After saying this, Shorty walked up to Li Rui and said, “I’m a very fair person. Although Lao Lu asked me to take care of you, it all depends on your performance and strength in the future.”

“Got it!” Li Rui replied. Shorty nodded with satisfaction. “I’m very easy-going, but I also have a bottom line. Everyone can call me Shorty here, but when you leave here, you have to call me sir, do you hear me?”

“Roger that!” Everyone replied in unison.

At the same time, they were glad that they had met a good-tempered sir.

“Alright, follow me to the dormitory.. A veteran will be there to lead you.”

After saying that, Shorty led Li Rui and the others to the small house next door.

The house was not big, but it could accommodate a few hundred people at a time. Li Rui and the other one thousand people were quickly distributed by Shorty.

Shorty led them to the first room and separated a hundred people from the team to hand them over to the veteran at the door.

Then he continued to distribute the people behind him like he did just now.

“Alright, recruits, follow me in.” the veteran said as he led them into the room.

From the outside, the room looked very small, but after entering the room, they realized that the room was actually very big.

It wouldn’t be a problem to accommodate Li Rui and the other 100 people.

“Let’s not talk about anything else first. Tomorrow, you guys follow me to learn. Tonight, you guys choose a team leader. Tomorrow, you’ll gather outside the dormitory.”

After the veteran finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Li Rui and the others. He entered his room and began to do his own things.

The recruits looked at each other and started to chat with each other.

Li Rui was not interested in the rookie captain. He simply found a room and lay on the bed.

He recalled the voice in his mind today.

Am I hallucinating, or is it real?

Thinking about this, Li Rui tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He kept trying to figure out what was going on.

But no matter how he repeated the voice, it did not ring again. This made him a little discouraged.

Then, he fell asleep in a daze.

Soon, the work bell rang. Li Rui dragged his tired body along with the flow of people and walked outside.

When they reached the outside, a group of people began to discuss what the veteran would teach them.

Soon, the veteran slowly walked over without a trace of tension.

The veteran yawned as he looked at the recruit and slowly said, “Everyone, don’t be nervous. We are the last one to appear.”

He patted his head and said, “Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you what we do. Excuse my poor memory.”

“Ahem, alright, let’s be serious. My name is Boerben. You can call me Da Ben.”

“As for us, we are in charge of collecting the corpses of the alien races on the battlefield. If they are intact, we will send them to the martial arts department, or if they are eatable, we will send them to the canteen. The rest will be piled here.”

Hearing the veteran’s words, everyone nodded. Then, the veteran continued,

“There is one more important thing to note. Do not collect human corpses. Do not ask why. You will know someday.”

Hearing the veteran’s words, everyone just nodded and did not dare to say anything. After all, there were some things that could not be said directly with words.

Only those who had personally experienced it would understand.

Seeing that this group of recruits were very sensible, Boerben nodded his head in satisfaction. “Alright, that’s about all I have to say. Who is your captain chosen by yourselves? Let him come out for a moment.”

After the veteran finished speaking, the tallest man who stood at the front walked out and introduced himself to the veteran:

“Hello, Sir. My name is Kaluoer.”

“Hello, Kaluoer. Don’t be so nervous. Our Logistics Department is not a group of people who follow the rigid rules of the War Department.”

Boerben smiled as he spoke and patted Kaluoer’s shoulder continuously.

“Alright, now come with me to see what kinds of alien corpses there are. There are also some matters needing attention”

“Roger that!”

Everyone replied and then followed Boerben to walk into the distance. While walking, Boerben said.

“That’s the alien scorpion race. When you retrieve their corpses, you have to be careful. The poisonous tail pins on their tails will shoot out. If you touch something you shouldn’t touch, be careful not to lose your life.”

Boerben pointed into the distance with a tail that was as long as a telephone pole.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing at. There was a scarlet tail standing there.

It was just a tail of an alien race corpse. They did not expect that an alien race’s tail would be so big.

What kind of battle would those gold-rank warriors encounter? At this moment, they regained their senses.

Their originally excited emotions were all suppressed. And with Boerben’s explanation, everyone began to have an understanding of the enemies they would encounter on the Wan Zu battlefield.

It was no longer like when they had just arrived, wanting to go up and fight against other races to improve themselves.

Was it really possible for humans to defeat such a huge tail?

Everyone guessed in their hearts. During the entire morning, everyone’s recording device had recorded the entire process of Boerben’s lecture, the strange beasts and alien races that he had mentioned, and some matters needing attention.

However, according to his words, the hundreds of matters needing attention explained during this half day was only one point.

It was also something that their group of bronze-rank and black iron-rank warriors could solve. Later on, he would introduce them something that the silver-rank ones should pay attention to.

This was because after the alien races’ strength increased again, their bodies would undergo changes.

Things that could have been fatal would become non-fatal, while things that were originally unknown would become fatal.

This was very difficult for a group of newbies like them to distinguish. Then, Boerben began to teach them how to distinguish the strength of the beasts, and how to escape in the best way. Hearing this, Li Rui finally understood why the old man said he would found the most comfortable position for him. 

The alien races were mostly killed by the Vanguard Army, as cleaners on the battlefield, they would go to collect the corpses and could learn life-saving skills.

In addition to the knowledge of identifying the level of the exotic beasts, it could be said that they could learn a lot here.

Moreover, he remembered that the voice in his mind last time was because he had touched the corpse of the beast.

He had to find an opportunity to try again. Maybe that thing really existed.

In seven days, Li Rui had learned from the conversations of others that all the rookies would be sent to the battlefield in three months, including Li Rui and the others. Not only did they have to clean up, but they also had to participate in this war.

Of course, their goals were simpler than those of the Combat Department. They just had to survive.

As for the Combat Department, they had a hunting mission. If the mission was not fulfilled, they were not allowed to return to the base.

Because the combat strength of the logistics department was not as strong as that of the Combat Department, the standards stipulated were also very different.

There were two benefits for this. One was to temper their impetuous nature.

The other was to let them experience the cruelty of war and thus have the effect of training soldiers.

Of course, it was not just their human recruits who were recruits. Other alien races also used recruits.

This was an invisible treaty between them that formed naturally after a long time, just like the spring, summer, autumn, and winter events were constantly changing.

What Li Rui could do now was to learn good knowledge, and when the time came, he would not be completely ignorant on the battlefield.
