheng Cheng, not understanding but after being pinched on the buttocks by Lu Fan, pouted and began crying too.
Seeing the two little girls crying loudly, the newbies showed no sympathy, finding them incredibly burdensome. The shrew Fenshu immediately ran to Xu Changtai, offering a flattering smile.
"Xu big brother, you’re such a good person, you can’t abandon us after leading us across the river." Fenshu’s face was an unpleasant sight, and she was oblivious as she threw a coquettish glance at Xu Changtai.
"What bridge have I crossed?" Xu Changtai almost vomited in disgust. Seeing that the four women and the old men had also come over, he immediately rejected them.
"No, it’s too many people, I don’t want them." Xu Changtai couldn’t pretend to be the good guy anymore; choosing young and strong individuals was never a mistake, whatever the difficulty.
"You can’t do this." When Fenshu saw Xu Changtai push her back to talk to the Company Commander, she got angry, grabbing his arm to prevent him from leaving.
"Get lost." Xu Changtai signaled North Wind with a look, who understood and charged over, kicking Fenshu hard in the waist and knocking her to the ground. He’d had enough of her crap already.
The old men were as silent as cicadas in winter; after being rejected, they hung their heads and walked toward Tang Zheng’s side. The source of this content ɪs novel(ꜰ)ire.net
There was no need for Tang Zheng to act, as Pang Meiqin and Yu Manli, fearful of dying, had already jumped out and blocked them.
"Get lost, all of you." Chen Hong, full of pride and armed with a Thunderstorm rifle, waved it at the newbies.
With all the dirty work intercepted by others, Tang Zheng was carefree, observing each member of the German team’s habits.
"Group Leader, can I join your team?" Shen Qingshuang made her move, carrying her computer bag to Tang Zheng, adjusting her glasses, "I studied computer science; I might be of use to you. I’ve also learned Sanda, and my physical condition isn’t bad; I won’t slow you down."
Shen Qingshuang was selling herself; she needed to market her skills because she had been observing from the side and had seen all of Lu Fan’s antics. Coupled with the glimpses of the Protective Clothing fabric around Qin Yan and Dantai’s necks, she managed to guess that this team, at least in terms of equipment, was no less remarkable than Xu Changtai’s and seemed to have more humanity. Only with them could she ensure that she wouldn’t be used as cannon fodder.
"Hey, did you choose this place because they agreed to have us join?" Another university student who liked to be in the spotlight and had talked to the German stewardesses suddenly shouted, urging his classmates to join Landeck’s team.
"What are you hesitating for? They’re international friends, wanting to help us. They’ve been through over a dozen of these killing games; they’re very experienced," the university student clearly had a bit of blind admiration for the foreigners, urging his peers, "They only want elites; you’ve got to seize the chance."
A few university students were swayed, looked at each other, and walked over.
"Think carefully. If the Germans choose you, it’s to use you as cannon fodder." Tang Zheng spoke out, trying to advise them, not wanting to watch them go to their deaths.
"What’s it to you?" The university student complained to Tang Zheng when he saw his classmates hesitating and stopping, "Don’t hesitate, I went through so much trouble to persuade them to take you."
"Asking for trouble." Noticing room fighting wasn’t punished, Lu Fan wouldn’t let go of anyone who insulted Tang Zheng. He dashed over, pulled out a G36K, jumped up, and harshly slapped it across the student’s cheek.
The university student immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and several teeth, screaming as he fell down. The stewardesses nearby were shocked and stepped back.
"Hmph, didn’t you see? It’s these stewardesses who encouraged him to draw you into the line of fire; this guy isn’t good news," Lu Fan kept moving, kicking the student in the head relentlessly, "Think about his usual behavior, does it make sense?"
