Chapter 248 - Reminding Fatty Xu

 Zhang Yi made a phone call over, and Fatty Xu ran his ass over.

 He was now treating Zhang Yi as his own big brother, and did everything he was told.

 Because every time Zhang Yi asked him to help, he would give him very generous rewards.

 It was either pillows, hand puppets, or a whole bunch of snacks.

 And what about him?

 Just need to follow over and help clean up the snow and it would be ok.

 The most crucial thing was that Zhang Yi was overly cautious in everything he did.

 Fatty Xu didn't need to worry about safety at all.

 Where could he find such a good boss?

 Zhang Yi drove the car to the riverside, and Fatty Xu ran over with a grunt and got into the passenger side.

 "Whew, it's still warm in the car!"

 Fatty Xu unzipped his zipper and blew on the air conditioner!

 "Boss, where are we going this time?"

 Zhang Yi looked at him and said, "To the chemical plant to get something."

 "Alright, just do as you say!"

 As soon as Fatty Xu heard that it was a chemical plant, he lost interest.

 Zhang Yi started the car, and the snowmobile moved forward at an even speed in the midst of the heavy snow.

 While driving the car, Zhang Yi chatted with Fatty Xu about the discovery of the members of the West Mountain Organization nearby.

 "This side has been targeted by the big organization. You Xu Jia Town is such an obvious target, so you have to be more careful in the future. Lest you get caught in the crossfire!"

 Zhang Yi reminded him.

 Fatty Xu scratched his head, "Big organization? I didn't notice anything unusual around Xu Jia Town."

 When Xie Huanhuan and Liu Ziyan went over, Fatty Xu was sleeping at home with a hugging pillow.

 And Xu Dongtang and the others had deliberately hidden his presence, so he was truly unaware of it.

 "It's best if there's no movement."

 Zhang Yi said.

 Fatty Xu giggled.

 "Boss, I'd say you're too careful! Our Xu Jia Town is full of farmers and fishermen, what's so great about it that it's worth someone's thoughts?"

 Zhang Yi looked at the big-hearted Fatty Xu and couldn't help but shake his head.

 "But your Xu Clan Town has quite a lot of stored grain right?"

 "Are you really stupid or fake? Don't you understand how important food is in the midst of the end times?"

 Fatty Xu sniffed, and only then did the silly smile on his face slightly tighten.

 "Our Xu Clan Town does have the habit of storing grain. But with over a thousand people in our town, it's not that easy for anyone to come and rob us of our grain."

 "The average person would have to run away in fear when they see our numbers, right?"

 Zhang Yi drove the car while methodically explaining to him.

 "Like I said, ordinary civic organizations are not enough to fear right now. To us Inhumans, ordinary civilians can hardly pose a threat."

 "But what if it's a big organization with a strong armed force?"

 Fatty Xu thought for a moment and replied, "China has such strict control over weapons. Those who have weapons in their hands now are in the minority."

 "As for a powerful armed force, it must be an official organization as well!"

 "I don't believe that they would go after a group of ordinary people like Xu Jia Town."

 Zhang Yi's brows lowered, some words reaching his lips but he didn't know how to say them.

 He was only able to change his perspective to help Fatty Xu analyze.

 "But the problem is that, for example, the major organizations in Haihai City are already in tatters. Fatty, all the major organizations are now also fighting openly for themselves to stay alive."

 "There is no one who can represent the officialdom. You can even understand that they are not regular armies, but private armies. Understand?"

 "Since everyone is fighting to stay alive, then at a certain point, there is not the slightest bit of face or propriety to speak of."

 "If one day, they don't have enough food to eat. Xu Jia Town is a huge granary that can be plundered by them at will-the high-spirited term is levy."

 "At that time, what can you guys do?"

 Fatty Xu also felt the gravity of the problem after Zhang Yi's lecture.

 He crossed his hands tangled together, his heart in turmoil.

 "Boss, what should I do if I really encounter that situation?"

 Fatty Xu was very timid and was most afraid of running into trouble.

 Zhang Yi glanced at him.

 Fatty Xu's ability was to manipulate ice and snow.

 Although his single attack ability was not very powerful, his group battle effect was very powerful and could attack or defend.

 If something really happened in Xu Jia Town, he still hoped that Fatty Xu would survive.

 "If you're really scared, you can move to Cloud Que Manor. The houses next door to me are empty, freeing up a set for you isn't a problem."

 "As for food and heating, I can also help you out. No worries for you."

 Fatty Xu was a useful talent, so naturally, Zhang Yi would not treat him poorly.

 However, Fatty Xu hesitated and did not open his mouth to agree.

 "What will the people in the village do if I ... leave?"

 After all, that place was the village he grew up in, a village whose villagers were related to him and were all relatives.

 Instead of saying that he couldn't leave them behind, it would be better to say that Fatty Xu didn't have the courage to escape from the collective.

 Because in a place with many people, cowardly people could have a huge sense of security.

 Zhang Yi smiled faintly, "Suit yourself, you decide this matter yourself. I'm also just saying out a possibility that things might not necessarily go to the worst."

 Zhang Yi would not force himself on anyone.

 Having Fatty Xu was a boost for him, but without him, he was also capable of dealing with incoming enemies.

 The car drove to Tianhai City's largest chemical plant shortly afterward.

 The duo of Zhang Yi and Fatty Xu teamed up, one responsible for clearing the snow and the other responsible for collecting the chemical materials.

 The cooperation between the two was very smooth, and soon after, the entire chemical plant was looted.

 Based on the principle of not taking anything, as long as it was something that could be taken away, Zhang Yi stuffed it all into the foreign space.

 Including small and medium-sized machinery and equipment that could be taken away, as well as various experimental equipment in the laboratory.

 After collecting the supplies, Zhang Yi sent Fatty Xu back.

 Before leaving, naturally, he could not help but give Fatty Xu some food, as well as his favorite precious artifacts.

 "For the next period of time, I probably won't contact you out again. Find me through the phone if you have any problems, and you should be more careful yourself."

 Before parting, Zhang Yi meaningfully reminded Fatty Xu of a few words.

 This was because he knew that once the people from the West Mountain Organization launched a counterattack against him, then the near-by Xu Jia Town would probably be implicated as well.

 He had given Fatty Xu a chance, and Fatty Xu had not grasped it, so what happened after that could only depend on him.

 Fatty Xu hugged a large pile of things, his chubby face smiled.

 "Uh-huh, okay boss!"

 Just as he was planning to leave, Zhang Yi made it a point to say, "Fatty. If there really comes a day when the Western Mountain Organization or any other organization comes to attack me. You and the villagers of Xu Jia Town can choose to remain neutral."

 "But in case I find out that you guys chose to help them against me. Then guess what I will do?"

 Zhang Yi had a smile on his face, but Fatty Xu shivered.

 "Boss, it won't happen, I will never betray you!"

 Zhang Yi smiled and patted his shoulder, "It's just a joke, don't take it too seriously! I know you won't betray me."

 After saying that, he got into the car and took off.
