Chapter 1 Meeting

Chen Luo was holding a meeting.

Not many people were present, just some core members.

The theme of the meeting was the establishment of branch bases.

How could they recruit future King-level survivors without expanding to other areas?

Or they wouldn’t even know if a King-level mutant appeared.

(Branch bases are only to introduce opportunities and show off a few times, uninteresting and clichéd plots will not be written, descriptions will not be extensive, and there will be no character emerging who can compete with the protagonist, wouldn't that be slapping my own face?)

Chen Luo wanted to wait until he reached Level 10, when a single Void Walk could cover two thousand *li*, before expanding.

But Level 10 was coming soon, so he would organize manpower to take root in the other three main areas and build the branch bases first.

He would keep a low profile for now, establish a foothold, and do some preparatory work.

Five hundred members would be sent to each branch base first. Not many people were needed in Shendu; even if there was just one member, no one would dare to cause trouble.

Chen Luo needed to select three people to be in charge of the branch bases.

Who to choose? It wasn't just about strength.

They had to have good brains.

Su Dazhu wouldn't work, not that he was unintelligent. Although he looked a bit simple, he really wasn't suitable.

Jin Yuanjiang would be good.

Jiang Tiancheng was also a good choice, but he was currently just an elite member and hadn't reached the Elder rank yet, so he wouldn't be able to convince the others.

Chen Luo finally settled on three candidates.

Jin Yuanjiang, Xu Qing, and Mi Ling.

In addition, Xia Haoran, Kuang Lei, and Xiong Wenhui would be assigned to the three branch bases to keep things in order.

Mi Ling had to be sent out to gain experience. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the current Mi Ling was a slacker.

The future number one Fire-attribute user was not to say she wasn't powerful, but she was not as good as she was in her previous life.

Chen Luo still had some selfish motives and sent Mi Ling to the place closest to Shendu.

Chen Luo could Void Walk two thousand *li*, but he couldn't instantly reach any place in the country.

Chen Luo couldn’t instantly reach Jin Yuanjiang’s location before becoming a King-level, but he could with Mi Ling.

Chen Luo could safely protect Mi Ling.

Chen Luo said, "That's it then. Everyone, make preparations. Spend tomorrow preparing, and set off the day after tomorrow."

Jin Yuanjiang was feeling helpless when he heard Chen Luo say, "Old Jin, I will definitely have you replaced and brought back a month before your wife gives birth."

Jin Yuanjiang's face lit up with joy. Chen Luo had sent out Mi Ling, his wife's older sister, so no one could say anything.

Chen Luo wouldn't send out Dharma King; he couldn't bear to.

He would let the Dog Leader be the mobile force. Dharma King was also fast, and could travel thousands of *li* in a few hours.

Its endurance was probably no less than Chen Luo's.

If there were difficulties, they could also look for the Dog Leader, right?

Seeing that Chen Luo had dismissed the meeting, Chen Guang told him about Gu Changfeng obtaining a high-level crystal.

Chen Guang gloated, "Besides the boss, they are all traitors. And they still say 'riding a donkey while reading a script'."

"Pfft."

Chen Luo burst into laughter, it was really funny.

Should he snatch the crystal from Gu Changfeng's hands?

Originally, Chen Luo didn't want to.

It wasn't that Chen Luo looked down on a Level 9 crystal, but it was because of Gu Changfeng himself.

He was also a future King-level, and if he couldn't make it in the future, he might be able to subdue him.

Gu Changfeng was only thinking in his heart and didn't provoke Chen Luo, so Chen Luo didn't want to make things difficult for him.

Don't underestimate a King-level, they are the main force for surviving the apocalypse.

When Chen Luo advanced to Level 10, he might not have enough crystals, but he could find a way in the sea.

Okay, it was a little dangerous. It wouldn't be good to encounter Bai Hao early. High-level marine creatures were also hard to come by and might not be found in a short time.

At this time, being able to steadily advance to Level 10 was a little more important than a King-level who was not easy to subdue.

"'Riding a donkey while reading a script, we'll see, right?' Okay, let's see."

Chen Luo called Dazhu over, "Dazhu, take two thousand people to Gu Changfeng's place and get his crystal. If he doesn't give it, eliminate him."

…

"Dawn City, it's Dawn City's people who have come."

Su Dazhu didn't sneak into Gu Changfeng's base, was there a need?

Su Dazhu waved his hand, "Surround them."

Although Su Dazhu wasn't an Elder, let alone a Vice Leader, it had always been said in the base that Su Dazhu was the first to follow Chen Luo, and Chen Luo also treated him like a brother.

His status was probably no less than that of the Dog Leader.

The members immediately responded and drove their cars to surround Gu Changfeng's base, with one person every few steps, making it impossible for anyone to run away.

Gu Changfeng received the report and walked out with a gloomy face.

Why would Chen Luo send people over for no reason?

Gu Hang, where's Gu Hang?

Gu Changfeng's most capable and trusted subordinate was still Gu Hang, so he thought of Gu Hang first.

He was gone.

Gu Changfeng's face turned a little pale. How could he be gone?

Could it be…???

Impossible, absolutely impossible, he must have gone out on business and didn't tell me.

Gu Changfeng didn't believe that Gu Hang would betray him.

Su Dazhu shouted loudly, "Gu Changfeng, hand over the crystal you snatched, or you will bear the consequences."

So they really came for the crystal.

Gu Changfeng was anxious, "Is there some misunderstanding? How could I dare to snatch Dawn City's crystal?"

Su Dazhu waved his hand, and Tong Lei stepped forward.

Tong Lei cried, "I finally obtained a high-level crystal, but you snatched it away and still denied it. I was originally going to offer it to Chief Chen."

So it was you who betrayed me?

So it wasn't Gu Hang.

Gu Changfeng's eyes turned red, and he almost gritted his teeth. I, Gu Changfeng, have treated you well.

What was even more hateful was that it was clearly me who obtained it, how did it become snatching yours?

Chen Luo valued his reputation, so he couldn't blatantly come and snatch the crystal, right?

You could guess it, but you couldn't say it openly, you had to save some face, so he found an excuse.

Su Dazhu didn't have that kind of cunning, it was all Chen Luo's idea, no, it was Chen Guang's.

Gu Changfeng's side was in an uproar. They knew Tong Lei, he was a high-level member of the base, who would have thought he would betray them.

But this was normal, they would do the same, unless the crystal was in their own hands and they could use it themselves.

If someone else obtained it, they would definitely tell Dawn City and obtain a lifetime membership.

Gu Changfeng shouted angrily, "Nonsense, I value Gu Hang, you are jealous and spreading rumors about me, trying to harm me."

"Dawn City's envoy, you must see clearly, I really don't have any high-level crystal."

Tong Lei said with a sob, "Don't deny it, it's either a Level 9 or Level 10 Earth-attribute crystal, it's on you, just search and you'll know."

Gu Changfeng was filled with anger, you ingrate.

"No means no."

Gu Changfeng surveyed the area. The number of people Su Dazhu brought was about the same as his own, but the quality was incomparable.

Dawn City already had many Level 6 people. Although he hadn't met this Su Dazhu, he must be no lower than Level 7.

It was okay for his members to bully the weak, but fighting hard battles, it wasn't that they didn't dare, but why should they?

They were just a group of survivors who wanted to live and were banding together to keep warm.

Seeing that Gu Changfeng didn't admit it, Su Dazhu didn't want to waste time with him.

"Bring Gu Hang up."

Gu Hang walked up with his head lowered.

Gu Hang said loudly, "I can testify that what Tong Lei said is true, Gu Changfeng obtained a high-level crystal."

There was an uproar.

Gu Changfeng's base was in chaos.

The boss's right-hand men have both betrayed him?

Before, Gu Changfeng said it was Tong Lei who was jealous of Gu Hang and framed him, what could he say now?

Gu Changfeng looked at Gu Hang in disbelief.

You also betrayed me?

My two absolute confidants have both betrayed me?

Gu Changfeng felt a burst of dizziness, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.
