When Lin An returned to the camp.
The sky was already bright.
In order to prevent the mutated animals from approaching and causing unnecessary panic.
After Lin An got closer, he jumped down from a height of about twenty meters.
The eyes of the soldiers on guard outside widened in shock. Even the rumor that Lin An had beaten Terence to the ground in a single second yesterday was already known by almost everyone.
However, when the soldiers saw everything with their own eyes, they still felt a little shocked and shouted in their hearts that it was ridiculous.
After entering the camp, almost all the survivors were awake. They were just like what Lin An had seen before. Most of them were sitting at the entrance with nothing to do, and their eyes were dull.
A small number of survivors tried to help, but most of them chose to lie down.
In a corner, the three of them were playing cards against each other, and there were more than thirty people watching.
One could imagine how lost and bored they were every day.
On the contrary, some children were running around excitedly. They could play with a piece of grass on the ground very happily.
Lin An didn't even reach the command center's tent when he saw Terence squatting by the side of the road with bandages wrapped around his hands. He was pulling out weeds in boredom when he saw Lin An arrive.
He first instinctively shrank back, then hurriedly put on a sunny smile."Brother Lin! You're back!"
"Brother Lin?" Lin An couldn't help but laugh.
Terence smiled awkwardly.”
"I just heard them saying that you're amazing everywhere, and then I feel that I'm very strong. I feel that you're just a boastful person, so"
Terence did not know how to explain himself. He told him everything. Yesterday, he lay in his tent in pain and thought for a long time.
In the end, no matter how Terence thought about it, he couldn't imagine himself defeating Lin An.
His own reaction speed and physical fitness were already ridiculously high, yet Lin An was able to keep up with his speed completely. Terence even suspected that Lin An had a similar special ability.
No, it couldn't be described as keeping up. To be precise, it was crushing.
Terence still couldn't forget the calm expression on Lin An's face that he had seen in slow motion.
There was also that immense and irresistible power.
"It's okay. In the future, I'll do things down-to-earth. I'm not a petty person.”
Lin An paused for a moment before smiling dangerously.""I believe you're not a petty person, right?”
Terence immediately felt his hair stand on end. He felt as if he was being stared at by a monster and hurriedly stood up.
"Of course not! Brother Lin, don't misunderstand. I'm not a vengeful person!”
Terence explained anxiously. He had to be anxious. Lin An probably had the final say in the colony now. If he lacked a sparring partner, would he really have to go and get beaten up every day?
As for the idea of running away, Terence had no intention of doing so at all.
The colony had saved his life, and now he was running away. What kind of man was he?
Moreover, he didn't know where he would go to survive if he escaped. It felt better to stay here.
Lin An smiled as he retracted his Mind Reader ability. Terence didn't seem to harbor any hatred towards him at all. Instead, he seemed to admire him?
"Alright, got it." Lin An retracted his gaze and continued walking toward the command center.
Terence followed behind him obediently, still mumbling,"Brother Lin, I always thought that I was the most powerful person in the world. I didn't expect you to be so powerful.”
"Do you have any special training methods? A hundred push-ups every day?”
"Or do those monsters have some kind of crystal core in their heads that Evolvers can absorb to become stronger?”
"Or should I say…"
Lin An didn't expect Terence to be such a chatterbox.
When she saw him yesterday, she thought he was a troublemaker when she saw his unruly appearance.
Looking at him now, he was completely a hothead who had never been beaten up after being arrogant. After being beaten up, he had returned to his original appearance.
"Talent." Lin An only used two words to quell Terence's curiosity.
Lin An gave a few more suggestions when he saw the look on his face.""Abilities can be developed continuously. It depends on yourself. For example, your reaction speed is very fast, perhaps even faster than mine.”
"But is it because your reaction speed is good, or do you have some kind of acceleration ability?”
"Can you use this acceleration ability on your movements to make them faster?”
"Can we develop other ways to use spiritual power?”
After a few questions from Lin An, Terence was suddenly enlightened, confused, and lost in thought.
After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said sincerely,"Thank you."
Lin An glanced at him and smiled.”
"Brother Lin, you don't understand. There's no one here to discuss this with me. Some ordinary people are envious of me, and some are jealous of me. They don't really make friends with me.”
Terence sighed." I used to rely on my instincts to use my abilities. No wonder there's such a huge gap between you and me."”
Terence suddenly felt a little ashamed. Previously, he had been complacent just by relying on his ability, thinking that he was the number one expert from the bottom of a well.
On the other hand, a truly powerful person like Lin An was still constantly thinking of making himself stronger and developing more abilities.
Perhaps it was because of this that he was so vulnerable?
Lin An cast a glance at Terence before retracting his gaze. Terence seemed to be a little naive.
She was really afraid that he would kowtow to the ground and call her master.
Fortunately, they arrived at the command center very quickly. There were at least 20 people gathered in the tent.
Cheng Peng, Jiang Qingxue, and the others were among them.
However, Song Ne was still nowhere to be seen.
At the end of the long table in the tent, Song Ne's seat was empty. Cheng Peng sat beside him, wearing sunglasses. His face was expressionless, and no emotions could be seen.
Lin An is here."
Someone reminded him in a low voice.
Cheng Peng hurriedly stood up, a forced smile hanging on his cold face." Lin An, you're here."
Lin An grunted in acknowledgment and walked to the seat of honor that originally belonged to Song Ne without a care in the world.
After patting Cheng Peng on the shoulder, Lin An sat down.
His gaze was sharp, and his expression was cold as he said directly,"I know that you have heard something, whether it is about me or Song Ne.”
" But time is of the essence. Let's save the sadness for late at night. Right now, we need to get the entire colony to move.”
"Song Ne said last night that I would temporarily take over the command of the colony. I accepted it.”
After Lin An finished speaking, he observed the expressions of the people below him. Some of them looked indifferent, some of them looked disappointed, and some of them seemed to have a grudge against him.
It was probably because he was Song Ne's former confidant.
Lin An knocked on the table. Mind Reader was on high alert, and he was able to sort out all the complicated thoughts in his surroundings.
After making a quick judgment, he already knew who he could use and who he could not.
Lin An felt that Mind Reader's purple talent wasn't any weaker than his golden talent when it came to employing people.
At least it would save him a lot of unnecessary time.
In the apocalypse, time was life.
"If you have any objections, you can say it now. I won't mention it now. In the future, if anyone disobeys me on the surface or doesn't work hard, causing the plan I designated and the assigned work to be incomplete, I will draw up a punishment regulation.”
"The punishment includes, but is not limited to, deduction of resources, penalty of working hours, demotion of position, and the most serious punishment is expulsion from the colony.”
As soon as Lin An finished speaking, a man who seemed to be displeased with him raised his hand.
"Speak." Lin An looked at him and said concisely.
" I don't think this is in line with the procedure," the man said loudly." There's no official transfer order, and there's no official handover procedure. More importantly, I think Mr. Lin lacks qualifications.”
" I don't think I can accept handing over the colony that we worked so hard to build to a stranger.”
After he finished speaking, he added expressionlessly,""This is my personal opinion. I hope I didn't offend you.”
" Alright." Lin An nodded and looked at the crowd." Is there anyone else with similar thoughts?"”
One or two people hesitated for a moment before raising their hands.
Lin An nodded again and asked the person who had opposed him at the beginning,""Then who do you think should sit here?”
That person was stunned. Then, he hesitated for a moment before saying," I think Captain Cheng Pengcheng can take over this position temporarily. He's experienced and has contributed a lot to our camp. He also understands us well enough. I trust him too.”
Lin An turned to look at Cheng Peng.
Cheng Peng said expressionlessly,""I support Lin An as the temporary manager of the colony.”
"I will do everything I can to assist him in managing the colony. At the same time, I will also play a supervisory role. Therefore, I hope that everyone can accept some unnecessary thoughts.”
Cheng Peng looked at the person he loved and expressed his support for Lin An in two sentences.
At the same time, Cheng Peng continued," Times are different now. I hope that you can cast aside your past views on qualifications and connections."”
"In the current situation, ability is everything.”
" And I believe that Lin An has sufficient capabilities. At the very least, he's stronger than me.”
After he finished speaking, he fell silent again.
Lin An nodded and waved his hand." That's it then. Those who agree with Cheng Peng, please sit down."”
" Whether I'm qualified or not will be proven by my performance and ability later. But right now, we don't have much time to wrangle, have meetings, and discuss.”
"We have to complete some basic work before the other colonies arrive to avoid chaos.”
"If you don't want to work, I won't ask you to stay. You can leave now.”
After Lin An finished speaking, the person who had initially objected to Lin An only cast a disappointed glance at Cheng Peng before turning around and leaving.
The other two who expressed their agreement hesitated for a while before finally sitting down obediently.
Lin An looked around. Even though some people were suspicious of him, he couldn't help it. To a certain extent, he lacked experience.
If it wasn't for his extraordinary personal strength and the things he had done recently, he would have accumulated a lot of reputation.
With his status, he was not qualified to participate in management matters at all.
Not to mention being the leader of a colony.
But it didn't matter. Just like what was said before, in the apocalypse, ability was everything.
"Alright, in that case, let's get to work.”
Lin An didn't waste any more time on pleasantries. Instead, he swiftly began to redistribute the tasks.
"Cheng Peng will continue to be the security captain, responsible for the overall security of the camp, including the management of the soldiers.”
Lin An's words made many people heave a sigh of relief. Cheng Peng was still one of their own in their hearts. Only with military power in hand could they feel at ease.
"Yin Xiaoxiao, you go to the logistics department. You will have the authority of the deputy department head and assist the current logistics department head.”
After Lin An finished speaking, he looked at Yin Xiaoxiao, who was at a loss for what to do. He smiled and said,""No one is more suitable to stay in the logistics department than you. Other than that, you can also go and see what the people in the colony are lacking.”
There was a hidden meaning in Lin An's words. Although Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't understand what he meant, her strength was that she was obedient.
She would listen to whatever Lin An said, so she nodded obediently.""I will work hard."
"I hope that you can help these ordinary survivors get back on their feet.”Lin An reminded him, but he didn't say anything else.
In fact, he really hoped that the girls could seize this opportunity and quickly learn management experience. In the future, when they arrived at Lonely Boat Island, they could immediately take up their posts.
What better time to learn management and improve?
"Jiang Qingxue, you and Old Cheng will be in charge of security.”
Lin An looked at Jiang Qingxue, and she naturally accepted this without any objections.
"Watch and learn more, especially think about how to coordinate the various posthumans to work together in the future."”
Jiang Qingxue was quick-witted and instantly thought of the reason for his arrangement.
Does he want me to be in charge of the security of Lonely Boat Island like Cheng Peng?
She looked thoughtfully at Yin Xiaoxiao, then at Lu Yao. She had a little understanding of why Lin An had suddenly taken on such a strong leadership position.
Perhaps Lin An was also accumulating experience. He also planned to use this opportunity to become more outstanding so that he could perform better in the construction of the Lonely Boat Island Base.
She had to work hard. She couldn't be left behind by him! Jiang Qingxue!
She silently encouraged herself.
"Lu Yao, follow me."
Lin An added when he saw the strange looks in the girls 'eyes.
"Lu Yao is quick-witted, and her thoughts are changeable. She is also the one who is best at dealing with people.”
Lu Yao nodded and suddenly felt a little excited.
Lin An didn't have much of a change in his position after that, mainly because he wasn't familiar enough with the job. He could only make adjustments based on his performance in the future.
Lin An memorized all the names he needed to remember and began to assign tasks.
Security, regional planning, re-inventory of supplies
It took Lin An a full hour to finish assigning tasks.
"I hope that you will do your best for the following work. If there are any problems, report them in time.”
"Meeting dismissed."
The people in the tent left in twos and threes. Soon, only Lin An and Lu Yao were left.
Lin An looked at the empty tent and sighed in disappointment. He didn't feel conflicted. Instead, he sat in the tent and focused on drawing on paper and a map.
Lu Yao looked at his focused expression and quietly sat at the side. She held her chin and looked at him. After making him a cup of coffee, she did her best to help him wherever he needed help.
One after another, detailed plans were sent out by Lu Yao. The entire gathering place seemed to come alive again in an instant.
