Chapter 626 Collecting the Jade Essence Before Setting Off Again
Chapter 626 Collecting the Jade Essence Before Setting Off Again
But they are indeed able to be self-sufficient now.
Moreover, the outside world had turned into a vast ocean, and in his mind, Chu Chen should be even more lacking in supplies than they were.
So he quickly said, "No need, no need, Brother Chu, we're fine here, we have everything we need."
"Let's leave the limited supplies to those who need them."
Chu Chen was somewhat moved after hearing this, even though they were able to support themselves.
But in this collapsing world, who wouldn't want more supplies?
Chu Chen didn't say much, but secretly made up his mind to leave some for him when he left.
Outside, a flurry of activity unfolded as people gathered and moved jade essence, while Chu Chen and Mo Kan drank tea inside, as if the world had remained unchanged since yesterday, without any apparent problems.
It took two full days for the group of about 10,000 people to completely emerge from the fog.
Outside the mist, bags of jade essence were stacked up.
Some were picked up from small rivers, and some were dug out from the brains of wild animal carcasses.
These people stood motionless outside, waiting for Chu Chen to come out.
As dawn broke, Chu Chen quietly got up and went to the previous council hall. Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he made a thought.
Bags of rice appeared out of nowhere, along with barrels of oil and dried meat and other things that could be preserved for a long time.
Chu Chen finally walked out of the council hall after piling up a huge pile of things.
Then he went to Mo Kan's house and woke him up, who was resting: "Brother Mo Kan, I'm about to leave!"
"Oh, in such a hurry? Let's stay a little longer!"
"No, I have a lot of things to do out there, and people I care about. Thank you this time!"
"We're brothers, so let's not stand on ceremony. Since you insist on leaving, I won't force you to stay. Go!"
After saying that, Mo Kan escorted Chu Chen to the entrance of the mist.
Before parting, Mo Kan held Chu Chen's hand tightly: "Brother Chu, come back and visit often when you have time. If it's really not possible, bring your people and move here!"
"Thank you, Brother Mo Kan, I will definitely come back!"
After saying that, Chu Chen waved to Mo Kan and walked down the mountain.
And Mo Kan closed the gap in the fog once again.
After Chu Chen came down the mountain, he looked at the corpses all over the ground and wondered if these things were edible!
I definitely wouldn't want it myself, but I don't know if it would work if I took it to the transport ship assembly point.
Or, we could go back and find some bad guys to conduct experiments on.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen said a few words to a machine gunner leader, and the machine gunners all sprang into action.
In less than half a day, all the corpses were piled up in front of Chu Chen.
Chu Chen didn't care about anything else and put the beast corpses and the jade essence he had acquired into his spatial storage.
After doing all this, Chu Chen boarded the coast guard ship, packed up Dajun and the other coast guard vessels, and then led them back the way they came.
The journey back was much smoother. After Chu Chen packed up everything, he left only a coast guard ship and a dozen or so soldiers to return.
After determining the direction with a compass, the coast guard ship sailed straight in that direction.
After passing through the fog, they saw their previous transport ship.
Chu Chen did not board the transport ship; he wanted to check out the other rendezvous points to see what the situation was like.
So he simply packed up the transport ship and helicopter, took about twenty soldiers, and sailed in a coast guard vessel toward the assembly point he had seen from the sky.
After walking for about half a day, around noon, they saw a large wooden boat appear in the telescope.
Chu Chen smiled and directed the coast guard ship to head forward.
On the wooden boat, the boat's owner, Wang Tiancheng, was leisurely drinking tea, enjoying the service of two girls who had just been selected from among the refugees.
Wang Tiancheng was a craftsman in Yunbian City. His lifelong dream was to build an indestructible wooden ship.
Moreover, he does have some talent in this area, but unfortunately, Yunbian City has no sea.
So he arranged all his assignments to be done on the Cloud Edge River in Cloud Edge City.
Just as his large wooden boat was nearing completion, divine punishment struck. Suddenly, water surged everywhere, lifting the wooden boat to the surface.
Just as he was secretly delighted that his opportunity had come, he saw the transport ship that Chu Chen had set up.
His excited expression immediately vanished.
The transport ship arrived in Cloudside City and rescued most of the people, so he followed the example of the transport ship and rescued people as well.
But it's not a free rescue; it requires either paying money and food or staying close to him.
So soon after, he gathered a group of thugs and transformed himself from a craftsman into the leader of the ship.
As time went on, he began to consider annexing other ships.
So under his leadership, whenever they encountered small boats, he would instruct his men to use force to bring them into his ranks.
More than half a year later, his team grew bigger and bigger, and gradually took on the shape of the gathering place at this moment.
However, after six months of development, his temperament has also changed significantly.
While others lamented their suffering, he lived a life of unparalleled freedom.
He has an endless supply of food, people to command, and women to provide for his pleasures.
Gradually, he tasted success, and as he put it, "Heroes emerge in troubled times."
And he is this so-called hero.
Gradually, those on the ship, whether they were rescued by him or won over by him, began to suffer greatly.
However, he had manpower, resources, and methods, so these refugees were powerless against him.
They could only watch helplessly as they were exploited.
Just as Wang Tiancheng was enjoying this peaceful moment, one of his men came to his side.
"Your Majesty, a ship is coming!"
"Oh, then let's get rid of him. He's bothering me with such a trivial matter."
"No, Your Majesty, this is a very large one. Please come and see it for yourself!"
"A big guy?" Wang Tiancheng frowned and stood up after hearing this.
After saying that, he followed the directions of his men and came to the bow of the ship.
Then, looking up, they saw a strange ship quietly moored in front of them.
"Who are you, and why have you broken into our base?"
At his command, his men shouted loudly at Chu Chen and his coast guard vessel.
After listening, Chu Chen took out a megaphone and looked at Wang Tiancheng and the others opposite him.
"Is this a gathering place organized by the government, or is it a spontaneously organized event?"
"This is our king's territory, my friend. If you want to pass through here, you must pay taxes."
