When Xiaoyun got to the training field in the morning, he could see the soldiers standing on the training field.

"Took you long enough." Yezi complained as Xiaoyun walked to the backstage of the training field.

Yezi was wearing a brand new officer uniform that Yuqi and Shuli designed with the textile factory owners.

It was a uniform very similar to the military uniform of the actual army with slight modification to the layers of the cloths since it would of been too hot to wear otherwise.

"Sorry, just had something come up this morning. Is everything ready?" Xiaoyun asked.

"It''s all ready. We''re just waiting for you." Yezi handed the planned script to Xiaoyun.

Xiaoyun took a short glance over it and didn''t notice any changes compared to Yiming''s plan before he left.

"Good luck. Don''t get nervous!" Yezi and Xiaoyun both walked out of the backstage to the field.

"I know." Xiaoyun didn''t look back, but raised his hand to show his determination.

As Xiaoyun walked up to the podium, he could see all the faces of the soldiers on the field.

Some were familiar faces, but most of them were completely brand new faces that he had never seen before. Some doesn''t even have their military uniform yet.

He could even see Wuli and both Anjing and Mingxu among the crowd of soldiers in the left side of the crowd.

Xiaoyun cleared his throat for a second, then spoke through the microphone.

"Hello everyone. I''m your commander in chief Chen Xiaoyun..." Xiaoyun gave a short description of himself.

A short moment later...

"I know what you all might be thinking: why are we letting such a young person lead the army? A college student, of all people, and with no military experience at all."

Xiaoyun''s words struck a chord with the new soldiers, who was wondering the exact same thing Xiaoyun just mentioned.

But all the experienced soldiers who has been in the town for a long time already knew what Xiaoyun was going to say.

"Let me ask you a question. Can a college student lead an entire army to direct an entire rescue operation to the city that saved hundreds and thousands of survivor to this town?"

The new soldiers started chattering among each other while other soldiers stood still in silent.

Xiaoyun cleared his throat to make the crowd fall back into silent.

"How about another question. Can a college student lead an army and come back with more equipment than they went with? And transforming an army with only rifles to an army with artillery and tanks?"

"Guess what? I''m that college student that did all that. Now do you think there is anyone who is more qualify than me?"

After few more convincing statement, some of the experience soldiers started realized the achievement Xiaoyun had done.

"I promise to you all, I''ll lead you all out of the apocalypse together. We''ll defend the prosperity of the town." Xiaoyun paused for a second as he turned off the mic.

"Do you all have faith in me?" Xiaoyun asked out loud.

The soldiers applauded as Lingang was completely caught off guard by the news.

"Beside that, everyone''s locker should have a letter telling you what rank and which regiment you belong to. For now, all the soldiers who has been soldier for a month or longer, you are dismissed. Tomorrow will be the official start day."

Many of the soldiers in the crowd started leaving to the lockers until there was only five thousand people left on the field.

All of them were brand new faces that just joined into the military. Although most of them had went through mandatory training or were apart of the militia.

"I assume you all know what you had sign up for right? There''s no turning back once you joined from this point on." Xiaoyun asked first before continuing.

None of them moved.

"Very well, you''ll be put into a month training before you''ll be put into combat. Yezi can you come up?"

Xiaoyun stepped down to the side as Yezi got up to the podium.

"Can you handle this?" Xiaoyun looked over to Yezi.

"Of course, don''t worry about it. I had done this so many time. You can go do your business." Yezi reassured Xiaoyun.

"Okay." Xiaoyun walked down the stage and toward the exit of the training field.

----

As Xiaoyun walked down the street, it was already two in the afternoon.

"How am I going to make a military academy?" Xiaoyun wondered as he realized with Yiming leaving, there was no way to get more officer if he wanted to expand the army more.

Just as Xiaoyun almost arrived back to the office, he ran into the three Russian dude standing in front of administrative building.

"Oh hey, what up?" Xiaoyun waved toward the three.

"We''re good. C-Can we borrow something?" One of them asked in broken Chinese.

"Which do you need to borrow?" Xiaoyun asked.

The three didn''t know how to response, until one of them spoke in English.

"T-Tank. And bomb." One of them tried to draw it with their hands.

"Oh you mean the equipment that we got from the water plant. Of course you can borrow one of them. It''ll be insane if you can even manufacturer one." Xiaoyun immediately gave approval to them.

"Thank you!" The three of them bowed down in gratitude.

"Wait before you leave, let me write you an authorization. They''ll be confused if you just walk there empty handed. Follow me" Xiaoyun opened the door for the three to walk in.

As the four walked inside the office building, all of the office worker looked a little curious toward the three people behind Xiaoyun.

"Yuqi, can I borrow your computer for a second?" Xiaoyun asked as he walked inside the office.

"Sure." Yuqi moved to the side of the desk.
