Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter Ninety-Six: Old Friends Repeated

"Wait a minute, Commander Yue, there are level four crystal cores in here. We killed them with our lives." At this moment, a discordant voice rang out from the crowd.

Long Yangyang raised an eyebrow. Having obtained quite a few crystal cores, she was in a good mood for the time being and was interested in watching these people put on a show in front of her. Hmm, she hoped they wouldn't disappoint her.

"Xu Wei, how dare you speak like that?" Qin Xiao retorted, glancing disdainfully at the speaker. "When we first asked for help, didn't we agree on the terms? All the crystal cores we obtained on this trip would go to the rescuers."

He hates treacherous people the most, just like that person.

"Those were the terms you negotiated with Commander Yue. They have nothing to do with our Xiongfeng Ability Group. Commander, don't you agree?" Xu Wei argued. They had never said they supported the Feiyu Ability Group's decision.

“That’s right, Xu Wei is right. Our Xiongfeng Ability Group has never said anything about agreeing. Group Leader Yue, you can’t give this young lady the level four zombie cores we killed.” The leader of the Xiongfeng Ability Group is named Xiong Feng, a tall man who looks like a bear.

His superpower is also related to bears: a level four beast transformation ability. He can transform into a giant black bear. In his beast form, he is incredibly strong and has amazing defense. Level four zombies simply cannot break through his fur.

"Xiong Feng, what do you mean? If they hadn't saved us, you wouldn't have had a chance to kill a level four zombie. You would have been devoured by the zombie horde long ago." Qin Xiao stated the facts without any politeness.

Xiong Feng's face was extremely ugly, clearly Qin Xiao's words pointed out that he was not strong enough. "So what? Yes, they repelled the zombie horde."

But I also put in a lot of effort, so why should the three of them get all the crystal cores?

Xiong Feng was reluctant to part with the level-four crystal core. After being besieged by the zombie horde for so long, Xiong Feng understood even more the importance of strength in the post-apocalyptic world. How could he improve his strength without relying on crystal cores?

Unpurified zombie crystal cores are unusable, so he can accumulate zombie crystal cores first. Level 4 zombie crystal cores are extremely rare, and he doesn't want to give them away.

"What do you guys think? Xing Chao, Lu Yang, you also killed a level four zombie, right? Are you really planning to give away the crystal cores from the zombies you killed?"

Xing Chao and Lu Yang were both surviving Level 4 ability users. They belonged to another ability group—the Super Ability Group. Naturally, they were unwilling to give away the Level 4 crystal cores they had obtained.

However, the laser sword, crystal core pistol, and protective shield that Yueyao took out were really good items, and they wanted to find an opportunity to trade some with Yueyao.

Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate a good relationship with Yueyao. Since Yueyao has agreed, they naturally cannot object.

However, if Xiong Feng's unreasonable demands could actually get the crystal core back, they would naturally be happy to let him act up.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Xiong Feng glared at them angrily. "Commander Yue, everyone has been surrounded by zombies for so long and is exhausted. Don't let these trivial matters ruin your harmony."

I, Old Bear, am like someone demanding my crystal core back. If you don't give it to me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Xiong Feng and his group of superpowered individuals surrounded Yue Yao. The three people who suddenly appeared to save her were powerful and not to be trifled with, so he didn't dare to touch them.

But Yueyao, their ability group currently has three level four ability users, and Yueyao herself is only level five. He is confident that he still has the power to strike.

"Of course, Commander Yue, if you're willing to compensate me for my losses with a protective shield, a level four zombie isn't out of the question."

Xiong Feng's words stirred up Xing Chao and Lu Yang, who also coveted the protective shield in Yue Yao's possession, which could withstand the siege of a zombie horde led by a level six zombie.

They thought that if Yueyao showed even the slightest sign of compromise, they would immediately side with Xiong Feng.

Who wouldn't want something this good?

"Xiong Feng, you've gone too far! If it weren't for Commander Yue providing the protective shield, we wouldn't have made it to the rescue. And you repay kindness with enmity, coveting Commander Yue's treasure! That's outrageous!" Xiao Tu blocked Yue Yao's path and angrily rebuked Xiong Feng.

"Hmph, as if you don't want it. I think maybe it's because Commander Yue has something good that attracted the zombies to surround us," Xiong Feng said shamelessly.

"After all, the base hasn't developed anything like laser swords or crystal core guns, so how could she have them? Besides, everyone here has been at the Qingdu base since the apocalypse, so why is Yueyao the only one with a level 5 ability user?"

"Does she have anything that can quickly enhance superpowers?"

Xiong Feng's words instantly caused a stir among the survivors. Many people's gazes towards Yue Yao changed, and the survivors who were originally united in the face of the zombie horde instantly split into three camps.

Some people blatantly stood behind Xiong Feng, blaming Yue Yao for all the dangers they encountered and demanding that she hand over the protective shield as compensation.

Some people, led by Xing Chao and Lu Yang, stood still and watched Xiong Feng accuse Yue Yao. They seemed to be helping each other, but only they knew what they were really thinking.

Xiao Tu and Qin Xiao, who had spoken up for Yue Yao from the beginning, walked up to Yue Yao and said, "Xiong Feng, you don't need to make false accusations. Everyone knows that the flesh and blood of superhumans will attract zombies. If you want Yue Yao's protective shield, just take it openly. Maybe we'll think more highly of you then."

"You, hmph," Xiong Feng was furious that his thoughts had been exposed, "Yueyao, what kind of person are you, the leader of a regiment, hiding behind others? I was just making a reasonable guess, what, did I guess right and you dare not say a word?"

Seeing that Yueyao did not refute him, Xiong Feng felt that his guess was more reasonable, and he spoke more confidently.

Long Yangyang gave Yueyao a meaningful look. She naturally did not miss the momentary unease Yueyao showed after hearing Xiong Feng's accusations.

However, when Long Yangyang saw that Aunt Yueqing and Fu Muheng were standing behind Yueyao, she knew their decision. Oh well, even if there was some concealment, it might not be as Xiong Feng casually said. She would just be careful.

"Xiong Feng, you can always find a pretext to accuse someone. If I said the zombie horde had nothing to do with me, would you believe me?" Yue Yao looked at Xiong Feng and the people behind him with sarcasm.

"The protective shields are gone; they were all used to protect against zombies. If you want a damaged one, I can give you one."

She promised Xiong Feng that she would destroy it completely, the kind of thing that couldn't be repaired.

As for an intact protective shield, forget about it. If she had known Xiong Feng and his group were like this, she should have secretly taken care of them while fighting the zombies.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Yueyao's eyes as she looked at Xiong Feng. As for the other group of people waiting to reap the benefits, Yueyao secretly made a mental note of them. Given the chance, she would definitely give them a good thrashing.
