Chapter 456: Chapter 456 Chen Daming
The news of someone selling supplies in the industrial park spread like wildfire. It could be due to Cai Jianbin’s team spreading the word these past two days, or it might be the result of many teams sharing the information among themselves. Even the people inside the A City base had heard.
“Who exactly are this Zhang Xiaohong and Chen Daming! How come they have supplies?!”
The Base Leader of A City’s base, Jiao Hong, looked at the person coming to report and asked.
“We don’t know either, but people say that they used to be rural folks and had run a grain and oil market; probably that’s why they have supplies,” replied Pang Yongkang, who came to report.
Regarding those few people, they only glanced at them while pretending to buy supplies. Those people looked very ordinary and seemed to have no special talents to speak of, totaling just seven or eight individuals.
“Selling supplies so cheaply? No wonder these past few days, everyone who could run out of the base has gone,” Jiao Hong said angrily, looking at the price list brought back by Pang Yongkang. If everyone in this base ran away, how was he supposed to remain the Base Leader?!
“Liu Mu, take a few people with you tomorrow and invite them over for me, tell them the base officially wants to buy their supplies,” Jiao Hong ordered to someone behind him.
However, the next afternoon when Liu Mu returned, he reported, “Zhang Xiaohong and the others are not willing to come over. They suggest that you go to the trading location with Crystal Cores and a Space Element Ability User instead.”
Smack!
Jiao Hong, angered, slammed his hand on the table. They had some nerve!
On the third day, Jiao Hong sent 50 Special Ability Users, intending to use force to bring Zhang Xiaohong and the seven others back to the base, but they were beat up by the teams buying supplies at the trading site and sent packing…
On the fourth day, Liu Mu led more than a hundred Special Ability Users in a defection from the A City base. It was said that he not only bought a large amount of supplies from Zhang Xiaohong with the Crystal Cores he took with him, but he also established camp in the industrial park.
Once this news got out, the A City base had no more allure for the survivors of A City. Even as Jiao Hong began to open the granaries and allowed trading supplies with Crystal Cores, he still couldn’t stop those who wanted to go to the industrial park.
After all, whereas Zhang Xiaohong and the others were selling food for 30 Crystal Cores a kilo, Jiao Hong was charging 500 Crystal Cores a kilo.
Gradually, the industrial park became incredibly bustling, with the survivors of A City gathering here.
This place was extremely safe; three five-story wide buildings were enough to accommodate ten thousand people. The survivors who set up camp here not only reinforced and heightened the original walls of the industrial park, but they also supplied the whole area with water and electricity, although electricity was only available for two hours each day.
The industrial park, once known as a den of zombies, had become the place with the highest concentration of survivors in A City, all because Zhang Xiaohong and others were selling supplies. Everyone began to call it the new base.
After living in the industrial park for a few days, the survivors found that it was not only safe and warm but also free from the suddenly appearing mutated plants, making it much better than the desolate A City base.
“Tsk tsk, girl, it seems like we’ve done something extraordinary without realizing it,” Nie Qing said, standing in their rest room.
“Yeah, Zhang Xiaohong has become famous,” Su Jin also said helplessly. Changing the situation for the survivors of A City wasn’t her intention.
“This is a good thing,” said Lu Hao. Just like the survivors said, Zhang Xiaohong had saved them.
But such a concentration of people also attracted a fierce Zombie Tide. Su Jin, who was in the Space, saw Cai Jianbin and others knocking at the door. She immediately left the Space with her family.
“Xiaohong! The Zombie Tide is coming, make sure you’re safe in the park. Everyone is already fighting the zombies,” Cai Jianbin said before hurriedly leading people down the building. This was their own base; they couldn’t allow it to be breached by zombies!
However, Su Jin and the others didn’t wait in the house. Instead, they joined the group of Special Ability Users fighting the Zombie Tide.
Within the walls of the park, the Earth Element Ability Users had constructed a layer of earthen platforms from which Special Ability Users could stand and attack the outside. The platforms were crowded with Special Ability Users unleashing their powers, with Su Jin and her companions also ascending to observe the situation outside.
“Doesn’t seem like there’s too many?”
