Chapter 119 Layoffs

Xi Ling looked at a place in the living room where he killed Xu Sheng. Although it had been cleaned up, there were still some blood stains in the gaps of the floor.

Xu Sheng's body was finally burned to ashes by him, and then buried under a big tree next to the villa. As for the man Qin Ye pushed out to take the blame, he was released. Whether he returned to the fire or changed forces was none of his business.

Yun Shuhuai looked at Xi Ling's cold face, which reminded her of his appearance in her previous life. He always looked like a stranger who didn't want to be approached, just like now.

The two children were frightened by his sudden change in temperament and dared not move.

Xi Ling recalled and then closed his eyes and opened them again, slowly getting rid of the distant aura. He leaned on the sofa and drank a sip of tea.

"Is that so? By the way, I heard from Captain Liu that Yeren is laying off employees. What's going on?" Yun Shuhuai also took a sip of tea and asked.

"It's the same thing. Xu Sheng and a few others came back early. They spread the news that I was dead in the base, and some people in Night Blade believed it. Many of them dispersed. Some ran to other forces, and some went to Jiehuo. They also took away a lot of supplies here. When we came back, this place was already in a mess. Only a few people were left here to guard it." Xi Ling smiled bitterly, "Layoffs? It's better to say that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. This is good. I don't have to check them one by one. At least the people who stay now are trustworthy."

Yun Shuhuai said, "That can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

"Yeah, if there's another Xu Sheng, I can't stand it."

Yun Shuhuai asked again: "Didn't you notice something wrong with him before?" Xi

Ling thought for a moment and said: "No, he has always behaved normally. When we went out that time, Jiehuo chose the same place as us and brought far more people than us. I thought there was a traitor but I didn't expect it to be him."

Xi Ling suddenly laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "It's ironic. I stayed with him that day just to discuss the traitor with him, but I didn't expect the traitor was right next to me. I suspected everyone but him. He really gave me a big surprise." He

was so surprised that he almost died.

"Now there are only fifteen people left in Yeren."

Yun Shuhuai looked at him in surprise. Fifteen? This is far from the 32 in the previous life. More than half of them are missing. Even the people in the previous life, Yanyu, had more than them.

She clearly remembered that when she sent Xi Ling and the injured Du Hao back to the camp, there were more than 15 people left there.

Xi Ling saw her surprise and explained, "The supplies we stored here were taken away by those who left, and not much was recovered. In order to replenish the warehouse, we often went out to look for supplies. The frequency of fighting was too high, and some people couldn't stand it and left the team on their own initiative."

"It's actually not bad to have fewer people. You used to bring such a large group of people. If you had to take care of everyone, wouldn't you get less resources? Your five-attribute superpowers should level up very quickly."

Yun Shuhuai wanted to complain a long time ago. Xi Ling's five-attribute superpowers far surpassed other superpowers at the same level. He could use five superpowers at the same time, which was good for both offense and defense. He could absorb a wider range of crystal core attributes. The five-attribute crystal cores could provide him with energy. He could level up faster than single-attribute superpowers. Yun Shuhuai was so jealous.

If he didn't bring so many cumbersome things, Xi Ling would level up even faster.

Xi Ling nodded, "Indeed, it's good like this now."

The few of them chatted for a while, and Xi Ling gave them a general introduction to some of the situations in this base.

The content was similar to Yun Shuhuai's memory in her previous life, except that she heard about an unfamiliar force from Xi Ling - Tianxiang.

Yun Shuhuai knew that there were many forces in the base in her previous life, and it was normal that she had never heard of the names of some small forces, but this force was different when it came from Xi Ling's mouth.

Xi Ling did not say any specific information, but only mentioned that the leader of this force was a woman.

Yun Shuhuai had never heard of any major force whose leader was a woman in her previous life. It seemed that this was another butterfly effect produced after rebirth.

As they were chatting, they heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Everyone looked over and saw Du Hao, with a messy head and unshaven beard, walking down the stairs in slippers. He covered his mouth and yawned as he

walked. He walked to the center of the living room in a daze and finally saw a group of strangers sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was startled and immediately woke up.

"Hi~" Yun Shuhuai smiled and greeted him.

Yun Shuhuai's face was too conspicuous. Du Hao recognized the bright and beautiful girl who greeted him at a glance. Xi Qing was also there, and there were two children who looked exactly the same sitting next to them.

It was obvious that the boss was talking to them before, but now everyone was staring at him.

Although he didn't know why they were here, Du Hao only realized that his image was too bad. He quickly held down his messy hair and ran upstairs.

"Wow! This uncle runs so fast." Ye Zixu said, looking at the corridor. Xi

Ling curled his lips: "His name is Du Hao, he is a speed-type mutant, and he is the same age as me, but he hasn't shaved..."

"Oh." Ye Zixu realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and quickly covered his mouth.

Their conversation was not disturbed by this little episode, and they continued to chat.

After a while, footsteps were heard upstairs again, and it sounded like there was more than one person.

Everyone looked over and saw two men and one woman coming down. Du Hao had changed his clothes, combed his hair, and shaved his beard. He was holding a box in his hand, and the other two were Tao Zheng and Song Linchuan, both of whom Yun Shuhuai knew.

"So it's you." Song Linchuan walked over and sat on a chair.

Yun Shuhuai nodded, "Hello, it's been a long time."

In a friendly manner, Yun Shuhuai introduced Ye Zixu and Ye Ziwan to them and told them about finding a place to live in the base in the future.

"So that's what happened. I told you guys that the boss guessed it was you after he learned from Captain Liu that they were two level five foreign girls. In order to see you, the boss has been sitting here waiting since morning...Ah! Xi Ling, you hit me on the head again!" Du Hao covered his head and ran to the corner of the wall, looking at him with a pout.

Xi Ling looked at him speechlessly and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb."

"But you can't hit someone on the head either." Ye Zixu spoke again.

"That's right, look, even kids know that you can't hit someone on the head." Du Hao seemed to have found a soulmate when he heard this. He ran to the back of Ye Zixu's sofa and protested to Xi Ling.

Ye Zixu nodded, "Yes, my grandfather said that hitting the head will make you stupid."

Du Hao's face fell.
