The people of Hope City set off again.

However, this time the convoy included several off-road vehicles.

Qiao Yu and the people from Jinyu County have decided to join Hope City. Next, Qiao Yu will lead most of the ordinary people to settle in Hope City.

Meanwhile, the experts from Jinyu County, including Chen Junyu and his group, followed the main force from Hope City to seek the opportunity mentioned by the city lord.

This isn't about taking care of them; it's about surveillance.

Hope City is currently vulnerable. If Qiao Yu were to lead a group of experts to Hope City, the city lord would be uneasy and it's very likely that Hope City would have a new master upon his return.

Although Qiao Yu might not have the guts to seize the city, what if he were to take all the supplies in Hope City?

This is possible.

Therefore, he could only take a group of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled with him first.

Meanwhile, a group of experts followed the main force to seek opportunities.

As the top expert in Jinyu County, Chen Junyu naturally had to join the team. Qiao Ruoxi was also in the team. She had some strength, but she wasn't considered an expert. The reason she was allowed to come along was because she was Qiao Yu's daughter.

Taking her along is somewhat like taking her hostage.

Qiao Yu readily agreed.

He was also hoping that Qiao Ruoxi could get along well with Zhang Lin and then secure benefits for the newcomers from Jinyu County who had joined Hope City.

Qiao Ruoxi was very upset about this.

Previously, she had been keeping Chen Junyu hanging on as her father instructed, and now she had been promised to marry him. Now, she also had to work on her relationship with Zhang Lin...

Qiao Ruoxi felt like a social butterfly, constantly surrounded by powerful figures, unable to control her own destiny.

Therefore, she was not in a good mood the whole way.

Chen Junyu was driving, and she was sitting in the passenger seat. Seeing that his goddess was in a bad mood, Chen Junyu immediately became anxious, "Xixi, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Actually, he was worried: 'Is she unhappy because she married me?'

"My dad wants me to get along well with Zhang Lin, but... he's such a domineering person, I don't even know how to start a conversation with him!" Qiao Ruoxi said dejectedly.

"What? Uncle Qiao even let you..." Chen Junyu was shocked. He felt like he was being cuckolded, and his mood immediately soured.

Especially Zhang Lin...

Chen Junyu admitted that he just wanted to show off at the time. After all, Zhang Lin was just an unknown person. He felt that if he stood up and suppressed Zhang Lin's arrogance, he could not only win the heart of the goddess and the favor of his father-in-law, but also make a name for himself in Hope City.

So he took action.

result……

If it weren't for the secret medicine in Jinyu County, he would have become Yang Guo by now.

He felt deeply humiliated and regarded Zhang Lin as an enemy, wanting to kill him as soon as possible.

And now, his goddess and fiancée are actually taking the initiative to build a good relationship with him!

this……

Chen Junyu suddenly tightened his grip on the steering wheel, as if he wanted to crush it.

"Don't misunderstand, my dad just wants me to get along well with him." Qiao Ruoxi was startled by his reaction and quickly explained, "He didn't ask me to do anything."

"That won't do either!" Chen Junyu said in a deep voice.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Qiao Ruoxi was also getting anxious. "There are so many people in Jinyu County, and we'll all have to work under him to make a living. If we don't build a good relationship with him, what will we do if he treats us differently in the future?"

"Hope City belongs to the city lord!" Chen Junyu said indignantly, "It doesn't belong to Zhang Lin. Let's go talk to the city lord later."

Qiao Ruoxi shook her head and didn't say anything more.

Nobody's a fool.

Zhang Lin was so arrogant before, not even putting the city lord in his eyes, but in the end, wasn't it the city lord who benefited?

After a fierce battle, Hope City lost no one, yet managed to obtain the largest share of the Golden Crowned Eagle's remains.

That's obvious.

The city lord and Zhang Lin are actually in cahoots; they're just putting on an act.

In the future, when making a living in Hope City, you can't afford to offend either the city lord or Zhang Lin.

After Qiao Ruoxi understood this, she only felt that Chen Junyu's words were childish, and she was too lazy to even reply.

Chen Junyu felt even more aggrieved, his face tense as he stared straight ahead.

My fiancée is going to try and improve her relationship with her enemy...

The problem is that he has absolutely no solution!

"Where did this person come from?!" he roared in frustration and resentment, losing even the joy of about marrying his goddess.

...

"Zhang Lin, where did you get your knife from?"

The convoy stopped at the foot of a small hill, and everyone got out of the vehicles, each carrying their own weapons, and walked up the hill in a line.

Lu Dazhao surrounded Zhang Lin, looking him up and down.

Zhang Lin's hands were empty, without any weapons, but he could always pull out his long and sharp Miao sword when it mattered most.

That was a cool move.

Lu Dazhao had been eyeing it for a long time. He wanted to ask when they fought the zombie army last time, but he forgot about it. When they were fighting the Golden Crown Giant Eagle, Zhang Lin suddenly pulled out his knife, and he finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's a secret family technique passed down through generations, only to men, so don't ask," Zhang Lin casually replied.

Lu Dazhao stared wide-eyed, circling around Zhang Lin, looking at every part of his body, trying to figure out where such a large knife could be hidden.

Finally, his gaze fell on Zhang Lin's buttocks.

"You wouldn't be..."

His eyes widened in shock.

Zhang Lin was immediately speechless and couldn't help but curse, "Come on, let me shove your Green Dragon Crescent Blade behind your back and see what happens!" After saying that, he was about to snatch the blade, pretending to really try it.

Lu Dazhao smiled and dodged the question, not asking any further.

As they talked and laughed, the group arrived halfway up the mountain. The city lord, familiar with the route, led them to the outside of a cave.

“Inside the cave, there is a nest of rats that are transforming into extraordinary creatures. They currently have no combat power.” The city lord pointed to the dark cave entrance and said, “These rats are not strong in combat, but there are many of them and they are small targets, so they are not easy to deal with. You cannot be careless.”

"The opportunity you're talking about is just a bunch of rats?" Zhang Lin walked to the entrance of the hole, peered inside, and after finding nothing, turned back in surprise and asked, "What good would killing these rats do?"

“Each rat is a semi-transcendent creature, already possessing a demon core, which can be used to make blood pills.” The city lord glared at him. “What benefits do you think there are?”

As soon as she said this, everyone present smiled.

Blood pills!

The key issue is that the rats haven't fully transformed into extraordinary beings, so their strength is not great.

There's virtually no risk involved in boosting basic attributes.

After improving his attributes, he obtained a Transcendent Template Awakening Potion. After awakening the Transcendent Template, his strength directly skipped the initial stage and received an upgrade.

Who wouldn't be happy?

Zhang Lin also became somewhat interested. "City Lord, with so many of us, if we kill just one nest of rats, will the blood pills we make be enough to go around?"

"Do you have trypophobia?" The city lord glanced at him, then sneered, "The 'nest' I'm talking about might be a little different from the 'nest' you're thinking of."
