Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Is there new news? ...
It is not an easy task to evacuate a large group of people. Fortunately, with the previous reminders from Zhang Rui and Shi Fang, those who gathered to leave were well prepared.
Those who don't have powerful props support each other, gather in groups of three or four, and take turns to take a temporary rest.
Originally, Zhang Rui wanted to leave temporarily to find an open sea area for adjustment.
But considering that they had an unpleasant encounter with that group of people before leaving, and the covetous look on Guan Long's group's face, Lu Baian and the others had a brief discussion and decided to go somewhere farther away and think about their next plan.
Relying on the last breath they held in their hearts, with Shifang leading the way in eliminating the danger, the huge team of more than one person had no idea how far they had walked.
I only remember walking from dawn to dusk, even risking the darkness, setting up an avoidance system between floating objects, and continuing on the road for a while.
Until the dark night sky was filled with stars, Chang Ruijia, who was alone outside the team and in charge of mobile warning, walked around with the camping equipment.
Looking at the tired faces of the people who were struggling to follow the team, as well as Lu Baian and Zhang Rui who were trying their best to organize the team despite being exhausted, he finally spoke up to stop them.
"How about we just stop here today?" Chang Ruijia quickened her pace and approached Lu Baian. Her slightly hoarse voice suddenly rang out on the silent sea.
"What's wrong?" Hearing Chang Ruijia's voice, Lu Baian raised his hand to signal the team to slow down temporarily, and he rowed to Chang Ruijia's side.
"So much has happened today, and everyone's exhausted. Even if we keep rowing, we might not be able to get much further. Why don't we just stop here?"
Seeing the pensive look on Lu Baian's face, Chang Ruijia offered sincere advice, "Besides, running around like a headless fly won't necessarily help us avoid danger. Don't forget our ultimate goal."
Lu Baian looked at the time and saw that it was almost dawn. After pondering for a moment, he immediately agreed with her suggestion, nodded, returned to the center of the team, and raised his voice slightly.
"Everyone, listen to me!" Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, Lu Baian, who was standing on the floating object, continued, "Thank you all for your recognition and support of our team and for being willing to leave with us under such circumstances."
"Please believe that we will never let you down. We will definitely find a safe and comfortable place and rebuild a market that satisfies everyone."
"Everyone has worked hard for half a day, so we'll take a break here today. The crowd will gather in the center, and the guards will work harder to patrol and protect. A few of us leaders will guard the outermost perimeter, so everyone should rest."
What Lu Baian said made sense. Those who were willing to follow them were more willing to recognize and believe in them. After hearing what he said, the applause that started from somewhere gradually became one.
"Don't worry, Brother Lu, we absolutely believe in your character!"
"That's right. We built this market from scratch. Why are we afraid of the current situation?"
"I've already told you that the information we received is dangerous, and you're still guarding that shabby place. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
…
There was a lot of chattering, but no one blamed Lu Baian and the others for being impulsive.
Lu Baian had to admit that although the originally large-scale market had become a small team of less than a hundred people, the current team atmosphere was exactly what he wanted at the beginning.
In this dangerous sea, having few people is not a problem. The most important thing is that the entire team must persevere with one mind.
When his eyes met those of Zhang Rui and the others who were also standing there in a daze, Lu Baian knew that they were feeling the same as he was.
After the sighing voices were finished, the mood of the entire team gradually calmed down, and they began to start their night rest and guard work in an orderly manner as required.
Lu Baian, Zhang Rui and others slowly separated from the team and joined Chang Ruijia who had been waiting nearby.
"I was busy on my way. How are you all doing? Did anything go wrong at the market?"
"It's okay," Zhang Rui, who was the most affected at the market, was the first to speak.
It was just that what had just happened made her voice choke for a moment when she spoke, but she adjusted her mood quickly and recovered after a few words.
But Lu Baian and the others did not show any mocking eyes. The scene of unity in the team just now was so moving that even they could not help but be moved, not to mention the emotional Zhang Rui.
Shi Fang, who had been standing with Zhang Rui, heard the sob in her voice and quickly took over the conversation, "Nothing happened. Even though they were outnumbered, they were all very cowardly. They just kept talking and didn't even dare to move their hands."
"We're fine too," Zhong Yuan added quietly, raising her hand. She looked at Zhang Rui with an apologetic look, "It's just that Uncle Yu and I arrived too late, so we couldn't help at all."
"Hey, don't say that," Zhang Rui, who had calmed down, patted Zhong Yuan's arm. "You and Brother Yu are both technical talents. As long as Shi Fang and I are here, there's no need for you to charge into battle. What if you get hurt?"
"It's my fault for not considering it carefully," Lu Baian's voice was also full of apology, "I left everything to you and Shifang. If I had known..."
"Alright, alright," Zhang Rui quickly reached out to stop the conversation. "What are you talking about? We're not a team, are we? Everyone has their own division of labor, and that's normal. What's there to be sorry about? If you keep going, we'll both start apologizing for our incompetence."
As soon as Zhang Rui said this, several people looked at each other. The things they had just taken responsibility for were thrown aside, and now they all started to laugh sincerely.
The saying "sharing joys and sorrows" is still very obvious in them. One blow after another will not only not break them, but will only make them more united.
"Okay, okay, everything is over. Everyone should look forward," Lu Baian directly put a final conclusion to the previous events, overshadowing the topic of assigning blame.
"Well, the next problem we have to face is which direction to move to. This is not only to reselect our base, but also to avoid the dangerous incidents we sensed at the beginning."
When it came to business, Zhang Rui and the others' expressions suddenly became serious, and they all started brainstorming.
After a long chattering discussion, Zhang Rui finally asked a key question, "Brother Lu, what did you and Sister Chang gain from this trip?"
Hearing Zhang Rui's question, Shi Fang and the others immediately fixed their eyes on the two men. The answer Lu Baian and the others brought back was crucial to the next decision.
Speaking of this, Chang Ruijia couldn't help but look at Lu Baian and said affirmatively, "Yes!"
Recalling the conversation he was having with the garrison leader when he received the distress message sent by Shifang, Lu Baian cleared his throat. "Those things hadn't happened yet, but after confirming their departure, I inquired about some of the directions, which happened to correspond to some of the things we knew."
Does it correspond to what they know? Zhang Rui and Shi Fang, who usually collected the most information about the market, looked at each other, unable to recall what information they had received about leaving.
Fortunately, Lu Baian had no intention of keeping the secret and announced directly, "Do you remember the armed police officer named Wu Jin who moved here with his team? They mentioned him before."
Speaking of this, Shifang immediately found an idea, "The one who was planning to head east?"
"Yes," Lu Baian nodded affirmatively, "We were looking for the station we passed by when we got the news. Someone also got the news that there might be an official station in the east."
"That's great!" Zhang Rui clapped his hands and said, "What could be more reliable than the official base? That would be so safe!"
Shi Fang, who had been a little hesitant when he heard the news, looked at her strangely, gently nudged her arm, and asked in a low voice.
"If you join the official market, you'll have to obey the orders of the higher-ups, and you won't be able to manage the business anymore. Is that okay with you?"
Hearing Shi Fang's hesitation, Lu Baian and the others seemed to suddenly react and looked at Zhang Rui worriedly.
If we talk about the person who has contributed the most in the market, Lu Baian, Shi Fang and others are not even on the list. Zhang Rui, who is always in the market, can be said to be the undisputed leader.
She thrives among the merchants every day. If she is suddenly unable to do anything, can she adapt to such a life all of a sudden?
"Why not?" Zhang Rui rolled his eyes as if he suddenly realized something. "I'm not a masochist, okay? It's just that no one else could do this kind of thing before, so I forced them to do it. What's wrong with being able to relax and enjoy life like Sister Chang? Do you think managing the team isn't tiring?"
"Besides, even if I really can't adapt, won't the official market allow me to set up stalls? It's not easy for me to run my own small business, not to mention that you are behind me."
Chang Ruijia, who usually doesn't speak in team meetings, said, "Yes, since I'm a supplier, Zhang Rui can be my agent."
"That's right," Zhong Yuan quickly raised her hand in agreement. "When Uncle Yu and I have completed our research, we'll hand it over to Sister Zhang Rui. It'll definitely be a big deal."
"Hahahahaha, see? It's all big business." Zhang Rui smiled and patted Shifang's shoulder. Even if they lost the market after joining the official, what would it matter? They still had the team!
"You're right, our team has always existed, and we will always be behind you!" Lu Baian nodded affirmatively.
"I love you!" Several people talked to each other, and Zhang Rui's eyes began to redden. Finally, he slowly stood up, swung his arms, and playfully made a heart shape with his hands on his head.
"Besides, our final destination may not be at the official base," Chang Ruijia said slowly, breaking the touching atmosphere. "If the crisis at the official base doesn't subside, we might have to face the risk of fleeing together with the official people."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Zhang Rui and the others, even Lu Baian looked at her in confusion.
Could it be that there is some news that she doesn't know?
