The table of food was eaten extremely cleanly; wasting food in the apocalypse was shameful, and Xiao Chu Niang had always controlled the amount of food she cooked perfectly, never wasting any.
However, when everyone put down their chopsticks, Fox Yaorao was truly stunned. She saw the woman Zuo Feng called Xiao Nv Pu actually bring out a plate of fruit—fresh watermelon, bayberries, and even peaches!
This was beyond luxurious in the apocalypse.
Fox Yaorao was shocked. These fresh fruits were extremely precious in the apocalypse. In the entire Dream City, only the Three Giants and the high-ranking officials of Peerless Apocalypse would occasionally enjoy them, she estimated...
Yet, these people were treating them as after-dinner fruit. A storm raged in Fox Yaorao's heart—what level of big shot had they encountered!
The subsequent small talk mostly involved Da Bai Tu, Da Mi Tao, and Da Yuanyuan discussing details with Fox Yaorao. Zuo Feng didn't pay too much attention to the specifics of their discussion; he was very confident in Da Bai Tu and the other two women to handle these matters.
The women discussed until late into the night before finishing.......
Fox Yaorao walked on the road after saying her goodbyes.
Now, Fox Yaorao held a small bag of three-line zombie crystals, and her eyes still held traces of shock.
loss crystals were hard currency in Dream City. The 26 loss crystals in the bag were provided by Zuo Feng for them to smooth things over. This generosity made her realize that she might have truly found a sanctuary in the apocalypse.
Especially that man's words: "You work for me, safety first. If you encounter trouble, prioritize saving your life, money comes second. If you encounter trouble you can't solve, come find me."
Fox Yaorao understood that this was not only protection for them but also a silent declaration of Zuo Feng's strength.
This confidence filled her with trust for the upcoming cooperation.
Behind her, Xi Luoluo and Dou Paopao nervously carried a small bag of canned meat. These cans were for their sisters; that domineering man had said: "Since they're working for me, I can't let them go hungry..."
To Fox Yaorao, 26 three-line zombie crystals was already a huge sum, but to Zuo Feng and his group, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
A single sixth-level arrow shot by Da Mi Tao was worth far more than these loss crystals.
The next day, a dozen women dispersed into various corners of Dream City, quietly gathering intelligence according to Fox Yaorao's instructions.
No one would have thought that these dozen inconspicuous women would be the fuse for a 'major earthquake' in Dream City not long after.
Zuo Feng's minivan had been borrowed by Fox Yaorao to transport these women to various medium-sized faction territories.......
Meanwhile, Zuo Feng and the others were discussing their subsequent plans in the metal container house. Zuo Feng was wiping a soccer ball, and Da Yuanyuan's gentle and pretty face was now flushed. Last night, she had lit her second lotus seed, and Zuo Feng, that big pervert, said he would reward her;
But she never expected that the big pervert's reward would be for her to wipe a soccer ball!
Now, Da Yuanyuan couldn't tell—who was rewarding whom...
"Knock... knock... knock" A gentle knocking sound came from outside the door. Zuo Feng frowned slightly, withdrew his hand from Da Yuanyuan's collar, and whispered, "Come in."
The door slowly opened, and Fox Yaorao poked her head in, softly reporting, "Brother Zuo, the sisters have been sent out. Now we just wait for the harvest."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Feng nodded, highly approving of Fox Yaorao's efficiency: "Very good. Tell them, safety first, and the accuracy of intelligence is most important. If they encounter trouble, don't try to tough it out; tell me immediately."
Fox Yaorao nodded, softly responding, "Understood, Brother Zuo, rest assured, I've already reminded them. Brother Zuo, there's one more thing, I don't know if I should say it."
Zuo Feng raised an eyebrow, motioning for her to continue; this woman was very sensible and generally wouldn't say anything meaningless.
Fox Yaorao hesitated for a moment, then whispered:
"Brother Zuo, the Flying Eagle Gang captured a few people a week ago. According to the information I've gathered, these people were technical backbone personnel from a military factory before the apocalypse. Not only do they possess advanced weapon manufacturing technology, but they also know the exact location of a large military factory.
Because the Flying Eagle Gang doesn't have the strength to take down that military factory, they've been keeping these people imprisoned, waiting until they have the strength to act later.
If we can get there first, we can not only acquire critical technology but also control that military factory, which would be extremely beneficial to our base."
Fox Yaorao's speaking skills were indeed very high. As soon as this piece of information was thrown out, it had already become "our base"; firstly, to test Zuo Feng's reaction and see if this information could allow her to join Firefly Base, and secondly, to close the distance between them and increase mutual trust.
Zuo Feng's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Is this information reliable? How many people know about it?" Zuo Feng naturally heard the phrase 'our base' in Fox Yaorao's words but did not correct it. This woman's information was extremely important; as long as it proved true, she would have rendered a great service.
Firefly Base currently severely lacked firearms, and Zuo Feng's experience at Huo Yao Base had given him a new understanding of the power of firearms. Pre-apocalypse guns indeed had limited lethality against zombies, but what if—the bullet heads were replaced with those cast from high-tier zombie materials?
Zuo Feng had no doubt that as long as they were willing to invest, even an ordinary person, holding a rifle equipped with five-level bullets, could completely kill a four-striped zombie if their aim was accurate!
While fifth-tier and above zombies were difficult to kill, as long as they were equipped with advanced bullets and had enough firepower, they could still cause heavy damage, and even have a chance to kill them!
"This information is also top secret within the Flying Eagle Gang. Besides me, only their leader and one of his confidants know about it.
Even the members who captured that group of technical personnel were all silenced by the Flying Eagle Gang's leader to prevent the information from leaking.
I only accidentally overheard him talking about it when he was drunk once.
He still doesn't know that I know this information, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have escaped the fate of being silenced either."
A trace of fear flashed in Fox Yaorao's eyes. She had originally planned to keep this information to herself, but now, this information was an opportunity, and she naturally wouldn't give it up.
Zuo Feng pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded: "You did very well, this information is crucial. If the information is true, you will be a person of our base from now on."
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Fox Yaorao's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, respectfully lowering her voice:
"Thank you, Brother Zuo, I will continue to serve the base. Brother Zuo, how should we proceed next? Do I need to inquire about the specific location where those technical personnel are being held?"
Zuo Feng's gaze was sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "No need. Since the Flying Eagle Gang's leader's confidant knows this information, we'll just ask him directly......."
A cold smile played on Zuo Feng's lips, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes:
"Isn't it normal for one or two people to disappear in this Dream City?"
Silencing people to keep information secret, the Flying Eagle Gang leader's methods were truly too ruthless, and his confidant probably wasn't much better, so Zuo Feng had no psychological burden in acting against them.
As for sending Fox Yaorao to investigate the detention location of the technical personnel, there was no need;
Firstly, it was too dangerous. Information could be directly extracted from the confidant, so there was no need to put Fox Yaorao at risk;
Secondly, to avoid alerting the enemy and affecting subsequent plans; if Fox Yaorao were caught, the Flying Eagle Gang would inevitably become more vigilant, and if they learned from Fox Yaorao that someone was eyeing their technical personnel, it would be hard to guarantee that other mishaps wouldn't occur.
