Wang Shun's approach was very effective.
The women's eyes were glued to the can of meat.
Their eyes were filled with excitement and longing.
Hearing that the canned food was to be given to them, even Li Xinxin's eyes were filled with longing and surprise.
For them, it had been almost a year since they had seen this kind of meat.
They had even forgotten what meat tasted like.
Wang Shun saw that Li Xinxin's eyes were glued to him.
A sense of pride and joy welled up within me, along with a deep feeling of emotion.
He understood their gaze and their feelings at that moment!
More than half a year ago, he was just a member of the slums in the former Donghu base.
They racked their brains every day for just a few ounces of rice.
I don't know when I'll just die.
I live in a daze every day.
He didn't even know if he could survive the winter.
However, everything began to change after the leader brought his troops to the Donghu base!
First, they gave the people in the slums plenty of jobs!
Later, they established large-scale markets and implemented a work-for-goods exchange program!
When I received that quilt and cotton-padded clothes, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night!
As for working for the leader for a few months, what does that matter?!
I wish I could work for the leader for the rest of my life right now!
Later, the leader unified the Donghu base and began to recruit more soldiers.
I worked my butt off to complete the selection process and finally became a warrior under the leader!
It was only then that I realized how effective the meat of evolved beasts was!
I only found out then that there was such a thing as a strengthening fluid!
And all of this was brought to everyone by the leader!
Now, he has become an elite reconnaissance soldier who has taken a bottle of enhancement fluid!
He is also the leader of a five-person reconnaissance team!
I was also allocated a large house of 200 square meters!
He also has a beautiful wife.
And there's no need to worry about food anymore.
Even canned fish, a food I used to crave, I no longer look down on.
My only pursuit now is to become an evolved being.
To achieve even greater merit for the leader who has given him everything!
Wang Shun shook the can of fish in his hand, then stepped forward and handed it to Li Xinxin, smiling as he asked, "How many people are there here? How many are around here? Do you know where there are any survivors gathering places?"
Li Xinxin stared blankly at the canned fish in her hand.
This stuff, if you put it in the county, could be exchanged for at least ten or twenty kilograms of rice!
You just gave it to yourself like that?
Li Xinxin gripped the can of fish tightly, her hands trembling slightly, as if this were an unreal dream.
She looked up at Wang Shun, her eyes still filled with disbelief: "You...you really gave it to us? It's so precious."
Wang Shun smiled and nodded: "Take it, it's what you deserve. We need the information you provide, it's just as important to us."
Li Xinxin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "There are thirteen women here, including me, and one boy. There are many small groups like ours around, but I don't know the exact number. We usually try to avoid other people because resources are so scarce; many people fight to the death for a little food..."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the survivor settlements, we don't know much about them because we dare not go far. The one we are most familiar with is Sanshi County in the southeast. There are a few forces controlling it, and it is relatively peaceful. People from the surrounding area like to go there to exchange things, as long as they pay the entrance fee."
Upon hearing Li Xinxin's words, Wang Shun's eyes lit up. According to her, there were probably several thousand or even tens of thousands of people in the vicinity!
Wouldn't the person who first discovered this place and the reconnaissance team be rich?
He suppressed his joy and continued, "How many people are there in Sanshi County? How many people do you estimate there are in these mountains?"
Li Xinxin hesitated because she really couldn't estimate the number of people.
Wang Shun assumed she had something she was having trouble saying, so he took out two more cans of food and put them in Li Xinxin's hands, saying readily, "It's okay, speak up! You'll get even more rewards in the future!"
Li Xinxin and her dozen or so friends were completely dumbfounded.
Three cans of fish!
The woman, Sister Ya, quickly stepped forward, excitedly saying, "Brother, I've been to Sanshi County several times, so I know it quite well. There are at least 20,000 people there! Besides, in the surrounding mountains, I estimate there are tens of thousands more! I don't know the exact number, but it's a lot! And that's just in the surrounding mountains. Going northeast and southeast, there are definitely quite a few people there too, but I estimate not as many as here. I heard from people in the county that if they want to find work in those places, they say there are too many people here..."
Ya Jie was talking a lot and it was all jumbled up, but Wang Shun and the other scouts didn't care about that anymore.
Because they were stunned.
There are tens of thousands of people in this area alone!
How many people are there in the entire Luoling Mountain Range?!
The battalion commander's guess was right!
The survivors here have all fled into the Luoling Mountains!
And as the first people to discover this place in Fuxing City, they're going to be rich!!!
After Sister Ya finished speaking, she carefully observed the expressions of Wang Shun and the others, and cautiously asked, "Big brother, what brings you here? With your equipment, as long as you don't run into the Evolver, you can walk around like nobody's business in Sanshi County!"
Upon hearing the word "Evolver," Wang Shun snapped out of his reverie and asked curiously, "Do you know how many Evolvers there are here?"
Sister Ya shook her head and said cautiously, "The Evolvers are all chosen ones, the core of major forces. We ordinary people really don't know anything about them."
After a few seconds of pause, Ya-jie continued in a low voice, "However, I've heard people say that there's a cult called the Chosen One. Every member is an evolved being. They're very mysterious. Almost all the evolved beings in the vicinity have joined the Chosen One."
"The Chosen Ones?" Wang Shun swallowed hard and continued, "How many followers does the Chosen Ones have? Where do they mainly operate? Do you know any of that?"
Ya Jie quickly shook her head, "I really don't know. Only the higher-ups of those forces or the evolved beings know the details. But the Chosen Ones are very powerful. Several organizations that control Sanshi County all need to pay tribute to the Chosen Ones."
Wang Shun and his team members exchanged glances; this news was crucial!
There are at least tens of thousands of people here, and there are probably close to a hundred evolved beings.
If the evolved beings here were united by the Chosen Ones, they would be an absolutely terrifying force.
They were well aware of how terrifying the evolved beings were; this was a problem that their battalion or even a regiment could not solve!
Wang Shun smiled and said, "Very good, the information you provided is very important."
After saying that, he turned to the group members behind him and said, "Each of you take out a can of fish and give it to them first, so they can have a good meal. Also, get them some rice. It's all vegetables, how can they do without some staple food?"
