Chapter 101: Chapter 73: Great Sound Is Rare, Mother Source Annihilated! (Part 2) "Don’t worry, I won’t drag you down, and I’ve prepared protective gear and weapons."
"Where are they?"
Cheng Ye reached out and set the person down, suddenly realizing his strength had surpassed that of ordinary people.
It wasn’t just strength and skill; even his courage and temperament had transformed.
Even he hadn’t noticed that when facing danger, he had become so calm.
"I’ll go get it!"
Huang Sheng’s room was just four single rooms away from him.
Rushing in took just a moment, and he brought out a set of acrylic protective gear.
As for the helmet, it wasn’t like his kind of protective helmet but a football helmet, enough to prevent contact with the infected.
"What about you guys?"
Cheng Ye nodded slightly and looked at the other two.
The two middle-aged men instantly realized, turned to their room gleefully, and quickly brought out their own simple equipment.
"13 years ago that time, I was tricked into selling two months of bad medicine, and I still regret it. Had I dared to act out then, I’d have been in management by now!"
The other person quickly agreed, "We only have handguns. If you don’t mind, the three of us can help guard, and you can decide on the contribution points afterward."
This.
Cheng Ye fell silent for a moment.
The people from Happiness City seemed to have problematic mental states.
However, he suddenly thought of Elder Song’s words that leaders only emerge with followers, forming combative strength.
If he weren’t here, these three would likely struggle to muster the courage to step outside their apartments, let alone fight the infected.
But with him leading, the three gained boldness and dared to rush out.
Seeing him silent.
Huang Sheng and the others became somewhat nervous, their high spirits diminishing.
Yet they didn’t interrupt Cheng Ye’s thoughts, standing quietly in place, waiting.
"How did you get through 13 years ago?"
"Me?" Huang Sheng gave a bitter smile, "I was part of the Pioneer Corps, transporting goods to aid the construction of Red Leaf Bay’s port, barely avoiding the Nightmare Leech."
"Zhu Xiang."
The other person spoke up, "I was selling medicine, uh, that Sleep Spirit. At the time, the health office tricked me, saying I was contributing to the Buffer Zone. I sold for free for two months and ended up being treated like a drug dealer, isolated for a month and a half, getting beaten daily."
This misfortune made Cheng Ye click his tongue.
"Wu Zhihong." The last one spoke, "I was part of the Rehabilitation faction, fighting those secretly spreading Nightmare Leeches. Unfortunately, those people escaped too fast, didn’t kill a single one. Regretted it for years."
"You don’t have family?"
Cheng Ye asked again, the three simultaneously shook their heads, faces showing complex expressions, each hiding stories.
"Alright, to follow me out, you must fully obey orders."
"No problem, as long as you don’t send us to die, we’ll do whatever you say."
Not sure why they trusted Cheng Ye so much, perhaps it was this young man’s arrival that brought new energy to the stagnant electronic factory community?
Anyway, previously, there wasn’t anyone in this building capable of blowing off heads, throwing people out the window.
Huang Sheng seemed excited.
"You should form a squad; with squad monitoring, we won’t break any rules."
"Okay."
Cheng Ye took out a badge from his pocket, swiped on the Defense Communication device; the squad module was somewhat like WeChat’s face-to-face group function.
After choosing to create, the interface displayed a string of identification codes, others could enter to join.
"Identification code...175107."
The three immediately took out their Defense Communication devices.
This was their first time doing this, Wu Zhihong and Zhu Xiang pressing the screen several times, couldn’t find the joining entry. Huang Sheng, noticing quickly entered the code, and hurried to guide the others:
"Hey, right here, click here..."
"Okay, entered, the one showing Inspector in the title, that’s... that’s..."
He was guiding verbally, when Huang Sheng suddenly paused.
Wu Zhihong and Zhu Xiang didn’t react at first, but after entering the identification code, the Inspected title brightly displayed, they froze too.
The three stiffened in place.
They glanced at their Defense Communication devices, then at Cheng Ye, faces showing confusion and surprise.
"Are you... an Inspector?"
