Post-apocalyptic World: Stockpile Ten Billion Supplies at the Beginning

“Brother Tian, hello. A small gift as a token of respect.”

“Brother Tian, I know you have a good relationship with Boss Chen. This is a gift prepared for Boss Chen. Boss Chen is a person of great importance, and it’s difficult to meet him in person. I’d trouble you to pass it on.”

The leader of a small base was extremely respectful in front of Lin Tian, as if he were meeting his own father.

Lin Tian’s face lit up with a smile, and he graciously accepted all the gifts.

Since he had become Chen Luo’s sworn brother, countless people had come to offer gifts.

After the gift-givers left Lin Tian’s base, a younger brother grumbled, “Boss, I just don’t understand. We can’t even meet Boss Chen in person, so what’s the point of giving gifts? Isn’t it just a waste of time? We can’t even feed ourselves properly.”

The boss smiled calmly and said, “You don’t understand. Whether Boss Chen accepts the gifts is his business, but whether we give them is our business.”

“It’s better to pay respects regularly than to do so in a crisis.”

“By giving these gifts, we’re expressing our attitude. If you give a gift, Boss Chen may not even know, but if you don’t, he might remember it and settle scores at an opportune time.”

The boss sighed, “Giving gifts is an art.”

He sighed again, “I just don’t understand. Why does Boss Chen favor Lin Tian so much, making him a dog? He openly declared that provoking Lin Tian is the same as provoking him.”

“Give me a chance, and I’ll serve him even better than Lin Tian does, making him feel comfortable.”

As for the gifts meant for Chen Luo, Lin Tian kept them all for himself.

Lin Tian’s trusted younger brother, Zhou Qiang, expressed concern, “Boss, isn’t this a bad idea? What if Chen Luo finds out? We might be in trouble.”

Lin Tian waved his hand, “Qiang, you need to understand. We revolve around Chen Luo for what? For our own benefit. If there’s no benefit, he won’t give us any advantages. Why should we flatter him?”

“Without enough resources, how can we support so many people under us?”

“No windfall, no wealth. Only those with courage can survive. Without courage, how can we make it?”

“If the water is too clear, there are no fish. Even if he finds out, I’m confident I can smooth things over.”

“After a period of stability, we’ll organize our manpower and go get a batch of turtle shells.”

Lin Tian didn’t say it, but if he ever obtained a high-level crystal and significantly improved his strength, and Chen Luo wanted to deal with him, it might be a case of who would be dealing with whom.

Currently, he had over 1300 people under him.

When he first arrived in the divine city, he had just over 200 people. His strength had skyrocketed, far surpassing his previous life.

What was it all about?

It was all about his good relationship.

Many who are not satisfied with the conditions of Chen Luo’s base are likely to join Lin Tian. These people can also be considered as potential elites.

They hope to switch to Chen Luo’s side one day.

Some people don’t want to be ordinary underlings and hope to find a base with a background and strength, even being a middle-level member would be good.

Although Lin Tian has a large number of people, there are indeed no trash among them.

Lin Tian considers himself a dog, but he is stronger than many others.

One day, Lin Tian’s long-awaited opportunity arrived.

A big shot who came from afar presented a batch of gifts to Lin Tian and took the opportunity to say, “Near my area, there’s a base with a higher number of female survivors. They obtained a crystal the size of a goose egg yesterday. It might be a level-eight or level-nine crystal.”

Lin Tian’s eyes sharpened, “Is this true? Don’t deceive me.”

The visitor smiled and said, “I saw it with my own eyes. I would never lie. I wouldn’t dare to deceive you, Brother Tian.”

Lin Tian nodded, guessing that the person beside him and the other party definitely had conflicts, and the other party wanted to use him as a tool.

This was fine, as long as the crystal was genuine. It had only been a day, so they certainly hadn’t absorbed much.

Lin Tian was excited. If he obtained this crystal, his strength would definitely skyrocket. If it was a level-nine crystal, it might even allow him to advance to level seven.

After a period of development, I can transform from a dog to a human.

This crystal must be obtained.

Lin Tian asked, “What’s the strength of the other party?”

“Over four hundred people, but the leader is quite strong, rare to find a match even among level fives.”

Lin Tian sneered. No matter how powerful a level five was, at most they could withstand a hundred level fours.

Level five, hm, I am also a level five.

I’ve got this crystal.

After lunch, Lin Tian directly led over a thousand people to rush over. No one was left in the base. Who would dare to rob a dog with an astonishing background?

After more than five hours, Lin Tian finally arrived at the destination.

Lin Tian instructed Zhou Qiang, “Qiang, you go and negotiate with them first, and make them voluntarily hand over the crystal.”

Lin Tian didn’t make a big fuss about snatching it. Without much thought, there might be spies inserted by Chen Luo in the base.

Once Chen Luo found out that he had obtained a high-level crystal, he would definitely come to claim it. Lin Tian knew he couldn’t refuse.

This matter had to be handled quietly.

Lin Tian appeared with a large group of people, and the base immediately became tense. Most of them were women.

The leader of this base was a woman, which was why the majority of the base’s members were women.

She is called Xiong Wenhui, a name that sounds elegant, but in reality, she is stronger than the vast majority of men.

Zhou Qiang smiled and said, “Sister Xiong, hand over the crystal. It’s for your own good. Otherwise, hehe.”

Xiong Wenhui cursed loudly, “It must have been Zhou Chao, that bastard. Cao, I’ll go and kill him as soon as I get back.”

Pointing at Zhou Qiang, Xiong Wenhui continued, “Before I get angry, get lost. Do you think I, Xiong Wenhui, am someone to be trifled with? If you want a fight, let’s fight.”

Zhou Qiang left with a grim expression, “Damn woman, digging her own grave.”

After Zhou Qiang reported the outcome, Lin Tian coldly ordered, “Kill them. Spare the pretty ones.”

Killing Xiong Wenhui would naturally allow them to obtain the crystal. To prevent the secret from leaking out, Lin Tian had originally intended to kill her.

A battle with a nearly 3:1 numerical disparity quickly unfolded.

Lin Tian thought that with so many people on his side and their high quality, they should be able to handle a group of women. However, Xiong Wenhui was able to establish this base without being bullied, so she must have had strength.

“Bear’s Power.”

Xiong Wenhui roared, and to Lin Tian’s astonishment, transformed into a black bear over five meters tall.

This black bear was incredibly powerful.

Xiong Wenhui was a natural ability user, mastering the power of transformation.

At the peak of level five, the strength and defense of the transformed black bear exceeded that of a level six. Among ordinary people, she was definitely considered top-tier in terms of strength.

The only drawback was a slightly slower speed, and Xiong Wenhui could only maintain this state for less than ten minutes.

However, this was more than enough. Slower speed was relative; it was effortless to catch up to level four individuals.

With the strength of a peak level six, she could easily swat a person to death with a single paw.

On the other hand, it was very difficult for Lin Tian’s side to harm Xiong Wenhui.

Slaughter.

Xiong Wenhui was unstoppable.

Watching his subordinates being slaughtered and facing the approaching Xiong Wenhui, Lin Tian exclaimed in horror, “My big brother is Chen Luo. How dare you touch me?”

“I came to get the crystal for my big brother. You’d better know your place.”

Xiong Wenhui angrily retorted, “Chen Luo, Xia Luo, I’ve never heard of them. Die.”

Using his level five wind ability, Lin Tian managed to escape from Xiong Wenhui, and the others also fled in panic.

After chasing for a while, Xiong Wenhui stopped pursuing. Her transformation had a time limit.

Having suffered a great loss, Lin Tian absolutely couldn’t swallow this humiliation. He couldn’t obtain the crystal from Xiong Wenhui on his own.
