Bai Feiming smiled and said, "I was rescued by Brother Wu from hundreds of zombies, Wen Yao was rescued by Brother Wu from a pervert, and Xiao Yu's experience proves that Brother Wu is a man of true feelings! Brother Wu, without you, there would be no us, and no Huaxi Valley Base."

Jiang Wu got goosebumps from the praise and changed the subject, saying, "When we get back this time, we need to find a way to hunt the giant monster in the lake. If we can hunt down a level three evolved beast, it might stimulate another batch of evolved humans. Blood Maiden said that the fresher the flesh and blood of an evolved beast, the stronger its benefits to the body."

Bai Feiming nodded and said, "This time, with the recapture of the county town, we have enough materials to complete both the construction and the traps. We should find a way to get fresh evolved beast flesh and blood. The newly joined warriors are still a bit weak, far inferior to the veteran foreign troops."

As the night deepened, the liveliness on the playground showed no signs of waning.

People sat around the fire, telling their stories and dreaming of a better future.

Jiang Wu, on the other hand, has more entertainment options.

They entered the dedicated tent early on.

Together with Bai Feiming and others, they sang a moving melody.

The next morning, the sunlight shone on the county town, which had just experienced a fierce battle, bringing a touch of warmth and hope.

The survivors rescued yesterday began their first day of work since the apocalypse.

They carried the food and supplies onto the trucks.

With no one supervising them and no one complaining, simply being able to survive is the best reward for them.

The soldiers, meanwhile, took turns excitedly collecting supplies.

Jiang Wu gave orders that each soldier had half a day to collect what they wanted.

This can be considered Jiang Wu's reward to everyone.

Although each person could only carry the contents of one backpack, they were overjoyed.

After all, this is a county town! The resources here are much more abundant than in the small towns and villages of the past!

At the entrances of several large supermarkets, soldiers carrying guns poured in like a joyful stream.

Upon entering the supermarket, their faces were filled with excitement and joy.

The dazzling array of goods on the shelves dazzled them. Some picked up bags of beautifully packaged snacks, their eyes sparkling with delight, as if they had returned to the wonderful days before the apocalypse.

"Hey, look at this chocolate! It's been so long since I've tasted this!" a soldier exclaimed excitedly.

"Damn! These are all good cigarettes!"

"Good betel nuts, good cigarettes, and good wine—life is more carefree than before the apocalypse!"

"If you like tobacco and alcohol, there's a tobacco and alcohol shop not far away."

"Holy crap! That son of a bitch, he ran so fast! Leave some for me too!"

Others chimed in, sharing their own discoveries.

They chatted and joked with each other as they selected supplies, their laughter echoing through the supermarket.

Besides their favorite foods, the female warriors also preferred daily necessities.

Some people pushed shopping carts, quickly moving between the shelves, putting all kinds of daily necessities and delicious food into the carts, their faces beaming with satisfaction.

Everyone was happy with their gains and full of expectations for the future.

Jiang Wu then took the four women to the only high-end shopping mall in the county.

Before the apocalypse, Jiang Wu was an ordinary worker who had never bought high-end goods and was too lazy to come to such upscale places.

Upon entering the mall, he was amazed by the luxurious decorations and exquisite merchandise.

He slowly walked past each counter, looking at the expensive clothes, exquisite jewelry, and high-end electronic products, a complex emotion welling up inside him.

He gently stroked a soft-textured shirt, feeling the delicate material.

Jiang Wu couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I don't think I've ever touched these things before."

Su Ziyu hugged Jiang Wu's arm and smiled, "Sooner or later, we will be able to reclaim those big cities and build bases for hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. And you, Brother Wu, will be the uncrowned king then."

Jiang Wu laughed heartily and said, "You're too optimistic. I don't like to think of things as too wonderful."

Then, Jiang Wu looked at Nangong Wenyao and Li Qingxuan and said with a smile, "Were you both from wealthy families before? You probably never imagined that your husbands used to be rough construction workers."

Nangong Wenyao smiled and said, "My home is alright, but it's still far inferior to Sister Feiming's. Besides, Brother Wu, you're not rough at all."

Li Qingxuan looked at Bai Feiming shyly and said, "My parents are both senior executives in Feiming's subordinate companies. I've heard of Feiming before."

Bai Feiming hadn't expected this connection. She took Li Qingxuan's hand and smiled, "It's quite a coincidence. We were family before the apocalypse, and now we're even more family."

Jiang Wu shrugged and teased Su Ziyu, "Little Yu, it seems like we're the only two country bumpkins here. Come on, let me take you shopping. Take whatever you like, it's on me."

Su Ziyu chuckled, her eyes glistening as she looked at Jiang Wu.

She only shows this expression when she is facing Jiang Wu.

......

The resources possessed by a county with a permanent population of over 80,000 would not have been much in the pre-apocalyptic world.

But in today's context, for the Huaxi Valley base, it's an enormous amount.

Even if they found eighty more intact trucks in the county town, combined with the original vehicles, they still couldn't move much in one trip.

In the county town, trucks carrying supplies and soldiers were everywhere.

Food, winter supplies, and building materials are the priorities.

Jiang Wu, meanwhile, led Bai Feiming and the other three women on a leisurely stroll around the county town.

Time passed day by day.

The massive convoy from Huaxi Valley Base constantly shuttled between Rong County and Donghu Base.

The other factions were all dumbfounded.

I don't know what the Huaxi Valley base is doing.

But no one dared to ask any further questions.
