"The hell is wrong with you? How many people are inside that shelter hiding and making keep making things out for you?" Dan Mi complained in his mind. From Meteorite Battery to serums, upgraded Rhinos, and now the significant Luna II device?
Even top tier gangs like Xicheng Base only have over 200 of them, after trying their best to refurbish and creating lousy replacement parts to make it usable.
At least in the whole Changyang City, no gangs are capable of recreating a Luna II or a replacement product.
Zhang Qin Feng smiled. He's doing that on purpose to enjoy the reaction shown by Dan Mi.
"Toot! Boss... We're back," the two units sent out to clear their surroundings finally returned. There are only thirty minutes left to 12am.
"Great job. Let me... Urgh!" the urge to vomit suddenly came to Zhang Qin Feng. It was the counter-reaction from using the Gene Enhancer this morning.
Next, fever appeared on him, with his body temperature explodes to 41 degrees celsius in a flash. Red bumps pop up along his arms, with his throat is in thirst for water.
"What happened, boss?" Dan Mi noticed Zhang Qin Feng's sudden changes. It happened so quick that he did not have enough time to react.
"I'm fine. Take me back to the store," Zhang Qin Feng said. Lethargy strikes his body, turning him into a limp. But that's all the side effects happens to his body.
Once he entered the General Store, Zhang Qin Feng injected all available Recovery Serum into his body. Side effects and recovery fought against each other, and the war continued until Zhang Qin Feng collapsed on the ground.
...
When he wakes up the next morning, it's already 10am.
The side effect caused by Gene Enhancer is actually this potent! If it's not because Dan Mi is by his side, won't he get stranded in the apocalypse when the timer ends?
But in exchange for those suffering, his body gets resculpted.
He's now 2cm taller, with a broader shoulder. Muscle pops out on his chest and belly, almost ripping the T-Shirt he's wearing.
He grabbed the can of Silver Bull and down it. Using pure finger strength alone, Zhang Qin Feng pressed the top and bottom together until it ended up as a flat piece of aluminum.
"D*mn! I got strong by this much!" Zhang Qin Feng stretched his body in front of the mirror. And at the same time, drooling on his own perfect abs and body.
"I guess I have to go to the nearest village and check if they got a clothing store. I'll get something to wear before coming back to the store." Zhang Qin Feng grabbed the car key and made his way outside.
But that's after he tapped twice on the choice to manufacturing the RHINOS, Gene Enhancer, Battery Bank Module, and a few munitions.
...
...
"Report!" the first exploration unit came back.
Although Zhang Qin Feng's absence demotivates them slightly, everyone knows that as the boss of this base, he must be quite busy handling other matters.
There's the matter with food, supplies, with the shockingly remodeled RHINOS. If their boss is idling, where did he get them out in production?
"Go ahead." Dan Bao replied. After he hears the bad news about Zhang Qin Feng's sudden discomfort, it troubles him hugely. At this moment, Zhang Qin Feng can be said to be a standing tree he's looking up to, relies, and depending on.
"The streets leading to Zone 13 and 17 is cleared. The only problem we have is the large debris down south, but we've cleared a destroyed building and created another path south."
"And no threats found in our zone. We've cleared the Walking Dead and the only Carrier loitering around. And we've found this." the leader of the 2nd unit reported his part, and brought back a damaged but complete piece of technology.
"You're doing a great job! If our boss managed to reverse-engineer this piece of tech..." Dan Bao grabbed the tech and placed it on his right wrist.
He's trying to grab the feeling of how the soldier from the doomed Tianxia Nation fought against the Capital Tyrant. But before he can catch the essence from this imagination, someone knocked on the door leading into his office.
"Commander! The sensor from Rhinos caught a team of around 35 soldiers on our western wall!" the soldier reported everything without daring to miss a part of it.
"Any idea from which force are they?" Dan Bao asked. His other hand pointed at the two team leaders. As his subordinates right before everyone pledge loyalty to Zhang Qin Feng, both leaders know what that sign meant.
"It... It should be people from Xicheng Base!" that word hugely agitates everyone present inside this room.
"There's wine on the table to drink, but you just have to take the hardest bone to bite!" Dan Bao slammed his fist on the table. As a previous boss to Blood Wolf Gang, how can he have a mediocre strength?
He's someone with two ampoules worth of Genetic Enhancer! If he wanted to, the steel table before him is not an issue for him to wreck it into a pile of waste!
"Move two more RHINOS to the western wall, and wait for them to open fire! I hope they did because I believe our people are itchy to try the new Rhinos ammunition!" Dan Bao said.
"ROAR!" those still in this office howled.
...
...
"Thank you." Zhang Qin Feng changed into a much better piece of a suit before he returned to his car. But when he started the ignition, a phone call came in.
[Yue Qiang]
"I think big brother Qiang is worried because I'm out of touch close to 3 days." Zhang Qin Feng answered the call. Due to living in two different worlds, Zhang Qin Feng sometimes lost track of his time. It's actually Wednesday right now.
"Big brother," Zhang Qin Feng answered the call.
"Have you received the contract? Our construction is going to start today, and it's expected to complete by the end of next week. I hope you won't mind me paying them double wages on two weekends to speed up the construction," Yue Qiang said.
In his opinion, the earlier the construction of buildings is completed, the faster they can start the mining process. And in comparison, paying close to 100,000 for 50 workers are small expenses compared to the profit from a single day in mining.
"Big brother, I'm not experienced in these matters, so I'll respect every decision you made to make sure our profit. Go ahead, I believe in your eyesight." Zhang Qin Feng convinced Yue Qiang to handle as he sees fit.
"Alright! Let big brother handle them. It's a troublesome task to report to three people before we can decide on something. And there's something else big brother needs your help," Yue Qiang brought up the next subject he's going to discuss with Zhang Qin Feng.
"How many kilograms of gold can you get at the end of next week? Big brother needs around 20 to 50kilograms of gold this time." Yue Qiang said. His need for gold is getting bigger and bigger.
"I'll do my best to collect 50kg for you. I'll be in touch with you next weekend." Zhang Qin Feng did not think about it too much before he agreed to Yue Qiang's request. The two continue talking for a while before they bid farewell through the phone.
"I'll have to quickly get back. There are still a few things to be done before the transfer." Zhang Qin Feng drives a little faster back to his store.
While at the same time, Yue Qiang gently puts his phone down and stares at Yue Han, who's seated across him.
"Even 50kilograms is not an issue for him?" Yue Han asked. The brothers are involved in the shady business, so the need for gold is not a secret between them.
"So... Should we let him know about our gold business?" Yue Han asked. To them, the fewer people know about this business, the better. But no matter what, Zhang Qin Feng is their biggest supplier for gold right now, and he might ask about it when he no longer able to hold the curiosity.
"Let's tell him the truth. Based on his habit, our younger brother loves to come here on Saturday before he goes back to his parent's side. If we get familiar with all of them, I'm sure he will understand..."
Yue Qiang answered.
They're both convinced that this is the best measure.
