“Sure!”
This matter was also beneficial to him. Just like in Peace Town, Zhao Yu could exchange for gasoline whenever he wanted, unlike now, where he had guns but no gasoline. He had to run far away if he wanted to exchange for gasoline.
Of course, at the current stage, with their limited power, resources like gasoline, which are scarce, would likely only be accessible to people like Meng Xian. Other smaller forces might not be able to afford it.
But the future held promise!
“Secondly, although we are allies, we are still independent of each other…”
“So, I think, each side should defend its own territory and not interfere in each other s internal affairs and foreign relations…”
Meng Xian was well aware of the rules of the wilderness. Such cooperation between villages and fort usually meant incorporation into the fort.
The stronger would eventually absorb the weaker, but she didn’t want that.
“Okay!”
To her surprise, Zhao Yu agreed so readily, rendering many of her prepared arguments unnecessary.
Zhao Yu didn’t need to say anything; he didn’t have extra troops to help defend Meng house village.
As for the idea of absorption, he wasn’t interested. The people of Meng house village were not as useful as those from Wild Wolf Town.
Meng Xian was momentarily at a loss for words, forgetting the other points she had thought of.
After a moment, she continued, “Thirdly, I heard that your side is collecting gasoline?”
“That’s right!”
“If possible, we’d like to exchange it for weapons from you…”
“That’s no problem at all!”
Zhao Yu was delighted. He was short on oil and didn’t have the resources or manpower to find it.
Having Meng Xian’s group of enhancers help was a perfect solution to his energy scarcity problem.
With the most important matters settled, the rest was mainly about dividing the territory.
They agreed that the eastern gate would be the boundary, with the north side belonging to Meng house village and the south to Zhao Yu, with no interference between them.
Other minor issues were also discussed, but nothing of great importance.
“Happy to cooperate…”
Meng Xian shook hands with Zhao Yu, feeling that the negotiation had been too easy.
She had thought it would be a tough negotiation, but Zhao Yu was surprisingly agreeable.
With this, she recalled being left waiting initially and wondered if it wasn’t intentional by Zhao Yu, but as he said, he had just returned?
If that was the case…
Meng Xian’s initial efforts dissipated, and she began to see Zhao Yu in a better light. Dressed in military uniform, he seemed much more impressive than when they first met.
Especially when commanding the soldiers, he exuded a masculine charm she hadn’t seen in others.
It’s just a pity he’s not an enhancer…
Meng Xian shook her head, dispelling the stray thoughts in her mind, and was about to stand up and leave when suddenly someone came running over in a hurry.
“Head, there’s trouble…”
Meng Xian turned her head and saw Xiao Liu was running towards them.
The soldiers by Zhao Yu’s side reacted immediately.
Various guns were pointed in that direction, especially the machine guns carried with the vehicles, which were already spinning into readiness, prepared to fire at any moment.
Xiao Liu was startled and quickly stopped in his tracks.
Meng Xian knew this was a misunderstanding and explained, asking Xiao Liu to approach slowly.
Xiao Liu then approached at a normal pace.
“What’s happened?!”
“People from Black Rock City have come!”
“What?!”
Meng Xian was alarmed and quickly inquired about the situation.
Zhao Yu also was wondering what these people from Black RockCity were doing here.
Xiao Liu glanced at Zhao Yu and said, “They are from the Han family, one of the four major families of Black Rock City. They’re here to meet village head and Commander Zhao!”
“Me?!”
Zhao Yu was not expecting people from Black Rock City to come looking for him.
Meng Xian’s expression changed, and she turned to Zhao Yu, explaining, “The background of Wild Wolf Town is the Han family…”
“The Han family?!”
Zhao Yu was unfamiliar with the powers of Black Rock City and curiously asked, “What is the Han family?”
Meng Xian didn’t bother to mock Zhao Yu’s ignorance and quickly explained, The Han family is one of the four major families of Black Rock City…” “Black Rock City was originally established by these four families…” “They can be said to be the upper echelons of Black Rock City…” “Just the Han family’s army alone boasts three thousand soldiers, all well-trained and ruthless elites…”
“Three thousand?!”
Just the Han family had three thousand soldiers, so what about the four families combined – wouldn’t that be twelve thousand?
And these were just the soldiers, not including the enhancers and the city’s combat teams?!
However, considering it was the apocalypse and each city had its own ruler, having private armies of over ten thousand wasn’t unusual.
“How many of them are there?” Meng Xian, having finished informing Zhao Yu, quickly turned to Xiao Liu to ask.
“A hundred people, under the banner of the Han family’s army…”
“Phew, looks like they aren’t here to wipe us out!” Meng Xian breathed a sigh of relief.?? °
With the number of people he had, plus the gunmen from Meng house village, If the Han family were coming to annihilate them, they wouldn’t have sent just a hundred people.
So, were they coming to negotiate?
“Let’s go and meet them!”
After saying this, Zhao Yu quietly gave an order to the division commander at his side.
Ever since he knew that all the commanders could communicate and issue orders to other soldiers through a brain chip, he had been keeping the commander close by.
However, as the sergeant commander’s rank was relatively low, his ability to send signals outward was weak, and he needed the cooperation of three other commanders to lead the entire team.
Zhao Yu and his group hurried to the eastern gate..
