Zhang Qin Feng emptied his clip after venting out his anger.
But 40 out of 40 bullets all burrowed deep under the ground, instead of delicate flesh.
"Placed all of them to the same classification of slaves like the 30 people we caught from the Xiyang Team. As for the 50 slaves taken from our first engagement, promotes them into temporary members of the Azure Wind Base," Zhang Qin Feng ordered.
This changes brought despair to the 100 people that cause trouble earlier, a delight from the 30 slaves belonged to the Xiyang Team, and appreciation from the rest.
It was a form of reward for the 50 promoted temporary members, which was enslaved due to trying to attack the Azure Wind Base. And since the base's multiple pieces of machinery are assembled through their effort, it is not biased at all for Zhang Qin Feng to reward them.
Five types of armbands are printed out to be distributed to the now 1,050 actual members of Azure Wind Base.
They're divided into Residents, Worker, Armed Force, Commanders, and Zhang Qin Feng's Azure Color Armband for the boss.
Although most of the recently promoted temporary members are issued with the same Worker Armband, they can be differentiated through the Depleted Uranium Choke on their collar.
Out of the 1,050 members of the gang, Zhang Qin Feng conscripted another 140 manpower into his Armed Forces. With a total of 250 soldiers handling the in and out of their base operation, Zhang Qin Feng feels more rest assured.
As for the 800 remaining members, 300 of them were issued with a Resident Armband, and the 500 remaining members all received the Worker Armbands.
Lastly, people like Dan Bao, Dan Mi, Guo Jing, Guo Fu, and a few other people are given the fitting armband according to their position.
Dan Mi and Guo Fu's armband has a single Azure stripe on their shoulder, representing their position as an advisor in this base.
Han Niu, Niu Ke, Yu Yang Kai, Yu Yuan, and Wu Manya from the four resigned teams are given the armband with two yellow stripes. It represented their position as the Lieutenants of the 25 units.
Zhang Qin Feng's intention puzzled Guo Jing, the moment he was issued with an armband with three yellow stripes.
"First Lieutenant Guo Jing," Zhang Qin Feng patted Guo Jing's shoulder as he shakes his hand.
"This subordinate will make sure to fulfill all your wishes from today onwards!" Guo Jing salutes.
"I believe you," Zhang Qin Feng returns a salute to the officers present in this Meeting Room.
After the promotion presentation, the respective leaders all returned to their own posts. Wu Manya, Han Niu, Niu Ke, Yu Yang Kai, and Yu Yuan respectively lead the 1st to 5th platoon.
The five of them will be reporting to Guo Jing, who's will both handling the lieutenants and acting advisor to Dan Bao, their Captain.
Dan Mi and Guo Fu also took responsibility respectively on the Resident's Union and Worker's Union. If there's anything like today happened again, both of them will have the full jurisdiction on them.
With the basic structure of this organization is completed, Zhang Qin Feng's attention can be directed into the expansion of their base. With only about 150 people at most is required to operate the Converter, Printer, and Ammunition Line, Zhang Qin Feng's following decision almost gave the workers a fright.
The first part of his plan is to expand the base five times greater. This project will cover three streets adjacent to theirs, from one end to another. It will be separated into five sections with a week given on each of them.
This expansion will allow Zhang Qin Feng to separates the Azure Wind Base into three sections, Residential on this block, followed with Factories down southwest, and entertainment zone up northeast.
While on his second part of the plan, Zhang Qin Feng revealed his intention to consume all possible factory lines available around them, particularly in 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, and 17th Zone. Such a project will push their industry forward, which possibly gave birth to more than just Rhinos in their production line.
Electronics, Security, Plantation, Residential, and many more needed to expand quickly. And this part of his plan must be made possible, no matter what kind of sacrifices they'll make.
On Wednesday afternoon, Zhang Qin Feng brought them some surprises.
A total of 100 beer kegs is moved from the General Store's Garage into the opposite pub. The shop that was used to be a local grocer is also demolished and renovated into a canteen service cooked food.
Under his instruction, only the soldiers and officers are allowed to dine inside this free flow restaurant. As for the pub, Zhang Qin Feng brought in four brands of draught beer, Eiken, Anchor, Iceberg, and Azure Island.
Everyone is only allowed to purchase a pint in a day, except for the officer's rank. This precaution is placed upon to prevent smaller brawls and disagreement inside the base.
The 1st to 4th platoons is assigned to four different entrance into the 11th Zone. Right after the workers finish moving the beer kegs into the pub, a report came from Guo Jing through his Luna II device.
"Right now, almost half of the people in this base are wearing a Luna II device. Of course, theirs only capable of communicating amongst themselves, and wide-range reception is disabled.
"Sir, 1st platoon noticed two teams moving into the 11th Zone. Their numbers are between 200 to 300 people." Guo Jing's message somewhat surprised Zhang Qin Feng.
Based on what he knows about Xicheng Base, only those with 2nd-Rank Warrant Officer is capable of deploying more than 100 soldiers in a fight.
"Any aggressive action from them?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.
"So far, no. But it is not wrong to be cautious, because the one here is one of Xicheng Base best 2nd-Rank Warrant Officers." Guo Jing's reply is not as straightforward as Dan Bao, but it gave Zhang Qin Feng some hints.
At the moment, Zhang Qin Feng only managed to fit three platoons with the Basic Package BSV. He needs at least two more days to ensure that all his frontline soldiers are provided with the equipment.
And now, a cautious two 2nd-Rank Warrant Officers brought close to his total number of soldiers to camp beside him made Zhang Qin Feng worry.
"What do you think?" Zhang Qin Feng asked Guo Jing for a solution.
"Establish three defensive points to defend against their attack. I am not being paranoid but against a 2nd-Rank Warrant Officer, even if we're given 10 teams are not enough..." Guo Jing's evaluation of their opponent is even higher than Xiyang's Team.
"Then tell me what do you know about them." Zhang Qin Feng somehow lost his mood to keep talking.
"Grenade Launcher Team, Long Range Assault Rifle, and Nitrous Magnetic Curtain. Unless we're capable of handling them on full force, it is best to play with them on a defensive field." Guo Jing read out three advantages of their opponent.
"Grenade Launcher, Assault Rifle, and Nitrogen Magnet Shield?" Zhang Qin Feng repeated Guo Jing's sentence.
"Yes, boss." Guo Jing answered.
"Bring one of each back to me." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Affirmative."
"Wait. Boss, can you repeat?" Guo Jing agreed but noticed his mistakes immediately.
"I said, bring one of each back to our base." Zhang Qin Feng repeated what he just said.
"Roger..." Guo Jing accepted.
"Don't worry. I won't let you guys try to fight a losing battle."
"I'm sure all of you are listening?" Zhang Qin Feng's sudden question puzzled Guo Jing for a moment.
"Yes, Sir!" Han Niu, Niu Ke, Yu Yang Kai, Yu Yuan, and Wu Manya answered him at the same time.
"Five platoons, 25 Rhinos. Don't tell me that you're not capable enough to bring me a shield, a damn, gun, and a broken launcher?" Zhang Qin Feng's word made the six of them turned into a mute.
"We'll make it happen," Dan Bao came into their conversation and agreed on everyone's behalf.
It took him around five minutes to assign them to their designated post.
"Can I ask if there's anything we can do with the three things you want, boss?" Dan Bao returned to the conversation.
"Bao, let me tell you..."
"It is not a gentleman..."
"If you're rejecting the gift sent to our doorstep."
"Since the Warrant Officers have something we're in need, why not we ask them to share?"
"Politely?" Zhang Qin Feng's last sentence even turned Dan Bao into a mute.
