A few days passed in the blink of an eye, the heavy snow had completely melted, and the weather had returned to normal.
Li Xin'er didn't wait for Leng Luo to arrive with the mutated beast, but Carl and his group had a very fruitful harvest every day they went out.
During the meal, everyone gathered together and chatted about recent events.
Qin Siye had worked at the base before, so he recognized many of the people there.
“There are Level 1 zombies everywhere outside. Besides us, I see that the base has also mobilized quite a few people.”
Qian Leduo continued to partner with Qin Siye. Although he didn't have any special abilities, the two worked together very well.
"It's all for crystal cores. The base has started exchanging crystal cores for supplies. And those people living in the safe zone also have to hand over crystal cores every month as rent."
The vulture, gnawing on a large chicken leg, its mouth dripping with oil, didn't forget to chime in with its own praise.
"Yes, not only the base, but also the western part of the city has started to circulate crystal cores. I even saw people buying and selling people, which used crystal cores."
Their operations were rather dispersed; they scouted many areas of S City, including the chaotic western part of the city, which he had, of course.
Mentioning the west side of the city, Li Xin'er at the next table suddenly became interested.
Are there still many people in the west of the city?
At this moment, without the vulture needing to answer, Carl was the first to respond.
"Besides the base, the western part of S City has the most people. Most of them are unwilling to enter the base and be bound by the rules, but they have some ideas and want to develop their own power."
Li Xin'er nodded knowingly, "How's the situation over there?"
"There are a few factions that have even formed a trading market, but they are all small-scale operations."
For the person who established the War Wings, even if these forces had a hundred or two more men, they were still not worthy of his attention; they were just a mob.
Li Xin'er understood that Carl had high standards, and only gave him a slight reminder.
"We shouldn't underestimate them; we should pay more attention to them."
Carl sensed that Li Xin'er still had some interest in these people, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I will find out about those forces."
After the two finished speaking, the others continued talking, and the golden eagle boasted to everyone:
"I only need a dozen or so more to reach a thousand crystal cores~ I'll go out again this afternoon..."
He didn't say anything more directly, but just raised his eyebrows smugly at the people of Zhan Yi.
Everyone in Zhan Yi knew that these thousand crystal cores were the fee they owed Li Xin'er for awakening her superpower.
Qin Siye and the others were puzzled and curious about the reason, but they were all perceptive and did not ask directly.
Hearing the golden eagle's boasting, the vulture became displeased and looked at Carl with a pitiful expression, feeling wronged.
"Boss, look at him! I spend most of my time at home and never get a chance to go out~"
As he spoke, he pleaded, "Boss, can I go out this afternoon too? I'm still far from being able to go, and you can't let me be the only one holding you back."
Carl glanced at him speechlessly and said bluntly:
“If I remember correctly, you collected more than half of them during your last trip.”
Carl exposed the truth, and Vulture, embarrassed, could no longer keep up the act; a lump formed in his throat.
"You even know that..."
They were making a ruckus and arguing, while Qin Siye and Qian Leduo, who were standing nearby, would occasionally glance up at them.
I wanted to fit in, but I didn't know what it was all about, which made me feel quite awkward.
In fact, Li Xin'er could tell that although Zhan Yi usually got along well with the two of them, at times, Zhan Yi's little group was quite exclusive.
But it doesn't matter, they're not on the same wavelength anyway, and Li Xin'er didn't intend for them to integrate.
She had just finished eating, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, placed the tissue on her plate, and said to everyone:
"There's no rush for those thousand crystal cores. Give them to me when you've collected them all. Make sure you complete the other tasks I assigned you."
Vulture and the others immediately stopped their playful antics and solemnly made a promise towards Li Xin'er.
"Don't worry, Sister Xin, we definitely won't delay anything."
"Okay, Carl, this afternoon take some men to the base to collect payment from Lu Chen, and also check if he has any business to do there. Also, let him know that if there's no business, I'm planning to move to another location."
After this period of learning, they can all communicate in Chinese, so she has no worries about them going out to discuss business.
She can't stay at this one base forever; the business needs to grow and become stronger.
Carl nodded. "Okay."
Li Xin'er then looked at Qin Siye and said, "After you finish eating, come find me with Qian Leduo."
Upon hearing this, Qin Siye immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay."
After saying this, Li Xin'er got up and told them to take their time eating before returning to her own place next door.
Qin Siye and Qian Leduo arrived almost one after the other.
Upon hearing Li Xin'er's words, the two were quite uneasy, wondering why she had specifically sought them out. They lost interest in their meal and hurriedly came over.
Li Xin'er had just settled into her seat in the living room when she was somewhat surprised to see the two arrive so quickly.
"Have you eaten? I'm not in a hurry, there's no need to come so quickly."
Qian Leduo quickly replied, "We're full. We came after we'd eaten."
Qin Siye stood beside him, nodding in agreement.
Li Xin'er slightly raised her chin, gesturing for the two to sit down, "Please sit down."
The two sat opposite Li Xin'er, sitting upright with their hands on their knees, clenching their fists somewhat awkwardly.
