Chapter 32 Deterrence
Chapter 32 Deterrence
After breakfast, Chen Hao assigned new production tasks to the blacksmith shop.
"Make 18 arrows, 5 longswords, and 2 longbows."
It used 52 units of iron and 120 units of wood.
All the wood has been used up, and there are 334 units of iron left.
"Liu Wei, your task today is a bit heavy. You need to cut down at least ten trees and then transport them to this office."
"Is it possible?"
"We guarantee the mission will be completed."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wei quickly nodded in response.
"Very good," Chen Hao said, patting Liu Wei on the shoulder with satisfaction.
Afterwards, Chen Hao asked Xu Zhen to continue watching the house.
Xu Zhen was with three people, two men and one woman.
The four men had knives and guns in their hands.
"Remember, if anyone tries to break down the door, you have weapons, so don't be afraid."
"If the enemy outnumbers us, throw a long spear down below. Our men will see it and rush up to help immediately."
"Do you understand?"
Chen Hao gave instructions.
"clear."
Xu Zhen and the other three nodded repeatedly.
Afterwards, Chen Hao led the others downstairs.
The stairwell was still crowded.
But everyone looked at Chen Hao and his group with a shocked expression.
The reason is simple: most of Chen Hao's group were carrying weapons.
Compared to the wooden sticks they were carrying off the tables and chairs, the difference was enormous.
"How did they do it?"
This question has crossed the minds of many people.
"Excuse me, where did you get so many weapons?"
Someone stopped one of the people in Chen Hao's group and asked.
"No comment."
The person who was being pulled shook their head, brushed the other person's hand away, and continued walking downstairs.
Those who stopped him didn't dare to act recklessly.
After all, the other party had a knife.
Those who had already formed teams but were struggling to find suitable weapons for hunting envied the weapons in Chen Hao's group.
Envy, jealousy, and other emotions welled up in my heart.
Soon, Chen Hao and his group arrived at the first floor.
On the first floor, a water cart was placed conspicuously.
Shen Mo and a group of people from his company surrounded the waterwheel, preventing others from getting close.
In addition, Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu, and others were waiting nearby.
When they saw Chen Hao and his group approaching, they all went forward to greet them.
Then, it was seen that most of Chen Hao's group were armed.
One by one, they couldn't help but be surprised.
"Brother Chen, how come you suddenly have so many weapons?"
Zhou Wu asked.
Before Chen Hao could speak, Zhou Wen slapped his younger brother on the head: "You're so talkative."
Zhou Wu was not angry at all after being hit by his own brother. He could only touch his head and stop talking.
Chen Hao nodded to Zhou Wen, then looked at Shen Mo.
"The waterwheel is here; please inspect it."
Shen Mo said to Chen Hao.
"OK."
"Qin Feng".
"exist."
"Go and get it checked."
"Yes, Brother Chen."
Qin Feng sealed the tape, so it was only right that he should inspect it.
"No problem, Brother Chen."
"it is good."
"It's a pleasure working with you."
Chen Hao shook hands with Shen Mo.
"It's a pleasure working with you."
Shen Mo replied.
He glanced again at the weapons in the hands of the people in the group behind Chen Hao, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
Then he left with his people.
Like Chen Hao's team, Shen Mo's team was divided into two groups: one responsible for hunting and the other for collecting firewood.
After Shen Mo left, Chen Hao instructed Zhao Long to distribute the weapons he had specially kept to Zhou Wen and the other four.
Zhou Wen and Yuan Luo were carrying axes; they were the two strongest.
Zhou Wu, Zhu Zhen, and Fang Zheng were holding wooden sticks.
Although wooden sticks and sticks look similar, there are significant differences between them.
The wooden stick is tougher and more flexible; getting hit by it is not pleasant.
"This is a temporary allocation for you. When you become full members, you will have better weapons and equipment."
Chen Hao addressed the five people.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
When the five men received the weapons, they quickly expressed their gratitude.
Then, while playing with it, he pondered how to become a full member.
"Boss Chen."
Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
Chen Hao looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Meiya.
She led a group of women and walked towards Chen Hao.
They were even more attractive than Chen Hao and the others.
Along the way, countless men stared at them with shining eyes.
Some of them already had a hint of malice in their eyes.
In an unregulated world, humans would rapidly transform into beasts.
"What's going on with you?"
Chen Hao frowned as he looked at Jiang Meiya.
Last night, a group of people ran to the entrance of our company and tried to break in.
"Luckily, there were many of us, and we worked together to throw things away, which temporarily drove those people away."
Jiang Meiya recounted her experience from the previous night, her eyes bloodshot, clearly indicating she hadn't slept well.
"You're right. It's only been a few days, and some people have already started to cross moral lines."
"If those people had broken in last night, it's hard to imagine what would have happened."
Jiang Meiya said with some lingering fear.
"What are you planning to do?"
After hearing Jiang Meiya's story, Chen Hao asked...
"I want to take them and seek refuge with you."
After Jiang Meiya finished speaking, she stared intently at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao was already mentally prepared, and his expression remained calm as he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't agree."
"really."
Jiang Meiya's face showed disappointment, but this answer was also within her expectations.
"I'm planning to form a hunting party. Could you let us follow behind you and pick up some of the prey you don't want?"
This is Jiang Meiya's true purpose.
She had figured it out: if they didn't become strong themselves, their fate would likely be very tragic.
"That's no problem."
Chen Hao nodded: "But we can't get too close and interfere with our hunting."
"clear."
Jiang Meiya nodded quickly.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream rang out.
"What do you want to do?"
It was the group of women that Jiang Meiya brought who made the sound.
"Of course I want to do it."
As a lewd voice rang out, laughter erupted from the surrounding crowd, eager to witness the spectacle.
Chen Hao looked over.
"You bastard."
The other women pointed at the man and cursed.
"I'm an asshole, so what? Come and hit me."
Men are fearless because they have something to rely on.
"Hmph, there are no police here. Sooner or later, I'll have you all on top of me and give you a good beating..."
Before the man could speak, an arrow grazed the crowd and struck him precisely in the head.
An arrow pierced his head, spraying a cloud of black and white mixture from the back of his head.
This arrow, like an invisible hand, silenced the laughter of the crowd and the shouts of the women.
"Don't do that in front of me again."
Chen Hao's voice came through.
At this moment, some people remembered how terrifying Chen Hao was.
They all retreated in fear, keeping their distance from Chen Hao and his group.
The others, witnessing Chen Hao kill someone for the first time, felt a surge of fear and stepped back.
In an instant, a large open space was cleared around Chen Hao.
"Such ruthless methods."
Liu Xuanyu, watching this scene from the crowd, was deeply moved.
If it were him, he couldn't remain calm after killing someone.
"It's best to avoid provoking this person if possible."
"I didn't expect him to be so amazing."
Lu Song, the man who once traded a blue iron card for a tiger whip with Chen Hao, was holding a woman with a serious expression.
The woman in his arms at this moment was no longer the same one as before.
"This," Jiang Meiya covered her mouth with both hands and quickly looked away, not daring to look any longer.
"So decisive, so ruthless."
She glanced at Chen Hao out of the corner of her eye, and seeing his calm expression, she couldn't help but make this assessment in her mind.
At that moment, she felt both fear and an inexplicable excitement.
