Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

When the clock struck two in the afternoon, Qin Min adjusted his suit.
With his fair complexion, Qin Min looked quite presentable in his suit, resembling a very professional host.
He walked briskly onto the podium and smiled gently at the audience.
"Now, I announce that the ultimate combat team is officially established. All of you present here are the first members of the ultimate combat team."
No one spoke.
Although Qin Min's announcement seemed a bit "self-assertive," after Tang Haofei's "invitation" and the presence of the towering figure of Wen Yu, no one could deny the fact that "they were members of the ultimate combat team."
No need for your consent! As long as I say you are my team member, you are my team member!
Tang Haofei's second personality, though ill-tempered, was filled with an unspoken dominance when getting things done!
Seeing the silent crowd below, Qin Min nodded with satisfaction, cleared his throat, and spoke again.
"Our ultimate combat team is an organization that upholds democracy and freedom. If any of you do not wish to join the ultimate combat team, you may speak up; everything is negotiable."
Wen Yu lightly cleared his throat at the right moment, stifling the audience's restlessness.
"Since no one has any objections, then good. Now, let me explain the purpose and significance of establishing our ultimate combat team!"
……
"Our ultimate combat team is initiated by Lord Tang Haofei of the first rank and recognized by Lord Wen Yu of the second rank. The purpose of this organization is to resist the invasion of the demonic clan. All of you present are peak powerhouses of the human race, naturally becoming the main force in resisting the demonic disaster. However, as the saying goes, 'One person's plan is short.' You are all scattered across different regions, too far apart from each other, like strands of silk. Lord Tang Haofei established the ultimate combat team to weave these strands into a single rope, becoming the strongest sword to resist the demonic clan! The strongest shield to protect the human race!"
"Pff..."
Wen Yu struggled to suppress his laughter, his face almost contorted...
How similar this was!
What Qin Min said was remarkably akin to what he had expressed when establishing the lone wanderers' mutual aid union, speaking of "in the name of freedom"!
It was all just empty ideals and visions...
But who were the people present? They were all super strong individuals who had crawled out from the sea of corpses and rivers of blood; they were not easy to deceive!
Things like ideals sound good when spoken, but they are too pale when it comes to action!
No one can live by ideals alone; what do people need to live? Food and water! That is the key concern!
However, organizations... sigh, ultimately, they still need to paint a grand picture for the people below, just like some companies do. They talk about corporate culture, discuss ideals and ambitions, and after that, they talk about life, but never about money...
I work for money! Don't talk to me about ideals; my ideal is not to work! (Cough, cough, getting sidetracked...)
In summary, Qin Min's ramblings were just a show; it was merely a warm-up act.
As expected, the crowd below had wandering eyes... Before the apocalypse, this would have been the moment to take out their phones and play a round of Honor of Kings.
Wen Yu felt goosebumps all over, yet he could not intentionally disrupt this atmosphere; instead, he clapped happily from time to time, stirring the emotions of those below.
In summary, it felt as if they had returned to the atmosphere of the pre-apocalypse meetings.
……
About an hour later, perhaps sensing the impending explosive gazes behind him, Qin Min finally cleared his throat and cleverly cut off the remaining half of his opening speech.
"Alright, that's the purpose and significance of our ultimate combat team's establishment."
"Next, let's talk about what benefits you will receive as a member of the ultimate combat team!"
