Not only did Deng Hong and his cohort seize the opportunity early, many others who had been watching from the sidelines also rushed over after hearing the news, eager to join the Hope Battle Group.
The people coming to seek refuge were a mixed bag of skills, but Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang didn’t mind. They first registered these newcomers and then gradually integrated them based on their abilities.
Deng Hong and Wan Hao had both been captains under Ji Chengtian, each commanding a thousand men. Therefore, Bai Zhengli simply made them captains of the fifth and sixth combat teams. Deng Hong was, in comparison to Meng Ping, rather impulsive, so Meng Ping was made the captain and Deng Hong his deputy.
Deng Hong felt unwilling to accept this, but he had changed a lot these past days. Although he was still unhappy with Meng Ping, his previous jealousy and murderous intent had diminished, and he had become much calmer. He dared not complain about Bai Zhengli’s decision, so he privately challenged Meng Ping to a fight. It was a fierce battle, but after getting knocked down by Meng Ping due to his impulsiveness, he finally fully acknowledged Meng Ping’s leadership.
Wan Hao and Liu Yue’s positions remained unchanged. Wan Hao had always been more composed than Liu Yue, who was more impulsive. Fortunately, Liu Yue respected Wan Hao. Seeing that Bai Zhengli hadn’t disbanded their teams and had instead made them the sixth combat team, Liu Yue and Wan Hao held a high level of respect for Bai Zhengli. They believed that he was not only powerful but also had a magnanimity that was uncommon, far superior to Ji Chengtian.
Besides them, other superpower users who came seeking refuge were also integrated gradually. Eventually, the Hope Battle Group gained the seventh to tenth combat teams, with capable leaders appointed as captains.
As the integration of the combat teams was nearing its end, new factories, schools, hospitals, and research institutes were also established. Previously, it would have been impossible to accomplish all this in a short time, but now with the assistance of superpower users, these facilities were built within just a few days.
