Chapter 94: Sending Over a Bunch of Trash

Very quickly, the Mountain Rat King understood the meaning, but it was smarter than the three had anticipated, immediately picking out fifty particularly strong and somewhat "honest-looking" Mutated Mountain Rats from the pack.

One by one, the Mountain Rats pressed their claws onto the labor contracts, and Liu Fugui and Yang Pingxi carefully recorded their characteristics while assigning them numbers.

Originally, Yang Pingqiong wanted to name them, but Liu Mu asked her: with something as complex as names, once she and the Mountain Rat King were gone, would these Mutated Mountain Rats be able to understand them?

The young girl knew she was being naive; she had spent a long time with the Mountain Rats, so she had a filter that made them seem well-behaved and clever. But even if they had undergone Mutation, the gap in intelligence between animals and humans could not be ignored.

Liu Fugui named them the "Shengli Recycling Group Sunshine Energy Branch Yang Family Town Coal Mine Transport Team"—it was long enough and detailed enough, and Liu Mu was very satisfied.

She was also satisfied with the name "Sunshine Energy"; it fit so well with her Victory Waste Acquisition Station—ah, no, it was Shengli Recycling Group now!

Equally plain and unadorned, yet.

As for the rest of the Mountain Rats moving house, Liu Mu left it to Yang Pingxi and his two good brothers to help.

However, there was one thing in the middle of this that surprised Liu Mu: Cai Zhenlong, that kid, actually didn't step forward voluntarily; he seemed to have developed some rift between himself and the other three.

Liu Mu didn't ask about such trivial matters in detail; she only had Yang Mang dig a pond for the rats on the new hilltop, then had Yang Shun help purify the water.

And from then on, besides following the training, Yang Pingxi also took on the job of liaising between the Mountain Rat pack and the mine.

Of course, Liu Mu also had the Mountain Rat King sign a contract ensuring that the Mountain Rat pack and the humans in the town would watch over and help each other, but not harm one another; at the same time, Liu Fugui publicized this point among the crowd.

The old uncle with the slicked-back hair stood on a table, waving a document in his hand, "Everyone heard clearly what was just said, right? Whoever dares to have designs on the Mutated Mountain Rat pack, first of all, we won't protect you; if the rat pack eats you, don't blame anyone."

With a few people handling these miscellaneous chores, Liu Mu had already met the soldiers who had come to provide support.

Captain Wang Pan was very dissatisfied with Liu Mu; seeing her hog all the limelight facing the rats alone, and after they, the regular troops, were sent to this broken town, she had ignored them, only appearing today.

Even Li Gang, who had come to seek aid, had left after arranging their food and lodging.

Their perfectly good team was just sitting idle like this; it was a complete waste of Barrier combat power, and at the same time, it was a clear sign that she looked down on them!

Of course, Wang Pan couldn't go find Liu Mu and Li Gang himself, so he only arranged daily training, observed the few residents in town, and then made things difficult for Luo Sanlin.

"Officer Luo, your combat quality is too poor compared to ours. Come, two hundred pull-ups now, get some good exercise."

When Liu Mu arrived, she saw a group of people surrounding Luo Sanlin as he did pull-ups, and she also heard the mockery and jeering from those people.

"See that? Officer Luo is a truly decent person. He's endured it the whole way without losing his temper; his temperament is so good, I wonder who it's for?"

Li Gang followed behind Liu Mu, having already recounted the attitudes and actions of Luo Sanlin and those people along the way.

As for himself, he knew how to deal with these old soldiers, so he hadn't been picked on.

"Who else could it be for? For me, of course," Liu Mu had seen through Li Gang's gossipy face from the start and shot him a sidelong glance, "He's like a biological brother to me, not to mention I saved his life. Understand?"

Li Gang didn't quite understand, nor did he quite believe it, but he couldn't make the Boss lose face in front of everyone, "Sister Liu Mu, you truly are a vanguard of life-saving; my apologies, my apologies!"

"I find you're better when you're pretending to be profound," Liu Mu didn't want to banter with this young man from the Northeast. Seeing Luo Sanlin's arms trembling while those people continued to heckle, she immediately twitched the corner of her mouth in a cold sneer.

Li Gang silently fell a step behind; he knew it—these old soldiers had caused the Boss to come and clean up the mess.

He thought correctly; Liu Mu called out loudly from outside the crowd, "Having a lively time, brothers?"

Without waiting for a reply, she pushed through with both hands and squeezed in.

Just as a few soldiers who had been pushed aside were surprised at who had such strength, they saw a person in a black raincoat, not much different in height from them, squeeze past.

"Who are you? Where did this little brat come from? Looking for a beating?"

"Hehehe, talking to you! Still pushing? Believe it or not, I'll slap you!"

A soldier grabbed Liu Mu's shoulder, attempting to yank her out, but before he could even see how the latter moved, his hand was shaken off.

Just as suspicion arose, Liu Mu had already arrived under the stretcher made of two broken walls and a steel pipe.

She reached out to beckon Luo Sanlin down, "Brother, what are you all doing here? It's as lively as a market full of aunties."

These words were somewhat impolite, and the soldiers looked at her with unfriendly gazes.

"Officer Luo, is this from your family? Didn't you say there were only three of you? How did another woman pop up?"

Naturally, Luo Sanlin couldn't tell these people about his relationship with Liu Mu.

As the distance closed, Liu Mu saw that he was soaked through by the rain, his complexion a greenish-pale from overexertion, his body trembling slightly, especially those arms hanging limply.

Luo Sanlin's breathing was rapid, and just as he wanted to speak, Liu Mu pressed down on his shoulder.

She wore a faint smile, looking at everyone one by one, "Don't recognize me? Yesterday, when the Sky Viper attacked, didn't we see each other? And the rat pack—I helped you block them for a while; you wouldn't have forgotten me just like that, would you?"

She pulled back her raincoat hood, revealing hair slightly longer than a buzzcut, a face with firm and deep contours, and a playfulness in her eyes that wasn't hidden in the slightest.

"You're Liu Mu?"

Wang Pan had been standing closest, intending to ruthlessly target Luo Sanlin, who in his eyes was putting on an act and kept speaking well of Liu Mu.

Now, hearing Liu Mu call Luo Sanlin "brother" and seeing her attitude, he was naturally very displeased.

"That's right, I am Liu Mu," Liu Mu looked him up and down with a naked gaze, "Are you the one Yang Shu brought in? Are you from the Special Operations Team, or just regular?"

It would have been better if she hadn't said that; the moment she did, she offended all the "big friends"—the soldiers—present.

The Special Operations Team—who didn't want to go there? But did they have the qualifications? No! Even if they risked their lives and broke their heads trying, they couldn't get in!

Their slogan was that they didn't accept trash. That's right; in the eyes of the Special Operations Team, these soldiers were no different from trash.

Wang Pan was so angry his jaw tightened; he looked Liu Mu up and down with the same gaze and snorted coldly, "A little boss like you seeks aid, and the Barrier is supposed to send the Special Operations Team? Who do you think you are?"

The mission he received was to provide rescue; although his weapons were more complete than usual when he left, he was still operating under the mindset that Liu Mu was begging them for help, so he naturally had to put on airs.

"Tsk, you sent a bunch of trash!"

Liu Mu said mercilessly, and seeing the crowd getting agitated, she raised a hand, "If you're not convinced, let's have a contest. If you can't beat me even once, you might as well head back; don't waste my food!"

She wanted to curb the arrogant spirit of these people, lest they become blinded by their own conceit!
