After the apocalypse, I became a dragon

Zhang Tiejun apologized to Huang Ze with a grim look on his face.

Huang Ze frowned slightly and said, "After the battle in Hongdu is over, you will go to the new regiment and serve as the head of the regiment!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Zhang Tiejun felt bitter, as being promoted to regiment leader was a promotion in name only, but actually a demotion in reality.

Although he is the deputy battalion commander of the Alien Battalion of the Guards Regiment, he can temporarily command the entire legion on behalf of Huang Ze.

Once he becomes the leader of the new group, he will withdraw from Huang Ze's core team.

Of course, he also knew how big a mistake he had made this time. After all, the strategic plan included capturing the main ship docked in Hongdu.

In order to capture the main ship, he had to quickly attack Hongdu. Seeing that the second line of defense was too difficult and the main attack group was very tired, he slowed down the attack and chose to rest.

As a result, the pirate Burroughs just ran away.

Huang Ze didn't say anything else, but rode the flying pig directly into Hongdu. After flying around Hongdu, his face suddenly became gloomy!

Most of the population is gone!

There is no doubt that Burroughs plundered a large number of people before leaving, at least about two million!

The fate of these people is obvious, they will be sold as slaves!

This Burroughs is indeed a ruthless man.

Not only is he cruel to the humans of Dragon Star, he is even crueler to the Lapus pirates. One hundred starships will probably make Lapus feel painful.

Of course, Burroughs' escape made Huang Ze think that this man was a talent. As for the loss, he actually didn't suffer any loss. As for the main ship, to be honest, even if it reached the heavenly level, it might not be possible to capture it.

Because the main ships have self-destruct systems, once an enemy wants to seize or occupy them, the self-destruct systems can be activated.

In one day, Hongdu was recaptured by the White Dragon Legion, but almost half of the population was gone.

There are less than three million people left. As a provincial city, this population is really pitifully small, not to mention that it is a southern city.

Huang Ze left Du Qian and others to deal with city affairs, and he came to a prisoner-of-war camp.

Here are some of Burroughs' slaves and crew members who had made mistakes.

In the interrogation room.

Huang Ze interrogated these alien slaves one by one, and a long-eared humanoid creature caught his attention.

"What is your name?"

"Your Excellency, I gave myself a Xia country name, Li Haoran."

The long-eared creature looked embarrassed.

"Okay, Li Haoran, what is your position in the Burroughs Fleet?"

Huang Ze asked.

"Sir, I am usually responsible for maintaining the intelligence and network security in the fleet."

Li Haoran said respectfully.

Upon hearing about Li Haoran's job, Huang Ze immediately showed a look of joy. There was no doubt that Li Haoran was a very important talent, because all the starships in the White Dragon Legion needed maintenance, and although Wang Ming knew a little about programming, it was not enough.

What Huang Ze didn’t expect was that he would be able to take advantage of the opportunity after Burroughs escaped.

However, in order to make Li Haoran loyal to him, he could not show the slightest desire to recruit talented people.

"Very good. I can give you a chance to pledge your loyalty to me. If you fail, I will execute you because the White Dragon Legion will not support idlers, especially pirates like you whose hands are stained with the blood of Dragon Star humans."

Huang Ze said with a serious expression.

Li Haoran was so frightened that his long ears trembled and even his whole body was shaking.

He immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Sir, although I am an engineer recruited by Burroughs, I have never killed a human from Dragon Star. I can swear on my mother's name!"

"Is your mother still alive?"

Huang Ze asked, he was very curious whether Li Haoran would tell the truth.

"Yes, my mother is in the capital of the Galactic Empire."

Li Haoran said quickly.

"Okay, in that case, I will spare your life for now. You will serve on the White Dragon. Well, just serve for twenty years. After twenty years, you can leave freely!"

Huang Ze thought about it and gave a deadline.

This way, Li Haoran would have an idea. Otherwise, even if he caused damage to the White Dragon, he would not be able to find out.

When Li Haoran heard that he would serve for twenty years, he was overjoyed. Although twenty years is not short, it is not long either. He is a race of immortals. He doesn't even know if the human from Dragon Star in front of him can live for ten years. After all, humans from Dragon Star are a short-lived species, and a super short one at that.

He was thinking, of course, of the cosmic tidal year.

But Huang Ze was talking about the Year of the Dragon Star.

This mistake made Li Hao regret it deeply, but that’s a story for later.

Huang Ze was thinking that the matter of expelling the pirates would be resolved in ten years. Regardless of success or failure, he had entered the interstellar space and should have a lot of money by then, so recruiting an engineer should not be a problem.

In this way, other slaves also became menial servants on the White Dragon Legion's starships in various forms to maintain the operation of the starships.

Huang Ze boarded the White Dragon with only Li Haoran.

After entering the control room, he said to Li Haoran: "Check the White Dragon first. Tell me if there is anything that needs to be repaired or is wrong. Don't lie, otherwise you will die miserably. Since you want to be loyal to me, don't hide anything. I don't like deception either. And you only have one chance."

"Yes, Commander!"

Li Haoran quickly agreed.

Now that he has joined the White Dragon Legion, he is addressed as "Commander".

Li Haoran took out his toolbox and began testing the intelligent brain. Soon his expression changed.

Huang Ze noticed all these subtle changes and must have discovered something.

He wanted to see if the long ears would tell him.

The inspection lasted for a full hour.

"Commander, the first-level authority of the White Dragon has not been overwritten, which will cause a huge security loophole for the White Dragon. If the commander gives me some time, I will definitely be able to crack the initial key."

Li Haoran naturally knew that the White Dragon was the pirate ship that Huang Ze had robbed, and that the method used to transform the White Dragon into a main ship was very crude. In addition, he had worked here in Burles for three years and had a lot of contact with the pirates' main ship's intelligent computer.

That's why he could boast that he could crack the initial key.

In fact, it is very difficult to crack the initial key, otherwise there would not be the concept of different levels of authority.

Huang Ze was overjoyed in his heart, but said seriously: "Not bad, you actually found a loophole that the first-level authority has not been overwritten. Okay, I will give you some time, but you have to know that my patience is limited!"

"Three months. I only need three months. Oh... three months in the Dragon Star Era. I will definitely complete the mission!"

This time, Li Haoran fought hard.

"Okay, I look forward to your good news. During this period, you will get the treatment you deserve."

Huang Ze said.

He immediately started the spaceship, and the target location was naturally Bailong County.

Li Haoran looked at Huang Ze's operation and suddenly smiled bitterly. It was obvious that the commander was a beginner in starship. Although he was skilled in the operation, the traces of manipulation were too obvious.

However, Huang Ze was able to give him three months, which made him somewhat grateful.

After all, Burroughs wouldn't do that. He would just whip him and not even give him food.

It was because of this that he was thrown into jail after making a mistake.

Unexpectedly, Burroughs escaped.

This shows how powerful the commander is.

He felt at ease following such a powerful person, and hoped that he could see his mother again.
