Chapter 758: Xi City Is About to Undergo Massive Development

Just like that, the seats for Xi City's thirteen captains were tentatively settled today.

Most of them were uncontested.

The main disputes were over the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth seats.

These three refused to submit to each other, each finding the others intolerable.

They even wanted to redo the competition.

These three clowns gave Elder Hou Junji such a headache that his brain was throbbing.

Hou Junji had no choice but to say to Chen Ye, "Chief Chen, these are your men. You deal with them yourself!"

Chen Ye chuckled and said to the three, "How about this? You three fight it out again. Whoever wins becomes the boss!"

Chen Ye even dragged a chair over, looking like he was thoroughly enjoying the show.

The three exchanged glances, rolled their eyes at Chen Ye in unison, then turned and walked away.

As for actually fighting Chen Ye, they didn't quite dare.

After all, someone who had earned Elder Hou Junji's acknowledgment was not an opponent they could handle.

People who recklessly jumped out in defiance, at least after You Hu, no longer existed.

Even if someone wanted to challenge Chen Ye's chief seat, it wouldn't be now.

Just like that, Guard Team Thirteen was officially established!

But while Guard Team Thirteen was officially formed, the thirteen captains had practically no soldiers under them.

Chen Ye actually wanted to pull Iron Lion over. That guy was the perfect candidate for a Guard Team One member.

But that guy still hadn't recovered.

Hou Junji's suggestion was that all thirteen captains could recruit members on their own.

Members could come from their own convoys or from other convoys.

The Silent Council didn't really involve itself in these matters.

Actually, the Silent Council had hidden needles in this too.

By doing this, they had another motive, which was to break up the convoy-based organizational structure.

If the Silent Council wanted to gain dominance in Xi City, the best approach was to dissolve the convoys that had banded together.

But even knowing the Silent Council's intentions, Chen Ye and Chu Che and the others held an indifferent attitude.

In their view, it was still uncertain how long Xi City would last.

However, recruiting members was also a troublesome matter.

Because the entire Happy Garden only had about two thousand people.

And only a few dozen Superhumans.

Excluding the Support Sequences, there were even fewer main combat Sequence Superhumans suitable for recruitment as members.

Therefore, the thirteen captains were mostly just figurehead commanders at this point.

Even if they had a few members under them, those were just able-bodied people pulled from their own convoys.

For example, Wu Zehui had one member under him, and this member was from their Post-Apocalyptic Opera Troupe Convoy.

At present, Guard Team Thirteen was only in its initial stage, with many follow-up matters needing refinement.

For instance, Elder Hou Junji proposed forming a Xi City Council.

The members of the Xi City Council would be the Pathfinder Sequence captains from each convoy.

It was just that this council was very rough.

Not only was the council rough, but actually many things were rough.

For example, Guard Team Thirteen only had its duties clarified as protecting the Thirteenfold Absolute-Sealing Formation and maintaining the daily order of Happy Garden.

Anyway, at present, everyone combined numbered less than two thousand people, so a bit of roughness was acceptable.

As for follow-up matters, they could only depend on future developments.

But what Chen Ye and the others hadn't expected was this.

Elder Hou's abilities far exceeded their imagination.

...

Chu Che and Sun Xixi had their own reasons for wanting Chen Ye to become the Guard Team's chief.

At present, in Happy Garden.

Although the Fair Convoy's numbers weren't the highest.

It could absolutely be considered one of the top few convoys in all of Happy Garden.

With Chen Ye as chief, they could fight for more benefits for the convoy in Xi City in the future.

Just after Chen Ye and the others returned to Building 17, Xue Nan brought over a man in his thirties.

This person was precisely that survivor from the former Apocalypse Rhapsodists Convoy.

Previously, when Chu Che invited this guy to join the Fair Convoy, this guy had been hesitant, and even gave that blade Ye had left behind to Jiang Rou.

Chu Che thought this person would take the remaining survivors of the Apocalypse Rhapsodists Convoy and join the Shepherd Convoy.

Unexpectedly, after Chen Ye and Sun Xixi became captains of Guard Team Thirteen.

This person immediately brought the remaining survivors rushing over to pledge allegiance.

"I invited you before, why didn't you come?"

Toward an ordinary survivor, Chu Che didn't show any courtesy and directly asked what he wanted to ask.

The man's expression was somewhat awkward, but he still said earnestly, "I'm sorry, Captain Chu. I had to be responsible for the fifty-three people behind me!"

"Then why did you come now?"

The man glanced at Chen Ye and Sun Xixi, then gritted his teeth and said, "Because the Fair Convoy is the best choice!"

After saying this, the man directly knelt down before Chu Che, his forehead pressed to the ground, not daring to look up.

Actually, the reason wasn't hard to guess. It was because of Chen Ye and Sun Xixi, both of whom had obtained the chief seat and fourth seat among Guard Team Thirteen.

People had already started secretly saying that the Fair Convoy was the number one convoy.

Although many people didn't acknowledge it, Chen Ye's chief seat and Sun Xixi's fourth seat were still very persuasive.

The Superhumans knew the inside story, but the ordinary survivors didn't!

Chu Che sighed. Toward the man's little schemes, he didn't feel disgusted.

In an apocalypse like this, who wasn't struggling to survive?

"Alright, I permit you to join the Fair Convoy."

"From now on, you are a member of the Fair Convoy!"

"By the way, what's your name?"

The man was overjoyed, kowtowing repeatedly on the ground, not caring that his forehead was bleeding from the impact, bright red blood streaming down his face.

"Thank you, Captain Chu, thank you, Captain Chu!"

"My name is Deng Hao!"

Just like that, the Fair Convoy gained another fifty people.

The convoy's total population had now reached one hundred and thirty-seven.

By this calculation, the Fair Convoy's numbers were also considered relatively large in all of Happy Garden.

But the developments that followed left everyone dumbfounded.

Even Elder Hou Junji was somewhat caught off guard.

After he had taken Xi City, he had fully utilized his abilities to spread information about the situation here in Xi City.

He had originally thought that even if people came, it would at most be a bit more than before.

But unexpectedly, in the time that followed, far more people arrived than he had imagined.

He had underestimated people's expectations for a suitable living environment.

And he had also underestimated the power of that letter of his.
