Chapter 1338: Lin Feng Recruits People

The day after Chen Yuting left for shipping supplies to Sea City Base, Lin Feng found Dong Lijia and talked to him about recruiting soldiers from his group.

“Do you want people from our group only? What about the ones from the other groups which followed us here?” Dong Lijia sat in front of Lin Feng and said.

“We want them too, of course. But, for the other groups, what we’re about to offer them will be slightly worse than what we intend to offer you,” Lin Feng sat straight as a soldier like always as he nodded and said expressionlessly. He wasn’t surprised to hear that question from Dong Lijia.

To recruit people from the hunters’ group, the base would surely offer the groups something to pay them back. If Dong Lijia and his people were willing to recommend their group members to join the army, the base would pay them back with credits, nuclei, supplies, or other valuable things. The amount of the payment would be decided by the number of the people they recommended.

If the people they recommended were from another hunters’ group, what the base would offer that group would be slightly less than what would be offered to Dong Lijia’s group.

“Oh, you’re treating people differently!” On hearing the answer, Dong Lijia said to Lin Feng smilingly. Then, he couldn’t help but ask a question, “Their people won’t be paid less than our people, will they?”

Lin Feng shook his head and said, “No, everyone will be paid the same after they join our army. We’re just about to offer better compensation to your group than the other groups. After all, Three Months Hunters’ Group is raised by you guys single-handedly. What we are going to do is like turning some of your members into ours. The other groups weren’t raised by you guys, and you’ve never invested resources on them. So, you don’t need us to compensate you for them, right?”

“You’re right. Alright, I’ll help you on that. I’ll see if any of our members are willing to join your base. After all, providing for so many people isn’t an easy thing!” Dong Lijia nodded with a smile.

Lin Feng only planned to recruit soldiers from the hunters’ group, but not recruit the whole group, because he didn’t know if they would want that. However, he still decided to make the offer.

“And of course, if the core team of your group is willing to join us, you’ll certainly be welcomed,” he looked at Dong Lijia and made the offer.

Dong Lijia didn’t take the offer but maintained the smiling face as he looked at the other with narrowed eyes and nodded, “Oh, well… We don’t have that kind of plan for now. We’ll think about joining your army if we change our mind one day. I wonder if your offer will still be on the table by then.”

Lin Feng nodded and said, “Of course, you can join us any time you want!”

“Thank you!” Dong Lijia nodded smilingly.

Lin Feng put the contract on his desk and said, “This is the contract and all the other files you’ll need. You can first talk to the others and then make the decision. We’ll hold a meeting and sign the contract once you guys have made the decision.”

While speaking, he stood up. Dong Lijia stood up as well, walking Lin Feng out of the office. Then, he came back and sat down to readi the files provided by Lin Feng carefully.

That afternoon, he found the others and had a discussion with them. Dong Xinxin read the files and said, “By joining the army, we’d be giving away some of our powers, and there would be more restrictions. I don’t think that’s necessary. We’ve joined the base already. If the base is facing a crisis one day, we’ll fight side by side with them to save it. So, I think we are not suitable for their army.”

Her group had a mature management system. The army wouldn’t possibly allow the group to keep its own system, so joining the army meant that the original structure of the group would break. Also, there would be some rules and limitations in the army to restrict the soldiers. Joining the army also meant less freedom.

The good side of joining the army was that they would be paid. However, they still had their own sources of supplies and were able to find other sources by themselves. They didn’t need to rely on the army for survival.

“I agree,” Deng Chenfei gave Dong Xinxin a glance and nodded in agreement.

“Me too,” Luo Yuanjun nodded as well.

“Oi, can’t you two have your own point of view? Don’t always listen to whatever Xinxin says.” Dong Lijia looked at the two and complained.

“I got nothing to do with that. Don’t drag me into that conversation,” Dong Xinxin rolled her eyes as she folded her arms and leaned against the back of the couch.

“Since we’re not joining ourselves, I think we should send some other people to join the army. After all, the number of soldiers in this base now is pathetically small,” Dong Lijia thought for a moment and made the decision.

The soldiers in the army would be paid with credits and nuclei each month, while also being provided with weapons, meal tickets, and accommodations. The people from the bottom of hunters’ groups might be attracted by credits and nuclei only. After all, even though being a zombie hunter was a dangerous job, the hunters never needed to worry about food and accommodations.

However, earning credits and nuclei could be rather difficult for hunters. By contributing to the group, hunters could earn nuclei, but to earn credits, they had to work for the base. One could buy anything with credits. That was the same in every base.

Therefore, as long as Dong Lijia released the recruiting notice in his group, many would be tempted.

“What do you guys think?” Dong Lijia looked at the others.

Dong Xinxin shrugged and said, “I’m fine with it.”

Deng Chenfei nodded quietly.

“I agree,” Luo Yuanjun nodded as well.

“Alright,” said Dong Lijia, “I’m going to send the message to Lin Feng and see when he’ll hold the meeting to get the contract signed.”

…

After delivering the supplies to Sea City Base, Jingyan and Yan Xiao spent two days wandering in Sea City Base. The second night, they gathered up and headed home.

As they were about forty miles away from Sea City Base, both Jingyan and Yan Xiao suddenly had the look on their faces grow cold. They glanced at each other and gave the driver an order, “Keep driving.”

Then, the two zombie girls opened the door and flashed out of the moving vehicle. One of them hopped onto Chen Yuting’s vehicle and the other disappeared. Yan Xiao knelt on the truck roof on one knee and bent over to slap Chen Yuting’s window.

Chen Yuting rolled down the window and stuck his head out to look up at her, “What’s going on?”

“Some people are barring our road. There’re about a hundred of them,” Yan Xiao spent a second sensing those people’s vibes and then lowered her head.

“I get it,” Chen Yuting nodded and said. Then, he took out the speaker and said to the entire team, “Everyone, get ready to fight!”
