Boss Hu lit a cigarette, showing no sign of discomfort on his face, as if everything that had happened during the day with William Chenghu had nothing to do with him. He slowly said, "I went out with Old Gao and Old William and took a tour around the entire gathering place. I found that there are still many people here, like Thomas Xu, fighting their own battles. Moreover, there are quite a few men in the slums who can go out and find food on their own; they just don't want to part with the five kilograms of rice they have to pay every month. I think with my previous experience and leadership skills, I should be able to rally a group of people to work with us. As long as we don't run into that unfortunate zombie tide, food and drink shouldn't be a problem!"
"Food and drink shouldn't be a problem? You're being too optimistic!" Cao Mei glanced disdainfully at Boss Hu and said, "Even Ryan and his group are facing famine; what can a cook like you do?"
"That's not how it works!" Boss Hu proudly raised his head and pointed at Gao Chuanjiang beside him, saying, "If you don't believe me, ask Old Gao. Today, I took my gun and went out for a stroll, and over a dozen men agreed to work with us. And that was after I carefully selected them. Besides, we haven't been idling around Jack for nothing; we've made significant progress in various experiences during this time. Just because the people here can't find food doesn't mean we can't!"
"Haha~ Since you say that, then let's not bother our Lord Lin anymore. I think tonight's meal can just be considered a farewell dinner, and starting tomorrow, we can each go our separate ways!" Cao Mei reached out and lit a cigarette for Jack, looking at Boss Hu with disdain.
"Alright! That works too!" Boss Hu surprisingly nodded readily, waving for Ryan Li to pour a glass of whiskey for him and Jack. He then raised his glass and said to Jack, "Man, I sincerely thank you for taking care of us during this time. I'll drink this glass first as a toast. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just say the word. I, Old Hu, will go up the knife mountain or down the oil pot without a second thought!"
"Don't say it so seriously; as long as you can lead everyone to live well, that's enough!"
Jack raised his glass and smiled. Seeing Boss Hu tilt his head back and finish his drink, he took a symbolic sip and continued, "You can take half of the food and weapons, but what you need to pay attention to is that having weapons is not the most important thing for survival in the gathering place. The key issue is how to get along and coordinate with various forces. There are more women than men here, and men have become a resource in themselves. You can't blindly recruit people to work with you. Old Hu, you have been a leader before, so you should understand that blindly pulling people in will not only bring you trouble but will also provoke dissatisfaction from other forces!"
"Well, man, I will remember what you said, and I will definitely be careful in the future." Boss Hu nodded humbly, but after putting down the wine glass, he looked around at everyone, and asked unusually proudly, "Then, now is the time for everyone to express their stance. If you are willing to follow me, Old Hu, please raise your hand. It's too late."
"Wait a minute" Jack suddenly interrupted Boss Hu. Just when everyone thought he was dissatisfied with Lao Hu's words, Jack lowered his voice and said to everyone, "There is a situation here that I must explain. If you don't follow Lao Hu, it doesn't mean you can follow me. You all know where I'm going. Except for Bai Ru, I don't want to take many people with me, unless you are determined to die with me."
"Sir...since you've made it clear, I'll just take this opportunity to express my thoughts first."
Cao Mei suddenly turned her face and looked at Jack calmly, as if she had been prepared for it. In front of everyone, she said in a self-pitying tone, "Cao Mei is a piece of trash. She always hopes but doesn't dare to hope that she can be your woman. But I have figured it out now. As long as you If you don't kill me, I will definitely follow you. Being able to be a well-behaved and obedient servant for you is my biggest wish now. As for dying with you, haha... I think you should know the answer even if I don't tell you. Cao Mei will not live just for herself forever."
"Cao Mei, don't mention things like servants anymore, let everything take its course." Jack looked at Cao Mei who was close at hand, and could easily read her sincerity from her eyes. He also knew that this woman was indeed working hard to change herself during this time. What she said now was what she said after she had carefully considered it after she calmed down from her excitement this morning. While her attitude was completely superficial, it could also strengthen the hearts of those who were hesitant. Jack smiled at her clearly and gave Cao Mei a reassuring look.
"Mr. Lin, I...I have also figured it out. No matter what happens, it's okay. You gave me my life anyway. The worst I can do is return it to you, and I will follow you shamelessly." Jiaojiao also hurriedly expressed her feelings, but After thinking about it, she suddenly blushed again and stammered to Jack, "But I think...I want to be your woman, I don't know if that's okay? I...I will never argue with Sister Ru, just...just be a mistress and I'll be satisfied."
"Ha Jiaojiao, how dare you ask to be a mistress in front of my eldest wife? Don't you think too little of me?" Bai Ru looked at Jiaojiao beside her. Although she said the words rudely, there was a narrow smile on her face.
"Sister, you... you know my little thoughts, and I will never compete with you for favor." Jiaojiao held Bai Ru's arm and shook it gently. After Bai Ru shook her head angrily, she leaned her head forward and whispered to Jack, "Master, eldest sister gave you a hard time yesterday. I will help you warm the bed tonight, right? I... I promise that I am also a virgin."
"Haha~ Xiaojiao, you can take care of me right away, you know how to warm the bed, you are a petite girl with big breasts, you can recite that obscene poem, and show your capital to our master, and I guarantee that our master will definitely let you warm the bed tonight." Cao Mei now got her wish, and she liked Jiaojiao a lot, and immediately started teasing her.
"Uh-huh..." Jack coughed in embarrassment and quickly interrupted the singing of several women. Otherwise, they would probably have discussed with Bai Ru in public the experience of losing their virginity last night. After Jack finished coughing, he quickly said to the others, "It's your turn. Tell me what you think. We are all sisters who have been through difficulties together. There is no need to be too polite."
"I'm definitely sticking with my old man Hu!" Ryan Li happily wrapped her arms around Boss Hu's, feeling a sense of pride from head to toe as her man finally stepped up to be the boss again.
"I'm following Old Gao, wherever he goes, I go!" Xiao Min also hugged Gao Chujiang's arm. After he made her brush her teeth three times last night, she reluctantly went to bed with him, and with no better options, she forced a cheerful demeanor to please Gao Chujiang.
"I... I..." William Fang looked at everyone helplessly, rubbing her large hands on her pant legs. After stammering for a long time, she looked at Boss Hu and said with a hint of flattery, "Brother Hu, can I follow you? I can wash clothes and cook, being a good servant is absolutely no problem!"
"Of course you can! We all know each other, and I won't let you starve. Starting tonight, you'll be responsible for serving us. Ryan Li, you'll take care of William Fang from now on!" Boss Hu nodded proudly, reminiscent of his past charisma that drew everyone to him, making William Fang nod and bow repeatedly, filled with gratitude!
In fact, among the eighteen people here, more than half already had clear directions without needing to ask. Each woman would definitely follow her man. Even A Xue confidently declared she would follow Michael until the end of time. However, when it came to Jiang Yan, she hesitated a bit and quietly asked Lu Liangjia, "Liang Jia, are you planning to work with Brother Hu and the others?"
"Yeah, I discussed it with Brother Guodong and we plan to work with them. What about you, Jiang Yan? Aren't you planning to come with me?" Lu Liangjia looked at Jiang Yan in surprise. Although there was nothing between them, they had been taking care of each other during this time, and there was bound to be some feelings involved.
"I..." Jiang Yan bit her lip, hesitating for a moment, but ultimately gave an unexpected answer. She clenched her fist and suddenly said to Jiao Jiao, "Sister Jiao Jiao, I want to be your servant!"
"Huh? You... don't say that!" Jiao Jiao was taken aback, looking at her in confusion. If Jiang Yan had said this to Jack, she would have found it quite normal. Although she had treated Jiang Yan like a servant before, after Jack found out she had hit Jiang Yan, Jiao Jiao had never dared to order her around again. At most, she would throw some clothes at her to wash or ask her to help carry things. But now, Jiang Yan suddenly said such a thing in front of so many people, and Jiao Jiao was starting to doubt whether she had a servant complex.
"Sister Jiao Jiao, I'm speaking from the heart!" Jiang Yan urgently wanted to express her sincerity, standing up and saying, "To be precise, I'm not just going to be a servant for you alone, but for the entire Lin family. I will serve Sister Ru, Sister Mei, and our master. You are all precious ladies, and there are some tasks you definitely can't do. Don't worry, just leave everything to me, I'll take care of it all!"
"Jiang Yan, have you gone crazy?" Lu Liangjia exclaimed in shock, pulling Jiang Yan with a worried expression. "Are you really willing to be someone's servant instead of coming with me? I can take care of you too!"
"Don't pull me!" Jiang Yan suddenly shook off Lu Liangjia's hand, looking at him with some anger. She suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Alright, since it has come to this, I might as well be straightforward with you. If you were a man, I, Jiang Yan, would definitely find a way to stay by your side. But who told you that you aren't even a man? How can I rely on you?"
"You..." Lu Liangjia suddenly turned pale and looked at Jiang Yan in shock. Her throat was "gurgling" but she couldn't utter a single word.
"Ah? No way? Is this kid a girl?" Thomas Xu looked at Lu Liangjia in astonishment. He couldn't believe that this handsome guy was a woman, but he suddenly slapped his head and said thoughtfully, "Lu Liangjia, Lu Liangjia... Damn, if you think about it the other way around, isn't she a girl from a good family? No wonder this guy never takes off his clothes in front of us, he is a woman?"
"Brother Xu, it's not what you said." Jiang Yan smiled coldly, looked at the bloodless Lu Liangjia beside her and said, "When I say he is not a man, I am not referring to his physical condition, but to his psychology, because this man is basically a homosexual. Even though he looks tall and handsome, he actually plays a minor role."
"Damn!" Even Boss Hu and Gao Chujiang were disgusted by this. They jumped up from their seats with cold expressions on their faces, touched the goosebumps on their bodies and said, "Lu Liangjia, aren't you really a homosexual?"
"You...she...she's talking nonsense." Lu Liangjia's face turned pale. Although he wanted to try to defend himself, no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to lack the confidence. He didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed. His whole body was shaking slightly as if he was shaking.
"Huh~ I'm talking nonsense? Not only are you a petty sufferer, you can't even get your thing hard, right?" Jiang Yan suddenly dropped a bombshell, causing Lu Liangjia to fall down on the chair. Her face was so gloomy that she didn't dare to look at anyone. Then she looked at Jiang Yan with a disdainful smile, pointed at him and said, "You don't deny it, do you? You, an impotent homosexual, are disgusting and dirty."
"Wait a minute, Jiang Yan, how do you know he is gay and impotent?" Thomas Xu was already squatting on the bench, asking very curiously. He was extremely excited by exposing other people's privacy, and a burning spirit of gossip was also burning in his heart.
"It's easy to know that he is impotent, because I have tried it for several days. When he is asleep, no matter how much I fiddle with him, there is no reaction at all. There is no sign of morning erection even in the morning. Brother Xu, as men, you should know that, even if he is asleep, there should be some reaction."
Jiang Yan crossed her arms coldly, looked at Lu Liangjia with unusual contempt and said, "And he also has a very bad habit of talking in his sleep. The most unbearable thing is that I always thought that the third person between me and my boyfriend was a woman. Who knew it was actually him, a dirty homosexual like him?"
"Damn it, is it a love triangle?" Thomas Xu tilted his body and almost fell off his chair, looking at Lu Liangjia as if he were an alien.
"Lu Liangjia" Jiang Yan looked at Lu Liangjia who was so limp on the chair with anger, and almost said through gritted teeth, "I finally know who the Jiajia that William Jianwei called was. No wonder you were so sad when you heard the news of his death. The sadness is beyond the scope of friendship between men. It turns out that you are a pair of real lovers. You said, how can you let a dirty thing like you follow you? Do you know how sad and disgusting I feel when I know that I was robbed of my first time by a homosexual? Now I feel like vomiting whenever I think of you and William Jianwei. I can no longer tolerate being helped by trash like you, even if I die."
"I..." Lu Liangjia was leaning on the chair blankly, his handsome face turning white and red. He was too ashamed to say a word. Just one word made his lips tremble.
"Master Lin," Jiang Yan suddenly turned around with red eyes, walked to Jack's side in a few steps, knelt down with a "pop" and said in a sob, "Jiang Yan was brought out by Master Lin from the service area. You should be a good person and bring me with you. You can carry someone like Sister No. 6, and I won't be too much, otherwise I will really have no chance of survival."
"Yanzi, you'd better get up. It's so embarrassing for him to kneel down and talk to our master like this." Cao Mei hurriedly went up to help Jiang Yan and wiped away the tears that had fallen down her cheeks. She turned to look at Jack and begged, "Master, Jiang Yan has suffered enough. She met two men one after another who are gay. Let's... let's take her with us."
"Alas~" Jack sighed helplessly. At first he just wanted to go alone, but he accidentally made the lineup bigger and bigger. He thought he would be able to continue to understand everything after finding the gathering place, but now it seems that it is impossible to relax, but there is always It was better than the one who came with ten or twenty people some time ago. Jack knew that his biggest shortcoming was his soft heart, which could not be changed in a short time, so he had no choice but to nod and said, "Forget it, as long as she doesn't regret it, it doesn't matter if there is one more person."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Mr. Lin." Jiang Yan was immediately enveloped by the huge surprise, and cried loudly while hugging Cao Mei. In fact, there was one thing hidden in her heart, that is, she was not optimistic about the team of Boss Hu and the others. Although she could not explain the reason, a woman's sixth sense told her that it was definitely a team with a bleak future.
After everyone expressed their opinions, Thomas Xu clapped his hands and stood up excitedly, saying, "Okay, after dinner, let's go out and have fun together. Tonight happens to be the weekly singing competition."
"I'm so faint. Is there a singing competition here? Who came up with the idea?" Bingbing asked Thomas Xu with a black line on her forehead, looking at her in confusion.
"I can't remember who came up with the idea. Anyway, this competition has been held for the third time. It seems that at the beginning, someone just got karaoke equipment and sang ten songs with half a meter. Later, it gradually developed into a competition. The main reason is that everyone's nightlife is boring. It's not interesting to gamble with women all the time. I have to change my tricks." Thomas Xu smiled, waved his hands very excitedly and shouted, "Let's go out together and see. It's very lively, and everyone in the gathering place will go."
