"That's not the point. The point is that you attracted everyone's fire all by yourself without my permission. What are you going to do after that?" The commander finally couldn't help but click his tongue.
Logically speaking, someone of his status and experience shouldn't be making such a frivolous move, but today he really couldn't help himself.
Shi Yin was too impulsive. Even if you want to establish authority, this is not the way to do it. While this may have deterred those who opposed her, it also made her own people worry.
After all, Shi Yin didn't forcefully stop the banquet, and the headmaster turned a blind eye. They were completely unaware of these farces. Who knows what Shi Yin might suddenly jump out and kick someone out next time someone makes a mistake?
"Repeated orders don't apply to the apocalypse. I already refused once from the beginning, didn't I?" Shi Yin said casually.
"The problem lies here. You just rejected someone once and then kicked everyone out. Isn't that just one-man rule?" the leader disagreed.
“A team only needs one mouth and one brain to make decisions, but our team doesn’t need them to speak.” Shi Yin chuckled. “Commander, if you want to restore the old system, you can wait until after we defeat the apocalypse.”
"So what do you plan to do with those people?" the commander-in-chief asked helplessly.
“It’s simple. Of course I won’t execute them directly. I’ll just exile them.” Although it’s not much different from execution, Shi Yin thought for a moment and said, “Let Guan Nianshan send them out.”
"Guan Nianshan?" The commander remembered this person: "The one you used to recycle crystal cores?"
"Hmm, they probably swallowed a lot of crystal cores and supplies in private. They need some low-level stimulants and healing agents to get out, so let's give them a few more." Shi Yin raised the corners of her lips: "Besides, with so many fewer people, we'll have fewer supplies to give them."
"The extra money can be used to appease the people, can't it?"
The leader is exhausted, but Shi Yin's calculations are good; apart from being unreasonable, everything else is fine.
As for Guan Nianshan, he had already received Shi Yin's orders and was waiting.
However, in the eyes of those who were captured, Guan Nianshan was a connection they had bribed, and their lifeline.
"Lord Guan, sir, look, this is all we have left. Can you give us more?" A group of people crowded around Guan Nianshan at a clubhouse on the edge of Yanlong Kingdom.
"Forget it, do you know how much trouble I went through to bring you all here without alerting the guards?" Guan Nianshan thought to himself, even though the guards had given him a heads-up.
"Of course we know that, but this is all we can offer." A middle-aged man smiled broadly. "I only have this box of cyan crystal cores left, you see..."
Cyan crystal cores are already considered a relatively important intermediate-level resource, and you say you have such a large box of them?
Guan Nianshan's smile now contained a hint of gritted teeth.
"This little bit?" Guan Nianshan looked disgusted. "I have plenty in my warehouse... Oh well, it's better than nothing. Here's some more healing potions for you."
Shi Yin instructed that less supplies should be given, but more special medicines should be provided.
Although it wasn't as good as the treatment provided by the government, it was still a life-saving measure, and the group was overjoyed.
After that, people took out their most treasured items and exchanged them for food and heating supplies. Someone even took out a green crystal core, which no one knew where they had taken it from.
Guan Nianshan was speechless. Shi Yin was right. When the country was poor, investigating a few corrupt officials would make it rich.
Most of the crystal cores were recovered, but very few resources were given in return.
After all, these people who were detained were still nominally on the run. Although they themselves did not know that they were not in danger, from their perspective, soldiers could come after them at any time to settle scores.
In addition, Guan Nianshan intentionally or unintentionally created a thrilling atmosphere along the way, which frightened the group quite a bit, almost making them pull out all the secrets they had.
Ninety percent of these people are ordinary people, without any special abilities, let alone rare spatial abilities. How much can they possibly take out on their own?
Therefore, Guan Nianshan completed Shi Yin's task with very little. As Shi Yin said, the task was to divide the crystals into three parts: those of cyan and above were to be handed over, and the green ones had to be given to Shi Yin personally.
However, upon returning to the Doomsday Beacon, Guan Nianshan found several people hurriedly surrounding the leader.
Even though Tokine is publicly known, to outsiders she is just a junior officer, at most a subordinate of the commander-in-chief. Outsiders don't know anything about her, so telling Tokine is the most useful thing to do.
"Please be careful, Nanzhu really has disappeared suddenly." The person who spoke did not seem anxious or flustered; his voice was gentle and soothing, and it was clear that he was trying his best to suppress his worry.
Nanzhu?
Guan Nianshan heard a familiar name.
Shi Yin was standing behind the chief, so Guan Nianshan simply came to Shi Yin's side to observe the situation.
"What's wrong?" Guan Nianshan asked in a low voice.
“The monster invasion of the new world has captured two people, and Nan Zhu happens to be with one of them.” Shi Yin crossed her arms, looking nonchalant. “But the doomsday beacon only makes one mistake, so there’s no need to worry.”
"Two people? Who are they?" Guan Nianshan asked curiously. "And if there are only two people, why are there so many people outside?"
“Nan Zhu and Ye Shaoheng.” Shi Yin snorted lightly: “As for why there are so many people… of course it’s because the snow stopped these past two days, and the live broadcast made them so excited and agitated that they came out to march and shout while wearing hand warmers, and were instantly killed when Belfinger showed his face.”
We've already said not to go out or open the windows, are you kidding me? The authorities have issued a statement about the follow-up improvements and relief efforts, but some people are still dissatisfied and want to pressure the government by making public statements.
If Shi Yin hadn't had the system reinforce all the houses nationwide, these people would all be dead at home. Of course, Belfinger would have seized the opportunity as soon as they opened the door.
Their families are so pitiful. They risked their lives wading through the snow to come and seek help, and I suspect many of them died or got stuck on the way.
These are just people living nearby; who knows how many more live further away.
"Sister Yin, are you going to save her?" Guan Nianshan raised an eyebrow. Based on his understanding of Shi Yin, someone who was courting death should have already been considered dead.
“If it were me, I certainly wouldn’t save him.” Shi Yin shrugged. “But if Ye Shaoheng were there, he would probably save him.”
"Belfinger, sounds pretty high-class, but can the two of them really save him?" Guan Nianshan expressed his doubts. He still believed in Ye Shaoheng, who was making ridiculously fast progress and was really lucky.
But Nan Zhu... Guan Nianshan couldn't understand what use this guy was at all. Being smart was one thing, but if he had no superpowers and got captured, wouldn't that be courting death?
"Of course I'll go," Shi Yin sneered. "Did you put tracking tags on those who escaped?"
"Of course." Guan Nianshan patted his chest: "I guarantee I'll complete the mission. You have to trust my abilities."
Shi Yin: "...Don't play with abstract concepts."
"Oh." Guan Nianshan, thick-skinned as ever, stood at attention, his expression unchanged. "So, what do you plan to do?"
“Next, you need to be prepared to get your hands dirty.” Shi Yin put her arm around Guan Nianshan’s shoulder and pointed out the window: “From now on, we’re definitely not good people anymore.”
"Huh?" Guan Nianshan didn't understand. He looked out the window and his eyes widened suddenly.
They are on the eighth floor now, and outside the window there should be nothing but white snow.
But he saw it: countless trees broke through the thick snow and rose from the ground, getting taller and taller, eventually even surpassing their building!
These are plants growing wildly!
