Post-Apocalyptic: Unlimited Resources, Neighbor's Wife and Sister Beg for the Door to Open

Chapter 66: An Extra Condition – They Even Went for the Skin! (Please Read On!)

Kuosen City is right next to Azure City, and the straight-line distance from the Golden Spear Building to the Sword Base is only 170 kilometers.

This armed helicopter flies at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

If we only consider the time spent in the air, we arrived in a little over half an hour.

The appearance of the three helicopters immediately attracted the attention of the base officials.

As soon as Lu Zheng and his group landed, they were surrounded by a group of people.

After seeing Lu Zheng and the others' attire, the leading officer was taken aback.

"Aren't you all from other official bases?"

Yin Xinyao took the initiative to step forward and salute.

"Hello, I am Yin Xinyao, a security guard in Canglan City. These are my colleagues, and this is Mr. Lu. These helicopters were created by him using his supernatural abilities."

“Mr. Lu came to see us off. We don’t belong to any official base; we’re just here to take refuge.”

Xue Li doubted his own ears.

"You mean, he used his superpowers to build a helicopter?"

Lu Zheng smiled and waved.

They were all added to the Unlimited Resources Card.

As the helicopter disappeared, Xue Li's eyes widened in shock.

Then, he walked up with great enthusiasm, his eyes filled with fervor.

"Mr. Lu, the Sharp Sword Base warmly welcomes you. We desperately need you!"

Yin Xinyao and the others, left standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

They are the ones who should stay.

Lu Zheng smiled and said:
"I just came to see them off and to take a look at how the official large base is managed."

“There are still thousands of people in Azure City who are waiting for me to support them. I have to go back and manage them. I can’t stay here for too long.”

Xue Li became anxious upon hearing this.

"Mr. Lu, you can't leave!"

"We are currently experiencing severe ammunition depletion and lack of production conditions; every bullet we use is one less bullet we have."

"But the insects seemed to be endless."

We desperately need your help!

He even used honorifics at the end, which shows that they really needed help.

Lu Zheng waved his hand and said:

"I'm sorry, I have to be responsible for the people of Azure City."

"I don't use my powers casually. It's not that I can't help you, but I need enough incentives in return."

"For example, crystal nuclei."

Xue Li's expression changed, and he waved his hand, saying:
"How about this, I'll take you to talk to our chief of staff. We can discuss the price."

“I can’t make the decision, but we should be able to talk about it.”

Lu Zheng's request is reasonable.

After all, since it was something created by consuming supernatural energy, it's only right that they ask for some crystal cores as payment.

You can't exploit others.

Little did he know that Lu Zheng's unlimited resource card had not been used at all.

It means that one can take out countless things in the blink of an eye.

He's essentially harvesting the crystal cores from the Sharp Sword base!
Xue Li casually instructed a few people to take Yin Xinyao and the others to arrange their accommodations, and then personally led Lu Zheng to an office reception room.

Two minutes later, a middle-aged man of about fifty years old walked in.

"Hello Mr. Lu, my name is Zang Zhenyu, and I am the chief of staff of this base."

“Your abilities are very important to the development of our entire base, and we are very willing to cooperate with you.”

"I wonder what kind of assistance you can provide, like those armed helicopters, fully armed, how many crystal cores would you need in exchange?"

Lu Zheng originally came here to find resource cards. But he was also very happy to obtain a large number of crystal cores, and even to be able to obtain crystal cores in the long term.

He can use the unlimited resource card freely, so he will definitely not lose out.

It's the difference between making a killing and making a fortune.

For the sake of long-term cooperation, he couldn't take too big a step at once; he needed to consider the trading capabilities of the Sharp Sword Base.

After a moment's thought, he spoke:

“I can provide two kinds of assistance. One is armed helicopters, which can be exchanged for 10,000 Tier 1 crystal cores or 500 Tier 2 crystal cores.”

"The other type is this assault rifle, which comes with a magazine of bullets. Five Tier 2 crystal cores can be exchanged for one rifle."

"Just bullets, one Tier 1 crystal core for ten bullets, that makes perfect sense, right?"

For these well-trained soldiers, killing the insects was not difficult; what stood in their way as they recaptured the city were the black fog and the pits.

Four or five bullets are more than enough to kill a sickle worm.

Based on this calculation alone, the Sword Base has a considerable profit margin.

However, in reality, due to the losses in physical strength, personnel, materials, and other aspects, the cost will be far greater than this figure.

Zang Zhenyu, of course, could not agree to that.

So the two sides began to discuss, and after a tug-of-war, they finally agreed on a price that satisfied both sides.

An armed helicopter costs 8,000 Tier 1 crystal cores or 300 Tier 2 crystal cores to exchange for one fully equipped.

Three Tier 2 crystal cores can be exchanged for one assault rifle, and one Tier 1 crystal core can be exchanged for fifteen bullets.

With prices reduced across the board, Lu Zheng would naturally have additional conditions.

He had not forgotten the real purpose of his visit.

He then took the opportunity to ask if he could take a few people with him.

Zang Zhenyu and the others knew that Lu Zheng also had a base with several thousand people and controlled a lot of resources. He was willing to share some of the population pressure, which was a good thing.

They even suggested that he take 10,000 or 20,000 people with him and leave.

Of course, Lu Zheng firmly rejected the offer.

"I only take in those weak, helpless beauties. Others are out of the question. There are so many people in Azure City waiting for me to save them. I don't need the 10,000 or 20,000 here."

Being men, they immediately understood Lu Zheng's thoughts.

Zang Zhenyu said seriously:
“Mr. Lu, I hope you can respect their own choice.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng nodded without hesitation.

"No problem, I'm just giving them another option."

"Alright, you prepare the crystal cores you want to exchange first. I'll go find someone who's destined to meet you, and we'll make the transaction this afternoon."

Zang Zhenyu nodded in agreement.

Then, Xue Li was asked to accompany Lu Zheng to search for a destined person within the base, probably because they were afraid that Lu Zheng would cause some major trouble.

Walking down the street, Lu Zheng casually took out a black watermelon and looked at Xue Li, saying:

"Come on, cut it open and eat it together."

Xue Li stared in astonishment at the scene, finding it hard to believe.

Although it's almost autumn, it's still very hot.

Watermelon is undoubtedly a very tempting fruit.

But now everyone can't even afford a meal, so where can they find watermelon to eat?
Xue Li quickly cut the watermelon open and, at Lu Zheng's instruction, distributed it to the other two soldiers who were following him.

The four of them shared a few pieces of watermelon.

Xue Li and the other two wished they could eat the watermelon rind.

Lu Zheng only ate a few bites of the best part in the middle. He originally intended to throw the rest on the ground, but Xue Li and the others stopped him and snatched it away to eat.

“If I go to search alone, with so many people, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find the right person. How about this, let’s find an open space first, and then I’ll trouble Commander Xue to call a hundred refugees for me. I’ll give them food and have them help me with some tasks.”

As he spoke, Lu Zheng took out a black-skinned watermelon and had the group share it.

"He who eats another's food is bound to him," so Xue Li immediately went to find someone as requested.

　Thanks for the support!
