The Survivor Alliance people arrived at Hai Shan Wei, and the translator, Meng Jie, led them into the city hall.

Rakshasa soldiers armed to the teeth guarded the city hall, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

It wasn't until they entered the central hall that the atmosphere suddenly changed.

In the center was a long dining table, with an array of delicious food and drinks.

Having retaken a city, the lives of these leaders were even better than before the apocalypse.

A Rakshasa man with a big beard came out.

"Hahaha! Zhang, how are you?"

Speaking in a clumsy Qin Han language, this person was the leader of Rakshasa Hai Shan Wei, Rikov.

Rikov used to be in charge of the Hai Shan Wei weapons factory, and now the main engineers responsible for manufacturing weapons were under his command.

It must be said that his luck was really good, because while traveling outside, many engineers were preserved. There weren't many zombies at the weapons factory, so they quickly recaptured it and produced the first batch of weapons.

Then they took in survivors and expanded their ranks.

They also obtained a large amount of supplies through trade with the Wangbei Army, and the production speed recovered quickly.

While restoring production, they recaptured the city, and after more than a month, they finally took back Hai Shan Wei.

However, their current strength made it impossible to continue expanding northward to recapture other cities.

Hai Shan Wei had the advantage of being sparsely populated, making it easier to reclaim, but it also had its downsides.

Few people meant fewer survivors, which also meant lower warfare potential.

Although it might seem like Hai Shan Wei has 100,000 people now, it has almost reached its limit.

However, in the eyes of Zhang Zhijian and others, the strength of Hai Shan Wei was already a giant force.

"Hahaha, Mr. Rikov, it's truly a pleasure to see you again. But this time, I'm here to ask for your help."

"No problem, let's eat first and talk while we eat."

Rikov invited everyone to sit down without asking Zhang Zhijian to introduce the Survivor Alliance leaders.

In his view, these people were not worth knowing.

The food on the table was abundant, with even some mutant fish meat, making those who ate it very happy.

Rikov had a high alcohol tolerance, and after a short while, everyone was a bit tipsy from drinking.

Pang Yong of the Burning Army was the first to speak: "Mr. Rikov, our Burning Army wants to purchase equipment from your army. Could you give us a price list, or tell us what you need?"

Rikov belched: "That depends on what you can offer."

"Our Burning Corps has a large amount of coal."

"Our Wangbei Army can provide steel."

"We can provide food...."

"Our Women's Army doesn't have many good things, but if Mr. Rikov has an interest in men's hobbies, I think we can help."

Hearing the introductions from the Survivor Alliance, Rikov smiled.

He clapped his hands, and two blonde beauties walked over, each carrying a tray.

"The things you mentioned, we at Hai Shan Wei don't lack much. What we mainly need now is these."

When the first tray was opened, it contained a piece of meat.

"Mutant Beast Meat, the more the better!"

Everyone exchanged glances, feeling a bit pained.

Mutant Beast Meat is not easy to obtain. To hunt Mutant Beasts, they often have to venture deep into the mountains, and every hunt costs them soldiers and yields very little.

Moreover, Mutant Beast Meat is highly valuable; it significantly enhances the physical fitness of warriors, making them less prone to illness and stronger.

It's a treasure for every faction, and they were really reluctant to part with it.

But before they could make a decision, the second beauty also uncovered a tray.

Inside was a diamond-shaped crystal.

"What is this?" Some of them had never seen it before.

However, Zhang Zhijian and Pang Yong changed their expressions because they recognized it.

Meng Jie, the translator beside Rikov, said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this thing is called a crystal, extracted from the brains of Level 2 Mutated Zombies. Have any of you seen a Level 2 Mutated Zombie?"

Some shook their heads, while others nodded.

"I'm sure you're all familiar with Level 1 Zombies, but Level 2 Zombies are extremely rare. You all know that zombies are divided into agility and strength types, right? These two Mutated Zombies evolve one more step to Level 2, which we call King Kong and Crawler."

Meng Jie shared a few photos, which were of the King Kong and Crawler.

"It took us sacrificing more than sixty people and damaging an armored vehicle to obtain this crystal. If you want to get arms from us, the main things are these two: crystals and Mutant Beast Meat."

"Mr. Rikov, we don't have such crystals. What are they for?"

Rikov smiled and shook his head, clearly not wanting to say more on this issue.

Meng Jie added: "It's okay if you don't have crystals. Of course, there are also prices for other common materials, but the prices are just relatively low, so don't feel too bad later."

A price list was handed to everyone, detailing the prices of common materials.

The price unit is yuan, although there is no currency now; yuan is just a unit, a measure.

For example, a rocket launcher costs a thousand yuan, meaning the equivalent amount of materials must be provided.

Pang Yong of the Burning Corps was most concerned about the price of coal.

The Burning Corps didn't have much else, but they did have a lot of coal, which was the one thing he could offer.

However, when he saw the price, his face suddenly changed!

Coal is one yuan per ton!

The tank he wanted was priced at three hundred thousand yuan!

With such a huge price difference, even if he emptied Coal City Group, he probably wouldn't be able to exchange it for a few tanks.

His anger surged instantly, Pang Yong slammed the table and stood up.

"This is outright extortion, I will absolutely not agree to this price, I demand an adjustment, coal must be at least one hundred yuan a ton!"

Rikov's face darkened: "You! Get out!"

Pang Yong wasn't one to be trifled with either, he was an evolver after all. Although he didn't have a weapon on him, he was very close to Rikov, so he wasn't really afraid.

He was naturally brash, and at this moment, his anger rose from his heart, his aggression surfaced with the fierceness showing on his face.

"Rikov, you better not get too cocky, for when someone gets too full of themselves, it never ends well. If you piss me off, I'll make sure you have a hard time today...!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Rikov struck!

His enormous body lunged at Pang Yong, unexpectedly fast.

Pang Yong smirked: "If you had a gun, I'd be wary of you, but with your fists, even the former world boxing champion is like a child to me!"

Saying this, Pang Yong threw a punch at Rikov!

But Rikov unexpectedly raised his left hand to block, simultaneously thrusting his right hand toward Pang Yong's chest!

"Watch out!"

Zhang Zhijian shouted, not knowing whom he was warning.

Both of them hit each other almost simultaneously.

Pang Yong's punch had a force close to seven hundred kilograms, powerful enough to kill a cow.

But when it landed on Rikov's arm, it only made him sway slightly.

And Rikov's right hand at this moment emitted a metallic sheen, a punch sending Pang Yong flying, seemingly destined not to survive.

Pang Yong fell to the ground, eyes filled with disbelief.

He couldn't believe that someone could kill him in one move!

Before the apocalypse, his current power would've been enough to conquer the world, how could someone be so strong now?

"You... what kind of evolver are you?"

Rikov sneered: "You'll never know."

Rikov picked up the handkerchief from the table and wiped his hands, he then said to Wang Dashan beside Pang Yong, "I suppose Mr. Zhang Zhijian would appreciate you taking over your leader's position."

Wang Dashan, who was about to help Pang Yong up, suddenly let go.

Indeed, with Pang Yong dead, he would become the leader of the Burning Army, why bother helping him.

Pang Yong lay on the ground, dying with his eyes open.

The atmosphere in the hall was suffocating, no one mourned for Pang Yong, for far too many had died in the apocalypse.

However, on the Rakshasa side, someone cautiously carried out Pang Yong's body, as though it was a treasure, who knows what that meant.

Rikov had shocked them greatly.

Clearly, Rikov's strength surpassed the limits of their understanding.

Not only in military power but also personal prowess.

They were indeed evolvers, but Rikov was clearly far superior, some even noticed Rikov's hand glimmering with a metallic sheen when he struck.

Could evolvers evolve once more?

So what is the secret to evolution?

They didn't know, clearly lagging behind in this aspect.

Lagging behind means getting beaten, but their current major enemy was still the Dawn Army, despite Rikov's brutality, he seemed to have no other intentions towards them.

Subsequent negotiations went much smoother, with the heads of the Survivor Alliance gritting their teeth while signing large orders.

Among them, the Wangbei Army was the most lavish, even coming up with two crystals and several thousand kilograms of mutant beast meat.

And lots of steel, food, rare metals, etc., signing the largest order with the Rakshasa.

Five tanks, twenty armored vehicles, and plenty of mortars, sniper rifles, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and other weapons.

Zhang Zhijian bled heavily, nearly emptying his coffers, he must win the battle against the Dawn Army.

Winning this battle meant wiping out the Dawn Army, Dawn City would become his.

By then, he even intended to swallow up the other alliance members, unifying the entire Huacheng City.

Once Coal City was unified, Ice City would also soon be unified, he couldn't fall behind.

Given such a chaotic world, he needed to seize this opportunity.

Perhaps changing his fate started from this moment.

The purchase contracts were signed, making Rakshasa the biggest winner, obtaining three crystals and many mutant beast meats.

They promised the Survivor Alliance that as soon as the Shenlong River froze, they would transport a large batch of weapons across.

The Survivor Alliance people left, needing to handle transportation of the resources next.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhijian said to Rikov, "Friend, most of your weapon manufacturing raw materials come from me, if my country's battles don't go well, could you offer assistance?"

Rikov smiled: "Why not? We are friends."

Zhang Zhijian laughed heartily.

With Rikov's words, it was enough assurance, but he wouldn't invite Rakshasa to join the battle if it wasn't absolutely necessary.

After everyone left, Rikov went to look at Pang Yong's body.

Pang Yong being an evolver represented another crystal.

Rikov wanted to try and see if with so many crystals in hand, he could further transform and become a true second-level evolver!
