Cao Jingyi was wearing casual clothes as he watched people who took the job to take care of the farm. They were plowing the land with a few eldery advisers. It was fortunate that there were a few eldery with farming experiences.

Farming was not easy as it sounded. She experienced it herself, it was not just about putting the seed into the soil. There was more about farming.

It was the land preparation. Fertilizing the land before planting the seed was a big major step. She had an idea to use the zombies to fertilize the land, but it would take longer for the body to decompose. It was an extreme idea but the best fertilizer for the land they had in hand.

Fortunately, the upgraded General Shop was also selling fertilizer for some reason. It helped them, but the land condition in SH was very bad that it would take some time for them to start planting. It was almost two weeks, but they had just been taking care of the land until now.

As she watched the workers, a screen popped out before her eyes.

Tang Shaoyang is calling! (Answer

/Ignore)

Cao Jingyi went further a little from the others before she answered the call,

"Hello? Boss!?

" She was undeniably excited for the expedition group's return,

"You have returned!?

"

"Yes, we have returned. I need you to go back to the base immediately!

" She heard a commanding tone from the other side. She quickly realized that since he had returned, he should have seen the mess within the base.

"Yes! I will return immediately!

" Cao Jingyi quickly responded. Tang Shaoyang said nothing more as the call was immediately closed. She rushed back to the three eldery who accompanied her to watch over the project,

"Uncle Xu, can you oversee them for me? I have to go back to the base immediately, the expedition team has returned.

"

"Oh, Boss and the others have returned,

" the man in his early fifties responded with a pleasant surprise,

"Then go ahead, we will watch over the farm for you. I will send someone when we are ready for the planting seed.

"

Cao Jingyi nodded and turned around. As she walked out of the farm area, she heard Uncle Xu's shout,

"Did you hear that, Boys!? The Boss has returned, works faster, and let's show our farm to him!

"

After calling Cao Jingyi, Tang Shaoyang went to the control room to retrieve the contract. It was a contract for the Tarrior when they agreed to serve the Empire as Tarrior.

He checked Jin Fan's contract, the paper had turned black and the content was written in red. It showed that the man who signed the contract had violated the contract.

Aside from the black one, there were another five contracts that had turned red. Aside from that, he noticed a few contracts showing a sign of turning red too.

"Six, is it?

" He felt pity for the six people who fought with him since the beginning of the establishment had to be removed now. It was fortunate that only six people, the deterrent he placed on Tarrior was effective since only six people dared to betray him.

He took the six contracts with him and walked out of his room. He wanted to know more upgrades of the base, but he should take care of the rats in his house first.

"Grant Zhang Mengyao access to the Communication System!

" He ordered Origin as he entered the elevator. He noticed that Zhang Mengyao's name was added to the list.

Tang Shaoyang called her, and the call was immediately answered,

"What about outside? Is the situation still under control?

"

In front of the entrance

Lu An dragged Ding Hao and Jin Fan's bodies outside and threw them next to the unconscious guards. There was a large crowd, within five meters of distance from the group.

Wen and Kairu were standing next to the unconscious guards, scanning the crowd. They deterred the people from getting closer to them.

Meanwhile, Wei Xi and Zhang Mengyao were arranging the new group. They immediately put the ex-soldiers into work, these people quickly organized the crowds.

Kang Xue was attending her family, her father, her mother, and her sister-in-law,

"Follow me inside quickly, you should not see what would about to happen,

" from what these people had done, she was sure their fates were sealed. The death penalty was a mercy for them if Tang Shaoyang did not decide to torture them first.

"What do you mean?

" Mu Liqiu noticed the crowd. The crowd looked mistreated, their clothes were dirty and they looked starved,

"You said Shaoyang treated his people better, what about them? They…

"

"That was not his doing, Mother. Let's talk later, hurry. We will talk later, I have to help the others too,

" Kang Xue cut in, there was an urgency in her tone.

Kang Jiayi looked at the unconscious guard, and he even noticed that there was a man without legs. Clearly, the man had his legs cut recently. Kang Jiayi without hesitation pulled his wife with him while Kang Xue pulled her sister-in-law.

After taking care of her family, Kang Xue and Kang Jiayi came out of the lobby together,

"Father, you should stay inside with mother and Sister Hongmei.

"

"No, I want to know what happens too,

" the stubborn old man shook his head. He wanted to know the current affair of what happened in this place since, from today onward, this place would be his home.

"Execution! That is what will happen. I advise you to go back inside as this might not be good for someone in your age to see,

" Zhang Mengyao told the old man,

"They made a major crime, the death penalty is to be expected.

"

A deep frown formed on Kang Jiayi's forehead. It was an extreme punishment for sure. Especially since he was someone from modern society. He could not accept such a punishment, but Zhang Mengyao did not plan to hear a complaint from the old man.

"I am sorry, Kang Xue's father but I don't have time to argue with you. There are a lot of things we need to take care of, the base is in a mess right now,

" as soon as she finished her words, a commotion was heard from the crowd.

Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xue went toward the commotion. Kang Jiayi was hesitating before he decided to follow them too. As he got closer to the commotion, the voice became clear to his ears.

"Who dares to mess with Tarriors? Is it you, filthy beastmen?

" A furious shout rang.

Wen and Kairu exchanged glances. The Flaming Lion was asking permission to take any action against the people who cursed but the Jade Eagle shook his head.

"Tarrior? Are you even a Tarrior?

" Zhang Mengyao came out and questioned a man equipped with Tarrior's gears.

The one who made a commotion was a group of armored people. There were twenty of them. The crowd did not dare to block their path as they easily passed through the crowd and caused a commotion.

"Yes, we are! Captain Jin has recruited us into Tarrior, so we are! What about you, whore? Are you trying to stage a riot by working together with these filthy beastmen?

" The man that seemed the leader of the twenty raised his sword and pointed at Zhang Mengyao.

Zhang Mengyao kept emphasizing to Tang Shaoyang that violence was not the only way to solve the problem, but she had realized that violence might not be the only way but it was the most effective way to solve an issue, especially against people like them who were rude and unreasonable to talk with.

She did not say a word as she took out the Shade of the Fallen and Escutcheon of the Fallen. She was quickly equipped with the big lance and the bug shield despite her build. The size of the lance was quick enough to intimidate the crowd.

The crowd immediately distanced themselves from the group of twenty. Things were about to escalate to violence. None of them wanted to get involved.

Wei Xi and Lu An were about to help her, but she commanded them otherwise,

"Just stay at your position and maintain the crowd, Shaoyang will come down soon. As for these rats, leave them for me.

"

Wei Xi noticed the grin on her General's face, 'Oh my, even General Zhang now has become similar to the Boss. These fools are truly very good to incur the wrath of someone they should not.'

"What? Do you want to fight us? You should just stay on the bed and serve men, the battlefield is never your place, women!

" The leader raised his sword,

"Let teach this whore some lessons that men are s–

" he had not finished his words as a flat surface of the lance arrived in front of him.

The lance swept the man's face, a few teeth broke out of his mouth along with the blood. It did not stop there, she hooked the armor with her lance and pulled the man closer to her. She put her shield back to the inventory and reached the man's jaw.

She raised the man with her left hand to the air easily. The man said something, but his voice was unclear as it mixed with gurgling. She slammed the man to the ground and stepped the man's mouth with her boot. Seven times, she stepped on his mouth seven times. His lips cracked as blood oozed out from the wound and he almost lost all his front teeth too with two left still attached.

"Talk again! Let's see if you still can talk,

" She grinned at the man below her. Of course, the man had learned his lesson as he kept shaking his head.
