The moment the cafeteria handed them out, there was an uproar.

The workers in the dormitory started discussing and deliberating.

The lucky guy was messaging Master Hao in the trial area, while the stoic was nervously watching the workers' movements. He leaned over and whispered, "Boss, why the sudden move? Did you strike it rich or run into trouble?"

Li Zhi: "Something's happened. My enemy has crept over here and is going to destroy this place and kill me as well."

Disbelieving, she exclaimed, "You're kidding me!"

Li Zhi: "Are you moving or not?"

"Of course I'll move! I've already said I'll follow you for life, and I've wanted to go to Buwangwei for a long time. The mountains, the water, the waterfalls, the streams, the grass—it's like a resort! Who wouldn't want to live there?"

Li Zhi was used to being easygoing and taking things personally.

She looked at Ou Huang, wondering if he had reconnected with Hao Shi, unsure whether Ou Huang and the others would still leave with her.

After all, what the Europeans are after is safety and stability.

Her decision was very sudden. Even if we don't say that she was willing to risk her life, Ouhuang and Haoshi could definitely guess something. If they felt it was unsafe to follow her, they would most likely leave the team.

But this was not Li Zhineng's decision.

The incident happened suddenly.

Last time, Ao tried to deal with Nightwing but ended up getting humiliated. This time, he must have learned his lesson and will find a bounty hunter who is at least B-rank.

If Li Zhi were alone, he could simply hide in the Emerald Mountains and the airship.

Even an A-level team couldn't handle her, let alone a B-level team.

But she wasn't alone.

As a leader, you must be responsible for and protect your team.

If one only cares about one's own safety and disregards the lives of employees, one will inevitably suffer a backlash in the future, both morally and financially.

Only by sharing joys and sorrows can a loyal team be cultivated.

Ten minutes passed.

Li Zhi raised his hand: "Quiet."

The discussion gradually subsided until it all fell silent.

Li Zhi: "Those who are leaving with me, take a step forward. Those who are receiving severance pay, stay where you are. I'll repeat myself again: no matter what, this place will be demolished, the barrier will be removed, and no one can live here anymore. Otherwise, you'll be responsible for your own life or death. Alright, you can move out now."

Of the nearly two hundred people, four-fifths walked out.

The remaining one-fifth remained in place.

Li Zhi was not surprised by this result.

Tan Sheng Pass sends her employee performance reviews every week. Not only that, she also likes to leave objective evaluations of the employees she observes at the end of the documents.

Li Zhi would watch it whenever he had time, and he knew everything about the cloud mine.

More than half of these one-fifths were recruited before and after the extreme cold.

They proved their ability to survive on their own by getting through the first three days of training.

The severance pay given by Li Zhi was neither too much nor too little. Combined with their wages for the past few days, the minimum was 10 silver and the maximum was 1 gold.

It's determined based on the length of time they work here.

According to official data, even the lowest amount of 10 silver is already the median savings of players who are surviving alone.

When the severance pay was distributed, those who remained were stunned:

"1 gold!"

"I never thought I'd see gold coins in my lifetime!"

"I can afford a high-end airship now!"

The workers who took a step forward were also somewhat envious:

"Wow, that's a lot of severance pay! I'm thinking of leaving too."

"Are you an idiot? The boss can give so much severance pay to those who leave, why would he mistreat you, the one who stayed?"

"...Oh, right."

More than one person has come to this realization.

Some of those who decided to leave already showed signs of regret.

But Li Zhi doesn't intend to give anyone a second chance.

She had the lucky ones distribute the teleportation stones, and then went to the dormitory area, which she hadn't lived in many times, to bring all the things she had prepared. She also went to the warehouse to check everything again, making sure that everything was taken, before teleporting the 152 people to Buwangwei.

This is the first time the workers have come here, so they must not forget the danger.

But this wasn't the first time they had encountered Bu Wangwei.

—At that time, the Sky Canopy GGs saw it whether they were working on the ship or resting in the dormitory.

But when you actually arrive at this place, you see the lush green lawns, the mountains that are neither too high nor too low but beautiful and have powerful waterfalls, and the winding streams...

It still drew gasps of amazement from many people.

Li Zhi handed them over to Bai Ge for help in settling them in, and then returned to Yunkuang No. 1.

The Europeans are still here.

Some of the workers who decided to leave prepared to go down the mountain, but many others returned to their dormitories and put their previously packed belongings back in place.

Li Zhi had already guessed this outcome. He reminded everyone again, telling them to leave within half an hour, and then went up to the terrace.

Teacher Hao is back too.

Despite her injuries, she didn't seem to care. Seeing Li Zhi approach, she asked directly, "Can you tell us what happened?"

The reason for not explaining the specific situation beforehand was to avoid causing panic among the workers.

But it's unnecessary for Hao Shi and the others.

Li Zhi briefly explained the situation, and Hao Shi and the others fell silent.

She wasn't in a hurry.

After removing the barrier, Li Zhi glanced at the courtyard, which had been decorated by the workers to create a lively atmosphere, and the ice walls that still had some parts remaining even after the extreme cold had passed. He felt a sense of emotion.

Human resilience and romance are always revealed in dire circumstances.

Fortunately, the workers also pulled up the vegetables and flowers.

It won't be such a pity if it's blown to ruins later.

They started their patrol from the cafeteria, assigning each task to a specific person.

From the first floor to the second floor, rooms were opened and closed one by one. People were reminded as they went. Some left, while others were unwilling to leave.

Following Li Zhi's instructions, they spoke politely the first time, urged each other to pack their belongings the second time, and then simply picked them up and threw them onto the flying boat to send them down the mountain.

Seeing that it was time and that the Ouhuangs hadn't made a decision yet, Li Zhi said, "Let me borrow your flying boat for a bit."

The lucky one: "The cockpit is open. I unlocked the captain's privileges before, so you can just go and open it."

"You guys come up here too, think about it from up there."

The airship slowly set sail, flying to the mid-air, to the position where it had once confronted the official fleet.

Li Zhi stood on the deck, set up the cannon barrel he had borrowed from Perth, and aimed it at this former base.

Without hesitation, a single shot blast reduced it to ruins.

The camera function on the panel captured this moment permanently.

Do not break or stand.

But the feeling is always different when you're forced to break the deadlock versus when you actively try to do so.

So, it's Ao, right?

She originally only wanted to focus on the exchange and the trade conference, and didn't intend to delve into the mess between her, Yi, and the leader of the Beast Alliance. Now she's decided to investigate thoroughly at all costs.
