Pained Wails Echo Through the Mountains and Forests.

This question really hit the nail on the head for Luo Chen. He raised his hand and pointed at Brandon:

"It's alright, now that the Reunion Movement is here, you'll have it."

"Our Reunion Movement is here for this purpose; you may not understand us."

"But let me introduce you to the Reunion Movement."

"The Reunion Movement is a non-profit organization dedicated to upholding fairness and justice; our goal is to eliminate all evil."

"These illegal cults that endanger the safety of people's property are among our targets."

"I propose that our villagers unite with our Reunion Movement to form a joint defense committee to combat cults."

"Therefore, I plan to hire two villagers as liaisons for the Reunion Movement."

"Since I'm only responsible for organizing things in the village, the salary isn't high, only two hundred Lungmen Dollar per month."

Luo Chen finished speaking.

The crowd fell silent instantly.

"Two hundred Lungmen Dollar? Not Ursus MD, but Lungmen Dollar?" Brandon asked incredulously.

Luo Chen nodded. "That's right, two hundred Lungmen Dollar. It sounds a bit low, doesn't it? Then I'll give you an additional ten catties of grain every month."

Before Luo Chen could even finish explaining the subsidies that would be provided later, the villagers' enthusiasm had already been ignited.

Kai: "I want to join the Reunion Movement!"

"I... I... I'm strong and healthy, I'm sure I can do this job of cracking down on cults."

"I am the village chief!!!"

All the villagers, regardless of age or gender, raised their hands and shouted wildly.

That's two hundred Lungmen Dollar a month!

This money would have been a huge sum before they were swindled out of their entire fortune.

For them, now penniless, this is not only a huge sum of money, but also a lifeline.

Otherwise, without money and food, they would starve to death before the autumn harvest.

Amidst the enthusiastic applications from the crowd, Luo Chen quickly selected two liaison officers.

The most respected old man in the village—the village chief.

Another one is Brandon, who hates cults to the core.

These two individuals will now work as employees of the Reunion Movement, responsible for organizing villagers to assist the Reunion Movement in combating cults.

"Sir, do you have any other work to do?"

The villagers who weren't chosen were frantic, shouting that their lives were at stake.

Now is not the time to worry about saving face, and even the biggest face is not worth two hundred Lungmen Dollar to the villagers.

Not to mention, nobody even had anything to eat.

"This one?"

At this point, Luo Chen's face immediately showed a troubled expression.

The village chief and Brandon, who had just joined the Reunion Movement, did not forget their fellow villagers just because they had secured their own future.

The village chief and Brandon approached Luo Chen and said, almost pleadingly:

"Chief Luo, we know you're a good person."

"We've just been swindled out of all our money by a cult, and we don't even have food for tomorrow. Can you please be a good person and help us through this difficult time?"

We will always remember your kindness.

Luo Chen thought of the mountains of supplies piled up in the camp, his lips trembled, and he said with some worry:

"We came from Lungmen, on one hand to fight the evil elements, and on the other hand to support our comrades coming from other areas. We don't have many supplies."

Upon hearing this, the villagers, whose eyes had just been shining, all lost their sparkle.

But Luo Chen's next words rekindled their hope.

"However, I have funds and supplies for building the camp."

"This money is a resettlement fee from our Reunion Movement to accommodate partners who came from other areas."

"My original plan was to find a no-man's-land and build a permanent concrete camp to house our Reunion Movement comrades in the north."

Upon hearing that Luo Chen was going to build a permanent base, the villagers' eyes widened instantly.

No wonder he's a wealthy person from Lungmen.

The moment they opened their mouths, they said it was a permanent camp.

There weren't any brick houses in their village, only wooden huts, yet they wanted to build a concrete foundation.

What does this tell us?

This indicates that the amount of money involved is enormous.

"But I found it extremely difficult to find a large, open area suitable for building a base in these mountains."

"Therefore, I'm thinking of setting up our Reunion Movement in small teams in each village."

"In that case, we will need to build barracks for our Reunion Movement members."

"I don't know about you..."

Before Luo Chen could finish speaking, the village chief took the lead in agreeing to Luo Chen's proposal.

"Commander Luo, no problem. As long as you can give us some food, we'll do anything."

"Building a campsite and houses, right? No problem at all. What do you think of this open space at the village entrance?"

"We'll turn this place into your campsite tomorrow."

Luo Chen then looked at the other villagers, and without exception, they all nodded in agreement.

Then Luo Chen's eyelids twitched, and he added:

"All my companions are Infected."

However, this was not hindered in any way.

The villagers, who only wanted to survive, agreed without hesitation.

"Don't just talk about Infected, anyone can do it."

"Our village chief is also a member of the Reunion Movement. The people of the Reunion Movement are our people."

"That's right, that's right."

Looking at the villagers' fervent eyes and expectant gazes.

Luo Chen sensed their support for the Reunion Movement from them.

I believe that once the headquarters members from the north arrive, they will be able to get along well with the villagers here.

Luo Chen nodded:

"Alright, since the villagers are so easy to talk to, I, Luo Chen, won't waste any more words. Let's get straight to signing the contract!"

"Walk!"

At the same time.

The Yeti Squad outside the village was still trying to figure out what Luo Chen was talking about with the villagers.

Everyone was gathered together, and they seemed to be having a good time.

They were unaware that Luo Chen had not only used the villagers' money to hire them, but had also boosted the reputation of the Reunion Movement.

They even arranged accommodations for our compatriots from the north.

Chapter 173 Don't mention any heaven-defying ideas to Luo Chen; he really could do them.

"Commander Luo Chen, you are truly our great benefactor!" a villager exclaimed excitedly.

His voice was filled with gratitude towards Luo Chen.

His eyes were filled with tears, as if all his gratitude and admiration had converged into this one sentence at that moment.

"Commander Luo Chen, you not only helped us drive away those cult members, but you also provided us with jobs, giving us a chance to start a new life."

Another villager added.

His voice was also full of gratitude; if it weren't for Chief of Staff Luo's kindness, they really wouldn't know how they would have survived this summer.

Thank you so much.

Luo Chen nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face, as if it were all something he should do.

He didn't linger; instead, he turned and walked out of the village, ready to embark on a new journey and bring hope to more bewildered villagers.

Seeing Luo Chen being seen off from the village by the villagers with tears of gratitude.

The Yeti outside the village were too shocked to speak.

They had never seen such a wronged villager; Luo Chen had swindled them out of their money, and they were even moved to tears of gratitude.

FrostNova didn't dwell on these things, because Luo Chen had already explained the reasons to her.

She was now curious about the purpose of the documents Luo Chen was holding.

"Luo Chen, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Can't you understand?" Luo Chen raised the document in his hand; the title of the contract was a striking employment contract.

FrostNova, caught off guard by the question, suddenly paused, then became hesitant and awkward.

"Hmm... it's not that I don't understand it at all... but I only understand a little bit."

FrostNova may not understand, but that doesn't mean the Yeti are illiterate.

Some of these individuals were educated in the mobile city before becoming Infected.

Yangge understood the words on the contract:

"This is an employment contract. The Reunion Movement hired villagers to build a camp for Reunion Movement for two months, during which the Reunion Movement would provide supplies to the villagers."

"Huh? What did you say? Those villagers even helped us build the camp for free?" Big Bear, who was also illiterate, exclaimed.

"Chief Luo, aren't you going to lose your conscience doing this?"

Under the Yeti's monstrous gazes, Luo Chen waved his hand modestly.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, just a small favor."

"They simply made the right choice, cutting ties with their past cult beliefs and actively embracing the path of the Reunion Movement."

You call this a small favor?

They really had no idea what Luo Chen's thought process was.

In his view, Luo Chen's behavior had exceeded the comprehension of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Big Bear added in a sarcastic tone:

"We still need a lot of manpower to deliver supplies to them. Why don't you recruit some villagers to be our free laborers?"

FrostNova immediately picked up on the Big Bear's sarcastic tone.

To avoid Luo Chen misunderstanding, FrostNova immediately chimed in:

Don't listen to his nonsense, he's just joking.

However, Luo Chen has always been someone who listens to advice.

Big Bear's suggestion did indeed make him realize his shortcomings.

Villagers can temporarily fill in for short-term workers in the Reunion Movement, but the Reunion Movement cannot function without long-term workers.

"Little White, your friend is right."

Luo Chen smiled and pointed at the Big Bear.

Big Bear thought Luo Chen was going to cause him trouble, and immediately puffed out his chest in protest.
