Chapter 172 Follow Me From Now On

Leng Yi raised an eyebrow, accidentally killing a wanted criminal, "So we have eliminated harm to the people."

He didn't explain about the submachine gun and no one else dared to ask more questions. Anyway, they knew he was capable.

"Didn't you see these people coming up when you were patrolling the periphery?" Leng Yi asked the two policemen.

"This..." The police hesitated. "Yunshan is so big and there are no walls. Who knows where they came from? We don't have enough manpower."

Leng Yi thought for a moment, "Someone must have tipped them off. Otherwise, how would they have known about the food delivery in the afternoon? There might be a traitor in the mountains!"

Li Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Yi, we just went to the management office to get a gun, but the captain refused to give it to us. He also said that if I interfered, he would kill me, saying that I was collaborating with the enemy..."

Leng Yi narrowed his eyes, "Did he really say that?"

"I think he's more like collaborating with the enemy than anything else," Lin Feng said indignantly. "He even held a gun to Li Liang's head. If I hadn't stopped him, who knows what would have happened."

"He pointed a gun at your head?" Leng Yi's face suddenly darkened. He had been a soldier and the army had taught him not to point guns at his comrades at any time or place. How dare that man?

Li Liang sneered, "That guy was recruited through the backdoor. He's never been a soldier, but he's become arrogant just because he has a little power. He's jealous of your influence in Yunshan."

Leng Yi sneered, "I'd like to see what he's so proud of. How dare he point a gun at my comrades?"

"Brother Yi, forget it. I'm fine, aren't I?" Li Liang smiled. Leng Yi's words were enough.

"You two." Leng Yi looked at the two policemen, "You'd better go back, so that the captain won't have any evidence against you tomorrow. Leave this to Li Liang and Lin Feng!"

The two looked at each other, not expecting Leng Yi to care so much about them. "Brother Yi, it's okay. Although we are responsible for the periphery, we can't ignore the problems in the mountains."

"Let's go back. Everything is fine here." Leng Yi said, "We can handle these bodies."

When the two heard Leng Yi say this, they stopped insisting, said something to Li Liang and went down the mountain.

Leng Yi looked at Li Liang and Lin Feng and said, "You and the captain had such a fight today, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue your work."

"I've wanted to quit for a long time. The pay is low, the work is heavy, and there are cliques inside. I'm on better terms with Li Liang," Lin Feng said. "I was hired later, so it doesn't matter. Li Liang was a former police officer transferred here, so it's considered a formal job."

Li Liang laughed at himself. "It's the end of the world, what's the point of having a formal job? Those with formal jobs don't get a pound of grain more than them, so aren't they still being ostracized?"

Li Liang looked at Leng Yi and said, "Brother Yi, if you don't mind, I will follow you in the future, right?"

"I can do it too." Lin Feng said quickly.

Leng Yi nodded. "I don't mind, but I'm worried that your parents might disagree. I'm really short of people here, and if you follow me, I won't treat you unfairly."

Li Liang and Lin Feng exchanged a glance and said, "We'll resign tomorrow. I'll go talk to my parents."

Apart from anything else, the wages and benefits alone are incomparable.

The security team’s salary is 20 kilograms of food, and Leng Yi’s salary is 2 kilograms a day, which is 60 kilograms a month.

Now is the end of the world, having food is the most important thing.

Although it is not a formal job, in this doomsday world you may face unpredictable disasters at any time and you don’t know when you will die. It doesn’t matter whether it is formal or not. You just live one day at a time.

Even without that salary, I am not restricted and can do whatever I want without having to worry about other people's feelings.

Leng Yi nodded, "Then follow me from now on!"

The two men gathered all the bodies together, and Leng Yi searched them all, finding some supplies and weapons.

Half of them had guns, and many of them were shot dead before they could even fire. No one expected the other side to have such fierce firepower, and they had no time to react at all.

Leng Yi took two pistols and checked whether there were still bullets in them, and gave one to Li Liang and Lin Feng respectively.

"Take this."

"Brother Yi..." Both of them were stunned. To be honest, even in the security team, not everyone has a gun. They are only temporarily equipped with guns when they are on more dangerous missions.

Leng Yi smiled, "Times are different now. Carrying a gun is not illegal. You should also learn to protect yourselves. Take it, and keep it carefully. Don't let anyone steal it."

"Thank you, Brother Yi!" The two men took the gun and couldn't let it go, then quickly put it away.

"There should be a special place to collect these corpses, right? There must be dead people among the centipedes that appeared these days, right?" Leng Yi asked.

"Yes!" Li Liang nodded. "There's a special house at the foot of the mountain that serves as a morgue. We'll put the body there."

Yang Qing had been watching them from inside and heard their conversation, and took out a tricycle from the space.

"Leng Yi, take this out and let them load the bodies." Yang Qing shouted.

Leng Yi took out the tricycle, dragged it outside the iron gate, loaded the bodies onto the tricycle, and it took three trips to load all the bodies away.

"It's too late today. Go back and have a good rest. It's okay to come later tomorrow." Leng Yi said.

"Brother Yi, we're fine." Li Liang smiled. "We'll just go back and take a nap later."

Leng Yi smiled and said, "Go ahead!"

Li Liang and Lin Feng returned to the villa where they lived. Li Liang's parents were waiting for him anxiously and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him back.

The gunshots on the top of the mountain lasted for so long that they were very worried about the children. Guns have no eyes, and if something happened to the children, they really didn't know what to do.

Li Liang returned to his room and closed the door.

"Dad, Mom, I want to discuss something with you. I want to resign and follow Brother Yi from now on." Li Liang said.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Father Li asked hurriedly.

Li Liang then recounted the conflict he had just had with the team leader at the management office.

"He put a gun to your head? How could he do that?" Father Li became furious when he heard this. He had been a soldier before and knew that this was a big taboo.

Li Liang snorted coldly, "Maybe what happened today is related to him. Fortunately, Brother Yi and the others are powerful."

Li Liang repeated that Leng Yi and the other two had guns and Leng Yi also had a submachine gun.

Father Li pondered, "I didn't expect his background to be so powerful. Getting a submachine gun in our country is not easy."

"I think so too. Besides, my salary working for Brother Yi is three times that of the security team, and I don't have to look at the captain's face anymore. Even if he doesn't fire me, how can I have a good life in the future?"

Li's mother nodded when she heard this. "Yes, what if he keeps binding Xiaoliang's feet every day and makes him do something bad? Wouldn't that be even more dangerous? I think he should just quit."

"As long as we are together as a family, it doesn't matter if we work or not, as long as we have food to eat, that's all that matters."

Father Li nodded and said, "I think Leng Yi is a man who can accomplish great things. It's worth following him."
