Chen Yiming returned with three sacks on his back.
Chen Shaojie, Zhong Chaofeng, and Lin Yongxin hurried forward, each person helping to carry a sack.
“Take it carefully. The things inside are very precious,” Chen Yiming reminded them.
The sacks contained maps, dried mutant beast meat and medicine. Any one of these items would be worth far more than the cash they had found through the body search earlier.
Some types of dried mutant beast meat were rare and hard to find. He had already planned to get Chen Yingying to start practicing martial arts once he got back. These dried mutant beast meat would be saved for his sister.
With the maps, the conditions for the next step of his plan were met.
While Chen Yiming was talking to the three of them, Dong Fen walked to Zhao Baolong’s side.
“If you must blame someone, then blame yourself for being useless.”
Dong Fen squatted down and quickly took out a few red pills from the medicine bottle she had kept.
“You damned woman.”
Zhao Baolong’s eyes widened. Ignoring the pain from his muscles being torn apart, he struggled and tried to get up.
The red pill was a type of slow-acting poison that targeted the heart. If one did not take the antidote for a long time after ingesting the poison, the ability of the heart to supply blood to the body would gradually decrease. Eventually, it would reach the stage where just walking a few steps would cause one
to feel thoroughly exhausted.
Dong Fen held Zhao Baolong down with one hand and patted his chest with the other. Zhao Baolong opened his mouth reflexively and she quickly fed him the pill. Then, she covered his mouth and made him swallow the pill.
After making sure Zhao Baolong swallowed the red pill, Dong Fen bid farewell to Zhao Baolong.
“Didn’t I say that I was afraid of leaving behind future troubles? This way, you will definitely not be able to come out of this alive.”
Dong Fen did this to prevent any future troubles. It was all Chen Shaojie’s fault for coming up with such crooked ideas. Her survival instinct revealed her true thoughts.
If she did not act mercilessly now, and if the war ended soon and both of them were lucky enough to survive, Dong Fen, who was weaker than Zhao Baolong, would have to pray that Zhao Baolong would not try to settle the score with her later.
By the time Zhao Baolong was sent to the front line to work, there would not be enough medicine for the soldiers. Zhao Baolong would not be able to receive the necessary treatment and would only be able to work till he passed on from exhaustion.
Chen Yiming had also noticed the situation on Zhao Baolong’s side. However, Dong Fen had acted too quickly, and no one had expected her to do something like this.
Dong Fen stood up and explained to Chen Yiming.
“Sir, don’t worry. That slow-acting poison won’t work immediately. I just don’t want Zhao Baolong to have any chance of getting out of this alive.”
“Tsee.”
The old man could tell that the captives were all martial artists. However, what could be seen on the surface might not be accurate. They would have to be tested by professionals to get an accurate assessment.
Not far away, the team queuing behind Chen Yiming was in disbelief when they heard Old Man Zhang’s words.
How could there a single city patrol team capture so many people at the level of the first and second transformation? Even if it was possible, how could they capture so many at once?
It must be understood that most of the captains of the ordinary city patrol teams had only undergone a single body transformation. Only a few of the more powerful ones had reached the level of the second transformation.
In the villages in the city, the unidentified persons who had undergone one or two transformations were basically bandits who had sneaked into the city from the wilderness.
At the same cultivation level, the captain of a city patrol team, who had been maintaining order in the city for years, was no match for the bandits who had lived in the wildemess.
When they encountered a tough opponent, the city patrol team would usually pretend that they didn’t see anything even if they sensed that something was wrong. The bandits also didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble, so both sides maintained a certain level of tacit understanding.
The city patrol team’s main target was the refugees who had sneaked into the city. Compared to the city patrol team, the refugees did not have enough strength to put up a resistance. In reality, the city patrol team’s captain rarely made a move and usually let his subordinates deal with the captives.
The old man quickly let Chen Yiming’ group pass. Chen Shaojie walked to the front and continued leading the way. They arrived at a building that was designated for the teams to hand over their captives.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yiming and his team exited the building.
“Consultant Chen, you’re really amazing.”
Zhong Chaofeng was the first to suck up to him.
“That’s right, Consultant Chen. The team beside us was completely dumbfounded and they all had a look of shock.”
Lin Yongxin was a tactful person who had been working for many years, and also tried to curry favor with him.
“Cousin, why don’t we book a table at a restaurant to celebrate the success of our first day on the job?” Chen Shaojie suggested.

Chen Yiming glanced at them without saying anything.
In his previous life, he had worked for many years after graduation. He knew that they wanted to continue working with him to earn more rewards from the job, so they deliberately tried to please him.
“Pass all the items to me. I still have something to do, so I have to leave first.”
Chen Yiming still had his part-time job at night, so he rejected his cousin’s suggestion and left with the items he had collected earlier.
At this moment, there was still more than ten minutes before the swordsmanship class started. With his current speed, he could return home first before going to teach the class..
