Chapter 209: Night visit to Cloud Peak
The storage region was one of the few areas in Cloud Peak lit up.
An old man sat beside a table with a few candles and was reading a book.
Since he evolved, his eyesight has become much better. The moment he was free, he would read books. He would do so even at night.
He heard someone knock on the door. Lu Yi frowned. Although the evolution meant he wasn't as weak as a 65-year-old, he still didn't change his habits. He was still annoyed by people disturbing him at night.
The guy who entered was a 30-year-old young man. He held a short axe, and under the light, it shone grey.
“Xiang Tao, what is it?”
Lu Yi had a good impression of this young man who lived next door to him and worked at a company. At least when the apocalypse arrived, he was much calmer and more mature than people of his age. After he evolved, he became Lu Yi's good helper.
"Lu Yi, Jennings sent people over to trade some food."
Lu Yi controlled the storage region of Cloud Peak, and there were huge amounts of resources here. They were the only faction that didn't need to head out to find food, such that the outside world only thought that Cloud Peak only had three factions.
Because of that, Lu Yi and his men suffered no losses. But as they were made up of people who came here on holiday, they weren't very united.
"The price?" Lu Yi asked.
"One-star potion for 20 bags of rice, 50 cans, ten bags of salt, ten bottles of oil, and two boxes of noodles as well as 200 liters of water." n0velusb.c0m
Lu Yi frowned when he heard Xiang Tao's words. Jennings was the CEO of a multinational company. His company was having a meeting here when the apocalypse started, so they were trapped there. But there were many of them, so they controlled the situation and occupied the meeting region. They also found a wheel, and thus some of them evolved.
They were the strongest group of the four factions.
Lu Yi's faction was formed from the holiday goers, so there was a gap in strength. But after all, they managed to maintain a four-side standoff. Even if some were strong and some were weak, one could swallow another faction without one other faction eating them up. Thus, the situation was stabilized.
Lu Yi spent his whole life doing deals and was used to using interest to balance everything. He knew that the situation would break one day, and he needed to win before that day came.
Fortunately, he controlled the storage and had the resources the other three factions needed. Although he didn't have a wheel, the other factions would come to trade potions.
After all, apart from Jennings, there was also Wei Xiaoyong, whose faction was made up mostly of workers and controlled the worker area, and Xiao Dong, who controlled the hot springs villa area and was made up of an entertainment company's workers. They all had gachapons. If they didn't trade with him, other factions would.
Honestly, it didn't feel good to live within the cracks. One day the food would be used up; at that time, their strength would be exceeded by the other three factions, and they would die.
Lu Yi was thinking about a way out but didn't know. He was originally happy when he heard that Jennings was here to trade for some items. But when he listened to the price, he was unsatisfied.
Compared to a few days ago, this foreigner wanted too much this time.
"Jack, Zhang Ying, and Tai Zheng came; the rest are normal people."
Eh? Lu Yi looked at Xiang Tao.
"You mean..."
"Uncle Lu, we have ten evolved, Xiao Dong has 12, Wei Xiaoyong has 13, Jennings has 14. Half a month ago, we had the same number as them, but now the gap has opened up."
"If this continues, maybe they will work together to swallow us up next week."
"We need to do something. Today is a good chance."
"Kill Jack and cause Jenning's to reduce to 11. We are fighting ten against three, so there isn't a problem. We can also snatch a bottle of potion. After it ends, we will have 11 evolved and equal to their side. They can't do anything to us then."
Lu Yi rubbed the book's cover, and a moment later, he said, "And then? If we attack, that means that no one will trade with us ever again."
"We will be the same as them. We have to hunt. We have to take this path sooner or later. Since that is the case, why not use this chance? As for potion, as long as we have crystals, there is not only one wheel around Cloud Peak. We can pay some fees and either spin on their side or trade with them."
The old man closed his eyes. His fist clenched and then relaxed.
"Okay!"
.........................................................................................................
How easily Ye Zhongming entered Cloud Peak surprised him.
Outside Cloud Peak... There weren't any guards at all.
Maybe because the zombies and mutated lifeforms outside meant the survivors lacked the strength to deal with them.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming noticed a weird thing. There were many level-two mutated lifeforms and zombies. Why were they all here and not breaking through the wall that could only block normal zombies?
Did this...
Ye Zhongming had a few guesses, but it didn't stop his footsteps. He recalled that the place he wanted to find was below a villa. As for which exact one it was, he was not sure.
He came here in his last life and remembered the area. But the buildings changed from then to now, so he needed time to confirm.
After half an hour, he found the villa region, and on it wrote that this was the hot spring villa.
Ye Zhongming looked around and saw 20 of them. Did he have to search one by one?
When hesitating, he saw some light from a villa nearby. There was some laughter from within, and two smoking guards were at the door.
Ye Zhongming decided to take a look there first.
He walked over silently to avoid the sentries. He then climbed to the second floor. He looked around and found an unlocked window.
A nose-piercing smoke stench covered him and made him feel uncomfortable. The laughter got even clearer without the walls blocking, and he could also hear girls screaming and crying.
His eyes flashed.
From the sound, he could deduce they were on the first floor. He would get noticed if he went past them to the basement. Although he was unafraid of them, it would make things more problematic.
Ye Zhongming prepared to leave. Since there were so many here, he shall leave this to the last.
He returned along the original path. Right at that moment, there was a scream! A fiery aura passed through the second floor and charged near his feet!
