Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Suddenly Going to Run Away

The entrance regulations for F City Base have also introduced a new rule: each person entering the base for the first time will be charged 40 Ordinary Crystal Cores, and other procedures such as registration, temperature checks, and waiting are all indispensable.

Han Jin brought a total of 15 Special Ability Users with him to the entrance of F City Base, and the dozen or so people all looked to be young and robust. A newly appointed City Guard glanced at the registration list at the city gate.

While the group waited on one side, the City Guard slowly made his way into the city gate.

Yin Bao ran swiftly. He remembered that Han Jin; it was a name that Big Brother Bu had mentioned before. In the past few days, Bu Hong had asked him to keep an eye out for newcomers entering the city, and now he needed to seize the opportunity to report quickly.

Bu Hong had specially commended Yin Bao, the new addition to the City Guards, and while instructing him to inform Long Aotian and the others of the event, he also specifically dispatched two Speed Element Ability Users to closely monitor the movements of those sixteen people. He wondered, who would the Han Family seek out first upon arrival?

“Han Jin arrived?”

Lu Hao didn’t expect the people from the Han Family to arrive so swiftly.

“So they’re here, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Lin Xiuyuan didn’t take the matter seriously at all. After all, Han Jin was just a little nobody who had lost to his brother-in-law in just a few moves; it was only if Han Yue, the Mental Element Ability User, arrived that they would need to be more cautious.

“It’s not about being afraid, but it’s very possible they’re coming for Long Aotian.”

Lu Hao called his family inside the house to discuss the matter.

If a conflict arose, he and Su Jin would be unable to intervene; after all, his Special Ability Fire was recognizable to Han Jin and could potentially expose the Heart Talk Team. Moreover, there were only five people left in their family, and it was uncertain who would win or lose in a fight against those 16 Ability Users.

“So, disciple, are you suggesting that we abandon this place and run first?”

Nie Qing also believed what Lu Hao said made sense, as the safety of everyone was always the most important.

“Running first is a given, but we can find someone to take care of this place for us.”

Lu Hao said with a smile.

“Take care of it? Who would that be?”

Huang Yunxiang was hearing the term for the first time; could goods also be entrusted to someone for safekeeping?

“The closest one, across from us, Wu Xingye.”

Lu Hao pointed to the True Martial Sect across from the little western-style building.

They had a close cooperative relationship with F City Base and were on familiar terms with Wu Xingye. If they stopped selling their place in line without good reason, it would seem inappropriate. So, he planned to leave a substantial amount of goods, allowing the people from True Martial Sect to help them sell, and when they returned next time, they could simply collect the Crystal Cores.

“Xiao Hao, that’s a good idea. Anyway, I see that there are so many ordinary people in their sect who don’t have to go out and kill zombies every day. If they’re willing to do us this favor, it wouldn’t hurt to give them a little token of our appreciation,”

Su Xiangzhe thought this plan was excellent. Bu Hong is always worried about their absence, right? If they leave enough goods converted into sales here, and return to collect it next time, it should put Bu Hong more at ease.

Thus, everyone agreed on the plan, and Lu Hao immediately took Xiuyuan across to True Martial Sect.

Wu Xingye was surprised to see them: “You’re leaving already?”

What was going on? They had only sold half of the day’s goods and they were departing?

“Circumstances demand it. The Han Family from B City has arrived, bringing many Ability Users with them, and we are only six people, so we don’t wish to encounter them,”

Lu Hao conveyed the news that Bu Hong’s people had just delivered to Wu Xingye.

That’s when Wu Xingye understood. He thought something major had happened.

“No problem. Both F City Base and True Martial Sect will do our utmost to protect you,”

Wu Xingye felt that it was their responsibility to do so.

Lu Hao shook his head and analyzed, “First, the special ability users at the F City base are too weak overall; they don’t even have a Level Five ability user, which will lead to casualties. Second, if the base, which is still unstable now, comes into conflict with the Han Family of B City, it would give the Han Family a perfect excuse to easily replace Bu Hong. Third, both of these issues can be avoided as long as they don’t catch us.”

Lu Hao’s words stabbed into Wu Xingye’s heart like a series of knives.

To him, all three points raised by Chen Daming essentially reiterated one issue: their F City base was just a sitting duck for now, barely able to protect itself. They really shouldn’t be putting on airs…

“Well… that does make sense…”

Wu Xingye laughed awkwardly.

“Uncle Wu, could you do us a small favor?”

Lin Xiuyuan asked at that moment.

“Of course, what’s the favor?”

Wu Xingye thought quickly, wondering if they wanted a vehicle for making a quick escape?

“It’s that we still haven’t finished selling our goods. Could we leave the rest of our supplies with the True Martial Sect and ask your brothers to help us sell them? When we come back next time, we can just collect the money for the goods,” Lin Xiuyuan asked.

Wu Xingye was taken aback, “You guys, you’re really okay with leaving the supplies for us to sell? Aren’t you afraid we might skimp on you?”

Wu Xingye found it amusing. These two young men sure knew how to play their cards. At the same time, he didn’t expect that Long Aotian and the others had such trust in him.

After all, those were supplies!

In Lin Xiuyuan’s heart at the moment: It’s just supplies; if they’re embezzled, so be it!

“Uncle Wu, we trust you, and we have a long-term cooperative relationship with Base Leader Bu. It’s not a big deal, as supplies are meant to be fully utilized,” Lu Hao responded.

“Hahaha, straightforward! Just like your two friends who are exceptionally good-looking, you’re refreshingly frank. I agree to your request,” Wu Xingye exclaimed. Seeing Chen Daming at the moment, he suddenly remembered Lu Hao when he was with Su Jin. The two did behave similarly, which must be a case of birds of a feather flocking together!

“Really? Thank you so much, Uncle Wu!” Lin Xiuyuan said happily. Now they could get crystal core earnings without having to sell every single kilogram of their goods, which felt great.

Wu Xingye didn’t waste any time. He immediately summoned some people and started the handover with the two. Wu Xingye even specifically brought an account book to record each item Long Aotian left behind, facilitating the next time they tallied up.

In addition to leaving a sizable amount of supplies behind, Lin Xiuyuan also gave Wu Xingye five big bags of flour as a token of their gratitude for the help.

Wu Xingye repeatedly refused, but seeing that the two insisted on giving, he stopped protesting. The five big bags of flour were indeed a lot, enough for the several hundred members of the True Martial Sect to eat for a long time.

“Are you really leaving today?” Wu Xingye still felt reluctant. He had planned to organize a farewell banquet when Long Aotian and his group were leaving, and now they were suddenly ready to go.

“Yes, Uncle Wu, we still need to find more supplies elsewhere. Just make sure to take good care of our crystal cores,” Lin Xiuyuan said with a frugal air.

“Haha, don’t worry. We will keep them safe for sure, and we also need to save up more crystal cores for when you come to sell next time,” Wu Xingye said, patting Long Aotian on the shoulder.
