Chapter Ninety-Two: Keep Digging the Pit

Thanks to this, Fang Xia took advantage of the situation and gathered supplies recklessly for a full week.

That was how he came to live so comfortably now.

After breakfast, Fang Xia left his territory alone.

He went once more to Guo Yu’s home.

As for Guo Yu, Fang Xia trusted him completely. At any time, from the depths of his heart, there was only respect for Fang Xia.

"Brother Fang, I’ll do whatever you say."

After briefly explaining the situation, Guo Yu immediately said that Fang Xia should just make the arrangements.

"Let your mother stay at my place for now. When the zombie siege begins, bring your people to my territory at once."

Guo Yu was now a third-tier fighter as well. Fang Xia left him ten thousand second-tier upgrade crystals, enough to raise him to the fourth tier.

His Berserk ability was also a rare and extremely powerful one. Once he reached the fourth tier, he would be a tremendous help.

He was already a brigade commander in Dawn City, with several hundred men under his command. If he brought them directly to Fang Xia’s territory when the time came, it would add a little more hope.

There was no helping it. Fang Xia had too few people right now, so this was the only way.

Dawn City was wealthy and vast enough that losing a few hundred men would not matter much. They could just treat it as the first wave suffering heavier losses because it had not been noticed in time.

"Take care of yourself. I’m going to find Chen Gang."

After repeatedly reminding Guo Yu not to reveal his level after the upgrade, Fang Xia left. If Chen Gang asked where his upgrade crystals came from, there would be no way to explain it.

In the reception hall of Dawn City’s city lord mansion.

When Chen Gang heard that Fang Xia had come to pay a visit, he was also startled.

Last time Fang Xia came looking for him, and later he made a fortune through cigarettes. Now that he had come again, who knew what good thing might be waiting.

After Fang Xia entered, the two of them talked for more than an hour.

After Fang Xia left, Chen Gang’s expression turned extremely ugly. He paced alone through the vast reception hall, unable to hide the unease in his heart.

A few minutes later, Chen Gang seemed to have made some decision.

"Quickly, call Mister Zhuge here. I have urgent business to discuss with him."

"Well, Commander Fang, we meet again. No wonder I felt so stirred when I left home. It turns out I was destined to run into you."

Lonely Wolf wore a face as if he were badly constipated, but in the blink of an eye it turned into a smile full of warmth. Such a person would be a waste not to send to the stage.

[Why do I keep running into this god of slaughter? Nothing good ever comes of meeting him.]

He had been about to leave directly, but after hearing that, Fang Xia turned and walked back.

"Long time no see, Commander Lonely Wolf."

Lonely Wolf felt even worse inside. Just moments ago this cursed bastard had been ready to leave—why had he come back again? Yet on his face, he still had to force a smile.

"Commander Fang, you’re busy. We can meet any time."

Watching Fang Xia step closer and closer, Lonely Wolf felt miserable beyond words, as though he had swallowed filth and could not spit it out.

What happened last time had already spread through the whole legion. Everyone knew their commander and Commander Fang were sworn brothers, the sort who had their arms slung over each other’s shoulders, so naturally no one would stop him.

Fang Xia smoothly reached Lonely Wolf and threw an arm familiarly over his shoulder.

"What’s the rush? I’m free as can be. Brother, where are you headed?"

What else could one do at this hour except go raid an airdrop crate? There was no need to even ask.

Lonely Wolf sneered inwardly. This kid was definitely up to something; he had no good intentions.

"Nowhere in particular. Just taking the brothers out for a stroll in the nice weather and letting them see the splendor of Dawn City."

Fang Xia almost laughed out loud. This kid really had a talent for lying without blinking.

"I’ve heard the Lonely Wolf Legion has grown quite a bit. It’s almost catching up to Dawn City. Perhaps I’ll need Brother to look after me a little in the future."

Since he liked to play along, Fang Xia did not mind humoring him. He did not mind wasting some time.

Besides, Liu Rui and the others were probably sweeping up airdrop crates right now too. That counted as weakening one more enemy in another way.

"Good, good. I’ll definitely look after you then. But I’ve got something to do right now. How about we catch up another day?"

Lonely Wolf could not endure it anymore. The airdrop crates had already landed, and every minute of delay meant lost resources.

The number of people in the Lonely Wolf Legion had increased several times over compared with before. All of them needed to be supported with resources.

"Then it’s settled. Why don’t we go drink a couple of cups now? Consider it an early celebration for the Lonely Wolf Legion."

"Get lost, Fang Xia. What the hell do you want?"

If he kept stringing this along, the whole day would be wasted. Lonely Wolf finally lost his patience.

"Nothing much. I just want to sell you a piece of information. It concerns the future of your Lonely Wolf Legion."

Lonely Wolf was about to fly into a rage, but Fang Xia quietly applied force with his hand, pressing him down so he could not move.

"I just sold this information to Dawn City’s City Lord, Chen Gang. He paid a full fifty third-tier upgrade crystals for it."

"Of course, since we’re brothers, I’ll sell it to you for only thirty. What do you think?"

Lonely Wolf truly wanted to curse him out, but remembering the weight on his shoulder, he still held it in.

"Believe me, this information is absolutely worth buying. Even City Lord Chen Gang bought it, and he paid fifty. You see what I mean, right?"

Lonely Wolf hesitated.

Fang Xia had indeed come from the direction of Dawn City. It was still early, and unless something unusual had happened, he should not have been heading to Dawn City so soon.

Could it be that he really was not lying?

Thirty third-tier upgrade crystals. Buy it, or not?

If he did not buy it, that bastard with the surname Fang might really keep blocking him here forever.

Lonely Wolf began to waver, laying bare his indecisive nature.

"How about this: I’ll tell you the information first. I’m not worried about you backing out. If you hear it and still refuse to pay, you know the consequences."

The zombie siege was a major event. Only by uniting all human strength would there be a greater chance of survival. Although Lonely Wolf had some grudge against him, now was not the time to settle accounts.

Besides, no later than tonight, Chen Gang would spread the news to several of the larger factions, and the Lonely Wolf Legion would surely be among them.

He might as well sell it to him now and make a profit.

Regardless of whether Lonely Wolf agreed, Fang Xia laid out everything about the fifth-tier zombie siege in one breath.

At first, Lonely Wolf listened with some reluctance, but by the end, his expression had changed, and he listened with complete seriousness.

"Well? I didn’t lie to you, did I? Just tell me whether it’s worth thirty third-tier upgrade crystals."

Lonely Wolf was still immersed in Fang Xia’s news and said nothing for a long time.

Fang Xia did not urge him. Since he had already told him the information, the money would have to be paid one way or another.

After a long silence, Lonely Wolf suddenly took out thirty third-tier upgrade crystals and said earnestly,

"If it’s true, then this information is indeed worth the price."

"But could you perhaps fleece someone else? You’ve already stripped me bare."

After speaking, Lonely Wolf led his people away directly, and Fang Xia did not stop them.

The weather really was nice today. He had even earned thirty upgrade crystals for nothing, and the heavy gloom that had weighed on him all this time eased quite a bit.
