315: Chapter 14 The Most Leisurely Two and Recruitnt 315: Chapter 14 The Most Leisurely Two and Recruitnt “There are about three hours left until it gets dark.
We have to rush to make the raft and row across the lake.
We will camp on the other side tonight.” Just after a short rest upon finishing their al, Leonard started urging everyone to build the raft.
This directive was wildly broad, and the newcors didn’t know what to do.
They hadn’t even been divided into teams yet, so they all stood still, waiting and observing each other.
Maggie returned to David’s side, tugged his sleeve, and conveyed Tang Zheng’s question.
David frowned, clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention, and said, “Form your own groups voluntarily, and finally gather on the other side of the lake.”
The newbies quickly looked around at the others standing in the temporary camp.
Various thoughts surged into their brains while those with quick reactions started considering the advantages and disadvantages of teaming up with certain people, aiming to pick out the best teammates.
Barkeeper Anthony and Scar Arthur tead up, and they were in high spirits, which was absolutely unexpected.
Ever since entering the Cretaceous Period, everyone had kept a subconscious distance from these three unpleasant ruffians.
Stevenson originally wanted to act with David and his group, but they rejected him.
He had no choice but to team up with Mars.
A few minutes later, Rolin, still dressed in her black OL outfit and not having changed into the protective clothing, along with Chris and the high school girl who did not have a sprained ankle, talked to Mars for a bit and then joined their team.
Rolin had an ever-serious face, going about affairs with stern concentration, portraying the quintessential image of a powerful woman.
Miranda, along with two waitresses who had changed into protective clothing, successfully enthralled three hip-hop youngsters and ford a team.
“What if we can’t find a partner?” Seeing the newcors forming teams and communicating with each other, Brant and Defoe beca anxious.
They were too fat, slow, and lacking in endurance.
Besides, they would inevitably increase the weight of the raft and prolong the ti it would take to cross the river.
As long as one had a bit of sense, they would definitely not choose them for their team.
“Then you work solo.” Leonard glared at him rcilessly, scanning the surroundings, and said, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
If you can’t make a raft, then swim across the lake.
If you can’t swim, I’m sorry, you stay here waiting for death.
We won’t wait for an extra burden.”
His words overflowed with naked cruelty, rendering the newbies speechless.
Afterwards, they rushed into a flurry of activity.
A few who still had their backpacks on took out folding knives and headed towards the forest.
“We don’t have any tools!” Brant, who was sitting by a pile of campfires, shouted again.
He was even reluctant to team up with Defoe.
“Here’s the chainsaw for you; go and chop down the trees yourselves.” David took out two red chainsaws from the space backpack and threw one of them over.
Brant imdiately pounced on it, but he still was half a beat slow.
The basketball player, Derek, grabbed it first.
Within a minute, more than half of the temporary camp was empty, even the Conquerors had entered the rainforest to make their own rafts.
anwhile, only Tang Zheng and Lu Fan remained unruffled, which sowhat anxious the father and daughter, Nicole.
“Uncle, what should we do?” Lu Fan continued to eat her barbecue leisurely.
She wasn’t asking about crossing the lake – that was too straightforward.
There was already an inflatable boat in her space wristwatch which was enough to solve the problem.
She was asking if they should help others.
“Of course we should prepare the raft.” Nicole gave Tang Zheng a white look and said, “You’re not going to kick us out, are you?”
Upon hearing this, Julia’s expression imdiately beca apprehensive, looking at Tang Zheng.
If she, with a child, were to be separated from him, absolutely no team would want her.
Jenny also hesitated, not wanting to leave.
“What’s wrong with you?” Nicole was surprised when she saw Tang Zheng not responding.
She then followed his gaze to see that the high school girl with the sprained ankle was sitting on the ground, her head buried in her knees, sobbing, her shoulders shaking.
Hungry, with no one inviting her to their team and abandoned again, she completely collapsed.
“Oh no, she must be desperate.
I’m going to comfort her.” Jack jumped up and was about to walk over.
Fortunately, Nicole was quick to react and held him back.
“Dad, right now you should be concerned about our raft.”
“Yes, Tang, are you with us?” Jack’s words clearly ant that he wanted to bring the high school girl along too.
“You got it wrong.
It should be, do you want to join us?” Lu Fan stood up and said, “If you join, you must listen to Uncle.”
“I don’t mind, but can we bring them along?
Tang, I know you’re a good person.” Jack didn’t mind doing so dirty and tiring work, but he had overstepped his bounds with his first sentence.
“I’m sorry, I’m helpless.” Tang Zheng spread his hands and then looked at Jenny.
“He’s really going to drive away.” Jenny’s shoulders imdiately began to shake.
The thing she feared the most had co, so she decided to play dumb and looked away.
“Jenny, don’t make Uncle say sothing unpleasant.
Just leave on your own.” Lu Fan didn’t mind being the bad guy.
If soone was going to hitch a ride, that would definitely not be Jenny.
It should ideally be a firepower hand.
“As a lady, you shouldn’t say that.” Jack was quite discontent and looked at Tang Zheng, “Is this what you an?”
“Yes, my raft cannot accommodate so many people.
The load capacity is only for three people.
We are already over the limit.” Tang Zheng didn’t deny it, gesturing around.
“Why does the wooden raft has weight restrictions?
Why not just make it bigger?” Jenny tried to persuade Tang Zheng, demonstrating her capabilities, “I will do an extra share of the workload, please let join the team?”
“Sorry,” Tang Zheng refused once again.
Jenny wasn’t his ideal crew.
Being a prostitute, she was perhaps physically strong, but was too adept at avoiding risks.
Tang Zheng needed soone who was a little bit dumb, obedient, physically strong, and could fight.
Truly, a high school girl would be ideal, but one had already been taken by soone else, and the other one had sprained her foot.
“Then thank you for your kindness, I decline to join.” Jack finished his saying, stood up disregarding everyone, dusted off his clothes and left.
“Dad,” Nicole was about to explode with anger.
It was a struggle having a father who was obsessively moral.
After chasing him for a few steps, she turned her head back, “Tang.”
“Go and persuade Jack, I’ll keep a spot for you,” Tang Zheng said to Nicole with a smile, but he was thinking of other things.
If at this ti he lent a hand to the high school girl, would she beco his loyal follower?
Jenny, seeing that Tang Zheng was firm, dared not to say anything, and followed Jack out.
“Tang Zheng, thank you.” Julia glanced at her daughter, who was sated and lying on the picnic mat, then turned to Tang Zheng, tears welling in her eyes.
“Uncle, are you preparing an inflatable boat or life raft?
But it’s too small, at least make it big enough to hold all the people in our team, Central Hamr Squad,” Lu Fan said to Tang Zheng, who knew he had made a small boat.
“Huh?
Central Hamr?
What do you an?” Tang Zheng laughed, patting Lu Fan’s head.
“Central obviously refers to China, it sounds more domineering, broader, and more poetic.
Hamr, of course, refers to the hamr of justice, which sanctions all evils,” Lu Fan said, shaking Tang Zheng’s arm with a smile on his face, “Sounds good, how about we use it?”
“Why not call it the Central Sickle?” Tang Zheng said casually.
” The sickle sounds terrible, and when it’s used as the Reaper’s sickle, it has been used too often and lacks originality.” Lu Fan complained with a pouted mouth, “In fact, I’m not very satisfied with Central Hamr Squad, we’ll change it again when we co up with a good one.”
“You also prepared a boat?” Tang Zheng finally seized the main point of the problem.
“Of course, I’ve made an inflatable raft that can hold five people.
It was specially custom-made for my mother, it’s very sturdy,” said Lu Fan proudly, then he began to calculate on his fingers, “At least we should have Bai Guo, Qin Yan, Xin Lan, Uncle Lin on it, so exactly six people.”
“What about Pang iqin and Yin Shangwu?” Tang Zheng felt relieved, then casually explained, ” Anyway, I’ve prepared two.”
“I also prepared a length of mountaineering rope.
If they don’t mind, they can be towed behind the boat,” Lu Fan had a bad impression of iqin and was then torn, “Since we have three boats, should we give one away?”
“No way, what if we have to cross rivers later?
We need to keep two spare ones.”
Tang Zheng emphatically refused, not even caring if Julia overheard.
The young woman dared not say anything, but felt a surge of happiness.
She wouldn’t even need to build a raft.
“Start inflating, and installing the motor and other parts.
I’ve never used it before, hey, where’s the manual?” Lu Fan pulled out a foot pump, “Should we go to the lakeside?”
“Right here is fine, but let’s use mine.
It’s not worth wasting a good one for a re hundred and fifty ters.
I got this one online, it’s of so-so quality.
After a few minutes, you can throw it away, I’m too lazy to recycle it.
Plus, I’m not like you.
I’ve already assembled two, and will be able to finish in ten minutes at most.
So now, it’s ti to help others construct a wooden raft.”
“Uncle, you’re the best.” Lu Fan jumped on Tang Zheng, ca over and pecked him on the cheek.
“Wait here,” he instructed Julia, pulling Lu Fan with him as they approached the edge of the campsite.
Before he could speak, however, Danny, who was sawing a tree, shouted and chased them off, “Finally done resting?
Don’t think you can just catch a free ride just because you’re strong.
Fend for yourselves.”
“Danny?” Leonard gave him a dirty look, returned his gaze to Tang Zheng and smiled, “Would you like to join us?”
The newbies stopped what they were doing, all looking at Tang Zheng.
Indeed, those who had the ability could always attract others.
Danny was upset to see the leader say that but didn’t dare to say anything further, considering that he had agreed for Natalie to get on the boat.
“Thank you for your kindness, but…
”
Hearing Tang Zheng refuse, the newbies were surprised, and Leonard did not expect it either, the prepared rhetoric had also stuck in his throat.
“Tang, you can definitely bring the girls with you,” Maggie anxiously thought Tang Zheng was going to refuse and Leonard nodded in agreent, adding, “The kids can co too.”
The newbies pursed their lips, muttering why hadn’t they seen them being so kind to them before?
After all, they had rejected the blonde mother and daughter.
