“Brother Lu, since all the statistics are out, the next moving work will be handed over to you!”
As soon as Zuo Feng finished speaking, Lu Zhuoyan responded loudly: “Don’t worry, Brother Zuo! Our Huo Yao Base’s transport team is already ready and will efficiently and accurately transport these precious resources back to Firefly Base.”
Lu Zhuoyan then issued instructions, and the transport team quickly moved, with various resources being loaded and shipped in an orderly manner.
There were simply too many materials and personnel this time; Zuo Feng’s kongling crystal was far from enough.
The five girls he brought all had kongling crystal, and now their kongling crystal were packed full of high-grade zombie materials and loss crystal; the transport of other materials and personnel could only rely on Lu Zhuoyan’s transport team.
A convoy of thousands of people majestically drove out of Peerless Apocalypse, with accompanying Mutants along the way maintaining strict vigilance to ensure the safety of the materials.
The transport of materials from Peerless Apocalypse alone would take a full seven days.
Zuo Feng was certain that Firefly’s original location would absolutely not be able to accommodate so many materials and personnel, but he wasn't worried; he believed that Da Mi Tao and Da Yuanyuan had already prepared for expansion, and the base's expansion project had been proceeding in full swing.
For a full seven days, the convoy traveled day and night, finally completing the transport of materials from Peerless Apocalypse.
Zuo Feng had still underestimated Lu Zhuoyan’s ambition; originally, Zuo Feng thought Lu Zhuoyan would recruit at most one thousand low-level Mutants, but he didn't expect Lu Zhuoyan to recruit two thousand low-level Mutants in one go!
However, Zuo Feng didn't pay much attention to these things; Lu Zhuoyan dared to accept them, so he naturally had his reasons and methods. He believed Lu Zhuoyan was not a brainless person, and if he dared to accept them, he would definitely have a way to control these 2000 Mutants.
Zuo Feng was also not worried that Huo Yao Base developing too quickly would threaten Firefly; after all, both sides already had a deep alliance, and the stronger Huo Yao Base was, the greater the benefits for Firefly.
On the evening of the seventh day, as the last batch of materials was transported away from Peerless Apocalypse, Zuo Feng and Lu Zhuoyan stood at the base entrance, watching the convoy drive into the distance.
Watching the convoy gradually disappear from sight, Zuo Feng and Lu Zhuoyan exchanged a smile, both understanding that their respective bases were about to undergo a qualitative leap.
Lu Zhuoyan patted Zuo Feng’s shoulder and said with emotion: “Brother Zuo, I’ve gained a huge advantage this time! In the future, no matter what the task, my Huo Yao Base will go all out!”
Zuo Feng smiled and shook his head, responding: “Brother Lu, you exaggerate. We are allies; helping each other is what we should do, and common progress is the hard truth. This cooperation is just the beginning; in the future, we will surely work together to create an even broader world.”
The two talked for a few more sentences, and then Lu Zhuoyan led his subordinates back to Huo Yao Base.
The immense wealth this time had stunned Lu Zhuoyan, and he still hadn't fully recovered. He needed to rush back; only when he saw those materials and personnel in his base could he be completely at ease.
Zuo Feng was not in a hurry to return, but instead led the girls to bid farewell to the three major bases one by one, and then slowly drove the commercial vehicle away from Dream City.
This time, although the three major bases had taken great advantage, no matter what, they helped maintain order, which was no small help, and the necessary courtesies could not be omitted.
As for the remaining Mutants in Peerless Apocalypse, they were naturally divided among the three major forces.
Zuo Feng didn't reject all Mutants this time; at least, he accepted all types of Mutants such as water, electricity, blacksmiths, and support types. These types of Mutants were crucial for Firefly’s development.
Inside the commercial vehicle, Zuo Feng sat in the back row, holding Little Knife Girl and Xiao Dian Dian, and began to brainstorm Firefly’s next development plan. Currently, Firefly was in an awkward situation with abundant resources but few personnel and Mutants.
Zuo Feng knew that breaking this awkward situation could not be solved by simply recruiting a large number of people.
First, he had to intensify efforts to cultivate Mutants loyal to Firefly, otherwise, no long-term planning could be carried out.
If the management consisted of disloyal Mutants, even abundant resources would not be utilized to their fullest potential, and recruiting more people would be futile, ultimately benefiting others.
Therefore, Zuo Feng decided to select a group of loyal personnel to take xiao songta (little pine cone) for in-depth training, gradually building a stable core team.
Only in this way could Firefly proceed with its next development plan.
Inside the commercial vehicle, Little Knife Girl and Xiao Dian Dian nestled in Zuo Feng’s arms, their faces blushing with shy smiles, their eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future.
Meanwhile, in a wilderness, a private car was speeding. Driving the car was a young girl with a dirty face and body. The girl gripped the steering wheel, her eyes blank. Her name was Huan Jingjing.
Before the apocalypse, Huan Jingjing was an ordinary office worker in City E, with a reclusive personality. Apart from having countless admirers, she was otherwise unremarkable.
Despite having many admirers before the apocalypse, Huan Jingjing knew in her heart that all of them were attracted by her beauty, and no one had ever truly understood her inner self.
When the apocalypse arrived, everything changed suddenly.
Huan Jingjing was very lucky; she became a Mutant with excellent talent and joined a small survivor team.
In the team, Huan Jingjing met her first best friend.
Having always been accustomed to solitude, she began to learn dependence and trust from the moment she met her best friend.
However, fate played a cruel trick. After nearly three months of companionship, Huan Jingjing regarded her best friend as an indispensable reliance in her life, but in an accident, she witnessed her best friend's betrayal, and her heart turned to ashes.
Huan Jingjing had been completely open with her best friend, even sharing her biggest secret.
However, she never expected that her best friend, to curry favor with a more powerful Mutant, would not hesitate to betray her, even conspiring to capture Huan Jingjing and offer her to the other party in exchange for personal gain.
Even her once-trusted teammates, fearing trouble, abandoned her without hesitation.
In despair, Huan Jingjing leaked her secret to that Mutant’s sworn enemy, successfully escaping by leveraging the conflict between the two sides. At this moment, her heart was filled only with anger at the betrayal and confusion about the future.
Having left her most familiar city and the team she once trusted, Huan Jingjing was now alone, aimlessly drifting in the wilderness.
She had been fleeing for seven or eight days, utterly exhausted.
The dirt on her face and the dust on her body concealed her former stunning beauty, and her eyes held only deep confusion. In this apocalypse, a person’s survival was like a flickering candle in the wind, liable to be extinguished at any moment.
Huan Jingjing knew that unless one's strength was awe-inspiring, it would be difficult to survive alone in this apocalypse. After all, there were always times when one needed to rest, and danger was everywhere.
She had to find a safe refuge as soon as possible, but in this apocalypse, her appearance was her biggest burden; beauty had become the source of attracting danger.
She didn't know where her true sanctuary was in an apocalypse without rules.
