Chapter 590 The Encounters of Hui and Wu Wei
Black Hawk is an exception, so we won't discuss him for now. Both Rabbit and Zhang Zhiheng have enhanced abilities, and their talent ceilings are not high.
Based on this, the most suitable candidates for promotion to the third rank are Cheng Kaixi, Niu Erzhu, and Cheng Lu.
Even if Cheng Lu is replaced by Snow Leopard, who has the same talent level, two of the three spots will still be filled by newcomers.
Niu Erzhu is a native of the Seventh War Zone. Even if we take him with us when we go back this time to establish a file and include him in the system, he is still a temporary member at the moment.
If we exclude him and replace him with a veteran player, then at least one of the three spots can be secured for Kaixi.
This wasn't Bai Mengyan's personal motive; it was because Cheng Kaixi's abilities and talents were truly commendable.
If Cheng Kaixi's talent level were only 5, a mediocre level, things might not be so difficult.
In fact, less than 30% of people out of 1000 have a talent cap of 5; the majority have low-level talents with a cap of no more than 3.
Simply staying in a top team with a talent ceiling of only 5 makes one seem unremarkable.
After Bai Mengyan finished speaking, the two fell silent. She was holding the bone dagger and cutting open the dehydrated and frozen flying fish with sharp teeth.
After leaving some equipment behind, Hui briefly discussed some tasks with Su Jiancheng, and the two walked towards Leng Yuexiu.
After all, setting up a temporary camp is easy and doesn't require many people. With Wu Wei, who is familiar with the environment, helping out, Hui doesn't need to worry about much.
Hui held a terminal device and watched as Bai Mengyan disassembled the Sharp-Toothed Flying Fish into several pieces and took out something resembling a pearl from the fish's head. He couldn't help but gain a new understanding of Bai Mengyan.
Afraid of disturbing Bai Mengyan's concentration, he lowered his voice and said to Leng Yuexiu, "Boss, I'm here to report on my work."
Leng Yuexiu's calm demeanor made him seem unapproachable, and given that he was genuinely considering Bai Mengyan's suggestion, he paused for a moment without looking up, and said, "Find a place to sit."
Su Jiancheng took two ready-made folding camping chairs from over there, placed one next to Leng Yuexiu and the other directly opposite him, where he sat down.
Hui glanced around and saw that Bai Mengyan was still standing there. He looked at Leng Yuexiu suspiciously, then turned to Su Jiancheng for help.
In general, these meetings are reported directly to the team leader and deputy team leader. As for other people, the team leader or deputy team leader will explain the situation after comprehensive consideration when necessary.
After all, everyone in their chief battle group is an elite among elites, and they are often seconded to other missions as team leaders or special technical advisors.
After they have completed their missions outside the area, they are required to report to their superiors upon their return.
All information, including what missions his team members had carried out, the level of the missions, any difficulties encountered, and any news from any city that required attention, had to be reported to Leng Yuexiu.
Of course, this dispersal operation was no exception. However, after finding the team members, the number of people was not large, and the general situation was explained after they met.
It is quite special for people like Hui and Wu Wei to independently establish a temporary base and understand the situation of the entire wildlife conservation area for such a long time. They need a relatively formal performance review meeting with a lot of content.
In other words, Bai Mengyan is somewhat out of place here from Gray's perspective.
However, given her status, he couldn't say anything directly, and could only hint at it to Su Jiancheng.
Hui's pause and awkwardness did not escape Leng Yuexiu's notice. He said bluntly, "She is qualified to sit here. You give your report."
Hearing Leng Yuexiu's firm attitude, Hui sat down and spread the terminal out between the three of them.
Only after hearing Leng Yuexiu's words did Bai Mengyan belatedly realize that she shouldn't be "in the way" here. Just as she was about to get up and leave, Leng Yuexiu pulled her arm and made her sit down again.
"Since you mentioned that talent should be one of the evaluation criteria and the team structure needs to be readjusted, then as a representative of the reserve players, you should participate in important team meetings."
Bai Mengyan clearly didn't expect Leng Yuexiu to say that, but as one of the most talented newcomers, she didn't stand on ceremony and gladly accepted.
Su Jiancheng sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two and couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
The shrewd man had already sensed something amiss; it was a power struggle between the old and new forces, and he couldn't possibly live a day of peace and quiet.
No wonder Leng Yuexiu was urging him to quickly improve his ability level; the sense of urgency was so strong that he had no mind to eat or sleep.
The three men had different expressions. In this strange atmosphere, Gray began to report everything that had happened after he and Wu Wei landed.
As they had anticipated, the two landed in the mountains and could only receive the coordinates of the equipment box, losing all contact with the others.
They were in a much better situation than others who woke up surrounded by zombies. After assessing their surroundings, they decided to go to the location of the equipment box first to make sure that the equipment was okay.
After all, the equipment can provide them with the greatest protection in this dangerous time and space.
It was this decision that led them down a different path.
They walked through the mountainous area for three days without finding their way out, and finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
The entire mountain, no, the entire mountain range, was shrouded in a huge maze.
It acts like a natural defensive barrier, blocking interference from the outside world.
The only way to get into the heart of the mountains is a winding mountain road that stretches for hundreds of kilometers.
This road is the only route connecting the city center with the Rancheng Wildlife Ecological Park.
They were lost in the mountains for a week before finally finding this road and starting to drive along it towards their destination. What was truly terrifying was that the cars on the road seemed to be ghost cars.
The belongings on the vehicle—food, drinks, and other necessities—remained exactly the same, but the people were all gone.
In this world filled with infected zombies, there is an area where there are no people, no zombies, and no other creatures, only the two of them walking around, which is very unsettling and terrifying.
They also considered temporarily abandoning the equipment box and either going into the city first, where they might be able to find other teammates through their personal communication devices.
However, their energy expenditure was far from enough to support them in leaving the mountains. What's worse, when they traveled in the opposite direction along the mountain road, they always encountered various problems and obstacles.
At first, they thought it was just a coincidence, but after it happened several times, they began to suspect that there might really be something wrong with the environment there.
In the mountain fog, sometimes only two hours a day are normal, and the rest of the time everything is shrouded in thick fog.
None of the cars could be started, and their hunger grew faster and faster.
If it weren't for the smart wristbands provided by headquarters and the support of an independent energy supply system, they probably wouldn't even have a clear concept of time.
They survived on food left in cars by the roadside and wild vegetables and mushrooms from the mountains.
