Eye of the Wasteland

Chapter 187 The Conspiracy in the Outer City (Part [-])
For many residents of the Xinshan Village stronghold and many newly joined refugees, the entire stronghold passed in such a harmonious and warm atmosphere that night.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Yunhao was woken up by someone sent by Chen Xiaojia, and then he took the convoy that was already waiting on the road outside the stronghold.

Sitting on the armed jeep in front of the team, Wu Yunhao asked Chen Xiaojia who was also sitting on it: "There are a lot of transport trucks here today, and it looks like I need to buy a lot of things."

Smiling and nodding to Wu Yunhao, Chen Xiaojia added to Wu Yunhao: "Yesterday, I counted the grain and supplies in the warehouse, and roughly calculated the current expenses. There is a lot of difference."

"After all, these refugees will also be part of our stronghold in the future. We can't let them be treated worse than the original residents forever."

"It will be chilling after a long time, so Zhang Hongwei and Cao Chengan have chosen the location for the new warehouse."

"It looks like we have a lot of work to do before winter hits."

After everyone got into the armed vehicles and transport trucks, Chen Xiaojia signaled the driver to pick up the car radio and order the convoy to set off.

After a somewhat boring drive, the magnificent city walls of Fuyuan City soon appeared at the end of the sky.

Knowing from the car radio message that Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia's group were about to arrive in Fuyuan City, Ding Shiyang sent Fang Yu and Mao Wendong to wait for the Wasteland Ranger convoy at the city gate in advance.

Asking other wasteland rangers to lead the transport convoy to the outer city to purchase supplies, Chen Xiaojia signaled Fang Yu and Mao Wendong to get into his armed jeep.

After Fang Yu and Mao Wendong jumped into the armed jeep, Chen Xiaojia smiled and asked them both: "Oh, I haven't seen you for the past two days, but you seem to be full of red faces."

"How about it, the Huahua World in Fuyuan City has squeezed the two of you dry, right? I think recently, the major forces should be taking turns to curry favor with you?"

Hearing Chen Xiaojia's words, Fang Yu and Mao Wendong smiled and replied one after another: "Captain, no, don't think too badly about us."

"That is, although the major forces do want to win us over, we have never compromised, let alone betrayed Lao Ding and Wasteland Ranger."

Helplessly smiling and shaking his head, Chen Xiaojia replied to the two of them: "You two really don't have any sense of humor, and you can't take jokes?"

Then, after Fang Yu and Mao Wendong looked at each other with a smile, Chen Xiaojia asked again: "Ding Shiyang asked us to come here, saying that those small forces in the outer city are causing trouble, what's the situation?"

Fang Yu and Mao Wendong looked at each other when they heard the words, and Mao Wendong made a signal gesture to Fang Yu: "Little boy, you are so eloquent on weekdays, I can't even quarrel with you, now it's your turn."

Glancing at Mao Wendong, Fang Yu said to Chen Xiaojia and Wu Yunhao who was looking at him: "Captain, Angkor, the thing is like this..."

"After Brother Ding and I and Diao Mao replaced our team to take charge of the outer city, because we are not familiar with the place, so many things should be handled by the original people."

"Damn it, it's pretty boy!"

"Don't interrupt, hairy...Captain, let's continue. It's just that some time ago, an official in charge told us that there was a large-scale brawl in the most prosperous commercial area in the outer city."

"When we rushed over to take a look, it turned out that some homeless people and the situation in the outer city were dissatisfied with a business, and they gathered to smash that business."

"However, when we investigated the cause of this series of incidents, we found that the homeless and the people in the outer city also had hardships that they could not tell."

"They ordered a lot of food and winter supplies from this business, but the business couldn't deliver the goods when the delivery date came."

"Also, relying on someone behind the scenes, this firm arrogantly stated that at most [-]% of the payment will be refunded, and the remaining [-]% is compensation for the malicious breach of contract by these homeless people and residents of the outer city."

Hearing this, Chen Xiaojia looked at Fang Yu who was talking inexplicably: "Fang Yu, I think you are confused?"

"Even if you think about this kind of thing with your toes, you should know that the firm must be wrong. This is actually a problem for you. Did you really collect money?"

Sensing the accusation in Chen Xiaojia's tone, Fang Yu hurriedly waved his hand at Chen Xiaojia and replied: "Captain, that's not what I meant, listen to me."

"Having heard the ins and outs of the matter, we must have directly punished the firm and asked them to either deliver the goods on time, or not only to refund the full amount of the goods, but also to compensate them for their losses."

"However, we have just settled this matter, and the Dragon Hunting Legion came directly."

"Backing him behind this firm is Zhu Zhenghao, the head of the Dragon Hunting Legion."

"Zhu Zhenghao said that the firm was opened by their relatives, so let's save face and not interfere in this matter."

Frowning slightly, Chen Xiaojia asked Fang Yu, "How did Ding Shiyang respond to Zhu Zhenghao?"

Fang Yu replied helplessly: "Captain, we also know that the Dragon Hunting Legion is one of the four major legions in the Fuyuan City Guard Army, and they must not be offended."

"So, Brother Ding first used words to temporarily stabilize Zhu Zhenghao, and then asked us to notify the Xinshan Village base as soon as possible to invite you and Mr. Wu over."

At this time, Mao Wendong said: "Captain, I think this matter should be minimized as much as possible."

"The Dragon Hunting Corps is one of the four major legions in Fuyuan City. They are people who even City Lord Feng must be cautious. We can't afford to mess with our current situation."

Frowning her own brows and thinking for a while, Chen Xiaojia turned her head to look at Wu Yunhao who was at the side: "Our Mr. Wu, why don't you tell me your opinion?"

Wu Yunhao replied with a smile to Chen Xiaojia and Fang Yu and Mao Wendong who were looking at him: "What else do you think, there are only two ways to deal with it."

"One is that we are business-like, completely ignoring the face of the Dragon Hunters, but we are able to establish prestige in the outer city and win the hearts of some people."

"However, in this way, we will offend the Dragon Hunting Legion, and we will welcome hostility and even revenge from the Dragon Hunting Legion and its forces."

"The second is that we give the Dragon Hunters this face, which may make the Dragon Hunters look at us more pleasingly, but we lose the hearts of the people in the outer city."

"At the same time, this matter will definitely make other forces look down on us, so they will try to rely on other deep-rooted forces in the inner city."

"After all, they all know that we are bullying people, so they will naturally find a stronger backer."

"Two roads, two choices, two completely different results, it depends on how we choose."
