Chapter 1424 [1424] Is this a case of courtesy before force?

"Everyone relax. I'm here to learn and you are all my teachers." Ye Feng tried to lower his posture as much as possible, but these people still stood straight without any relaxation.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao, who was following beside him, felt a special feeling in his heart.

A man is more attractive only when he is respected by others.

I have to say that Ye Feng at this moment really has a bit of the flavor of a big leader.

At this time, one of the women came out, "Hello, Mr. Ye, I am the captain of this exploration team, my name is Lan Xingyue."

Although the woman was wearing bulky outdoor clothes, her face, which was exposed, was stunning.

Especially her beautiful hair, which fluttered wildly when blown by the wind, just like the scenes in those shampoo commercials.

It is hard to imagine that a woman who often performs exploration missions outdoors would have such smooth hair.

Even Zhuang Xiaoqiao was envious.

"Hello, Captain Lan." Ye Feng stretched out his hand and shook her hand. His hands were very soft, not like those of someone who often did rough work.

But think about it, he is the captain, how can he do it himself? He just needs to talk.

"Mr. Ye, although you are the boss, there are some rules that I still have to make clear first." After Lan Xingyue shook hands with Ye Feng, her tone immediately became much more serious.

Ye Feng was immediately amused. Was this a case of using courtesy before force?
"Okay, you talk and I'm listening." He didn't act like a boss and listened with an open mind.

"From now on, until the end of the exploration mission, I am the highest leader of this team, and everything must be under my command. If anyone dares to disobey my orders, no matter who they are, they must leave the team immediately."

Lan Xingyue exudes a kind of fortitude that is rarely seen in men. No wonder he can be the captain.

"Okay, we will completely obey Captain Lan's command." Ye Feng was the first to express his opinion. He had never thought of blindly giving orders to others when he was accompanying them on the mission this time.

"That's good. Let's go." Lan Xingyue was very satisfied with his statement. She had been worried that this big boss would interfere in the exploration team's affairs.

What she hates most is laymen giving orders to professionals. If that happens, she will just quit her job.

At present, it seems that Ye Feng’s attitude at least satisfies her.

Following her order, the exploration team immediately took action.

They also equipped Ye Feng with a walkie-talkie to facilitate communication between cars.

According to Lan Xingyue's introduction, they had already locked down several areas based on intelligence.

Among them are silver, copper and coal mines.

After listening to her introduction, Ye Feng became more and more expectant.

If these mineral veins can be really discovered this time, he will be considered as someone who owns mines at home.

This kind of mineral resources is different from other industries.

Other industries require continuous operating investment and may be eliminated one day in the future.

But there are fewer worries for this kind of mineral vein. You never have to worry about the market and you can create value continuously.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the mineral veins can actually be explored.

They are only making a preliminary assessment now, and further investigation is needed to determine the authenticity of the news.

The convoy continued to move forward and soon left the city, going further and further away.

After driving for more than an hour, the convoy entered the mountainous area and finally stopped outside a dense forest.

"We can't go forward, get off the car and take your equipment with you."

Lan Xingyue got out of the car first and greeted everyone.

Ye Feng and Zhuang Xiaoqiao got out of the car.

"How can we help?" Ye Feng came to Lan Xingyue and looked into the depths of the dense forest.

"Help me get the equipment." Lan Xingyue didn't bother to be polite with him and pointed at the exploration equipment in the pickup truck. Ye Feng didn't say anything and walked over to pick up a piece of equipment he couldn't name. It was about 100 pounds and quite heavy.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao also helped carry some things to the best of her ability.

Then a group of people walked towards the dense forest in a mighty manner.

"Everyone, be careful. There are many traps set by hunters in this forest. Don't step into them." Lan Xingyue warned everyone while looking for the direction with a map.

"Sister Lan, are there any prey in this forest?" Zhuang Xiaoqiao came to her side and asked while wiping the sweat off his face.

If we were to ask who is the most active person in the entire team, it would be her.

It was her first time in such a primeval forest, and her curiosity far outweighed her fear.

"Don't be afraid, just follow me."

Lan Xingyue thought she was scared, so she said it casually.

According to her guess, this incredibly beautiful girl might be the mistress of the big boss.

But she didn't mean to show any contempt.

As long as she doesn't cause trouble for her, she doesn't bother to meddle in other people's affairs.

As the exploration team went deeper into the dense forest, the temperature began to gradually rise.

By noon, the temperature in the forest had reached over 30 degrees Celsius, and those with weaker constitutions were already feeling dizzy.

"Take a break and eat something."

Lan Xingyue found an open space and asked everyone to stop and rest.

The members of the exploration team put down their equipment, gathered together, and ate compressed biscuits with mineral water.

Ye Feng and Zhuang Xiaoqiao also got a share.

But Zhuang Xiaoqiao only took a small bite and found it too unpalatable, so he handed the rest of the biscuit to Ye Feng and ran to Lan Xingyue.

"Sister Lan, you have great physical strength. After walking so many mountain roads, I felt like my legs were about to break, but you are fine." Zhuang Xiaoqiao looked at Lan Xingyue with eyes full of admiration.

"I go on missions frequently, I'm used to it." Lan Xingyue is not a talkative person and just replied casually.

"I really envy you for being able to go to so many fun places." Zhuang Xiaoqiao looked longing.

"Fun?" Lan Xingyue glanced at her with a hint of sneer on her face.

Obviously, he felt that Zhuang Xiaoqiao's words had a bit of a "why not eat meat porridge" flavor.

How hard is it for them to go out to do exploration missions? If it weren't for life, who wouldn't want to lie comfortably at home?

This young lady actually found it funny.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao was very sensitive. She realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. She stuck out her tongue and sat back next to Ye Feng.

"You've been criticized, right?" Ye Feng looked at her with a gloating look.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao glared at him and ignored him.

After eating, all members of the exploration team began to take a nap. Only Blue Star did not rest. He took a telescope and went to look around.

"Why don't you get some sleep?"

Ye Feng came up from behind her and handed her a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you." Lan Xingyue took a sip of the mineral water, then pointed to the dense forest around her, "There are wild beasts in this forest. Someone has to stand guard, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

"Then I'll stand guard and you go to sleep." Ye Feng said kindly.

After all, he is a martial artist and has a lot of energy. He only needs to sleep two hours a day to ensure that he is full of energy for the whole day.
