After listening to Yue Zhong’s words, Chen Jian Feng’s and Lei Cheng’s eyes seemed to shine with a bright light, then go dark again. This is a good idea, but 150,000 ammo is not a small sum. They were unwilling to give so many bullets to Yue Zhong.
Chen Jian Feng seemed to consider for a moment before he said: “No way! We do not have so many ammunitions to barter with you in exchange for the machetes. How about this, I will arrange for 1,000 survivors for you to train, and you will arm these men. These 1,000 survivors will be your man from now on. As an exchange, you gift us with 1,000 machetes. “
Yes Zhong nodded and agreed without a thought: “Sure!”
Previously, the survivor camp had restricted Yue Zhong from recruiting more men, and continuously inferred when Chen Shi Tou was trying to recruit more men. Even now, Yue Zhong finds it hard to gather more men to his camp.
The survivor camp lacks weapons, while Yue Zhong’s team lack men. Now that Chen Jian Feng had taken out 1,000 survivors to exchange for 1,000 machetes, both parties had engaged in a win-win situation.
Yue Zhong continued: “But these 1,000 survivors, I only want young and healthy men. “
After the apocalypse, regardless if it is men or women, both are valuable resources. Men are usually, but not always, stronger than women, and trend to make better warriors [C2]. Women can do what men can’t: give birth to children and increase the population. But right now, Yue Zhong needs more fighters. Therefore, he chooses what he thought made better warriors – young and healthy men.
Translator notes:
It would not matter if they were young and healthy man or middle-aged man or woman, mate. They all can fight. One hit from a zombie will result in zombie virus.
Chen Jian Feng’s eyebrows twitched. He actually wanted to take advantage of Yue Zhong, by sending 1,000 old folks and the sick to Yue Zhong. On one hand, he could save on food supplies. On the other hand, he could prevent Yue Zhong from getting stronger. But Yue Zhong did not take the bait, and immediately asked for man who could directly fight.
Chen Jian Feng reconsidered, and re-negotiate: “I give you 500 young men, 700 women and 600 children.”
In the age of apocalypse, the children only eat up the food supplies and are a liability. In this survivor camp, the food is insufficient, and the living conditions suck. Many children will mysteriously disappear or are captured by men for carnal pleasures. Chen Jian Feng knows that Yue Zhong treats the kids relatively well, and wish to hand over the kids to Yue Zhong’s side.
It is because of these 600 children that Chen Jian Feng offered to give 200 more women more than the agreed amount of 1,000 survivors.
“Ok”, Yue Zhong had seen through what Chen Jian Feng was thinking of, and did not press Chen Jian Feng further.
Right now, the situation is not very favourable for all parties, and Chen Jian Feng had already shown some sincerely. Yue Zhong did not want to pressurise them too much. After all, both sides have a common enemy.
Yue Zhong said: “I have a personal request: I hope that the survivor camp can allow all survivors to have enough to eat during these ten days. If needed, we can round them up and enable them to fight against the zombie as a last resort.”
The majority of the survivors in the camp in the camp seldom have enough food to eat and have no strength to fight. If this goes on, after the zombie breached the gates, these survivors do not even have the strength to flee or fight back.
LongHai survivor camp may have jointly captured the granary in Shang Lin county and received a lot of food. But there is no new supply of food as the seeds could not germinate. The Survivor camp only allow survivors to drink some watery porridge to preserve their lives. Most of the survivors were hungry until they were nothing more than skin and bones. In the entire camp, other than the men from the special administrative region, there is no fat people.
Translator notes:
What about Lei Cheng? He is fat like a pig. He lives in the military camp and not the S.A.R
Chen Jiang Feng considered for a moment, and then he agreed.
But he was thinking “If we allow the survivors to eat, then they can work faster and harder to build barricade and walls. In this way, the main force can focus on attacking the enemy instead of creating these trenches, saving time and effort.”
The three parties struck an agreement, and all of them left the secret room.
The next day, 500 men, 700 women and 600 kids were rounded up by Chen Jian Feng and handed over to Yue Zhong’s side.
Yue Zhong immediately sent the women and children to Big Cliff Village and Stone Horse Village.
At the same time, Big Cliff Village continuously delivered machetes in batches to Yue Zhong and Chen Jian Feng.
Chen Jian Feng also rounded up 1,000 men and handed these men to Lei Cheng.
Lei Cheng assigned military trainers to train these men. He does not require these men to become elite fighting troo
