Just as Lu Sheng, Su Zheng, and Zhao Mujia were discussing how to gradually relocate the members of the two bases to M City and gradually resume production, Lü Song hurriedly walked over carrying a radio.
"Xiao Ning asked us how long it would take for the rescue to arrive; they're almost at their breaking point."
"Damn... I forgot about him." Zhao Mujia slapped his forehead in embarrassment.
Under Lu Sheng's leadership, everyone was enthusiastically conquering the city and creating a new life, and they inadvertently forgot about Xiao Ning, who was far away in the sports park...
After all, a prosperous and wonderful new life was right in front of them, so who had time to care about Xiao Ning and the others' lives or deaths...
Ma Dongmei, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, tapped rhythmically on the table with her long, slender fingers. "Even close brothers need to keep clear accounts. Our men have just gone through a day of fierce fighting, and it would be difficult for us to go and rescue them right away."
"Besides, he was trapped in the sports park because of his own lack of strength. Let him find a way to hold on for a while longer, and we'll rest and then go."
After listening to what the others said, Lu Sheng opened the map and checked the location of the sports park.
This is a great location. It's near a Foxconn industrial park with a huge population density. A single park can easily house tens of thousands of people, and it must be overrun with zombies by now.
In addition, there are several clothing factories nearby, and the park must have already been surrounded by a dense horde of zombies.
The mutated plants and animals in the park are also a problem; this person really knows how to dig a hole for himself.
“But we agreed to form an alliance. It wouldn’t be fair to just leave him like this.” Su Zheng’s sense of morality prevailed again.
"Better to die than to die, Young Master Su. You still need more experience." Zhang Xiaojuan leaned against the wall with an air of nonchalance and gave Su Zheng a wink.
A sense of morality is a good thing, but it doesn't apply to everyone.
There's some truth to the idea that the Virgin Mary dies first in the end times.
Lu Sheng said indifferently, "Those who court death will surely die. Let's check the situation around us first."
Just as the group was intensely discussing whether to risk rescuing Xiao Ning, a gentle yet gloomy voice suddenly came through the radio.
"Considering the difficulty of this rescue, Blue Ocean Base is willing to offer 20,000 crystal cores as a reward for the rescue. If we can guarantee the safe departure of all of us, there will be an additional reward of 10,000 crystal cores."
"Holy crap! That's 30,000 crystal cores in total???"
The members of K3 base and Lingfeng base present instantly burst into tears.
I knew Blue Ocean Base was wealthy, but I didn't expect it to be this wealthy—30,000 crystal cores! That's an astronomical figure! Even if the other two bases combined all their resources, they might not be able to raise 30,000 crystal cores!
Lu Sheng: "Saving people is just a small thing."
Everyone: "..."
The bespectacled guy was stunned. "Boss, you change your expression really fast."
There was nothing I could do; he gave me just too much.
Who wouldn't want free money? Especially such a huge gold brick!
Lu Sheng immediately stood up and looked at Lü Song with a smile, "Send him a message saying we'll be there soon, and tell him to prepare the crystal cores, not a single one can be missing."
“But we are at least two hours away from there by car, and it’s nighttime now. It might take four or five hours to get there. Can they hold out for that long?” Lu Song paused, holding the radio.
"We have airplanes."
K3 and the Lingfeng Base crew: "..."
She fooled me again.
Thirty minutes later, Lu Sheng's plane landed on the football field in the sports park.
Xiao Ning came out to greet Lu Sheng when he learned that Lu Sheng was coming to the rescue, but what he was waiting for was a steel eagle descending in front of him with great momentum.
The hundreds of people at the Blue Ocean Base were completely dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at the few people who leisurely stepped out of the plane.
Xiao Ning stared at Lu Sheng meaningfully, a slight smile playing on her lips.
He thought Lu Sheng was just a pretty face who got by luck, but it turns out he even has an airplane. He really needs to reassess Lu Sheng.
"Thank you, Captain Lu, for coming to our rescue despite your hard work."
With a nonchalant smile on his face, Xiao Ning lazily extended his hand to Lu Sheng.
The straight man next to him immediately chimed in, "Captain Lu risked coming to the sports park under such difficult conditions to lend us a helping hand. We will always remember this kindness. This spirit of the alliance is truly admirable."
"That's right, that's right, it has to be Captain Lu. The other bases are too unreliable. From now on, Blue Ocean will only consider allying with Captain Lu."
"From now on, our two families will be like brothers. If we encounter any difficulties, we can just say a word to each other."
Lu Sheng blinked her beautiful eyes. "I know you're touched, but don't get moved yet."
"We need money. Please pay the 20,000 crystal cores first, and the remaining 10,000 must be paid on the spot after you leave. No credit will be given."
"Don't talk about feelings, talking about feelings will cost you money."
Everyone at Blue Ocean Base: "..."
Why is this woman so stubborn?
Even Xiao Ning was speechless at Lu Sheng's reaction.
Although everyone knows that Lu Sheng is after the crystal core, there's no need to make it so obvious, right?
The usual polite words were just for show, something to be heard and forgotten. But Lu Sheng's serious emphasis on the money aspect completely surprised everyone at Blue Ocean.
Xiao Ning's peach blossom eyes held an ambiguous smile as she coldly said to those behind her, "Give the 20,000 crystal cores to Captain Lu first."
Twenty thousand crystal cores, enough for three woven bags.
Lu Sheng used the tip of his knife to cut a small hole in the bag.
The glittering crystal core immediately made people dizzy.
Lu Sheng immediately beamed with joy, "Alright, I'll reluctantly accept your sincerity."
She's really short of money right now.
Having just conquered M City, she needs a large number of crystal cores to purchase goods in the system shop to maintain the city's infrastructure.
Having absorbed the Lingfeng Base and K3 Base, Su Zheng and Zhao Mujia are now her own people.
We can't treat our own people unfairly, right? At the very least, we should provide some basic power-enhancing agents to improve the strength of these two subsidiary bases.
She couldn't let others laugh at her underlings for being weaklings.
After the two teams reunited, Xiao Ning gave the best plan at present: "There are relatively few zombies at the northeast entrance, so it is the most suitable place to break through."
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Lu Sheng immediately decided to set off.
Holy crap!
The two groups of people walked quickly toward the northeast entrance when suddenly a curse came from the crowd.
Lu Sheng turned around and saw that a middle-aged man in Xiao Ning's team had a piece of flesh ripped off by a mutated mantis that suddenly flew by.
The wound was located on the neck, near the most sensitive spot close to the ear, and the wound, about half the size of a palm, immediately started bleeding profusely.
Before Lu Sheng and the others could react, Xiao Ning kicked the man in the chest.
At the same time, she gracefully bent down and pulled out the man's tongue, then deftly sliced it off with the knife in her hand.
