"Clap clap clap~"
Xu Xing clapped his hands: "Very good, welcome to the team!"
Then he turned around and ordered, "Wang Hu, go get a few barrels of gasoline and fill up Zhao Jie's truck."
"Okay!"
Wang Hu rummaged through the gas station and found several old plastic buckets. He filled them with water using a pump and then ran to the truck to start filling them.
Seeing this, Zhao Jie had already let go of the good news. Since the die was cast, he quickly adapted to his role and explained the purpose of his trip to Xu Xing.
"Boss... Boss, since the disaster, I and a few others have been living in that neighborhood. We came out to search because we ran out of supplies."
As Zhao Jie spoke, he seemed to grit his teeth as if making a decision, and said in a somewhat solemn tone, "We found a small supermarket before, and now the goods are all in the truck, so... consider it a contribution to the organization."
Xu Xing could sense the hesitation Zhao Jie was feeling when he said those words. Anyone would feel the same way; it would be hard to give away something you've worked so hard to collect.
However, Zhao Jie was clever. He didn't wait for Xu Xing to ask, but took the initiative to explain and handed over the supplies as a token of his loyalty.
Xu Xing listened attentively, a smile always on his lips: "I won't take your things. You can keep these for now. Come to me when you need more."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jie said somewhat anxiously, "We can't eat that much either, just a portion will do."
He completely ignored the somewhat disappointed look on the faces of his underlings behind him.
Xu Xing simply shook his head: "Let's talk about it later."
The leader gets the meat, and the underlings following behind Xu Xing get a sip of soup.
This includes Ye Kai and his group; a significant portion of the supplies remaining in the villa area are, in other words, their private property.
Xu Xing doesn't lack these things; the secret to winning the loyalty of his subordinates lies in making them feel that they are being treated better than before.
Xu Xing glanced at them a few more times and asked suspiciously, "Is this all the people you have under your command?"
Zhao Jie answered affirmatively, "Yes, that's all."
Xu Xing: "Is there not enough supplies in that small community? Or is most of it overrun by zombies?"
Zhao Jie sighed again: "Well, it's not zombies, but there are other survivors inside who have formed an alliance."
They've taken over most of the neighborhood. We had a conflict before, and two of us were killed by them.
"interesting."
Xu Xing gradually became interested.
Xu Xing then asked, "How many people do they have? How strong are they?"
To be honest, Xu Xing did have designs on that force. Since they had occupied the entire neighborhood, their resources must be abundant.
As for the crystal cores, if they figure out their uses, they will definitely have a considerable surplus.
Zhao Jie frowned and said, "When we had the conflict before, there were about twenty or thirty people on the other side, plus two dogs."
Most importantly, they have two leaders, both of whom are superhumans similar to me. One is extremely fast, and the other can make the surrounding air extremely cold.
I can beat one of them individually, but once they combine, we can't defeat them.
"It seems one has wind-based abilities and the other has ice-based abilities; these are fairly common types."
Xu Xing thought to himself.
Seeing that Xu Xing was thinking about something, Zhao Jie lowered his voice and continued.
"I also heard that they all escaped from prison cells. Those twenty-odd people were extremely cruel. The survivors who were originally alive in the community were fed to the zombies by them."
Many of these women were tortured to death by these men.
Zhao Jie's statement actually had its own ulterior motives.
After seeing Ye Kai's strength, he knew there was a huge difference between them. When he saw the size of the dog behind him, he felt even more that he was no match for him. As the leader of the group, Xu Xing must be very strong.
Therefore, he wanted to use Xu Xing to help him take revenge.
Of course, Zhao Jie is now on the same side as Xu Xing, so he certainly wouldn't do anything that would be detrimental to himself.
"You mean you can beat one of them? How did you get to this level of strength?"
Xu Xing had just learned from the information leaked by Zhao Jie that he had already reached the peak of level one and was only a little short of breaking through to level two.
"I...I don't know either, but after killing zombies before, I found a dark red substance in their brains, like crystal."
Out of curiosity, I collected them all and put them in a small cloth bag. That night, after sleeping with him, I woke up the next day to find that his strength had increased somewhat.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xing nodded in agreement: "You should have already discovered a certain pattern. For people like us, one of the major ways to grow is to absorb those dark red crystals, or crystal nuclei, by placing them in our palms."
Of course, the crystal core itself also diffuses some energy, which your body has the opportunity to absorb, which is why you feel your strength increasing.
After listening, Zhao Jie, being quite sensible, took out a small cloth bag containing about a dozen crystal cores and handed it to Xu Xing.
Xu Xing did not take over, and continued, "Since you were able to defeat one of them, it means that they also did not discover the use of the crystal core."
Then, changing the subject, he said, "You can use these for now." He then explained the rules and restrictions on their use to Zhao Jie again.
