Xu Lina never expected she could beco a convoy manager.
Not because she hadn't thought about it, but because everything had happened too quickly; she hadn't had the chance to entertain such ssy thoughts.
However, when Xue Nan uttered those words, a brilliant smile slowly blood on Xu Lina's face, and the affected, girlish tone in her voice diminished sowhat.
Choosing Xu Lina as a convoy manager was sothing Xue Nan had considered briefly.
In an apocalypse like this, a woman like Xu Lina was extrely dangerous.
Yet, so far, there hadn't been any news of her being bullied.
There were even occasional rumors of her trading blows with Boss Gao on equal footing.
One must understand, the convoy appeared calm on the surface, but that was only because of superhumans like Chen Ye and Chu Che being around.
But to claim it was completely harmonious and peaceful would be utter nonsense.
Who was Boss Gao?
He was a figure who, before the apocalypse, could make the local ground tremble just by stamping his foot.
Yet, Xu Lina could drape herself in Chen Ye's tiger skin to make a grand banner and stand on equal footing with Boss Gao. One had to admit she possessed so skill.
As for why he didn't choose soone from the newly joined group to be a convoy manager...
Xue Nan had no intention of promoting strangers.
Nepotism was practically a complint in these tis.
Xu Lina gave a slight wave to Li Juan within the crowd. "Li Juan, co with ."
This woman didn't have great popularity within the convoy.
Consequently, she suffered no shortage of exclusion.
Of course, Xu Lina was an exception.
Because this woman, Xu Lina, treated everyone with the sa attitude. She never spoke ill of others behind their backs, and sotis, when other convoy mbers faced difficulties, she would even step forward to speak a few words of fairness.
This was one of the reasons Xu Lina enjoyed good popularity in the convoy.
Li Juan's eyes brightened slightly, and her eye sockets actually reddened a little.
She knew what this olive branch Xu Lina extended ant.
"Sister Na!"
Her voice actually choked up slightly.
Xu Lina wiped Li Juan's face gently and smiled warmly. "Don't cry. Do your work well, and strive to survive!"
Li Juan nodded vigorously. "Mhm!"
The reason Xu Lina chose Li Juan was because she saw a trace of hostility in Li Juan's eyes.
Used properly, this kind of hostility could be beneficial for future managent.
In the future, all those unpleasant tasks could be pushed onto Li Juan. Xu Lina believed she wouldn't refuse.
In just a brief mont, Xu Lina had already thought of many things.
Xu Lina then turned to face the sowhat panicked and angry newly joined survivors.
These people were survivors from the forr Apocalyptic Fortress.
So were "Nobles" from the second floor, others were "commoners" from the first floor.
These people originally thought Xue Nan would choose two from among them to beco convoy managers.
They never expected Xue Nan would choose two people they didn't know.
Although these people didn't dare show anything on their faces, inwardly they were unconvinced. So even cast unfriendly glances, sizing up Boss Gao and Xu Lina.
Xu Lina paid no mind to these looks. She smiled gently and said,
"I still need an assistant, so, you understand..."
She didn't finish the sentence, but the budding sense of unity that had just begun to form was instantly extinguished!
The eyes of several even burned with eagerness.
"Also, you have eight more minutes to board."
"Pick up your belongings and get on. Seats are limited, first co, first served!"
"Everyone, it's been over a year since the apocalypse began. Surely you don't think this is a vacation resort, do you?"
"As for those who can't squeeze on... I'm sorry, but you'll most likely be left behind."
"Fools aren't suited for survival."
After saying this, Xu Lina swayed her snake-like waist and walked away.
She also needed to move her own things to this new vehicle.
From now on, this bus was Xu Lina's territory.
Just thinking about this made Xu Lina's walk even more swaying and graceful.
However, when she caught sight of Chen Ye's sowhat amused gaze,
Xu Lina wiped the smugness off her face, instantly becoming sowhat humble.
Xu Lina was very clear about her act of draping herself in a tiger's skin to make a banner.
She and Chen Ye hadn't had the slightest intimate relationship; what existed between them was purer than that between a man and a woman.
Chen Ye waved his hand, signaling Xu Lina to go about her business.
Under Xue Nan's orders, the entire camp quickly sprang into action.
The convoy's old-tirs were already accustod to such procedures.
Therefore, everyone moved swiftly and with clear division of labor.
So were specifically responsible for taking down tents, others began packing away the cooking gear.
The newly joined survivors, however, appeared rather chaotic.
Quite a few were forgetful and disorganized.
Most of these people had previously lived inside the Apocalyptic Fortress.
Consequently, they lacked so experience with this kind of camping life.
Chen Ye also returned to his Monster Pickup Truck.
As soon as he got close, he heard the vehicle emit a "rustling" sound.
It was probably the tentacles sensing soone approaching, hastily retracting in a fluster.
Even though Chen Ye was the owner of the Monster Pickup Truck, the tentacles were still sowhat shy and timid around him.
It was like a kitten just brought ho, still unfamiliar with this new house and its mbers.
"Everyone, are you all ready?"
Chu Che's voice ca through the radio.
"Captain, we're all good here!"
The radio transmitted Little Fish's energetic voice.
"Yawn... Little Fish, drive slowly, I'm going to catch so sleep!"
Then ca the Pink-haired Girl's lazy voice.
"Squad Leader Chu, we're ready to move here!"
Bald Old Li's voice also ca through.
"Let's go, let's go!"
This was Chen Ye's voice.
As for Chen Hao, that guy had long since readied his rry Little Prince and was prepared.
Little Fatty and his Chief Eunuch had already boarded Iron Lion's school bus.
With six fewer people inside, even with the addition of Little Fatty and his Chief Eunuch, the school bus still felt much roomier.
Only the two buses carrying the newly joined mbers remained in a state of noisy chaos.
This newly joined group numbered a full one hundred and forty-seven people, while each of the two buses had only forty-five effective seats.
Therefore, each bus needed to squeeze in over seventy people.
So people were inevitably not going to get seats.
Consequently, conflict was unavoidable.
Boss Gao dealt with this situation by directly ordering his two underlings to rush forward and take action.
Anyone who didn't follow instructions was directly dragged out and thrown off the bus.
Those thrown off also began to panic and imdiately behaved.
As for Xu Lina...
This woman simply didn't care whether people fought or not. She just stuffed everyone into the vehicle first.
Therefore, this woman actually started her vehicle before Boss Gao did.
Facing the people still fighting inside the bus, Xu Lina rely used her sickeningly sweet voice to say,
"Fighting is fine. I even support you fighting. However, you cannot damage anything inside the vehicle!"
"Anyone who dares break sothing in this bus, this lady will throw you off."
"Because, from now on, this vehicle is this lady's private property!"
"Setting a rule today: the winner gets a seat, the loser finds their own spot!"
"If you're not convinced, once we reach a safe place, I can even find you a special spot to fight!"
"Beating each other to death or crippling each other is fine. I believe Supervisor Xue won't mind, and Mr. Chen would be quite happy to see such a situation!"
"Everyone's quite bored anyway; consider it adding a bit of fun to our mundane lives."
"Alright, let's drive!"
From the mont she beca a convoy manager, Xu Lina's deanor seed to undergo a subtle change, becoming slightly sharper.
In the past, she wouldn't have said such things, needing to maintain her gentle persona.
She wouldn't say them in the future either.
Just this once. Right now, she needed to quickly establish stability within her vehicle.
In the future, such words would be said by others, like Li Juan.
It's just that Li Juan, at this mont, hadn't fully adapted to the role she was supposed to play.
Li Juan's face, anwhile, was slightly pale.
It wasn't that she hadn't seen fights before; in the apocalypse, such things were far too common.
It was just that she had never seen it handled like this.
Sure enough, after Xu Lina finished speaking, the group brawl inside the bus beca even more brutal. However, everyone avoided hitting anything inside the vehicle, lest they break sothing.
