Chapter 197: Meeting Again
"What is the 'symbiotic barrier'?" asked the thin man.
"The barrier means that we must jointly build a high wall of defense to fight against all external threats. Symbiosis means that we are a community of life within ourselves, sharing the same destiny and we are closely related!" I explained.
"How to do it specifically?" The thin man crossed his arms, his brows still furrowed, but his tone had softened a lot.
"First, organize and divide the work, and everyone should do their best," I said clearly. "Immediately conduct a thorough census and registration of the abilities and physical conditions of all personnel in the base."
"It's not just combat capabilities, it also includes all skills such as planting, maintenance, medical treatment, nursing, education, handicrafts, management, etc."
"Then, the management committee will organize and assign tasks to ensure that everyone is in the most suitable position to contribute to the collective. Even those with weak bodies can do work within their capabilities, such as sewing, cleaning, helping with childcare, and organizing information."
"The Black Dragon Gang definitely doesn't support idlers, but they will also never easily give up on anyone who is willing to contribute to the collective."
After saying the above, everyone in the conference room began to look thoughtful, and no one responded for a while.
So I persevered and continued, "Second, planned rationing to ensure basic needs. Survival supplies will be managed according to plan, prioritizing the basic survival needs of everyone."
"On this basis, reasonable allocation adjustments will be made based on the importance of the work and the intensity of the work, with an inclination towards those with outstanding contributions, reflecting the combination of fairness and incentives."
"Third, collective review and dynamic adjustment. Establish a review panel composed of representatives from each position to regularly review each person's contribution and status and make adjustments to job assignments and allocation plans. This ensures a fair and dynamic system."
"As for those who want to join from outside," I looked at everyone, "we are cautious but open-minded. They must undergo rigorous vetting and evaluation to ensure that their values are consistent with our concept of 'symbiosis' and that their abilities can bring real benefits to the collective. We recruit comrades and partners, not simply expendable people or thugs."
“That’s my answer.”
The meeting room fell silent.
Aaron pondered, seemingly considering the feasibility of this type of organizational management. The thin man's eyes lit up, and he looked at me as if he had found a confidant.
Bai Zang looked at me with interest.
Finally, he tapped the table with his fingertips: "Just do as the Second Master says."
He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the room. His tone was filled with undeniable authority. "The 'Symbiotic Barrier' project will be activated immediately. Ji Ling, you will take the lead. Together with Xiao Chen and Scarface, you will immediately establish a preparatory team. I want to see a personnel census plan, a division of labor framework, and a preliminary rationing plan as soon as possible."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
The internal strife has been temporarily resolved, but what is more important is implementation.
After two weeks, a new order within the Black Dragon Gang began to take shape.
Although there are still some different voices, they have been drowned out by the daily work and pressure of survival.
These days, I am almost always busy coordinating all parties, handling disputes, and refining the rules.
Bai Zang, in charge of the center, used his own methods to suppress any troublemakers who dared to show up, clearing the way for me to implement my plan. A strange but highly effective tacit understanding formed between us.
The "Symbiotic Barrier" plan initially stabilized the interior of the stronghold, but the external pressure never eased.
In addition to the increasing number of doomsday refugees, various sources of pollution are the real hidden dangers.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been intentionally cleaning up those meat balls, or because the struggle between the evil gods has become more intense, but the “Sleepless Fetal Mother” seems to pay less attention to Tiannan City, and various pollution sources have begun to infiltrate Tiannan City again.
I had no choice but to start working as a "cleaner" to clean up the pollution sources near the Black Dragon Gang's stronghold.
According to patrol reports, some strange lichen-like fluorescent spots have recently appeared here.
Nowadays, this kind of low-level pollution can no longer erode my spirit.
I stood at the edge of the fog, looking at the fungus plaques clinging to the ruins, and began to clean them up using my ability to manipulate objects.
This is a delicate job that requires concentration.
Just as I was concentrating on controlling the authority, an extremely slight sound, different from the sound of wind, came from not far away.
Someone!
I instantly restrained my breath, hid myself, and turned my gaze towards the source of the sound.
I saw three figures cautiously crawling out from the gap in the pipe.
They were wearing combat uniforms that facilitated movement, and were collecting bacterial plaque samples from the ground with professional and alert movements.
This kind of style is of course what people from the Investigation Bureau do.
I jumped directly onto a glass window without any body and secretly observed them in the mirror world.
However, after seeing who it was, I was slightly stunned.
The first person was a tall and straight woman with a cold face. She wore a simple but technologically advanced mechanical Tang sword on her waist.
Following behind her was a young man with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes. He was deftly operating a portable environmental monitoring device. His brows were slightly furrowed as he whispered, "...What is this thing?"
The last person to emerge was tall and slender, wearing a windbreaker, with dark lines on his neck. He examined the sample with remarkable care and professionalism, his eyes clear and calm.
Chen Yubing and Song Nanxing! But who is the person next to him? I stared at him for a while. He looked very familiar, but I couldn’t remember him for a moment.
My heart skipped a beat. How did they find this place?
I immediately remembered what Lin Hanning had said before, that spreading the belief in "Lord of the Starry Sky" might attract the attention of "relevant departments."
And before that, I asked Xiaobai to deliver research materials to the Investigation Bureau.
Are you here to investigate these two things? Or is it just a coincidence?
Judging from their appearance, they were obviously conducting a routine investigation, trying to trace the source and nature of the pollution.
The Tiannan City Investigation Bureau no longer exists, but that doesn't mean headquarters has abandoned the area. They'll probably still send some personnel.
If it's just a routine check, that's fine. I plan to leave before they notice me.
Almost at the same time!
Chen Yubing suddenly raised her head, her cold gaze sweeping towards where I was hiding! Her hand instantly pressed on the hilt of the Tang sword, and the air around her began to flow around her.
"Who?!" Her cold voice was full of vigilance and was particularly clear in the silent ruins.
The other person and Song Nanxing also reacted instantly. They immediately put down what they were holding, spread out in battle formation, and looked over with sharp eyes.
The skin on the man's arm began to dissolve and transform into the shape of a weapon, while Song Nanxing seemed to let his arm hang down casually, but the lines spreading upwards from his neck meant that he was already accumulating strength.
Exposed.
