CH 88

Li Zhen looked over with cold eyes, which caused them to shiver and quickly put away their eager gazes, then they let Fang He and Li Zhen into the house. 

Both of them entered the shed where Wang Che and Wei Ziting lived. Although the house was not big, only about ten square meters, this was already considered a good place in the base. There were also water supplies in it, which was much better than the steel plate house temporarily rented by Fang He and Li Zhen. However, the relative amount of crystal nuclei to be paid was several times higher. Just from this point of view alone, these people from X County were not lacking crystal nuclei.

Wang Che neatly pulled out a folding sofa, and after unfolding it, he let Fang He and Li Zhen sit down first, then turned around to brew two cups of tea. The tea leaves floating in the porcelain cups were fresh and green, and it looked quite novel and the taste was just right.

Wang Che then dragged a long stool and sat down with Wei Ziting. Seeing that Fang He seemed to be interested in tea, he said, “This was made by Brother Chen. He is a plant-type mutant. He used to sell tea and knew how to dry tea. If the little leader likes it, I’ll go to him and ask him to do more. Our group has all kinds of abilities, so regardless of livelihood or in combat, everyone was a professional.

Speaking of this, Wang Che paused, then thought of Li Zhen’s great feat of clearing half of the zombies in the county. He rubbed his head and said, “Although we are far from the boss in terms of skills, we will certainly be useful, so let us follow! It’s okay even if it’s just a façade, we can do anything possible, ah.” 

Listening to Wang Che’s words, Fang He almost spit out a mouthful of tea. Little leader, what’s with this title…but this was much better than being called directly as a patron or something. Fang He thought about it and did not dwell on it, wasn’t it just a title, a boss was still the boss.

Wang Che saw that Fang He’s face looked different, and hurriedly said, “Little leader, don’t misunderstand, I’m not reciting any lines.”

Fang He could barely hold in his laughter and put the cup of tea that he had drained to the side, “I do have something I want to ask you guys for.”

Wang Che immediately looked at Fang He with his eyes full of light, “Little leader, please speak!”

Fang He asked, “What about the others?”

“They all live nearby, not too far away. I’ll call them!” Wei Ziting said quickly.

Fang He waved his hand, “Don’t bother, you can call them again later. I’ll talk about it first, and you can later consult with them.”

“If I don’t inform them when you’re here, they’ll scold me. I’ll go and return quickly.” Wei Ziting hurried out. 

Fang He looked at the little figure who hurriedly ran out, and then looked at the small room. If more than 30 people came, would they all fit here?

“If you have something to say, there is no need to discuss it, we will definitely agree.” As Wang Che spoke, he followed Fang He’s line of sight to look around where they lived. Was it a bit small? He thought about whether it would be too crowded? Should he rent a bigger place or just directly buy one?

Li Zhen pulled Fang He to stand up, “After everyone has arrived, go to the Xiaoyun Mountain ruins outside the base, we will wait there.”

Where is Xiaoyun Mountain? It seemed that he had to ask first.

Fang He sat on a broken wall and yawned, seeing that it was getting dark, he asked, “Li Zhen, this place doesn’t look hidden, will it work?”

Li Zhen was right beside Fang He, looking up in the direction of the base, “I’ll cover it up a bit later, so it should be fine.” 

The zombies have been relatively quiet recently, and most of the hunter teams are taking advantage of this good time, regardless of the morning and evening to go out to the mission. Therefore, Wang Che’s group was not too conspicuous when they came out of the hunter team exit of the second line of defense. They drove a total of four cars, squeezing more than thirty of them.

When Fang He saw them from a distance, he jumped off the broken wall and said, “They’re here.”

Li Zhen nodded and suddenly said, “Does He-miao mind that others know about our space?”

Fang He turned his head to look at Li Zhen, “You want them to see it?” 

Li Zhen nodded and said, “They will be in our team from now on, and at the very least trust should still be given.”

That’s right, these people were all good anyway, and Fang He didn’t mind letting them know.

Li Zhen smiled upon seeing Fang He nod. But when he thought that those people would soon see what Fang He can do, and  how their gazes certainly would become way more enthusiastic in the future, Li Zhen became unhappy again.

Just thinking about it, Li Zhen suddenly reached out and took off Fang He’s hat. He looked at Fang He’s drooping black cat ears and frowned. He reached out and gently touched them, “Is it uncomfortable?” 

Fang He reached out and rubbed them, “It’s a little itchy, but it’s fine.”

He grabbed the hat and quickly put it on. There was a clairvoyant in this group of people. Although these people all know his cat shape, inexplicably, Fang He just didn’t want anyone except for Li Zhen to see him having these cat ears when he was in his human form.

Li Zhen stretched out his hand and took off his hat again, then threw the hat directly into the space. He stretched out his hand and pulled the hood of Fang He’s jacket to cover Fang He. Fang He reached out and touched it, but it did not show the shape of his cat ears, and it was softer than a baseball cap and more comfortable.

When this group of people stopped their cars outside the ruins, what they saw was the closeness of the two of them, which immediately attracted envious glances. Yang Fei sighed, “I really want to hold my wife in my arms…” 

Wang Che wasn’t in the mood to scold him, “Hold your ass, you don’t even have a girlfriend, yet you’re already fantasizing about having a wife.”

Yang Fei glanced at him and muttered, “I already scolded myself for being an idiot.”

This retard, he really wanted to punch someone!

Li Zhen embraced Fang He and turned to look at them. The group of people immediately restrained their expressions and bowed their heads respectfully, “Big Leader, little leader!” 

Fang He opened his mouth, “My name is Fang He and his name is Li Zhen. You don’t have to be so polite.”

A group of people immediately said in unison, “We remember, little leader.”

Fang He no longer looked at their sincere eyes, and said, “You all said what your names are.”

Soon these thirty or so people said their name once, along with what type and level of their abilities. Fang He was a little shocked for a while. Almost all of these people were level 3 mutants. If Wei Panjiang knew this, it was estimated that he would be very envious. 

After the courtesy, Fang He coughed dryly and said, “It’s like this, we want to ask you for a favor.”

“Little leader, please speak.” Yang Fei said.

“Before, Li Zhen and I set up a hunter team, and we took on a mission. We need everyone’s help to complete it.”

“No problem. What kind of mission, please tell us, little leader.” Yang Fei immediately replied. 

“It’s nothing, it’s just an SSS-level collection mission. The target is 100,000 tons of steel plate material.” Fang He said.

Once these words came out, more than thirty people looked at each other, and they were internally shocked. As expected of their bosses, this was a big project.

Li Zhen looked at one of them, “Cover this place first.”

The man’s name was Wang Ping, he immediately nodded. He put his hands on his temples and quickly set up a large area of fog around them. 

It really looked like a fog, but it was actually a kind of distorted light that turned into a gray and white fog but it did not hinder their sight. In fact, he could directly turn the place into a night scene. This area, within a radius of several miles, was shrouded in this gray-white fog, and it gradually faded with the distance. It was not too conspicuous, and people couldn’t see the situation inside at all.

“This ability is amazing.” Fang He said.

“Light attribute ability. He should be able to release strong light, which can instantly affect people’s sight.” Li Zhen said.

Others in X County were used to seeing this, so they didn’t discuss this white fog issue. They were racking their brains to think how they could transport such a large amount of steel plates. 

Wang Che said, “It seems that there are some steel factories in Z City, why don’t we go there?”

“The problem is that it will be difficult for us to transport them because the quantities are so large and the distance is too far. This requires not only manpower, but also gasoline for cars. There is also no guarantee that the journey will be smooth. I heard that there have been several zombie tides over there. Although we may be able to withstand it, it will take several years to transport it over and over again.” Yang Fei said.

“Actually, we already have the steel plates, but we just lack manpower.”

Fang He’s voice was not loud, but when he opened his mouth, everyone stopped talking, and then when they realized what Fang He said, everyone was shocked. 

Wang Che asked with a trembling voice, “Little leader, what are you talking about?”

Fang He looked at Li Zhen, and Li Zhen nodded. He planned to let Fang He do these things from the very beginning. On the one hand, Li Zhen wanted Fang He to establish prestige in the hearts of these people; on the other hand, he wanted Fang He to witness with his own eyes that the base could become something different in his own hands.

Fang He looked at this group of people with a smile and pointed behind them. A large amount of steel plates have been stacked there, and dozens of transport vehicles have been parked. When collecting materials in Z City, Fang He did not forget to get all those big trucks that transport containers.

There was silence… long silence… 

Suddenly, Wang Che reached out and grabbed Yang Fei, and Yang Fei, who was strong, took a breath and kicked the person away.

Wang Che patted the leg that was kicked painfully, then grabbed Yang Fei’s arm again, and suddenly said, “Am I seeing this correctly? I actually saw a huge mountain of steel!”

He turned his head and glared at the dumbfounded Wang Ping over there, “Did you do this with your ghost ability?”

Over there, Wang Ping with the light attribute ability, shook his head stupidly. At most, his ability could confuse people, and he was not yet at the level where he could make people see such real illusions. 

Yang Fei pulled Wang Che forward, and when the two of them moved, the others also followed.

When he reached the front and was sure that there was a large piece of steel plate material in front of him, Wang Che leaped up with a cry, and flew to Fang He’s side. His eyes lit up and said excitedly, “Little leader, you are actually a god!”
