spooky invasion

Jiang Qiao and Jiang Yue, the father and son, now play the role of brother Xia, the captain's right arm and loyal supporter.

The two of them inadvertently showed some unruly temperament, that kind of carefree and generous attitude, which made other awakened people more or less afraid.

No matter what happened to the other team members, they didn't know each other before, and they didn't have a close relationship with each other. At this time, it is unlikely that there will be an intimate group.

Therefore, after Brother Xia vented his anger, and saw the two "left and right protectors" looking like they were looking for faults at any time, most of them were convinced and shut up honestly.

There are two or three people who still feel that they can't save face, or feel that with their own abilities, this old Captain Xia should flatter and win them over. Why is this attitude?

The agent Lao Yang from the core area who spoke first quit on the spot.

"Hehe, Lao Xia, that's what you said. If it weren't for the fact that the superiors had to ask our agents in the core area to help, I really wouldn't be interested in coming here. Since you are so stubborn, Lao Xia, then don't blame my brother for not serving me. "

As Lao Yang said, he patted his buttocks and actually walked out the door.

Lao Xia didn't stop him, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he slowly swept across the audience: "Who else? If you want to leave within one minute, hurry up, I won't stop you."

Don't look at these people chirping and chirping, they were screaming fiercely before, and if they had a chance to quit, most of them were not as tough as that old Yang, their buttocks seemed to be welded to the stool, and no one got up.

Lao Xia looked at his watch and smiled coldly: "There is no one left, right? It seems that they all want to stay in my team by default, so they accept my management by default. The ugly words are in the front, and the previous things will be reversed. I don't hold grudges, and I don't retaliate. But in the future, everyone will be a team and must accept unified management. If anyone loses the chain and plays tricks, we will never get used to it."

Most of the others were guilty of avoiding Old Xia Wei's powerful eyes.

Especially those agents from the periphery, mainly the old Gao, are even more guilty.

Just now he made a fuss, but he didn't less follow along to join in the fun.

At this moment, Lao Yang, who took the lead in booing, withdrew, but the rest of these people did not have the confidence.

Quit now, not to mention whether other teams will accept them or not, who knows what others think of them when they vote for other teams now?Will it be looked down upon and treated differently?

Those agents on the outskirts, where did they come from in the core area? They should have their tails between their legs.

What happened just now made them realize this even more clearly.

Of course, there were naturally some who spoke out against those who made a fuss before.For example, the middle-aged man known as Lao An.

Lao An stood firmly on Lao Xia's side, so naturally he was more confident and relaxed at this time.

The next step is to assign residences, assign tasks, including some discipline of the team and so on.

The point should not be vague.

The area where they are stationed now is the junction of the core area and the peripheral area, and part of it is in the core area.

Therefore, the rules are naturally much stricter than outside.

"The core area, each team's defense area is strictly divided. If everyone is fine, it is best not to wander around. The more the core area is, the more you don't want to intrude. If I am troubled by people's interrogation, I will be treated as an undercover agent. Killed, but no one will complain for you, and death is in vain."

"There is one more thing, the action must follow the command. Once you hear the assembly whistle, you must not procrastinate. If you delay the team's action, you will decide the consequences yourself."

One by one, Lao Xia talked about the rules tirelessly.

When it comes to business, no one dares to be negligent, and everyone listens carefully and remembers it firmly.This is a matter of future survival.

"One last thing, the human camp has been very active recently, and the momentum of counterattack is very fierce. Everyone must keep up their spirits, and don't miss the important event of Lord Shuzu."

"As for everyone's welfare, you don't need to mention it. As the captain, I will naturally do my best for everyone's welfare. After all, this is also related to my personal treatment. But we all know the rules here. High welfare means high welfare. Give. Only high pay can lead to high returns.”

"Captain Xia, we'll follow you. From now on, it's up to Captain Xia whether you should eat meat or drink soup."

"Anyway, my 100 catties will be handed over to Team Xia. Team Xia told me to go east, but I will never go west. Team Xia asked me to catch cats, but I will never chase dogs."

"Me too."

Now that Lao Xia has taken control of the team, the nasty flattery is naturally inevitable.

To build a good relationship with the captain, even if you don't want special care, it's good not to be put on small shoes at critical times.

Jiang Qiao and Jiang Yue's father and son naturally received preferential treatment, and the arranged accommodation was undoubtedly the best.

And it belongs to a relatively remote corner, which is also some care that Lao Xia can give them.

It can be seen that this old Xia is from Linglong.It is impossible for him to fight against the strange tree on the open face, but within the scope of his authority, he will try his best to give Jiang Yue and the others special care.

Anyway, it's quite a bit of a two-pronged approach.

But Jiang Qiao and Jiang Yue didn't demand too much from Lao Xia. They also knew that it was impossible and unrealistic to ask Lao Xia to blatantly betray the Tree of Strangeness.

Lao Xia is nothing more than to survive, and if he is to openly confront the strange tree, it means a dead end.

It's death anyway, and Lao Xia will definitely not give in.

In this way, being a fool, at least for the time being, there is no danger to life.

After arranging the accommodation for Jiang Qiao and Jiang Yue, Lao Xia came here to find them, which seemed to be a way of asking for credit.

Moreover, Lao Xia actually carried a bottle of wine and two packs of cigarettes.

It's just that this wine is just an ordinary bottled wine. In the sunny era, it cost only a hundred dollars, and the grade was not high.

"Xiao Zhang, isn't this place nice? It's separated from other people, it's more hidden, and your activity area is relatively private. Don't worry about being watched when you go in and out."

How could Jiang Yue not know what Lao Xia meant, he laughed and said, "You really have a heart."

Lao Xia smiled, and said flatteringly: "As long as I can do it, I must be unambiguous. Our place is poor and there are not many resources. Don't feel shabby about this little tobacco and alcohol. Speaking of it, I am really special." I'm a bit envious of Lao Gao, back then in a big city like Yuncheng, there must have been a lot of money. Unlike here, there are just a few small market towns. All resources are scarce."

Jiang Yue smiled and glanced at the cigarettes and alcohol on the table, with a meaningful smile on his lips.

Lao Xia was a little uncertain: "Brother Zhang, you don't suspect that I have tampered with tobacco and alcohol?"

"I'm not worried about this, but I think it's better to avoid alcohol and tobacco. You are the captain, and it's only appropriate for us to flatter you. If you give us alcohol and cigarettes, what's the matter? If someone finds out later, you should be suspicious." You have the authority of the captain."

Lao Xia smiled awkwardly: "How can others know?"

"Okay, I don't lack alcohol and tobacco." While speaking, Jiang Yue appeared on the table as if by magic.

After another flash, two bottles of Wuliang Liquid came out again.

Lao Xia stared blankly, thinking he was delusional.Blinking his eyes several times, he fixed his eyes on the table, and it was true that he was not dazzled.

"This..." Lao Xia became a little restless, "Brother Xiao Zhang, I can't tell, you are very rich. It's me, Meng Lang. It turns out that Brother Xiao Zhang really doesn't like my things."

Compared with the quality of Jiang Yue's alcohol and tobacco, Lao Xia's bottle of wine and two packs of cigarettes are indeed shabby.

"Captain Xia, from what you said, isn't the tobacco and alcohol all yours?" Jiang Yue looked surprised.

Lao Xia was taken aback for a moment, then understood something, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhang, how can you be ashamed of this? We don't get rewarded for nothing."

"This skill, as long as you have the heart, there will always be. Didn't you say that you have a college classmate, a brother in the same dormitory! Didn't you say that you often drink together?"

Lao Xia looked at the cigarettes and alcohol very hotly, but when he heard Jiang Yue's words, he couldn't help showing a bitter face.

Sure enough, this thing is really a bit hot, not so easy to handle.

But Lao Xia couldn't look away from the tobacco and alcohol in his eyes no matter what.

In the sunny era, this thing is not considered a luxury.However, with Lao Xia's income, it is obvious that he rarely consumes this level of tobacco and alcohol.

And entering the weird era, the high-end tobacco and alcohol in the sunny era have undoubtedly become the luxury goods of this era.

After all, this kind of consumables in the weird era basically belonged to the less used, and it was difficult to regenerate.

It can even be said that every part consumed may be out of print and will not be available again.

In the core area, tobacco and alcohol itself are excellent hard currency and the best lubricant for socializing.

Even for those top agents, their resources in this area also don't mean that they can have as much as they want, and they can get what they want.

Take his buddy from the boy's dormitory in the past as an example, now he is a top agent, just this one thing, two bottles of Wuliangye are definitely expensive luxury goods.

Lao Xia couldn't help but become a little more active.

Jiang Yue obviously understood Lao Xia's thoughts: "Captain Xia, treat these as snacks. If things are done well, there will be a big meal later."

Things are indeed good things, Lao Xia would be lying if he said he was not moved.

"Brother Zhang, you are embarrassing me."

"Captain Xia, why are you embarrassed?" Jiang Yue asked with a half-smile.

"To be honest, I really want to know what your motivation is, brother Zhang. I guess you can't tell me. But I don't know why I take your stuff and serve as an undercover agent for you. These are all fine. The problem is, I This is tantamount to digging a hole for myself, and sooner or later I have to bury myself in it?"

"Isn't that a bit harsh?"

"It's not serious at all. Brother Xiao Zhang, you must fight against Master Shu Zu, and even come to destroy Master Shu Zu. If that day comes, I, the lackey of Master Shu Zu, will have to be eliminated by you Even though I don’t want to admit it, the fate of our agent and Mr. Shu Zu are both prosperous and mutually exclusive.”

Jiang Yue smiled faintly: "But as far as I know, the agent of the strange tree is not completely inseparable. If the strange tree really hangs up, the mark it planted in your body will naturally dissipate. "

"It's not necessarily true, is it? No one can guarantee this. After all, no one has proved it. Besides, even if it's like what you said, I'm a fool, and you will cross the river and tear down the bridge in the end, right?"

"Captain Xia, I can't guarantee anything else. If you can really serve the human camp and bring down the strange tree, not only will you not be destroyed, but I also guarantee that you will be rewarded."

"What reward? I don't believe in such empty promises."

Jiang Yue said indifferently: "No matter what the reward is, I don't think you are doing very well here. It is nothing more than being a thug for the strange tree, and you may lose your life at any time. If your agent has this benefit, What are you planning?"

"Hehe, what are you trying to figure out?" Lao Xia's face was full of sighs and self-mockery, "Brother Zhang, I don't know your real identity, maybe you are born with a good background, or you are very talented. You must not know us How difficult it is for ordinary survivors. Every time they find a bite to eat, it’s like going through a catastrophe. They are all fighting with their lives. At least here, we have stable food and drink. And Master Shu Zu also promised that when the great cause is completed Afterwards, we can become true Inner Earth beings, endowed with life forms beyond human beings."

"Do you believe this kind of promise?" Jiang Yue asked back.

Lao Xia smiled bitterly: "Believe it or not, we have no other better choice. Therefore, we can only choose to believe."

Jiang Qiao couldn't listen anymore, and said angrily: "It's just stupid. The ambition of the Earth Core Race is to destroy human beings and regain control of the surface world. But all human blood is a thorn in their side and their biggest threat .On the day when the Earth Core Clan regains control, you will end up dead, and there will never be any other possibility.”

The truth is cruel, and it hurts to hear.

Old Xia Moran, he wanted to justify a few words, but any words that came to his lips seemed to be powerless.

Moreover, he can't justify himself now.Could it be that the other party thinks that he is a die-hard loyalist of Master Shu Zu, so that he loses information about him and kills him?

Lao Xia was not that stupid.

Jiang Yue smiled slightly: "Captain Xia, otherwise, let's make an agreement. I don't need you to openly help me deal with the strange tree. Let's treat it as a business, and there is no third party to know about the business except us. You Responsible for helping us collect information and provide us with as much convenience as possible. I will pay you. Whether it is tobacco, alcohol, food, or other necessities, I can fully supply them. If one day, after the event is completed, Your contribution will be recorded for you one by one, and it will be regarded as your atonement."

Lao Xia had a bitter expression on his face: "I said that you must not only be here to save people, but your ultimate goal must be to come to Lord Shuzu. Hey, can I really jump off the boat?"

Jiang Yue said lightly: "Of course you can jump, but you will definitely drown in minutes."

Lao Xia heard the coldness in Jiang Yue's tone, and his heart trembled, knowing that this man was not joking with him, and that he might really send him on the road at any time.

"It seems that I really have no other choice. Since this is the case, I will do it. I hope Brother Zhang will not forget his promise."
