Chapter 399 - Helpers

“Fang Heng. ”

“Hey, you guys are here too. ” From afar, Fang Heng waved at the few of them, greeting them in a friendly manner as if they were old friends.

“It’s so late and you haven’t gone offline to rest. Civil servants are indeed pretty busy. I perfectly understand that to serve the people, your ideological levels must be pretty high. ”

Cheng Ya frowned. She didn’t understand what Fang Heng was up to.

After learning that Fang Heng came to District 7 for the main storyline, the Federation was also very nervous.

From a certain point of view, they were also competitors.

“Don’t be so nervous… I didn’t lie to you. I’ve said it before that I’m Fang Heng. You just didn’t believe me. ” Fang Heng touched the back of his head as he spoke and looked at the serious-looking Wei Chun and Cheng Ya behind him.

Wei Chun couldn’t help but ask, “Fang Heng, what are you trying to say? ”

“Uh… Actually, I want to ask you guys for a favor. ”

Cheng Ya was stunned.

“A favor? ”

“Yes, a small favor. Don’t doubt me. I’ve been cooperating with your side, the Federation, all this while. My reputation is very good. You can ask around. ” Fang Heng smiled gently. “How about this, I’ll give you an elementary divine potion as a reward. ”

Cheng Ya and the others were stunned.

The divine potion was their biggest motive in joining the Dark Knights.

“Fang Heng, I need to consult my superiors. ”

To that, Fang Heng made the “go ahead” gesture. “Of course, but hurry up. You know my agreement with Roche. I don’t have much time left. ”

…

Half an hour later.

The sky was still dark.

A small white car was parked halfway up the mountain road.

The Dark Knights’ camp of Edge Creek Town was built halfway up the mountain.

“Fang Heng, you’re finally here. ”

Ai Lei walked out of the camp with an anxious look on his face.

“You have too many things. Don’t even talk about organizing them. Just the teleportation alone has cost us a lot of crystal energy, ” he complained with a bitter smile.

At first, when he heard that Fang Heng needed help to transport materials, Ai Lei agreed immediately.

But he didn’t expect that Fang Heng would actually bring such a large amount of medicinal ingredients over and fill up their entire camp.

“Look at you, you’re being calculative with me again, aren’t you? We’re all here to save this world. Why nitpick about crystal energy usage? ” Fang Heng winked at Ai Lei as he spoke. “There’s a small portion of blue crystal raw ores at the back of the truck. Think of it as an investment to save the apocalyptic world. ”

There were still many blue crystal raw ores in the warehouse in the real world. District 8 already had better blue crystal energy sources, so Fang Heng was no longer interested in those raw ores.

Fang Heng also found it troublesome to move them time and again, so he gave them to Ai Lei as payment for borrowing the space tearing device.

“Really? ” Ai Lei was delighted when he heard that. He walked to the back of the truck and saw half of the truck full of energy crystal ores. He was instantly overjoyed.

“Hey, Fang Heng. I knew you were loyal to your friends. ”

“Of course. It’s my motto to earn money together. ”

“Hehe. ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

“Come, I’ll take you to see the goods first. ”

“Hint: your friendship with Ai Lei has greatly improved. ”

In the small white car, Cheng Ya and the other two looked at each other.

Fang Heng was indeed connected to the Dark Knights!

And it seemed that they were very close!

He must be secretly doing the main storyline!

“But how did he do it? ” Wei Chun asked the question that was in everyone’s mind.

Weren’t the Dark Knights an opposing camp? Why did their relationship seem to be very good?

No one answered.

In Cheng Ya’s opinion, Fang Heng had too many unsolved mysteries.

After a while, Fang Heng walked out of the camp alone again.

Dong, dong, dong.

Fang Heng knocked on the window and signaled for the three of them to roll down the window. “Follow me. ”

Cheng Ya and the others got out of the car and followed Fang Heng into the Dark Knights’ camp.

As soon as they entered the camp, they smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

Seeing the mountain of medicinal ingredients piled up in the camp, Cheng Ya and the others were a little confused. “So many medicinal ingredients? ” they thought.

Looking around, they realized that the entire camp was filled with medicinal ingredients. Except for the main passage, the other places were filled with medicinal ingredients.

Just then, Cheng Ya recalled how she seemed to have heard during the meeting not long ago that Fang Heng had requested a large batch of medicinal ingredients from District 7 of the Federation.

Although the commander-in-chief of District 7 was very unwilling to provide the ingredients to such a competitor, the reputation of the Federation was important, so he still held it in and accepted the request. He drew out a large amount of reserve ingredients to give to Fang Heng.

At first, they thought that the medicinal ingredients were needed by an organization or shelter that Fang Heng relied on or had created himself.

However, it turned out that he was the one who needed them.

“But why does he need so many medicinal ingredients himself? Does he have a place to store them? ” Like Cheng Ya, Wei Chun and the other person were full of confusion.

“Let me introduce you. This is Ai Lei from the Dark Knights. ”

Ai Lei nodded at the three of them.

“These are the people I invited to help deliver the goods. ” Fang Heng turned to look at Cheng Ya, then pointed at the few old trucks beside her.

“Our mission is to transport. As you can see, there are a lot of medicinal ingredients in the camp, and this is only a part of it. There are still a lot of medicinal ingredients that will be delivered here one after another. Ai Lei will be temporarily lending these four trucks to us. Try to maximize truck capacity by filling them to the brim. Then, send them back. I will be at the warehouse. ”

“Send them back? Where? ” Cheng Ya was dazed.

“Send them back to the Scavenger Army of Edge Creek Town, the place we just came from. ”

“Scavenger Army? Helping the enemy in front of the Dark Knights? Is that a good idea? ” Cheng Ya was a little confused for a moment. She carefully looked at Ai Lei.

However, she saw that Ai Lei didn’t react at all and was still smiling, seemingly in a good mood.

Those who did not know would have thought that the Dark Knights and the Scavenger Army were working together as a partnership, and that they were funding each other’s resources.

Wei Chun and the others were at a loss.

They looked at each other, and their worldview was a little shattered.

“Could it be that there’s something wrong with this batch of medicinal ingredients? Are Fang Heng and the Dark Knights secretly joining hands to set up a trap for the Scavenger Army? ” they wondered.

Ai Lei uttered, “Thank you for your hard work. People from my side will help you load the medicinal ingredients into the trucks. However, we can’t go into Edge Creek Town, so we can’t help with that. ”

“Thanks, bro. Let me know if you need anything in the future. ” Fang Heng patted Ai Lei’s shoulder and handed a few bottles of coffee to Cheng Ya and the others. “Let’s get to work. Don’t just stand there. We have to hurry up and deliver them. There are still a lot of medicinal ingredients on the way, too. If everything goes smoothly, we’ll probably be able to move them all by tomorrow afternoon… ”

“By tomorrow afternoon? What’s that supposed to mean? Are we expected to transport medicinal ingredients for a full day? Just how many ingredients are there? ” the trio thought.

Wei Chun had his mouth agape as he turned to look at Cheng Ya.

Cheng Ya nodded at Fang Heng. “All right. We’ll do it as quickly as possible. ”

Wei Chun silently took the coffee from Fang Heng, opened the lid, and drank it in one gulp.

“It was indeed difficult to earn money these days, ” he thought.
