172 I’m Keeping This Money

“What are you afraid of?!

“Can you use your brain?

“First of all, entice those rank-two Awakened Ones with resources, and rope in their trusted aides.

“Next, keep a tight rein over your guns.

“If you find anyone who is dissatisfied with you, send them out to find supplies.

“There’s always a chance of them not making it back.

“In addition, raise more fighters and strengthen yourself more.

“If none of that works, then use my name to suppress others.

“Do you understand?”

Wang Ran asked.

Huang Rong was not a terrible man, but he did not seem to be built for leadership, either.

Sigh, I’m not interested in this camp anyway, so I’ll just let him do as he pleases.

“I understand.”

Huang Rong nodded.

In the beginning, when he followed Wang Ran, he had done so out of fear.

Now, that fear had turned into worship.

Some people were truly meant for greatness. He had casually made himself the boss of a camp made up of over a thousand people.

On top of that, he didn’t even want to stay here.

This was on an entirely different level…

“Take a few pieces of gold, melt them down and turn them into necklaces, bracelets, and so on, and carry them with you. I don’t care how crude they are, they’re not meant to be jewelry.

“Gold is very helpful in increasing one’s strength.

“Find a bag for me to pack the rest, I want to take them away.”

Wang Ran ordered.

“Alright, sir!

“I’ll do it right now!”

Huang Rong immediately ran out to carry out his tasks.

Wang Ran, on the other hand, strolled to the players’ lounge that had been allocated to him.

As soon as he opened the door, the young woman revealed a frightened expression. When she saw that it was Wang Ran, she heaved a sigh of relief.

She and her son had eaten a lot of snacks and drinks, and it seemed that they were quite comfortable.

“Benefactor, can we go back now?” the young woman asked.

“Don’t call me benefactor, just call me Boss, like He Xiang.

“When I’m done packing, we can leave.”

Wang Ran nodded.

“Alright, Boss!”

The young woman’s eyes revealed a trace of hope.

She could finally see her husband, He Xiang!

“Ah, that’s right, Boss!”

Among the people who came with us are members of the families of two of the original police squad.

“Can we bring them along?” the young woman asked.

“Of course.

“I’ll take them with me when we leave,” Wang Ran said.

He owed these policemen and women this much.

They had sacrificed so much for the survivors…

Moreover, they were now his underlings, so it was only right for Wang Ran to do something for them.

Not long after, Huang Rong and an Awakened underling came over with a few big bags.

“Boss, the gold is all packed!

“Do I walk you the car now?” Huang Rong asked.

“Alright,” he said.

“By the way, ask the people who came to the camp yesterday for family members of the city’s police force,” Wang Ran ordered him.

“Ah Qiang, did you hear that? Hurry up!”

Huang Rong held a position now, so he quickly barked orders to the underling next to him.

Soon after, an old man and an old woman were brought to Wang Ran.

“Are you all family members of Jin Bao’s squad?” Wang Ran asked.

“This is Zhou Jun’s mother, and I’m Guo Chao’s father. Is Guo Chao alright?”

The old man knew that his son would stay behind to buy them time.

A day had passed and there had been no news from them. The old man was very anxious.

“I’m not sure about that. The survivors of the squad are now in another base. I’ll take you there soon,” Wang Ran said.

When they heard his words, their eyes flickered with hope.

If there were any survivors, their children might be among them.

“Alright, Huang Rong, help me carry the bag and go to the parking lot.”

Wang Ran took his family members and walked out of the football field.

At that moment, Huang Rong’s walkie-talkie suddenly chirped.

“Rong! A helicopter has landed on the field!

“You guys should come and take a look!”

A subordinate reported through the walkie-talkie.

“A helicopter?”

Wang Ran thought of his Mi-26.

No, his followers didn’t know he was here either.

“Take them to the entrance and wait for me.

“I’ll go check on the helicopter.”

After Wang Ran finished speaking, he walked to the field.

A Black Hawk helicopter was parked on the grass.

Wang Ran’s eyes lit up.

This was good stuff!

Although his Mi-26 was a monster, it was too heavy.

Depending on the trip, it was like driving a line-hauler for groceries.

This Black Hawk was ideal!

It was suitable in size, flexible and could even carry weapons.

Wang Ran had the urge to snatch it directly.

The door of the helicopter opened.

A middle-aged white man in a white coat jumped out.

The air current from the helicopter billowed up his white coat, and he walked with an imposing manner.

“Hello, may I ask where the leader of your camp is?

“I wish to discuss a business deal with him.”

The middle-aged white man addressed the people nearby.

“That would be me.

“What business do you have?”

Wang Ran stepped forward.

“Hello, my name is Henry. I’m the representative of a biotechnology company. I would like your help.

“You will definitely be satisfied with the remuneration.”

The Caucasian man, Henry, extended his hand to Wang Ran.

“A biotech? ”

Wang Ran suddenly seemed to have caught on to something.

“Let’s sit and chat.”

Wang Ran led Henry to the substitutes’ bench.

The other people in the campsite consciously kept their distance from Wang Ran and Henry.

“How may I address you, sir?”

Henry asked.

“I’m Derek Zhang.

“If there’s anything you want to say, just say it,” Wang Ran said indifferently.

“Alright, Mr. Zhang.”

“I’ll get straight to the point. One of our company’s research experiments has escaped.

“According to the last display of the tracker, her coordinates are within the range of N-City.

“I hope that you can help out.”

Henry took out a photo and a set of coordinates from his pocket and handed them to Wang Ran.

Wang Ran was certain now.

The photo was of a young Ada!

From the looks of it, this Henry was someone from that Research Institute!

Wang Ran could not help but chuckle to himself.

How interesting, paying me to find Ada?

Alright, I’ll take your money!

I can see that you guys are quite strong. You even have a helicopter.

“Can’t you guys find the target yourself?”

Wang Ran expressed his doubts.

Henry smiled. It was normal to be suspicious.

“Here’s the thing. Although our company has strong financial and material resources, we are short of manpower.

“Most of our employees… are not in the state of mind for fieldwork at this moment.

“Since you’re the largest camp in the vicinity, I think it’s quite appropriate to hand over such a task to you,” Henry said with a smile.

Their biology company was currently in a terrible state and could not spare any manpower to capture Unit One.

However, she was key to their research.

Thus, Henry decided to hire some outsiders.
