Fu Yunting didn't feel anything in particular.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he finally cleaned his feet after using up five bottles of mineral water.
"There's an artificial lake behind your community's central plaza. It's been drained. I went down to take a look. After diverting water from the mountain, we can create a lake and let animals come to play."
"Fu Yunting, I really didn't realize you were so invested in this sort of thing."
"I'm not that invested, I just want to build an environment suitable for us to live in. Once the blueprints are done, I'll mobilize a batch of zombies to dig."
An Nuan suddenly felt a bit sorry for the zombies.
Not only did they lack food and drink, but they were also enslaved to do work.
She walked around the community. Everyone already treated her like a leader, and they were all very polite.
Fu Yunting went home to change into clean clothes and shoes.
The radio crackled, and Shi Huai's voice came from the other end.
"Warm Boss, Brother Hu is here, should we let him in?"
"Let him in."
Brother Hu's convoy had grown even larger, with over twenty more people, several SUVs, and a truck.
As soon as Brother Hu got out of the car, he rushed towards Juanzi, picked him up, and spun him around a few times.
"We haven't seen each other for a while, your fur is even smoother and silkier than before. Is this a little wing? So beautiful!"
Brother Hu hugged Juanzi face-to-face, unwilling to let go.
Juanzi: You damn man, let go of me, I'm a male!
Juanjuan's Heavenly Eye opened and closed, contemplating whether to obliterate him with a laser.
An Nuan could already sense Juanzi's helplessness, but she chose to ignore it.
"Brother Hu, it's been a while, your team has grown again. So many people, can you afford to feed them all?"
"You have the nerve to talk about me? Look at the people here, nearly two hundred, right? An Nuan, I underestimated you before. You've got guts!"
Brother Hu saw several children and elderly people.
Most teams disliked the old, weak, sick, and disabled. The elderly and children were the first to be abandoned.
Those who accepted these age groups were no ordinary people.
Brother Hu felt ashamed.
"I don't have as much foresight as you. Right now, I can only support these brothers. Fortunately, heaven has been kind to me, and I can always find something to eat and drink, so we don't starve to death."
"You must have found a large supply depot. I see the tire tracks from your truck are quite deep; it looks full, doesn't it?"
Brother Hu was a bit proud.
These were things he and his brothers had painstakingly collected, and he felt very proud.
Fu Yunting summoned the mechanical bird and made five laser guns. As soon as he came out, he scanned Brother Hu several times.
"Do you have crystals on you?"
"Oh, you're an expert!"
Brother Hu didn't hide anything and readily took out a bag.
"When we were collecting supplies, we encountered a large wave of zombies. After defeating them, we searched and found over fifty crystals!"
"You specifically collected them?"
Brother Hu nodded. "Yes. I'm telling you, many people now know that zombies and monsters have crystals in their brains. Eating them makes you stronger. This thing has become a hard currency, and there are organizations that specifically collect them."
An Nuan felt a bit displeased.
In her previous life, various factions were also searching for crystals.
The higher the crystal concentration, the better the grade, and the more things they could exchange for.
Sweets, vegetables, meat, even cigarettes and alcohol could be exchanged.
Furthermore, since consuming them might cause self-detonation, many ability users and small groups preferred to exchange crystals for supplies rather than consuming them themselves.
An Nuan hadn't expected that in this life, an exchange point would appear so quickly.
This made venturing out to hunt even more dangerous.
They not only had to fight zombies to the death but also contend with calculating ability users.
An Nuan frowned. Fu Yunting lightly patted her head.
"What are you panicking about? We have an absolute advantage. We won't let anyone else level up before us."
An Nuan knew she had a great advantage.
Her spatial ability.
However, with more people, there would come a day when their supplies ran out.
The base had scientists and various talents who were plundering land to cultivate crops.
The crops they grew were inferior to genetically modified ones, but as long as they were edible and kept them alive, it was enough.
She didn't have agriculture herself, so one day she would struggle.
"Sis, what's wrong? You have such a sour face?"
"It's nothing, Brother Hu, you're here to deliver gold, right? I'll find someone to help you move it. Ming Le!"
"Coming!"
Ming Le and a group of girls had just finished fertilizing the flowers and plants.
The girls were all dressed scantily, many in shorts and tank tops, and they ran over, sweating.
A group of hot-bodied, visually pleasing girls stunned Brother Hu's straight male team.
"Beautiful ladies, can I have your WeChat?"
"Are you crazy? Where would you get WeChat now? If I gave you one, would it be useful?"
"How can we let the beautiful ladies do such rough work as moving gold bricks? We'll do it!"
A large group of straight men got out of their vehicles to move the gold bricks.
Ming Le knew that An Nuan called them over because she didn't want too many people entering the main house.
With so many dirty shoes being trampled around, it would be troublesome to clean.
Ming Le directly arranged the girls to form a long line, passing the gold bricks into the house like a chain.
"Young Master Fu wanted a hundred jin of gold, and I got five tons of gold bricks. The laser guns we agreed on earlier..."
"Only five laser guns were needed. I'll also give you three laser grenades. They're used like regular grenades, but they have great destructive power. It's best to cover your eyes."
Fu Yunting handed all the lasers to him.
Brother Hu held these items, caressing them like treasures.
"Good stuff, really good stuff! Squirrel, take these four for the search team brothers, and give the ones you have to the other brothers."
With laser guns, who would use ordinary firearms anymore?
Everyone immediately changed their equipment, and Lan Mei also came over to teach them how to use the laser guns.
As straight men who preferred guns and ammunition, everyone learned quickly.
Brother Hu said happily, "Gold is useless now. I don't know why Fu Yunting wants it, but at first, I wondered if you would make things difficult for me or haggle over the price at the last minute. I didn't expect you to be so true to your word!"
Fu Yunting wasn't exactly keeping his word.
The gold he received was more than he had expected, and the dimensional system could be upgraded earlier.
Exchanging a few weapons for the upgrade of the dimensional system meant he was getting the better deal.
Fu Yunting said, "Are you selling all your crystals, or keeping half?"
"I'll keep ten, and exchange the rest. I estimate I can get fifty jin of rice and ten boxes of mineral water, maybe even some meat and clothes. I have a lot of people, and these won't last long."
"Let's make a trade. We have supplies, you have crystals, and we'll exchange."
An Nuan secretly pinched Fu Yunting's flesh.
After pinching, she realized she had grabbed his buttock flesh...
She awkwardly pursed her lips, let go, and glared fiercely at Fu Yunting.
"Don't mess around! We haven't calculated the supplies yet."
"It's alright, we have plenty of supplies."
Hmph, what made him so sure? Such an arrogant man!
