Chapter 148: Sun
"Shall I decide the team name? Won't you all discuss it? If the name I come up with doesn't meet your expectations, I won't be changing it, you know." Yingzhou teased his team members with a smile.
Seeing this, Ning Shen smiled and nudged Zhu Chengnu, "Hahaha, Captain, we all listen to you; you just decide."
Yingzhou pondered for a moment, confirmed his thoughts in his heart, and spoke up.
"Then let's call it... Sun, how about that?"
"Sun... Sun Squad, that works, Captain, I think it's fine!" Zhao Jian muttered it twice and nodded in agreement.
"I have no problem with it either!"
With unanimous approval, Zhang Wanyang saw that Yingzhou and the others had settled on a team name, so he smiled and said to everyone.
"Hahaha, it is indeed a good name. You can just apply for it with your Legion Commander later; he shouldn't refuse."
Fourth Defense Zone.
When Xindi found Kelin, she happened to run into Kaxi on the way, and the two went to find Kelin together.
"Has Councilor Yingzhou left?" Kaxi fastened the button on his sleeve and asked Xindi.
"Yes, he has left. There was even someone sent specifically to pick him up on the Transport Aircraft sent from the Ninth Defense Zone," Xindi answered simply.
"It's a pity that Councilor Yingzhou didn't want to stay in the Fourth Defense Zone and insisted on returning to the Ninth Defense Zone."
"What he told me at the time was that there are also Humans in the Ninth Defense Zone, as well as suffering civilians. He cannot abandon the people there, and the Alien Race there must also be dealt with."
"Councilor Xindi, do you think what Councilor Yingzhou said is his true intention?" Kaxi looked at Xindi beside him with his brown eyes and asked.
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't believe it, but if it's Yingzhou, I would definitely choose to believe," Xindi answered without the slightest hesitation.
"Why? You trust him that much?"
"Because he is just that kind of person. From the time he cared about those survivors in the Outer City to his later rescue of the survivors, it all shows that he is a young man with grand ideals."
Just as the two were chatting and arrived at the door of Kelin's temporary office, a kind laugh suddenly came from behind them.
"Hahaha, indeed, Councilor Yingzhou is truly that kind of young man; I agree with this point as well."
"Kelin, you guy, why are you behind us?" Xindi turned around, saw Kelin looking at her with a smile, and said to him with some dissatisfaction.
"I went out to get some lists and happened to see you in front of me, so I heard your conversation just now," Kelin said to Xindi, shaking the few lists in his hand.
Kaxi, on the side, did not speak, waiting for the two to finish their conversation.
Kelin didn't waste any more words and said directly to the two, "Let's go inside and talk."
After entering Kelin's office, Xindi found a chair to sit on, while Kaxi and Kelin sat on the sofa.
"Councilor Yingzhou has already left. As I said before, our Fourth Defense Zone needs to make changes, and now is the perfect time."
"What do you want to do?" Xindi rested her right hand on the back of the chair and asked.
"I want to make Councilor Yingzhou the spiritual leader of the Fourth Defense Zone, with all affairs based on the will of the spiritual leader. Councilor Yingzhou's will is to eradicate the Alien Race, allow Humans to stand up, and let everyone live equally."
Kelin crossed his hands, leaned back on the sofa, and spoke slowly.
"However, we don't know if Councilor Yingzhou really thinks this way. If what we do is denied by Councilor Yingzhou in the future, the trust the citizens of the Fourth Defense Zone have in us will drop to freezing point."
Kaxi spoke up to refute this.
Kelin did not rush to refute, but asked Kaxi instead.
"Councilor Kaxi, do you think the citizens trust us very much right now? You have seen the situation of those residents in the Outer City; they would rather believe in Councilor Yingzhou than us. They honorably address Councilor Yingzhou as Emperor. This is not just an isolated case; it is the situation for the vast majority of residents in the Fourth Defense Zone."
After hearing Kelin's words, Kaxi was stunned for a few seconds before finally saying, "I know all the problems you mentioned, but the change we are making now is like pushing Councilor Yingzhou to be the leader of the Fourth Defense Zone. Plus, with the portion of fanatical citizens in the Fourth Defense Zone who have Faith in the Emperor, the Fourth Defense Zone might become a breeding ground for cults."
"Everything has two sides. Don't refrain from making changes because of concerns. We have always followed the system left behind by the Human Alliance, and the result was raising a bunch of parasites and almost leading the Fourth Defense Zone into the abyss. Change is necessary; the current Fourth Defense Zone can no longer be governed by the old rules," Kelin said without backing down, looking at Kaxi with a calm gaze.
"Ahem, I think Kelin makes some sense. The current Fourth Defense Zone cannot withstand the turmoil of the old system. The batch of ordinary soldiers Yingzhou trained for me have had their physical fitness improved. After systematic training, they can help in defensive battles. Moreover, although they lack combat experience, they are no worse than our regular soldiers in terms of fighting will. They all have high respect for Yingzhou, or one could even say Faith."
Xindi coughed twice at this moment and expressed her thoughts.
Seeing that Kelin and Xindi's opinions were basically unified, and that the things he had just mentioned were all based on the worst-case scenarios, Kaxi finally shrugged and said.
"Since you both think this idea is feasible, then let's try it. After all, Kelin's idea is to go with the flow and can gain the support of the residents in the Outer City. It's just that after doing this, there will be no turning back for us."
"We already have no turning back. In this recent upheaval, every step the Fourth Defense Zone has taken has been walking on a tightrope. Whether we make changes or not, there is no chance to do it all over again."
The space between Kelin's brows relaxed significantly, and he said with his signature smile.
"Alright then, let's do it this way. This matter is mainly being handled by you two; I still have to be responsible for matters in the Military District, so I won't ask too much."
Xindi stood up and said to Kaxi and Kelin.
"Yes, our opinions are unified now, which is the best situation. The Fourth Defense Zone will not disappear in the attacks of the Alien Race; we will eventually win the victory!"
As Kelin's voice fell, the gathering of the three came to an end, and they began to prepare to make changes to the Fourth Defense Zone according to Kelin's method.
On the Transport Aircraft, after Zhang Wanyang said they could have a good rest, Yingzhou picked at his ear and thought to himself, "Finally, it's quiet. This Zhang Wanyang talks too much."
Yingzhou closed his eyes and opened the System Panel. He had obtained another chance to draw a Legion this time; he just hoped it wouldn't be the shame of the Astra Militarum.
"System, draw a Legion."
