Chapter 139 Leaving the City
The deputy captain opened the door and said, "I'll be leaving first. There are other people who want to buy something."
The old man finally came to his senses, looked up and said, "Hey, it's cold, be careful."
The door behind him was already closed. The deputy captain understood the sadness of the family losing its pillar, but he could not regret it. If he had been a little slower, more people might have died.
The old lady put her things into her backpack and returned to her bedroom.
The family is still wearing winter clothes that can withstand temperatures of +10℃, which can only block out a little of the cold.
"Mom, did the deputy captain come just now?" asked Xiao Chen's wife.
"Well, he bought some good stuff from his friends and sold it to us at the original price. You can change into them later." She took out a bright yellow down jacket.
Xiao Chen's wife took the down jacket and felt warm just by touching it.
There's another one that's obviously for a child.
The old lady placed the newly bought heating stove in the middle of the room. After putting in the firewood, she found that the stove conducted heat very quickly. After being lit for only a short while, she could clearly feel the heat on her face.
"Use the big one first, and keep the small one. The deputy captain left so quickly just now that I didn't have time to return it to him."
The old lady choked up as she spoke, and her daughter-in-law patted her shoulder while holding the child, "Mom, everything will be fine."

Some ordinary residents in the city-state learned that the deputy captain of the city lord's team was selling high-quality winter clothes and heating supplies, and even potions, at low prices.
There aren't many things, so each person can only buy one portion.
They all knew which floor and room the deputy captain's home was in. Some people went directly to the other party's home in order to get supplies earlier.
Yao Bing'an and Li Aoting would go to various shops in the evening every day and buy up all the goods as long as there were any left.
These life-saving supplies were continuously distributed to the deputy captain.
In this funding, they did not spend any money themselves, but just provided a source of goods and helped many families.
He Ange was still in his city lord's mansion thinking about assigning a patrol NPC to go out of the city with him.
However, there are kind-hearted people in the city, and there are also people with bad intentions. There are many people and gossips in the guesthouse, and the fact that the deputy captain sold supplies to ordinary residents was known to people from other teams.
Some people, who wanted to watch the fun, didn't mind making trouble and brought the matter to He Ange's attention.
When He Ange saw the email, he was furious. This deputy captain seemed quite loyal before, but he didn't expect that he would do this behind his back.
The key point is that he has supplies but he only resells them himself.
According to the person who sent the email, the quality of those supplies was much higher than those sold in his store, which made these professional residents want to buy them.
In He Ange's opinion, all the members of the team were his subordinates, and he couldn't bear to treat them specially, so he started to send an email to the deputy captain.
He Ange: I heard you've been reselling supplies lately. The quality is pretty good, that's great. Haven't seen you forming your own team in a few days?
In fact, there is no such thing at all. Establishing a team in a city-state requires reporting, and there will be a special column in the team member’s friend list to mark the classification of teammates.
At this time, the vice-captain is still a member of his team, but the game world does not set any rules for the team, and everyone just gets together simply.
The deputy captain expected that He Ange would definitely know about this.
【If you have done something wrong, you must make some compensation.】
Such a simple sentence almost made He Ange put this person on the blacklist. In fact, he had two people in mind who would provide the material channels.
However, Sun Ming guessed that there might be wild monsters outside, and they were limited in number. If the deputy captain was driven out, it would probably cause public outrage. By then, if a group of people ran out, they would kill the wild monsters if they encountered them.
He Ange: You're so proud of having your own supply channels. It was Yao Bing'an and Li Aoting who sold them to you, right? You're no better than me. You're taking advantage of me closing my shop and reselling it to make a profit.
He knew that prices in Xuantian City were low, but the last time he went there was in the summer, so he had no idea how much things sold there now.
When the deputy captain saw this, he just sneered and didn't reply to him.
He Ange obviously didn't want to let him go, and he felt that he was right and that he didn't reply because he felt guilty.
He Ange: We're all working together after all. I don't have any other intentions. We're just doing business together. Sell me whatever comes over there, and I won't say anything about you making a profit from the difference.
You really think he is making a profit from the price difference, so you use this to threaten him.
The deputy captain was a little confused about the current city lord. He was not so evil before, but now it seemed that his evil genes had fully awakened.
【You can do whatever you want, I have a clear conscience. 】
After saying that, he deleted his name from the team classification, thus withdrawing from the city lord's team.
I don’t know if this action reminded other teammates, but all the players in the category withdrew at once.

After training in the city for a while, for some reason, the various teams in Xuantian City seemed to have a telepathic connection and all wanted to leave.
Lu Jiu and his friends come to the training room every day these days, and they can deal with wild monsters from brown iron level to bronze enhanced level.
The tailor shop has already sold winter clothes that can withstand +30℃, but Lu Jiu thinks that these are better to wear during the coldest times.
Moreover, the training room simulates the winter temperature in the wild, and the clothes we wear now are enough to withstand the cold.
Zhuang Yun prepared lunch for his daughter at home. He was about to go out, and An An also knew that he was going out.
But this time An An didn't show a sad expression like before. Instead, she took a deep breath and said to him, "Dad, you have to work hard outside. I will make good bags at home. When you are old, I will have money to support you."
Zhuang Yun, a grown man, felt a pang of sadness at this moment. "Yes, Dad is working so hard now just to make money. When I'm old, I won't be short of money. You just live your life, just like we agreed before."
An An pursed her lips and nodded, "I know."
He patted his daughter's head, turned and went out. Outside the door, his two teammates were leaning against the corridor with their arms folded.
"Here I come."
"Um."
…
They were the first three to leave the city in winter, and when they reached the city gate, someone noticed them.
"Wow, are they going out? It's so cold outside. Will they be frozen into ice sculptures?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The clothes sold in stores nowadays are so thick and warm. And my sister said that the training room has a temperature that simulates the outdoor temperature."
"I see..."
Lu Jiu and the others were going to leave the city, and everyone in the other teams knew about it.
They still had some doubts about the simulated environment in the training room, but since someone had gone out to be the first one, they were also willing to see what would happen after the people here went out.
Now there is a layer of protective shield in front of Lu Jiu and the others, and outside of it is the real wild environment.
Lu Jiu patted his gloves and put them on, saying, "Let's go. I hope we'll have good luck today and encounter some wild monsters."
When the three stepped out of the protective shield, they immediately felt the temperature around them drop a lot. They were a little uncomfortable for a while, and the cold wind was biting. Fortunately, their clothes were very warm.
Sure enough, the game world system had tricked them, but fortunately the gap wasn't particularly large.
Shen Jufeng covered his face with a scarf, "It's okay, let's go."
In the cold wind and flying snow, the figures of the three people quickly disappeared at the city gate.
