Inside a grand thatched hut at the valley outpost, the tables and chairs were spotless, and some food was neatly arranged.
This is the house where Fu Yuanyu, the leader of the stronghold, lives. It's a full 100 square meters, with two bedrooms and a living room. Although it's not luxurious, it's warm in winter and cool in summer, which is standard for a powerful local family.
Fu Yuanyu walked in first, followed closely by his adjutant. Everyone was exhausted after the fierce battle.
Fu Yuanyu turned to look at his adjutant, his gentle expression gone; now he looked exceptionally sinister.
With an icy expression, he said, "Have someone keep an eye on this guy named Wei Lun, and while you're at it, investigate his background. It would be best if you could find out where his food comes from."
The adjutant, with a fawning and humble demeanor, carefully replied, "Boss, this guy has always followed the rules at our base, and he has a relationship with that woman, Fu Xixi. Should we talk to Fu Xixi about it first?"
Fu Yuanyu slowly sat down in the chair and sneered, "Hmph, a woman. If it weren't for the fact that she can make money, I wouldn't bother with her. As long as we find a food source, we can have whatever we want, right?"
The adjutant looked at him with admiration and whispered, "Don't worry, boss, I'll go and arrange for someone to keep an eye on that kid." With that, he left the thatched hut.
No one would have imagined that a seemingly impenetrable stronghold actually harbored many disagreements.
Fu Yuanyu was already quite dissatisfied with Fu Xixi's long-term control of the business, and there were several high-ranking members in the stronghold, but Fu Yuanyu was only elected as the leader because he was a level two enhanced person.
In reality, Fu Yuanyu's ambition was far more than being elected as the leader; he craved dictatorship, the absolute power in the stronghold, and for everyone else to be his slaves.

Inside the Qin family's tent, Wei Lun was taking out all the remaining braised pork trotters from his backpack and said, "Brother Qin, keep these for yourselves. I'll bring more food later."
With tears in his eyes, Qin Jiayou said, "Boss, you're so good to us. Mu Tong still has so much food left to eat."
Wei Lun smiled and stroked Qin Mutong's hair, saying, "You've suffered. Once our courtyard is built, we'll move there together."
Although what they kept this time was braised pork knuckle rice, it was already the most delicious food in their eyes.
In the apocalypse, being able to eat rice is a blessing. Food is the exclusive domain of the rich, and only they have the means to buy the meager amounts of rice and flour. Ordinary people just hope to survive.
Because of the nuclear war, most of the land has been contaminated by nuclear radiation, making it impossible to grow food. In addition, food seeds are very scarce. Even if a suitable piece of land is found, it is impossible to buy seeds.
Qin Mutong obediently tidied up the boxed lunches, neatly putting them into the wooden cabinet one by one. Because she was bending over, Wei Lun could see her white cleavage clearly.
Wei Lun swallowed and said softly, "Mu Tong, Brother Qin, I need to go back for a few days. Take good care of yourselves."
Qin Jiayou knew that Wei Lun needed to go back every few days, and he didn't know how powerful Wei Lun was, that he could provide so much food just to let Wei Lun explore and develop the market here. There must be some amazing secret behind it.
Qin Mutong stopped what she was doing and asked, "Weilun, how long will you be gone this time?" Qin Mutong was clearly reluctant to leave Wei Lun and was a little flustered. She hadn't expected that Wei Lun would come and then have to go back.
Qin Jiayou remained much calmer, saying nothing and allowing the two children time to say goodbye to each other.
In fact, Wei Lun might return within a day after going back, or he might return after many days; Wei Lun himself couldn't be sure.
As Wei Lun approached Qin Mutong, he pinched her cheek and smiled slightly, "Darling, I'll try my best to come back as soon as possible. Don't worry about me, take good care of yourself."
After saying this, Wei Lun walked out of the tent. As he stepped out, Qin Mutong could no longer hold back and rushed out of the tent with tears in her eyes.
"Weilun, I will always wait for you, forever!" Qin Mutong cried out, expressing her inner grievances and loneliness.
Wei Lun turned his head, paused for a moment, and waved for Qin Mutong to go back.
"This kid's out. Hurry up and follow him. The boss will reward you if you find the source of the grain." Three shifty-eyed men followed Wei Lun, glancing around nervously as they went, afraid of being discovered.
When he reached the outskirts of the stronghold, Wei Lun felt something was strange. Had he revealed that he was a time traveler?
Suppressing his doubts for the time being, Wei Lun grew increasingly puzzled and began climbing the hillside, glancing around every now and then.
He hid behind a tree, intending to teleport back as usual, when he suddenly heard voices around him.
"Why is this kid running up the mountain? How could there possibly be any food up there?"
Wei Lun turned his head and looked down, only to find that three people had followed him up the mountain. It seemed that his plan to travel back in time this time was not going to work.
If the location I left is targeted and blocked, I will never have the chance to come back again.
He decided to take out an automatic rifle from his spatial storage and engage in direct combat, but then he remembered that the valley outpost was only a mile away, and the gunfire would definitely attract patrols, which would expose them.
We must find a way to lure these three people to a farther place.
Wei Lun immediately rushed up the mountain. The three men who had been tracking him quickly followed as soon as they saw their target appear.
After walking for ten minutes, we reached the mountainside, where the gunshots would definitely not attract the attention of the patrol team.
Wei Lun took out his automatic rifle and jumped behind a large rock, using it as a high vantage point. He then aimed in the direction below.
"Rat-a-tat-tat!" Wei Lun fired his gun, and one of the three men fell to the ground the moment they appeared.
The remaining two men, realizing they had been exposed, immediately pulled out secondhand rifles and fought back.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" The bullet whizzed past the rock where Wei Lun was hiding, narrowly missing him.
Wei Lun had just finished fighting zombies, and the feeling of skill hadn't worn off yet. He adjusted his stance, aimed at one of them, and "Bang!" A headshot!
The last one panicked. Seeing his companion lying in a pool of blood beside him, he dropped his gun and ran for his life.
Wei Lun stood up decisively, his vision improved, and he aimed. After the last shot, all three men were eliminated.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Wei Lun took a deep breath, activated the black jade pendant, and a flash of white light appeared.
A wave of dizziness washed over him, and Wei Lun vanished from the spot.
Inside the villa, Wei Lun looked at the gun in his hand and said, "Damn, how did I manage to bring this thing back?" Doesn't this mean I have a gun in the modern world?
A nervous Wei Lun immediately stored the gun in his jade pendant's storage space; such a dangerous thing couldn't be used in modern times.
Wei Lun lay wearily on the cozy bed, looking at the familiar room, his mood gradually calming down.
A moment later, she got up, opened the door, and called out, "Xiangxiang, are you there?"
