You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 359 Chi Ping's Disguise

Ikehira and his group stayed at East A111 Fortress for another three days.

The main reason was the order from the bunker. Chi Ping planned to pretend to be the fortress's garrison commander, Pan Boxing, and go to Da'an Bunker.

While figuring things out, check to see if Yin Tian is there.

To impersonate Pan Boxing, one would need to know a lot about him. While Chi Ping was getting familiar with Pan Boxing's identity, Xiao Yun begged Huo Ba to take her to the wilderness to tame some wild beasts and replenish the herd.

She couldn't even imagine how powerful the beast that the S-rank helped to tame would be!

Since the fortress hadn't experienced large-scale warfare, everything within was relatively well-preserved. The treasury and other places were even more well-documented, but after the catastrophe, record-keeping practices had become lax, and many things were simply handled as a matter of procedure.

Chi Ping looked through the information for a long time and asked Rachel to call someone up.

When Pan Boxing fled that day, he only took his wife and the chief of staff who helped him collect supplies. However, there were still a few people close to him in the fortress.

One was the garrison commander's second-in-command, the second-in-command of the fortress. Usually, in a fortress, the second-in-command would be in charge of a battalion.

This assistant official was a fat, fair-skinned man. Perhaps the shadow of the tiger eating people had not yet dissipated, so he ran in.

Beads of sweat formed on his forehead and face, and his breathing was rapid. He stood still for a long time before catching his breath. Looking at the empty main seat in the conference room, the assistant official felt a little nervous and uneasy.

After a while, a voice came from the back of the conference room: "Sir, someone is here."

Zuo Erguan saw the woman who had ordered the man-eating tiger to eat the middle-aged businessman come out. However, the woman did not take the main seat directly. Instead, she stood aside and waited with her hands folded, just like him.

A minute or two later, Garrison Commander Pan Boxing emerged from the back of the conference room, his expression stern and serious.

He calmly sat down in the main seat, and when he looked up he saw the horrified assistant official.

Zuo Erguan did not escape with Pan Boxing, but he saw the half-dead body that was sent back to the fortress. For a moment, he was filled with inexplicable fear and doubt.

My face was flushed as I jogged over here, but when I saw that familiar face, it turned pale again.

The demeanor and temperament of this "Garrison Commander Pan Boxing" were very similar to the original Garrison Commander. He also had a stern face and was not very cheerful.

Zuo Erguan wanted to ask who the other person was, but when he saw Rachel smiling beside him, he didn't dare to speak.

After a while, he asked, "I wonder what you want me to do?"

Chi Ping, dressed as Pan Boxing, waved his hand: "Do I look like him?"

Chi Ping cast a layer of [Oracle] on himself, but although he could imitate the appearance, he had to put in the effort to learn things like demeanor and language habits.

"picture!"

Zuo Erguan answered without thinking.

Chi Ping shook his head: "Is it really similar, or are you afraid that if you say it's not similar, I will punish you?"

Zuo Erguan quickly explained: "It really is similar! Exactly the same! But——"

When he talked about the latter part, he was a little hesitant.

"Just what?"

"It's just that the buttons on the cuffs of a garrison's long sleeves and the first button on the collar aren't usually buttoned." The assistant officer pointed out the problem and then quickly made amends, "But you really do look alike, so it doesn't matter."

Chi Ping ignored his thoughts and simply stood up, walked around him, and said, "See if there's anything else you've missed?"

The deputy officer pointed at Chi Ping's waist and said, "Except for the ribbon, everything else is fine. The garrison commander usually doesn't wear a ribbon except on formal occasions."

The ribbons represent rank. Naturally, Pan Boxing was the highest-ranking official in the fortress, so he was too lazy to wear them.

Chi Ping nodded and said, "Go call the chief of staff over."

The chief of staff is different from the deputy chief of staff. The deputy chief of staff is usually appointed by the government, while the chief of staff is recruited by the garrison commander himself and is considered one of the people who is most familiar with the garrison commander.

After a while, a man in his forties and of medium build came.

In addition to helping the Chief of Garrison with advice and strategies, the Chief of Staff also has a more important task, which is to help the Chief of Garrison plunder supplies from the fortress.

The first time he saw Chi Ping, he showed the same look of panic and disbelief as Zuo Erguan.

Chi Ping didn't bother him, and simply told him to see what he still needed. The chief of staff thought for a long time before silently saying, "His demeanor and behavior don't seem like it."

His mentality was much calmer than Zuo Erguan. He answered whatever Chi Ping asked. Except for the first time he saw Chi Ping, he was quite calm and composed.

Finally, he handed out a document with both hands.

"What is this?" Chi Ping asked.

"The garrison commander's finances," the chief of staff replied. "Since he took office, I've helped him plunder supplies. Some are hidden in a private warehouse inside the fortress, and the rest is hidden outside."

Chi Ping looked at him with interest. "Why did you say that?"

As for the supplies hidden in the fortress, Chi Ping could certainly find them if he put in some effort.
But those hidden outside the fortress are a bit difficult to find.

The chief of staff could have waited for Chi Ping and others to retreat before getting the supplies outside the fortress.

"I want to use these supplies to exchange something from you," said the chief of staff.

"Speak." Chi Ping knocked on the table in front of him. He suddenly became interested.

"I want to take the garrison commander's body back with me. I hope you can agree." The chief of staff bowed deeply.

"Back to the bunker?" Chi Ping raised his eyebrows.

"Yes," the chief of staff said, "He was buried with his parents who died at the beginning of the catastrophe.

"He and I both started out as low-level soldiers. When the catastrophe first started, we fought against monsters together.

"Later we promised each other that if one of us died, the surviving one would take care of the other's parents.

"It was a very cliché agreement, but that was the agreement. When we evacuated at night, he only took two people with him: me and his wife.

“But his parents died not long after the catastrophe began, and the medical facilities in the bunker were not as good as before the catastrophe.

"So, I had no choice but to take his remains and bury them with his parents."

After saying this, the Chief of Staff paused and said, "It seems now that you probably won't be willing."

The chief of staff was a smart man. When he saw Chi Ping pretending to be Pan Boxing, he knew that he would not be able to bring back the body. Because if the news of Pan Boxing's death was spread back, Chi Ping's impersonation might be exposed.

"If possible, please burn his body to ashes. I can wait in the fortress dungeon until you get tired of being the garrison commander and then release me."

Chi Ping looked him up and down. This man was a bit unexpected.

"What if I continue to be the garrison commander?" Chi Ping asked.

"Then I'll just wait in the dungeon." said the staff member.

"I'll think about it." After saying that, Chi Ping accepted the things and said, "When you go back, invite Pan Boxing's wife over. I want her to see if I look like Pan Boxing."

The chief of staff quickly retreated.

After leaving the garrison, he walked through the streets and alleys with his head down. By this point, his back was already soaked with sweat. He was breathing heavily, knowing that his actions had almost led to his death.

It’s just that Chi Ping is different from the refugees in the fortress, otherwise, he would have died when he handed over the hiding place of the supplies.

After turning around a few buildings, we finally arrived at where the garrison commander's wife was imprisoned.

After speaking to the guard, he pushed the door open and walked in. He saw the garrison commander's wife, who was in tears and in a state of panic.

When the chief of staff showed up, she finally relaxed a little, as she finally saw someone she knew.

But the next second, the chief of staff's words made her a little confused:

"Get ready, the new bandit leader wants to be the chief of garrison.

"Of course, you are still the wife of the Chief of Garrison."

The garrison commander's wife was startled, then delighted, and then exclaimed:

"Really?"
