Chapter 437 Agree to Join
Li Yu'e had known Xia Xiaoman for so long and knew her personality. Xia Xiaoman would not have called so many of them here for no reason. Something must have happened, so she called them here to discuss.
When she heard Xia Xiaoman mention meteorite liquid, her first reaction was that there was something wrong with the meteorite liquid.
Seeing that Li Yu'e's face was getting uglier and uglier, Xia Xiaoman quickly explained: "The meteorite liquid is fine, Sister Yu'e, don't think too much. I didn't drink the meteorite liquid because something unexpected happened and I didn't buy any."
Hearing this, Li Yu'e's expression eased a little, "Then why are you asking us about the situation of taking meteorite liquid?"
Xia Xiaoman pursed her lips and said, "The meteorite liquid you took cannot completely evolve your body. The current evolution can only be considered a primary evolution."
"If you want to evolve your body to the limit, you need to join the army and become a soldier. Only when you become a soldier will the government and the military give you the remaining meteorite liquid."
Xiao Zheyu cursed when he heard this, "I knew that the authorities were such bastards, how could they sell the meteorite liquid to us without reservation!"
"In other words, if we want to continue evolving our bodies, we must sign up for the army?" Sun Qing asked.
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "If you don't want to sign up for the army, I have another way for you to go."
"What do you mean? Can you get meteorite liquid?" Li Yu'e asked.
Xia Xiaoman was silent for a while, then said, "Mayor Yu came to me this morning and asked me to form a fleet to survey the terrain. If you are willing to join my fleet, I can ask Mayor Yu for meteorite liquid."
She would ask Li Yu'e what they thought about conscription, just to find out whether they would join the army.
If Li Yu'e and the others wanted to join the army and had planned their future path, then she would not mention the fleet matter and let Li Yu'e and the others develop well in the army.
Since Li Yu'e and the others didn't really want to join the army, Xia Xiaoman told her what Yu Jie had said in the morning.
"Mayor Yu promised me that if we form a fleet, we can get a bonus of 20,000 points for each mission, and we will be provided with food, accommodation, and schooling for our children. We will be arranged to live in the eighth floor area, one apartment per floor, with four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms."
Sun Qing's eyes lit up. "One apartment per floor, four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms? Not bad!"
Li Yu'e was also a little tempted. Who doesn't want to live in a big house? Even Zhou Qiuyang, who originally wanted to sign up for the army, was tempted. This treatment was much better than being a soldier.
Xia Xiaoman said: "Don't just think about the treatment, think about the dangers of the mission."
Sun Qing works at a shipyard and knows the current progress of shipbuilding. "According to the current progress, even if the shipyard puts all its efforts into building a 20-meter-long ship, it will take at least three months to build it. By the time our fleet is ready to set off, the ozone layer of the blue planet will probably have almost dissipated."
The ozone layer is dissipating, which means that the blue planet will become more and more dangerous. The income and benefits of forming a fleet to go out on missions are indeed high, but the corresponding risks are also high.
Li Yu'e said, "It's okay. We still have a few months. Before the ship is built, we should find a way to improve our capabilities as quickly as possible and prepare for the mission."
Ye Xiaojie frowned, "Maybe not three months. At the current shipbuilding speed, it will take three months, but if we hire survivors who have evolved their bodies to build the ship, the time may be shortened by one month. In other words, we may only have two months to prepare."
Of course, if the authorities wanted to use the first ship for another purpose, they might have more time to prepare. But Ye Xiaojie thought that was unlikely.
The fleet that Yu Jie asked Xia Xiaoman to form was used to scout the terrain. Scouting the terrain was like being a pioneer. They might not be the first team to go out, but the first ship would definitely be used first by those who were scouting the terrain.
Su Ran heard their discussion and asked, "Have we decided to form a fleet now?"
Xiao Zheyu raised his chin, "Isn't this necessary? We must join the fleet formed by Sister Xiaoman! Don't you want to join the fleet?"
Su Ran glanced at him and said, "Who said I don't want to join the fleet? Since we are going to form a fleet, let's first determine the number of people so that we can assign tasks." As he said that, he looked at Xia Xiaoman.
A smile flashed in Xia Xiaoman's eyes. "First, determine the number of people and report the list to me. I will then ask Mayor Yu to print out the contract to receive the meteorite liquid."
To join her fleet, one must sign a contract to sell oneself. Otherwise, she has given away all the meteorite liquid, and the other party will leave the fleet after completing the evolution. Who can she turn to for justice then?
She was not worried about Li Yu'e and the others, but she was worried about Lingxu helping others, as well as the people brought by Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie. She was not familiar with those people, and she had to sign a contract to feel at ease.
Sun Qing said, "Then let's go back and count the number of people first, and give you the list before 12 noon tomorrow. As for other matters, we can arrange them after the number of people is confirmed?"
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help."
…
Li Yu'e and Sun Qing were both accustomed to adventure. Before entering the underground city, they formed a fleet and traveled all over the country, encountering all kinds of dangers. For them, forming a fleet was similar to forming a caravan before.
After entering the underground city, they went to work and came home on schedule every day, and their lives became comfortable, but they always felt that something was missing. Now that they heard that Xia Xiaoman was going to form a fleet, they realized that they preferred to go out for adventure rather than a comfortable life.
Li Yu'e asked Xiao Zheyu and others to help gather the members of Lingxu Gang. After more than an hour of contact, no one came except the Lingxu Gang members who lived nearby.
There were hundreds of people in the Lingxu Gang, but now there are less than a hundred people.
Li Yu'e understood that those people wanted to leave Lingxu Gang behind and live a stable life, so she did not get angry. She calmly told the Lingxu Gang members present about the formation of the fleet.
Li Yu'e did not tell anyone about the meteorite liquid. She only said that if one joined the fleet, food and accommodation would be provided, and one could earn several hundred points for each mission.
At first, some people wanted to sign up because of the high reward, but when they were reminded by others how dangerous it was to go out, they gave up. In the end, only 26 people signed up to join the fleet.
Sun Qing didn't have these worries. The people who could escape Yuancheng with her and Ye Xiaojie were all their trusted confidants. Sun Qing only asked one question, and all these people volunteered to join the fleet.
They were originally members of the Ye family fleet. Joining the fleet now is equivalent to returning to their original job. They are so happy that they can’t contain themselves!
