I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 178: Chapter 163: A Good Method! Equipment for 1000 People

Zheng Lin knew that if they wanted to kill him, he would have to fight for his own life, even if it meant betraying the Li Family.

After all, he and the Li Family were just using each other.

He wasn’t a member of the Li Family. The Li Family needed ability users to serve them, and he needed the Li Family’s resources.

"A way to keep the Li Family in check, and even get something out of them? Do tell!" Lu Feng looked at Zheng Lin in surprise.

He’d just been wondering how to make use of this guy, and now the man had served himself up on a platter.

Zheng Lin brightened upon hearing Lu Feng’s words.

’This means there’s still room to negotiate.’

He immediately said, "When I go back, I can report to the Li Family that the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps fell into internal conflict over ideological differences and that Gray Wolf lost control."

"So, I recruited some members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps to help me take out Gray Wolf. The members I won over now control the corps, and their base has been renamed Qingfeng Base."

"I’ll tell the Li Family that Qingfeng Base is willing to remain subordinate to them and will help them find that Salvation Army squad."

"At the same time, I can con the Li Family into sending a shipment of food to your base."

He heavily emphasized the word "food." After all, in the apocalypse, food was the most important resource, and he believed the people of Qingfeng Base would certainly need it.

Lu Feng was a little surprised to hear this.

’This guy is pretty sharp.’

’To think he came up with such a perfect cover story.’

Crucially, he wasn’t afraid of the man pulling any tricks. After all, a Pulse-Splitter Chip was already implanted in his head.

With that in mind, Lu Feng instructed Lin Jiao, "Lin Jiao, have the kitchen prepare a fine meal. We must treat Mr. Zheng Lin well. He helped us eliminate Gray Wolf and establish Qingfeng Base. He’s our benefactor!"

"Yes, Boss!" Lin Jiao giggled, playing along with Lu Feng.

"..." Zheng Lin watched the two of them, the corner of his mouth twitching.

’They really got into their roles fast, didn’t they?’

Still, he offered a warning. "If the other three also have Pulse-Splitter Chips implanted, you’d better not let them return with me. The factions in the City East Alliance have devices specifically for detecting things like that."

"I don’t know if the Pulse-Splitter Chip can be detected, but Lin Gou and the other two will definitely be scanned if they go back."

Lu Feng asked quizzically, "Then what about you?"

Zheng Lin sounded somewhat proud as he replied, "I’m an ability user, so I have special privileges. Besides, even if I get scanned, I have ways to avoid detection."

Lu Feng nodded, then turned to Guo Zhen behind him. "In that case, the other three will be staying with us as guests. Indefinitely!"

Guo Zhen immediately nodded. "Yes, Boss!"

Lin Jiao quickly relayed the orders. A lavish meal was prepared to entertain Zheng Lin, and afterward, he was allowed to depart for the City East Alliance.

As Zheng Lin left, Lu Feng’s eyes remained fixed on the dot representing Zheng Lin on the control device.

With a single press of a button on the control device, he could end Zheng Lin’s life whenever he wished.

By the same token, if Zheng Lin tried to remove the Pulse-Splitter Chip himself, it would automatically activate, killing him instantly.

With the matter of Qingfeng Base settled, Lu Feng logged out of the game.

Outside, it was already the dead of night.

The sounds of men and women, along with the protesting creak of bedframes, drifted up from downstairs. It wasn’t just one set of sounds, but a tangled chorus.

He could only mutter that Black Snake and his crew were animals.

Then, his attention was drawn back to the luminous screen in his mind and the notifications that were constantly popping up:

[Congratulations! You have killed a Mutated Zombie and gained 10 EXP!]

[Congratulations! You have killed a Mutated Zombie and gained 10 EXP!]

...

[Congratulations! You have killed a Mutated Zombie and gained 5 EXP!]

[Congratulations! You have killed a Mutated Zombie and gained 15 EXP!]

...

He noticed that among the notifications, one surprisingly showed a normal zombie yielding 15 experience points.

It wasn’t a lot, but it proved that even normal zombies were getting stronger.

Next, he shifted his perspective back toward Red Leaf Base.

The mechanical trap was still running, killing one zombie after another.

The surrounding area was also littered with the corpses of Mutant Beasts.

After all, the base was making a huge racket, using large loudspeakers to lure in zombies, so it was inevitable that some Mutant Beasts would be drawn in as well.

The wounds indicated they were caused by lasers, meaning Chen Lin had killed these Mutant Beasts with his Mecha’s weapons.

Outside Red Leaf Base, the ceaseless slaughter had clearly thinned the zombie horde. It wouldn’t be long before the horde was completely wiped out.

When that happened, he would need Lin Jiao to lead a team to the surrounding areas and lure in more zombies.

「The next day.」

When Lu Feng woke up, Black Snake, Hadona, Red Scorpion, and their men were already awake, though all of them looked a bit drained.

’They must have expended too much energy last night.’

Seeing this, Lu Feng started to wonder if the Kudar Clan’s business of providing these women had a secondary purpose.

’After all, if these men spent all night fooling around, they’d be in poor condition. If something were to happen, they’d be much easier to deal with, wouldn’t they?’

Of course, that was just him being cynical. The Kudar Clan surely wouldn’t have such a petty scheme.

Black Snake and his men all greeted Lu Feng.

Before long, people from the Kudar Clan arrived.

A heavily tattooed brute arrived with several armed men.

The tattooed brute introduced himself upon arrival. "Gentlemen, I’m Hata. Since this is our first deal, I’m here to get an understanding of your situation. First off, I need to know the quantity of weapons you’re looking to trade so I can file my report."

’So this was the screening process.’

The Kudar Clan would first send someone to gauge a potential client’s needs and the size of the deal, then dispatch the appropriate personnel to handle the reception.
