"Chief, are you alright?" I don't know how long it took, Gu Xiaoying took the lead in breaking the silence and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" ”

Liu glanced at her directly, and said indifferently: "Do you want me to have something?" ”

Gu Xiaoying pursed her lips and said in her heart: "It's strange, with his virtue, he should say, 'I'm thinking about how to make you my girlfriend', what's wrong with him?" ”

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoying hurriedly said: "I definitely don't want to, you are the leader of the tribe and the spiritual pillar of everyone, and everyone in the tribe will not want you to have an accident." ”

"Is it just because I'm the head of the tribe?" Liu Zhi looked at the woman seriously, and said with a bitter expression: "Haven't you ever worried about me personally?" ”

"This ......" Gu Xiaoying was a little overwhelmed, if it was a change of usual, she would definitely answer "no" without hesitation, but now, Liu Zhi's state was too weird, and even her voice became low and hoarse, which made her dare not answer rashly, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Personal, well, there are some, but not that aspect, or the aspect of men and women...... Hey, you know what I'm trying to say......"

"I know." Liu Zhi jumped down from the stone railing, walked slowly to the woman's side, looked at her slightly flustered appearance, and sighed lightly: "Although I don't need the care of so-called friends, I still want to thank you, no matter what capacity you are using to comfort me, really, I haven't felt this kind of warmth for a long time, Xiaoying, you moved me very much." ”

After speaking, he took advantage of the moment when the woman was deceived and slightly distracted, and with lightning speed, he printed his lips on the side of her face, touched it, and smiled: "Thank you." ”

Then, he turned and walked away briskly, disappearing behind the gate.

Gu Xiaoying was still in a daze at the moment, and finally reacted, but found that the windowsill was empty, and Liu Zhi's figure had long been gone, so he couldn't help but clench his fists in anger, and scolded angrily: "Damn, it turns out that he was acting from the beginning, and I was kind enough to comfort him, woo, isn't kissing his face the first kiss......"

…………

In the next month, because of the appearance of Zhu Cheng, the work efficiency of the central department was greatly improved, and by the way, it also led to the good operation of the entire tribe, and the role of manpower and material resources exceeded at least thirty percent of the previous ones.

However, at the beginning, Liu Zhike did not delegate too much power to Zhu Cheng, but let him assist in some affairs, five days later, seeing that every suggestion he put forward was very pertinent and the results were very good, he gave him the right to dispose of it himself, and ten days later, Liu Zhi finally announced that Zhu Cheng could decide on all civil-related matters of the Central Department without asking his opinion again.

As a result, Zhu Cheng officially entered the decision-making level of the tribe.

The news quickly spread in the tribe, people talked about Zhu Cheng's one-step ascension to the sky, but also seemed to see the road ahead of the light bright, until now, the leader of the exceptionally promoted many people, but really in a short period of time into the decision-making level, said to be one step to the sky, only five people, namely the director of the agricultural bureau "Jingning", the director of the military intelligence department "Wuyang", the fourth dragon battalion commander "Xu Liang", the deputy commander of the martial arts training battalion "Peng Biao", and the last one is Zhu Cheng, the director of the administrative affairs department directly under the Central Department.

Among these five people, Jing Ning ascended to the position by virtue of his talent, Xu Liang and Peng Biao's abilities were also well reflected in the original combat group, and Wu Yang was not very clear about his ability because the Military Intelligence Department was a secret department, but he assisted the leader in handling government affairs, but everyone knew it, not to mention anything else, at least he was very fair when he promoted and appointed new officials, and the issuance of various orders was impeccable.

And Zhu Cheng, who is not a special awakened person, has no relationship or background, but in just half a month, he has firmly sat in the position of director of administrative affairs, whether it is luck or ability, everyone knows it.

This incident undoubtedly gave hope to many ordinary awakened people with extraordinary talents but no way out, and their work enthusiasm and learning attitude increased significantly, and the development momentum of the tribe gradually became fierce.

On the seventeenth day, Duan Qi's Third Dragon Camp was the first to return, and Liu Zhi personally greeted them with all the officials, and held a banquet in the newly built school yard by the lake.

In this operation, the two brigades of the 3rd Dragon Battalion, with the support of Duan Qi's intelligence, spent a total of 20 days and successfully explored the 1,000-kilometer range southwest and due south of the tribe, discovered and conquered four human camps, and brought back 375 people.

When the third human camp was discovered, the first brigade led by Duan Qi had encountered fierce resistance, there were more than 200 people in that camp, and the awakened were also in their early thirties, they were full of thought that they could fight, refused to accept the fusion, and took stone axes, wooden sticks and other weapons, and launched a charge against Duan Qi and the others.

However, the result was that there was no suspense at all, just like an unarmed homeless man met an armed police officer with a submachine gun, and the battle was completely one-sided, Duan Qi commanded eighteen well-trained awakened warriors, with three people as a group, to fight in formation, and the remaining two were specially assigned by Liu Zhi to each brigade of fighting masters, specifically responsible for protecting officers and dealing with possible strong characters.

In less than a moment's effort, most of the thirty or so people were beaten to the ground, and the rest of the people saw that the situation was not good, and they fled one after another, they didn't know how to use their vitality to improve their combat power, and the equipment and fighting skills were also very different.

If Duan Qi hadn't seen that they were a rabble and didn't want to kill them, this group of naïve guys was afraid that if they rushed up, at least half of them would die.

Showing a strong military force, this group of guys really became very honest, Duan Qi told them the general situation of the tribe, as soon as they heard that there were awakening exercises to practice, these people's attitudes immediately became earnest again, not only did they agree to the fusion, but also competed to show themselves in front of Duan Qi, or to appease people's hearts, or to help move the camp, or to maintain order, it was really a great way to please them.

In the next five days, the other three dragon barracks also returned one after another, and the number of people brought back was also quite a lot, among which Huang Han's first dragon barracks brought back a total of 289 people, Fang Shaochuan's second dragon barracks brought back 358 people, and Xu Liang's fourth dragon barracks was the most outstanding one, not only brought back the largest number of people, there were 441 people, among which there was even a prisoner who refused to surrender, this guy was carried back, his hands and feet had been broken, and he was paralyzed on the stretcher and couldn't move.

It is said that the two masters who were responsible for protecting Xu Liang combined, and with the advantage of weapons, they only barely captured him. Xu Liang felt that this guy was a talent, so he brought it back and wanted to hand it over to Liu Zhi to deal with personally, but because the ordinary straw rope couldn't tie him at all, he had to break his limbs, anyway, the "doctor" in the tribe could easily cure him.
