Leng Ning died, five years into the apocalypse. Yes, it was the classic old drama of betrayal by a lover and a sister.
When she died, she felt no reluctance, only a surge of resentment and se...
Chapter 577: Circuitous Strategy
Never mind. If the final result is to retire at Thunder Base, he will be satisfied with the result.
The Third City Lord was stunned, and his expression suddenly turned regretful.
"Is there no way to get around this rule?" He was really interested in these houses.
It is safe and in a good location. Even if you don't live there, it still has huge investment value.
The Second City Lord smiled again, "Do you think you are the only one with such vision? I heard from Jiang Huai that in the past month, the housing prices in Kang Town have increased by no less than 40%."
The third city lord's eyes suddenly widened.
"So exaggerated?" He couldn't help but calculate how much he could earn in a month if he bought a property at Thunder Base.
"Yes." The second city lord nodded.
"Before, that kid wanted to use his relationship with Hall Master Leng to invest in a few houses here, but unfortunately he failed." The Second City Lord smiled and said, "The Thunder Base has such a policy to prevent outsiders from buying property here and force everyone to integrate here."
"Those small bases before now seem really smart." The second city lord couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing that the Third City Lord had no reaction, the Second City Lord continued, "I had dealings with some small bases before, and I have heard some news about them during this period. After asking them, I found that they are living a pretty good life now."
The third city lord was stunned. "What kind of good idea is that?" he asked doubtfully.
“After the top leaders of those small bases came here, they basically got some official positions. Because of their unique vision, they invested in real estate and made a lot of money, among other things.” The second city lord said with some envy: “Also, the matter of the secret pill in the Thunder Base--” At this point, the second city lord lowered his voice.
"There really is a pill?!" The third city lord was very shocked.
Of course he had heard about this matter, but he had never waited for any conclusive evidence.
“Yes.” The Second City Lord glanced around, made sure no one noticed him, and whispered to the Third City Lord.
"What's going on?" the third city lord asked hurriedly.
His second brother hadn't told him such important news before.
Pills, that thing is said to be more effective than crystal cores.
It’s strange that Leng Ning was able to send so many experts to the Kuanglan base for rescue. Those experts must have relied on taking pills to upgrade their levels so quickly!
If the pills are real, then Thunder Base——
He didn't dare to think about it any further.
What does it mean that a base that can produce arms independently and has such a developed business now has drugs that can help people with special abilities to advance quickly?
"There is a senior executive of a small base who was a close friend of mine before the end of the world. He told me this himself." The Second City Lord said in a deep voice.
"The Thunder Army will keep statistics on all the supernatural people who have reached the top level of their class, and give them pills at a fixed time every day. He has used it too."
"How is the effect?" the third city lord asked immediately, feeling a little excited.
His two sons have been stuck at the peak of the second level for a long time. If the pills can help them advance, he will find a way to get them no matter what.
As members of the Jiang family, the two brothers were destined to work hard and sacrifice for the Jiang family, so it was necessary for them to serve in the military. But once they entered the military, they would most likely go to the battlefield.
Fighting zombies on the battlefield, your life will be in danger if you are not careful. Not only will you be killed by zombies, but the zombie virus is also a great threat.
Only by improving your own supernatural power level can you survive to the end on the battlefield.
In addition, as a superpower, only if you are strong enough can you gain the respect of your subordinates. For example, Jiang Huai.
That kid has no foundation at all, but the reason he can hold such great power now is largely because his supernatural power is thunder-related and his strength exceeds the third level.
"Of course the effect is good." The Second City Lord raised his voice slightly and said, "Not to mention those far away, just look at that kid Jiang Huai and the student beside him. They only reached the third level by taking the pills."
The third city lord's eyes lit up, "Really?" Jiang Huai has a close relationship with the Thunder Base, so the possibility is indeed very high.
Some people have said before that Jiang Huai reached the third level because of Thunder Base. Looking at this matter now, I’m afraid the probability is really not low.
"Yes." The second city lord nodded seriously.
"I asked Jiang Huai last night, and he admitted it."
The third city lord's eyes changed.
"You asked directly?" The boy was so wary, how could he be willing to tell the truth?
The second city lord laughed.
"Yes, I asked directly. I thought I could ask him for help, so I came here today and asked Master Leng to order some pills for Jiang Jing and Jiang Huan."
Jiang Jing and Jiang Huan are his two children, Jiang Jing is a son and Jiang Huan is a daughter. But no matter whether it is his son or his daughter, he cares about them.
He originally didn't have a good impression of Thunder Base. He used to be hostile to Thunder Base along with his eldest brother and third brother, but his daughter had the opposite opinion.
His daughter is a fire-type mutant, a very rare female combat-type.
The person she admired most was Master Leng of the Thunder Base, who said that she was the pride of their female combat-type psychics and hoped that she could fight alongside her one day.
Naturally, he didn't take it seriously.
However, the daughter was very concerned. Not only did she try hard to collect information about Leng Ning, she also secretly inquired about the Thunder Base. She even unknowingly became close to Jiang Huai.
He was somewhat opposed to this at first, but gradually he let it go.
Jiang Huai was his nephew after all, and was his cousin to Jiang Huan. Their conflicts or political disagreements were official business, and their normal interactions were private affairs, so he shouldn't interfere too much.
But it was during this period of time that he realized that he had underestimated Jiang Huai.
The boy knew that he couldn't convince him directly, so he actually took advantage of Jiang Huan and used Jiang Huan's mouth to persuade him.
Not only that, the little girl in his family really played a good chess piece. She first persuaded her big brother Jiang Jing who loved her very much, and then formed a united front with her big brother to persuade him together.
His son and daughter both surrendered to Jiang Huai, so what other ideas could he, as a father, have?
Well, considering Jiang Huai's methods and strategies, it won't be a big deal if Kuang Lan is handed over to him.
Furthermore, he had a good relationship with Jiang Jing and Jiang Huan, so he was not worried that Jiang Huai’s coming to power in the future would be detrimental to his two children.
When the Third City Lord heard this, his eyes suddenly changed.
"Why are you telling me now?!" he said angrily.
"Hehe..." The second city lord laughed out loud.
"When I asked Jiang Huai, I also asked for some for your two brothers." The three brothers have always had a good relationship, and as the second oldest brother, he rarely eats alone.
The third city lord's eyes lit up with joy for a moment, and then when he looked at the second city lord, there was a bit more touching and apologetic in his eyes.
During this period, because of the incident with Jiang Huai, he had some complaints towards his second brother.
