Xu Lin noticed that the three people she had met during the day were standing in the second row. In the first row were the old man, the woman with the child, and the pregnant woman. There were three more people standing next to them, making a total of six people.
When the tasks were finally assigned, the three people who had been on daytime were still assigned to patrol, while the other three led the able-bodied men to collect supplies.
It's obvious that the three people in the first row are the leaders' family members, the second row are their confidants, and the rest are their underlings.
After the conference ended, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin went their separate ways, one following Brother Qiang and the other following the crowd, to investigate the situation.
Half an hour later, the two met at the agreed location and shared information with each other.
"This Qiang is just a scoundrel. He got to know Gang during the apocalypse. Gang was the leader of the three people we met before. Qiang used some tricks to recruit Gang's men and then tried to get rid of the old and the young. But it's strange that there are children, the elderly and pregnant women in the first row."
Xu Lin told Zhou Pin what she had found out.
“There’s nothing strange about it. Those are his mother, women, and children. Of course he wouldn’t abandon them,” Zhou Pin told Xu Lin, based on what he had overheard.
"..." Xu Lin was speechless at this situation.
"Those three women are the younger sister, older sister, and wife of the other three in the second row. They gave all the food to Brother Qiang, and the others are also trying to send their women over there..."
As soon as Zhou Pinyi said it, Xu Lin knew what was going on. For the sake of a stutter, he sent his own woman and sisters away. The apocalypse caused thousands of years of human civilization to begin to regress.
The two then discussed what they had learned, and they really couldn't understand what special skill this Brother Qiang had that could make these people abandon their boss and follow him.
"We'll find out when we go to their place," Zhou Pin said.
The two avoided the patrolmen and arrived at Brother Qiang's place. Without even asking, it was clear that his place was the most "luxurious" one.
Even the most "luxurious" one was just a slightly larger outdoor tent, the kind that looks like a two-bedroom apartment. Compared to the tents that everyone else just casually set up with rain shelters and plastic sheets, this was indeed quite luxurious.
Taking advantage of the patrol officers changing shifts, Zhou Pin fired a listening device with a nail gun, and then the two retreated to a safe place and entered the space.
Zhou Pin finished adjusting the equipment, and then he heard voices coming from inside.
Judging from the voice, it can be inferred that Brother Qiang favored his first wife tonight.
"Qiangzi, are we just going to keep Fu Gang locked up like this? What if one day..."
"Only he knows where those supplies are, so we have to keep him. These idiots still trust me quite a bit. We just settled in today, and I'll interrogate him tomorrow. Also, how many times have I told you, don't call me Qiangzi!" The last sentence sounded like Qiangzi was a bit annoyed and embarrassed.
"I understand, Qiangzi."
Xu Lin couldn't help but laugh. With such a powerful wife, even Brother Qiang was helpless.
"You can leave now. Let Mingwei come over."
I thought this tent was for Qiang Ge and his wife, but it turns out it was for him alone. He could arrange for whomever he wanted to favor to come over.
"It's that vixen again. You're completely infatuated with her every day, not even caring that you're pregnant. No wonder she's an actress, she really knows how to seduce people..."
"Shut up!"
"What, she can do it, but I can't say anything? She used to be all innocent and pure, but now she's going to go for the mature woman route."
No wonder Xu Lin found the name Ming Wei familiar; isn't she the rising star and national goddess before the apocalypse?
