Chapter 757: The Thirteen Captains

When Chen Ye and the others surrounded and attacked Xu Wan on the beach earlier, they had caused an enormous commotion.

Even though most of the people here had not participated in that battle, the captains of their respective convoys were all pathfinders. A pathfinder’s extraordinarily powerful perception could naturally sense the terrifying auras of Xu Wan and Number Two.

Number Two’s aura in particular had filled people with fear and despair.

At the time, when Number Two’s aura appeared, many convoys had already begun preparing to flee.

An existence possessing an aura as powerful as Number Two’s could challenge every Superhuman in the entire base alone.

At this stage, it was an invincible existence.

But in the end, Number Two’s aura disappeared.

Although no one had deliberately spread the matter far and wide, there were still all kinds of rumors among the Superhumans.

Some were true, while others were false.

“Everyone, four Sequence 3s died in that battle! One of them was even a senior observer of the Silent Council!”

When the bird’s voice fell, the surrounding crowd let out an even louder chorus of sharp gasps.

Four Sequence 3s. In some of the weaker convoys, having even one Sequence 3 was already impressive.

Yet four Sequence 3s had died in that battle.

Although rumors had circulated throughout the base for some time, many people still found it unbelievable after hearing Elder Hou Junji say it personally.

Chu Che lowered his eyes slightly. In a place no one else could see, a trace of guilt flashed through his gaze.

Back then, he had thought that Chen Ye, Sun Xixi, Jiang Rou, Lin Qingge, and the others would be enough.

One had to understand that Sun Xixi, Jiang Rou, Wu Zehui, and Lin Qingge were all top-tier Sequence 4s on the base’s side.

Moreover, time had been short back then, so he could only urgently find these familiar Sequence 4s to lend a hand.

But no one had expected Xu Wan and Number Two to be two Anomalies sharing one body.

If he had known earlier, he definitely would not have allowed that battle to take place.

If he had been given more time, he might have invited more Superhumans to participate in the encirclement. Perhaps Number One, Ye, Xu Linhao, and Song Wei would not have fallen.

The bird’s voice also sank slightly.

But he continued, “If it had not been for Chen Ye, perhaps every one of us would already be dead!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell silent.

For a moment, all kinds of gazes turned toward Chen Ye.

There was suspicion, wariness, and awe!

Elder Hou Junji’s words had been vague, but that very vagueness made everyone wary.

Some people also looked toward Sun Xixi and Jiang Rou, watching the expressions on their faces.

Sun Xixi and Jiang Rou remained as calm as still water. They seemed to show no reaction at all to Elder Hou Junji’s words.

Yet it was precisely this lack of reaction that caused even more speculation in everyone’s hearts.

Hou Junji’s vague statement made everyone’s imagination run wild.

“Very well. Does anyone else object to Mr. Chen Ye becoming the captain of Guard Team One?”

This time, no one objected.

Earlier, that muscled brute had jumped out to oppose the proposal, only to find several Sequence 4s around him expressing faint hostility toward him.

Especially those two extremely beautiful women, one of whom was Demoness Jiang.

If even Demoness Jiang had not objected, no one else would dare to object.

Besides, there were thirteen Guard Teams. Even if Chen Ye took one position, twelve seats remained.

Chen Ye himself, on the other hand, wanted to stand up and object. He had no desire to involve himself in such troublesome matters.

Unfortunately, he discovered that Chu Che had a death grip on one of his hands.

His other hand was being held tightly by Sun Xixi!

Chu Che seriously shook his head at Chen Ye.

Chen Ye paused slightly, but he did not stand up after all.

“Good. Then it is settled. Mr. Chen Ye will become the captain of Guard Team One!”

“Next, the captain of Guard Team Two will be Jiang Rou of the Shepherd Convoy!”

“Miss Jiang is a Sequence 4 ancient martial artist. Does anyone object?”

Sun Xixi could actually have taken the second position as well.

However, Chen Ye was already becoming the chief captain of the Guard Teams. It was naturally impossible to give the second position to the Fair Convoy too.

If things were arranged that way, the Fair Convoy would stand out far too much.

Demoness Jiang stood up. Her red backless bodycon dress made her figure look exceptionally alluring and beautiful among the crowd.

Especially her pair of long, straight, perfectly proportioned legs. Any random photograph of them could become a masterpiece.

“Legs longer than life itself.” That was Jiang Rou!

Yet no one dared to look at her.

Quite a few of the Superhumans present had previously coveted Jiang Rou because of her sexy and provocative appearance, hoping to take advantage of her. In the end, they had been beaten black and blue.

Everyone lowered their heads. No one dared to stand up and object, and no one dared let their gaze wander.

Chen Ye sighed softly. “What a shame. I thought there would be a good show, but these people are too cowardly. Not a single one of them has the guts!”

Jiang Rou heard Chen Ye and immediately glared furiously at him.

One had to admit that this crazy woman, Jiang Rou, looked incredibly beautiful when she was angry, even though she was extremely violent.

The people around them also glared angrily at Chen Ye.

Many of them muttered inwardly, This One-eyed Guy really is a terrible person. Who the hell would dare tug on Demoness Jiang’s whiskers? Does he think he has not died quickly enough?

Even the muscled brute who had opposed Chen Ye earlier was sitting obediently at this moment.

He kept his head lowered and did not dare look in Jiang Rou’s direction.

That fellow had only arrived a few days ago. On his very first day, he had been brutally beaten by Demoness Jiang.

One had to understand that Demoness Jiang had not even fully recovered at that time.

Even so, she had beaten that muscled brute until he had experienced every form of agony and ecstasy.

Elder Hou Junji also sighed faintly, as though his thoughts were the same as Chen Ye’s.

He had wanted to watch a good show too, but no one had jumped out!

What a pity. What a pity~

“Good. For the captain of Guard Team Three, I nominate Wu Zehui of the Post-Apocalyptic Opera Troupe Convoy, a user of the Hundred Acts Sequence!”

“Does anyone object?”

Wu Zehui stood up and looked at everyone around him with a beaming smile.

A few quiet whispers rose from below.

But no one objected.

Wu Zehui was smoothly elected captain of Guard Team Three.

“Next, Miss Sun Xixi of the Fair Convoy, a user of the Sword Immortal Sequence, will become the captain of Guard Team Four!”

“Does anyone object?”

This time, there was even less chance of anyone objecting.

Sun Xixi’s reputation was as great as Jiang Rou’s.

Although Sun Xixi was much gentler than Demoness Jiang, that did not mean she was weak.

Sun Xixi stood up, holding the hilt of the Fire Dragon Sword, and remained there quietly, resembling a sword herself.

“Ahem. Since no one has any objections, Miss Sun will be the captain of Guard Team Four!”

With this, two of the first five captains were Superhumans from the Fair Convoy.

The Fair Convoy could now be considered the strongest convoy on their side.

“For the fifth position, I nominate Miss Lin Qingge of the Happy Family Convoy, a user of the Songstress Sequence!”

“Does anyone object?”

Even if Lin Qingge’s strength was not the greatest, she was definitely the most popular person here.

This was especially true because of her sweet smile and her identity as a Songstress Sequence user.

Her singing had become a source of comfort for many people who had survived the apocalypse.

Hearing Lin Qingge’s voice could heal many wounds in people’s hearts.

No one competed with her for the fifth position.

Lin Qingge smoothly became the fifth captain of the Guard Teams.

When it was finally time to announce the sixth captain, Hou Junji said a name.

Then a large number of people jumped out to oppose it.

Seeing this, Hou Junji sighed faintly.

But the situation before him had not exceeded his expectations.

The reason he had not announced the establishment of the Guard Teams earlier was precisely because he feared this kind of situation.

If the creation of the Guard Teams had been announced in advance, the chaos might have been more than ten times worse than it was now.

Perhaps they could have discussed it for three days and three nights without reaching a decision.

This was the apocalypse. Where would they find so much time to waste?

Fortunately, they had settled the first five captain positions on the spot.

In the end, three people immediately emerged to compete for the sixth captain position.

One of the Superhumans competing was also a Sequence 4, namely the one who had jumped out to oppose Chen Ye earlier.

A Sequence 4 Fist Master. His name was You Hu.

That fellow came from the Wolf Pack Convoy.

It was the massive convoy with five hundred people.

In the end, this muscled brute named You Hu relied on his pair of Iron Fists to secure the sixth position.

The seventh position was contested in another fierce struggle.

The eighth position, however, produced another unexpected result.

Another Superhuman from the Wolf Pack Convoy obtained the eighth position.

She was an extremely shy young girl who looked no older than fifteen or sixteen. She was not tall, appearing to be only around one and a half meters.

She looked somewhat similar to Little Fish.

However, she was nowhere near as boisterous as Little Fish.

Whenever people noticed her, the girl shyly hid behind You Hu.

From the way the girl addressed him, You Hu was actually her older brother, her biological brother.

Yet the two of them looked completely different.

Chen Ye even maliciously guessed that perhaps they were biological siblings who shared a mother but had different fathers.

But when this little sister made her move, she truly gave everyone a fright.

This girl was actually a user of the Demon Sequence.

For a moment, quite a few people fell silent.

The Demon Sequence!

That was the villainous Sequence!

Who could they even complain to? Such a shy little girl was actually a user of the Demon Sequence!

The moment this little girl attacked, demonic energy surged around her. She looked even more like a villain than Chen Ye.

The people competing with her for the eighth position surrendered after exchanging only a few moves.

Thus, You Mengmeng became the eighth captain of the Guard Teams.

She was also the youngest captain in the Guard Teams at present.

You Hu looked extremely pleased with himself and even raised his eyebrows at Chen Ye.

The Wolf Pack Convoy became the second convoy after the Fair Convoy to possess two captains in the Guard Teams.

The ninth captain position was once again taken by the Shepherd Convoy.

Zhan Lei, a Sequence 4 Breeder, secured the ninth captain position in the Guard Teams.

The Shepherd Convoy became the third convoy to possess two captains in the Guard Teams.

For a while, this won him quite a few sidelong glances.

Zhan Lei had not participated in the battle against Number Two earlier.

Otherwise, he certainly would not have escaped the fate of falling at that time.

The tenth position went to someone no one recognized, but the competition was extremely fierce.

The eleventh position also went to someone no one recognized.

The same was true of the twelfth position.

When it came time for the thirteenth position, Chu Che stood up and recommended Chen Hao.

Upon hearing the name Chen Hao, faint smiles appeared at the corners of many people’s mouths.

Everyone knew Chen Hao as a saintly Do-Gooder.

In the end, no one competed with her for this final position. More than sixty percent of the people agreed to let her become the captain of the thirteenth team.

Thus, Chen Hao became the thirteenth captain, her entire face flushed bright red.
