Chapter 317: Only Deceiving Honest People

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Wenwen didn’t show dislike toward these people, but smiled at them and asked, “Do you have the strength? Can you carry bricks?”

Hearing her questions, the few men quickly nodded.

Lin Wenwen gave a grin and responded, “As long as you have the strength, superpowers aren’t necessary. However, there’s one thing… you’ll get this job only if you have the courage to come with us. Don’t worry, we won’t try to harm you at least.”

Hearing her words, the few men hesitated for a while, then said, “May I ask, do you provide food? We’re not demanding much. We’ll work for you only if you give us one full meal per day!”

They had been starved for days, with nothing to eat. They were working on a farm in Special Region C, but half a month ago, they were replaced. Someone pulled the strings to take their jobs, and they became jobless.

They were ordinary people, without any superpowers; they weren’t fighters, as they had no knowledge of martial arts. No zombie hunting squad would recruit commoners like them, so even if they risked to go out of the base, they would probably be bitten to death by zombies very soon.

Lin Wenwen glanced at the others.

Then, Du Yuanxing said, “Ah, that’s for sure! If you have the guts to come with us, you won’t only get one meal per day. You’ll be provided with three meals a day… And if you do your jobs well, we’ll also give you some rice or flour.”

The few men slightly widened their eyes as they looked at Du Yuanxing with disbelief, then at Lin Wenwen. “Re-really?” they asked, “Can we really get rice and flour?”

Lin Wenwen nodded and said, “That is true. But, we can’t tell you where the working place will be yet. You’ll find out when we get there. Now, I’m asking you if you’re brave enough to come with us?”

Those men looked at each other, hesitating.

At that point, one of those people who had been watching them since long ago chipped in, “You wouldn’t even tell them about the location. Three meals a day? Rice and Flour? Are you sure what you said is real? You don’t believe it yourself, do you?”

“Haha, yeah! I’ve been paying attention to this mission for long. Your offer seems to be tempting, but do you really have rice and flour for the people who’ll come with you? You said that you need people to carry bricks, but you wouldn’t tell which kind of bricks, and where. You’re just deceiving those honest people who have nothing to eat, right?”

“He’s right! You said that you have rice and flour. Aren’t you going to show us what you have? Only that way people can believe what you have said.”

“I just want to know who are you people, and why do you have those expensive foods. Where did you get those foods? Except for those high-positioned people in the base center, who else can have so much rice to share with the others?”

“I think carrying bricks might be real, but as for if there’ll really be food or not, and if they’ll really pay with rice… that needs to be proved.”

The voices of doubt could be heard from all directions. Most of those people were just trying to stir up trouble, so they talked extra loudly.

Hearing their words, some other people around turned their eyes to this area, expecting to watch a show.

Lin Wenwen and her friends only gave those people a bland glance.

Du Yuanxing was relatively hot-tempered. He couldn’t help but angrily yell at those people who were making sarcastic comments, “What are you talking about? You can believe it or not, but you shouldn’t make it sound like we’re all liars, okay?”

Lin Hao said coldly, “As for people like you, we won’t hire them even they want to come.”

Those people laughed scornfully. “Ahya, like it’s real! Come on people, look! They don’t want to hire us. How ridiculous! Like we want to work for them!” One of them laughed.

“Haha… You’re right!”

“Hehe…”

“Hah…”

The laughter came from every direction. Some of the few men who came to talk to Lin Wenwen at first now hesitated as well.

“Um, we should… look for other opportunities…”

“Ugh, I… I’ll listen to you.”

Only the man who was pushed out to talk to Lin Wenwen wasn’t affected by the others.

He shook his head and said, “No, I believe what they said is true.”

“Oi, don’t be silly… What if…” Seeing that he still wanted the job, a man behind him anxiously held his arm. He tried to say something, but paused after glancing at Lin Wenwen.

At that moment, Lin Wenwen shook her head with a faint smile, then said, “Are you idiots? Or, are you really stupid? What place do you think this is? Is this an underground market? Isn’t the reward content of every mission verified? Or, did the system of this place and the people who’re in charge here allow us in here knowing that we’re cheaters? Do you think that the people who’re working here are all useless ones who know nothing?”

Her words successfully shut those troublemakers up and froze their proud smiles.

She was right. This place was an important part of the base, meaning that the people who worked in this place were all subordinates of the three base leaders. Therefore, doubting the people who worked in this place equaled doubting the leaders’ subordinates, which could also equal to questioning the leaders themselves.

That was a serious accusation!

Just now, those people made irresponsible speeches only to feel good. They didn’t expect this pretty young woman to be such a fierce talker.

“That… We didn’t say that! You said that!” Those perky people immediately drew back.

Some people who had been silently watching whispered ‘idiots’. Of course, they referred to the few people who had tried to kick up a fuss.

“Get out!” Lin Hao coldly stared at them and said, “I’ll remember you… We won’t hire you.”

After that, Lin Wenwen said to the few commoners who intended to take the job, “You’re free to make your own decisions. We won’t force you. If you’re willing to take the job, please fill this form.”

While speaking, she pointed at the stack of files on the stand.

The few men glanced at each other again. Then, the man who firmly believed Lin Wenwen said, “I’ll do it.” While speaking, he walked to the stand, picked up the pen on it, and started writing.

Seeing that he didn’t hesitate at all, the others all paused slightly. After that, they slowly followed him, waiting for him to finish the form.

“Ugh, may I ask… when do we leave?” After filling the form, the man stepped aside to let the others do the forms. Meanwhile, he couldn’t help but asked Lin Wenwen.

“That depends,” said Lin Wenwen, “We need to recruit enough people before starting.”

“Eh… When will it be? Are you going to hire many people?”

Lin Wenwen gave him a faint smile and responded, “We’re going to hire a hundred people. Judging by the current situation, we don’t know how long it’ll take for us to recruit a hundred people. By now, we have about fifty people, including you guys. We’ll leave the space when we have hired a hundred. After sending the first batch of people over there, we’ll come back to continue hiring.”
