Zhao Yu had his men unload the firearms.

Eagle and his men inspected each gun and found that every one of them was brand new, just as Zhao Yu had said.

Thank you, Centurion Zhao

There was nothing wrong with the weapons, Eagle breathed a sigh of relief, feeling he had been too suspicious.

But he couldnt help it; with Meng Xian absent, he was the acting leader and responsible for the entire camp.

About the trade

Zhao Yu smiled and had his men load the four barrels of gasoline onto the truck.

Eagle understood that Zhao Yu wasnt here to cause trouble and dismissed most of the gunmen who were there just for show, keeping only about ten.

Having completed their first trade, Eagle felt excited, sensing potential business opportunities through Zhao Yu.

Centurion Zhao, what else might you need?

Zhao Yu stroked his chin, currently most in need of petroleum and ammunition.

With ammunition, his mortars, rocket launchers, and others could be put to use.

Of course, it wasnt appropriate to directly purchase ammunition so Zhao Yu planned to start with raw materials.

Did you find your gasoline in the old city?

We found it in the old city, but its hard to come by. Sometimes we get lucky, other times we might not find anything for days

Do you have sulfur or pota.s.sium nitrate?

Sulfur, pota.s.sium nitrate?!

Eagle scratched his head, turned to his men, and asked, Do any of you know what these are?

Everyone shook their heads without exception.

They had heard of them but didnt know what they looked like or where to find them.

Zhao Yu tried a different approach, What about fireworks or firecrackers?

Fireworks, firecrackers

Eagle recalled for a moment and nodded, There are such things in the old city, but we dont have any

The power of firecrackers is too small

Although they knew firecrackers were similar to explosive bomb, who had the skill to modify them into bomb?

A thought struck Eagle, Centurion Zhao, your Re Zhao Corporation wouldnt be short of ammunition, right?

Of course!

Zhao Yu smiled, 1 have a friend whose kid is having a birthday soon, thought of getting him some fireworks to play with

A kids birthday?!

Eagle and the others exchanged glances, thinking how extravagant these big shots were, still caring about such things and even having so-called birthday parties.

He suddenly realized he was overthinking. Zhao Yu didnt need to recycle fireworks for ammunition; it must be for his patron, likely wanting to use them to flatter at the kids birthday party.

Eagle remembered what Meng Xian had told him before she left, Centurion Zhao, can we count on a long-term use of this electricity?

Of course, even on cloudy days, it will generate electricity as usual

Im worried that if you get promoted, the new officer might not supply us with electricity?

Promoted?!

Zhao Yu paused for a moment, then shook his head, 1 probably wont be leaving here anytime soon

Good news!

Eagle nodded to himself, having gotten some valuable information.

Zhao Yu felt it was about time to wrap up, I had hoped to get promoted and move to the headquarters sooner, but it seems 111 have to develop in this area for now

He sighed, appearing regretful he couldnt go to the headquarters.

Eagle immediately stepped forward to comfort him.

Zhao Yu stopped his act, Since Ill be stationed here for a while, its necessary to deal with local forces. I dont understand the situation in this area very well

Local forces?!

Eagle inwardly scoffed, thinking Zhao Yu himself was from this area.

But he believed Zhao Yus words, as Zhao Yu hadnt contacted them or even revealed his name until recently.

It was obvious he had initially planned to get promoted and leave, not deigning to deal with them. But now, realizing he couldnt get promoted and had to stay, he started planning to make money.

Judging by Zhao Yus disappointed expression upon hearing they only had 200 liters of gasoline, Eagle guessed he had many more weapons to sell, and was inquiring about other camps because his camp couldnt absorb them all.

Hawkeye thought to himself, guessing Zhao Yu probably didnt have that much influence on his own and was likely acting for higher-ups.

However, he didnt see anything wrong with it; these new guns might not even be available in the city, so getting them directly from Zhao Yu was already great.

Maybe in the future, they would even dare to sell machine guns!

Eagle felt a surge of excitement. If they got machine guns, their camps combat power would increase significantly.

Go, get the map we worked so hard to obtain from our camp

Eagle turned to a young man at his side and winked.

The young man, recently promoted by him, was clever and understood his intentions just by his gaze.

Lord Eagle, our camps map is a crucial resource. If the leader Meng finds out

Shut up, Im acting as the leader now, just go get it!

Eagle feigned anger as he spoke.

The young man hesitated for a moment before leaving.

Zhao Yu thought for a while and then said, How about this, 111 pay for a copy of the map?

All?!

Eagle was visibly surprised and quickly said, Flow can that be, youve just helped us and even provided us with electricity

Five thousand Black Stone coins, how about that?!

Zhao Yu casually suggested, and seeing the look of joy on Eagles face, he nodded and took a rifle and a pistol from one of his soldiers and handed them over.

How can 1 accept this

Eagle said modestly, but his actions were sincere as he took both guns and handed them to the young man beside him, clearly treasuring them.

Zhao Yu finally saw the map of Meng House Village.

It was hand-drawn, but it covered a wider range, about two hundred kilometers in diameter. However, many areas were blank, with the marked points mainly located near the west.

The largest marked point was Black Stone City, located more than a hundred kilometers to the west.

Eagle became more enthusiastic and began to introduce Zhao Yu to the map.

This is Black Stone City, established by the four big families. Its said to have connections with many large groups

It has quite a few factories capable of manufacturing guns. Most of the guns circulating in our area come from Black Stone City

Zhao Yu focused mainly on the shelters nearby, which they hadnt marked, only noting a chemical plant.

However, about twenty to thirty kilometers west of the chemical plant, there was a force marked as Wild Wolf Town.

He didnt rush to ask questions but followed Eagles introduction to learn about other forces on the map.

The hierarchy of power, from low to high, is village, manor, fort, town. This is the unwritten rule in the wilderness

The name reflects the size of the power. If one dares to call themselves a town without sufficient strength, it attracts aggression from others

Eagle gave a brief introduction and then pointed to a place marked as Black Wind Stronghold a fort on the eastern side of the map.

His expression grew serious as he said, Recently, I heard that Black Wind Stronghold was wiped out. Its leaders either died or fled

Although they had fewer enhancers than us at Meng House Village. But their overall strength was much stronger than ours, yet they were completely destroyed

He seemed somewhat reflective, shaking his head and sighing, 1 guess it might be related to Black Wind Stronghold claiming to be a fort without sufficient strength, provoking other powerful forts, leading to its destruction

The young man beside him quickly added, Yes, their leader was too ambitious. If they had just renamed it to Black Wind Manor, all would have been well, right?!

Zhao Yu, upon hearing this, couldnt help but touch his nose. It seemed that Black Wind Stronghold was the one he had destroyed.

However, he didnt explain and continued to listen..
