Zhang Qin Feng enjoyed his short moment of peace by spending quality time with family members and Luo Qing. The latter also accepted his request to get in a relationship, while Zhang Qin Feng is relying on her for his first house purchase.
In his previous dealing, Zhang Qin Feng added up 60 million dollars into his account. Looking at how easy the money comes into his pocket nowadays, he started to feel indifferent toward the millions of dollars in his bank.
With the four families help, the East Coast Mining Company also able to proceed without obstacle. Truck after trucks of ores is being delivered to all nearby refineries to be smelted. Of course, using Yue Qiang's name, one-tenth of the minerals is given to Zhang Qin Feng secretly.
That supply of ores helped Zhang Qin Feng reaches his collection target, which is quite a sum for the apocalypse to proceed with the Alexis Tower Project.
At the same time, Zhang Qin Feng also borrowed the Yue Brother's experience to register his business and also bought the deed for that plot of land. By signing the agreement to complete the payment in a twelve-months term, Zhang Qin Feng now owns the area around his shop.
Because the location is too far from the bustling Changzhou City, the 150-acres land deed is transferred to Zhang Qin Feng with a price of 200 million dollars. Adding up with the interest of 10% in his 12 month repayment period, he's going to pay the Agriculture Bank 220 million dollars in total.
For now, there was no reason for Zhang Qin Feng to quickly barricades his land from outsiders, but it did not stop him from getting a land planner to suggest a building plan.
After bringing the business registration back to his General Store, Stein privately remodeled the building to look like a storage warehouse. Of course, the modification is being done by taking the space in the apocalypse as a measure.
The garage and armory were combined with the main building after the modification. An additional delivery station is also added at the back to allow a swifter process during restocking.
Nowadays, Zhang Qin Feng no longer restocks his warehouse with van-size orders. Fresh, dried, and packaged food are all came in wooden pellets in tonnage amount, and delivery is being done once every Thursday.
Also came on Thursday is the Changzhou Breweries. Because Zhang Qin Feng did not bother them with the return of the keg, the brewery is treating Zhang Qin Feng like their only VIP.
The same peaceful 1-month period also happened in the apocalypse.
After the end of Carrier's Tide, the Azure Wind Base takes the opportunity to refit their soldier's equipment and training. With two more Memento Mori Memory Drives is found by the Scraps Exchange Company, they're now capable of basic soldier's training.
A building specialized for lesson purposes is getting fitted to allow enough soldiers to enter and start the training program. Even better is one of the drives that contained a chemistry science program, which slowly helps in putting more people into good use.
Furthermore, Minos and Wolf Vehicles are being delivered in bulks, making the base almost have enough transport for all his soldiers to have a ride. As for the Minos Supply Vehicle, they're used by both soldiers, representatives, and residents daily for the long-range task.
That peaceful 1 month period gave Zhang Qin Feng sufficient time to rearrange his base. In this grace period, his people did not stop expanding their base outward and quickly controlled the Shangqing plot, the Shangwen plot, and the Shanghai plot.
Each plot comes with an Upper, Middle, Lower, Main, and Side street, which is about 100-acres in total.
The Shangqing plot is immediately decided to be the Factory Zone, the Shangwen as Militarized Zone, and Shanghai as Residents and entertainment.
While at 13th Zone, a 20-acres plantation was set up with 8,000 Cerulean Resin Plants. There will be an additional outpost erected here as protection and security purposes.
But that's not all.
Technology-wise, the Factory Zone in Shangqing now possessed their first Privatize-Type Material Printer. Although there's only one in the hall with 20 printers, they believe that with the given time, they'll be able to refit all stations into the Privatize-Grade printer soon.
The collection of tech scraps also gave the BSV a breath of new life.
Zhang Qin Feng gave it the codename [Honeybee] due to its disposable nature. This equipment comes with a deployable Swarmer Box, which can be deployed and left there until any further uses.
As it was linked with the user's Luna Device, the Honeybee can be remotely controlled to perform firing action on the user's behalf.
But unfortunate to Zhang Qin Feng, the others in his list remained idle because there are no additional parts or research that hugely contribute to its improvement.
From a business point of view, the survivors in Changyang City seem to starts accepting the existence of Azure Wind Base. So far, essential goods such as the battery, medicine, ammunition, compressed food, and Gene Enhancer are very in demand.
The business is so good, it made Zhang Qin Feng questioned his pricing.
But the report from the resident's union came to convince him otherwise.
One of the main reasons they traded with Azure Wind Base is because of the availability in stock. The inventory of Azure Wind base can be said to be far superior compared to the five top-tier gangs put together. Furthermore, who wanted to purchase a cheaply made battery, if the one from Azure Wind Base looks and works better?
Just like this, the survivor's life continued.
Smaller to intermediate gangs fought against each other to annex their opponent, with relics of technology is found by people daily. Rape and slavery go on without control, with a looming threat from Seed Crystal Virus all around them.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind...
As the top tier gangs continue to treat Azure Wind Base as a threat, none of them noticed there is something bigger behind them...
...
...
[My lord, we're ready to take action...]
Inside an underground cavern, five gigantic silhouettes are discussing something. Nothing resembles a human can be seen from their physical body, except their language.
All of them come from one same gene, which is further mutated with a ridiculous level of SCV infection. The flesh on their body is a hardened piece overlapping one another until it formed into a layer of armor.
Their height?
Close to 21 meters.
The five beings here ate humans regularly, especially those they called "Enhanced Human."
[Do it. It's about time we replenish the valley with new humans]
The one recognized as lord ordered. As he speaks, his hand went to grab the bottom part of a female human and swallowed her in a gulp.
[I will return with good news]
The mutant left the cavern without looking back. And with a body height of 21 meters tall, walking across 2,000 kilometers to Changzhou is not an impossible task at all.
Outside of Changzhou City, a sea of mutants is circling its outskirt.
[WOOOOO!!!]
The moment an order is given, over 100 million mutants and living dead charged into the city, preparing to destroy mankind's civilization once more!
[Hahaha! Humans! Get ready to be sacrificed to the great Capital Tyrant!]
