Chapter 946: Chapter 375: Investment Rebate (Request for Guaranteed Monthly Tickets)

Seeing the Starfire Society emblem, Wang Tao felt somewhat relieved yet somewhat speechless.

He was relieved because the ability to hang such a sign here signified that the force was officially recognized as capable of exploring the Cave.

Although the sign was hung together with that of the Sixth Army Corps, primarily emphasizing the Sixth Army Corps, there might be some restrictions, but it was, after all, officially recognized.

Previously, Wang Tao had told Cheng Yiyi that he would enter the Cave in the capacity of a consultant for the Sixth Army Corps. Except for him, no one from the Starfire Society could enter the Cave. But now that this sign was up, it should mean that more than just Wang Tao could go inside.

And having heard that the number of spots to enter the Cave was limited, each additional spot given to Wang Tao meant one less for the Sixth Army Corps… It must be said, Cheng Yiyi was very generous!

As for why I am somewhat speechless, it is because other exhibition halls were bustling with crowds, yet the area of the Sixth Army Corps was starkly quiet… the contrast was striking.

Although Wang Tao didn’t care much about these matters, after all, it concerned the Sixth Army Corps, and it felt like it lacked presence!

“Hello, may I ask you… Oh? Consultant Wang?”

As Wang Tao approached, one of the female staff members at the Sixth Army Corps exhibition hall immediately came over politely, ready to introduce Wang Tao to the Sixth Army Corps, only to realize the visitor was Wang Tao.

Wang Tao didn’t recognize this person, but he had been to the headquarters of the Sixth Army Corps before, so it was not strange that someone recognized him.

Qu Shilin was somewhat surprised next to him, not expecting Wang Tao to have become a consultant for the Sixth Army Corps. Nevertheless, given Wang Tao’s ability, granting him a consultant position was quite reasonable.

“You are…”

“You can just call me Little Ling!”

The female staff member quickly said.

“Consultant Wang, hello, you can call me Little Liu!”

The male staff member immediately spoke up as well.

Though Wang Tao had no real authority within the Legion, his position as a shareholder was not to be underestimated, so they naturally showed him respect.

“Hello!”

Wang Tao smiled and nodded slightly, then asked curiously:

“Why does it seem so quiet around here?”

“Uh…”

The two glanced at each other awkwardly. Little Ling scratched her head, a wry smile on her face.

“Because others aren’t optimistic about our Sixth Army Corps, nobody wants to invest in us…”

“Hmm?”

Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.

Although the Sixth Army Corps ranked last among the Six Major Legions, it was still one of the Six Major Legions, much stronger than a vast majority of forces. To not be highly regarded despite such strength… How high were these people’s standards?

“It’s like this…”

Little Ling quickly explained to Wang Tao.

During the time Wang Tao was away from the base, the Sixth Army Corps had dispatched troops for several missions. During one of the missions, a crisis occurred that left one of their teams stranded outside, sending out a distress signal. Consequently, Cheng Yiyi led the troops to rescue them.

When Wang Tao returned, he visited the headquarters of the Sixth Army Corps and learned about this incident from Cheng Yiyi. However, Wang Tao had not delved into the specifics since Cheng Yiyi was not there, and he had returned.

In Wang Tao’s view, staying outside the city a couple more days was a normal occurrence, so he thought nothing of it, as he himself could stay out for half a month.

Thus, he was not very aware of the specifics concerning the Sixth Army Corps.

In reality, to rescue their comrades, the Sixth Army Corps paid a heavy price and their strength had regressed. Most importantly, Commander Cheng and two other Deputy Legion Commanders had not yet returned!

Now, the Sixth Army Corps was left with one Deputy Legion Commander at the base, who was not an Awakener — among the Sixth Army Corps, not counting Wang Tao, there were only three Awakeners, all of whom were now trapped outside!

So, the Sixth Army Corps was in a sort of headless state at the moment…

If it were only a matter of the Sixth Army Corps weakening or even regressing, the problem could be temporarily overlooked as a lean camel is bigger than a horse. But without Cheng Yiyi and the two Deputy Legion Commanders, the issue became serious.

Especially now, with a massive horde of zombies outside, could Cheng Yiyi and her team survive?

If they could return, it would still be fine. But if they were to perish outside… then wouldn’t investing in the Sixth Army Corps now be a total loss!

Although all forces had declared that they would help each other upon entering the Cave, competition was definitely present. Without any Awakeners, the Sixth Army Corps simply had no chance to compete…

This was the reason why nobody was outside the exhibition hall of the Sixth Army Corps. People are very pragmatic, and with so many options available, there was no need to invest in the uncertain factor of the Sixth Army Corps.

…

“Commander Cheng and the others are trapped…”

Wang Tao’s expression was very serious.

When he had last visited the Sixth Army Corps, nobody had told him about this… However, upon reflection, it was not really anyone’s fault, since he had not asked.

After reading the message Cheng Yiyi had left for him, he had left without further inquiry. Additionally, since he hadn’t encountered that Deputy Legion Commander, nobody had voluntarily informed him. After all, others presumably thought that Wang Tao, as a consultant, would know everything. But little did they know, Wang Tao hadn’t been in town; he had been outside for many days, completely unaware…

“Is there any danger to Commander Cheng and the others?”

Wang Tao asked.

Little Ling and Little Liu were clearly not just ordinary staff; they were aware of this situation.

“Previously, our team outside received a message from the Commander, saying they were only temporarily trapped and were not in life-threatening danger, and that they would be able to return once the zombie horde passed. But when this kind of statement is made public, people simply don’t believe it…”
