Returning to the camp, Li Jiong first threw the criminals into the prison cells. Although the current Order seemed to be flourishing, where there was sunlight, there would be haze. Apart from the majority of people who worked hard to make a living, there were also very few people who were lazy and gluttonous. They still relied on bullying the kind to survive.
But what was the situation now?
With Chen Feng in power, the laws in the city had been perfected. Those who did nothing and stole were all locked up in prison. In an instant, the streets became much cleaner, and even the safety factor was greatly increased.
The search in the vicinity was still ongoing.
The territory of humanity was vast, just like how there were rats and beasts in the animal world. On this land, other than the giant [Order], there were also some small forces.
Those forces hid in a closed environment and formed their own forces. Most of them rested during the day and went out at night to look for food, living like a group of real rats.
The influence of [Order] radiated outwards. Every once in a while, some forces would be discovered and merged into the huge system of [Order].
And among these discovered forces, the most valuable thing wasn't resources or population, but the number of Professionists. Among them, children were the most valuable!
The Apocalypse was merciless, destroying countless happy families. Dangers were everywhere in the wild. Most of them were adults, but there were very few children. After all, in the Apocalypse, they didn't have the ability to protect themselves. They were often trampled to death due to their weak bodies.
That was why there were so few of them.
But it was precisely because of their scarcity that they were even more valuable. [Order] had a complete set of rules, adhering to the laws left behind by the previous generation. But because of the environment, there were some changes.
Under the age of 10, they were treated like children, while those who were over 10 could choose to work. Of course, most of the work they participated in was light work, and some heavy work was still strictly forbidden!
Li Jiong was a patrol captain, in charge of guarding the three main roads. It was a relatively respectable job, but the higher the pay, the greater the responsibility. At this time, the [Order] was thriving, and everyone was working hard to move forward. Li Jiong was only 40 years old this year. During peaceful times, he was quite a fan of politics. But after the Apocalypse, all of his previous efforts disappeared. But who would have thought that the awakened Professionists, who were the first batch of people to follow Chen Feng, would coincidentally obtain their current status.
His originally closed heart was opened again. Under the circumstances where it was possible and didn't violate the laws of [Order], he naturally hoped that he could go one step further.
[Order], allowing the survivors here to live more like humans, because they had the ability to think about the future.
In a city with a population of millions, there would naturally be some outlaws. They might be disgusted with the world, or they might be evil by nature, and they would always do some illegal things. And at this time, naturally, the patrol team would be needed to stop them!
As the captain, Li Jiong had 52 members under him, among which there were five Professionists. In a sense, this was a small team with good strength. But for Li Jiong who wanted to go one step further, the number of people under him was still too little, especially the Professionists. Including himself, there were only five people, which was the most important thing to improve.
Most of the Professionists were in the Dark Department and the Blood Department. Compared to the patrol team, there was no doubt that the treatment there was better, because they became the target of the captains.
In this case, the Professionists who were newly recruited by the wild forces became the target of Li Jiong and the others!
There was no deception. After all, this was [Order]. Deliberate deception would be held accountable. Li Jiong didn't want the position he worked so hard to get to slip away from his hands. More often than not, they were more like a disguised form of picking up scraps. Relying on the fact that the other party was unfamiliar with them, they coaxed them to sign a contract with them for two years, or even longer. The salary and treatment were naturally good, in order to strengthen their small team and help them go further.
This was similar to some job fairs. Every once in a while, each department would collectively hold one. There was no coercion. Those Professionists could shop around and choose their final destination.
Li Jiong had made good preparations for today, in order to make his team stronger. But who would have thought that he would receive a mission at the last minute. When it was over, the job fair was completely over. Dozens of Professionists had been assigned, only five children were left. If no one recruited them after this round, they would be sent to a place similar to a welfare house. After a period of systematic learning, they could choose to further their studies or go out to work.
It could be said that the five Professionists left behind were a group that had been eliminated. However, since he was already here, Li Jiong was naturally unwilling to leave just like that. Therefore, he still tried to interview them to see if there were any targets he liked.
In the courtyard, five little Heavenly Bestowers were gathered. Their relatives had all died tragically in the doomsday. Even if they had talents and became Professionists that were envied by others, the pain of losing their loved ones and their incomplete nature still made them innately insecure. Therefore, when Li Jiong glanced at them, the clueless children stood there blankly, not daring to breathe.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Jiong sighed secretly. These children were simply a group of rats living in a cave. They couldn't be at the dinner table at all.
But then again …
Seeing this group of children reminded Li Jiong of his own days in the doomsday. He also didn't have enough to eat, didn't have enough to wear, and lived like a guinea pig every day, passing his days miserably.
Of course, Li Jiong had his own plans for asking to see these people. However, these people in front of him made Li Jiong extremely disappointed. He shook his head. Just as he was about to give up on that idea, a thin and small figure came into his sight.
It was a little girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. Her whole body was dark, her hair was messy like weeds, and her body was as thin as a bean sprout. Therefore, Li Jiong didn't see her at first because she was standing at the back.
Compared to the other four, her appearance and physique were not good, and even her skin was darker than the others. However, she was the only little one who didn't tremble. Compared to the others, Li Jiong admired her courage.
Li Jiong walked forward with steady steps. However, the long period of killing had made him develop a majestic murderous aura. Therefore, in the hearts of these little guys, when they looked at the person in front of them, he didn't look like a human, but more like an ancient demon god. Their little faces became paler and even broke out in cold sweat.
As a patrol member, although he didn't have to participate in terrible battles and didn't have to carry out dangerous missions like the Dark Group, because he was responsible for security, there were some requirements in terms of temperament.
