Chapter 83 85 Someone confessed
"Didn't you want to extort half of our supplies before? Our sister Rong is kind-hearted. It will be enough if you compensate us with a quarter of the supplies." Jiang Jie had an expression that said, "We are so generous, you should be content."
Xu Kunqin's old face was blue with suffocation. There were nearly a hundred people in his team, including men, women, young and old, and they had only prepared six trucks of supplies.
It’s not that I want to bring so many people, but no one is alone. If I want young and strong labor, I have to accept their families.
"You have few people but abundant supplies, while we have many people but few supplies. How about this! You see, chores like making fire and cooking can be handed over to ordinary people. How about I give you a dozen people to do chores? I guarantee that everyone will be diligent and capable, and you won't have to worry about these chores in the future." Xu Kunqin adjusted his facial expression and said with a smile.
Several young and strong men died in the monster's attack, leaving behind more than a dozen elderly, weak, women and children. It was just right to pack them up and send them to them. With so many less mouths to feed, I guess those people in the team will only be happy and no one will gossip.
“Why didn’t you kill Ji Cunxi just now? That weapon was so strange. If you let him run away, who knows how he will grow into in the future?” Cui Lie’s face was cold. Although he knew that killing everyone in public might easily cause trouble, it would always make people feel uneasy if they did not get rid of the roots.
"Did you see those complicated looks in the crowd just now?" Rong Xianxian said with a smile.
"You mean those people are very tempted, and Ji Cunxi may not be able to keep the weapon, but what if someone protects him..." Cui Lie felt uneasy, as if there was something stuck in his throat.
"He can't stay in the civilian convoy. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Now that Ji Qing is dead, those people with certain strength will want to get the weapon. The families of the previous victims will not let him go. More people will be on guard against him and avoid him." Rong Xianxian said firmly.
“What if he gets desperate and ambushes us and tries to launch a sneak attack…” Cui Lie’s eyes were dark, and deep in his heart he recalled those bloody memories.
"You're right. There are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there's no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days." Rong Xianxian suddenly smiled complacently.
"So I drugged him when he was injured, so he had no chance to sneak attack us." Rong Xianxian tampered with Ji Qing's sword when she withdrew Ji Qing's consciousness.
Several people smiled knowingly.
To be honest, seeing Ji Qingzhu being sucked dry in just a dozen minutes, even Cui Lie, who was experienced in memory recovery, felt his scalp tingling, not to mention others.
Ji Cunxi's departure with hatred really made them unable to sleep or eat.
Cui Lie felt relieved only after hearing Rong Xianxian say that she had done something.
"Sister Rong, do you think Jiang Jie can come up with something?" Rong Xianxian and others were busy chatting while cooking.
"Asking for supplies is equivalent to asking for his life. If you don't make him feel the threat to his life, it is impossible for him to provide supplies." Rong Xianxian said without much concern. Xu Kunqin is an old fox. Jiang Jie is very young and he doesn't take action. He just negotiates and tests. He can't be his opponent.
"We have so many supplies and we don't need his stuff. Why bother arguing with him? If you want to use them to establish your authority, it would be easier to break all their legs." Wang Qirui said disapprovingly.
"It's easy to break their legs, but they all have families with them. If a monster attacks, and someone in their team dies, they will blame us. Now we are camping in the wild, there are many dangers, so we should try not to hurt anyone if possible." Rong Xianxian said in a calm tone, reading a piece of paper folded into a booklet in her hand with great interest.
A large pot of hot and sour dumpling soup was bubbling in a large iron pot, emitting bursts of aroma. Shang Yuege, Zhang Xiaoxiao and others, who had already approached, smelled the sour and spicy aroma, and their mouths automatically secreted saliva and their stomachs rumbled.
"Xianxian, what are you looking at?" Shang Yuege's tone was gentle, making people feel like spring breeze.
Seeing them approaching from afar, Rong Xianxian heard the noise, put away the booklet and looked up.
"You seem to be quite good at cooking. Do you have a recipe?" Zhang Linyu glanced at Rong Xianxian with a sarcastic tone. She was blind in one eye, and in her current situation, she couldn't wear a fake eyeball, so she had to wear an eye patch, and she looked like a one-eyed person.
Rong Xianxian frowned at Zhang Linyu. Zhang Linyu seemed to feel a chill behind him and unconsciously shrank behind Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Behind her was the window of the RV. Xiao Luo stared at Zhang Linyu fiercely through the window. He remembered this woman.
"Xianxian, you are few in number, so why don't you join my team? It's just a nominal joining, you are still independent, you don't have to participate in anything in the team, and you don't have to do anything." Shang Yuege had a gentle expression, and looked like a gentle and elegant gentleman. He carried a long sword on his back. The scabbard had intricate patterns and extraordinary material, which was very consistent with his personal temperament.
Before Rong Xianxian could speak, someone at the side sneered.
"Captain Shang is joking. Doctor Rong became famous in one battle and replaced the father and son of the Ji family. The combat power of the team can be ranked among the top five. No one will dare to provoke us in the future. Why should I join your team?" A man who was about thirty years old, tall and graceful, with a fair face and red lips, a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, and a slightly feminine temperament chuckled and walked out.
"Young Master Ye, Xianxian is an old acquaintance of mine. They are outnumbered, and although they have temporarily intimidated those people with bad intentions, who knows if there will be someone who is persistent and secretly plotting something. After all, with a small number of people, there are places that cannot be taken care of, and you never know when they might suffer losses. If they don't join my team, will they join yours?" Shang Yuege looked at the man who jumped out to make trouble with an unpleasant expression.
The person who just jumped out is named Ye Lanxin, he is from Beijing and works as a manager in a family business. This time he organized a team-building activity for company employees, but he encountered the end of the world and was trapped in Chongzhou.
After the end of the world, he organized the company's employees to occupy a nearby supermarket, fighting monsters and collecting treasures. He led most of the employees to become practitioners. He was very popular in the team and he had the final say.
Their group of 38 people are all young people around 30 years old or even in their twenties. Most of them are single men and women. They are all familiar colleagues and have the same destination, so the team cohesion is strong and their strength ranks among the top among the civilian teams.
"Excuse me for introducing myself. My name is Ye Lanxin. I'm from Beijing. I'm exactly 30 years old this year, and I'm still unmarried. When I first met Dr. Rong today, I was attracted by your elegant demeanor. I'm very happy. I wonder if we can get to know each other?" Ye Lanxin looked at Rong Xianxian with a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes.
Rong Xianxian shuddered and instantly got goosebumps all over her body.
