After leaving the rest area, Chen Wangping instructed Qian Duoduo, "Two things. The first is to continue bringing the civilians who ate the cold-repelling cakes today to the rest area for me to identify. The second is to arrange for people to secretly buy all the houses in the vicinity all the way to Qiyun Pavilion, hollow out the ground, and build a training base. We'll have someone with special abilities handle the soundproofing. Is that okay?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "No problem, but, Senior, don't you think these civilians are really capable of fighting? That gun is fine for shooting down small insects, but if they really go up against a superpowered person, they have many ways to dodge bullets and even kill the gunman remotely."
Chen Wangping thought to himself that I was originally trained to kill insects. He reached out and patted Qian Duoduo on the shoulder and said, "Old Qian, you have been following me for so many days. What do you think I want to do?"
Qian Duoduo was about to speak, but shook his head. After what happened today, he didn't know what his senior was going to do.
Chen Wangping nodded with satisfaction. "If you don't understand, don't ask. Just do your job honestly."
Qian Duoduo thought about it and it made sense. He had to do it whether he was asked clearly or not, so he might as well get to work quickly. So he happily ran out to make arrangements.
Chen Wangping returned to the room and first took out the five thunder-eating insect blood crystals he had just shot out, closed his eyes and began to absorb them.
Including these five, the resistance to lightning from other sources has been increased to 8%, which is a very fast progress.
After absorbing the blood crystal of the lightning bug, he walked to the training ground of the Freedom Group and began to earnestly teach how to shoot.
It doesn't take much time to teach these.
Sharpshooters are fed with bullets, so just let them practice more.
Afterwards, Chen Wangping returned to the secret room and continued to practice.
At present, he cannot leave the vicinity of Peace Pavilion.
The Insect God Cult has failed several times and must come up with a new approach.
Got to stay here and watch.
Right now.
Long Khan pretended to be very tired after finishing his patrol, so he returned to the room, found a box, opened it, tied a piece of paper to the small millipede in the box, and threw it to the ground.
The millipede rustled away through the small hole in the ground and soon reached the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Lin Dao picked up the note from Ma Lu and opened it to examine it. It read: "No traces of lightning bugs were found. This person has a method to restrain lightning bugs, so I suspect he's not a lightning-type mutant. Furthermore, his healing is very effective. I can no longer sense the cold bugs on those people. Furthermore, he has a connection to City Lord Long. I can't act rashly. I need you to create an opportunity."
After reading the note, Lin Dao frowned. The awakening of the Frost Insect King was almost complete, and there were enough corpses and cold insects.
But if he were to awaken at this moment, the Cold Insect King would only have the strength of the middle stage of level six at most, and would still not be able to compete with Long Changming who was at the peak of level six.
No, we must accumulate more corpses.
He turned to Fire Hammer and said, "The situation has changed. Let's forget about Peace Pavilion for now. They can only rescue one or two thousand people a day at most. You should take the men and take action. Even if it arouses Long Changming's suspicion, there's nothing you can do. The day after tomorrow will be a day of extreme cold, which is the best time for the Frostworm King to wake up."
Huo Hammer slammed the table angrily. "Guan Feifan is such a loser. He's wasted time and hasn't accomplished anything. In my opinion, he should just be thrown into the meat field. Maybe he could still be of some value."
Lin Dao took out a set of red armor and handed it to Huo Hammer, saying, "Alright, when we take over Leilong City and you have a chance to vent your anger, wear this. It's lined with anti-electric bark."
Fire Hammer took the armor and said, "That's more than enough. Wait, I'll have the meat fields ready by tomorrow evening."
In the following time, Huo Hammer brought a group of people from the Insect God Cult and, using the information they had collected previously, directly entered the homes of low-level psychics who were alone or had no power to support them, and quickly plundered the meat fields.
In just one afternoon, the huge Leilong City became quieter and less lively than usual.
In the City Lord's Mansion.
Long Changming sat high up, listening to the steward's report on the city's situation. Afterwards, he turned and asked, "Is the Peace Pavilion still selling cold-repelling cakes today?"
The butler bowed and reported, "Yes, the enhanced cold-repelling cakes that Wang Ping promised have also been delivered, and the effect is indeed very good. Several factions that did not receive your help before have also found ways to obtain the cold-repelling cakes. The epidemic in the city is currently under control. This is all due to your good governance of the city."
Long Changming nodded with satisfaction. "Although Wang Ping is taking advantage of the opportunity to make money, it's a good thing after all. Only by stabilizing the people in the city can we stabilize the situation. After this winter, when the city has more people, I can try to reach level seven."
The butler bowed again and said, "Congratulations, sir!"
Long Changming smiled and said, "Alright, continue to observe the movements in the city. If there are any abnormalities, report them in time."
"yes"
…
By the evening, today's cold-repelling cakes were sold out again.
With the preparations made yesterday, the thousands of cold-repelling cakes today quickly attracted more than 400 members to the Freedom Group.
Excluding spies and those with bad intentions, the number of members of the Freedom Corps now exceeds 500.
With so many people, there are not enough guns and there are only a few bullets left for practice.
Chen Wangping was both happy and worried.
The good news is that the number of people producing small light spots has increased several times, and his accumulation of public support has increased to 10%, and the progress is very fast.
The trouble is that the manufacture of submachine guns consumes a lot of resources. The family should have manufactured another hundred submachine guns today, but the two hundred submachine guns made today and yesterday have used up all the steel plates in stock.
According to the current iron production of the base, even if they work at full capacity, they can only produce fifty swords a day, which is far behind the progress of the Freedom Group, not to mention the consumption of bullets.
This is just a regiment, not even an army, and the consumption is so great.
We must find a way to get some metal resources.
Chen Wangping first arranged for the members of the Freedom Corps to practice on their own using the single-shot function of the submachine gun. Then he went out and found Qian Duoduo to discuss what to do.
Qian Duoduo scratched his head and said, "Food and clothing are easy to buy, but metals like iron and copper are hard to come by. It's not that the city doesn't allow them to be bought, but because not many people use them, and there are no big merchants selling them. If we buy according to the quantity you mentioned, even if we empty the inventory of all the small merchants in Leilong City, we still won't be able to buy much."
Chen Wangping sighed, he also understood.
Without the soil for trading, the metal market would not exist at all.
If this is also the plan of the Insect God Cult, it only means that there are too many capable people in the Insect God Cult.
etc.
Insect God Cult?
Lin Dao from the Divine Weapon Pavilion is from the Insect God Sect.
Chen Wangping instructed Qian Duoduo, "Lin Dao's Divine Weapon Pavilion manufactures weapons and equipment, so they should have a lot of metal resources, right? Go and find out the ratio of their purchases and sales, and find out where these things are stored."
"Oh, yes, yes! The Divine Weapon Pavilion must have it. I'll go ask around now!"
