Pan Han definitely cannot establish a safe stronghold on his own.

We need to find someone.

The system had previously said that this other world originally had 600 billion people, but now there were less than 600 million left. He had to find some reliable people here, which frankly was a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, he felt that it should not be difficult to recruit some people who would work for him through food.

After all, in the end times, food is the most scarce thing.

Just as he was thinking about it, the cold muzzle of a gun was pressed against the back of his head.

"Don't move, or I'll beat you to death!" A familiar voice came from behind.

It’s her, a 9-point girl!

"What's wrong? Have you finished your chewing gum?" Pan Han remembered her voice and asked jokingly.

"It's you?" The 9-point girl didn't recognize Pan Han in that outfit.

"Yes, it's me. We meet again!" said Pan Han.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I'm here because I have something important to do."

"What are you going to do?"

"Looking for gold!"

The 9-point girl once again looked at Pan Han as if he were an idiot.

It's been eight years since the end of the world. Who still uses gold? It's too soft for a wall tile and too hard for a pillow.

These days, people only care about whether they have enough to eat, whether they have medicine, and whether they have enough weapons.

"If you can provide me with some chewing gum, I can help you find gold." said the 9-point girl.

"So, who are you?" Pan Han asked.

"I am a mercenary in the end times!" said the 9-point girl naturally.

"The kind where you get paid to do things?" This was the first time Pan Han had heard of this kind of job.

"Get the resources and get things done. Money is useless here!" said the 9-point girl.

"Why do you always appear here?" Pan Han asked.

"There's a mercenary mission release point nearby, which releases missions every day." The 9-point girl answered.

"Did you just receive the task, or just hand it in?" Pan Han asked.

"This has nothing to do with you. If you have food, I can help you find gold." said the 9-point girl.

"I do have some food, but how can I trust you? What if you kill people and steal the treasure?" Pan Han said.

"Are you stupid? If I shoot you to death right now, all your things will still be mine," said the 9-point girl.

It is indeed the right choice to put most of the things in the space. Otherwise, the wealth exposed outside will bring disaster.

"I only have one can of food. How much gold can I get in exchange?" Pan Han decided to trust the 9-point girl because she had two chances to take action but didn't.

"Let's take a look." The 9-point girl put away her gun.

Pan Han slowly took out a can of luncheon meat from his backpack and handed it to the other party.

The 9-point girl obviously hadn't seen canned meat for a long time. She took out a dagger and pried it open easily.

The aroma of mixed spices intoxicated the 9-point girl. She hadn't eaten proper meat in a long time. The meat patties she'd eaten the most in recent years were made from cockroaches and maggots.

"Aren't you afraid it's poisonous?" Pan Han suddenly asked.

"I doubt whether you are from an alien planet. Anyone who can survive until now in the apocalypse must be immune to all poisons?" The 9-point girl said disdainfully.

It makes so much sense that I can't refute it.

The 9-point girl didn't care about Pan Han anymore, she picked up the luncheon meat with a dagger and ate it in big mouthfuls.

It’s really luncheon meat!

Is there anything more delicious in the world?

No more, absolutely no more!

The 9-point girl was filled with mixed emotions, and she ignored Pan Han's gaze and finished the can in just a few bites.

"Awesome!" The 9-point girl couldn't help but yell out.

At some point, Pan Han had another can of Coke in his hand. He had secretly taken it out from the space while the 9-point girl was eating the can.

"Come, moisten your throat." Pan Han handed the Coke to the 9-point girl.

"Is this, Coke???" the 9-point girl asked in disbelief.

"Yes! The kind with sugar! It will make you very happy!" Pan Han said.

The 9-point girl took the Coke and observed it as if she was holding a jadeite worth tens of millions.

Bang! The Coke was opened.

The 9-point girl carefully took a sip and found it was real Coke! It even felt a little iced.

Drinking Coke is so happy! Keep drinking and you will be happy forever!

Soon, the whole bottle was finished by the 9-point girl!

She shouted again: "It feels so good!"

With this personality, she must be a bold woman! Pan Han thought.

But Pan Han didn't know that in the end times, this kind of sugary item could be exchanged for many treasures, such as weapons and slaves. As for taking a few people's lives, that was even easier.

The 9-point girl couldn't help but burp!

"Hahaha!" She laughed heartily. It had been many years since she had eaten so happily.

"Very good, tell me how much gold you want. I'll accept this task!" The 9-point girl said to Pan Han.

"Of course the more the better!" Pan Han was not polite. He finally understood the importance of food.

"We should still have a few hundred grams in our base. Lao Liu and his men searched for it before and planned to keep it for making gold teeth. Come with me and I'll give you all." said the 9-point girl.

They are a team and have a base. Just when I was about to sleep, someone brought me a pillow.

"Your base? Are they all mercenaries?" Pan Han asked.

"Yes, there are 7 people in total. I am the seventh one." said the girl who scored 9 points.

"Okay, I have nowhere to sleep. Can I sleep at your place tonight?" Pan Han asked.

"If you can come up with some more canned food, we'll all let you sleep." The 9-point woman didn't hesitate at all. In the end times, exchanging one's body for food was perfectly normal.

"I want to sleep with you, not with you!" said Pan Han.

"Before you go, tell me your name first. Otherwise I can't introduce you." said the 9-point girl.

"My name is Pan Han!"

"My name is Cheng Xiao!"

“Please lead the way!”

"It's too far to walk, let's drive."

“Good driving, good driving!”

Cheng Xiao led Pan Han through many twists and turns until they arrived at an underground garage, where a large SUV parked right in front of them.

"Can you still find gasoline?" Pan Han asked.

"We occupied an oil depot before, and there's quite a lot of stock."

"Do I need to blindfold myself?" Pan Han knew the rules of the underworld.

"No need!" Cheng Xiao had just finished speaking when she swung her hand and knocked Pan Han unconscious.

"Why am I so weak? I just used 10% of my strength." Cheng Xiao muttered and started the off-road vehicle.

About 30 minutes later, the SUV arrived at the base. It was called a base, but in reality, it was just a two-story building with its own entrance and courtyard. Before the apocalypse, it was a villa, but now it had only been rigged up with some barbed wire and barbed wire. It could only protect against a few scattered zombies, not even small-scale human attackers.

Cheng Xiao also had her own selfish motives. She instinctively felt that Pan Han was someone special. He actually had canned food and Coke, and his appearance was also unusual. Perhaps this was the team's chance to turn things around, and they had to seize it.
