But he still had a fluke mentality.

Once he left the Big Camphor Tree Base, he wasn't certain he could take on this group in front of him.

Are they scared? That's because they're afraid of Li Yu and his team.

And they don't even know that Li Yu might not care about their lives at all.

He felt excited about his cleverness and wit.

This was a perfect opportunity!

An excellent chance to humiliate the opponent!

The team members behind Gao Tian saw that the group on the opposite side was motionless.

Instantly, they felt that this group seemed to have chickened out.

Hahaha.

So they stood by and watched Gao Tian beat up the opposing captain.

Their faces were full of satisfied smiles. They had several conflicts with this opposing team before.

Although it never escalated, they were frustrated.

Every time, they were overtaken by the opposing crowd.

"Good fight!"

"Brother Gao, hit him in the head!"

Behind Gao Tian, his team cheered and shouted encouragement.

A one-sided beatdown didn't count as a conflict, did it?

Gao Tian comfortably beat the opposing captain, knocking him to the ground with a punch.

The captain covered his head with both hands, curled up, protecting his stomach, lower body, and head.

Trying not to let Gao Tian hit his vital parts.

Gao Tian saw him curled into a turtle shell, lying on the ground.

A strong sense of pride welled up in him.

He kicked hard at his head, saying, "Aren't you quite capable, aren't you quite tough? Aren't you good at fighting? Little punk. To survive out here, you need guts!"

Even with two arms protecting himself, the captain was kicked so hard he spat blood.

A team member beside them saw this and couldn't hold back anymore, rushing over.

"Anzi! If you dare to make a move, I'll kill you!"

"Captain!" Anzi shouted in pain as he watched the captain he had always admired being abused like this.

What is the most painful?

It's when the person you admire is ruthlessly humiliated.

It's when your loyal belief collapses completely one day.

Anzi, who had never cried, had red eyes, his eyes filled with water mist.

The few people behind him were the same.

"I don't care anymore, might as well die!" Anzi shouted.

The other teammates also shouted, "Yeah, let us die then!"

The captain painfully said, "A bunch of idiots! We are about to save up enough points for the Extra Staff. Soon we'll be able to receive...."

Thud!

A heavy punch from Gao Tian smashed into his stomach.

Not paying attention while talking just now, he accidentally gave Gao Tian the chance to kick him in the stomach.

With powerful strength, this kick was a prepared strike from Gao Tian.

Pfft—

The captain was instantly kicked and spat blood.

Seeing this, Anzi could no longer take it, and charged over with his team members.

Protecting the captain behind them.

Anzi raised his fist to hit Gao Tian but was tightly held back by the captain lying on the ground.

"Shorty, control them!" the captain shouted loudly.

The short young man hesitated, then shouted to his teammates, "Don't make a move. If you do, the beatings the captain just endured will be for nothing. Anzi!"

After speaking, he directly stood in front of Anzi to block him.

He understood the captain's mindset best.

The captain didn't retaliate not because he feared Gao Tian.

But because if he retaliated, he might disappear from this world like Bai Tao last time, at worst.

Or, at minimum, affect their efforts to join the Extra Staff team, something they had worked long and hard for, finally saving enough points recently. Once the snow stopped, they could complete a mission and pass the Big Camphor Tree Base's assessment and review period.

They could gain a relatively secure status, just like civil servants before the Doomsday, receiving the minimum guaranteed food each month.

This Extra Staff status wasn't easy to obtain.

Because, besides having enough points, the Extra Staff would assess your character and temperament, and look for any bad records in the past.

Once they retaliated, if they left a bad impression on Li Yu's team.

All their previous efforts would be in vain.

Therefore, Shorty understood these.

He felt very sorry for the captain as well.

However, reason told him that if they retaliated now, it might soothe them instantly but could come at a great price!

....

Anzi looked at Shorty blocking him, somewhat in disbelief.

"Why?" he said angrily.

Shorty glared at him, saying, "Why? So everyone's efforts don't go to waste! Do you understand?"

"I told you, I'm willing to trade my life for it, I'll bear it alone."

"You can't bear it, listen to me!"

.....

This scene made many people around them feel emotional.

They resonated with it.

If it were them, perhaps they could endure it too.

Gao Tian also heard from their conversation that there were concerns.

He also heard that their points exchange was almost enough.

More jealous in his heart, if only they hadn't been overtaken all the time, maybe his team could soon enter the city too.

Envy, jealousy, hatred, he felt satisfied after beating them up just now.

At this moment, a sense of jealousy surged into his mind.

He waved his fist and rushed over again.

And behind him, his teammates didn't stop him either.

They were equally jealous, envious of the team in front of them.

In their eyes, if they hadn't stolen their supplies and equipment, their team would have long...

At this moment. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Suddenly, the crowd in the back started to clamor.

"You've finally come. Stop him quickly."

"Great timing. Everyone make way for them."

"Wait, why is it them coming?"

....

Even though the greenhouse was crowded, people managed to make a space two or three meters wide in the middle.

Gao Tian slowly turned his head, seeing Butcher Zhu Xiao, Guo Peng, and Xiao Hu approaching.

These people were all Extra Staff; aside from Zhu Xiao, the other two were veterans among the Extra Staff.

These Cooperative Personnel, although they weren't in a superior or subordinate relationship with the Extra Staff outside.

Although Extra Staff couldn't manage them.

However, at specific times, Extra Staff could manage them, like the last natural disaster, when Li Yu instructed these Extra Staff to manage them.

This time, he instructed the same people to be in charge.

When Gao Tian saw it was these people coming over, his heart slightly relaxed.

His expression immediately changed, saying to the three, "Brother Guo, Brother Xiao, Brother Zhu, we're just messing around among ourselves, no problem."

.....

On the other side.

Li Yu came to the monitoring room, coincidentally checking on Yutong.

He watched the entire scene from earlier.

Just now, Yutong wanted to remind Li Yu if he wanted to go over and see, but Li Yu refused.

When he saw the captain of that team desperately stopping his men from taking action, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Knowing when to act and when not to.

And at this moment.

Seeing Zhu Xiao and the others going over.

Li Yu took out the walkie-talkie, and said to Dapao, Li Tie, and He Chao from the First outer city, "Gather ten people, and meet at the 2nd greenhouse in the First outer city later."

Everyone was puzzled, not knowing what happened.

Immediately they put on their coats, hats, and masks, just about to go out.

Yutong followed and said, "I'm going too!"

Li Yu just wanted to refuse, but Yutong said, "You do your thing, I won't speak."

The chubby subordinate of Song Min, who was also watching in the monitoring room, said, "I want to go too."

Li Yu turned back and said, "Then who will watch the monitoring room?"

The chubby guy was instantly dumbfounded, "I'm not going."

"Hmm!"

Then, Li Yu and Yutong left the monitoring room.

The two braved the wind and snow, heading towards the Outer City.

Yutong hesitated, given her understanding of Li Yu, she knew he would likely act ruthlessly.

So she asked, "How are you going to deal with them? Kill them outright?"

Li Yu shook his head and said, "...."

The wind and snow were too great, Yutong didn't hear clearly, felt talking wasn't convenient now, so she didn't ask again.
