This is a middle-aged man who is dressed elegantly and is slightly overweight.

When Ji Xian saw him in the luxurious reception hall, he still had wet hair and was wearing an overcoat. Behind him were two hot women in bikinis, whose hair was also wet.

Ji Xian could easily guess what the city lord and the two beauties had been doing before this.

Ji Xian didn't stand on ceremony and introduced himself directly: "Hello, my name is Ji Xian. I just came out of a closed shelter. It's nice to meet you."

The city lord spoke in a condescending tone: "I am Chanx, what business do you have with me?"

Ji Xian directly stated his purpose, offering to provide Chanks with some food in exchange for his troops' assistance.

But when the topic turned to the fact that their opponents were the soldiers of the fishing port, Chanks angrily retorted, "What? You're telling me to go against the fishing port?"

Ji Xian scratched his head awkwardly: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to borrow your troops to help protect City 1062."

“That won’t do either. Come to think of it, the fishing port has always been well-behaved. Why would it suddenly run so far away and attack a small city? Did you offend the fishing port?” Chanks asked, squinting at Ji Xian.

If that were the case, Chanks intended to have the two men in front of him tied up immediately and handed them over to the fishing port, but he heard that Ji Xian had a lot of food, so he held back and wanted to hear what Ji Xian had to say.

Ji Xian also understood that if the conversation didn't go well, Qianx might have to resort to some underhanded tactics.

Ji Xian could only say, "They have their eyes on the food and supplies in my shelter. Attacking City 1062 is just the first step. The next step is naturally to start searching for my shelter and take all the food and supplies inside for themselves. But who would give away these supplies for free? That's why I found you. If you can help me protect City 1062, I am willing to give you half of the supplies in my shelter."

Chanks didn't say anything, but he was intrigued. "Let me see your supplies."

Ji Xian smiled and said, "No problem, I brought some with me. If you agree, I'd like to give you a bag of grain first."

Chanks' eyes lit up: "Okay, let's go take a look."

The group arrived outside the manor, next to Ji Xian's car.

Ji Xian had five bags of food brought from the real world in his car.

Each bag weighs 50 kilograms, and the bags look big and full.

Ji Xian brought them out and opened all five bags without hesitation.

These five bags contain five different types of grain.

It contains rice, millet, corn, red dates, and hawthorn.

When it was opened, everyone's eyes widened.

The city lord stopped in his tracks, a greedy look appearing in his eyes.

Not to mention the bikini-clad beauties following closely behind him.

The two soldiers guarding the gate, who had been secretly glancing at the beautiful woman, were also drawn to the contents of the bag, swallowing hard as they looked at the supplies inside.

"So many?!" Chanx exclaimed.

Ji Xian introduced them: "This is rice, this is millet, and there are also corn, red dates and hawthorn. Of course, these are just samples. If you, Lord City Lord, can help me, then I will give you more grain."

Without hesitation, Chanks immediately said, "Alright, alright, I agree to send troops."

Ji Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Lord City Lord is wise; this is a wise decision."

Chanks added, "Since you've brought all these samples, you can leave them to me."

Ji Xian shook his head: "As I said before, I can give you a sample bag. When you send out your troops, I will give you another 100 bags of grain. What do you think?"

"100 bags?" Even the wealthy and powerful Chanks couldn't help but exclaim, "Good, very good then, I'll take this bag..."

Before Chanks could finish speaking, two bikini-clad beauties behind him had already chosen him.

"I want this one!"

"I want this one!"

Each of them pointed to red dates and hawthorns, one wanting red dates and the other wanting hawthorns.

Chances shook his head. "What's so good about dates and hawthorns? They're so big, you can't eat them for long. You might as well have corn."

The three disagreed, and Chanks looked at Ji Xian again, asking, "Can't we all stay?"

Ji Xian shook his head again and said, "When you send out your troops, all of these will be given to you as a gift."

Seeing that Ji Xian was unwilling to give everything, Qianx could only choose corn in the end.

Ji Xian asked Lingling to help him pack up and reload the truck. He and Qianx exchanged contact information so they could arrange a time for deployment later.

As for whether we can get in touch due to the distance, with Lingling around, that's not a concern.

After leaving City 1055, Ji Xian immediately headed towards Gasoline Town.

On the way, Lingling said, "They sent people to follow us."

Ji Xian said, "Let's ignore them for now."

Their current destination is Gas Town, and the tracking will also lead to Gas Town, so it doesn't matter.

Gasoline Town is not like other towns.

Instead, it was in a canyon surrounded by sand.

The valley is flanked by mountains, which form a natural barrier, while the entrance to the valley is a huge gate made of massive, heavy logs.

When Ji Xian arrived, the guards at the entrance and on both sides of the mountain peaks all appeared with weapons.

"Who dares to trespass into Gasoline Town?"

Ji Xian noticed that all of these people were bald, thin, and looked strange, unlike normal people.

All of this was told to Ji Xian: because of oil extraction and the lack of proper pollution treatment equipment, the water quality here is problematic, to the point that everyone here suffers from heavy metal poisoning, and hair loss is just one of the problems.
