They call it a lesson, but it's really just an excuse to steal things.
When Boss Gao was around, all the survivors' ships within a hundred-kilometer radius either surrendered and handed over their supplies regularly, or they were robbed without leaving any survivors.
Therefore, the vast majority of people would give up resistance and surrender directly, paying a certain amount of supplies to the Black Dragon Gang every month.
Fang Yingqiu first led the team to collect all the supplies in the area. After sorting them out, they found that there were very few things collected. Most of them were expired canned goods and expired instant noodles, as well as some homemade food, which was disgusting just to look at.
Fang Yingqiu had never eaten such junk food before. Since the apocalypse, she had never deprived herself of food, and every meal was a combination of meat and vegetables, fresh and nutritious.
However, after the last entrapment operation, the thief was not caught, and instead, most of the supplies in her space were lost.
The little supplies she has left in her space aren't even enough to support her own expenses, let alone the many brothers under her command who are waiting to be fed.
There wasn't much to think about at these scattered survivor bases, so Fang Yingqiu asked one of the captains that Boss Gao used to trust the most.
Which base in this area currently has the most supplies?
"Besides us, the place with the most supplies should be the Zero Survivor Base in the south. It used to be the Z government's garrison, and many survivors were stationed there. They were originally much stronger than us, but they encountered a mutated beast tide and suffered many casualties, so their strength is not what it used to be."
After listening, Fang Yingqiu ordered them to head to the Zero Survivor Base. As soon as they approached, they saw an aircraft carrier standing on the sea, with tall buildings rising from the ground. Up close, it looked like a giant beast floating on the sea, quite magnificent and spectacular.
In the past, the Black Dragon Gang would have had to tuck their tails between their legs and walk away from this.
However, since that mutated beast tide invasion, the infrastructure here has deteriorated significantly, the troop losses have been severe, and the original weapon reserves have been almost completely depleted.
"Chief, Zero Base still has some foundation. I suggest we don't rush into anything and rest for a while first."
"While we're recuperating, aren't others raising troops and buying horses? Besides, do you know how much food you consume every day? More than a hundred catties of rice and flour isn't enough for you! If you don't want to starve to death, then behave yourself."
When Boss Gao was around, he could say one thing and no one dared to disagree, but when it came to her, he would grumble and argue back. Wasn't he just bullying her because she was a woman?
The captain was so angry at her words that he choked for a moment.
"Chief, you don't know the enemy's strength. If you rush into battle, you may suffer heavy losses."
"All I know is that whoever has the most firepower is the boss. If you cower and shrink back, you'll only end up being led by the nose. Enough with the nonsense, the brothers are all waiting to eat. Let's get ready to bombard them tomorrow."
Without warning, they were caught completely off guard.
The captain merely glanced at her, then turned and left without a word.
Fang Yingqiu's face turned cold.
Once we take down Base Zero, the first thing we'll do is replace these team leaders.
The Black Dragon Gang has a total of twelve ships of varying sizes, three of which are military warships, fully equipped and specifically designed for naval warfare.
When the Black Dragon Gang's distinctive flag was raised high, the leader of Base Zero received an alert immediately.
Soon, the Black Dragon Gang received a letter of pleas for peace from the leader of Base Zero.
The content of the peace treaty was roughly that humanity's situation was already precarious in the apocalypse, and if internal strife continued at this time, only fellow humans would suffer in the end.
"Therefore, the leader of Base Zero advocates cooperation, working together to help Professor Liang Qingzhi build the Light Screen Base, which is humanity's last home."
Upon hearing this, several team leaders became restless and eager to take action.
They saw the environment inside the light screen base with their own eyes; it was not only warm and comfortable, but also rich in resources and lush with vegetation.
“Chief, why don’t we sit down and have a chat with the leader of Base Zero? If we can really get into the Light Screen Base, then we won’t have to fight every day and we can still have enough to eat.”
These days, just being able to eat your fill and stay warm, without having to live in constant fear, is already a luxury.
Just as the others were getting restless, Fang Yingqiu, who was sitting on the animal skin sofa, made the decision directly.
"Cooperation is not out of the question, but I'd like to know whether Professor Liang listens to me or to you."
The other leader looked at the reply and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Boss Gao is dead. This new leader doesn't seem to be very bright."
What do you mean, "Does Professor Liang listen to her or me?" We're already grateful Professor Liang accepted us; is this woman crazy?
When Fang Yingqiu realized that she would have to be subservient, watch Liang Qingzhi and Jin Shu's expressions, and hand over all her weapons and equipment in order to be qualified to enter the Guangping Jealousy Base, she tore up the letter in her hand.
"What are we inferior to them in? Do you not know how difficult it is for dwarfs to live as dependents?"
I'm telling you, with our absolute strength, Liang Qingzhi will come to us sooner or later. What we need to do now is not to grovel and beg for shelter, but to muster our courage and get everything we want!
Once we have the resources, when Liang Qingzhi's Guangping base is short of supplies, won't they eventually have to come and beg us?
Do you agree with what I said?
The entire room fell into dead silence; no one spoke.
Fang Yingqiu kept a straight face, her heart burning with anger.
These opportunistic fair-weather friends are a waste of time to give them face or discuss things with them. Now these people are eating and drinking her food, and one or two of them are even thinking of siding with outsiders.
Fang Yingqiu completely ignored what these people were saying and directly ordered an attack on Base Zero.
A shell was fired, and the war began.
Base Zero is not to be trifled with. They don't want to resort to knives and guns not because they're afraid of them, but because they don't want any more of their fellow humans to be harmed.
But if we don't retaliate now, we'll be letting them ride roughshod over us.
The leader of Base Zero was still a little worried, after all, the Black Dragon Gang's firepower and equipment were not to be underestimated.
So he sent someone to the Guangping base to find the base leader, Jin Shu, and ask for support.
The two bases have now reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, with Base Zero providing raw materials and the Light Screen Base agreeing to accept them.
Therefore, it was only right for Jin Shu to step in and help when the crisis was in full swing.
However, she didn't actually give them any equipment; she just sent a message to the leader of Base Zero.
"Those people from the Black Dragon Gang are nothing to fear. Go ahead and fight them."
Upon hearing this, the leader of Base Zero couldn't help but feel a surge of dissatisfaction. (End of Chapter)
