To get rich, build roads first? No, Wang Bin has a better way to get rich: go to the apocalypse and move gold bricks. One trip there and back and he'll easily become a billionaire!
That...
Two more months passed, and the construction of Wangyue Peak was nearing completion. Not only were three tall and sturdy city walls rebuilt, but a portion of the mountain's interior was also excavated, which could accommodate more than 20,000 people.
Below Wangyue Peak, the rice paddies are a golden expanse. With this harvest, everyone's food supply will be secured, and Wang Bin will no longer need to bring large quantities of supplies every week to sustain their livelihoods.
Wang Bin is only carrying a small amount of food; most of his supplies are other construction materials.
Looking at the lush, green forests everywhere, Wang Bin decided not to develop heavy industry in the apocalypse. Except for some necessities, he would use environmentally friendly energy sources for everything. Therefore, the supplies he brought were all environmentally friendly building materials, such as solar generators and wind generators. In addition, Wang Bin also planned to build a hydroelectric power station. However, considering that the threat of zombies has not yet been completely eliminated, these buildings can only be considered later.
In addition to being able to feed themselves with crops, everyone also raised a lot of livestock and built a batch of wooden boats. People went out to fish every day, and with the addition of various newly planted vegetables, everyone's food was very plentiful.
Many survivors who received the news rushed over. Wang Bin, Uncle Li, and others discussed and decided to set up a new camp on a mountain peak next to Wangyue Peak so that more people could live there.
Once Wang Bin saw that everything was running normally, he gathered Uncle Li and the others together again and announced his decision.
"In a few days, I plan to lead a group of people north to unite with other forces."
"What are we going to do by joining forces with other powers?"
"According to my analysis, every once in a while, our various camps are attacked by hundreds of millions of zombies led by King-level zombies, and the intensity of each attack is stronger than the last. So I think this must be because there are Saint-King-level zombies controlling it from behind. To completely solve the zombie crisis, we must kill these Saint-King zombies."
"According to Sister Fang's prophecy, there are five Saint King-level zombies in this world, one of which is located in the Asian continent, inland in our country."
"I estimate that with our current strength, we are not strong enough to kill this Saint King-level zombie, so I want to unite with other forces to kill this Saint King-level zombie together and completely eliminate this threat to us!"
"I agree with the king's plan. To let other forces know our strength, the people the king brings this time cannot be too weak!"
"That's right. If we bring too few people, not only will they look down on us, but even if we manage to defeat the Saint King level zombie in the future, it will be difficult to seize the Saint King Magic Core!"
"Alright, then let's discuss the manpower issue. We need to have a deterrent effect, but we also need to ensure the safety of Wangyue Peak!"
After some discussion, it was finally decided that Wang Bin would lead a hundred people out. A Bao, Xiao Nan, and Huo Yan were among the group, while Li Dazhu was assigned to guard the house, since he was now the Minister of National Defense and his affairs were at Wangyue Peak.
Jin Yuanyuan also planned to go, but she had just become pregnant and could only stay at home.
To achieve a deterrent effect, Miao Ruyun and Guan Xiaoyue also went along. Now, their superpower level has reached level three, and their strength has greatly improved.
Wang Bin wanted to continue raising their superpower levels, but unfortunately, the magic power they needed for each level was too much. They were only able to raise them to level three at the moment, but even so, their strength still far surpassed Wang Bin's.
Many people on Wangyue Peak have now reached the maximum level of their superpowers. Not to mention key trainees like Li Dazhu, Abao, and Xiaonan, whose superpower levels are already at the maximum and who are all powerful, this has raised the overall strength of Wangyue Peak by many levels.
On the day Wang Bin set off, everyone lined the road to see him and his companions off.
This trip involved two King-level superhumans, thirty superhumans, and sixty-eight max-level ordinary superhumans. With such strength, no force would dare to provoke them easily.
To make everyone more comfortable on the journey, Wang Bin arranged five buses so that everyone could lie down and rest when they were tired.
With him as a mobile warehouse, there's no need to worry about food and gasoline along the way.
Their first stop was Haidu, a major coastal city that was the closest to them.
According to the radio broadcast, they have successfully defended against the zombie horde, although the losses have been quite heavy.
Along the way, Wang Bin and his group encountered many zombies in various cities, and they also dealt with some of them and collected some magic cores.
Currently, everyone following Wang Bin, except for Miao Ruyun and Guan Xiaoyue, has had their superpowers upgraded to the maximum level. These magic cores were all obtained for the two of them.
No one had any reason to complain, since their level had been raised by the combined efforts of everyone. Moreover, the higher Miao Ruyun and Guan Xiaoyue's superpower level, the stronger they became, and the more influence they had, so no one dared to provoke them.
Even though Haidu was the closest city, it still took them more than twenty days to reach it.
A long time has passed since the last zombie horde, but the city walls here are dilapidated and look very run-down, which makes everyone frown.
Their arrival quickly attracted a lot of attention, as five brand-new buses were no ordinary luxury.
Since the apocalypse began, everyone has been driving the old cars, and having gasoline was considered a luxury. But now they see five brand-new buses.
Upon inquiring, they discovered there were only one hundred people on the bus, which made many gangs in the city envious.
As soon as Wang Bin and his group entered the city, they planned to find a place to stay before visiting the bigwigs of Haidu to recruit them to kill the Saint King-level zombies, eliminate the threat, and allow everyone to live a peaceful life.
The convoy had barely entered the city when it was stopped by a group of more than two thousand people.
When the people around saw the Black Dog Gang make their move, they were all too frightened to approach and kept their distance.
Wang Bin felt a little annoyed when he saw that he had been stopped. He really didn't expect to be targeted so soon after arriving.
"Everyone get out of the vehicles and prepare for battle!"
"Yes, sir!"
Upon receiving Wang Bin's order, everyone got out of the car. Wang Bin then confiscated the cars. Although these cars didn't cost him much money, the large-scale purchases he made each time he returned always attracted the attention and suspicion of many people.
The sight of the cars suddenly disappearing left everyone around stunned, wondering what kind of ability Wang Bin possessed.
"Where did you come from? Do you know that this is our Black Dog Gang's territory? You have to pay protection money here, you know that?" As soon as Wang Bin and his group stood still, a shirtless man with a large tuft of black hair on his chest stepped forward and said.
"Oh, I wonder how this protection fee is paid?" Wang Bin said casually.
"Not much. Just hand over four buses and a thousand magic cores each!" the man said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Wang Bin and the others' faces darkened. They had seen black gangs before when they were in Fuzhou, but none as ruthless as these.
It was clear that the other party knew they were newcomers and were planning to rob them.
