Hong Fuâs expression changed upon hearing that. He hesitated and said, "This is the resource we rely on to survive in the camp."
Liang Yuan sneered and just stared at him.
Hong Fu sighed and said, "If we give it to you, will todayâs incident be over?"
Liang Yuan nodded. "Yes."
"Alright, then Iâll take charge, and weâll give you the military technology."
"Good!"
Liang Yuan was delighted and agreed immediately.
"You can leave first. Tomorrow Iâll have someone organize this technology and deliver it to your camp."
Liang Yuan wasnât afraid of him reneging and agreed immediately.
Throughout the process, Tu Long and other superpower users simply watched their negotiations coldly.
After the talk ended, Liang Yuan glanced at Tu Long, sneered, and said, "Letâs go!"
The survivors from Meidu Garden turned and followed Liang Yuan towards a small path to the east.
Watching Liang Yuan and his group leave, Tu Long, who had been keeping a stern face, suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
With that sigh, he felt pain all over his body!
His chest felt like it had a mouthful of old blood about to be spat out.
But with his men around, he forced himself to endure it, turned to Hong Fu and said, "Director Hong, letâs go inside and talk. The rest of you, continue patrolling and guard the mountain; donât let anyone sneak up again!"
"Yes, boss!"
The superpower users below quickly nodded and dispersed with their men.
Hong Fu turned with Tu Long and walked back into the temple.
Hong Fu had just closed the door and hadnât spoken yet.
Tu Long suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft", followed by a bout of violent coughing.
Hong Fu was shocked, "Tu Long, whatâs wrong? Donât scare me!"
He hurriedly went forward, helped Tu Long up, and kept patting his back.
Tu Long grabbed his hand, coughed violently for a while, and then said, "Donât move, my back hurts like hell. Damn, how did that kid get so strong? Even with my Tiger Spirit attached, I still couldnât resist. Cough, cough..."
He coughed two more times, feeling somewhat better.
Then he staggered up and sat on the chair.
Hong Fu looked at the bloodstains on the ground with a trembling heart, "Whatâs going on? Werenât you pretending?"
He had thought Tu Long was purposely losing to Liang Yuan to execute their previously discussed plan.
Seeing Tu Long in such a miserable state, he was confused.
Tu Long gave him a look and said, "Do you think Iâm bored enough to come back and spit so much blood just to act for you?"
"That kid is not ordinary; heâs definitely not a regular strength-type superpower user. His spiritual power is strong."
"Even excluding spiritual power, his strength is above all the strength-type superpower users I know!"
"Damn, with my Tattooed Spirit Cyan Dragon attached, I almost couldnât hold out. How did that kid improve so much? Did he absorb a lot of superpower stones to get such high mutation progress?"
Hong Fu was shocked, "You... you mean, you werenât pretending? You really couldnât beat him?"
Tu Longâs face immediately fell, "What do you mean couldnât beat him? I wasnât prepared for his spiritual attack, otherwise, with my Tattoo Spirit Skeleton attached, I wouldnât necessarily lose."
Hong Fu was silent, knowing Tu Long was bluffing.
He then quietly changed the topic, "He probably didnât absorb many superpower stones."
"What do you mean? How do you know?"
"He doesnât even know the militaryâs rune technology, probably hasnât listened to their broadcasts, how would he know about the uses of superpower stones?"
Tu Long raised his eyebrows, "Good point, if he had listened to the military broadcasts, he wouldnât be unaware of rune technology."
"Wait, so you mean, that kid improved his mutation progress to this frightening level on his own?"
"Thatâs impossible!"
Tu Long suddenly realized it and found it hard to accept.
The strength he had today was due to absorbing a large number of superpower stones, pushing his mutation progress forward, continuously enhancing his superpower energy, and acquiring more tattoo spirit power.
How did that kid improve without superpower stones?
Hong Fu sighed, "Perhaps his superpower level is high; he might be a special talent superpower user described by the military."
Tu Long frowned, "Iâm also a special talent superpower user. Why havenât I improved so quickly?"
"Well... that I donât know." Hong Fu shook his head, then said, "Letâs not talk about this anymore. We need to think of a way to deal with this group."
"Didnât you say to let them and Wu Mengâs men fight each other?"
Hong Fu shook his head, "Before, I thought this group was just ordinary refugees. But now this Liangâs strength is no less than yours. We might need to change our plan."
"Wu Meng is a battle maniac, not someone to be provoked. His camp is entirely managed by his wife, Zhuang Shuyuan."
"The only thing Wu Meng cares about is his wife, Zhuang Shuyuan. If we want to spark their conflict, we have to start from there."
Tu Long nodded slightly, "Alright, youâre better at these schemes. You decide. Today is already the seventh, right?"
"Itâs nearly the fifteenth, and the sea tide is coming again. We should focus on finding food to handle the sea tide."
"That group thinks theyâre safe just because they climbed the mountain. So naive. When the sea tide comes, if they donât have a safe shelter or camp, ha ha..."
Tu Long sneered, his face showing pity.
Hong Fu also nodded slightly, "Food is still up to you. We currently canât proceed with crop cultivation on this mountain."
