Fourth day of work.
The supervisor announced that in three days, the results of each person's work over the past seven days would be tallied, and the three people who collected the most slime would be promoted to purification workers.
As of today, the three top performers are Qiangzi, Hongmao, and Zhao Yu.
Qiangzi and Hongmao are the two leaders of the bandit group.
The morning the news was released was uneventful. In the afternoon, the robbery gang raided the same group the thieves were with again.
The dozen or so breeding rooms were chaotically divided into several small groups, and theft and robbery occurred frequently. The winter seedling destroyer was so frightened that he was in a daze all day.
For some reason, the bandit group seems to have absorbed another group, increasing their numbers to thirteen.
Zhao Yu cautiously observed the movements of the robber group. He had already used his silver tongue to negotiate with the two groups next to him, promising that if he were robbed, they would immediately band together to rescue him.
While Zhao Yu was collecting the slime, everything suddenly went black, and the thirteen bandits opened the fence and barged in.
"Hand over the slime, or we'll have to take action." The tattooed man, having won two consecutive matches, was exceptionally arrogant. He pointed at Zhao Yu, "Especially you, third place, right?"
Qian Rui crossed his arms and watched the show with a cold smile.
Zhao Yu's throat bobbed, and he retreated to a corner of the fence, shouting to the two groups behind him, "Come save me!"
As he shouted, the two groups behind him seemed to be pulled by threads, and sure enough, they jumped over the fence and confronted the bandit group.
With the two groups plus Zhao Yu, there are thirteen people in total, so they are not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
The tattooed man realized that Zhao Yu had a significant influence on both groups and didn't want to confront them directly. Instead, he pointed at Lu Lei and the others: "I'll let you go. You and they aren't in cahoots, are you?"
Zhao Yu glanced at Qian Rui lightly and shook his head.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, I'll start with you." The tattooed man pointed at Qian Rui.
"Take it." Qian Rui pushed the only bottle of slime forward, shook his clothes, and lifted the hem to indicate that he only had this one bottle and there was nowhere to hide it.
Dong Huimiao cursed inwardly, "Damn robbers, stealing your father's eggs! Damn Zhao Yu, cowardly bastard! Damn Qian Rui, what a big shot you are! Damn Li Feng and Li Rong, two big idiots! Damn Xia Chuhe, it was your jinx that brought this group of people here!"
Despite his cursing, Dong Huimiao still turned to Xia Chuhe, Li Feng, and Li Rong for help. Seeing that the three of them didn't react, Dong Huimiao shouted outside the breeding room, "Are you just going to stand by and watch? Today you're robbing us, tomorrow you'll be robbing us! Anyone who doesn't want to be robbed, come and help us out! Let's all help each other!"
People outside didn't react much, at most glancing curiously at the direction where the winter-damaged seedlings were.
Most people are like this; unless the knife falls on their own head, they just watch the show.
"Give it to me!" Qiangzi smiled contemptuously and reached out to Dong Huimiao.
Seeing that Xia Chuhe had no intention of helping, Dong Huimiao and Li Feng and Li Rong huddled together, looking completely unperturbed. She made up her mind and rushed to Li Rong's side.
Unfortunately, she missed her target and was blocked by something, which bounced back hard, causing her to fall hard on her bottom.
As Dong Huimiao approached Li Feng and Li Rong, he clearly heard several strange tunes.
"If you don't have any sense, then don't blame me for being impolite." Seeing that no one in the breeding room would voluntarily hand over the mucus, Qiangzi raised his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, and charged straight at Li Feng and Li Rong.
The fist flew halfway, only to be met with the same fate as the winter-damaged seedlings, the rebound so strong that it made Qiangzi's wrist go numb.
Having missed his first attack, Qiangzi turned his greedy gaze to the winter-damaged seedlings on the ground.
Dong Huimiao clutched her combat pack, knowing that only Xia Chuhe could save her. She looked up into Xia Chuhe's eyes, her lips moving silently as she mouthed the words "Please."
Lu Lei, who had finally received the distress signal, stiffly forced a smile, holding two bottles of mucus in each hand: "Big brother, she has nothing to steal, come and steal mine."
Her flippant attitude was like teasing a kitten or puppy.
Qiangzi immediately got angry and called to the bandits, "Everyone, use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve! Ten or so people can't outmaneuver two or three people, we're doomed!"
As he spoke, he took the initiative, bracing himself against the railing that was trapping the insect baby as he lunged forward.
This lunge sent him straight into the sea of fire.
The bars that trapped the insect baby burst into flames. The insect baby screamed and writhed wildly as it was scorched by the flames. Its violent struggle caused the bars, which had been brittle from the heat, to crack completely.
The insect, its skin burning, was freed amidst its suffering.
The insect swung its tail violently, flinging Qiangzi overhead towards the outer fence. The force was so great that Qiangzi smashed through several fences and finally came to a stop after penetrating three breeding rooms.
Faced with the berserk insect, everyone scattered, and the bandits lost their desire to rob.
Apart from Li Feng and Li Rong, who were in meditation, everyone else ran out of the breeding room.
Because of this incident, the supervisor rushed into the factory in advance, directed everyone to leave, operated the factory's internal equipment to release water and extinguish the fire, and called for patrol soldiers to provide support.
It took a long time to finally put out the fire.
The supervisor knelt before the injured insect, tenderly touching and examining it for a long time before allowing the patrolling soldiers to take it away. Then, the breeding room was rebuilt, and a new insect was brought in.
After giving his instructions, the supervisor stared at Lu Lei and the others with a gloomy expression: "Everyone in your breeding room, today's Bru will be deducted, and five bottles of slime will be deducted from your performance evaluation."
“We didn’t set the fire, and it was those robbers who started it…” Upon hearing that Bru was to be detained, Li Feng finally couldn’t sit still any longer.
"I don't care who did it, or which group was responsible, that group will be held accountable," the supervisor said sternly.
Xia Chuhe scratched his head, realizing that his lack of consideration had affected his performance.
But it's not a big problem.
Since she was going to be detained, she simply lied and said that she hadn't collected any slime that day, as it had all been taken away.
It's fair not to give Blue or hand over the slime.
Li Feng and others in the same breeding room immediately followed suit.
...
As soon as the supervisor and the patrolmen left, Hongmao and his gang of bandits rushed to help Qiangzi.
Qiangzi didn't react. Hongmao shook Qiangzi, his lips twitched in the shadows, and he looked up with a sorrowful expression: "Brother Qiang, he's gone."
Hongmao's hand, which was supporting Qiangzi, quietly slipped a dagger from his sleeve and silently pierced Qiangzi's heart, twisting it forcefully.
"Hey, let's divide up the slime and blue." Hongmao withdrew his hand, took the combat pack from Qiangzi's waist, and divided up the slime and blue one by one.
