Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter 42 Feng Teng Returns to the Manor

Feng Teng, who was on Gao Feng's mind, finally entered the vicinity of the villa after dodging wave after wave of zombie attacks and mutated plants.

"Captain Feng, have you noticed that things have been much calmer along the way?" Xiang Zuo frowned. Something was definitely amiss; not a single zombie had appeared, which was very strange.

Xiang You nodded in agreement, then asked cautiously, "We haven't stumbled into the territory of some big boss, have we?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Teng seemed to understand something, "This is near the villa, probably because of the mutated roses."

After the three entered the villa, they saw a group of people preparing dinner with great enthusiasm, a scene of harmony.

"I traded some eggs with Miss Long today. Does anyone have any tomatoes? Let's make some tomato and egg soup."

"I, I have some here. I also traded some green peppers and mushrooms with Miss Long. I have wind-type abilities, and today I stole a chick while the rooster in the western farm wasn't looking. Look, this chick is as big as a big yellow dog."

"Seriously, this chicken must be mutated! It's huge! Bro, are you really going to eat it? Aren't you afraid of getting sick from it?"

"I don't think this chicken has turned into a zombie, nor has it been bitten by a zombie. It's just a bit big, so it should be fine. I haven't eaten meat in a long time. If there's any real problem, you all better stay away from me."

"Yes, I saw that Miss Long and the others also ate the mutant chicken, so they must be fine."

"Hey, Commander Feng?" Someone shouted from the crowd, and Feng Teng and his two companions were instantly surrounded.

"Commander Feng, you're finally back! The soldiers have been waiting for you every day, worried that something might have happened to you."

Yes, yes.

······

"I have to go out for a bit," Feng Teng explained. "Excuse me, everyone, please make way, I need to get back in a hurry."

The rescued survivors were unaware of the relationship between Long Yangyang and Feng Wenwen. Since he had been gone for so long, Feng Teng was worried about Gao Feng and the others and wanted to confirm their safety.

"Yes, yes, make way for the group ban immediately."

As Feng Teng and his two companions made their way through the crowd, they encountered Gao Feng and Shi Kai. The two of them had rushed downstairs after hearing the news of Feng Teng's return.

"How have you been lately?" Feng Teng asked, noticing their rosy complexions, assuming they were doing well.

“We usually kill zombies and use the zombie cores to trade with Miss Long for vegetables and fruits, so we don’t lack food or drink,” Gao Feng replied.

To be honest, this life is more comfortable than living at the base, provided that Feng Wenwen's matter isn't causing trouble.

"Moreover, with Miss Long's mutated roses, the nearby mutated plants dare not approach the manor. A few days ago, when you guys were not back, Miss Long's rose army wiped out all the zombies in the surrounding area and harvested a lot of crystal cores."

There's nowhere safer around than this resort; if we want to kill zombies, we have to go into the city.

Feng Teng understood what Gao Feng meant: Long Yangyang didn't lack crystal cores, and he didn't know if their transaction still counted.

"I'll go take a look first."

Upon hearing Gao Feng's words, the two brothers exchanged a glance, thankful that they had given up early, otherwise they wouldn't even know how they died.

"Boom boom boom——"

When Feng Teng and the others entered Long Yangyang's room, they found her sitting at the dining table watching Fu Muyu make sandwiches. The table was covered with ingredients: ham, fried eggs, lettuce, bacon, pork floss, tomatoes...

Yun Cangshu and Bai Zhi had woken up and were playing cards with Qiu Ling. It was a peaceful and warm scene, a picture of tranquility and contentment.

Feng Teng looked at the scene before him with envy, but unfortunately, he didn't know when he would be able to enjoy such a life.

"Boss, I'm back."

Those who followed Feng Teng in, to the left and right, asked, "Boss?" He secretly glanced at Fu Muyu. "Feng Tuan, could he have betrayed us from the start?" No, Feng Tuan belonged to the Legion, and he and Feng Enning were never on the same side.

Long Yangyang looked up at Feng Teng, then lowered her head, her gaze fixed on the sandwich Fu Muyu had made, clearly not wanting to pay any attention to him.

Fu Muyu took off his disposable gloves, ruffled Long Yangyang's long black hair, handed her a plate of fruit from the side, and got up to walk to Feng Teng's side.

"Tell me, after all this time, what does Feng Enning plan to do?"

Looking at Fu Muyu's sudden seriousness, Feng Teng thought to himself, "Our boss really has no humanity when it comes to women. Just now, his eyes were so tender when he was looking at Long Yangyang, but when he's facing him, he has a cold, handsome face."

"Feng Enning has arranged for someone to rescue Feng Wenwen. If they succeed, they won't give her the crystal cores; if they fail, these crystal cores will be yours." Feng Teng put down the backpack behind him, and Fu Muyu opened it, revealing a backpack full of crystal cores.

“We encountered mutated plants on the road, and two people died. We didn’t find the zombie crystal cores they had,” Feng Teng explained. “These are the remaining crystal cores. Xiang Zuo and Xiang You have abandoned their mission and plan to join our army.”

"You sent people here to exchange crystal cores, but you didn't bring any space ability users?" Fu Muyu obviously didn't expect this situation. "Mutant plants need crystal cores to advance, and you brought so many crystal cores with you. No wonder you've been targeted."

Feng Teng suddenly realized, twitched his lips, and resigned himself to his bad luck in encountering a powerful mutated plant. After all, none of them knew anything about this matter: "Boss, I'm sorry, Feng Enning only gave us 40,000 crystal cores, and we lost half of them on the way."

There are very few space-age ability users in the base; including Qiu Yu from our team, there are only three in total, making them extremely valuable. Feng Enning wouldn't let them come out with us.

Qiu Yu was originally a soldier and not under Feng Enning's command, which is why he was able to work with them on the mission.

"Yangyang, let's return them to them. Keeping them is a waste of resources," Fu Muyu suggested. As for Feng Wenwen, she was fine, since she had military doctors treating her.

Hanging on the rose vines, Lu Yuan and the others, half-dead, had not yet breathed their last, but were kept alive by the nectar of the mutated roses.

It has to be said that the mutated plants are truly a treasure trove. The nectar of the mutated roses not only tastes good, but its beauty, skin-nourishing, and anti-aging effects are more than a hundred times stronger than before the apocalypse.

The rose essence extracted from mutated roses possesses powerful vitality; long-term consumption can not only enhance physical fitness but also prolong life.

Lu Yuan and the others were using the essence of mutated roses to stay alive. If it weren't for their low-level abilities, which would have been enough to use the essence of a level one mutated rose, Long Yangyang and the others would have simply abandoned them and let them fend for themselves.

"Oh, okay." Long Yangyang's voice was somewhat dejected, clearly dissatisfied with the outcome and feeling that she had suffered a great loss.

“Miss Long, Feng Enning did say that insufficient crystal cores can be replaced with supplies. But this requires you to go to the Ningshan base.” Feng Teng glanced at Fu Muyu and subtly reminded her.

"Ningshan Base is Feng Enning's territory. Miss Long, your forces are formidable, but while it's easy to dodge open attacks, it's hard to guard against hidden ones. Plus, there are many people at the base, and their words can be quite varied..."

If the eldest brother's identity were discovered, who knows what the Fu family would do...
