Under the perception of telekinesis, the vast warehouse was stacked with crystal core resembling small mountains.
The crystal core were divided by levels. Looking around, there were roughly ten stacks of first-level crystal core, about five stacks of second-level ones, three stacks of third-level, and two stacks of fourth-level.
There were no crystal core beyond that.
Presumably, Wu Lin had taken them all away himself.
After all, the number of lower-level crystal core here was just too substantial to take everything.
Xiao Feng approached a stack of first-level crystal core.
He lightly placed his hand on the crystal core.
The system immediately sensed the energy from this stack of crystal core.
This stack of crystal corecould probably exchange for two hundred thousand energy units.
Ten stacks would be... two million!
This unexpected windfall left Xiao Feng ecstatic.
Converting all the crystal core into energy, Xiao Feng harvested a whopping eight million units of energy.
Apart from energy, Xiao Feng also noticed neatly arranged large boxes in the corner.
Opening all these boxes, Xiao Feng’s breath became hurried.
Inside the boxes were various precious parts of exotic beasts.
There were also some special materials like certain minerals and even fruits and seeds of mutated plants.
The system provided substantial valuations for every item here.
For instance, the pair of mutated ivory in Xiao Feng’s hands, over a meter long and jade-like, was valued by the system at three million energy units, indicating its immense worth.
Collecting everything into his possession, Xiao Feng returned this time with a full load.
"Meow!"
At that moment, in the darkness, a pair of shiny green eyes slowly approached.
Xiao Feng picked up the black cat and excitedly planted a kiss on its face.
Additionally, Xiao Feng saw a collection of antique gold and diamonds.
"It seems that I’m not the only one who understands the value of these items!"
Satisfied with collecting everything here, Xiao Feng prepared to leave.
"Meow!"
However, the black cat suddenly grabbed and tugged at Xiao Feng’s pants.
"What’s wrong? Is there something else?" Xiao Feng followed the cat, puzzled.
Sure enough, in a corner, there was another box.
Upon opening it, Xiao Feng was surprised to find it filled with bee pupae!
"These are... bee pupae?"
Xiao Feng immediately used the system to check the properties of this item.
Mutant bee pupae: Can be cultivated into mutant bees.
It was a simple introduction but made Xiao Feng feel like he had stumbled upon a treasure trove.
Bees can produce honey.
Honey has versatile uses in food materials.
Xiao Feng believed it would unlock new recipes in the future, like honey-fried chicken and more.
After collecting these bee pupae, Xiao Feng planned to give them to Mr. Gao.
Since the apocalypse, bees had also mutated, becoming highly aggressive.
Obtaining honey had become challenging.
Pure mutant wild bee honey could only be found in deep, remote forests.
These were places unreachable for ordinary people, even for evolved individuals.
With a fruitful harvest, Xiao Feng happily stepped outside.
However, when Xiao Feng arrived outside, the survivors had divided into two factions.
One group stood behind Wang Qiang and others, totaling about a hundred people.
The remaining few thousand survivors stayed in their original positions.
It seemed they had no intention of joining Xiao Feng.
However, Xiao Feng didn’t mind because he knew he couldn’t protect any more people; the space in the restaurant was limited.
If he placed them outside the restaurant, their safety couldn’t be guaranteed.
"Alright, take these people. Occupy the most valuable and useful things here for us!" Xiao Feng instructed Wang Qiang.
This vast shelter had some things that couldn’t be taken away, so they had to regretfully leave them for Shelter No 1.
Immediately, a large group began to move, leaving the rest of the survivors in their original location.
"Boss, with just us, we won’t be able to take more things before Shelter No 1 arrives!" Wang Qiang lamented to Xiao Feng.
"True, but we only have this number of people. There’s nothing we can do!" Xiao Feng sighed.
"I have a plan!" Wang Qiang smiled and glanced at the remaining few thousand survivors.
"You mean, get them to help?"
"Exactly!" Wang Qiang explained.
"They’re just ordinary people who can’t even solve their basic needs here. If we provide them with enough incentives, they can help us find more valuable items!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng’s eyes lit up.
But what could possibly entice these ordinary people?
Crystals? Food?
None of those.
Because once Shelter No 1 arrives, everything they have will be confiscated. It’s inevitable. They won’t get anything then.
"Got it!"
Xiao Feng’s eyes brightened, and he shouted loudly to everyone, "Since you don’t want to join us, I won’t force you. Now, if you help us find all the valuable items in this shelter, I’ll give you a good reward!"
Hearing this, everyone remained indifferent.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng wasn’t worried. He continued, "Food, crystals, these things will all be confiscated once the people from Shelter No 1 arrive. But if you can help me find things of equivalent value, I can make you evolved individuals. Then, when you join Shelter No 1, you’ll also have a decent job!"
Indeed, upon hearing this, the crowd below began to stir.
"We’ve been living here for so long; we know everything about this place. Opportunities are limited; it’s first come, first served!"
Xiao Feng rallied them.
The crowd below began to move, rushing toward Xiao Feng.
"I know! I know!"
"I know too! I’ll show you where to find things!"
"And me, I know where they keep the food!"
Seeing this, Xiao Feng smiled.
With their help, he turned the entire shelter alliance upside down. All the energy-rich items were absorbed by Xiao Feng. Even the food was packed into the system’s backpack.
Unable to take everything, Xiao Feng ordered trucks to transport the remaining items back.
After Xiao Feng plundered all the shelter’s resources, the people from Shelter No 1 arrived late.
The one in charge was Commander Lu Zhenhua from the Military Operations Department.
"Mr. Xiao, long time no see!"
Lu Zhenhua walked over with a smile on his face.
"Commander Lu, long time indeed!"
Xiao Feng walked over and shook hands with Lu Zhenhua.
