Chapter 132: The Li Family Comes to the Door
There are about forty to fifty two-wheeled, three-wheeled and four-wheeled electric vehicles in total. One is enough for each person in their team. However, they don't want to be too arrogant, so they placed two patrol car-style vehicles at the base. Zhuang Mingxu himself has a single-person four-wheeled vehicle, which is convenient for him to control and go anywhere.
"The relationship between you and Young Master Lu is really enviable," Li Ling greeted and mentioned the purpose of this visit, "Actually, the main reason I came here this time is to find Young Master Lu."
When they came back yesterday, Wu Yue had already told Zhuang Mingxu everything. Zhuang Mingxu knew what was going on when he saw the people hiding behind them, but he didn't want to cooperate at all. "Xiao Yi has gone to look for supplies. How about you wait until he comes back in the evening?"
"Everyone is resting late at night, so how can we have the time?" said a man who followed Li Ling in.
"Song Qi" Li Ling glanced at the man who was speaking, then turned to Zhuang Mingxu and said, "Everyone is indeed resting at night, so I chose to come here in the morning. I didn't expect Young Master Lu to go out so early. However, it will be the same for me to let you be responsible for all the matters in the base."
Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything, just looked at Li Ling and listened to him continue.
"Here's what happened. Yesterday, my team led people to try to get the supplies back from the Sixth Flour Mill. However, after they cleared the zombies and paved the way, Master Lu and his men snatched the supplies away. If it was a small amount, I would have given it to them, but for a large factory..." Li Ling paused and said, "You shipped the supplies back, so I won't be so unkind as to take them all back. I'll give you twenty bags of flour as a reward. What do you think?"
Zhuang Mingxu looked around at the people who came and finally smiled. After a long while, he asked Li Ling, "Do you really not know what's going on? Or are you pretending not to know and deliberately coming here to steal supplies?"
"What do you mean?" Li Ling's face darkened a little after hearing this, knowing that there was obviously something behind this.
Zhuang Mingxu told Li Ling about Wu Yue's version of events, and finally said, "They couldn't defeat the mutant dog, so they left behind a dozen ordinary people and ran away. Our team killed the mutant dog and took the supplies. Now that you've just said that, it's yours that's been stolen?"
"Boss, don't listen to his nonsense. They were the ones who robbed our supplies. We have already cleared out all the zombies outside," Song Qi argued anxiously when he saw Li Ling's grim expression.
"There are fourteen of us in total. We snatched supplies from seventy or eighty of you. Are you useless?" Zhuang Mingxu asked bluntly, glanced at the two people who had been hiding at the back, and snorted, "Although there are always ungrateful people, not all people you abandon will bite back. Among a dozen people, there will always be one or two who will tell the truth. Mr. Li, you'd better ask clearly next time you seek justice. After all, it's embarrassing to be deceived by your subordinates."
When Li Ling saw the evasive eyes of the last two people, he had no idea what was going on. He gritted his teeth silently, forced out a smile and said to Zhuang Mingxu, "You are not strict with your subordinates and have made a fool of yourself."
Zhuang Mingxu stretched out his hand as if to see the guest off.
"Let's go!" Li Ling squeezed out a word from between his teeth and turned around to leave.
Hearing that the Li family had brought people to cause trouble, Lu Xi hurried back and bumped into the door. When he saw that Zhuang Mingxu was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the situation, asking, "Is he so easy to talk to?"
"Li Ling is a man who is unscrupulous and narrow-minded. This time he was deceived by his subordinates and was not well prepared. He was exposed in front of outsiders and could not refute it. He just couldn't save face. If they had said from the beginning that they were eyeing those supplies and wanted to use an excuse to snatch them back, he might not disagree. He would just erase any possible witnesses to refute them and create a posture that they are victims." Zhuang Mingxu finished analyzing the situation for Lu Xi and said, "Let everyone be careful. Li Ling has lost face and he will not let it go in private."
It is indeed as Zhuang Mingxu said, what Li Ling cares about is not stealing supplies. In this end times, even if he asks you for supplies openly, you cannot refute it if you don't have the ability. What he cares about is being betrayed by his subordinates.
On the night he returned, he had everyone gathered together who were involved in collecting supplies at Flour Mill No. 6. After questioning, he learned the truth, which was indeed the same as what Zhuang Mingxu said. Li Ling very peacefully expelled Song Qi and several other leaders from the Li family team.
He explained to the five people in front of everyone, "It's okay to be afraid and run away, but it's a taboo to run away and deceive your superiors. There are thousands of people in all the Li family teams. If thousands of people are like this, how can we manage them in the future?"
"Now it's the end of the world, I won't pursue anything. You will no longer be part of the Li family team. However, in view of your past contributions to the Li family, I will give you some supplies. With your abilities, you will still be able to carve out a place for yourself in the base in the future."
Li Ling earned a reputation for being magnanimous because he could get "severance pay" even if he made a mistake. Before the five people from Song and Qi could express their self-blame, Li Ling's confidant Meng Liang found the five people and waited for them to leave. The five people's anger and resentment eventually turned into helplessness.
**
Lu Xi was afraid that Zhuang Mingxu would not say anything, so he went back that night and told Lu Weiyi about the matter. After a discussion, the group of people could not come up with a good solution. After all, they could not just go to the other party's house if he did not take any action, so they could only be careful of each other.
Apart from the fact that this matter was a bit speechless, the military told a good news, that is, the meat of mutant animals can be eaten, but it contains energy, so ordinary people should eat less or better than not eat it, but it doesn't matter for people with special abilities.
Although Lu Weiyi had known this for a long time, for others, this was something worth being happy about. After all, the several hundred kilograms of meat from two dogs was enough for more than a dozen people to eat for a long time.
"Then we will only eat the meat of mutant animals from now on, and leave the ordinary meat for them to eat," Wu Yue said proactively.
"Okay. When shall we cook the meat? We still don't know what the difference is between the meat of this mutant animal and ordinary meat." Ning Yuan looked at everyone hopefully, waiting for everyone to agree to set a date.
Although the others were curious, no one expressed their opinions. They looked at each other, and finally looked at Lu Weiyi tacitly.
"Then let's deal with it tonight," Lu Weiyi was very reasonable.
"Ah~~" Ning Yuan howled and lay down on the sofa, "I didn't know you were a workaholic? We have been out for more than a month continuously."
"I'm not tired. Are you tired?" Lu Weiyi looked at Li Zhuang and Antonio.
The two shook their heads, and Ning Yuan continued to howl, "That's because their abilities are at a high level. If you don't believe me, ask Qingyue and Wu Yue, are they tired?"
Lu Weiyi really looked at the few people who had awakened their superpowers after the heavy snow and the three ordinary people in the team.
"I... I'm okay." Wu Yue was embarrassed to say that he was tired. After all, at first glance, he looked much stronger than Lu Weiyi's small body.
"Please don't do that. You sleep like a dead pig at night and have to take a cold shower to wake up early in the morning," Ning Yuan exposed with disgust.
Gu Qingyue met everyone's gaze, smiled, and said gently, "I can't bear it a little bit. I was just thinking about taking a day off tomorrow."
"Why don't you all take a break for a while? The supplies we collected this month are several times more than other teams. There are a total of twenty people in the team, which is enough to survive in a short period of time. Especially when I saw that the temperature has risen to 50 degrees, I might have health problems if I run outside like this," Zhuang Mingxu asked Lu Weiyi for his opinion.
Lu Weiyi thought about it and finally shook his head, "It's okay not to collect supplies, but we must hunt zombies, otherwise the upgrade will be too slow." There are still two people in the team who are at the critical point and waiting to be upgraded, so it is not suitable to relax.
"Hunting zombies..." Zhuang Mingxu tapped the armrest of his wheelchair, thinking.
Lu Weiyi knew that this was his usual action when thinking, so he waited silently. After a moment, Zhuang Mingxu smiled and said, "I have a way to hunt zombies."
…
With Zhuang Mingxu's method, the whole team took a rest the next day.
Although they said they slept in, it wasn't past seven o'clock. As soon as they put down their breakfast bowls, a group of people looked at Lu Weiyi excitedly.
"Which one do you want first?" There were still quite a few animals in Lu Weiyi's space that had not been dealt with. In addition to the giant mutant pig and two mutant dogs, there were also ordinary pigs and chickens that they had robbed from Li Ji and his men. They had never run out of meat, and they were looking for new supplies every day, so they had no time and did not deal with them.
"It's a mutant dog, I've never seen one before." Dean stared at Lu Weiyi curiously.
"Mutated pigs are also good. I heard they are very big." Lu Xi also joined in the fun.
"Yes, yes, how about... taking them all out?" Bai Miao said excitedly.
"Prepare everything you need first. Do I need to use hot water to burn the hair? The blood must be collected and cannot be wasted. What should I use to hold it?" Zhuang Mingxu was also curious, but he thought it through carefully. He looked around, trying to find a larger container.
"No need for a dog, just skin it. The fur can also be used to make a blanket, which is very good for keeping warm," said Li Dongsheng.
"Let's take care of the dog first and stew the dog meat in the evening," said Xiong Jie.
Lu Weiyi nodded and threw the yellow dog directly into the yard. Several people who had never seen it before turned around excitedly to look at it. Zhuang Aiyi even touched it carefully, tilted his little face up and said with a smile, "It's so furry and smooth."
"Then I made clothes for Ai Yi. Can he wear them when he's cold?" Xiong Jie asked.
Zhuang Aiyi glanced at Lu Weiyi first, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she said in a tender voice, "Okay."
Everyone asked others about the process of killing the dogs. Several of the participants could immediately perform an American blockbuster by talking and gesturing. Lu Weiyi was not interested in listening to their bragging, so he simply asked someone to get the containers and release the mutant pigs as well.
"Shall we give you the black dog as well? Zhuang Mingxu and I will go to the Green Land Community." Lu Weiyi was afraid that he would not be able to eat after seeing the slaughtering scene, so he decided to stay away from it.
"Is the black dog still alive?" Xu Sa remembered that the black dog was taken in alive.
The others immediately became alert, ready to engage in battle at any time.
"Dead." Lu Weiyi cut off the head. "But... it should still move." He was not sure, after all, it was his first time collecting a living creature.
"Let's clear out a bigger place and have a look." This was a very good experience. Maybe in the future, when he encounters a mutant animal that he can't defeat, he can do this.
Several people carried the mutant yellow dog and the mutant pig to a corner, freeing up a large area so that the people with low combat effectiveness could hide further away. They even surrounded them in a circle, as if they were ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
