Wang Bin wasn't in a hurry to leave the town. He was quite satisfied with the town's environment so far, except for those two little mice from last night.
Another point is that he needs to help Li Dazhu win over Zhang Qianqian. Secondly, he also needs to go back to the real world to get the instrument to open the vault door. At the same time, Li Xiaolu's illness has not yet been cured and she needs time to recuperate.
After lunch, someone approached Wang Bin and asked if he could still exchange gold and precious jewelry for food. Wang Bin naturally said yes, and after receiving the reply, the young people left with smiles.
When he had nothing to do in the afternoon, Wang Bin would stroll around the town. Everyone around him would greet him and be very friendly. Wang Bin enjoyed this peaceful life.
As darkness fell, the young people who had come during the day, their eyes red with tears, found Wang Bin. They had found dozens of pieces of jewelry, but they had paid the price with the lives of several of them.
Upon hearing this, Wang Bin became anxious. Under interrogation, he learned that these young people had secretly gone into the city to search for food in exchange for his help, but they were surrounded by zombies, and several of their companions had died.
"This is the last time. I will never exchange food with you again!"
After giving them some food, Wang Bin went to find the female leader. He needed to tell her about this, otherwise it would affect their relationship.
The female leader was very happy to see Wang Bin's visit, but after listening to what he said, she frowned. This matter was not Wang Bin's fault, but it was caused by him, and she was a little unsure of what to say.
“I’ve already told them that I won’t be exchanging food anymore. You’d better tell them too, otherwise someone will sneak into the city tomorrow.”
"Thank you, I'll handle this."
"If there are opportunities to cooperate in the future, we can still cooperate, but our cooperation will be between our teams, and I will no longer exchange food with your individuals."
"Okay, thank you!"
Wang Bin made his meaning clear and left. His intention was quite clear: if you all went to find gold and jewelry, he could still exchange them for food, but he would not accept individual exchanges.
Although sending the female leader and her group to search together was dangerous, it was still much safer than sending individuals or small groups. That was all Wang Bin could do.
That evening, the female leader led a group to the camp to explain that Wang Bin would no longer accept personal food exchanges and strictly forbade people from going out to search for food on their own. This dispelled the idea of many people.
These days, many people are willing to die for food, especially after they saw the food that those people exchanged with Wang Bin. However, Wang Bin no longer exchanges with them, so it's no use for them to come looking for him.
Two days later, the female leader approached Wang Bin again, saying she wanted to cooperate with him to search for gold and jewelry in a neighboring city. However, Wang Bin hesitated upon hearing this.
Because the neighboring city is quite far away, if they drove a tank there, it would only take them seven or eight hours to get there. But the female leader and her group don't have a vehicle and would have to walk for a whole day to get there. Including the search time, it would take at least three days to go and back.
For Wang Bin, there was no danger, because they were hiding inside the tank. Unless the tank ran out of fuel or broke down, it would be dangerous for the female leader. It was dangerous for so many people to spend the night in an unfamiliar city.
Seeing that Wang Bin was about to refuse, the female leader quickly explained, "I know what you're worried about. Please rest assured, the people I brought are all skilled. Besides, I have my own reasons. Last time the zombies attacked, they ruined many of our wheat fields, and I estimate that this harvest will be much less. I need to stockpile food for everyone so we can prepare to gather in Fuzhou."
"Alright, since you've put it that way, my supplies are running low. I'll leave for a while to bring back some food, and I'll replenish your supplies then!"
"Thank you, shall we set off tomorrow morning?"
"good!"
Wang Bin initially wanted to refuse, but seeing that the other party really needed food and was very sincere in cooperating with him, he agreed. However, he really didn't have much food left in his system space.
There aren't many people as good as the female leader in this post-apocalyptic world. He should help her as much as he can. He figured she wouldn't object if he asked her for Zhao Qianqian and Zhang Ping later.
The next morning, the female leader gathered three hundred young men, and Wang Bin also brought Zhang Ping with him, making it clear to the female leader that Zhang Ping would be his man from now on.
The female leader didn't say anything, but simply gave Zhang Ping a friendly smile.
The team set off again. For the safety of Li Xiaolu and the others, Wang Bin asked Li Chengping to stay behind to take care of everyone, while he, along with Li Dazhu, Guan Xiaoyue, Officer Miao, Abao, Xiaonan, and Zhang Ping, drove the tank ahead to clear the way.
At the same time, Wang Bin invited the female leader into the tank, and the female leader, out of curiosity, did not refuse Wang Bin's kindness and sat down.
To accommodate the three hundred people, Wang Bin didn't drive very fast. He led the way and everyone was safe. They arrived at the outskirts of the city just before dark.
Wang Bin suggested that the female leader find a building in the suburbs to rest tonight and search the city tomorrow. For everyone's safety, the female leader agreed to Wang Bin's suggestion.
For safety, Wang Bin and his group did not rest in the building, but slept in the tank so that they could fight back immediately if any zombies attacked.
To this end, Wang Bin even bought a local map and had already studied the route. This time, Wang Bin did not plan to look for the vault, but went directly to the jewelry store, because they did not have the equipment to find the vault and could not open the door, so it was better to focus their energy on the jewelry store.
Another reason was time constraints; they needed to get back to the town, as Li Chengping was the only capable person at home, and he was worried that something might happen to the family while they were away.
The next morning, after eating some dry rations, everyone started work, and led by two tanks, they marched in a grand procession toward the nearest commercial street.
There were other survivors in the city, and seeing so many people and tanks, many only dared to hide in their houses and peer out, not daring to show their faces at all.
Because these people were dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't look like soldiers at all, they were really afraid that the other party had come to take their territory. However, they soon discovered that the other party was not interested in their territory and was just looking for something in the jewelry store on the commercial street.
The local survivors smiled when they saw Wang Bin and his group taking large bags of gold and jewelry out of the jewelry store.
"These idiots, making such a fuss over this stuff that can't be eaten or drunk!"
Wang Bin and his group left after searching the city for five hours. They had a very fruitful haul, finding five large sacks of gold and jewelry.
He's become somewhat numb to gold and jewelry now. When he first arrived in the apocalypse, he would get excited at the sight of a few gold bars. Later, gold was measured in tens of thousands of kilograms, and jewelry was the same. Before, he would count each piece individually, but now it's measured in sacks.
Wang Bin was quite satisfied with the results. On the third day at noon, the group finally returned to the town.
