Memphis introduced the four individuals to Wallflower:"These four are the people I just found. This lady here is named Wallflower, and she deserves the most credit for this weapon collection operation. As for what they want, you can arrange that."Lionel assessed the four people briefly, then reiterated the team rules, along with the contribution system he had spent all night developing.Memphis wasn't entirely sure how these contributions would be calculated, but he was certain Lionel wouldn't dare to mess around.No one here was foolish. If their contributions didn't match reality and they reported it, Lionel would have a hard time explaining.After listening, the four members of Wallflower had a detailed understanding of the team Memphis had built.Fairness.This was the first impression.No freeloaders.This was the second impression.They understood that the days of leisurely spending money from their accounts were truly over.Especially James, who couldn't believe there would c

At home, the logistics team had prepared the meal, with four large tables set up in the yard, resembling a banquet.Since the power outage, water had become scarce. Lionel only ran the generator for over two hours daily to fill two water tanks and keep the fridge running minimally. Memphis and the others could only wash off the blood before sitting down to eat.As usual, Memphis raised his hand slightly, smiling:"Please, everyone.""Let's eat..."Today's menu included white rice, soy sauce fried chicken, beef tail stew with dried mushrooms, tuna flakes mixed with radish, and carrot pork bone soup. There were also some apples and preserved lemon water.The main combatants were served five bowls of rice and accompanying dishes, the resource gatherers received two-thirds of that, and those doing chores like cleaning, chopping wood, cooking, processing meat, or weaving nets got one-third.James looked at his meal and almost swore out loud.Before the apocalypse, if someone had served him

Sonny swallowed nervously, quickly assessing Memphis's capabilities.But he was just an ordinary man and couldn't truly gauge the strength of an extraordinary person. He only knew that his boss said extraordinary people were very powerful and terrifying, and the third leader, Third Hubert Jones, was one of them. That man could withstand bullets!Sonny's eyes shifted as he forced a smile and said:"Brother Memphis, I can't make this decision. How about this, you hand over these five people to us, and we can establish a good relationship...""Face-to-face confrontation, or go ask your boss!"Memphis cut him off sharply, his tone decisive.Sonny's mouth twitched. Since the deaths of Chief Payne and Deputy Chief Mole, he hadn't been spoken to like this.But Memphis's harsh attitude only made Sonny more aware of his strength. After hesitating, Sonny gritted his teeth and said:"Brother Memphis, we'll be back soon."Watching the fake "police" climb back into their vehicles and leave, the gr

The three Jeeps slowed down as they approached. Jarred immediately drew his gun, aimed it forward, and shouted for them to stop, eventually bringing them to a halt.Eleven burly men stepped out of the Jeeps, each dressed in black uniforms, fully armed with pistols and daggers on their waists. Two of them pointed AK74 rifles at Memphis’s group, their faces filled with hostility, ready to shoot at a command.The men parted to make way, and two figures walked forward. One was Sonny, and the other, as Memphis had learned from Dante's description, was undoubtedly Second Tristram.Second Tristram had a small, rat-like face and large, bat-like ears. His shifty eyes assessed Memphis's group's armament. When he saw Wylie among them, he hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said:"It turns out you are fellow comrades."Before the apocalypse, Wylie had been a lawless street thug. Birds of a feather flock together, so naturally, Memphis, who led Wylie, was also a bandit at heart.Memphis took t
