Unsure what their boss was up to, his men were baffled when Cheng Tianlai grinned and extended an invitation to Jiang Si's group. "The apocalypse is a test of our very survival. Flower Garden is still relatively safe for now, and we have extra houses for you to stay in. The surrounding gardens and lawns can all be used for farming. How about this? You stay, I provide the seeds, and when you harvest the crops, you give me a tenth of the yield. In exchange for that ten percent, I will also guarantee your personal safety within Flower Garden."
Cheng Tianlai made it sound nice. In reality, they could have just tied them up, forced them to farm, and taken all the crops for themselves.
But the fact that he was willing to let Jiang Si's group keep ninety percent of the food was suspicious in itself.
In ancient times, when landlords had the chance to exploit people, they would have begrudged the peasants even a single grain of rice.
Besides, this crew looked like nothing but trouble.
