"This kind of thing will happen often in the future!"
"As time goes by, the competition for supplies will naturally become more intense. We will definitely encounter other forces, and some who can't get supplies will even attack other bases to plunder resources!"
Wang Luo said to the group.
"As long as we are strong enough, we fear nothing!"
Zhao Qingxuan said firmly.
If the other party hadn't had a gun just now, killing them would have been as easy as turning one's hand.
Wang Luo was indifferent.
If Zhou Kun had dared to get close, he would have found a way to kill him.
The pistol's power wasn't strong enough to penetrate the defense of his Dragon Claw hand.
"What about these helicopters? Do we still want them?"
Zhao Qingxuan asked.
They hadn't found any pilots, so they were useless if taken back.
"Yes, why not? Maybe we can figure them out after fiddling with them for a while?"
Wang Luo said with a smile.
"Are you that capable? You can figure it out yourself? This is a helicopter, not a car!"
Yang Shu asked in surprise.
"It's okay, even if they can't be used, they'll look good as decorations on the rooftop of the villa!"
Boom!
Suddenly,
An explosion sounded from not far away.
"What happened?"
Everyone was surprised.
"It sounds like a grenade explosion!"
"Could someone be killing a Devourer?"
Zhao Qingxuan's eyes lit up.
Devourers were Black Iron level zombies, and they were bound to possess Black Iron level energy source crystals.
One such crystal was equivalent to ten ordinary ones.
"Shall we go and see?"
She asked Yang Shu.
The latter looked at Wang Luo.
"I guess it's not a Devourer. You guys can go and see. I'll continue collecting supplies!"
Wang Luo said with a smile.
He had already guessed what was happening.
Wasn't this Zhou Kun's usual tactic?
Imprisoning the other party's friends and family to use as leverage.
"Okay, let's go and see!"
Zhao Qingxuan and the other two led the other four and ran over.
"Wait!"
Wang Luo took a key from Zhou Kun's body and threw it to Zhao Qingxuan.
"This might be useful for you!"
If Wang Luo were to follow them around every day, how would Zhao Qingxuan earn the title of "Night Empress"?
Therefore, he didn't follow them. Instead, he collected several helicopters into the Eternal Space after they left.
Then, he continued to collect all the usable firearms and explosives from the area.
Zhao Qingxuan and the others followed the sound of the explosion.
As Wang Luo had predicted, there were no Devourers there.
Instead, the people from before were using grenades to blow open a door!
Unfortunately, the door was very sturdy.
Even the grenades couldn't break it!
Suddenly, footsteps sounded.
Yang Shu and the others cautiously walked in.
"Why are you here?"
The group looked at Zhao Qingxuan and the others warily.
"We heard the explosion and rushed over!"
Yang Shu said calmly.
The group held their guns and said sternly, "What's happening here has nothing to do with you. Please leave!"
In the apocalypse, they dared not be careless.
After finally escaping from Zhou Kun, they didn't want to work for someone else again.
"Actually, I'm quite curious what you're trying to blow up. Is there any important supplies stored inside?"
Zhao Qingxuan said,
and directly threw the key Wang Luo had given her to the group.
"This... is this a key?"
"Where did you get it?"
The group was surprised.
"From the person you killed!"
Yang Shu said.
"Damn it, I searched him when Zhou Kun was asleep last time, but I didn't find any keys. That guy must have made preparations in advance!"
Then, the group quickly opened the steel door.
To Zhao Qingxuan and the others' disappointment, there were no supplies inside. Instead, there were soldiers who were so hungry their ribs were showing!
"It seems these people didn't betray their master for no reason!"
Yang Shu whispered.
Zhao Qingxuan also nodded.
After everyone came out, she said, "Our base is located in the East City Villa District. If you want to join us, you can find us there!"
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing Zhao Qingxuan and the others about to leave, a soldier suddenly called out.
"What is it?"
"Do you have any food there?"
"Yes!"
"Then... can we go now?"
Zhao Qingxuan looked at the dozen or so soldiers who were about to faint from hunger and nodded. "You can go!"
"However, I must make myself clear first. Once you go there, you must obey our management!"
Then she explained the various benefits and responsibilities.
"We are willing to comply!"
The group quickly nodded.
Besides weapons, they didn't have many other supplies and couldn't last long.
And most importantly,
if their comrades couldn't get timely energy replenishment, they would probably starve to death!
That bastard Zhou Kun,
he was truly not human, only leaving them a mouthful of thin porridge every day.
"Does anyone among you know how to fly a helicopter?"
Yang Shu asked.
"I do!"
A man in his twenties named Li Li stepped forward.
Before the apocalypse, he was a military pilot!
"Good, you'll take these people to our villa district later!"
Yang Shu said after discussing with Zhao Qingxuan.
If they couldn't transport everyone in one trip, they could make multiple trips, as helicopters were very fast.
Not long after,
Yang Shu and Zhao Qingxuan returned with everyone.
They didn't need to collect supplies in the afternoon; the remaining time was to clear out the villa district.
This time, they brought back 20 people from the arrival, and with the dozen or so people in the villa district, they now had over 30 people!
A rather sizable group!
Back at the villa, Zhao Qingxuan asked, "Does anyone here know how to cook for a large group?"
Everyone shook their heads.
The situation was unstable, and for now, they could only eat communal meals.
"It seems we still need to find some cooks!"
Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu discussed.
"Not only cooks, but we also need farmers who know how to farm!"
"The mutated seeds Wang Luo screened earlier can be planted this season!"
"If all goes well, we might be able to eat mutated vegetables this winter!"
Vegetables like radishes, cabbages, and potatoes could all be planted this season.
However...
People living in big cities like them had never touched farming tools in their lives, let alone known how to plant.
So, farmers who knew how to cultivate were also very important.
"For farmers, we can search in more remote rural areas!"
Wang Luo said.
For the indigenous residents of these big cities, there were probably very few who actually knew how to farm.
While they were discussing,
a pot of thin porridge had already been cooked in another villa.
Several of the people imprisoned by Zhou Kun had already fainted from hunger,
and they had no choice but to let their comrades feed them.
In the environment of the apocalypse, there was no point in thinking about IV drips.
Because Wang Luo had not prepared such things.
Besides, those things were only effective for ordinary people and had little effect on awakened individuals.
However,
this meal of thin porridge had pulled those people back from the brink of death.
After eating,
Zhao Qingxuan and the other two led all the awakened individuals to clean up the villa district.
Her methods were very forceful.
Either join, or get out!
