Chapter 137: Chapter 136: Should Madly Harvest Zombie EXP
Apparently, the white rice at Qingfeng Base was a huge draw for everyone from Red Leaf Base.
However, Lin Nan hadn’t forgotten what was important. He hurried over to Lu Feng and said, "Mr. Lu, I was wondering if you could first help treat our brothers who were injured by zombies!"
Lu Feng nodded. "Just a moment. I’m going into the base to get the special serum. Please wait here."
With that, he put on a show of walking toward the underground air-raid shelter, pretending to go get the special serum!
After entering the underground air-raid shelter, Lu Feng deliberately stayed inside for a while before taking the bottle of special serum out of his inventory space!
Then, he took out an empty bottle and poured in enough special serum to treat about fifty people.
’This way, I can spin a story to make myself look righteous, as if this is all I have and I’m using every last drop to treat the people from Red Leaf Base.’
A moment later, Lu Feng emerged from the air-raid shelter and returned to Zhuangyuan District above.
By then, Lin Jiao had already gathered the people injured by zombies and set up a police line.
Those injured by the zombies were now gathered inside it.
When Lu Feng emerged, the injured survivors from Red Leaf Base all turned to look at him, their faces filled with anticipation as color returned to their cheeks.
They all knew that this Mr. Lu’s special serum could neutralize the zombie virus; it was the cure that could save them.
Lu Feng walked up to the injured survivors and said to the first person, "Open your mouth."
The survivor immediately obeyed and opened his mouth.
Lu Feng poured a drop of the special serum into his mouth.
Almost instantly, the man felt much better.
He knew he was saved. ’It’s an incredible feeling.’
Lu Feng moved on to the second survivor, who also opened his mouth cooperatively.
One by one, Lu Feng poured the special serum into their mouths, and soon, he had treated all forty-plus people.
At the same time, he didn’t forget to remark, "This is all the special serum I had. Luckily, it was just enough to treat them."
As expected, his words made the injured survivors from Red Leaf Base look at him with immense gratitude.
Lu Feng noticed.
Lin Jiao noticed.
Chen Fei noticed too.
’Looks like they won’t be leaving now. They’ll definitely stay at Qingfeng Base.’
Lu Feng then gave an order to Lin Jiao, "Lin Jiao, assign residences to our brothers from Red Leaf Base."
"Yes, Boss!" Lin Jiao nodded and called over Guo Zhen to help her arrange accommodations for the survivors from Red Leaf Base.
Having delegated the task to his subordinates, Lu Feng paid no mind to the onlookers. Right there, in front of everyone, he simply willed himself out of the game.
This was, of course, intentional. ’To win over the people of Red Leaf Base, I need to awe them even more.’
Back in Zhuangyuan District, within Qingfeng Base, everyone from Red Leaf Base, including Lin Nan and Chen Fei, stared in utter shock at the spot where Lu Feng had just disappeared. Only the original members of Qingfeng Base remained unfazed.
’What did we just see?’
Mr. Lu had just vanished into thin air, leaving not a single trace behind.
Moreover, it wasn’t a matter of moving quickly. He had truly vanished, without so much as a shadow remaining.
The people of Qingfeng Base, of course, saw the astonished looks on the newcomers’ faces and couldn’t help but smirk. ’These guys are so easily amazed.’
’Guess they’re all stunned by the Boss’s power, huh?’
For some reason, seeing the newcomers’ expressions filled the people of Qingfeng Base with a sense of pride. It was a very strange feeling.
...
After returning to the real world, Lu Feng’s thoughts turned to the dense zombie horde at Red Leaf Base.
’It’s the first time I’ve ever seen so many zombies. It would be a huge waste not to farm all that experience.’
Therefore, he had to figure out a way to deal with all those zombies.
Lu Feng thought of Master Lin. He figured the man must have modified a good number of gas canisters by now. If he could get his hands on a bunch of them, he could at least blow up a portion of the horde.
With this in mind, Lu Feng called Yang Ming and told him he was planning to return to Youcheng.
Yang Ming immediately brought one of his men over, and they set off for Youcheng together.
This man was, of course, the driver.
Since there were three of them heading back to Youcheng, they didn’t need to take two cars.
Yang Ming took the passenger seat while Lu Feng sat in the back, a clear indication of their respective statuses.
The driver’s name was Chen Ming, and he was a little excited. After all, the reputation of President Lu, the man sitting behind him, was already widespread.
Everyone in Youcheng knew he was a big deal, but it wasn’t until he got to Tianzhou City that they realized he was on another level entirely.
Being able to drive for him and get some face time was an incredible opportunity for Chen Ming.
’I have to make the most of this,’ he thought.
’Plus, the fact that Brother Ming let me drive shows he wants to promote me. I have to do a good job.’
It was already evening by the time they arrived back in Youcheng.
Huang Chui had already arranged for a dinner at a restaurant and brought some of his men to welcome them.
The men under Yang Ming and Chen Bo who held any real status had already been summoned to Tianzhou City.
Therefore, the men left in Youcheng were either not high-ranking enough or were considered backups; they were all young guys.
These men would constantly ask Yang Ming and Chen Bo if they could be brought along to Tianzhou City.
But they weren’t qualified enough to be part of the official welcome for a big boss like Lu Feng.
That’s why Huang Chui had to be the one to do it.
Although Huang Chui had retired from the underworld, he still had the necessary status. His position was high enough, and he was someone Lu Feng had personally supported by acquiring a gym for him.
"Xiaofeng, Brother Ming, I’ve been waiting. The restaurant is all set up." Huang Chui was older than Yang Ming and had already retired from the scene, giving him the air of a respected elder brother. Lu Feng rather enjoyed being called Xiaofeng.
To be honest, aside from his older cousin, the way people like Da Fei, Ah Pao, and Brother Lin addressed him had changed.
Although he understood why, and he accepted it, he wasn’t the kind of person who stood on ceremony.
"Let’s go on up," Lu Feng finally said with a small sigh, heading into the restaurant.
Huang Chui had already booked a large hall in the restaurant. Inside, several tables were filled with people from their own circle, as well as some well-known figures from Youcheng’s underworld.
Naturally, these people were all here as part of the entourage—to create what is commonly known as a grand spectacle.
The most important goal was to make sure everyone remembered Lu Feng’s face. That way, if they ran into him in the future, they would be respectful and avoid any accidental offense.
This would prevent the classic cliché from happening—the one where the successful protagonist gets offended by some nobody who, even after hearing his name, refuses to believe it’s him and says something like, "If you’re him, then I’m the Jade Emperor."
After tonight’s dinner, with all these people having seen Lu Feng in person, that kind of clueless idiot shouldn’t be appearing in Youcheng anymore.
Sure enough, as Lu Feng entered, all eyes in the room turned to him.
They all knew who this grand reception was for.
So, as Lu Feng walked in, regardless of whether they knew him or not, their first instinct was to memorize his face.
As Lu Feng looked around, he was surprised to see one particular person: Ah Ji, the boxer he had knocked out with a single punch. ’What’s he doing here?’
’Didn’t he work for He Jin?’
Huang Chui seemed to sense Lu Feng’s confusion and quickly explained, "He Jin was arrested. His whole online scheme got exposed. One of his subordinates got drunk, acted too arrogantly, and left a trail for the authorities to follow. Now, He Jin’s short-video account has been banned. Ah Ji here wanted a spot at the gym, and he has real talent, so I brought him over."
Ah Ji, for his part, knew what to do. He immediately stood up and respectfully called out to Lu Feng, "President Lu, welcome back to Youcheng."
