Chapter 3385: Chapter 3377: Turmoil at the Shangqing Palace
"Your thinking is becoming more and more divergent."
"Just guessing." Lin Yi said with a smile:
"After all, this is a logically sound deduction."
"Then tell me, how did the natives on the island go extinct?"
"Apocalyptic flood." Lin Yi said:
"The reason for destruction in myths all over the world is always the apocalyptic flood."
"Apocalyptic flood..."
"These things are really becoming more and more chaotic."
"Who says they’re not? There isn’t direct evidence yet to prove these things; it’s just guesswork."
"Focus on the present."
Liang Xianghe lit a cigarette, and the smoke drifted in the air.
For a moment, Lin Yi saw a trace of melancholy in Liang Xianghe’s eyes.
"I hope that before I step down or before I die, I can lay a solid foundation for the Central Guards Brigade."
"Don’t say that, if you leave, who will take care of me?"
"Relax, as long as I’m alive, no one will dare to touch you." Liang Xianghe said:
"Even if I really die, you still have Uncle Lu."
"Uncle Lu treats me well, but it’s not the same as being by your side."
"Stop making it sound like I’m going to die tomorrow." Liang Xianghe said:
"Living a few more years isn’t a problem."
"Then we need to formulate a basic strategy now."
Lin Yi looked at Liang Xianghe seriously, "We’ve reached a very dangerous moment; if we change, there’s progress; if not, it’s death."
Liang Xianghe held his cigarette and was silent for a moment.
"First, tell me your idea."
"Expand recruitment! This has to be carried out." Lin Yi said:
"The current focus of tasks cannot be entirely concentrated on the island; worldwide, there might be remnants of their things, which requires a lot of manpower."
"Secondly, we’re still lacking a bit in high-level talent training, moreover, there must be folk experts all over the country, like Zhang Long before, about these people, special recruitment can be made."
"Increase the training intensity of existing personnel; self-combat capability must be elevated to another level."
Liang Xianghe nodded frequently, then extinguished the cigarette butt, saying:
"Indeed, there are folk experts, but such people only make up a small portion, most of them are born in those illustrious families, you should know why they risk their lives to come to the Central Guards Brigade."
Lin Yi silently pondered.
Most people join the Central Guards Brigade with pure motives, aiming to let their families achieve class transcendence and advance to a higher level in their fields.
But resources are limited, if recruitment is truly expanded, then the resources allocated to each person will become even less.
Therefore, the attractiveness of the Central Guards Brigade will be greatly reduced.
At that time, the willingness to join the Central Guards Brigade will significantly decrease, eventually reaching a balance.
"Earlier, you didn’t want to recruit that person named Sun Xiangtian, it’s because of this reason, right?"
Liang Xianghe nodded, "Central Guards Brigade doesn’t need people with unsteady wills."
"But the recruitment expansion still has to continue, it just depends on how far it goes." Lin Yi said:
"Everything is fate, but we must squeeze out all the hidden energy."
After saying this, Lin Yi looked at Liang Xianghe seriously.
"Old man, at this point, it’s time to be relentless, if there is still room for retreat, it is not favorable for us."
"I’ll pass this matter down."
Lin Yi saw Liang Xianghe’s unprecedentedly serious expression.
"Old man, there are some things I’m very aware of; I just haven’t said it. Our nation has its own characteristics and habits, preferring to leave room for retreat to avoid falling into an abyss. I know doing so will attract more wolves and tigers, setting their sights on you. So, whatever choice you make, I will unconditionally support you."
"It’s enough that you have this heart; I didn’t mistake you." Liang Xianghe said with a smile:
"Go back, I’m a bit tired now and need to take a nap."
Lin Yi nodded and helped Liang Xianghe to the bedroom.
But as he left, he said in a low voice:
"I can kill enemies outside, I can also deal with traitors within; I can help you shoulder some things."
"Go ahead, close the door on your way out."
Lin Yi smiled, left Liang Xianghe’s house.
Back at the Liang family, the whole family had dinner together.
The next morning, Mi Li sent Lin Yi to the airport, but instead of returning to Zhong Hai, he went to Longhu Mountain.
Returning again, Lin Yi found the scenic area was more bustling than he imagined.
The number of visitors was even more than when he was there.
When he arrived at Longhu Mountain, he found someone still collecting entrance tickets at the door.
In Lin Yi’s memory, they didn’t collect entrance tickets individually in the past.
The scenic area collected them separately, then shared some with them; mainly earning incense money.
Lin Yi rubbed his chin and muttered to himself:
"Zhang Youfu, that cunning bastard, is becoming more crafty."
Lin Yi wasn’t stingy, spent 60 to buy a ticket.
But upon entering, he found something unusual.
All the Daoist priests inside were unfamiliar faces, none of whom he knew.
"Could there have been expand recruitment, recruiting newcomers?"
Lin Yi muttered a sentence and didn’t think much of it.
Now so many visitors, recruiting newcomers was indeed logical.
Zhang Youfu could make a big profit again.
Following the remembered route, Lin Yi went to the Book Storage Pavilion.
Just as he was about to push the door to enter, he was interrupted by a voice behind him.
"What are you doing here? This place is not open to the public, leave quickly."
Turning around, he saw a young Daoist priest.
His expression was slightly impatient.
"I’m not allowed to come here?" Lin Yi looked at the young Daoist and said:
"You’re new here, you don’t know who I am, right?"
The expression on the Daoist priest’s face changed from impatience to disgust.
"Whether I’m new or not has nothing to do with you, even if you paid for the ticket, you can’t come here."
"Fine, I’ll go find Zhang Youfu, you go about your business."
"Who’s Zhang Youfu? There’s no such person here."
"He’s the host here, you don’t know?"
"I came last month, never heard of him."
This time, it’s Lin Yi who was puzzled.
Regardless of when you’re here, Zhang Yongfu is the boss here, it’s impossible not to know him.
"Li Yongnian then?"
"No such person either." The Daoist said:
"Stop acting crazy here, leave quickly, or I’ll call the police."
Lin Yi furrowed his brow, feeling something was off.
Prepared to make a call to inquire.
Just at this moment, Lin Yi saw a group of people walking towards him.
The leading person was a chubby man, wearing glasses, with a protruding belly, hands behind his back, followed by a group of people.
"President Liu, you’re here."
