Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Ye Rongxin Holds a Grudge
Su Jin shook her head. It seemed they were not the only ones affected; perhaps the last time they encountered these people, it wasnât their first time doing such things either.
Ye Rongxin also turned around, looking interestedly at the dispute on the other side, then spoke a few words to the person beside him before leaving.
The Security team members behind him quickly ran forward to mediate the situation, but since these matters were inherently hard to clarify, they could only let it go for now.
Watching the smug Baili Divine Team, Su Jin and her group felt somewhat disappointed. However, they all knew that in the times of the Apocalypse, where there was no rule of law, encountering such situations meant either getting justice through oneâs own formidable strength or simply letting it beâŠ
Inside the base administrative building, Liang Jiuhui passed by Ye Rongxinâs office and peeked inside, only to find the door was open.
âHow come you have time to be in the office today?â
...
Liang Jiuhui leaned against the doorframe and asked. Ye Rongxin generally did not come to the administrative buildingâs office; he was either patrolling with the Security team or staying in the baseâs prison.
âOfficer Liang, I came to check some information,â
Ye Rongxin, seeing it was Liang Jiuhui, quickly stood up and responded.
âWhat, have you added a new name to your little book? Who has upset you this time?â
Liang Jiuhui smiled. He had noticed Ye Rongxin flipping through the cowhide book and seemed to be pondering something when he had entered.
Indeed, Ye Rongxin was a person who held grudges.
Only a few close to Liang Jiuhui knew this; the cowhide book he always carried was not for taking notes but for keeping a list of his enemies. Although Ye Rongxin might not show much at the moment, he would surely return the favor several times over later on.
Liang Jiuhui had known Ye Rongxin for a long time, so he understood him quite well. He did not see this behavior as deceitful; Ye Rongxin was simply too clear about love and hate. He would repay those who treated him well generously, and as for those who angered him, it depended on the extent.
It was for this reason that Liang Jiuhui had appointed him as the captain of the Security team, believing that Ye Rongxin was best suited for this position in the Apocalypse.
In recent days, Ye Rongxinâs effectiveness had indeed proven that his decision was correctâthe base had become well-organized under the leadership of the Security team, significantly easing his burden as the Base Leader.
Today, Liang Jiuhui wondered who the unlucky soul targeted by him was as he glanced at his watch.
Hmm, according to his speed, he should probably find out by evening.
Indeed, that afternoon, a disciplinary notice issued by the Security team was posted at the mission center.
The Baili Divine Team ignored the base team formation rules. Utilizing a deceased teammateâs points card to register the team with fewer than eight members, the base now compulsorily disbanded their team. Furthermore, after verification from several teams, the Baili Divine Team had intentionally lured zombies towards other teams while completing missions outside the base, causing severe casualties and even attempting to snatch Crystal Cores when the teams were unpreparedâall of which led to the perpetual disqualification of several team members from forming teams.
Below, signatures from teams willing to testify were even collected.
Lin Xiuyuan looked at this disciplinary notice and couldnât help but want to applaud the Security team. The notice also posted photos and names of the Baili Divine Team members at the bottom. He had just been wandering aimlessly in Guo Yangâs shop that afternoon when he heard the news, so he hurried over to the mission center to watch the excitement. Indeed, the trip wasnât in vain.
The news erupted within the base like a pot boiling over.
How could there be such despicable people? Luring zombies to other teams, letting them fight, and then seizing Crystal Cores when their Special Abilities were depleted?
âMy goodness, a team like this deserves to be disbanded.â
The Security Team did a great job!
After seeing the disciplinary notice, Liang Jiuhui finally understood that Ye Rongxin had come to the office today to check the teamâs records. Yet, it was truly impressive how he managed to collect those witnessesâ signatures within just a few hours. Moreover, he thoroughly agreed with Ye Rongxinâs approachâit was neither extreme nor provocative, and it subtly promoted the Security Team.
It seemed that even in the Apocalypse, everyone loved to see a representative of justice. At that thought, Liang Jiuhui couldnât help but laugh again.
A vindictive Ye Rongxin? A representative of justice?
Sheng Jing, standing behind and watching Liang Jiuhui rocking back and forth in laughter in his office chair, couldnât help but silently criticize. Did he appear to be a serious Base Leader, but was actually foolish behind closed doors?
Ever since Sheng Jing discovered her Mental Element Ability, she had followed Liang Jiuhuiâs request to stay by his side, nominally as the secretary to the Base Leader. Aside from Su Jinâs family, only a few others like Liang Jiuhui knew about her Mental Element Ability.
Originally, Liang Jiuhui had planned to place Sheng Jing beside Liang Wei, especially after the Invisibility Ability User incident. However, Liang Wei had expressed strong disagreement.
âIâm home every day researching farming and agriculture; if you station someone to watch over me daily, I canât focus on my research!â Liang Wei refused.
âDad, youâre farming? Do you even know how?â
Liang Jiuqing didnât hesitate to expose Liang Weiâs novices. The Liang Family had been involved in politics for generations, and she had never heard of Liang Wei farming before.
âIâm still researching, changing careers takes time,â Liang Wei explained.
Although he had retired from the active workforce, he still wanted to contribute to the base, so he had started researching agriculture at home and would occasionally sneak out to visit the baseâs farm, all without Liang Jiuhuiâs knowledge.
âAlright, if you insist, I wonât force you. Just stay home and donât run around, alright, DadâŠâ
Liang Jiuhui spoke warmly, fully aware of Liang Weiâs secret outings. He had arranged people in secret to protect Liang Wei, who was completely oblivious to this fact.
âWhat, run around? I stay indoors all day, not even stepping foot outside the second door,â
As Liang Wei picked up the shovel from the ground and headed towards the yard, he couldnât dare to meet his sonâs gaze.
âWell, thatâs good to hear,â laughed Liang Jiuhui.
So, from then on, Sheng Jing assumed the role of the Base Leaderâs secretary.
After a few days of working together, she found Liang Jiuhui quite easy-going, even very relaxed to work with.
She planned to fulfill her duties diligently as his secretaryâafter all, she did receive a salary, and Liang Jiuhui could be considered her lifesaver. Although the scars on her face had fully healed, since the chief culprit had still not been caught, she habitually wore a veil.
The administrative staff knew that Liang Jiuhui had a mysterious new female secretary who never showed her face, silently following the Base Leader all day. Some had speculated that she might be Liang Jiuhuiâs woman, but after seeing their professional interaction and witnessing Sheng Jingâs work capabilities, that guess was seldom mentioned again.
After all, the two could work for half a day without speaking a word to each other, and Sheng Jingâs remarkable work performance and systematic reports to Liang Jiuhui made it clear that such a strong woman couldnât possibly be the kind they fantasized in their minds.
