Chapter 87: Blatant Poaching



Due to the hotel rules, although the two groups of people staying in the hotel disliked each other, they did not fight in the hotel.

The Tigers team just returned, and we gave them a welcome party last night. They only stayed for one night before leaving.

When Lin Xingyou went to see them off, she could still see the reluctance in most people's eyes.

Now you have repeat customers!

It was not until the Tiger Team left that He Zheng went downstairs to discuss the supplies with her and delivered the crystal core.

"How do you plan to deliver the supplies?" He Zheng asked.

If they wanted to take away a large amount of supplies, it would be too conspicuous if they did it below, and if they traded in a castle in the air, the venue would not be big enough.

This gave He Zheng a headache.

Glancing at him sideways and seeing him scratching his head in anxiety, Lin Xingyou seemed a little calmer, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"The top floor of the castle in the air is still empty, why are you in such a hurry?"

Choosing to take on this business, Lin Xingyou naturally thought that the delivery location could not be within the Shelter of Hope.

Hearing this, He Zheng smiled heartily, "I was overthinking it."

Looking up, Lin Xingyou motioned for He Zheng to follow, "Remember to call for the space ability when you get to the second floor." Finally, he reminded, "Remember to ask them to wear thick clothes."

He Zheng went up the stairs first and called other team members to go up to the top floor together.

"Wow, this place is so spacious." someone exclaimed.

"Don't mention it, I feel like I'm touching the clouds. I've never had such a novel experience in my life."

The platform was surrounded by clouds and mist, and when you looked up you saw a vast expanse of white, surrounded by cold air. It really felt like you were in a fairyland, immersed in a dream.

"There's a little house there!?"

The team members brought by He Zheng were full of curiosity until Lin Xingyou slowly said, "That's my house."

They stopped in embarrassment, turned around and went back to where they were, like children who had done something wrong.

They don't want to mess with this person.

More or less, the supplies they purchased have not yet arrived, so they dare not offend them.

Opening the search panel, Lin Xingyou entered the name over and over again, followed by the quantity. In an instant, the empty platform was filled with supplies.

"The first batch is food, put it away first!" she reminded.

With He Zheng's permission, the spatial ability was put into action immediately. After the teammates had counted the items, they were put into the space in batches.

There were too many supplies and they moved a little slowly. Lin Xingyou picked up the cards with his right hand, and a set of gorgeous tables and chairs appeared next to him.

The woman yawned lazily, her eyes casually glanced at the busy figure in front of her, and then she sat back directly on the high-end orange leather chair.

With a snap of the fingers, a bottle of red wine and two crystal goblets appeared on the luxury glass table.

She raised her eyes to look at He Zheng beside her, "Would you like a drink?"

"Come on." He sat down without any hesitation.

He Zheng had visited the shops at the foot of the Sky Castle, so he naturally knew that she had no shortage of wine and drinks.

After opening the bottle, the rich aroma of wine wafted into his nose. He closed his eyes for a moment and then picked up the glass and poured the scarlet wine into it.

After pouring it, he handed it to Lin Xingyou, and couldn't help but take a big gulp, with a satisfied look on his face.

"Thanks to Boss Tolin, I can finally drink again."

She took it calmly, raised her head to look at the eye-catching red color in the cup. Through the cup, there seemed to be a layer of blood-colored mist in her eyes that covered everything.

"What did you want to tell me last time?"

She didn't bother beating around the bush. Everyone else was counting supplies elsewhere, so no one could notice them.

"Boss Lin is straightforward, so I'll just say it straight."

He Zheng drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and the white mist he exhaled even smelled of alcohol.

"The composition of the Hope Shelter is too complicated. I hope Mr. Lin can consider coming to the Light Shelter."

His pair of dark eyes were full of sincerity, but Lin Xingyou looked at him with a half-smile.

"That's a weak reason."

He Zheng laughed when he heard this and filled his glass again. "Boss Lin is only making money from the superpowers here, but it will be different in the Sanctuary of Light."

"How is it different?"

There was a hint of interest in her words, and her peripheral vision was also observing the changes in the expression of the man next to her.

"I hope the upper echelons of the shelter value their power very much, and they definitely don't want you to divide up the already scarce resources. You can only earn crystal cores by starting with their basic needs, which is not worth it."

"But the Shelter of Light can achieve a win-win situation with you. We can let Boss Lin join us as a partner. You can continue to run your private business and get extra tax dividends from the Shelter of Light."

"How about it?"

He Zheng's last question was earnest and contained great temptation.

"What are the conditions?" Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

Lin Xingyou doesn't believe that pie will fall from the sky.

He Zheng shook the red wine in his hand and said slowly: "It's not a difficult thing. As long as Boss Lin agrees to keep supplying water to the Shelter of Light, the conditions I just mentioned can definitely be achieved."

Before Lin Xingyou could answer, he added, "Of course, the crystal cores for industrial water are purchased by the Shelter of Light from Boss Lin. There is no such thing as free food."

Faced with the castle in the air, He Zheng changed his plan before coming here. Originally, he wanted to win over Lin Xingyou to the Bright Sanctuary to serve the He family.

But when he saw the house built ten thousand meters above the ground, he changed his mind, or he had to change that ridiculous idea.

With such incredible abilities and an unknown amount of supplies in her hands, we must try to please her and not offend her. Even if we have to make concessions, we must bind her relationship with the light.

This is the best strategy!

"It seems you have thought it through very thoroughly."

Lin Xingyou took a sip of red wine, his eyelids slightly lowered and darkened, and his tone was so light that no emotion could be heard in it.

He Zheng is a rough but thoughtful person. If you don't get to know him carefully, you might think he is just a tough and aggressive man.

Lin Xingyou's ambiguous attitude also made He Zheng unsure of her thoughts for a while.

"What does Boss Lin think?" he asked tentatively.

Meeting the man's dark eyes, Lin Xingyou shook the hand holding the wine glass, tilted her head and smiled.

"I'll think about it."

"good."

Hearing this answer, He Zheng felt more certain.

It's not good to force people to agree, that's a different matter.

He Zheng thought too much about this. According to Lin Xingyou's personality, he would probably kill the source with one knife.

He Zheng expressed his thoughts, and Lin Xingyou also wanted to ask him something:

"Now that it's clear, why don't you tell me who the mysterious buyer is?"

Her sudden words caught He Zheng off guard, and his expression even froze for a moment.

"Boss Lin really speaks his mind!"

He was stunned by Lin Xingyou's outspokenness, and was also surprised that her ambition never stayed in one place.

It seems that my temporary change of plan is the most correct idea.

The clouds were rolling outside the platform, but He Zheng, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly felt a little cold. Under Lin Xingyou's aggressive gaze, he drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

"It's a military base in Cloud City."

The man put down his wine glass heavily, his face showing relief after being embarrassed.

"Military base?" Surprise flashed in Lin Xingyou's eyes.

In such an extreme apocalypse, a military base was established so quickly?!

Seeing Lin Xingyou's confusion, He Zheng had nothing to hide.

"This military base existed before the end of the world. After the change, the person in charge quickly gathered nearby supernatural beings. Within three months, it had grown to the size of the Shelter of Hope, and within half a year, it became the largest base in Cloud City."

"A place of Hope and Light's size can only be called a shelter. It may take three or four years to reach the Cloud City base."

"The starting point is a world of difference!"

At the end, He Zheng was a little self-deprecating, which made Lin Xingyou clearly understand how powerful the Yuncheng Base is.

At this time, she also realized another consideration and asked directly: "Since it is a military base, in addition to the storage of weapons, there should be no shortage of food. Why would it buy it from the Shelter of Light?"

"They only buy fresh fruits and vegetables, which are hard to find in this apocalypse."

That makes sense.

"Since we can get in touch, you guys shouldn't be that far away from them, right?"

Lin Xingyou stared straight at He Zheng opposite her. If her strength was not too secretive, no one would be able to withstand such a look.

He Zheng was drunk and his body instantly warmed up. Suddenly he met a pair of big, charming eyes and almost couldn't control himself.

He was also a hot-blooded man. As soon as his lust was aroused, he was instantly pulled back by reason and immediately looked away.

He immediately took a deep breath and suppressed his body's instinctive reaction.

"We are at the edge of Lake City, estimated to be about thirty kilometers away from them."

He held his forehead with one hand, and his breathing could be heard to be heavy. He was already trying his best to suppress his breath.

It seems I need to find someone to relieve my stress when I get back. My concentration wasn’t that bad before!

Is it because of drinking?

The man was still thinking with his head down when he heard the sound of wine pouring into the glass. When he looked up, he saw Lin Xingyou adding wine to his glass.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and when He Zheng looked at Lin Xingyou's charming smiling face, his physical discomfort was slightly relieved.

No one saw the woman's hand taking back the cards.

The card "Bewitching" influenced He Zheng unknowingly.

Lin Xingyou also wanted to ensure the authenticity of his language.

As for when it started, of course it started as soon as she started asking questions.
