Inside the small restaurant, Zang Pengfei directly arranged for Wen Yu to sit at the main seat, then called everyone to the table.
Dishes were constantly being served, and as Wen Yu looked around at the people, he suddenly noticed something was off.
"Brother Fei, haven't you seen Sun Ruixing?"
Zang Pengfei was busy serving food to Wen Yu. Upon hearing Wen Yu's question, he responded with confusion, "Haven't seen Sun Ruixing either. Wasn't he right beside you, little brother?"
Wen Yu shook his head and didn’t continue discussing the topic. From Zang Pengfei's expression, he could tell that Zang Pengfei wasn’t lying. Sun Ruixing had not returned to the camp and might have encountered some accident after they separated.
But what did that have to do with Wen Yu?
In the apocalypse, accidents could happen at any time. Wen Yu didn’t have the energy to care about what Sun Ruixing was doing. He noticed Sun Ruixing was missing and asked once; if there was no result, then so be it.
He buried his head and focused on the food in front of him.
Most of the dishes were made from stored potatoes, but the cook had some skill. These simple potatoes were turned into eight different flavored dishes.
The most crucial thing was, the portions were substantial!
While listening to Zang Pengfei assigning work to his subordinates and eating, Wen Yu simply set his next plan.
He would head straight forward and pass through Chaihe Town.
There were too many dangers in the mountains; it was better to harvest zombies in nearby small towns or rural areas. Once he reached level three, he would immediately return to Mudanjiang City!
Simba was a thorn in the side of the lone walker! And Wen Yu, was very much tempted by this former overlord of Simba.
"Brother Wen Yu? Brother Wen Yu?"
Zang Pengfei gently nudged the deep-in-thought Wen Yu, interrupting his musings.
"What’s up?" Wen Yu raised an eyebrow.
"I just wanted to mention something and see if Brother Wen Yu could help."
Zang Pengfei noticed Wen Yu was a bit distracted and had to repeat what he just said.
"There used to be two gathering spots in Chaihe Town, and we haven’t checked the other place in a few days. This time, I’d like Brother Wen Yu to take Little Tian and observe the situation there. If they are still alive, merging the two gathering spots would make us safer and speed up our development. This, Brother Wen Yu will definitely need to exert a bit of effort!"
Zang Pengfei said with a hint of meaning in his words.
Wen Yu raised an eyebrow and replied more directly, "If it’s just to take a look, that’s absolutely fine. But if you want me to take action against my own kind, then...”
“Hahaha.”
Zang Pengfei laughed heartily, "Brother Wen Yu, don’t worry, I understand the ways of the world. I won’t let you down!"
Wen Yu smiled and nodded.
Zang Pengfei spoke of merging, but in reality, it was about absorption. Especially after Sun Aotian, three more level two professionals had appeared in the camp, Zang Pengfei’s ambitions were growing!
And Wen Yu was Zang Pengfei's biggest trump card. As long as the benefits offered were sufficient, someone as powerful as Wen Yu would also be willing to lend a hand!
This was the fundamental difference between a lone walker and a power holder.
Of course, it was also a win-win situation! Wen Yu was very much in favor of such matters!
"Alright, tomorrow morning, I’ll have Little Tian find Brother Wen Yu to help investigate the situation."
Seeing Wen Yu nod, Zang Pengfei hesitated and said, "Little brother, still be careful tomorrow. As far as I know, that camp might have guns!"
"Yeah, it’s fine, the threat isn’t big!"
Wen Yu said, then directly walked out of the small restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, Zang Pengfei and his trusted subordinates shifted the topic to Wen Yu.
"Xiao Wen, have you measured it yet?"
Zang Pengfei asked a young woman named Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen took off her glasses and fumbled for a moment before removing a layer of transparent film from the right lens.
