Abyss invasion, I have a legendary Taoist profession

Chapter 27 Unhappy

Wang Ping'an walked around the outer wall of the factory, dug out all the nearby crystal cores, and then walked outside.

As soon as he got out of the wall, he saw a manhole cover lying on the road. It was obvious that the rats had crawled out from here.

The people in the factory also saw Wang Pingan at this time, and saw him covering a manhole cover and putting some heavy objects on it to press it down.

Wang Ping'an found several manholes that had been pushed open and pressed them all with stone piers.

He didn't want to be frightened again. Those rats were really scary.

Although the rats can still come out from other places if this side is blocked, the chances of discovering them will be greatly reduced as long as they stay away from this side.

Wang Ping'an circled the factory and pressed down all the nearby manhole covers. Just as he was about to walk forward a distance, he suddenly felt uncomfortable and retreated immediately. It was obvious that there was something dangerous in this direction.

He didn't go anywhere else and returned to the factory, feeling instantly more at ease.

Wang Ping'an also checked on the first floor, blocked the place connecting to the sewer with those discarded items, and then went back upstairs.

"It's safe down there for now. I've blocked the sewer, but we still need to leave someone guarding the windows and notify everyone immediately if anything happens."

"We'll arrange this later. Thank you for what you've done for the team."

They saw what Wang Ping'an did, knew his intentions, and were very grateful to him.

Wang Pingan was not impressed by the flattery at all. He did it entirely for himself: "No need to thank me, I'm here too."

When others heard him say this, they were unable to continue the conversation and always felt that he was about to leave.

Thinking of this situation, some people became anxious and still wanted to curry favor with others.

With so many dangers around them, it would be difficult for them to survive without someone with high perception like Wang Pingan: "Brother Li, we're planning to discuss the toilet issue. Can you give us some advice? What should we do next? We can't just stay in the factory!"

Someone changed the subject. They had actually already discussed a solution and were asking again to make him feel more involved.

As you participate in more things and gain everyone's respect and recognition, you will always have some feelings for them. If you want to leave again, think about it, it would be better if you could take them with you.

The others quickly figured it out and chimed in. "Yeah, Brother Li, give us some advice."

Wang Pingan was speechless when they kept calling him "Brother Li," but he still offered his own idea: "I don't have any ideas. At most, we can break through the upper floors, lure all the zombies down there and kill them. Then, we can just go upstairs to the bathroom from now on."

There is a hidden danger of rats in the toilet, and Wang Pingan can only think of this solution.

Many people looked at each other quietly. Their method was exactly the same. Due to the limited conditions, this was indeed the only way: "This idea is feasible. Let's lure the zombies down from above and kill them first."

They had actually gone up to check just now. There were only a few zombies left on the fourth and fifth floors. They had all been killed by them.

There aren't many zombies on the sixth and seventh floors. It won't be long before the building is cleared out. Then we just need to defend the areas below.

Wang Pingan watched them busying around in an orderly manner, but had no intention of going up to help. He simply found a time to quietly go to the place where the bodies were piled and dig out the crystal core. The bodies happened to be piled next to the window, and he often came here under the pretext of checking outside, so he did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

……

Many people watched Wang Pingan from a distance and asked worriedly, "Li Xiaoming gives me the feeling that he can't fit in with the team. I always feel like he's going to leave at any moment. Without his warning, it's too dangerous here. What should we do?"

"What you're saying is nonsense. If you treated me like that, with his strength, I wouldn't be able to fit in with the team."

Zhang Jiangqiao looked at these people. They had completely forgotten about him. They used to be Captain Zhang’s followers.

He glanced at Tian Lei standing next to him, and he was still sincere: "I have a way to solve this problem. It won't be a problem even if Li Xiaoming leaves."

"Captain Zhang, what's your solution?" Everyone looked at Zhang Jiangqiao, wondering what solution he had.

The same went for the other captains; they hadn't thought of a way to replace Wang Ping'an.

"You are simply deceived by him now. His strength was not as good as ours before. He became so powerful now entirely because he killed a large number of zombies. We can actually let one person have the zombies to himself, and his strength will instantly surpass Li Xiaoming."

"As for the perception issue, it's easier to solve. With so many of us, we can just assign people to guard each window and notify everyone if anything happens. That's more useful than his perception."

"Since he can't integrate with us, we definitely can't rely on him. What happened before would bother everyone. If he stabs us in the back at a critical moment, our losses will be huge."

"We've been through what happened before, and we have a foundation of trust. We are a real team..."

Everyone felt unhappy after hearing what Zhang Jiangqiao said. This would sacrifice everyone's resources, so how could they improve their strength?

But he was not wrong. Trusting Wang Pingan was indeed not as good as trusting the people on his own team: "Captain Zhang, that person couldn't be you!"

Zhang Jiangqiao shook his head and said, "Of course not. I clearly told everyone that I must be gifted. For future considerations, I don't want to exchange my physique for the time being. I recommend Liu Li to be the one to improve his strength."

Liu Li didn't expect Zhang Jiangqiao to recommend him. He thought that he was taking advantage of the situation again and felt a little unfair.

But he reacted quickly and immediately followed behind, saying, "If you choose me to be this person, I will definitely ensure everyone's safety. You should have seen my performance before. The last time I went out, I saved several people."

Zhang Jiangqiao recommended Liu Li for this reason. Such a person will not destroy the bridge after crossing it, so everyone can rest assured.

"I believe in Captain Liu's character, but how much strength should be increased? I can't always increase it to full strength!"

Liu Li was at a loss for words at this time, so he looked to Zhang Jiangqiao for help, hoping that he could speak for him again.

Zhang Jiangqiao didn't let him down and continued, "It doesn't have to be too high. Li Xiaoming's initial Constitution was only six points. He's completed over a hundred missions, and at most, he's only increased it by four points. Captain Liu's Constitution should be seven points. A four-point increase would give him a solid advantage over Li Xiaoming. Even if he tries to backstab us in the future, there's someone who can hold him back."

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but this time was different from last time.

Last time it was a life-and-death crisis, but this time he just wanted to create another person like Li Xiaoming to suppress Li Xiaoming. He always felt a little uncomfortable.
