Chapter 38 Legion
The same city, East End, at eleven past four in the morning.

The Azure Dragon Legion's garrison in the city is located on the edge of the Eastern District.

Four five-storey buildings of the same specification form a standard square and occupy the four corners respectively.The perimeter is a four-meter-high solid wall with barbed wire on the top and towers at every other end. Heavy machine guns and self-aiming artillery occupy the best shooting guards on the commanding heights. Armed guards patrolling from time to time lock every corner where there may be infiltrators.

The Qinglong Legion has similar armed fortresses in every city.

Compared with the old days, the concept of weapons in the dark underground world has been greatly improved.However, this concept is mainly used in cold weapons, and traditional firearms, artillery, and bombs still dominate modern combat.

Laser weapons certainly exist, and railguns are nothing new.However, humans living underground have not broken through the barrier of "miniaturization".

It is said that the Qinglong Legion is developing a powerful armored combat vehicle, and the main weapon is the electronic cannon that is being standardized.

Maybe there is also a pedestal-type laser cannon hidden deep in the battle fortress, but it's just not ready for use yet.

The reason why the mystery of the world has unparalleled temptation for countless explorers is largely due to the fact that they are originally legends.

Of course, not all legends are false.

With the letter of recommendation signed by Su Xiaoxiao, after undergoing a series of strict inspections, Ling Zihan successfully entered East District No. [-], which is the outer area of ​​the overall building of the Azure Dragon Legion Fortress.

This is a one-story house set outside the fence, and it is also the external office of the legion.

Handing over all the weapons on his body, the inspection process was so careful that Ling Zihan felt as if his entire body was being stripped and seen through.

All this is necessary and worthwhile in his view.

Walking into office No. [-], he saw a young man of his own age sitting behind the desk.

He is tall and tall, his dark green military uniform fits him well, his skin is very fair, and his slightly long black hair hangs down from his forehead, forming a very masculine match with his piercing eyes.

The epaulettes show his rank as Captain.

"Sit down, don't be so restrained." He pointed to the empty chair opposite, smiling, showing his neat and white teeth.

Ling Zihan sat down as he said, and put the personal information form he had been holding on the table.

He enjoys dealing with smiling people, male or female.

The captain picked up the form and read it carefully, then raised his head and asked with a smile, "Your name is Ling Zihan?"

Seeing that the other party nodded affirmatively, the captain continued to smile and said, "My name is Shao Hanguang. Hehe, everyone has their reasons for choosing the Qinglong Legion. Can you tell me about it?"

Ling Zihan knew that there was such a question-and-answer process, and he was already mentally prepared: "I want to live a good life."

Shao Hanguang stared at him, waiting patiently for the next sentence.

Unexpectedly, Ling Zihan shut his mouth after saying this, and looked at himself expectantly.

"It's gone?" Shao Hanguang put down the form in his hand and deliberately made a gesture of surprise.

Ling Zihan's face was covered with the word "honesty". He spoke slowly and calmly: "I just want to be a soldier and live a good life."

As long as he can pass the review, Ling Zihan is willing to let him play a more honest "honest person".

"Okay! This is indeed a reasonable reason." Shao Hanguang did not continue to dwell on this issue, he turned his attention to the applicant materials on the form.

"Hengwei Boxing Gym has issued a letter of recommendation for you."

"You bring your own weapons... well, [-] Basic Rifle, Gale Pistol."

"You have met the legion's basic requirements for soldiers."

Shao Hanguang opened the drawer and took out the seal, dipped it in the ink pad, and stamped it on the upper right corner of the application form.

"Congratulations! From now on, we are colleagues." He took out a round ceramic badge from the drawer and handed it to Ling Zihan.

When receiving the badge, Ling Zihan felt unreal.

He never expected that the review process would be so simple.

However, the badge in his hand is so real—from now on, he is already a private soldier of the Azure Dragon Legion.

Shao Hanguang was obviously used to this scene.He reminded with a smile: "There is your number on the back of the badge, you'd better write it down. If the badge is accidentally lost, you can reapply for it based on the number."

[-], this is Ling Zihan's ID number.

Memorizing this number by heart, Ling Zihan raised his head, and his eyes stayed on Shao Hanguang's military uniform: "What should I do next? Where can I get the military uniform?"

"You can't receive military uniforms yet." The smile on Shao Hanguang's face made people feel very happy. In fact, he could tell Ling Zihan in a blunt tone, "You are not eligible to receive military uniforms now."

"You are just an ordinary reserve soldier." He explained with a smile: "According to regulations, only officers above second lieutenant can be issued military uniforms."

After a pause, he continued to explain: "The fabric is very expensive, and the military uniform represents the honor that belongs exclusively to the legion. Hehe, I was just like you when I first came here. I didn't understand anything. As long as you ask more and do more, you will have everything you need."

"As for now...you can look up relevant information through the military public network and find some suitable tasks to do."

"Give you two pieces of advice."

"First of all: you can't complete less than one task per week, otherwise you will automatically cancel your military status. It will be very difficult to apply again, and the electronic file will also record your previous stains. So once you choose to accept the task, you must complete it no matter how difficult it is."

"Secondly: Don't think that all mechanized objects are good. Sometimes, the higher the level of individual biology, the more unexpected benefits you will get."

The following passage made Ling Zihan feel a little confused: "What are you referring to?"

Shao Hanguang said something else with a smile: "It's up to you to experience it yourself. I'm just giving a little suggestion."

As he spoke, he stood up from his chair and politely extended his right hand: "Welcome to the Azure Dragon Legion."

……

After leaving the office, Ling Zihan wandered around the rest area outside the fortress for a long time.

The entire fortress takes four buildings as the core, forming a huge "mouth".

Based on this, there are rows of bungalows and various fortifications.There is a large area of ​​open space in between, as well as spacious warehouses, locomotive centers, maintenance centers and indoor training grounds like large factories in the old days.

The sky was still dark, and all the light from the windows of the towers and other buildings fell to the ground.A dry wind howled, bringing an uncomfortably cold from the dark mountains in the distance.

Most of the houses around the fortress are detachable and simple.In the many workshops with their doors open, different models of tanks can be seen.Ling Zihan even saw a crawler-type heavy vehicle chassis with a height of more than two meters and a length of about 20 meters.The huge turret was bound by steel chains and suspended in the air at a height of more than four meters from the vehicle body.Various parts were scattered on the ground next to it, exuding a strong and pungent smell of engine oil.

There are busy people everywhere.Only the side that Ling Zihan can see, there are at least two hundred people.Some are wearing military uniforms, which look like officers.Dozens of people were working in the workshop wearing light gray overalls, probably either mechanics or repairmen.Like Ling Zihan, most people wear different styles of clothes.Presumably it should be a reserve soldier.

There are cannon and gun mounts on the top of many buildings.Various antennas with inexplicable uses are constantly rotating, and dense red lights are shining at the end of the extending branches.

At a farther position, you can even see small missile launchers and armed pickups.The latter is a real luxury.It's not that the price is expensive, but the cost of using any kind of vehicle is not low, unless you have mastered automatic battery charging equipment, or have a stable source of fuel supply.

Ling Zihan has seen many scenes here on the Internet.

Just like the old days, the Azure Dragon Corps also needs fresh blood.Although not everyone can become a reserve soldier, and although not all reserve soldiers can become professional soldiers, the leaders and organizers of the legion often publish related videos on the Internet to attract more people to join.

The Legion implements a loose management system and rarely conducts compulsory recruitment unless it encounters special instructions from the headquarters.

From generals down to the lowest level of reserve soldiers, all can form combat troops according to their own strength and needs.

Chapters or squads are the most common formations.The scale of the former can be large or small, while the latter may have as many as dozens of people, or only three members.

The specific size depends on the ability and strength of the organizer.Generally speaking, as long as you have enough supplies, weapons and equipment, as well as related financial resources, even if you are just an ordinary reserve soldier, you can pull up a medium-sized battle group of dozens or hundreds of people.

There used to be many people who didn't understand the loose management system of the Azure Dragon Legion, and thought it was meaningless to join the Legion.

Life is the best teacher, especially after these people have experienced too much suffering, they began to generate enlightenment with their own unique vision.

But by then it was too late.

Ling Zihan also doesn't have a deep understanding of the Azure Dragon Army.

He only knows three things.

First of all: Joining the Legion can get some benefits.For example, cheaper ammunition supplies, more powerful weapons, more detailed and rich information...

Second: The mission system of the Legion is quite distinctive.After completion, you can get rewards and contribution points, and you can also get the opportunity to be promoted to the military rank by accumulating meritorious service.

Last but not least: when you're tired of work and looking to retire, the Legion is the best place to be.

Ling Zihan feels strange about everything here.

He saw a dense variety of equipment in the weapon center.

Taking the [-] rifle as an example, you can buy various accessories here.The overall price is cheaper than the gun shops outside, but the discount rate is not large, only about [-].
