Wei Lun stepped to the front and said, "Everyone, the base has acquired a batch of Level 2 enhancement agents. The team leader will now distribute one to each of you!"

After they finished speaking, the team leaders began distributing the Level 2 enhancement agents.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy. In the apocalypse, even a Level 1 Enhancer could become a superior person, let alone a Level 2 Enhancer, who were the pillars of humanity and basically the managers of various human settlements.

After everyone had received their injections, most of them had smiles on their faces. They were even more convinced that following Boss Wei Lun was the right thing to do.

"Long live the boss!"

Everyone cheered; everyone was full of energy.

Taking advantage of the assembly, Wei Lun began his address. Walking up to the group, he waved his hand to signal for silence.

The entire room fell silent.

"Gentlemen, next, we need to consider moving into the settlement. This base will become our logistical base. I know that many of you came from the valley stronghold, and your relatives and friends are now living here. You have fought alongside me to conquer the world, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

Wei Lun spoke loudly about his future plans, specifically regarding settling in the settlement. He had decided to give it a try.

Now that everyone is a Level 2 Enhancer, even if the Sixth Settlement isn't that safe, their own guards should be able to carve out a territory for themselves.

The group exchanged glances. Although the boss had decided to expand to the settlement, everyone knew that staying at the base wasn't a long-term solution.

For example, now everyone lives in tents outdoors. A real base requires a large complex of buildings, factories, and a complete management structure.

Clearly, the current base lacks these features and can only serve as a temporary transit point.

Weren continued, “Gentlemen, it is fate that we are gathered together. Although I can guarantee you food, clothing, shelter and transportation, we must continue to move forward in order to preserve our lives. Moreover, there are many people in this end times who need our help. Humanity in the end times must unite for us to have hope!”

Wei Lun spoke with righteous indignation, stirring the hearts of everyone present. Yes, we have a greater goal: to save all of humanity! How can we just live a life of humiliation and cowardice in this base?

Humanity must unite to have hope!

After Wei Lun finished speaking, he instructed the group leaders to lead their members to work, while Wei Lun himself took Qin Mutong's hand and walked into the courtyard.

The two sat close together on the sofa on the first floor.

"Mu Tong, we're heading to the gathering place. Who do you think would be the best person to handle this matter?"

If you want to invest in a community, you need to provide a lot of boxed meals and cigarettes as a prerequisite. Otherwise, how could the bigwigs of these communities possibly agree?

"Honey, Lin Xinyue should be able to handle it. They're shrewd, and it'll prevent us from getting taken advantage of!"

Qin Mutong said that she didn't actually know who was suitable to go. Only Zeng Guangtian, Lei Long, and Lin Xinyue had actually been to the Sixth Gathering Place.

Of the three, Lin Xinyue was the most clever; she went several times and always returned with a full load.

"Lin Xinyue just came back. I was originally thinking of letting him rest. It seems that our base is also short of personnel."

Wei Lun was somewhat worried. The settlement was indeed a den of dragons and tigers, and the complex relationships within it were not something anyone could easily navigate.

Thinking of Lin Xinyue, Wei Lun's impression of him was simple: an honest, reliable, and intelligent person, perfectly suited to help the base expand its market.

"Mu Tong, go and call Lin Xinyue over. I want to talk to him!"

After some thought, Wei Lun agreed to Qin Mutong's proposal. This time, he would send Lin Xinyue to negotiate the investment in the settlement.

Qin Mutong got off Wei Lun and reluctantly went to call Lin Xinyue.

About three minutes have passed.

Qin Mutong then brought Lin Xinyue in together, and they sat on the sofa again.

Wei Lun crossed his legs and ate a crystal pear.

"Lin Xinyue, thank you for your hard work. I have something to give you again now that you've just gotten back."

Wei Lun looked embarrassed and tossed a crystal pear into Lin Xinyue's hand.

"Here, have one too, it tastes good."

Wei Lun smiled and said that, then began to think about investing in the settlement.

Lin Xinyue held the crystal pear, her mouth watering; she was so tempted! Then she started to devour it, taking big bites.

As expected, the boss eats the best food; he even has the freshest fruit.

Normally, Wei Lun and Qin Mutong eat the fruit; even Qin Jiayou and Zeng Guangtian never have the chance to eat it, because it's actually snacks that Wei Lun buys for Qin Mutong.

"Lin Xinyue, you said you'd invest in the gathering place, how much stock would be appropriate for us to provide?"

Wei Lun was in a dilemma. If he offered too much, wouldn't he be seen as a sucker later? But if he offered too little, it would be impossible to reach an agreement. It was obvious that the reason why the Sixth Gathering allowed Wei Lun to invest was to obtain a large amount of resources such as boxed lunches and cigarettes.

Lin Xinyue finished the entire crystal pear in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a core.

"Boss, that's easy to do. We have the resources, and we have the initiative to decide how to negotiate."

Lin Xinyue said confidently, "The most important thing in negotiations is leverage, and the resources I control are my biggest leverage."

"Oh, tell me about it."

Wei Lun asked, expressing his agreement with Lin Xinyue's viewpoint but unsure how to proceed with the negotiations at the base.

"Boss, in my opinion, 2,000 boxed meals and 500 cartons of cigarettes will suffice!"

Lin Xinyue said that they could actually offer more bases, but too many would make people feel like they were being ripped off.

2000 boxed meals and 500 cartons of cigarettes—that's just the right amount; not too much, not too little.

Wei Lun thought about it and agreed.

Are you sure you can reach an agreement on something this small?

Wei Lun was somewhat skeptical. After all, the Sixth Settlement was a large-scale human outpost, and the bigwigs there were not naive people.

"Boss, our boxed meals and cigarettes are things they can only dream of. Last time, the 400 boxed meals and 40 cartons of cigarettes that Wang Lieyun brought back were enough to pique their interest. This time, we're going to increase it to 2,000 boxed meals and 500 cartons of cigarettes. Plus, if we can guarantee a stable supply in the future, they'll definitely agree."

Lin Xinyue added from the side, "Most importantly, the appetites of the higher-ups in the settlement have been whetted, and Wei Lun's base can provide supplies long-term."

In the apocalypse, those who can provide long-term supplies are a scarce resource, and this is the biggest bargaining chip for the base in negotiations with the Sixth Settlement.

"Very well, in that case, Lin Xinyue, you should take the goods to the Sixth Gathering Place now to discuss this investment matter!"

Wei Lun gave the order, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. He would be able to become a high-ranking member of the settlement from now on. After becoming a shareholder, he would finally have a place in the apocalypse!
