Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 791 Infiltrating B City Base

Chapter 791: Chapter 791 Infiltrating B City Base

Han Zhimin’s mood had indeed been good these past few days, yet the always honest Wei Family suddenly acted as if they had taken the wrong medicine, launching two welfare programs out of the blue.

These two welfare programs were a significant blow to the influence of the Han Family; therefore, the Han Family healers, who had just relaxed, started treating Han Zhimin daily again.

The first welfare program of the Wei Family was the establishment of a trading hall under the name of the Wei Family. The hall allowed for the exchange of various Crystal Cores and even the trading of resources. Although the price of these resources was a bit higher than what had been rumored from Dragon Ruler, the price of 35 Crystal Cores per pound still made everyone in the base go crazy.

However, the Wei Family’s trading hall wasn’t open to everyone in B City base. For example, those under the Han Family’s influence were grandiosely excluded—without a Trading Card issued by the Wei Family, one simply couldn’t enter the trading hall.

This situation left all the Special Ability teams under the Han Family deeply frustrated. The reason they had joined the Han Family was the congregation of experts and the promise of a large supply of Crystal Cores for their advancement, including resources. But recently, they slowly realized that in the Apocalypse, the scarcest and most precious things weren’t Mutated Crystal Nuclei but the severely scarce resources.

At that time, the Wei Family introduced the second welfare program—they began recruiting Special Ability Users or teams willing to take on Wei Family tasks. This program was open to the entire B City base and anyone who passed the interview would receive a Trading Card for the Wei Family’s trading hall.

“Just having a Trading Card allows you to actually buy resources in their trading hall?”

“Hmph, you must be clueless. A friend of mine bought resources worth 100,000 Crystal Cores in the trading hall this morning—100,000 Crystal Cores!”

“My heavens, it’s no wonder the Wei Family, who controls the granaries, is so generous!”

“I still think it’s only temporary. Could it be that the Wei Family’s trading hall is just a short-term setup to attract talent, and they’ll close it after a while?”

“Forget it, opportunities are for those who are prepared. With your hesitations, you’ll never be able to buy resources.”

“That’s right, I’ve already signed up for the interview, just waiting for it to start. Resources are the real deal.”

Besides the unaffiliated Special Ability Users within B City base, many from the Han Family began stirring restlessly. Whenever they met, they would first glance around before stealthily asking or hinting in a roundabout way, “I heard *** signed up, is your team going?”

Although all this was just private exchanges among some individuals, it strangely spread throughout the Han Family, making some of the upper echelons worried about their position.

Was the Wei Family about to counterattack?

Meanwhile, in the residence of a team from B City base, Wei Yinghao was discussing the next steps of the plan with Lu Hao and the others.

“Many have already registered, including over 20 teams of various sizes from the Han Family that have recorded with us,” said Wei Yinghao with a smile.

Lu Hao nodded, “This is just the beginning.”

The Heart Talk Team had arrived in B City three days ago but didn’t enter the base directly. Instead, Lu Hao led Local Tyrant Gold and Mao Qiqi through the city gates to infiltrate B City base.

Upon entry, Qiqi was pleasantly surprised to detect Lian Jiyue’s presence. However, she also knew that rescuing Lian Jiyue wouldn’t be easy, so Lu Hao took her straight to Wei Junhao.

Raging, Wei Junhao could hardly believe his eyes—Lu Hao had actually arrived here!

Wang Liang had already relayed the news of Lian Jiyue’s capture to him. He was worried for the Heart Talk Team yet had no idea where to start. Lu Hao wasn’t alone; the majority of the Heart Talk Team had come, bringing with them a complete rescue plan, which stunned Uncle Wei Yinghao.

The rest of the Heart Talk Team had been sneaked in by Wei Yinghao using some means, and the Han Family hadn’t discovered this yet.

Lu Hao’s suggestion to use resources to leverage the Han Family was also something the Wei Family had always wanted to do. However, they lacked confidence because their supplies were limited. Despite their abundance of resources, they had to consider the long-term and didn’t dare to “release food” like the Heart Talk Team.

Only when the Heart Talk Team presented a startling amount of resources and even proposed long-term cooperation did Wei Yinghao decisively agree to the plan. This wasn’t a test for the Wei Family; it was an opportunity.

“We are only aiming to weaken the Han Family so that, while their vitality is severely damaged, we can rescue our comrades. To destroy the Han Family isn’t something that can be accomplished in one go,” Lu Hao explained honestly to Wei Yinghao before the plan commenced.

“You… want to destroy the Han Family?” Wei Yinghao was shocked, realizing that the Han Family had truly offended the Heart Talk Team.

“They’ve repeatedly plotted against us and even reached their hands into S City base. Don’t you wish the same?” Lu Hao asked with a smile.

“The Han Family’s influence in B City base is too great; our Wei Family still has no way to contend with them. The consequences are too severe to predict,” Wei Yinghao sighed. They had always dreamt of it, which is why they kept seeking “allies” from outside the base, including N City base, S City base…

“Then let’s start by gradually dissolving their power. Isn’t the Wei Family always known for being resource-rich? What do you think, would you like to collaborate with the Heart Talk Team?”

Wei Yinghao still couldn’t forget the look and expression in Lu Hao’s eyes when he said those words.

It was the gaze that made it seem as if the Han Family, towering over the B City base, was nothing in his eyes. It was the expression of a leopard that had closely set its sights on its prey, refusing to let go once it had bitten down.

Wei Wei was also in full support of Lu Hao’s plan. In an era ravaged by famine and disaster, what else could be more lethal to people than resources?

Moreover, the Heart Talk Team was willing to collaborate with the Wei Family for the long term, which reminded everyone of Dragon Ruler’s cooperation with F City. However, Lu Hao’s conditions were to act in the name of the Wei Family; even if this incident was resolved, they had no plans to reveal their status as the Wei Family’s supplier.

Naturally, Wei Yinghao agreed. Whether it was public or not didn’t matter much to their base; instead, it made the people of the base regard the Wei Family even more highly.

“Recently, our Wei Family’s threshold has almost been worn down,” Wei Junhao said as he walked in with Mu Yunle. Especially that boy Ou Wenxuan, he had managed to pull a lot of inexplicable connections, all of whom expressed their willingness to support the Wei Family.

The place where Lu Hao and the others were staying was located in an inconspicuous corner within B City base. Wei Yinghao originally wanted the Heart Talk Team to stay in the Wei Residence, but Lu Hao refused, so he found such a vacant house for them.
