After Lianyi and his group returned to Shanshui Huating Community, they gathered at Yuan Chongming's house to discuss Captain Song's invitation to recruit them.
"Captain Yuan, my wife and I are here to ensure your health. We don't know anything else. We will follow your arrangements."
Liu Zili is very self-aware. Captain Song definitely did not invite them to join because of him and his wife, but because he was impressed by the skills of these young people. Special measures must be used in special times. They understand this principle, and the people above know it even better.
"Okay, Doctor Liu, you and Aunt Xu go about your business first. We'll let you know when we've made our decision. It's up to you whether you want to stay or not. We won't force you."
Yuan Chongming nodded and said.
"Okay, then my wife and I will go deal with the herbs. The good stuff has been ruined by those people."
Liu Zili was really distressed. He had only processed half of the herbs he brought back. If it weren't for the two taels of relief food today, he would not have gone out at all. So after expressing his attitude, he took his wife and went back upstairs.
The rest were all familiar friends, and everyone expressed their opinions without hiding anything:
"I think it's worth considering. After all, with a backer, we won't have to be so restrained when doing things!"
Zhao Jia was the first to speak.
If she and Lianyi hadn't intercepted Xu Shengli's two groups of people last time, Captain Song and his men's operation wouldn't have been so smooth. In the end, they only got a few medicines. It was Lianyi who was quick-witted and found the other party's warehouse first and brought them back.
"Joining the government's action team has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that no one will dare to secretly plot against us in the future. The disadvantage is that all actions must be under command, and sometimes we may even have to charge into battle."
Lianyi stroked the whirlwind and expressed his opinion.
Li Qian nodded after listening to this. They are staff members and sometimes they really have no choice but to do things even though they know they cannot do them. After all, this is their responsibility.
“I didn’t mention it before, after all, it was a peaceful time, but the continuous natural disasters in the past six months have made it impossible to guarantee even the most basic survival. The order is in chaos, and some evils have also arisen!
If we don’t have the ability, then that’s fine. But if we do have the ability, I think we can still consider contributing our own strength. Otherwise, if things go on like this for a long time, we will have no goals and live like zombies. What’s the point?
Moreover, we are not working for nothing after joining. We can earn food to support ourselves. Now food is becoming scarcer and the factory has stopped production. We don’t know how long we can last. We are preparing for a rainy day. Besides, after joining, we will be more informed.”
Although Sun Weifeng is usually careless, he is also a very principled person.
"I think Weifeng is right. Times are different now. No one knows what will happen next. It's better to make plans early."
Yuan Chongming also spoke. He always felt that this was just the beginning and he didn't know what he would face next. Only by making adequate preparations in advance could he persist longer.
Although Jiayao, who was standing by, didn't understand what the adults meant, he nodded in agreement, causing Lianyi to purse her lips and smile.
Then the four of them turned their attention to Lianyi. To be honest, it was recognized by everyone that Lianyi was the strongest among the five of them. If it weren't for the fact that she was Mingzi's neighbor and was willing to help them, they would probably be cowering in some corner right now!
"Ripple, what do you think?"
"I don't care. I've always been a lazy person. When the weather is cold, I just stay at home. But you guys are so passionate, so I'll just take it as a way to stretch my muscles. I'll let off some steam even if I'm a whirlwind."
Ripple said with a smile.
Everyone reached a consensus and then discussed what to do after joining.
"Let's talk to Captain Song. It'd be best if the five of us were in the same team. After all, we've been together for so long and have developed a tacit understanding. It's better than working with new members."
Yuan Chongming said directly.
"Mingzi is right. If we are separated and put into different teams, we won't be able to play to our greatest strengths."
Li Qian also agreed. Sun Weifeng and Zhao Jia were in the same action team with him. Even if they didn't complete a hundred or eighty tasks, they would have to complete at least twenty-three tasks. There would be no problem with their tacit understanding. Mingzi was his old comrade-in-arms and their tacit understanding remained the same. Lianyi was a lone ranger who could cooperate with anyone. When the time came, he would let her coordinate and maneuver. This combination was the most perfect.
After the discussion, everyone went back to their homes and began to pack their things. If they joined Captain Song's team, they would definitely have to change their residence. Their safety would be better guaranteed in the camp where they were stationed.
Yuan Chongming then went upstairs and told Liu Zili about their decision.
"Captain Yuan, if you still need us, we will continue to follow you. If you don't need us anymore, we will find a way on our own. Now that the government agencies are operating again, we will not starve to death."
Liu Zili thought about it and said that this was a decision he made after discussing with his wife.
"As you know, I have a nephew to take care of. Before, because we had a child, we went out to find food and asked Lianyi for help. If we go to the base, you will serve as our logistics staff, and Jiayao will be troubled by you to take care of him.
If there is no mission, I will take care of the child myself. If there is a mission, I will give you one-third of my income as a reward for taking care of the child. Are you willing?"
Yuan Chongming also observed the two men during this period. They were both relatively upright people and most importantly, had no ambitions. He felt at ease with such people.
"Yes! Of course! We will be grateful if you can take us to the military police station, even if it means we have to eat less!"
Xu Fenfang said a little excitedly.
As long as they still have value, taking care of a child is a piece of cake for her. They are neither young nor old at this age, and they have survived to this day because they are cautious and know how to make choices, otherwise they would have been buried somewhere without knowing where they are.
"Okay, then you guys prepare in the next two days. If someone comes to pick you up, come with us."
"OK."
After the matter was finalized, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease. Next, they did not rush to give Captain Song a reply, but rested at home for two days. They also ate well during these two days and adjusted their condition to the best.
Where there are people, there is the world of martial arts. People like them are recruited as exceptions. Since it is an exception, they must have the capital to do so and will inevitably be tested. Everyone is very clear about this. Except for Lianyi, who has an extremely high level of martial arts, the other four are all ready.
On the third day, Yuan Chongming went to the military and police station and met with Captain Song. He told him their decision and proposed the condition that the five of them should be in one group.
"No problem. I'm going to assign four more people to you to form a special operations team, codenamed 'Vanguard', to handle some difficult tasks."
