Chapter 40 Chapter 40 "Someone broke the rules."...
Because the way back was a bit long, Ye Mian took the opportunity to get to know the three new employees who were in the same car with them.
The older woman is 42 years old this year. She was one of the assistant cooks in the previous canteen. Because she was not used to being called by her full name, she just continued to use the name that everyone used to call her, "Sister Cao".
Another thin girl in her twenties was named Zhou Jingshu. After graduating from university, she was introduced by a relative to work as a clerk in a factory.
The last one was a woman in her thirties who opened a shop in the largest village. Her husband died a few years ago, and her parents, parents-in-law, and children all turned into mutants, leaving her alone.
She no longer has a name. When she was younger, she was called "Mother So-and-so". When her children grew up, she was called "Mother So-and-so".
So when she was asked, she was in a daze for a while, and then she said, "Jiao Yuling, you can just call me Yuling."
Ye Mian looked at her and paused, and the information he had gained emerged again.
[Jiao Yuling (Evolver), Initial Skill: Multiple Personalities]
When choosing someone, Ye Mian valued her experience in opening a shop, and her calloused hands showed that she did everything herself and was not a boss lady who just sat there and collected money.
But at the same time, I am also curious about her skill.
"Sister Yuling, do you know what your skills are?"
"Ah?" Jiao Yuling was a little defensive subconsciously, but then she thought about how they would be together in the future, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not too sure, but it seems like I can become another person and do things that I can't do."
The two people sitting next to her had been looking at her, but after hearing this, even Lu Ning, who was driving, turned his head and looked at her, with a flash of surprise.
Ye Mian had seen the skills in advance, and now he heard an idea that was similar to his own understanding, which made him somewhat surprised.
"Like what?"
Jiao Yuling was a little embarrassed because she received so much attention: "But it's useless, just small things like cooking and doing handicrafts."
"But there is one thing that is quite special, which is that my eloquence has become very good. People will agree with whatever I say. If I could be like this before the mutation, I would probably have made a fortune."
After saying this, Jiao Yuling couldn't help but laugh at herself, hiding her subtle sadness.
This skill really doesn't have much use in today's chaotic world, unless you go to cheat other evolvers.
But it’s different on the farm.
Ye Mian had already thought about what he would ask her to do when the time came.
But it's still a bit early now, so I just need to follow along and do some chores and farm work.
After confirming Jiao Yuling's skills, Ye Mian looked at the other two people in the back seat.
Sister Cao’s skill is [Great Strength], which is completely obvious and there is no need to ask any more questions.
As for Zhou Jingshu's [Quick Memory], he will still do clerical work as before. After all, there will be more and more people on the farm in the future, and there will be more transaction accounts. It can't just be said verbally, but needs to be recorded in writing.
However, Ye Mian still asked the two of them to confirm that they knew what they could do with their skills.
After asking, Ye Mian just turned back and sat down, and he vaguely sensed something, like danger, but without that sense of urgency.
She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and look forward. When Lu Ning drove for a while and then subconsciously slowed down, the "danger" ahead revealed its true face.
They were a few evolvers. They blocked the road with two cars in the middle, and then stood in a row in front of the cars, as if they were the ones who drove this road.
"Ah..." Zhou Jingshu in the back seat exclaimed, "I just saw them in the industrial park."
She has a quick memory, so she won't make a mistake.
Ye Mian and Lu Ning looked at each other and understood in their hearts - this was not just a simple robbery, but was specifically aimed at them.
As for why they were lying in wait in front instead of chasing them from behind, it was naturally because they saw which road they drove into the industrial park from in the morning.
"You seem to be underestimated."
Hearing Ye Mian's words, Lu Ning felt a little helpless. He shook his head and unbuckled his seat belt: "Don't get out of the car."
Ye Mian hummed and didn't give any specific instructions.
The three people in the back seat didn't dare to move or make a sound.
Qi Shu and others in the car behind were also very conscious. Seeing that Lu Ning was the only one getting off the car and did not signal to the back for help, they stayed quietly and did not dare to act rashly.
Lu Ning did not show his weapon, nor did he intend to listen to what those men said. He just showed his fist as he stepped forward and knocked down one man first.
The other few people immediately became furious and used their skills to attack.
But only Secretary Zhou Jing remembered them. It was not without reason that Ye Mian had no impression of them - their skills and combat power were not enough to participate in the battle with the advanced mutant.
Even if they attacked together, for Lu Ning it was just the difference between throwing one punch and throwing a few more punches.
Lu Ning even reduced his strength by 50% and let them stand for a while longer as if he was practicing with them.
"Wow, that's amazing." Zhou Jingshu couldn't help but lean on the back of the driver's seat, watching intently.
Jiao Yuling and Sister Cao also saw it clearly. After looking at each other, they both felt relieved.
However, just when Lu Ning had dealt with those people and grabbed their collars to ask them to move the car, a somewhat harsh brake sound came from behind.
Ye Mian glanced at the rearview mirror outside the car window. Before she could decide whether to get out of the car, the people who had arrived were already striding towards her.
"Knock knock"
Ye Mian rolled down the car window and looked outside at the man who was slightly bending down to look at her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you and caused you trouble."
"It's okay," Ye Mian shook her head. Just as she was about to signal him, she saw him consciously step back a little. She pushed the door and got out of the car. "It's easy to do this when you have too many people under you."
Wen Yuan lowered his eyes slightly to think for a moment, and when he raised his eyes again, he made a decision: "Next time we trade, I will have someone bring you three extra pieces of rhenium crystal."
She had just explained to him the difference between the two kinds of stones, and he directly wanted to give her three thousand points?
Ye Mian paused as he closed the door: "That's really something that I can't refuse."
This was considered as acceptance, and it also meant that the matter could be written off.
Wen Yuan nodded to Ye Mian: "Thank you for your understanding."
Then, he turned to look at the evolvers who had been controlled, and a flash of indifference passed through his eyes.
They came quickly and left quickly. After helping to move the car blocking the road away, they got on the car behind and turned back.
The whole thing took less than ten minutes from the beginning to the end. When Lu Ning got back on the road, he was still a little bit incredulous: "Is this a show?"
It is indeed a bit suspicious that in such a short period of time, several people were missing from a team of nearly hundreds of people and they were quickly chased after.
However, Ye Mian gave up the idea when he thought of the three rhenium crystals: "He paid 3,000 points as compensation. If this is really a show, I would like to have more performances."
"?" Lu Ning subconsciously exchanged it for the number of seeds, and then immediately felt relieved, "It's okay then."
Ye Mian smiled and lay down comfortably on the seat: "Go home!"
Hearing this, Lu Ning also started laughing, and his whole body relaxed.
The three people in the back seat were infected by their emotions and were also looking forward to their new home.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the industrial park became a bit solemn.
It was almost dark, and they hadn't finished all the cleaning work, nor had they made arrangements for the night. However, they were gathered together by the whistle, and were counting the number of people as if something big had happened again.
The survivors who were rescued today are also being registered and questioned one by one, seriously and cautiously.
After Xie Yi confirmed the situation of everyone on his side, he found a familiar face and approached him.
"Miss Xu, what happened?"
Xu Ziyue said calmly: "Someone broke the rules."
"Ah?" Xie Yi was shocked. "Who? How did you violate it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of cars came closer and closer. Not only them, but also the others who had gathered together turned their heads to look.
When they saw that it was Wen Yuan who got off the car, and that several people behind him were being escorted off the car, everyone was shocked.
"what happened?"
"How come those people were brought back from outside?"
"Did he run away?"
"Are you sick? Wouldn't it be more dangerous to go out?"
Soon, everyone knew what those people had done.
After they were led to stand in the middle of the crowd, the person who had read the team rules to them when everyone else joined the team stood up again.
"Yang Hong, Peng Ye, Feng Shanming, Zhang Lei, and Wu Zhifan violated three rules in total this time."
"One, leaving the team without permission."
"Second, steal the team's supplies."
"Three, trying to harm other evolvers."
"Among them, Yang Hong and Peng Ye were the main culprits, and the other three were accomplices."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. There were only a few rules in the team, and they actually violated three of them at once?
Moreover, the last one has been repeatedly emphasized as something that must not be done.
As for who the evolved beings were that they were trying to harm, some people had more or less guessed a little.
After all, all the evolvers nearby were gathered together, and only the group that just left were considered other evolvers.
Xie Yi also reacted: "It's Ye Mian and the others."
Xu Ziyue hummed: "But since Brother Yuan was able to come back so quickly, I believe nothing serious has happened."
"That's good," Xie Yi said, and couldn't help but look at the people in the middle with some condemnation, "At this time, you still want to harm your own kind, you are simply not human."
But the next moment, his face turned pale, almost incredulous: "This, this is not necessary."
Xu Ziyue put down the hands that had covered her ears in advance and said coldly: "They should be thankful that only the two main culprits need to be severely punished."
"..." Xie Yi looked at Wen Yuan, who seemed to have become a different person, and then looked at Xu Ziyue, "Aren't you afraid that others will be dissatisfied and leave?"
"You can leave if you want to. Just like there is no shortage of mutants in this world, there is no shortage of evolvers either."
Xu Ziyue raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "If you want to leave too, you don't have to run away, just say it."
Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at the others who were also frightened, but only a few became agitated while most of them remained silent.
Aren’t they afraid?
Of course I am afraid.
But after today's battle, they learned that in addition to the large number of mutants, there will also be higher-level and more powerful ones. If they rely on themselves alone, even dozens or hundreds of people together may not be able to defeat them.
Wen Yuan's entire team is the real core.
Without this group of people, can they really protect themselves and get enough supplies to survive?
Xie Yi's breathing slowly returned to normal, and he already had the answer in his mind - no.
