“You may go!!” After Yue Zhong heard what Wu Shanshi had to say, he pondered a while, before giving the signal to his subordinates aiming at the Nine Holes people, who then put their guns down. The women and children were also released to rejoin their families.
Bai Xiaosheng walked over in a relaxed manner and asked Yue Zhong while laughing: “Leader!! How about we go and decimate the Heaven Sect? Since they have over 8,000 members, there must be at least a dozen of beauties right? The most beautiful ones will naturally belong to Leader, as for the rest that don’t suit your taste, I’ll gladly take them off your hands!!”
Bai Xiaosheng was naturally strong, but had zero governing abilities, and only seeked to fulfill his desires. This was how Bei Mingyang had easily recruited him into his ranks, and became his top fighter. Even now that the leaders have changed, a leopard can’t change its spot and he still lusted after women.
Yue Zhong replied indifferently: “No! The Heaven Sect has 8,000 members after all! If we want to eradicate them, we would need to spend a huge amount of time! We don’t have that kind of time to waste. Shang Lun, adjust our route!”
The Heaven Sect was also nothing in Yue Zhong’s eyes. Without any heavy weapons, Yue Zhong estimated that 5 tanks and an fully equipped infantry battalion would be enough to wipe them out.
If it wasn’t for the uncertain weather, as well as the difficult progress for the troops, Yue Zhong would have deployed some people to wipe out this unorthodox sect.
Shang Lun replied: “Yes! Leader!”
The soldiers from the fleet then disembarked and gathered the weapons and resources from the corpses of the Heaven Sect members, and made preparations to leave.
When Wu Shanshi saw this, his face fell, and looked at Yue Zhong before he came before him and dropped to his knees. He started begging: “Sir!! I beg you, please save my tribesmen!! I’m kneeling and begging please!! Those animals took our people and will engage in blood sacrifice! We have lost over 30 over people to them, if you don’t go and save them, they will definitely die at the hands of those bastards!”
Yue Zhong replied apathetically: “I’m very sorry! I don’t have the time to spare! Since those animals have kidnapped your people, you guys should go save them yourselves!”
Yue Zhong only had the objective of rushing towards Guilin City on his mind now, and did not want to entangle with the Heaven Sect.
In this post-apocalyptic world, there were poor souls everywhere. If Yue Zhong were to help each and everyone of them seek justice, even till the day he died, he would not be able to solve every single problem. Furthermore, he had no relations with this Wu Shanshi, he wasn’t willing to waste time for a stranger.
Wu Shanshi gritted his teeth, if someone of his calibre were to head to Heaven Sect, he would fall before saving anybody. Only the young man in front of him had the capability to rescue his tribesmen, but he was obviously not interested.
Wu Shanshi continued in a low voice: “Sir!! If you can bring your men to save my people, we’re willing to do anything for you. We’re willing to offer you a tribe treasure, the Grain Tree.”
Yue Zhong’s eyes narrowed, and asked directly: “Grain Tree? What’s that?”
Wu Shanshi then revealed the biggest secret of the Nine Holes Camp: “Grain Tree, it is a huge tree that can produce grain! There are a few such trees in our Nine Holes Camp, each tree could produce a few hundred jin of rice. The people of our tribe have been relying on these to survive till now.”
In this post-apocalyptic world, rice was indefinitely more valuable than gold. Most of the seeds of the pre-apocalyptic world had no way of germinating currently, only a handful of mutated seeds had managed to grow.
Because of this, the agriculture industry crashed entirely, and there were no new ways of farming yet. If what Wu Shanshi said was true, then the dozens of Grain Trees at the Nine Holes Camp could become the cornerstone of the farming industry. If it were really the case, the dozens of trees would be more valuable than a few thousand tonnes of rations.
Yue Zhong’s gaze was piercing, as he became a little excited and asked: “Is what you said for real? If it’s true! I can deploy troops to save your people! However! If you’re lying, you and your tribesmen will have to pay a painful price!”
If Yue Zhong managed to obtain that Grain Tree, then he could begin mass planting of such trees, and he would solve the problem of rations.
Wu Shanshi nodded profusely and swore: “It definitely is the truth! Should there be the slightest lie in my words, you can shoot me dead!!”
Yue Zhong eyed Wu Shanshi and the corners of his mouth lifted: “Fine! Go bring Lu Ningshui over!”
Mahogany Town was a small rural town, and within the town, other than a shopping mall, there no other tall buildings.
In a room within Mahogany Town, there was a man dressed in a few layers of cl
