After listening to Grace, Waldo raised an eyebrow.
Is that all you have to say?
Grace was momentarily stunned, unable to understand his expression.
Yes, that's all.
Waldo smiled broadly at this point.
If that's your confidence in recruiting me, then I'll pass.
You should know that since I can offer thousands of essential supplies to buy fortifications and even provide precious food and drinks to entertain you, do you think I need to join your team?
Grace was speechless.
So, don't waste your time on me.
Let's consider ourselves neighbors. Please accept this small gift. If there's nothing else, please leave.
Waldo took out twenty portions of essential supplies from his backpack and handed them over.
Grace looked at the extra twenty portions in the backpack, dumbfounded.
She didn't expect Waldo to be so generous.
A hundred portions of supplies given casually to a stranger they just met.
Grace's eyes shifted, and she sat down next to Waldo, intentionally or unintentionally pressing against his arm and lightly rubbing it, showing a bashful expression.
You're so generous, it's embarrassing. How about letting Grace accompany you?
Grace reached out her hand and tentatively moved it downward.
However, Waldo grabbed her hand and smiled, saying, "Honestly, I'm not interested in you. Don't push me to change my mind, okay?"
Grace looked at Waldo, who was smiling, with narrowed eyes but couldn't sense any hostility.
But she had a strong feeling.
If she continued to provoke, she might really lose her life.
Grace sheepishly withdrew her hand and sat up straight.
Don't be angry, big brother. I was just joking with you. Waldo moved her hand away and chuckled, saying, "It's fine. Please go back. I hope we can live harmoniously as neighbors."
After seeing Grace out of the fortifications, Waldo called for Alanna to come downstairs.
Alanna's eyes were filled with confusion and doubt as she asked, "Waldo, why did you give them supplies? Even if we have plenty of resources, we shouldn't waste them like this!"
Waldo chuckled lightly and said, "You don't understand. Believe it or not, by tomorrow at the latest, even tonight, their team will undoubtedly be unable to restrain themselves and come after us!"
Alanna exclaimed and then muttered, "So, you gave them supplies, exposing our resource reserves even more, making them want to plunder even more?"
Or, do you want them to be well-fed before they come and attack us?
I want to give them supplies!
Waldo anticipated Alanna's doubts and patiently explained, "Before this, they saw us take the gold-level blueprint with just two people, so they must have had ulterior motives but couldn't be sure about our specific situation, so they didn't dare to act recklessly."
Sending this woman today was a false recruitment, while the true intention was to gather information about us!
Seeing Alanna lost in thought, Waldo continued, "By giving them supplies, I want them to know that we have plenty of resources, making it irresistible for them. Then we'll use their own plans against them."
Moreover, I'm certain that they haven't exposed my information. They see us as easy targets and won't let others get involved.
Alanna understood everything and asked, "So what's your plan?"
Waldo took out combat supplies from his backpack.
Molotov cocktails, iron traps, a large number of crossbow arrows, daggers, and a P92 handgun.
After organizing them, Waldo said, "I plan to set up various traps within the fortifications. When they come, they'll be trapped and unable to escape!"
Heh, they dare to think about us. They must be tired of living.
Alanna looked at Waldo, who seemed to have everything under control, and couldn't help but smile.
So, is there anything I can do to help?
Waldo handed her a few traps and instructed, "Since Dr. Alanna volunteered, take these traps and place them in the corners of the wall. Cover them up with something. Consider it an appetizer for them."
Alanna took them obediently and said, "Okay, I'll go set them up now."
After speaking, she walked into the villa's yard and carefully arranged the traps in the corner.
On the other side.
Grace had already returned to her shelter, handed over the supplies, and informed Tommy about what she had gathered.
Tommy sat on the sofa in the center of the villa's living room, supporting his chin with his hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
I didn't expect this 10086 to have so many resources.
It seems that he has a solid foundation, and he hasn't faced any survival difficulties since participating in the auction.
Tommy couldn't contain his restless heart any longer and wanted to launch a surprise attack tonight, seizing all of Waldo's resources, including that gold-level fortified wall.
As if reading his mind, one of his subordinates spoke up, "Boss, there's no need to hesitate! You heard the intelligence Grace just provided. The resources this 10086 has are enough for our team to live well for a long time! Besides, if we wait a few more days, who knows when other groups will arrive in this villa area."
The other teammates agreed.
That's right, boss. This 10086 not only gifted us twenty portions of supplies, but he also has at least a few hundred more on him!
Grace chimed in, "Tommy, time is of the essence. Let's strike tonight while it's dark and windy! While 10086 has let his guard down against us, we'll catch him off guard!"
Tommy took out a crossbow arrow and slammed it on the table, saying fiercely, "Let's do it! Tonight, we'll raid 10086's lair directly!"
The crowd began to cheer.
Boss is mighty!!
Tommy also started to imagine the fruits of victory tonight, laughing uproariously.
Waldo wiped the sweat off his forehead, looked at the traps set up inside and outside the villa's yard, placed his hands on his waist, and sneered, "This time, let's be farmers waiting for rabbits."
In the apocalypse, human nature is the most terrifying.
It's not that Waldo is cruel, but in this post-apocalyptic world, having such a significant threat around him makes it hard to sleep peacefully.
In certain critical moments, that group of people could become a sharp blade aimed at him.
Therefore, when Waldo realized their sinister intentions, he had to strike first, completely eliminating them!
