Chapter 142 Leaving Shanshan Peak Village
In fact, Lu Jiayi didn't walk very fast. He didn't want Gregory to chase him out of the house. When he reached the center of the hall, the old man finally caught him.
He sighed with a frustrated look on his face before saying, "Okay, I'm willing to trade."
Lu Jiayi stretched out his hand to interrupt the old man. Looking at this cunning guy, he was filled with contempt, but his expression did not show any of it.
"Mr. Gregory, you have to understand that the reason why we plan to trade with you is not because of you, but for the patients outside. I just don't want them to die because of lack of medicine."
The old man's mentality was already a bit broken at this time. He waved his hands indifferently and walked outside, muttering to himself as he walked.
"Okay, you greedy guys, I'll give it all to you, I won't leave anything behind!"
The next thing was much simpler. They used some medicines in exchange for a large amount of food, and the exchange ratio used was exactly the expensive plan in Catherine's hand, but it was still quite cost-effective.
The old man was still gritting his teeth while collecting food, but Lu Jiayi knew in his heart that he was just pretending.
"Okay, Captain Lu, our food has been given to you, is it time to hand over the medicine? Our patients urgently need these medicines to save their lives."
Gregory is a guy who doesn't want to suffer losses. Even though he didn't gain anything from this transaction, he still wanted to leave an impression on the people of Shandingzhai that the other party only cares about resources and does not care about human lives.
Lu Jiayi didn't explain, just looked at him with a smile.
The old man suddenly felt that something was not right in the surrounding atmosphere. He turned around and looked around, and found that all the people in Shandingzhai looked at him with strange eyes. There seemed to be a trace of anger and disgust in their eyes?
Doctor Carson beside him said in a low voice: "Captain Lu has given medicine to these patients since he saw no news from you before. Now some of them have begun to reduce their fever."
After hearing the news, Gregory felt his forehead pounding and his blood pressure rising. Ever since this group of people arrived, he had been at a disadvantage. In so many years of business wars, he had rarely encountered this kind of situation. This is definitely not normal. I have underestimated the other party. There must be an extremely cunning guy in their group.
He began to scan Lu Jiayi's team members one by one, and found that none of them were elderly, which made it difficult for him to make a judgment.
Son of a bitch, who is causing trouble for me here?
He forced down the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, tried to make his expression more natural, and his tone returned to the same confidence as when they first met.
"Ahem, well, since the deal has been completed, I won't leave a few people behind. I hope you have a safe journey! Jesus, help me see off the guests."
After saying that, he walked into the room without looking back, leaving only Carson and Jesus standing there looking at a few people in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, that's the kind of person Gregory is. To be precise, when the leader was elected here, no one competed with him. He took the position directly. His management was pretty good this year, so everyone got used to it. ”
Jesus knew about Gregory's virtues. This guy had a typical businessman mentality. He didn't like to suffer losses in anything. As long as it was profitable, he didn't care about face. Once it was unprofitable, he would immediately turn his back on others.
Lu Jiayi waved his hands indifferently. He didn't believe that this guy could make any waves in his hands. The most important thing now is that he has contacted Shandingzhai. At least he has left a good image in the hearts of these people. Of course Except for Gregory and his two followers.
…
On the way back to Alexandria, a group of people were chatting lively. They came into contact with two forces today. Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result was good.
Catherine also came next to Lu Jiayi, talking happily about her performance in the afternoon, listening quietly to the girl's story, nodding from time to time.
Michonne came closer to Lu Jiayi and asked curiously: "What are your plans next?"
"Continue to explore the surrounding area. I need to understand all the survivor forces nearby. We will stay here for up to five or six months. It is best to find a way to take away all the survivors here."
"What if they don't want to leave? Not everyone is willing to live under someone else's roof." Catherine on the side also asked.
Lu Jiayi shrugged and said helplessly: "I haven't thought about it yet. Please, am I omnipotent?"
Everyone around them said in unison: "Of course!"
Lu Jiayi rolled his eyes and lay down on the sofa.
The rest of the people laughed together. Today they once again saw Lu Jiayi's superb calculation ability, beating the king and the old man of Shandingzhai to death. At least they felt that they could not do this.
However, the more evil Lu Jiayi behaves, the better it is for them. After all, most people want to be leaders, but not everyone can become a leader. It is good to have such a leader at this time.
And the more Lu Jiayi thinks about it, the less they need to think about. You must know that habits are a terrible thing. Habits become natural. When a person develops a certain habit, he will unconsciously maintain his habit and will Develops a dislike for people who don't respect his habits.
Lu Jiayi didn't want these people to feel too dependent on him. He hoped that these people could become independent people, rather than just tools who listened to whatever he said.
So he planned to change the division of labor in the team next. He would still be responsible for going out to investigate the surrounding areas, while the others would be divided into two groups to continue contacting the Kingdom of God and Shandingzhai.
This can also exercise their ability to think independently, and the forces they are looking for next are all relatively dangerous forces.
The Salvation Army has not shown up yet, so the men at the current seaside hotel should not have been exterminated. And for some reason, that place is very exclusive. You need to be careful if you explore there.
There is also the garbage dump of Jandis. This force is an organization that Lu Jiayi must contact, because no matter how disgusted he is with the other party, Jandis is currently the only person who can contact CRM.
Although she is only an external person responsible for providing experimental materials and talents to CRM, in the eyes of CRM she is just a dispensable person.
On the contrary, she has always prioritized joining CRM. This powerful organization shocked her so much that she dismissed all other organizations. This is why Rick cannot see through her in the original play. .
For example, two people work in the same unit. One of them goes to work every day hoping to have a good future, and the other is told that as long as he can find a certain piece of information, he can be promoted several levels in a row. At this time, the latter will naturally The former will not be taken seriously, and the two people's perspectives of thinking about things are not in the same dimension. This causes the former to be unable to understand many of the latter's decisions.
Rick originally thought that Jane would help him, but she joined the Salvation Army at the critical moment. In fact, Jane Dis had no position. She just made the decision she thought was the safest. In her eyes, what is Alexander and what is the Salvation Army? The army and other organizations, no matter how they live, are just people struggling to survive in the apocalypse, nothing more.
The reason why she is so interested in Rick is not because she has any sense of identification with him. She just regards him as a ticket, a ticket that can cross into the Civil Republic. From beginning to end, she is testing and standing on a higher stand. testing these people.
