Chapter 111

Exchanging one point for two pieces of beef was really a generous deal. Those thin slices of beef from Blue State Ramen would only make you angry. It was almost as if they shouldnt have bothered giving them at all.

Beef was abundant, and even with ice to preserve it, there was still more than they could consume in a timely manner. So, Chen Luo was generous, stimulating the team members to earn more points.

Gao Yue had been in the original base for a while, so she knew exactly which individuals met the criteria. Pretty girls could lower the requirements a bit, just two crystals were enough for them. Having numerous pretty girls in one base was almost more valuable than having many skilled individuals.

Chen Luo estimated that even if they didnt ask for any crystals, many male members would still enthusiastically support his decision. Once they found someone they liked and formed a bond, it would help strengthen the cohesion within the base.

Not only did Gao Yue want to recruit, but others also had the same idea. If they could find another talent like Gao Yue, it would be worth a hundred points.

However, it wasnt easy to accumulate a hundred points quickly. Even though they had the potential for daily gains, there were still substantial basic tasks to complete each day.

Additionally, after the roads between bases were established, many people who initially wanted to join Chen Luo but didnt meet the requirements ended up joining larger collectives. They voluntarily helped spread the word about Chen Luo.

With limited entertainment options, their days were mostly filled with boasting and idle chit-chat.

The people in the villa area are truly impressive. Not only are they strong, but they also have a lot of girls. I dont know what theyre eating, but everyone seems to be in high spirits.

Its just too dangerous. Meeting the crystal quota is just the basic requirement. You also have to submit at least five crystals every day, which means killing five zombies.

I had enough crystals to meet the initial requirement, but when I saw that condition, I thought, Is it worth risking my life for this?

I heard people from that side say that killing zombies is to accumulate combat experience. Otherwise, the zombies keep getting stronger, and if you dont get stronger too, youre just waiting to die. They even have casualties quite often. I dont have the guts for that, so Im just waiting for them to clear the zombies.

Some remarks were made casually, but they piqued the interest of the listeners. If there was a way out, who would want to stay with the trash?

When the zombies came, they ran faster than anyone else, and the acquired resources had to be evenly distributed. Even those with the courage to organize a group to raid heavily populated supermarkets couldnt find enough people.

Survivors who didnt want to continue living on the edge were eager to find a base like Chen Luos. They actively sought it out as soon as daylight came.

However, such individuals were in the minority. Killing at least five zombies every day deterred many people. There were also those who refused to be someones subordinate, considering themselves powerful enough.

In two days, over thirty people joined, a higher number than usual. Chen Luo welcomed everyone, offering a probationary period for new members, regardless of their special abilities. He had no shortage of resources.

The remaining survivors were dumbfounded. They had absorbed the elites, leaving behind this group of wastes?

Not only was Chen Luo recruiting, but another group was as well. Even people from further away joined in when they saw someone recruiting, hoping for a meal ticket.

Zhang Kun gave a fake smile and said, Song Ling, Im the leader of several hundred people now. Calling me A-Kun doesnt quite fit anymore. How about you call me Brother Kunfrom now on?

Zhang Kun felt a sense of satisfaction. Before the apocalypse, he had to bow and scrape in front of Song Ling, but now he was a leader with more people under him than Song Lings group had.

Zhang Kun thought to himself that Song Ling no longer had the qualifications to talk to him.

Song Ling was momentarily taken aback but then burst into laughter. Youre right, Brother Kun! My apologies, it was my mistake. Let me make it up to you.

Song Ling believed that a real man should be adaptable and didnt care much about superficial pride. Zhang Kun was satisfied with Song Lings response and continued with his proposal.

Brother Zhao Hai, theres a group of people who keep encroaching on our territory, and they have a lot of resources, at least dozens of tons of rice. What do you say we cooperate this time? Zhang Kun said, trying to convince Zhao Hai.

Brother Zhao Hai, you wouldnt want your people to be poached, would you? Zhang Kun added, hinting at the possibility.

Its the villa area to the east, he specified.

Zhao Hai was taken aback. There was only one villa area to the east, and it was Chen Luos group. Zhang Kuns people had already been poached.

Goodness, they actually want to go against Chen Luo? Are they crazy? Zhao Hai thought. I was just wondering how to improve my relationship with Chen Luo. Now you show up?

Zhang Kun continued, We wont go overboard. Well ask him to share some resources with us and maybe allocate a few beautiful girls. It wouldnt hurt to have some eye candy once in a while.

Zhao Hai quickly agreed to the plan.

Thank you, my brother. Consider this a gift, Zhang Kun said.

With Zhang Kuns group of over three hundred people and Zhao Hais nearly three hundred, they combined forces, totaling around six hundred people. There was no need for any further deceit or tricks.

Without waiting for the next day, both groups swiftly mobilized and arrived at the villa area.

It was a little past 4 PM, and the members were returning from their tasks, gathering at the base.

As Zhang Kun stepped out of his vehicle, he shouted to catch the attention of Chen Luos group. We have over six hundred people here. If you dont want to die, you better kneel down.

Chen Luo observed the scene with curiosity, wondering why Zhao Hai seemed so desperate. On the other hand, Song Ling saw Chen Luo and decided to make a statement by playfully smacking Zhang Kun on the head from behind.

He teased, You want to challenge Chen Ge? Do you really have the strength for that?
