I deliver food in a bizarre world

Zhao Tianyi said, "They all received a phone call, and all they heard was coughing. They died seven days later."

"No symptoms?"

"They said it's similar to a common cold, with a hoarse throat and then a cough, and the symptoms will worsen over time."

cold?

Chen Mo looked at Zhao Tianyi with a strange expression, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Zhao Tianyi took a half step back and shrugged helplessly: "That's what they said, I don't know either."

Chen Mo rubbed his throbbing temples. Something with no solution could still spread across thousands of miles…

If they could only eliminate one person per month, it would probably have caused a huge uproar across the country long ago...

The following afternoon, Chen Mo met Lin Xiao in the lobby of the apartment building.

Zhou Mingyu drove Chen Mo's car and took the other three to go shopping, leaving him alone in the entire building.

The team has just been formed, the studio has not been officially announced yet, and there is no work at the moment.

Their primary task is to handle logistical matters, such as food supplies, as well as the procurement of equipment and daily necessities.

Lin Xiao arrived earlier than Chen Mo had expected.

He was wearing an ordinary black tactical jacket, his posture was upright and sturdy, and his eyes were sharp and calm. He looked more mature than his actual age.

His face was expressionless, but he exuded a powerful and refined aura. Chen Mo had studied swordsmanship and knew that it was something left behind after experiencing real life-and-death trials!

"Hello, I'm Chen Mo." Chen Mo extended his hand.

"Lin Xiao." The other person reached out and shook hands, the force steady, the touch brief and the movement clean and swift.

Chen Mo led him to sit on the sofa by the window. Sunlight streamed through the blinds, casting dappled shadows on his angular face.

"Mr. Chen mentioned you to me," Lin Xiao said bluntly, without beating around the bush. "I'm very interested in what you're doing, so I'd like to join you."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Then you may encounter some problems in the future that cannot be solved by conventional means, and once you enter this circle, you will be entangled by those monsters and unable to extricate yourself."

Lin Xiao's face remained expressionless, as if he had long been accustomed to the word "danger."

"Don't worry, when I was in the military, I had to deal with all sorts of emergencies and dangers. I just don't have the energy for ordinary security work."

His gaze swept across the empty hall, finally settling on Chen Mo's face: "Mr. Chen mentioned you, suggesting I try my luck here."

"Why did you choose to believe me?" Chen Mo asked.

He needs to ascertain the other party's motives.

Lin Xiao remained silent for a few seconds, a complex emotion seemingly flashing in his eyes.

"My hometown is in the mountainous area of ​​southwest China. I heard many legends about mountain spirits and monsters when I was a child. Later, when I was on a mission on the border, I also encountered some things that could not be explained by common sense."

He didn't go into details, but his tone suggested it wasn't a pleasant memory.

"Mr. Chen has been very kind to me. He recommended you, and I trusted him, so I came."

Chen Mo sensed the sincerity in his words.

"My team is newly formed and still in the process of gelling," Chen Mo said. "Currently, we have intelligence analysts, technical support personnel, and some preliminary reconnaissance personnel. If we encounter situations that require direct confrontation or professional tactical planning, I hope you can step up."

"Understood." Lin Xiao nodded. "So, my responsibility is to ensure the team's safety, carry out siege missions, and provide tactical command when necessary, right?"

"Mm." Chen Mo nodded.

Lin Xiao said, "As long as you give me a clear goal, I will do my best."

Although his answer didn't offer any extra promises, it gave Chen Mo a strong sense of trust.

"Well then, welcome to the team. I hope we can work together successfully."

Just as Chen Mo was about to ask for more details, a noise came from the doorway.

Han Wenqing arrived, carrying a briefcase, his forehead beaded with sweat, and his face beaming with a warm smile.

"Mr. Chen! Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way. Is this your new base? It's a nice place!"

He was accompanied by four other people who came in carrying large and small bags.

"Manager Han." Chen Mo stood up to greet him, then introduced Lin Xiao, "This is Han Wenqing, the manager of the Shark platform, who is in charge of our live streaming affairs. These four are members of our team."

Chen Mo then introduced Lin Xiao to everyone.

Lin Xiao nodded slightly as a greeting. Then, his gaze lingered on the four of them for a moment, and he nodded without exchanging any further pleasantries.

Han Wenqing was clearly curious about Lin Xiao, but seeing the other party's cold and hard aura, he didn't ask any more questions and instead looked at the four young people.

"These must be Mr. Chen's newly recruited capable assistants, right? They're clearly talented!"

Zhou Mingyu received Chen Mo's message yesterday and got straight to the point.

After putting his things aside, he walked to the desk with Li Wenjing and Han Wenqing.

"Hello Manager Han, this is Zhou Mingyu. I have drafted a preliminary plan regarding the upgrade of the live streaming equipment and signal stability. It requires the platform to grant access to some underlying interfaces and to purchase a batch of hardware of specific specifications."

He opened his tablet, brought up a document, and began to explain his technical requirements one by one.

Han Wenqing felt a bit overwhelmed, but tried her best to maintain an awkward yet polite smile.

"No problem, Mr. Zhou, just tell me your requirements. I'll have them fully cooperate technically. As long as the live stream quality is good, the investment won't be an issue!"

On the other side, Li Wenjing also turned on her computer and said to Han Wenqing, "Manager Han, this is Li Wenjing. This is my data analysis and audience feedback report on our boss's recent live broadcast content."

"In addition, I have compiled a list of potentially sensitive words and topic risk warnings, which the platform needs to pay close attention to during the review process to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Han Wenqing leaned closer to look at the screen, where the densely packed data charts made his eyes dizzy.

But Li Wenjing's explanation was very clear, which allowed him to quickly grasp the key points.

"That's wonderful! Ms. Li, your work is so meticulous! With this, we in operations feel much more confident! We'll be relying on you more for future livestream content planning and risk management!"

Seeing Zhou Mingyu, Li Wenjing, and Han Wenqing working together efficiently, Chen Mo felt much more at ease.

Leave professional matters to professionals!

Su Yifan and Li Haojie carried their things and went upstairs.

Lin Xiao sat quietly to the side, observing the group without saying a word, but there seemed to be a hint of approval in his eyes.

After seeing off the satisfied Han Wenqing, the hall quieted down for a moment. Zhou Mingyu took the purchase order signed by Han Wenqing and immediately went back to his office.

Lin Xiao then stood up and said to Chen Mo, "I'm going to familiarize myself with the surroundings."

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, if you need any equipment or have any requirements for site modifications, just tell Zhou Mingyu or me. By the way, pick a bedroom on the 3rd to 5th floor."

Lin Xiao responded and walked steadily toward the stairwell.

Chen Mo turned to Li Wenjing, who was still on the first floor: "Sister Jing, is there any progress on the matter of investigating Lily that I asked you to investigate yesterday?"

Li Wenjing's expression turned serious. She beckoned Chen Mo to the computer and brought up an encrypted folder.
