Chapter 215 Organizing an Exploration Activity Both of them signed up
Rongzhen looked away before being noticed by the two men.
Boss Gu had already finished his opening polite remarks and finally came to the key point of his plan.
Even at this time of material shortage, he was still able to treat everyone to a meal with a few dishes and a soup.
Then this meal is definitely not for nothing.
His goal was to gather enough people and venture down to the lower floors to collect supplies before the temperature dropped too low, in order to cope with a potentially more severe disaster later.
This meal is his sincerity, which means that if there is any gain, he will definitely not treat everyone unfairly.
"How can we not treat them unfairly? How will we distribute the collected supplies?"
Those who were interested immediately asked loudly.
Boss Gu had clearly planned ahead. He calmly replied, "I'll provide the supplies, and you'll provide the manpower. We'll split the find 50-50. If anyone is injured, we'll provide medical treatment and subsidies. If anyone unfortunately passes away, we'll also provide compensation to their family."
It sounds good, but when you think about the sudden drop in temperature and the solid ice downstairs, many people hesitate after being tempted to go.
The treatment is good, but it may be very labor-intensive. Otherwise, people can just let their own people do the work, so why bother recruiting people from outside?
It sounds good to say that it's for everyone's sake, and they hope to advance and retreat together with everyone. In fact, it's because they are reluctant to sacrifice their own people and want to find more cannon fodder to explore the way for them.
However, not everyone present thought so. Some truly believed that Boss Gu put the overall situation first and that he was doing this for everyone's good, and they immediately expressed their support enthusiastically.
There are also some people who really have no way to make a living. They have no food or drink, and no warm equipment. Since Boss Gu is willing to provide supplies, why not let them accompany him? At least they can have food and clothes, and it is a sure profit.
The prerequisite is that they can come back safely, otherwise no matter how much supplies they earn, it will be in vain.
There are also many people who just follow the crowd. When they see others around them signing up, they just blindly follow suit and sign up without thinking too much.
After all, although the current temperature is below minus 30 degrees Celsius, it has happened in real life. As long as people take good warming measures, there will be no problem in such temperatures.
Rong Zhen looked at the enthusiastic registration scene at the podium and whispered to Zhu Yan, who was chewing peanuts, "Are you going?"
Zhu Yan grumbled, "Let's go join in the fun. Even though we don't need it, we still have to make an appearance."
Otherwise, when a more severe cold wave comes in the future, others will see that they are still alive and well and will definitely wonder where their survival supplies came from, which will cause more trouble.
Why not go and take a look now? Maybe you can get something back with you.
What's more, there are people leading the way, so they don't have to work hard to clear the ice.
Another thing is, don't forget that they have their own space. When they get the supplies, it is up to them to decide whether to give them out and how much to give out.
"What about you?" Zhu Yan wanted to go, but he would not make a decision for Rong Zhen.
Rongzhen: "Of course I'm going with you."
She wanted to get more supplies. The gray space was so big that she would feel anxious if it was not filled up.
"Then eat quickly and eat well so you can work better." Zhu Yan grabbed a chicken leg for her with a smile on his face. The meaning revealed in his words made it difficult for the others at the table to blame them.
After eating and drinking, the two went to register.
Yu Ruwei was so surrounded by Boss Gu's men that she was completely dizzy and had no time to pay attention to them.
Han Yilian, who had been left out, recognized them. She called someone over and secretly pointed at Rong Zhen and Zhu Yan, saying, "I remember these two had quite a bit of supplies. Normally, they wouldn't participate in such a risky activity. But in case they cause trouble down there, go check what's going on."
The person she called didn't take it seriously at first, but his eyes lit up after hearing her words.
Got a lot of supplies? Great!
But a moment later, the man came back speechlessly and reported, "They originally had quite a bit of supplies, but they've traded them for gold, silver, and jewelry. Several of our people have traded them for candy and chocolate. I'm afraid they're running out of supplies, and since they feel the disaster won't end soon, they're trying to get a free ride on the boss's behalf."
Although this behavior is very strange and makes people speechless and contemptuous, it is also normal. They are not the only two people in the building who do this.
What is abnormal is the person who takes out a large amount of supplies and insists on exchanging them for some small trinkets.
Boss Gu's men all have some real skills. While investigating Rong Zhen and Zhu Yan, they also found out about the strange behavior of Han Yilian and Yu Ruwei.
He did not reveal any signs when he was working with Han Yilian, but later reported everything he had discovered to Boss Gu.
Boss Gu swirled his red wine glass, smiling languidly, "I knew there was something fishy going on with those two. I suspected it might be a coincidence triggered by a natural disaster that triggered their own special abilities. I didn't expect they were using external objects to rob others."
The subordinate immediately suggested, "Since they can snatch it from others, why can't we? This special ability that appeared before the catastrophe is meant for those who are capable. It's a waste to let these two women have it."
Boss Gu stood up and patted him on the shoulder. "You're right. Take them both with you on this collection operation. Remember to send more people to secretly monitor them and see clearly what they have."
"What about these two people that Miss Han is concerned about?"
"They are just two short-sighted and ignorant people."
Although they thought so, people were still assigned to watch Rongzhen and Zhuyan just in case.
Both of them noticed the extra gaze in the dark at the first moment, looked at each other, and did not act rashly.
They can stare if they want, but if they find anything unusual, they lose.
When you need to use space, you can find a way to get rid of the other party. It won’t affect them at all.
Therefore, even though they discovered someone was secretly following them, neither of them showed any signs of abnormality and took the rations for the mission with a calm expression.
There are windbreakers, warm jackets, energy cereal bars and mineral water, as well as a large bag for supplies.
After receiving the food, Zhu Yan tore open the energy bar and took a bite. His expression froze for a moment. After swallowing it with difficulty, he spat out two words: "Disgusting!"
"In this kind of horrible weather, it's good enough to have something to eat. Why are you being so picky?" The person who was waiting in line behind him and also received supplies condemned him.
Rongzhen had already torn open the energy bar and tasted it, and replied with a smile: "Indeed, it tastes quite good. You should try it too."
Zhu Yan silently offered his own portion.
If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard.
The man took it with joy, stuffed it into his mouth ravenously, and then fell to the ground with his hands strangled.
I was choked. It felt like there was a mixture of sawdust and cotton in my throat. I couldn't swallow it or spit it out. It was very prickly in my throat and didn't feel like something human could eat.
If Rongzhen were asked to comment, she would think it was a bit like the wheat bran and cornmeal that farmers feed their chickens and ducks when they raise them freely.
It's pure coarse grains, and the taste is really not good.
The things that Boss Gu gave them were probably healthy foods that he collected from somewhere. They were specially designed for people who want to lose weight. They could satisfy hunger, make people feel full, and were nutritious, but they tasted terrible.
Didn’t you see that unlucky guy choked and fell down after taking one bite?
Zhu Yan then revealed a gloating smile, opened a bottle of water from the man's supplies, and gave him a gulp of water, deliberately asking him, "Is it delicious?"
The man finally came back to life and quickly begged for mercy: "It really tastes bad. I was careless."
He thought it would be at worst like the corn on the cob snacks, but the result was really not good.
However, no matter how bad the food tasted, it was still enough to fill the stomach. None of the three people thought of giving it up, and they put it all away carefully.
As we walked out of the warm hotel lobby, the cold air outside hit us in the face, and the mineral water in the rations froze instantly, making many people want to turn around and go back.
Unfortunately, the hotel is Boss Gu's territory, and only his subordinates can stay there for a long time.
They wanted to rely on him and become one of those people, but Boss Gu looked down on them. Those who were capable were already won over by him during the meal, while those who were not capable were just there to have an ordinary meal and had to leave when they were supposed to.
Rongzhen and Zhuyan are the ones who need to leave.
The person who was secretly following them stopped working after they left. After all, it was so cold outside that he couldn't stand it for too long.
The two of them slowly returned to their residence with the crowd, lit the stove, sat on the sofa, ordered some fruit after dinner, and chatted while eating.
"Do you think Boss Gu knows that you have that thing?" Rong Zhen suddenly thought of this.
Zhu Yan gnawed at a large red apple, carefully removing the seeds from it. Upon hearing this, he paused, tilted his head, and thought, "There shouldn't be any, otherwise he would definitely come to me for it."
Judging from the weapons and equipment of that group of people, they probably don't have the Light of Truth. How could the other party allow him to have it?
The other party hasn't come to find him now, probably because he doesn't know yet.
In fact, it was true. Only a few people knew that he had the light of truth. Among them, Han Yilian and Yu Ruwei did not reveal it because they thought of finding an opportunity to take it for themselves one day and not let others get it first. The other few people witnessed him splitting other people's heads open with their own eyes and were scared to say anything.
The neighbors on the same floor kept silent about the matter because they thought that having this thing would at least serve as a deterrent and would benefit everyone on their floor, but it was not certain that it would be taken away by Boss Gu.
Due to various concerns, the existence of the Light of Truth was concealed for a while, and Boss Gu didn't even know how to get it.
"It's okay to know." Zhu Yan put down the apple and took out a toy gun that looked like a real gun. "If they come to ask for it, we can use this to deal with it."
Rong Zhen pointed outside and said, "There's a corpse with its head blasted off at the door. If you want to fool them, you have to get rid of him first."
Zhu Yanmo sighed and got up to work. He ran out to get a lot of big ice cubes and put them into the kettle. He boiled a large pot of hot water and poured it on the ground outside the door. He waited until the ice melted before starting to clean up.
He dug the body out of the frost, rolled it up in a bed sheet, stuffed it into a suitcase, and carried it into the storage room at the end of the corridor.
After finishing all this, someone came to call me from Boss Gu's place. I planned to go down before dark because I was in a hurry.
We just asked them to come down just to let them get the necessary things and make preparations, not to let them eat and rest.
Rongzhen and the others didn't need to prepare anything. They didn't even change their clothes and just picked up their bags and left.
They climbed the stairs again and gathered in the hotel lobby. Boss Gu saw them walking towards him and said in a friendly manner, "I heard you have a real weapon?"
Rong Zhen cheered up when she heard that.
Sure enough, some things shouldn't be mentioned, but they come up as soon as they are mentioned.
Zhu Yan's first reaction was that the body had been cleaned up in vain, and the work had been in vain. Then he pulled out the toy gun with an "ah" sound, and said in a daze and innocently, "Real thing? Are you talking about this?"
When Boss Gu's men saw the thing, their faces changed drastically. They all wanted to pull Boss Gu back to hide. The others also dispersed when they saw it.
A large space suddenly became empty on the field.
Rongzhen and Zhu Yan stood there, as if isolated and on guard by everyone.
But the two people involved seemed unaware, like fools who were holding sharp weapons but didn't know it.
Boss Gu smiled upon seeing this and held out his hand, saying, "Can you let me see it? If you like, you can take whatever you want. I'll take the things."
Rongzhen's eyes lit up, and Zhu Yan also looked surprised.
"Really? Fine, here you go."
While the other party's men were on high alert, he passed the thing over without a second thought.
Boss Gu took it in his hand, weighed it, tried to pull the safety bolt, it worked, and then he fired a shot at the pillar.
Bang——
