Post-apocalyptic World: Stockpile Ten Billion Supplies at the Beginning

Chen Luo smiled lightly as he tapped the list a few times. “I really like this grilled fish and the big prawns too.”

Lin Tian immediately understood. “Big Brother Chen, I’ll have all the stock of these two items sent to you right away.”

Chen Luo laughed heartily, patting Lin Tian on the shoulder. “You’ve got a good eye, young man.”

Lin Tian smiled awkwardly. “I’m just a newcomer. I hope Big Brother Chen will take good care of me.”

Chen Luo chuckled. “Of course, of course. Spread the word: anyone who opposes Lin Tian is opposing me.”

Chen Guang was dumbfounded. This couldn’t be true, could it? Big Brother, this kind of statement doesn’t sound like something you would say.

While his big brother was ruthless, he was also someone who kept his word. These seafood items were valuable, but was it necessary to make such a promise?

Others also looked at Chen Luo in astonishment, even Zhao Hai, who had a good relationship with Chen Luo, had never heard him make such a declaration before.

Lin Tian was overjoyed; making such an investment paid off, and he successfully aligned himself with a powerful figure.

He slapped his forehead suddenly. “I almost forgot to give something to Big Brother Chen.”

“Bring it here.”

Two of Lin Tian’s underlings walked in, each carrying a green-black turtle shell.

The turtle shells were quite large, about one meter long and half a meter wide.

Lin Tian handed one to Chen Luo, saying, “Big Brother Chen, these turtle shells are incredibly sturdy. Even fourth-tier ability users would find it difficult to break them. I had to exert a lot of effort to kill a few giant sea turtles and obtain their shells.”

“It might not be very useful for you, but it could serve as a valuable collectible or decoration.”

Chen Luo’s eyes lit up as he looked at the turtle shell.

This was an excellent shield.

Its physical and magical defense capabilities were truly astonishing.

Chen Luo called over a fourth-tier fire elemental member and instructed him to attack the turtle shell. The result? The turtle shell only showed faint marks and some cracks. It would take dozens of similar strikes to break it.

With two fourth-tier ability users, one with a shield, their advantage was overwhelming.

Lin Tian exclaimed, “Big Brother Chen, your strength is truly formidable. Just any member you pick has fourth-tier abilities.”

Chen Luo didn’t respond and turned to Shu Yun. “You try.”

Shu Yun nodded and conjured a large ice arrow, fully ready to test the turtle shell’s durability.

Lin Tian found it difficult to obtain, but was it really a problem for Chen Luo?

While Chen Luo didn’t need the item personally, for Mi Li and Mi Ling it could still be useful. It could provide excellent protection for his members. Considering each piece was worth two hundred points, retrieving these items from his members’ possession wouldn’t be an issue.

He could also trade them with other survivors from his team for high-grade crystals they might find.

Chen Luo contemplated the idea of taking a trip to the seaside.

Even if there was danger, he could escape easily.

Chen Luo said, “Xiao Tian, how about taking me to your base to have a look?”

Lin Tian: ???

Lin Tian felt a bit perplexed, but when this influential figure, Chen Luo, suddenly expressed interest, could he really refuse?

Others were equally baffled. Chen Luo seemed to be favoring Lin Tian quite a bit. Was this young man particularly favored by their leader?

With Chen Luo’s command, Lin Tian had no choice but to take Chen Luo on a tour.

Lin Tian’s base was located in a cluster of houses on the outskirts, with a small population of just over two hundred people.

Following Chen Luo’s signal, Lin Tian reluctantly gathered everyone.

Lin Tian shouted, “This is the super big shot, Big Brother Chen. Address him as ‘Big Brother’.”

All of Lin Tian’s people shouted in unison, “Big Brother.”

Chen Luo had a smile on his face as he scrutinized everyone, noticing quite a few “old acquaintances” among them.

He patted Lin Tian’s shoulder. “If anyone bullies you, mention my name. But try not to bully others, alright?”

Lin Tian nodded incessantly.

He had truly aligned himself with a powerful figure.

Back at the base, Chen Luo said, “I’m going to the place Lin Tian mentioned to collect some turtle shells. You all stay home.”

Xia Haoran asked, “Big Brother, should I come with you?”

Chen Luo shook his head. “No need.”

When danger arose, Chen Luo could escape, but the others might not be so lucky. It was better not to bring them along. He could handle it himself, even if it meant a bit of extra effort.

Chen Luo decided to leave the rice at home. As for Thunderbolt King, he didn’t bring him either, letting Thunderbolt King spend more time with Silver wolf.

“They are in their honeymoon period,” Fa Li reminded with concern.

Chen Luo smiled, “Don’t worry, no one born yet can take my life.”

Driving alone, Chen Luo headed towards the southern city, the car stereo blaring music loudly. Chen Luo sang along.

It didn’t take long for him to encounter a group of bandits.

“Get out of the vehicle,” one of them demanded.

Chen Luo was alone, and in the post-apocalyptic world, almost everyone had turned into bandits.

The bandit leader seemed to recognize Chen Luo and was instantly terrified.

“Y-yes, yes, Leader Chen, my apologies, I didn’t recognize you,” he stammered, visibly shaken.

Chen Luo glanced at him but didn’t stop. They had acknowledged their mistake; there was no need to escalate the situation further.

Chen Luo sighed, wondering why so many people seemed to recognize him. He found it hard to keep a low profile.

“I can’t even pretend to be impressive anymore!”

One of the bandits said, “Big Brother, he’s just one person. What are you afraid of?”

The bandit leader slapped him directly, “Can the leader of the big base be weak? He might even be fifth-tier. Do you have any guts, daring to rob him?”

The smaller bandit widened his eyes in shock. Fifth tier? That was incredibly powerful.

Two kilometers down the road, under a barren tree, stood a person. Upon seeing Chen Luo approaching, they raised their eyes, glowing with a reddish light, and blocked Chen Luo’s way.

Chen Luo squinted his eyes and came to a stop.

It was a zombie.

This zombie surprisingly managed to open the car door on its own. Once inside the vehicle, it spoke in a cold, sinister tone.

“Behave yourself, or I’ll crack your spine.”
