Lu Yuan felt like he had been tricked.
"No... of course not!"
"A real man's words are like water spilled on the ground; they cannot be as empty as a fart."
"However, once you join our team, you must follow our instructions and cannot..."
Luo Qingcheng smiled gently:
"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to comply."
"Is this okay?"
Luo Qingcheng's tone immediately softened.
"My sister joined your team, and I want to join too!"
Luo Qingguo also stepped forward at this moment.
Lu Yuan glared at her, annoyed.
"What trouble are you causing?"
Luo Qingguo pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, but her eyes darted around, clearly indicating that she wanted to cause trouble.
"Since Mr. Wang is unwilling to join any faction, we naturally cannot force him."
"However, I hope we can visit each other more often, keep in touch frequently, and help each other in the future."
Jin Chaoyang did not show any disappointment, and still politely said it was just a matter of officialdom.
The same applies to the Axe Gang.
In fact, Lu Yuan did not join any faction, which is the best way.
Originally, everyone maintained a balance, but Lu Yuan joining any faction would break that balance.
Other forces would naturally be unhappy, so this outcome is actually the best outcome.
As for the future, that depends on their individual abilities.
"Of course, of course!"
"Everyone, please go ahead with your work. I have some things to take care of."
"By the way, please send the reward to me later, thank you!"
After saying this, Lu Yuan left with his team members.
He didn't seem to notice that the people present were once again stunned by his last sentence.
Meanwhile, Liu Wuqing and Ye Shengnian had already left the city.
Things are different now. With Lu Yuan's current combat strength and reputation, if he chooses to take action against them at the Tai'anju base...
Liu Wuqing believed that the various forces would definitely not turn a blind eye.
When it comes to personal gain, what do systems and rules matter? They're all bullshit.
This is the benefit of strength, and it's also the main reason why Lu Yuan wanted to participate in this power ranking competition.
As soon as Lu Yuan stepped off the stage, Zhao Qiang called him over.
"Where are Liu Wuqing and Ye Shengnian?"
Zhao Qiang opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Lu Yuan was furious!
He repeatedly told this guy to keep an eye on the two of them, and it worked out perfectly.
Judging from this guy's expression, he was so excited that he forgot!
If it weren't for the large number of people here, Lu Yuan would have liked to kick Zhao Qiang in the butt.
This guy has never done anything reliable since he was a child.
"Oh well, let them run away. There will be plenty of other opportunities!"
"Let's go back and celebrate first!"
With the addition of Luo Qingcheng and Luo Qingguo, the strength of the Maple Leaf team increased dramatically.
Luo Qingcheng is ranked third on the combat power list, Luo Qingguo is ranked fiftieth, and Gong Yuehan's ranking has also risen by more than ten places.
No, because Lu Yuan is currently ranked first, and the rankings of the others will drop by one place.
However, this has no impact on Lu Yuan or the Maple Leaf team.
Today's meal was very plentiful. In addition to the ingredients we bought ourselves, the other factions also sent us a lot of fine wine and delicacies.
For example, the bottle of Moutai that Lin Feng is holding is a rare and very expensive item before the apocalypse.
When dining out or having a get-together, there always needs to be something to talk about.
As the team leader, Lu Yuan had no choice but to take the lead.
"First of all, let's celebrate that everyone has successfully entered the battle power rankings today."
"Secondly, let's celebrate that everyone made money today. As for the third, let's welcome our two new team members!"
Let's give them a round of applause!
Actually, when it comes to this new member joining, it's more like a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
Luo Qingguo shamelessly came over on his own.
However, since they were already there, Lu Yuan didn't want to kick them out. Fortunately, he was in a good mood today, so he didn't hold it against them.
Besides, Luo Qingguo's strength is quite good. She was ranked in the top 50 before, which is much better than Gong Yuehan and others.
Aside from the mouth being a bit annoying, it has quite a few other advantages.
"Brother Yuan, what are our plans next?"
Luo Qingcheng, being naturally outgoing, had already learned from Gong Yuehan and the others to address Yuan Ge directly.
"Xuanwu City!"
Lu Yuan uttered these three words while eating.
After the apocalypse, in order to survive, humanity will naturally band together for mutual support, and the military will naturally be the leader.
Therefore, there are countless forces of all sizes so far. Small forces like the Tai'an Gathering Base and the Wan Gang Gathering Area are everywhere.
However, the military is the main force in four cities.
These are the four main cities: Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.
The Xuanwu City that Lu Yuan mentioned is the main city closest to this area.
Upon hearing that they were going to Xuanwu City, Luo Qingcheng frowned.
“Brother Yuan, Xuanwu City is more than 200 kilometers away from here. If we walk, we will have to pass through countless cities, big and small, along the way.”
“Some cities may have tens of thousands of zombies, and it would be too difficult for us to get through.”
Lu Yuan put down his chopsticks.
He glanced at Luo Qingcheng and slowly spoke:
"In the end times, don't be afraid of danger."
"We must grow stronger through danger. Only by constantly experiencing life and death can we become stronger at the fastest speed."
Gong Yuehan was exceptionally well-behaved today, as well-behaved as a kitten.
Perhaps it was her nature, or perhaps it was intentional, but she rarely spoke throughout, only constantly putting food on Lu Yuan's plate.
The banquet lasted for more than two hours, and it was the most luxurious meal that anyone other than the two Luo sisters had eaten since the apocalypse.
Lu Yuan had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and he needed to relax.
For more than a year since the apocalypse, he had been burdened with too many things. After finally becoming a Spirit Master, he was hunted down by the Su family.
This left him exhausted, to the point that he didn't even dare to use his name.
But he's different now; he's grown up.
Although he is not yet able to contend with a settlement, if people are sent to hunt him down now, he can kill as many as they come.
This is the confidence that comes from strength.
Lu Yuan is now considering something else.
That means leaving!
Lu Yuan had two concerns. First, Cai Zhiying.
Although Cai Zhiying once wanted to kill him, and he also wanted to kill Cai Zhiying, he later forgave her and accepted her back into the team.
Then you should care about comforting the other person.
Everyone else has returned except for Cai Zhiying, which makes Lu Yuan quite worried.
After all, Cai Zhiying's previous pet was eaten by Ye Shengnian, and later Lu Yuan gave her a Storm Eagle pet egg.
But it hasn't hatched yet, and even if it does hatch, it will take time to grow.
If Cai Zhiying were to encounter danger during this period, her chances of survival would be very slim.
