Once dissatisfied, resentment will arise.
This is human nature, an irreversible nature of humans.
At this moment, Yu Ming's words deeply resonated with them.
Yes, if Li Yu hadn't let them in, given the cold, they might have frozen to death.
Although it's a bit crowded in the greenhouse, at least they can lie down and not freeze; compared to outside, even if the greenhouse's smell is strong and it's cramped, it's still a paradise!
Li Yu smiled slightly upon hearing his words.
The reason for the slow expansion of the population between the base's Inner City and Outer City is because he doesn't like people without conscience or those with overly strong desires.
People must know gratitude to have investment value.
Especially in Doomsday.
Though ability is important, for Li Yu, a person's natural disposition is more important.
And a person's disposition generally won't change much unless they experience a major incident.
As the saying goes, "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit."
Though this saying insults dogs, it's usually used to criticize people.
Seeing the skinny girl with brittle yellow hair behind Yu Ming, Li Yu thought of Li Peizhen in the base, of similar age.
Previously he had seen this little girl sensibly saving food for her mother.
He felt emotional.
Suddenly, he recalled overhearing in the monitoring room that Yu Ming and his extra staff's points are almost enough.
So, he turned to Yu Ming and asked, "How many points has your team accumulated?"
Yu Ming heard this and didn't quite understand the purpose of Li Yu's question.
But he still answered honestly, "59 points."
Those cooperative personnel observing around started discussing.
"Damn, no wonder they refused to act earlier; they just need one more point. If I were them, I wouldn't retaliate either, as they're about to reach the 60 points required for extra staff status."
"It's not that easy, right? There's still an assessment to pass, not just the points requirement."
"Hey! You saw it earlier; Director Li praised them, so the assessment shouldn't be an issue. I really envy them; after this snowstorm ends, they just need to complete small tasks to receive regular monthly food."
"Sigh, my points are only 29; how long until I can accumulate to 60 points?"
"Hehe, you haven't been cooperating long enough; Yu Ming and his team have been collaborating for a while now. They started this mode when Big Camphor Tree Base opened it. Over time, they've completed tasks more diligently than your team."
"That's true; last time I completed a task, just as they did, and ran into them. After finishing the task, I wanted to rest for two days, and as I prepared to go out again, I saw them hauling another batch of supplies. It seems they never rested; quite ruthless!"
......
All kinds of discussions were buzzing around.
At this moment, Li Tie and his team also returned to the greenhouse.
Seeing Li Tie and his crew return, Li Yu had some thoughts he wanted to express.
"Where there's reward, there's punishment! Gao Tian and his crew deliberately broke rules and are now bound outside. Yu Ming, you endured being hit while upholding the base's rules, setting an example for everyone. By doing so, you trust the base and us. Reward!
Here and now, I announce that your team, henceforth, will be Group 11 of Big Camphor Tree Base's extra staff, led by Yu Ming."
Boom~
The entire greenhouse was instantly ignited by this news.
"Wow! Their luck is amazing!"
"Does that mean they can receive food and move next door?"
"Are you stupid? Of course, if I were him, I'd be thrilled. Envy is killing me. Ahhhh."
"Indeed, Director Li is fair in rewards and punishments; I just said earlier that nothing would happen to Yu Ming and his team. Look, I was right."
"Backseat driver... "
......
Yu Ming clearly didn't expect Li Yu to give him such a surprise; he always had a goal to lead his team into the extra staff, a guarantee against risking life for highly dangerous tasks.
No more worrying about days without missions due to weather or circumstances, struggling without food, facing starvation.
In Doomsday, food crisis is an ever-hanging sword over everyone's head.
This sword's fall timing is unknown.
The less food in the bag, the closer the sword is to the head.
And for most in Doomsday, this sword almost grazes the scalp.
Always facing food shortage!
Calculating one, two, or three days of no food.
Yu Ming trembled, lips quivering, too excited to speak.
Not just him, but his teammates behind him were equally overwhelmed.
Hugging each other, tears of joy filled their eyes.
"Thank you, Director Li!" The short young man was the first to react.
Yu Ming awoke from his daze, his goal suddenly achieved, stunned for two seconds, before understanding upon hearing the short man.
Quickly he said to Li Yu, "Thank you, thank you, Director Li."
The team members behind him echoed, "Thank you, Director Li."
Li Yu waved a hand, saying, "This is what you deserve."
He then turned, and said to He Chao, "Later, record this and inform Second Uncle and the others. Also, give Yu Ming and his crew this month's subsidy. Hmm... find Li Yuan, I'll notify her."
He Chao nodded, saying, "Okay."
Glancing at Yu Ming's team with congratulatory eyes.
Next to him, Zhu Xiao, Guo Peng, Xiao Hu, other extra staff looked at Yu Ming and his teammates with changed eyes.
Joining extra staff meant becoming one of them.
Soon they'd move to the same greenhouse, under the same roof as coworkers.
Yu Ming was grateful, after speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Yu.
His teammates behind him did the same.
........
Around them, other cooperative personnel whispered envious words.
After Li Yu finished speaking, he moved forward and patted Yu Ming's shoulder.
Seeing the little girl behind him, he smiled warmly.
Then he walked out of the greenhouse.
