When Bai Zhan left, the words he told Xiao Feng remained fresh in Xiao Feng’s memory.
The unification of Yu Lin City is inevitable.
This is a trend that is inevitable.
If you keep up with the trend, you’ll thrive.
There’s a saying: "Stand at the forefront of history, and even a pig can fly."
Zhang Lei’s choice was indeed a correct one.
If you can’t be a wise ruler, be a valiant general.
...
...
After lunch, Xiao Feng’s phone rang again.
"Boss, there are people coming from outside the city!"
"Can you see who they are?"
"It seems like... people from Shelter No 1!"
Before long, this group arrived at the restaurant’s entrance.
These individuals were armed and fully equipped; judging by their gear, they seemed to be formal military personnel.
"Hello! I’m the current Military Operations Director of Shelter No 1!"
An armored vehicle stopped at the entrance, and a middle-aged man in lightweight combat attire approached.
The man was composed and stern, exuding an aura of authority.
"This person, back in peacetime, was definitely a high-ranking official, most likely within the military!"
At a glance, Xiao Feng saw the extraordinary background of this individual.
A sense of authority overwhelmed him; if it were an ordinary person, they would feel immediately suppressed.
However, Xiao Feng, now possessing the Dragon Head Clever, symbolizing power, immediately countered the imposing aura.
"Another Military Operations Director?"
Xiao Feng sneered.
Maintaining a calm demeanor.
"So, how many Military Operations Directors do you have in Shelter No 1?"
"Hmm?"
The man furrowed his brows, feeling greatly surprised internally.
"Calm and collected, not submissive, such a strong presence. Even I feel somewhat suppressed!"
"Oh? Have you met the other Military Operations Directors from our side?"
The middle-aged man composed himself and immediately retorted.
"Some time ago, didn’t you have a Military Operations Director leading the siege in the city area? Unfortunately, he was turned into an ice stick by Bai Zhi from Shelter No 9, then smashed into smithereens. Not a hair remained!"
Xiao Feng lamented with a hint of mock sorrow.
"It seems like he was a Level 5 Evolver at that time, what a pity!"
"What? Zhao Tianling was killed by someone from Shelter No 9?"
The middle-aged man frowned slightly and murmured.
"You didn’t know?"
Xiao Feng pretended to be puzzled.
"Shelter No 9, what a place! This time, I’ll make sure you won’t get away with it!"
The middle-aged man said fiercely.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but shrink his neck: "Wow, fortunately, I pushed that onto them. Otherwise, if it’s known, it’d be in real trouble!"
"Alright, let’s not talk about this. Those people were really something, bullying you alone with seven or eight!"
Xiao Feng quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, I see the situation doesn’t look good for you now. What are you here for at this time?"
Xiao Feng asked with confusion.
"This visit is at Captain Bai Zhan’s behest. He said there’s someone here who can help us!"
The middle-aged man immediately explained.
"Help you?"
Xiao Feng was puzzled at first, then immediately understood.
This was business recommended by Bai Zhan!
"Bai Zhan did indeed come here before, and he invited me to go to the Qingyun Province base with him, but it was declined!"
Xiao Feng explained.
"But since he recommended you to come here, I guess you should know the situation here!"
Whether it was the grudge with Zhang Guotao or Zhao Tianling, Shelter No 1 was well aware of Xiao Feng’s circumstances. The current crisis of Shelter No 1 temporarily set aside their grudges against Xiao Feng. And Xiao Feng wasn’t the type to hold grudges.
If you hold grudges, business would be impossible.
"Come! Let me give you a brief introduction to the dishes in our restaurant!"
Xiao Feng warmly led the director inside.
"Sorry, we’re not here to dine!"
The middle-aged man rejected Xiao Feng’s invitation outright.
"Hehe, once you’ve eaten, you’ll know how I can help you!"
The middle-aged man walked in with curiosity.
This time, Xiao Feng didn’t let them dine in the restaurant’s lobby but took them to a private room on the second floor.
"Take a look. What do you need? Food wise?"
The middle-aged man reluctantly took the menu and glanced at it, then randomly picked a few signature dishes.
Not long after, the waiter arrived at the private room with delicious dishes.
"Try them!"
The middle-aged man, with a curious expression, lifted his chopsticks and started eating.
In the next moment, the man’s face changed, looking at Xiao Feng incredulously: "These dishes can actually restore energy!"
Xiao Feng didn’t answer, indicating him to continue eating.
After this man had tasted all the dishes he ordered, he was amazed by each one.
"I understand now, I understand!"
The middle-aged man suddenly realized.
"Captain Bai Zhan wants me to purchase dishes from you to support our army!"
"Smart!"
Xiao Feng immediately snapped his fingers.
Talking to smart people was so easy and comfortable.
"However..."
Then, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows.
He looked at the prices on the menu, looking a bit troubled.
"I don’t know if Bai Zhan told you about our situation here?"
Xiao Feng asked.
"No, Captain Bai Zhan just asked me to come here, without saying much else!"
The middle-aged man shook his head.
"Here’s the thing..."
Then, Xiao Feng informed the middle-aged man about the shortage of ingredients in the restaurant.
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, the middle-aged man immediately said with joy, "Is that all?"
"Could it be... you have a solution?"
Xiao Feng asked excitedly.
"In the underground storage of our air-raid shelter, there is a large supply of the ingredients you need, such as the Razorback Goats and the Bloodfang Boars!"
"No wonder the Razorback Goats are so scarce now. It turns out you’ve been hunting and storing them!"
Xiao Feng said with a bitter smile.
"Hehe, below the air-raid shelter is a natural storage, where there are at least over three hundred thousand Razorback Goats and over a hundred thousand Bloodfang Boars stored!"
Hearing this number, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air.
"With these ingredients, things will be easy!"
"In addition, we have developed breeding techniques for these mutated livestock!"
The middle-aged man explained.
"Previously, our breeding base was suddenly attacked by other shelters, causing the original breeding base to be destroyed. If we can stabilize as soon as possible, the breeding facility will be reactivated. By then, there will be a continuous supply of ingredients for you!"
"Awesome! Impressive!"
Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
