Chapter 335: Income

Thus, Qu Baoguo said no more and used the simplest and most direct method to produce evidence that was enough to convince them.

Then, hundreds of people watched Qu Baoguo, who lightly clapped his hands; after six claps—three long and three short—eight people appeared directly in front of them, as well as on their left and right sides.

These people were all well-equipped, to the point of being armed to the teeth, and more importantly, each of the twenty-four people carried a rocket launcher, which was pointed in the direction of the Survivors present.

Qu Baoguo’s meaning was already very clear.

You want to see?

No problem, I’ve satisfied you. Here are more than twenty fully armed Survivors in front of you.

They each have a rocket launcher. If you continue to doubt, it’s also easy to handle.

Come and taste if the rocket launcher in his hand is real, and if trying it will lead to death.

For some reason, everyone present had a special understanding; they all understood Qu Baoguo’s thoughts, and no one questioned him further.

Seeing that the situation was almost settled, his own people in the crowd feigned pushing their way out.

Looking at Qu Baoguo above, he cautiously asked,

“Qu Ge, we believe what you said.”

“So what should we do next?”

Qu Baoguo nodded in satisfaction at his own people’s performance, maintaining his usual expression on the surface.

He waved his hand at the warriors below, and the twenty-four well-equipped warriors put down their rocket launchers. After all, they weren’t proficient with them, and they were only brought out to scare these Survivors. If one had accidentally fired, it would have been a major incident.

Then, Qu Baoguo looked at everyone below and said loudly,

“In this era, resources are scarce, and dangers abound.”

“Therefore, we must unite and establish a base for us Survivors.”

“Here, everyone must contribute their strength, whether it’s searching for supplies or defending against external enemies.”

Everyone nodded, expressing agreement.

Subsequently, Qu Baoguo began to talk nonsense in a serious manner; after all, how things would turn out depended on his words alone.

“Just like us before.”

“Look at the weapons and equipment on them; that’s a symbol of our recognition.”

“Here, I also have something to tell you: just this morning, Mr. was very satisfied with the intelligence we provided.”

“Guess what Mr. gave us?”

At this moment, he actually started interacting with these Survivors.

And his own people, mixed in the crowd, quickly understood Qu Baoguo’s meaning and immediately began to set the pace.

“Me, me, me, me!”

“I know what it is!”

“At a time like this, of course, he gave us weapons and equipment for self-defense.”

The more than two hundred people listened to these words from the other party, which sounded like they said something but also nothing. For some reason, they actually felt an urge to speak.

So, unknowingly, they started speaking one after another, and the atmosphere on site became exceptionally lively.

Most people no longer felt the previous tension; their chatterboxes opened, and they became more familiar with each other.

This was also what Qu Baoguo wanted to see. Reaching this point meant half the task was complete; the rest could only rely on the collective punishment system to keep people for now, then slowly cultivate a sense of belonging.

He took the opportunity to ask these Survivors if they were willing to stay here. After Qu Baoguo’s self-validation and experiencing a good group atmosphere, they were naturally willing to stay. Finally, Qu Baoguo had only one last thing left: eating.

This meal was naturally not a normal meal; it was all gruel made from compressed biscuits—the military rations Liang Yu brought.

After all, with so many people, they needed to eat, and this was the only way. Even so, each person could only get a small bowl.

Despite this, many people were already satisfied. They had been chased all night, and among these more than a hundred people, how many had food on them? The vast majority did not. Therefore, this bowl of gruel also increased their goodwill towards Qu Baoguo somewhat.

After eating, Qu Baoguo began to divide them into small teams and assign resting places. As for their tasks, he did not plan to arrange them now.

Considering their current physical condition, after quickly allocating everything, he let them rest.

Brother Wu saw all of this, and at this moment, he felt very uncomfortable. After all, the person who should have been in that position was him, but now it was Qu Baoguo.

Just then, Fifth Master’s hand landed on his shoulder, startling Brother Wu.

As an experienced person, how could Fifth Master not know what he was thinking? But he didn’t expose him; instead, he told him a story.

Qu Baoguo, having finished his tasks, also saw the two of them. He was tactful and didn’t disturb them, returning to his room to continue his work.

Qu Baoguo was studying the map in his room, thinking about what other useful resources might exist in the surrounding areas.

Their supplies were already low, and with so many people joining at once, the food problem had become very severe.

As for water sources, they were fine. There was Liang Yu’s iceberg nearby, so water was very abundant; the only problem was that it couldn’t be drunk directly.

Through their tests, although ice water was very popular in this weather, if you dared to drink it directly, the mildest symptom would be abdominal pain.

So food became their biggest challenge for now.

On the other side, after Brother Wu finished listening to the story told by Fifth Master, his gaze towards the other party changed. At first, it was exceptionally fierce; if someone had been nearby, they could have easily noticed his intent to kill Fifth Master.

But as he listened to Fifth Master’s narration, most of the hostility on him dissipated. Although he still felt unwilling, he also understood that the most important thing at the moment was for everyone to survive together; only by living could they do things later.

So, under Fifth Master’s unique persuasion, Brother Wu temporarily compromised. He promised Fifth Master that he would do his part.

While Qu Baoguo was backstabbing Liang Yu, Liang Yu was still engaged in a sustained battle. The good news was that the number of Zerg had significantly decreased, making it particularly easy to deal with them now.

Liang Yu was so bored at this point that he was yawning. After all, it was just watching the Zerg emerge, his side attacking, killing the Zerg, and then more emerging, repeating this process.

Liang Yu was yawning and wondering whether to use another Satellite strike to sweep away those Zerg. While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a commotion from behind him.

Just then, a gigantic Zerg King flew out from a deep pit on the other side below and came to the side of the General-purpose Star Destroyer.

And from the original pit, the cannon fodder Zerg had stopped emerging, indicating that the enemy had few or none left.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have dispatched this single Zerg King to deal with him, and it seemed the Zerg were very confident in this Zerg King, believing that this one Zerg King alone was enough to wipe out his Sixteen Type and General-purpose Star Destroyer fleet.
