The common people had already dispersed, but without Wang Chao's orders, the more than thirty thousand soldiers, a mix of the Imperial Army and Huangfu Army now renamed as the Huaxia Army, remained standing in place. Wang Chao said, "Those with military ranks who lead troops of over a thousand should stay; the rest can disperse for now. I will assign tasks to each unit later!"
As these individuals gathered and then separated, Wang Chao led the officer he had previously spoken with toward the Imperial Capital Military District. Wang Chao asked, "What is your name? By the way, where is my equipment?"
The officer replied, "Reporting to General Wang, I was originally an officer under General Huangfu and now hold the highest military rank in the Huaxia Army." Upon hearing this, Wang Chao felt speechless. In fact, his own military rank was merely that of a junior officer, even lower than Shi Huacheng's rank. Yet now, Wang Chao had become the de facto leader of Huaxia; at least in the north, no one would disregard his words.
Thus, although Shi Huacheng knew that Wang Chao was too young to outrank him, in such chaotic times with the system collapsing, there was no longer much emphasis on rank. This was indeed a matter of public consensus. They were also well aware of Huangfu Yan's last orders and recognized that regardless of who became the Chairman of Huaxia in the future, they would only heed Wang Chao's commands.
"Your equipment is stored on the first floor of that small building in the military district. However, that blade is quite peculiar... it was even transported back by vehicle!" Shi Huacheng seemed to have lingering fears about the Panlong Blade as he spoke to Wang Chao.
Wang Chao smiled; over half of the Panlong Blade had turned black. He now understood that the more blood it encountered, the darker it became. Eventually, all the crimson would turn black. He wondered what changes would occur once it was entirely black. Arriving on the first floor, Wang Chao donned a black combat uniform from the Jingcheng Special Forces. Looking around, he noticed that knives and ammunition had been placed where weapons were stored.
After putting on his combat uniform and storing the Panlong Blade in his Spatial Ring, Wang Chao took Shi Huacheng to the second floor. Before long, about twenty individuals arrived downstairs; they appeared to be officers leading these troops. A glance revealed around ten familiar faces—officers from the Imperial Army whom Wang Chao had often encountered during his time at the staff headquarters. The others were likely officers from Huangfu Army.
Wang Chao always found these tedious matters bothersome, so he simply told Shi Huacheng, "I consider myself inferior to you regarding military affairs; you'll need to take care of this. The troop deployments can be roughly divided into four directions. You might not know this yet, but if I'm not mistaken, Ganzhou Safe Zone is already under my Vice Captain's control!"
Shi Huacheng looked puzzled.
Wang Chao then briefly explained to Shi Huacheng that defeating Huangfu Yan would be a challenging task. Upon learning that Huangfu Yan had approached near the capital city, Wang Chao suspected that it would likely fall. At that moment, he dispatched Thunder Strike Team along with previously scattered units and used a sewer map provided by Li Yunqi to allow Zhu Feng to lead an ambush into Ganzhou Safe Zone.
Even if Huangfu Yan captured the capital later on, Ganzhou would fall into Wang Chao's hands. Thus, although Huangfu Yan might claim legitimacy over the realm, Zhang Fusheng and Wang Chao would not be left defenseless or without support. However, no one anticipated that this war would evolve into its current state.
Upon hearing this, Shi Huacheng couldn't help but sigh while simultaneously raising his esteem for Wang Chao. To have thought of such a strategy marked him as a significant figure; no wonder General Huangfu remarked before his death that Wang Chao resembled him in his youth. Indeed, it seemed true. With such cunning plans among his peers—Zhang Fusheng and Huangfu Ling included—Wang Chao stood out remarkably.
At this moment, Wang Chao continued discussing the four directions for troop deployment. "Firstly, we currently control three major Safe Zones: the Imperial Capital, Ganzhou, and Jing City, along with several smaller Safe Zones in the vicinity. We need military strength to defend these areas. Secondly, disregarding the connections between the smaller Safe Zones for now, we must send people to establish a passage between these three major Safe Zones and manage the logistics of supplies once the passage is opened. This will require additional troops. Thirdly, we need to gather intelligence from the surrounding areas of each Safe Zone and deploy squads to investigate other Survivors."
Pausing for a moment, Wang Chao looked at the officers lined up below and continued, "Fourthly, we need to establish contact with the south. Currently, we have no information about the situation down there. The geographical barriers present a significant challenge, but we must make an effort nonetheless. By the way, before anything else, we need to eliminate the Zombies inside Yanshan and those surrounding the Ganzhou Safe Zone."
Sighing, Wang Chao added, "Although these Zombies are mostly ordinary ones, there's always a chance that mutated Zombies could emerge among them. Moreover, this level of defense is merely a stopgap measure!"
Shi Huacheng nodded in understanding. He grasped Wang Chao's general ideas; while executing these tasks would require detailed orders, Wang Chao had provided enough direction for now. The rest could be left to Shi Huacheng. The two descended to the lower floor where Shi Huacheng supplemented Wang Chao's overarching strategy while discussing it with everyone.
This discussion lasted from morning until afternoon before they formulated specific policies.
They decided to mix everyone up to eliminate distinctions between the Imperial Army and Huangfu Army; this was no small feat. During this time, Wang Chao sent messengers to both the Ganzhou Safe Zone and Jing City Safe Zone. One message was to summon Zhu Feng and Wang Xiaochuan back, while another was for Tang Feng and the Shen Sisters from Jing City to hurry over. Aside from military movements, everything else would proceed as usual.
Zhu Feng and Wang Xiaochuan returned swiftly after receiving Wang Chao's message. They rushed back together; indeed, Ganzhou Safe Zone was now under control. However, some citizens were feeling anxious. They didn't fully understand what was happening above them, so there were no significant disturbances. Just as the military restructuring was nearing completion, a helicopter arrived from Jing City.
Wang Chao felt a surge of joy; this meant family from Jing City had arrived. It had been nearly half a year since he last saw them!
