Chapter 425
Back to ten minutes ago.
Inside the Phoenix Temple, filled with laughter and joy.
The original statues in the temple had all been moved out, clearing a large room.
In the hall, two people were sitting by the altar table.
One of them, covered in tattoos, had a Cyan Dragon on his left arm, a White Tiger on his right arm, and a pair of wings faintly extended to both shoulders from the neckline.
This person was about 1.8 meters tall, stout, with a buzz cut, wearing a gold chain, and had the aura of a gang leader.
Opposite him was a somewhat chubby man with a kind face, wearing an old cadre shirt and rimless glasses, exuding an air of an official.
The altar table in front of them was filled with drinks, but the plates contained only some snacks like chicken feet and instant noodles.
A few young and beautiful women, dressed in seductive clothes, were serving drinks nearby.
The tattooed strongman took a sip of his drink, then grabbed a chicken foot, stuffed it into his mouth, and with a light suck, the braised chicken foot was stripped clean off the bone.
He threw it casually to the ground beside him.
A woman immediately squatted down, picked it up like a dog, and stuffed it into her mouth.
The tattooed strongman laughed heartily, extremely pleased.
The chubby middle-aged man with glasses sighed imperceptibly and then advised, “Tu Long, don’t degrade them like this. These people were at least our neighbors before; there’s no need for this p>
Tu Long glanced at him and said, “Director Hong, why pretend? You’ve got three girls hidden in your cave, any one of them could be your daughter, and you act all high and mighty here p>
Hong Fu’s smile froze, he said helplessly, “What I mean is, we can play, but it’s best not to let outsiders see p>
“What do they say? In harsh lands, the wicked come forth. We’re eating well, drinking well, but treating people like this might not have good repercussions p>
“If it makes those bumpkins envious, things could get tricky p>
Tu Long sneered, “What’s tricky about it? Director Hong, you’re just old-fashioned, still playing the public opinion card p>
“Do you see what time it is now? It’s the apocalypse, a great flood p>
“These days, fists rule everything p>
“Previously, when I ran a bar, a KTV, I had to cater to the industry and the police. It was a shitty existence p>
“Now look, I switch women daily, and who dares to say no p>
“Envy? So what if they envy! Let them try being envious in front of me p>
“Trust me, I’ll gouge out their eyes on the spot!” The source of thɪs content is
“Envy, huh. Without me, could they live safely on this mountain p>
“The mutant beasts in the woods would’ve eaten them all as snacks long ago p>
Hong Fu had nothing to say. The world has changed, now it’s survival of the fittest.
Without Superpower Users’ protection, this camp would’ve been devoured by mutant beasts from the mountains.
Especially Tu Long, his Superpower called [Tattoo Spirit], allowing him to merge his body with his tattoos, becoming the mutant beasts on his body.
Such Superpower, something Hong Fu couldn’t even imagine.
Listening to Tu Long’s anger, he quickly offered a drink with a smile, “Look at you, getting angry. I’m just saying a few words p>
He raised his glass, and an invisible force spread out.
The furious Tu Long suddenly calmed down.
Tu Long took his glass and drank it all in one go.
Then he put down the glass and said, “Speaking of food, how much do we have left on the mountain p>
Hong Fu sighed upon hearing, “Very little left p>
“Half a year ago, everyone brought what they could up the mountain, but with so many people, it’s still not enough p>
“Right now, there’s less than a month’s supply of food in the warehouse p>
Tu Long got angry, “Damn it, out of food again? Didn’t I tell them to go fishing? Didn’t they go? Useless bunch p>
“They did, but you can’t just eat fish. People need grains too p>
“I heard the military developed a new rice cultivation technique, requiring plant-type Superpower Users. Apparently, there’s someone with plant abilities among the Qinyu Mountain Villa crowd. They’re probably already working on rice planting p>
Tu Long frowned, “Rice planting? Can this mountain grow rice p>
Hong Fu nodded, “The military’s new planting technique, they say it uses Superpower Stones to set up special energy fields p>
Tu Long frowned, “We don’t have any plant-type Superpower Users p>
“That’s the problem, we don’t. That’s why I’m worried p>
“If we had, we wouldn’t be drinking alone, eating these snacks p>
“We can fish for meat, hunt mutant beasts in the woods p>
“But without rice carbs, we’re really in trouble p>
“Tu Long, why don’t you check the nearby communities again p>
Tu Long shook his head, “I’ve already searched the nearby communities, brought back everything possible p>
“Now the floodwaters have risen to the fifteenth or sixteenth floor, there’s barely any food left. If we go further, we’ll have to head to the Henglong Building p>
“Seems we must find a way to start planting ourselves.” Hong Fu sighed.
“But without plant-type Superpower Users, even with military technology, it’s hard to achieve p>
Tu Long pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, “We don’t have any, but the other three camps do, right p>
“You mean p>
“Humph, just kidnap one!” Tu Long sneered.
Hong Fu quickly advised, “Don’t be reckless. Li Yuefeng, known as [Pirate King], his [Rubber Body] Superpower, is comparable to that Wang Lufei in the anime, it has strong restraint on your [Tattoo Spirit]. Even Wu Meng couldn’t deal with him p>
