Chapter 79

It appears that there arent many people here. Chen Guangs group consists of over twenty individuals, but they havent used walkie-talkies to communicate.

This small number of people shouldnt be difficult to handle, but they seem to be ineffective, necessitating reinforcements.

As several vehicles spotted the passengers getting off the bus, they also stopped near the entrance of the residential area, with around a dozen people stepping out.

In a polite tone, Chen Guang said, You cant enter here. Why dont you try looking somewhere else?

Upon hearing this, the group frowned in response. They wanted to settle in two villas, and they knew this was a villa area.

A young man chuckled and asked, Are all the villas occupied, big brother?

Chen Guang simply smiled and replied, Go check somewhere else.

To be honest, if it werent for the fact that there are many people on the opposite side, and they are unsure about the number of people inside the residential area, this group might forcefully break in.

Is this your place?

If a conflict arises, it could be a fatal mistake.

Just then, another convoy is approaching not far away, probably consisting of more than ten vehicles.

Chen Guangs expression changed, unable to determine the number of people on the opposite side. If a conflict broke out, it would not end well for his side.

When in doubt, seek the leaders advice.

Chen Guang immediately turned around and used the walkie-talkie to contact Chen Ge, saying, Boss Chen, quite a few people are coming our way, around ten to fifteen vehicles, and maybe fifty to sixty people.

Chen Luo was casually eating an ice cream, looking at his phone while lying on a chair, occasionally patting the rice beside him.

Upon hearing the message on the walkie-talkie, he wasnt surprised and responded through it, Everyone, gather at the entrance of the residential area.

Chen Luo wasnt surprised at all. The location and conditions of the villas made them the best in the vicinity, so it was strange that no one came to claim them.

Each villa had at least two walkie-talkies, so when Shu Yun heard the news, she quickly arranged for everyone to gather.

Zhang Jingjing, who was with Li Hui, was also called to join them.

Zhang Jingjing felt a bit anxious, wondering if they were going to fight.

Trying not to draw attention, she attempted to move to the back and stand with Li Hui. However, Shu Yun asked, By the way, what ability do you have?

This question had been asked of Zhang Jingjing before by others, and she replied, I have strength-based abilities.

Shu Yun said, Then you stand at the front.

Unable to contain her protest, Zhang Jingjing asked, Why? Im only 18, and Li Hui is standing at the back too, right?

But he didnt share this secret with the others and kept it hidden.

A bunch of unruly individuals, even though they call him their leader, are clearly not united.

Sun Dawei chuckled, Little brother, youre the one in charge here, right? Theres nothing left in this area, no need to hide it. My people havent eaten or drunk anything for a day. Can you provide some support?

Chen Luo sneered inwardly. Of course, there would be no supplies in areas without zombies, but he hadnt fully searched some of the residential areas, so there must be supplies there.

However, those places also had zombies, and few dared to venture there, especially after the zombies evolved to Level 1.

Chen Luo replied with a smile, Support is not possible, but we can trade. You can use the crystals from the zombies foreheads; one crystal can be exchanged for a bottle of water and a pound of rice.

I dont have too many supplies myself, but considering that we are all survivors, I reluctantly offer this trade.

Sun Daweis face changed drastically. Is this kid stupid? He just revealed the secret of the crystals like that?

Others have already advanced to Level 2, how can I still control the team?

It was only by being ahead of others in strength that he managed to make the rest of the group follow him.

As expected, even the followers around Sun Dawei were astonished.

Shu Yun, Mi Ling, and the others arrived, and together with Chen Luos group, there were just over fifty people, slightly more than the opposition.

Sun Dawei burst into laughter, I thought there would be more of you, but instead, a group of women came. Well, I must say, these women are quite pretty.

Turning around, Sun Daweis expression turned fierce as he said, He says we have to kill zombies to get supplies, but do you know how difficult it is to deal with zombies?

After a moment of silence, a middle-aged man spoke, Young man, we are really suffering from hunger. You must have plenty of supplies, please give us some.

If you dont give us anything, when we get desperate from hunger, we can do anything.

Chen Luo had plenty of supplies, giving them a months worth of food would be just a drop in the ocean for him. But could he really give it to them?

Absolutely not.

Opening that door would send the wrong message, making them appear weak. It would encourage others to come begging next time or spread the word, leading to even more people showing up at their doorstep demanding supplies.

That would be a foolish move.

Chen Luo did give them some hope, but they would rather confront him than face the zombies.

Were they not afraid of death? Of course, they were.

When empowered survivors clashed, it often resulted in mutual destruction. Level 1 survivors were even harder to deal with than Level 1 zombies.

The middle-aged man, with rich life experience, sensed that Chen Luo seemed hesitant to take action.

They were desperate and penniless. If Chen Luo didnt give them anything, they would put up a show of being willing to risk everything, just to see if he would give in.
