Chapter 138: The Wonders of Ability
Yan Xiao had been feeling very miserable recently.
Han Yi decided to reconvene his old team perhaps because Han Jiaojiao’s injury had impacted him greatly.
— Han Yi originally had a group of people in the south, distinct from those left by the Han Family. This southern team was cultivated in secrecy by Han Yi himself and managed by Lu Changyuan. However, they had lost contact since the apocalyptic world began, and reconvening them now was no easy task.
Fortunately, maintaining connections was something Lu Changyuan specialized in.
It was said to be about making connections, but it involved more than that. Investigating the current circumstances, personal conditions, and willingness of these people was necessary. In plain terms, it was like re-recruiting old employees. Had these old employees found better opportunities? Did they have families to support? Were they involved in any troubles? Did they have any Superpowers? ... Lu Changyuan couldn’t manage it alone, and since Yan Xiao found it troublesome, Xiao Jian joined Lu Changyuan in the effort.
As a result, Lu Changyuan assigned Yan Xiao to refurbish houses?!
It felt as if the leader asked you to clean and you complained that mopping was too tiring. Then another coworker went to mop, and seeing that you were free, the leader said, "Come and wash the toilet instead."
Refurbishing the houses involved breaking down the walls between four adjacent houses to create one large courtyard outside the five buildings. In addition, he was responsible for the wiring work within the five buildings because the frequency of power outages at the base had been increasing. To facilitate future electricity usage, they wanted to connect the electrical wires of these buildings so they could use their own diesel generators during power outages.
Then, Lu Changyuan had a sudden brainstorm and inspected the base’s training camp, deciding to transform one of the buildings into a Superpower User training facility modeled after the camp.
Although most of these tasks could be handled by external workers, someone still needed to supervise the work. In the scorching heat, without electricity or fans, watching over the construction and sporadically yelling at the workers under the blazing sun, Yan Xiao was deeply miserable.
