They knew that with these weapons, Golden Bull Town would be more powerful in facing the challenges of the apocalypse.
The 400-strong Women's Seventh Brigade was established!
In the deep darkness of the night, four massive armored vehicles stood before them like steel behemoths, their steel weight and sturdiness seemingly able to withstand all the storms and threats of the world.
Shadow and the others were overwhelmed by the sudden shock; their breath seemed to stop, and only endless astonishment remained in their hearts.
"This...this really is the weaponry from the armory we obtained?" Shadow's voice trembled slightly as he stared at the four armored vehicles, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Sato, however, was beaming with pride, puffing out his chest as if it were all his own achievement.
"That's right, these are our spoils! Look at the momentum, look at the power, how about it, impressive, isn't it!"
Yoko Okino, Tensei Nakano, Ai Hoshino, Satomi Ishihara, and others were also overwhelmed by the shock. They stood aside, their eyes filled with awe and wonder at the weapons before them.
"This...we're really about to rise up!"
Miharu Kashiwagi's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes shone with ecstatic joy, as if he could already see their glorious future.
Nakano Tensei snapped out of his daze, laughed heartily, and his face was full of satisfaction:
"Haha, I knew the captain would always surprise us with his moves! This time is no exception!"
He knew that with these weapons, their strength and influence would experience a qualitative leap, and he himself would rise in status as their power increased.
Yoko Okino watched Chang Wei with a smile, her eyes full of trust.
She never underestimated Chang Wei, and Chang Wei never disappointed her.
Therefore, she took everything that happened to Chang Wei for granted.
Hoshino Ai excitedly chimed in, "Now that we've acquired so many weapons, we absolutely must celebrate! I'll go arrange it right away!"
She was Chang Wei's woman, and seeing their power grow stronger, she was naturally overjoyed.
Therefore, she left without hesitation to arrange the celebration.
Chang Wei looked at everyone, his eyes filled with seriousness: "Now that we have so many modern weapons, we must take good care of them and not allow any mistakes! In particular, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, grenades, and armored vehicles must be guarded more strictly!"
He knew all too well the power of these weapons, and that if they were taken away, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Nakano Tensei nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Captain. We've arranged for a lot of people to guard these weapons closely. Shadow even lives near the armory, so he'll know immediately if anything happens."
He knew the importance of the armory, so he laid a tight net in the vicinity, with both visible and hidden sentries on high alert.
Beneath the layers of protective barriers, the defenses were so tight that even the smallest mosquito could not break through.
Chang Wei nodded in satisfaction, his tense nerves finally relaxing.
He then instructed Nakano Tensei to properly store the newly acquired weapons, ensuring that each one was safe and secure.
Upon entering the solemn hall of the mansion, everyone was already seated in order.
Chang Wei's gaze swept over everyone present, and he slowly spoke: "Now we have powerful weapons in our hands, and our strength has increased many times over, but there are still shortcomings."
"The primary challenge is the lack of professional personnel. Although we have armored vehicles, we have few people who can drive them. Fortunately, Tokugawa Ieyasu was there, which enabled us to bring them back safely. However, in the future, we will also have tanks, helicopters, and even missiles. Therefore, we urgently need to train and introduce more professional personnel."
"I will spare no expense for these talents. Whether it is food or weapons, as long as they possess the professional skills we need, I will provide them generously."
Chang Wei's words were forceful and resolute, conveying his determination.
Everyone listened intently. At this moment, Hoshino Ai had completed her arrangements and returned to the hall.
She listened quietly to Chang Wei's speech, her heart filled with anticipation.
Yoko Okino added from the side, "Captain, we're already in action, trying to find talent among ordinary people. Once we find someone, we'll improve their treatment and even give them a permanent position. We've already discovered some promising talents."
However, she frowned slightly, "But our team is still too weak, and high-tech talent is especially scarce."
Chang Wei nodded in agreement: "As long as we have started, it is a good start. As for the number of people, we can solve that step by step."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Regarding the number of people, I have another idea. Our current strength is three hundred people, but I think that's not enough. I propose to expand it further and establish the Seventh Battalion."
"Establish the Seventh Brigade?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
The formation of a large team not only means a greater investment of resources and manpower, but more importantly, who will become the leader of this new team?
This is indeed a question worth pondering.
However, they saw unwavering faith and determination in Chang Wei's eyes.
Amidst the turmoil surrounding the formation of the Seventh Brigade, everyone's attention was focused on the selection of the vice-captain, as if it were a contest concerning honor and status.
Chang Wei's new decision is aimed at Tokyo!
"The establishment of the Seventh Battalion is indeed imperative. Our strength is sufficient to support more combat units, but the key question is, who will be the leader of the Seventh Battalion?"
Nakano Tensei, as the vice-commander, revealed a faint worry about the unknown situation in his words.
He wasn't worried about his own position being threatened, but rather felt a little confused about the purpose and positioning of this new team.
However, Chang Wei confidently broke the silence. "Everyone, please be patient. I have a bold idea for this new team—it will be composed entirely of women. As for the captain, I prefer Kashiwagi Miharu; and the vice-captain will be Nakano Miki."
When this statement came out, everyone was lost.
Women's brigade?
This was utterly unheard of to them.
Kashiwagi Miharu and Nakano Miki were stunned by the sudden appointment.
Miharu Kashiwagi felt a mix of emotions.
She knew that the position of captain represented endless honor and responsibility, and also meant bearing enormous pressure.
Although this is a women's team, their power and status should not be underestimated.
Despite having the protection of Nakano Tengo, Nakano Miki was still somewhat caught off guard by this appointment.
Seeing this, Chang Wei smiled and explained, “I know you are all surprised. But please believe me, this is a well-thought-out decision. Women make up a third of the population in our survivor base, and their strength cannot be ignored. Of course, I will not let them fight zombies rashly. We will conduct rigorous training, including hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and reaction speed. Only those who pass the assessment will be given real missions.”
Upon hearing this, the doubts of the crowd gradually dissipated.
They began to realize that this was not just an all-female team, but a brand-new attempt and exploration of future combat capabilities.
At this moment, Miharu Kashiwagi and Miki Nakano also felt an unprecedented challenge and opportunity.
In the dust of the apocalypse, the recruitment notice of the Seventh Brigade was like a ray of dawn, illuminating people's hope.
They only need twenty warriors, but these twenty must be all-around fighters—their fighting skills must be like a tiger descending a mountain, their firearms skills must be like a whirlwind, and their assassination methods must be as silent as a ghost.
"Isn't that the legendary female special forces soldier?"
Some people in the crowd whispered, their voices filled with awe and anticipation.
Before the apocalypse, there was a group of women who, though physically inferior to men, often displayed strength that surpassed that of men in certain missions, thanks to their wisdom, resilience, and meticulousness.
Chang Wei's gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on Kashiwagi Miharu and Nakano Miki. He smiled and said:
"I see that both of you have the potential for interrogation. Would you like to give this task a try?"
Tokugawa Kōmu will personally guide you, but I only want the elite; there can be no mistakes.
Miharu Kashiwagi and Miki Nakano exchanged a glance, a determined look flashing in their eyes. They stood up and answered in unison, "Yes, Captain! We will do our utmost and live up to your expectations!"
Chang Wei nodded in satisfaction and continued, "We also need to hurry up with the population issue. There must be many survivors outside waiting for our rescue. Our arsenal is full, more than enough to protect everyone's safety. You should not only look for those small survivor groups, but also try to penetrate into the outskirts of Qingshui County to find out the distribution of zombies there, so as to prepare for our future recapture work."
Although Chang Wei spoke calmly, everyone could feel the urgency in his words.
It was as if he was planning a life-or-death battle in advance, and they were the vanguard in this battle.
Everyone's brows furrowed, but they knew that...
This is their only hope for survival.
Seeing that Chang Wei's words hinted at a departure, Takagi Saya finally couldn't help but ask, "Chang Wei, there's something behind your words. Are you planning to leave us for a while?"
She had a close relationship with Chang Wei, so she spoke her mind.
Chang Wei nodded in confirmation: "Yes, I do need to leave temporarily. It might be for ten days or half a month, so I'll make some arrangements first."
"We are at a critical stage of development. Where are you going if you leave now?" Takagi Saya asked, puzzled.
"Tokyo City Base"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in astonishment, all showing expressions of surprise.
Nakano Tensei frowned and advised, "Captain Changwei, this is no child's play. Tokyo is a large base with thousands of people, and it is also under the leadership of the Holy Emperor. Once they learn about our situation, they will probably see us as prey. As the leader of our base, this move is too risky."
Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing that Tokyo was like a tiger at their side; if they knew of their existence, they would surely launch an attack.
For safety reasons, they did not want Chang Wei to easily set foot in Tokyo.
Ada Wong and Miharu Kashiwagi also spoke up:
"Captain Chang Wei, is it because of the maids you led before? Are you planning to go to Tokyo for them?"
They had also heard Chang Wei mention it.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, Chang Wei also had a group of women.
Although they were ordinary people, they had fought alongside Chang Wei and knew that he had promised to keep them by his side.
