Chapter 550 Reality
We arrived at the resort at around 5 p.m.
After Jingjie and the others got off the bus, they saw this beautiful place with clear water and lush mountains and didn't want to leave.
Although it's winter now, the resort is surrounded by evergreen trees, which are lush and green all year round, making it a very comfortable place to stay.
Coming here again, my heart has calmed down.
Once inside the resort, Zhang Lin arranged rooms for us to stay in. Since I had stayed there for two days before, I knew what it was like.
So Zhang Lincai didn't interfere much. Before leaving, he just said to me, "You've lived here before, so you know the rules and situation here. Tell your people to be careful, to know where they should go and where they shouldn't go. Make sure they understand."
I said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I know what to do."
Zhang Lincai said, "That's good. In that case, I'll head back now. There are still many things to take care of in the central town. By the way, when are you going back?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until after tomorrow. I need to let them get used to this place before they leave, otherwise it wouldn't be good if some conflicts arise."
Zhang Lincai nodded, "Okay, remember to come back then."
Okay.
Zhang Lin didn't stay there for long before leaving the resort and heading back to the central town under the cover of night.
After he left, we had a simple dinner, and then I asked them to gather in my room.
The resort isn't really our place, so we need to be careful what we do here.
After entering the house, he made sure there was no one in the hallway outside before closing the door.
The room wasn't big; it just had a double bed and a toilet, that was it. It felt very crowded after everyone came in.
I said, "I think you've all seen the situation here."
"Is this our new place in the central town?" Sister Jing asked.
I said, "This is indeed the new place that Central Town has found to live. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, Central Town will basically move here to live. After all, it is very safe here, and this hotel can accommodate many people."
Lu Yun asked curiously, "So we'll be living here from now on?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know what will happen in the future, but right now, I have something to tell you about the situation here."
Fei Lichao said, "Go ahead."
I said, “I stayed here for two days before, so I know what it’s like here. This resort looks quite comfortable, but if you want to stay here, you have to help out with the work, otherwise they won’t let you stay. Also, there are three places you can’t go.”
"Which three places?" Sister Jing asked.
"One is that farmland to the west, which is a key protected area. They won't let you go there without permission. But I guess you don't want to go there either. The second place is the top three floors of this hotel, which is basically a restricted area and absolutely no one is allowed to enter."
"The last place is those villas by the lake. You can wander around outside the villas, but you absolutely cannot go inside. These villas belong to the high-rise buildings in the central town, which are essentially private property. If you trespass, you will basically be arrested, no matter who you are, understand?"
Everyone nodded, understanding what I meant.
These three places are easy to remember, so I don't need to repeat them.
“You can go to any other place except for these three.”
Sister Jing asked, "What about the work?"
I said, "You'll find out about the work tomorrow morning. They'll assign you tasks during breakfast. They'll mostly be easy jobs, and sometimes you only need to work for a morning. The rest of the time will be free."
Everyone was initially a bit reluctant when they heard about the work, but after hearing my explanation, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Here, working is equivalent to going to work; only by working can you get food.
After explaining the precautions for the resort.
Jingjie asked, "What about the central town?"
I looked at Sister Jing with a puzzled expression.
Jingjie said, "Didn't you say something would happen tomorrow night? What if the central town is really... you know what happens then?"
Jingjie was referring to the ambush by Yao Chengjie and his group.
I said, "If something really happens to the central town, it won't concern us. We can just leave. Actually, if the central town really does get destroyed, it would be good news for us, wouldn't it?"
Sister Jing said, "I'm afraid that nothing will change by then."
I said, "These things don't really concern us. We just need to survive. As for the conflicts between Central Town and other teams, let the people in Central Town worry about them."
That's the situation now. Ultimately, our strength is still too weak. In terms of numbers, strength, firearms, and other aspects, we can't compare with Central Town.
We can only survive in the cracks, and we don't yet have the ability to change anything.
So all we can do is survive; only by living can we have hope.
Nobody knows what the future holds.
...
The next morning.
I took them to have breakfast. We went to the cafeteria on the first floor. After breakfast, when we went out, the people guarding the door started assigning tasks.
I only knew Zhang Lincai because I had been there before, and they all knew I was a doctor, so they didn't offer me a job.
As for Sister Jing and the others, they were basically assigned corresponding jobs.
When Lu Yun saw that I didn't have to work, she rolled her eyes at me several times, which made me feel helpless.
But what can I do? My identity is special.
But this is good too. I don't have to work, and my movements won't be restricted. I can go and gather information about the current resort.
While we're at it, let's see if we can get in touch with the central town.
Although the resort and the town center are far apart, I think the people in the town center must have a way to contact each other.
In addition, vehicles come to the central town every day, mainly to transport supplies.
We can ask them about the situation in the central town later.
Tonight, Yao Chengjie and his men are going to launch a surprise attack on Central Town. I wonder if they will succeed.
If successful, will the central town suffer a severe blow?
"The best outcome would be success, and ideally, all the high-ranking officials in Central Town would die, leaving the entire town essentially leaderless."
The wish is beautiful, but I know it's impossible.
After all, Chen Tianqi doesn't live in the central town at all.
