Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingguo's expression did not turn sour; instead, he seemed relieved and relaxed.
Zhao Jingguo hurriedly reached out and pressed down the gun barrels his men had raised, and whispered, "Don't move! Do you know who's on the other side? That's my brother Ye Li!"
"Ye Li?"
Upon hearing the name, everyone paused slightly, their faces showing surprise. But then, as if suddenly realizing something, they quickly put down their guns.
Many people craned their necks, trying to see Ye Li's face through the pile of abandoned vehicles, but unfortunately, the space was only so big, and not everyone could see him.
Some people looked at Zhao Jingguo with admiration.
They heard it clearly: Zhao Jingguo, their captain, personally addressed Ye Li as "brother."
Who else would dare to call me that?
"Our captain really didn't lie to everyone. Ye Li is truly his brother."
"As expected, Ye Shen is the biggest behind-the-scenes boss of the Ankun United Racing Team."
"It's so touching! With Ye Shen personally overseeing things here, who would dare to easily provoke our Ankun United Team in the future? Our Ankun United Team can completely dominate the region."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Will Ye Shen be with us tonight? If Ye Shen is with us, we won't have to worry about those nasty bugs attacking us anymore!"

The survivors following behind Zhao Jingguo whispered amongst themselves, their voices not loud, but loud enough to be heard clearly.
Zhao Jingguo did not stop it.

Only by making them think more intimately and in more complex ways will his position in the hearts of the people become more secure.
The survivors following him now are no longer the clueless newbies he led when he first set foot on the highway.
Having survived countless life-and-death trials, everyone who has lived to this day is a seasoned veteran with extensive experience.
Who knows how many tricks they're hiding behind the scenes.
However, Zhao Jingguo's current strength is not enough to truly subdue them and keep them closely by his side.
Therefore, the close relationship between Ankun United Racing Team and Ye Li, which was suddenly exposed in the chat channel, became his most important trump card.
After all, in a world full of crises and competition, who wouldn't want their team leader to be the best in the region?
Zhao Jingguo's ability to become sworn brothers with Ye Li also elevates his standing among the powerful survivors.
At that time, even if those troublemakers in the team want to challenge his position, they will have to think twice about his relationship with Ye Li.
Zhao Jingguo walked up to the wrecked vehicle, looked at Ye Li who was picking up a car core from the ground, and deliberately raised his voice to ask, "Brother Ye Li, did you cause the explosion this afternoon?"
"no!"
Ye Li shook his head slightly and said casually.
Meanwhile, Ye Li continued collecting other unclaimed vehicles: "Hey, Lao Zhao, if you're free, have your people collect these scrap metals, car cores, and legendary quality resources for me. You can keep the rest."
