Seeing that Shen Hu did not object, Lu Yuan nodded slightly and said.
"Since Brother Tiger has no objections, then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll give you the necessary items as a task later!"
If you encounter any problems, please let me know so we can communicate effectively. My role is to be overt while yours is covert; this way, we can better control the entire camp.
Shen Hu immediately stood up: "No problem, leave this to me. I may not be good at things that are obvious, but I'm sure you can handle things that are behind the scenes!"
"Alright, I'll arrange this properly. My guys are all pretty idle right now, spending all their time in the server room, not really helping at all, and they're overwhelmed with work. I might as well go out and do something with him."
Lu Yuan nodded and made the decision.
With the help of the black market, their control over the camp will become even stronger.
Moreover, through the shady methods of the black market, Lu Yuan was able to find out the specific details about the people in this camp.
Although it seems respectful to everyone in the camp on the surface, who knows what secrets might be brewing beneath the surface? Lu Yuan wanted to know everything that was happening in the entire camp.
He had to keep the camp under his control and couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Although he talked about cooperation, Lu Yuan had already taken control of everyone through this cooperation.
Next came the negotiation process with those large camps. However, thanks to the support of the World Survivors Center, these large camps no longer had a great need for food.
So now they've all become quite assertive, acting like they're all high and mighty.
The first person Lu Yuan called was Xiao Han, who replied that anything less than twenty tons of grain was out of the question.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan was so angry that he wanted to slam the phone down.
Twenty tons—this guy's tone was even more arrogant than Sun Hao's. He didn't know how the other party dared to make such a big joke at his expense.
However, Zhou Tong quickly explained that a lot of ore had been found in their camp, but because the other party had kept it very well covered, they did not yet know what kind of mine it was.
However, it looked like something very valuable, so Lu Yuan suppressed his anger and expressed his willingness to negotiate with the other party, but the location of the negotiation would be chosen by the other party.
This guy is treating the cooperation between the two parties like a black market transaction.
Lu Yuan had no choice but to wait quietly as instructed.
Two days later, the other party finally called again.
However, this time the other party chose to hold the transaction at their camp.
Therefore, Lu Yuan and his group are going to travel 200 kilometers away to meet each other.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan's camp currently has enough fuel. Although the large ships cannot sail, the small ships can easily travel a thousand or eight hundred kilometers.
To ensure Lu Yuan's safety, Zhou Tong insisted on bringing several soldiers with him, and he himself went along as well. Upon seeing this entourage, Lu Yuan sighed helplessly.
So Lu Yuan packed his things, and together with Zhou Tong, they set off in two boats toward the enemy's camp.
It took them several hours of sailing to find out the distance of over 200 kilometers.
They had barely reached the entrance to their camp when more than a dozen boats immediately surrounded their small boat.
Judging from their appearance, they all looked fierce and were holding guns, like they were robbing people.
Lu Yuan didn't want to have any conflict with them, so he quickly raised his hand to indicate that he posed no threat.
After some questioning, the people who came up discovered that Lu Yuan was one of Xiao Han's men. So they disarmed Lu Yuan and then led him into the camp.
Their camp was much larger than Luo Xuan's. It used to be an abandoned city, but the altitude here was higher, and the water level had receded, revealing the area.
They picked up a few people and told Lu Yuan and the others to wait where they were.
They all seemed tense and nervous, not at all like they were treating allies, which made Lu Yuan feel that these people were really unreliable.
After waiting for about half an hour, a few people slowly walked over from a distance. Judging from their appearance, they were obviously the leaders of this camp.
Then, the leader picked something out of his teeth and spat it on the ground, before turning to the person next to him and asking a few questions.
Then, with a nonchalant gait, he walked up to Lu Yuan. Upon seeing this person, Lu Yuan couldn't help but think of one type of person: Xiao Shan's cousin.
I met this person before the apocalypse; this guy spends all his time wandering the streets, constantly bragging about how awesome he is.
Actually, it's quite difficult to find money for a meal out of your own pocket.
However, since he is now the leader of the entire camp, he doesn't care about these things at all, but he still retains his roguish and thuggish demeanor, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly as the other person approached him. He saw the other person take out a cigarette from his pocket, light it, and smell the smoke.
Lu Yuan frowned. It wasn't the way the other person smoked that made him uncomfortable, but rather the strong smell of the cigarette in the other person's hand.
It looked like it had been picked up from a toilet, making one feel nauseous, but the other person was smoking it with great relish.
Seeing Lu Yuan's appearance, the other party couldn't help but feel somewhat dissatisfied.
"What do you mean? You're begging me to negotiate, but you look so unwilling. Do you really think you're the boss? This is the apocalypse. Who's going to tolerate your bad habits? Take your hand off, or there's no point in talking about cooperation!"
The other party's overbearing aura was too much for Lu Yuan to bear.
Zhou Tong, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer and punched the other man in the stomach.
Xiao Han immediately arched his body like a shrimp, fell to the ground and gasped in pain. The people next to him quickly picked up their guns and aimed them at the group, ready to pull the trigger.
Lu Yuan grabbed the other man by the neck and glared fiercely at the people around him.
"If you shoot, I'll strangle him. If you're going to do it, hurry up, I'm in a rush!"
