Starting from the office buildings we kept passing through

Chapter 74 Dredging

The next morning, it didn't rain; it was sunny and bright outside.

After breakfast, Chen Hao led a group of people downstairs.

Chen Hao walked at the front, followed by Chen Zhong and Liu Bai.

Both men were wearing 100-pound iron armor sets, holding swords in their right hands and torches in their left hands to light Chen Hao's way.

The armor Liu Bai was wearing was just made this morning, and Chen Hao had him put it on.

Behind Chen Zhong and Liu Bai was Chen Hao's hunting team, each of them wearing a set of protective gear, either leather or cloth armor.

After that, it was Qin Feng and his group.

At home, Xu Zhen, Ma Tao, and a few other people were guarding the house to prevent anyone from breaking in.

The corridor was crowded with people.

But as soon as Chen Hao arrived, everyone instinctively made way for him and his group.

There's nothing I can do; I just look at their gear and then at mine.

"Damn, how do they have such good equipment? I'm still using a wooden stick."

"Who knows? They seem to be using some kind of cheat code. Should we still travel through time together?"

"Yeah, it's so frustrating. We all transmigrated at the same time, so how come they're doing so well while I'm still so miserable?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion as they faced Chen Hao and his group.

People looked on with envy at the equipment they wore and the weapons they carried.

Even the torches made them envious.

The fact that they could use torches meant that Chen Hao's team had plenty of fuel. How could this not make those of them, who lived on the poverty line or were even starving, envious and jealous?

"Brother, can I join you?"

Suddenly, someone grabbed the clothes of Chen Hao's group and asked earnestly.

The man tried to break free, but couldn't. He could only reply helplessly, "How would I know? You'll have to ask Brother Chen."

As he spoke, he pointed to Chen Hao below.

This person knew Chen Hao's reputation, so he didn't dare to go up and ask, and could only continue to harass him.

Annoyed, the man drew his knife and glared fiercely at the person harassing him: "If you don't let go, I'll chop you up."

The harasser was startled and quickly let go.

This happened several times along the way.

The lobby on the first floor was covered with mud and the rotting corpses of some creatures, including human corpses that had been soaked in water.

Several of the first people to arrive on the first floor have already vomited.

When Chen Hao and the others arrived, the first floor was empty, but the concrete plaza outside was packed with people.

The reason for this is that there are corpses and a lot of silt on the first floor, but no one is willing to clean it up.

Chen Hao and the others also saw the corpses that had already developed a gigantic appearance. Gao Jie only glanced at them before feeling nauseous and dared not look. She quickly took two steps forward, grabbed Chen Hao's clothes, and lowered her head so low that it was almost buried in her chest.

When Chen Zhong and Liu Bai saw that it was Gao Jie, they did not stop her.

No one else would have been able to get even a step closer to Chen Hao.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of those corpses?"

"Hmm," Gao Jie nodded, without saying anything.

Chen Hao wasn't afraid, but leaving these corpses here was really inappropriate and could easily cause infectious diseases like plagues.

The mud on the ground also needs to be cleaned up; it's very slippery when people walk on it.

However, it would be extremely difficult for Chen Hao's team to accomplish these tasks on their own.

At this point, we need to mobilize everyone's efforts.

Chen Hao and the others did not linger in the lobby on the first floor, but went to the cement plaza outside.

There was also mud in the square, but less than in the hall, and as more people gathered, some people spontaneously cleaned up the mud around their own area.

"Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen."

Chen Hao's arrival immediately drew the attention of both teams, who surrounded him.

It was the team led by Shen Mo and Jiang Meiya.

Both teams had many members carrying weapons, and some were wearing black leather armor.

Those black leather armors are lizard skin armor.

The silent team has three complete sets, two of which only have the upper body part.

Jiang Meiya's team has five sets of outfits, three of which are only worn on the upper body.

Chen Hao provided them with four sets of equipment, while the other four sets were obtained by them from killing the [Wetland Black Lizard].

"Shen Mo, President Jiang, I have some things to discuss with you."

Chen Hao said.

"What is it, Mr. Chen? Please tell me."

Jiang Meiya replied immediately.

"I'm planning to organize a group of people to clean up the lobby on the first floor."

"I didn't expect you to have this idea, Mr. Chen!"

"Do you have any plan? Do you want us to provide a group of people?"

"You will definitely need to send a group of people, but in addition to us, you also need to mobilize other people to help."

"Does Mr. Chen have any thoughts?"

"That's good. I want to gather the leaders of each team together and have each send some people to clean up the mess together."

Chen Hao said.

"That might be a bit difficult."

Jiang Meiya said with some difficulty, "Some team leaders may not pay attention to you, President Chen."

"yes."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao laughed instead.

"Then let them know what a difference in strength really means."

"Qin Feng".

"Brother Chen, I'm here."

Qin Feng heard Chen Hao call his name and immediately ran over.

"I have a task for you: take Chen Zhong and Liu Bai and invite all the team leaders over here."

Chen Hao emphasized the word "please" and read it aloud again.

Qin Feng immediately understood: "Yes, Brother Chen, I will definitely invite them over."

Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction.

"Chen Zhong, Liu Bai."

"Yes, my lord."

"Your actions are entirely under Qin Feng's command. Do whatever he tells you to do, and do not act on your own."

"Do you understand?"

"Understood, my lord."

Both responded simultaneously.

"Alright, you can go ahead then."

"Yes."

Led by Qin Feng, the three went to invite someone.

"Mr. Chen, aren't you afraid that doing this will backfire?"

Jiang Meiya, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"Really?" Chen Hao just smiled. "I don't think it will have the opposite effect."

Ten minutes later, twenty or thirty people gathered together.

Among them are Chen Hao, Jiang Meiya, and Shen Mo.

There were also Liu Xuanyu, Lü Song, Sun Yulin, and others.

There were also some people with bruises and swelling on their faces.

These people looked at Chen Hao with resentment, but dared not bare their teeth.

These were the clueless people who got a lesson from Chen Zhong and Liu Bai.

"I've called you all here today to discuss something with you."

"As you can see, the lobby on the first floor is covered in mud and the stench of corpses has made it unsuitable to stay in, and there is a possibility of a plague."

"Therefore, I'm going to ask everyone to lend a hand so we can clean the lobby on the first floor together."

"I've finished speaking. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

After speaking, Chen Hao's sharp eyes swept over everyone present.

Some were fearless, while others avoided eye contact.

But no one dared to stand up and oppose it.

Everyone present knew that Chen Hao had a powerful group of subordinates, and that he himself was even more powerful and ruthless.

Anyone who dares to be the first to speak out at this time will have to gamble on whether Chen Hao will make an example of them.

"I agree."

Jiang Meiya was the first to stand up and unequivocally support Chen Hao.

Next came Shen Mo, followed by Sun Yulin, Liu Xuanyu, Lü Song, and others.

Finally, under Chen Hao's increasingly impatient gaze, those with bruised and swollen faces had no choice but to raise their hands.

I agree.

They practically spat out those four words one by one.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's begin."

"Qin Feng, you will be in charge of coordinating, supervising, and handling this matter."

"If anyone disobeys orders, come to me."

"Yes, Brother Chen."

Qin Feng excitedly agreed.

This time, he was to command hundreds of people.

This was an experience he had never had before.
