He said that Stark would bring a few armors over to help with the work. In fact, neither Shi Xiaolei nor Stark, who had recruited the strong men, took this matter seriously.

The reason is very simple. In addition to being smaller in size and not so exaggerated in size, the engineering armors produced by Stark's hands have great performance, cost, and energy consumption during operation.

It will not be inferior to the heavy engineering equipment that ordinary people often see in their lives.

It's just a small, slightly dilapidated warehouse, and it's not a large-scale project... One or two forklifts, pickup trucks, etc. are enough. Even cranes and excavators may not be used, so there is no need to use those.

A battle armor equivalent to heavy engineering equipment.

If there were more people to help with the work, and there were seven or eight dozen men who could do hard work, perhaps even forklifts could be saved.

There were too many to find, but maybe ten laborers, with Shi Xiaolei's connections, could still get enough.

Stark counts as one, and Happy, who accompanies him everywhere every day, counts as one, plus Bruce Banner who coincidentally ran to him to discuss scientific research projects shortly after hanging up the phone, and because of the aircraft carrier shell

Rhodes, who had to contact him almost every day for business matters, contributed four manpower to Shi Xiaolei on Stark's side alone.

After learning the news, there was also Chappell and others who said they would be temporarily closed for two days and came over from the store to help. Leaving aside the four girls Lisa, Claire, Julie and Skye, Chappell and Sanchez were the two guys.

He is also a strong laborer who can do hard work.

In addition, there was also Lao Liu who had received news from everyone in the restaurant and planned to come over to join in the fun, as well as several other neighbors who were notified by him.

Finally, we have to count Thor and Shi Xiaolei himself.

Although Mei has not been contacted yet, Ben has not joined, and Norman has not been notified, enough manpower has been gathered around Shi Xiaolei to complete the task.

"Eric?" Shi Xiaolei had expected the arrival of the others, but the appearance of this black guy in front of him made him a little surprised.

"Hi." Eric Brooks took off his fur coat, which he had always kept with him, and was wearing overalls that were very suitable for work. He jumped out of the pickup truck and grinned, showing his big white teeth.

He said hello to Shi Xiaolei: "I heard Chappell said you have set up an aid station here and need help from people to clean it up?"

"I mean, it was Chappell who told you." Shi Xiaolei finally understood what was going on: "Haha, you came just in time. Thanks, man."

"You're welcome."

Walking side by side with Shi Xiaolei, he bypassed the engineering fence erected to avoid affecting the city's appearance, and entered the construction site that was under construction. He saw the little girl Kangna passing by not far away carrying a basket of drinks.

Eric finally took off the sunglasses on his face: "Hi, Connor, do you still remember me?"

Kangna is worthy of being called the 'cutie of Chinatown'. Even a half-vampire who is used to acting cool with a straight face cannot resist her charm.

Yes, the Eric Brooks who came uninvited was also a famous figure on the road before, and Blade was his previous code name.

Because Shi Xiaolei intervened, the vampires who had been entrenched in the dark for hundreds of years quickly disappeared like snow under the scorching sun. As a vampire hunter, Eric also achieved his wish and no longer needed to be like before.

Running around like that, hanging my head on my belt and doing my best.

He had to face the problem of being laid off and changing jobs, and in the last operation, thanks to the rescue of Shi Xiaolei and Bayonetta, he was lucky enough to save his life...

So, after some consideration, Eric Brooks bought a store nearby in Chinatown and changed his job to become the owner of an auto repair shop.

Speaking of which, most of the shops opened in Chinatown, where Chinese are concentrated, are overseas Chinese and expatriates from China. There are not even many white bosses, let alone black bosses.

When Eric Brooks first settled in Chinatown and opened his store, he was not immediately accepted by the people living in this area... There were not many black owners opening stores here, and the neighbors were not happy.

Being too adaptable is just one of them, the key is that he also has the habit of showing off, and for Easterners who are cautious by nature, people like him are the ones everyone avoids.

Being able to blend in is actually thanks to Chappell.

The guy also liked tinkering with cars, and he was also a black man, so after discovering Eric's new auto repair shop, he would often go there and visit, and the two of them formed a good relationship.

friendship.

I don’t know Eric, but the neighbors are quite familiar with Chappell. After all, he is also an old employee of Shi Xiaolei’s store. Whether they go to his store to dine or call to request takeout, everyone is there.

I see Chappell often.

Just like before, for Shi Xiaolei's sake, he let go of his guard and accepted Chappell. It was Chappell's introduction and introduction that made the neighbors lower their guard and vigilance, and gradually accepted him through daily contact.

Here's newcomer Eric Brooks.

To this day, Eric is still doing well in Chinatown.

No, Lao Liu's smile when he greeted him after seeing him also proved this: "db, you are here too."

"Listen to Chapel. Good morning, guys."

"Haha, I knew it. This guy db will definitely come."

"Don't leave at noon. It's a rare opportunity to get together. Let's have a few drinks together."

"How much alcohol do you have? Come on, Lao Zhao, don't embarrass us."

The chatter was a bit loud, and the sound spread quite far. Chappell, who was busy in another auxiliary warehouse, poked his head out curiously and took a look.

"Hey, brother, you're here~." It was considered a manpower he had called. When he saw Eric arriving, of course Chappell had to come over to express his welcome.

"How could such a thing happen without me?" In response to Chappell's actions, Eric stretched out his arms and followed him with a set of fancy gestures among black people.

Only then did Shi Xiaolei find an opportunity and asked Eric curiously: "Man, is db your new nickname? When did you get it?"

"Isn't that cool? Haha, I got it for him." Before Eric could speak, Chappell said: "Boss, let me tell you, this is actually how this nickname came about.

.You know, Eric is a black man like me. According to your Chinese habits..."
