After hearing the boss's instructions, Qin Jiayou and Zeng Guangtian left the tent one after another.
As for Qin Mutong, she followed Wei Lun out of the tent, lazily linking her arm with Wei Lun's, watching him play with the jade pendant on his chest. Little did she know that Wei Lun was using the sunlight to charge the dark jade pendant.
Qin Jiayou came to Fu Xixi's place again. The beautiful Fu Xixi recognized him immediately – wasn't this the wealthy man's subordinate?
They quickly and warmly welcomed him. Qin Jiayou was already a well-known figure at the base; most people addressed him as "President Qin."
"Oh, Mr. Qin, what brings you to our humble establishment today?"
Without wasting any words, Qin Jiayou took out 350 zombie crystal cores and said, "I need 10 level 1 enhancement potions and 10 T-virus vaccines."
Fu Xixi looked at Qin Jiayou with her charming eyes: "So many, it seems that young man is going to do something big?"
The transaction was completed quickly between the two.
At another location in the valley stronghold, Zeng Guangtian was trying to persuade his three best brothers.
"Brothers, I'm not kidding you, I just had a self-heating hot pot, plus lots of fresh vegetables and bread. Seize this opportunity!" Zeng Guangtian said with a look of great satisfaction.
"Old Zeng, that's food we only had before the disaster. Could this be a force sent by some factory?" A middle-aged man named Du Kun asked sharply.
Before the disaster, Du Kun was a software engineer working in a national-level scientific research studio. He was the most knowledgeable person in terms of electronic technology among all the people there. Hackers were basically weak in his eyes. It can be said that wherever Du Kun was, there were virtually no bugs. He happened to be in the central region during the disaster, but after the disaster, no one needed his skills, so he ended up stranded at this stronghold.
"Brother Tian, you must be joking. How long can vegetables and bread last? Don't be fooled!" Another middle-aged man named Lei Long asked tentatively with a skeptical expression.
In truth, Lei Long found it hard to believe that vegetables and food still existed in this apocalyptic world. Before the disaster, Lei Long was a high-ranking executive in a factory, managing thousands of people. He was extremely shrewd and had a keen understanding of human nature; sometimes, he could discern someone's thoughts simply from their actions, without them saying a word—it was almost uncanny. With the factory's collapse due to the cataclysm, Lei Long, relying on his robust physique, fought his way out, covered in blood. No one knew how he survived the zombie-infested factory.
“I think there’s potential. You all know that Lao Zeng never lies. With all of us brothers here, he’s even less likely to lie.” This was said by a young man named Zhu Guanjun. He was the youngest of the group, only 27 years old. Before the disaster, he was a chemistry PhD student, conducting experiments at Han University. When the catastrophe struck, he survived by hiding in the lab for a month. In the apocalypse, he didn’t lose weight but gained a lot of weight because he knew how to use chemistry to extract edible fat from mutated beasts!
The three men seemed lost in thought. In the apocalypse, their current skills were all worthless, making survival extremely difficult.
If there really is someone who can provide them with food and lodging, then they will have stable security in the apocalypse. Such an opportunity is rare, and if they seize it, they can turn their lives around. Even if it's a fake one, they can still give it a try.
Seeing his brothers' hesitation, Zeng Guangtian said with confidence in his eyes, "How about this, we'll take you there to see for yourselves. Seeing is believing!"
The three nodded in unison, their hearts filled with longing for the delicious self-heating hot pot.
However, Zeng Guangtian continued, "Let me tell you in advance, I have already installed the BM chip. If you want to join, you will also need to install this."
Lei Long waved his hand and said, "What's this? If there really is food, then letting us install chips means they trust us."
Du Kun laughed and said, "Brother Tian, you really have guts. As long as it's the same as you said, I don't care about installing the BM chip."
Zhu Guanjun touched the back of his neck and asked, "Does that thing hurt? I'm mainly afraid of pain."
The four of them burst into laughter and got up to follow Zeng Guangtian toward the Qin family's tent. Because of the cold, automatic rifle on Zeng Guangtian's body, all the passersby made way for him, not daring to offend the four men's authority in the slightest.
...
Wei Lun looked at the jet-black jade pendant, level 2, 100%, raised his head and looked up at the sun, saying, "What a magical world this is. I wonder what other functions the jade pendant will have in the future. It's something to look forward to."
Qin Mutong watched as Wei Lun raised his head to face the sun, squinting his eyes. She also looked at the dazzling sun with great curiosity. The two of them seemed to be gazing into the distance. The handsome man and the beautiful woman were snuggled together. It didn't look like the apocalypse at all, but like a happy prince and princess in a fairy tale.
Qin Jiayou was the first to return, carrying a cloth bag containing 10 booster potions and 10 T-virus vaccines. He was also carrying a gleaming automatic rifle, looking like a bandit who had just returned from a robbery. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, but perhaps because he had been eating well recently, he looked energetic.
"Boss, mission accomplished. Here are the enhancement potions and vaccines." He then handed the cloth bag to Weren.
Taking the cloth bag, Wei Lun didn't look at it, because he trusted that Qin Jiayou wouldn't have problems with such a small matter. Instead, he turned his head to look in the other direction of the road.
Wei Lun shook his head and said, "I don't know how the communication with Zeng Guangtian is going."
"Boss, don't worry, Lao Zeng is very reliable. Let's go inside and wait for them," Qin Jiayou said with concern.
Just as Wei Lun and the Qin father and daughter turned to go inside, a loud shout came from behind: "Boss, we're here!"
The three men looked and saw that it was Zeng Guangtian, accompanied by three burly men. The four of them jogged over together.
"Reporting to the boss, I've brought the man over!" Zeng Guangtian saluted, showing that as a retired soldier, his conduct was completely trustworthy.
Wei Lun finally smiled: "Come in, everyone!"
This was the first time there had been so many people in the tent. Besides the Qin family father and daughter, there were also Zeng Guangtian and his three companions. Wei Lun instructed, "Mu Tong, bring out the food to entertain our guests."
Du Kun, Lei Long, and Zhu Guanjun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Coke, fresh pork, self-heating hot pot—watching Qin Mutong heat up the hot pot, add some pork, and take out three bottles of Coke, Zeng Guangtian suddenly said, "Boss, can I have some more?"
Wei Lun laughed and scolded, "You're such a glutton. Mu Tong, prepare another portion for Zeng Guangtian." After saying that, Wei Lun looked at the Qin family father and daughter and continued, "Take them out and eat them. You two must be hungry too. Let's all eat some together."
Qin Mutong took out all the food, except for her own snacks.
The aroma filling the room whetted everyone's appetite. Du Kun, Lei Long, and Zhu Guanjun were the first to attack, gulping down their cola and devouring the food, not even letting a drop of soup go to waste.
It was only at this moment that the three of them realized that following Wei Lun really meant there would be food!
