Chapter 325: Chapter 159 Granary_2, Did Eldest Lu sense some danger to himself? Otherwise, why would he be so polite?, Regardless of his politeness, Wang Tao does not drink water provided by strangers, nor does he eat their food., So Wang Tao politely declined., Seeing this, Eldest Lu did not show any displeasure; instead, his expression became even more serious., Being so cautious, he really must be an experienced survivor of the post-apocalyptic world!, Eldest Lu poured some hot tea for himself and Xu Xiaojun before starting to explain:, “The reason we call it Fish Bay Agritainment is because this place is called Fish Bay. Fish Bay is located at the bottom of Jinbi County…”, Hearing about Jinbi County, Wang Tao understood immediately., He knew of Jinbi County—it was the westernmost county of Huangfeng City, and westward from there was Zijing City. From Zijing City further west, one would reach the capital of Wuyang Province, Wuyang City., At that time, Wei Zhenguo and his group had headed east while the Black Mist Monster was chasing after Wang Tao. Worried about leading the monster to Wei Zhenguo’s group, Wang Tao deliberately ran in the opposite direction., “As for the map…”, A troubled look appeared on Eldest Lu’s face., “Mr. Wang, as you know, there is no way to print anymore; paper maps are scarce, especially the more detailed ones. We don’t have many maps on hand…”, Eldest Lu indicated that it was difficult., Difficult, but that meant it was possible—it just depended on whether the benefits were sufficient., “You name the price.”, Wang Tao said directly., “This…” Eldest Lu feigned hesitation before tentatively asking, “Mr. Wang, you seem quite strong, don’t you?”, “Not bad.”, Wang Tao nodded., “Then, I would like to ask Mr. Wang for a favor, to help us kill a zombie. Would you be willing to do that?”, Upon hearing Eldest Lu’s request, Wang Tao’s eyebrows rose., “Kill a zombie? Let’s hear it.”, He had thought Eldest Lu would ask for food or Crystal Cores or something of the sort—Wang Tao certainly had those, and as long as the requests weren’t too excessive, he would comply., But unexpectedly, he actually wanted Wang Tao to help him kill zombies? This became interesting…, “Here’s the thing, our place is close to the county town, and there’s a formidable zombie there blocking our way. We’ve tried to kill it before but have always failed. We are organizing another hunting expedition soon, and I think Mr. Wang is very capable, so I wanted to ask if you could lend us a hand…”, Eldest Lu explained., It wasn’t easy to come across a strong survivor; he couldn’t waste this opportunity!, “Hmm? The county is so big, why don’t you take a detour from another place instead of going through there?”, Wang Tao felt that Eldest Lu wasn’t telling the whole truth. Unless there was one of those Lord Zombies like the Gorilla Zombies, known to roam around., “Cough…”, Seeing that Wang Tao was observant, Eldest Lu coughed twice, hesitating about whether to tell him., “I have no problem helping you kill the zombie, but I need all the information. After all, I’m risking my life here. If you hide anything, I definitely won’t agree,” Wang Tao added., Having heard Wang Tao’s conditions, Eldest Lu gritted his teeth., “Alright, there’s nothing that can’t be said. The place where the zombie stays is our county’s grain storage! Our target is that grain storage…”, “A grain storage!”, Wang Tao realized, so that’s why Eldest Lu insisted on killing that road-blocking zombie—it was because there was a grain storage!, Stockpiling grain for famine has always been a tradition in Qian Country. Wang Tao didn’t know exactly how many grain storages there were nationwide, but he knew that every county had at least one storage!, Shuize County, where Wang Tao was, also had one, but the army had taken away all the grain., “I had thought before that, once the overall strength of our camp improved, we would go and hunt that zombie. But before this heavy rain, I saw that zombie appeared to have some ideas about the grain storage, always trying to get in… So I worry that if it gets in there first and ruins the food, that would be a huge loss!”, Eldest Lu’s face looked a bit grim., Given the storage conditions of these grain storages, they should last for a long time, provided there is no external disturbance. However, if zombies start causing destruction, it’s hard to say how long the grains could last., That’s why Eldest Lu felt a sense of urgency. If they could get their hands on the grain, they wouldn’t have to worry about food for a long time! Furthermore, the grain could be planted; even though they wouldn’t be as good as specialized seeds, even a lower yield would mean victory as long as it could grow., “Of course, let’s keep matters separate. If Mr. Wang does our camp a favor, the map will be a personal gift from me. In addition, you will also have a share of the grain we obtain!”, Seeing that Wang Tao didn’t respond, Eldest Lu quickly asked., He didn’t know the extent of Wang Tao’s strength, but he felt Wang Tao might be stronger than Xu Xiaojun, who was the strongest in their camp!, So, after sensing a dangerous aura from Wang Tao, his first reaction wasn’t to hide but to recruit Wang Tao!, “It’s not out of the question, but I need to know the strength of this zombie. If it’s too strong, then I’m sorry, I can’t go and get myself killed. If it’s average strength, then we can talk,” Wang Tao said with a smile., Although the strength of Fish Bay Camp wasn’t great, they did have several Ability Users and many people. If they all took action, handling ordinary Level 1 Elite Zombies shouldn’t be an issue.
