The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

The tent fell silent again. This time, it wasn't because anyone wanted to speak, but because they were processing the information. Some were mentally calculating the time, some were looking at their own dashboards, and some were lost in thought.

No one stepped forward and said, "I want to quit."

For those evolved individuals, they were already among the best of the survivors. They hadn't gotten this far by hiding behind others. They understood better than anyone that to become stronger, they had to fight constantly.

Guild leaders, however, consider things more deeply... Only by constantly training their members can the guild grow stronger. Otherwise, if they encounter a powerful individual who can easily defeat a dozen or twenty of them, having a large number of members is meaningless.

Number of people can be an advantage, but sometimes it can also be a disadvantage.

They must make their guild stronger.

........

Wait until everyone is sure.

Zhou Weiren stepped aside and gave his seat to Commander Li, who was in charge of managing ordinary soldiers.

Commander Li walked to the front, opened the projected map, and marked areas of different colors on the map... Red represents high-risk areas, yellow represents medium-risk areas, and green represents low-risk areas.

The size of each area, the level of the monsters, and the expected casualty rate are all clearly marked with detailed numbers.

Commander Li began assigning tasks.

Each guild leader is responsible for a specific area, with clear data supporting the area's boundaries, the length of the defensive line to be built, and the expected number and level of monsters to be encountered. Some accept the terms, while others negotiate...

"This area is too big; our guild only has about thirty people." "The monsters in this area are too high-level; we can't handle them." Guild Leader Li's attitude was firm. His voice wasn't loud, but the implication that "this isn't a discussion" was clear: "Either accept it, or leave now."

Several guild leaders gritted their teeth, glanced at their guild members, then at the numbers on the map, and ultimately decided not to quit. The twenty-six guild leaders each received their assigned tasks. Some looked grave, some frowned, and some were already mentally calculating how to allocate manpower.

When it was the turn of the thirteen lone experts, Bai Liuxi stood up.

She walked to the front, her gaze sweeping over the group, her tone as calm as if she were reading a list. "You can form teams yourselves, three to five people per group. I'll arrange teams for those who can't form teams."

The tent was quiet for a moment.

Most of these people didn't know each other, and some had even had conflicts before. No one spoke up; some looked down at the table, some turned their faces away, and some pretended to study a map.

Bai Liuxi waited a moment, then stopped. "In that case, I'll make the arrangements." Her tone left no room for argument, and no one objected... or rather, no one dared to object.

Prosciutto spoke, his tone calm, but his confidence—"I don't need teammates"—was evident. "I'm alone."

Bai Liuxi glanced at him and didn't hesitate. "Fine. But I won't help you. You'll have to leave the army alone." Proxiu's lips twitched. This woman still doesn't give him any face. He leaned back in his chair helplessly, his wings slightly folded, and muttered to himself: This is a cold-faced woman who doesn't give face to anyone.

Bai Liuxi's gaze fell on Su Mu. "Su Mu, do you have teammates?" Su Mu thought for a moment, "Yes." Bai Liuxi nodded, and was about to continue making arrangements when Su Mu added, "I have my own team, so I don't need to be assigned any."

The people inside the tent all looked at Su Mu.

Proxiu also looked over, taking a serious look at Su Mu for the first time. This boy was younger than him, and handsome, even more handsome than him. Proxiu had always been very confident in his appearance. The enhancement of his angelic bloodline made his features so exquisite that they seemed unreal. His skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and his golden hair shone with a soft luster under the light.

But in front of this person, that advantage didn't seem obvious. Su Mu possessed a unique quality... not a sharp, overt edge, but something deeper, like unfathomable deep water.

A strange feeling welled up inside Proscius—not jealousy, but a judgment that "this person is not simple." He looked away, thinking: Could this woman have taken a liking to this pretty boy?

Bai Liuxi was silent for a moment, then spoke, her tone still calm. "You can bring two teammates, three at most."

A moment of silence fell over the tent. Proshu's eyes widened slightly... This woman, she actually made an exception? The others also showed expressions of surprise. From the beginning until now, Bai Liuxi hadn't been open to any discussion about assigning tasks, but she had relented when it came to this person.

Several regimental commanders also looked over, and some whispered among themselves, their tone carrying a subtle gossip: "This woman actually made an exception, does she have something on her mind about this kid? But he is indeed handsome."

Only Zhou Weiren sat in the main seat, unmoved. He knew why Bai Liuxi was doing this. It wasn't because Su Mu was handsome, but because Su Mu was strong enough to disregard these rules.

He was the military's most promising candidate, even surpassing Proxiu. Although Proxiu had great potential, Su Mu had already proven his value in actual combat... The battle in the Dark Zone was clearly described in Bai Liuxi's report.

After the tasks were assigned, Zhou Weiren stood up. "The regimental commanders can go to the supply depot to select equipment, which will be distributed according to the headcount. Evolved individuals can also go."

He paused for a moment, "But before you go, you need to get to know each other. Afterwards, each group may collaborate to understand each other's capabilities in order to cooperate better."

After speaking, the military personnel left one after another. Zhou Weiren walked at the very back, glancing back at the people inside the tent before leaving. His gaze lingered on Su Mu for a moment before he lifted the curtain and went out.

The atmosphere inside the tent relaxed a bit. Some people started moving around, some were talking in hushed tones, and Bai Liuxi's arrangement of groups brought together several people who were originally strangers. Each group consisted of three to five people, sitting in small circles.

Su Mu didn't go to the supply depot; he had enough equipment, and he didn't need anything else. He sat in a corner, observing the conversation among the people.

The group that the kobold was in was introducing themselves to each other.

The kobold spoke, his voice hoarse, like the sound of sandpaper rubbing together. "My name is Chen Mo, kobold bloodline, rating C. My abilities are mainly aura and control-type. I can release an area-of-effect aura to increase the defense and attack of my teammates, and I also have a single-target slowing skill that can trap the target for a few seconds." His tail swayed slightly, as if in agreement with his introduction. Someone beside him added, "He also has a very strong sense of smell and can track scents." Chen Mo nodded.
