From the wasteland comics to the real world

Chapter 38 Family IV

"Retire, which department do you want to transfer to?"

After two or three seconds of silence, Li Yue still wanted to say something, but Li Mei suddenly spoke, interrupting Li Yue's opening.

"The logistics department."

Madeleine replied.

"Yes, but you know the rules. After quitting the hunting team, your shares will also decrease accordingly."

Madeleine is a veteran member of the Reed Trading Company and the backbone of the hunting team, holding a lot of shares.But now that she is going to transfer to the logistics department, the shareholding naturally needs to be lowered. After all, the hunting team has to bear more danger than people in other departments.

"That's for sure."

Madeleine has no objection to this, she is afraid of hurting Li Mei's heart, even though it has already been hurt.

"So you're getting married soon, congratulations, the sisters will hold a grand wedding for you then."

Li Mei resumed her heroic female bandit appearance, as if the silence and seriousness just now were just because she was talking about a serious matter.

"Yes, the wedding will be held in a few months."

Madeleine replied, and then said a few more words.

But she didn't stay too long, and left in a hurry without saying a few words.She felt a little ashamed to face Li Mei.

"Brat, take out all the fruits."

As soon as Madeleine left, Li Mei began to order people around again.

Li Yue didn't move, he hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Sister, are you okay?"

"What can I do? This is not the first time, let's live together, can we break up?"

Li Mei waved her hand and said nonchalantly, it seemed that she had completely recovered to her previous state.

Yeah, it's not the first time either.

Li Yue suddenly felt sad for his sister.

In fact, he has always known that Li Mei is difficult.

In the post-apocalyptic environment, the status of women is very low. Women in big cities may be better off, but in the wasteland, women's status is extremely low. Many times, they are commodities, labor, reproductive tools, and tools for venting anger.

Except for a very small number of women, the situation of the vast majority of women is not very good, and the life of women in the wasteland is very difficult.

Iron Castle is not bad, thanks to the order established by the owner Ridley and the thriving economy, at least the women in Iron Castle are guaranteed their lives and enjoy a series of rights.

But even so, women are still in an unequal position compared to men.

One of the most notable examples is that the guards only accept men and not women. The obvious reason is that the work of the guards is too dangerous, but in essence, it is because of male chauvinism. They look down on women in their bones, and think that if all women go to work, who will they be? To babysit?
Li Mei is naturally unwilling to admit defeat, and never feels that women are inherently inferior to men.

Since everyone felt that women were not suitable for joining the guard, she decided to set up a hunting team.

It is found that there are not many job opportunities for women at all, and even if there are a small number of opportunities, wages are generally lower than men.

Then she will create a company composed entirely of women, recruit a large number of women, and give them jobs and a salary that is enough to match her own.

But in doing so, the blows and difficulties that will be encountered are obvious. Young members like Xiaozhi quit frequently, and even veteran members like Madeleine quit more than once.

Over the years, his sister has encountered too many blows and difficulties. It is not unrelated to these experiences that she will develop such a tough character.

After all, if you don't force yourself to be strong, how can you survive the days and nights full of thorns and bloody every step you take?

What she has to fight is not a specific difficulty, but the whole environment, which is too difficult.

"Sister, I will go hunting with you from tomorrow."

Li Yue thought about it, and then said.

He is also a Level III Transcendent now, and will soon become a Level IV or V Transcendent in the future, enough to help his sister.

Li Mei froze for a moment, then laughed.

"Stinky boy, are you feeling sorry for your sister? No need, I haven't gotten into such a miserable situation. Besides, you still have to work in the research institute, how can you go hunting with us when you are free?"

"The management of the research institute is not strict, as long as the tasks are completed on time, and besides, you don't go hunting every day, so try to arrange it on my rest day?"

Seeing that Li Mei still wanted to refuse, Li Yue continued to speak and gave his reasons.

"Sister, in fact, you don't have to think that I am doing this to help you. Going hunting with you is actually helping myself."

"The three abilities I have now have not been upgraded very much. I urgently need to kill monsters to absorb spiritual energy to upgrade the level. But among the three abilities, IV-0023 Spider Sensing and III-0372 Whisper of the Wind are perception-type abilities , lack of offensive ability, the only offensive ability is III-0512 Firescale Thorn."

"If it's just me alone, the upgrade speed is too slow. I don't know what monkey year it will be if I want to upgrade the energy level to level IV."

"But if you act together with the hunting team, the situation will be different. Sister, you don't lack the ability to kill, but you have not had enough perception-type ability users before, and the ability to kill can't be fully exerted. It will be different if you add me in the future. The hunting efficiency will definitely increase greatly.”

People with perception abilities can do more than just spot enemies in advance, they are also good at hunting for prey.

Although Li Mei's company also has a few perception-type ability users, none of them exceeds level II, which greatly limits the performance of the hunting team.

Li Mei glanced at Li Yue, feeling quite moved in her heart, but said impatiently on the surface: "It's alright, alright, can't I promise you? Get out!"

After dinner, Li Mei called Li Yuelai again.

In the past, she also liked to order Li Yue and Li Musheng, but she had never done it so frequently as today. In just half an hour, she had already ordered Li Yue seven times!

As good-tempered as Li Yue, he was also a little impatient.

"Li Yue! I'm a little thirsty, bring me a glass of water!"

He returned to his room, and within three minutes of sitting down, Li Mei's voice sounded again from the next room.

Depend on!It's endless!
Li Yue covered his ears, trying to pretend he didn't hear.

He felt that Li Mei was playing tricks on him on purpose, maybe because he saw his fragile side just now, and he couldn't bear it?

"Hurry up."

Seeing that Li Yue didn't make a sound, Li Mei urged her up.

"Damn girl, are you crazy?"

There was a fucking growl in the living room.

Look, even Ms. Lu Juan can't stand it anymore.

Li Yue put away his notebook impatiently, got up and went to the living room, poured a glass of water and brought it to Li Mei's room.

"Half an hour, you have already drank water three times."

"The doctor said to drink more water."

Li Mei took the doctor's order as an arrow.

"Is this impatient?"

"Forget it, I won't order you anymore. I called you here to tell you that I have something good for you. It's a gift in return for saving me and the reed hunting team."

In the middle of speaking, Li Mei suddenly became angry.

"Brat! You're lucky! Originally, I wanted to keep this good thing for myself, but whoever asked you to save me, I can only give it to you!"

"However, I won't be able to accompany you to get this thing until I recover from my injury in a few days, so I have to take good care of my mother these few days. Otherwise, if I am not satisfied, I will have to change my mind."

"Damn girl, to whom do you call yourself an old lady? What's the matter, is it worth promoting yourself?"

Ms. Lu Juan's scolding came from outside.

"Oh, mom, isn't this just a mantra of mine?"

Li Mei yelled outside.

"You are my sister, who will I save if I don't save you? You'd better recover from your injuries first, and don't repay or not repay."

Li Yue said, put down the water glass, turned and left the room.

"Stinky boy, are you still pretending to be an adult? I even changed diapers for you when you were young!"

"Li Mei!"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk."

Li Mei cursed with a smile, looking at the closed door, the smile on her face gradually faded.

She was actually very grateful to Li Yue in her heart, not only because Li Yue saved her life, but also because Li Yue saved the lives of all Yang Shuijing, Nan Jia, and Christina.

For Li Mei, it doesn't matter if she dies alone, she is not so afraid of death, and she doesn't think what will happen if she dies.

She was even more afraid of accidents for Yang Shuijing, Nan Jia, and Anna. After all, they were forced to join the hunting team. If they died under her nose, she really didn't know how to face their families.

But she is used to being strong, and she doesn't like crying and crying. She thinks it is too hypocritical, so she was asked to thank Li Yue solemnly. She couldn't hold back her face, so she could only express her gratitude in this way.

It's just that the things she planned to give to Li Yue were really good, and even if she took them, her strength would be greatly increased, so she always felt a little bit uncomfortable when she gave them to Li Yue.

You have to order people around to express this breath.
