Although the old foxes craved weapons, they knew their limits.

The numbers they reported were just right, never exceeding the boundary.

After everyone finished reporting their numbers, they looked at Li Chen's empty hands and asked uncertainly.

"Mr. Li, aren't you going to write it down?"

Li Chen shook his head and said, "Noah, did you get that?"

Only Noah's voice was heard.

"Recorded. Liu Neng: 120 M416s plus 300 boxes of bullets; Yang Chengyi: 200 AK-103s plus 600 boxes of bullets; Zhao Feilong: 120 Great Swords..."

Li Chen continued amidst everyone's astonished gazes, "Transmit this to the Logistics Team and have them packed immediately."

"Yes."

Noah replied instantly.

President Liu's mouth dropped open, and after a long while, he said, "Artificial intelligence!"

Li Chen nodded, unsurprised, and said, "Let's go. I remember President Liu wanted medicine just now, right?"

"Yes, yes."

President Liu and the others followed behind Li Chen, their steps light.

The Star-Level Shelter was truly wealthy and powerful!

Not only were their supplies abundant, but they also dared to extend credit to them.

After extending credit for weapons, they also extended credit for medicine.

President Liu looked at Li Chen's back and couldn't help but wonder.

Was Li Chen not afraid of them reneging on the deal?

However, this question had just popped up when President Liu answered it himself.

Renege? Did they dare?

The Star-Level Shelter not only had numerous weapons, but its combat personnel were also elites.

Such combat power, saying they could sweep through Donghai City was an understatement.

Moreover, they would need to exchange for more supplies from Li Chen in the future.

Bullets, medicine, food.

They were basically inseparable from Li Chen now.

Anyone who dared to renege would surely be besieged by others!

The medicine was stored on other floors.

They took the elevator to the storage room.

The lights came on.

The storage room was divided into two levels.

The outer section stored medicines available on the market.

From cold medicine to anesthetics, everything was available.

Inside was a cold storage room, which held rare medicines!

"My heavens..."

President Liu couldn't help but exclaim.

This wasn't all the storage the Star-Level Shelter had.

Because when they arrived, President Liu and the others saw.

There were countless identical doors!

Opening any one of them.

Inside were mountains of supplies.

Immediately, President Liu requested 20 boxes each of cold medicine and fever reducers, and 50 boxes of anti-inflammatory medicine.

As for the rest.

President Liu wanted them, but when he thought about having to pay with Energy Cores later.

He immediately shut his mouth.

The price of medicine was much higher than that of firearms.

After all, people get sick.

In an apocalyptic environment like this, if you don't have a gun, you can use a kitchen knife.

But if you don't have medicine, you can only wait to die.

When everyone came out of the storage area.

The Logistics Team had already packed the supplies they needed into boxes.

They were placed on the platform!

As soon as the platform rose, Yang Chengyi and the others could take the boxes directly.

"Have a safe journey, everyone. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Li Chen smiled meaningfully.

Immediately, Yang Chengyi and the others once again patted their chests in assurance.

"Don't worry, when I hunt Zombies and get the supplies, I'll bring them over immediately!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Li, just wait for our good news."

Seeing that everyone was about to get in the car and prepare to leave.

Suddenly, the two classmates following Yang Wei spoke up.

"Li Chen, I want to stay here, is that okay?"

The speaker was a boy with a face full of acne.

Before this, he had been Yang Wei's most loyal lackey.

The acne-faced boy had mustered a lot of courage to say those words.

As his voice fell, another girl also looked at Li Chen with anticipation.

They had all seen the conditions of the Star-Level Shelter.

Not only were the supplies abundant, but the military strength was also powerful.

Living inside was as blissful as stepping into the Garden of Eden!

Yang Wei's expression changed.

He felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.

These two were truly ungrateful!

If he hadn't kindly taken them in, they would probably be in some zombie's stomach by now.

If they were in his own shelter, Yang Wei would have already exploded in anger.

But now they were inside the Star-Level Shelter, on someone else's territory.

To maintain his image, Yang Wei could only say to Li Chen with a grim expression, "Yes, why not let them stay?"

"We are all classmates, we should help each other."

Li Chen's gaze swept over Yang Wei and finally landed on the acne-faced boy, his lips slightly curved.

These two were really interesting.

Did they think he was collecting junk, taking in just anyone?

"Of course you can, but you have to submit an application. You can only stay if you meet the conditions."

"If the application doesn't pass, there's nothing I can do. After all, managing such a large shelter, I can't play favorites."

Hearing these two sentences, the acne-faced boy's face changed.

Nonsense!

If he could pass the application, why would he humble himself to ask?

The acne-faced boy was thinking that no matter what, he was Li Chen's classmate.

Maybe he could use this to get an exception and stay.

By then, relying on the relationship of being Li Chen's classmate, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in the Star-Level Shelter?

But Li Chen's two sentences shattered his hope.

The acne-faced boy immediately flushed red and said discontentedly, "The conditions of the Star-Level Shelter are so strict, how many people can pass?"

Li Chen smiled and called out to Noah.

"How many residents are in the shelter now?"

"Reporting, Commander, there are a total of survivors registered."

Noah's mechanical voice came through.

Li Chen shrugged at Pimple Face: "You heard that, right? At least fifty thousand people meet the criteria now."

Although Li Chen didn't say it, his eyes conveyed his meaning.

The Star-Level Shelter doesn't accept freeloaders!

Pimple Face was so angry he was almost going crazy.

But remembering the cold-blooded and ruthless scene with Li Chen earlier, he managed to restrain himself.

Seeing this, Yang Wei immediately smoothed things over: "It's okay, for a base as large as the Star-Level Shelter, it's understandable to have some conditions."

"You should still come back with me. After all, we've bought weapons now, and we have the ability to protect ourselves."

These words gave Pimple Face and the other girl a way out.

The two immediately said sarcastically,

"Wei Ge is truly loyal, unlike some people, heh heh!"

"Indeed, I didn't misjudge him. If it weren't for Wei Ge, we'd still be killing zombies outside right now. That was just a moment of impulse!"

These two sentences were heard by Yang Wei.

They made Yang Wei frown in disgust.

It felt as if a toad had crawled onto his foot.

But Yang Wei didn't show anything, he just took his two classmates and stood at the back of the line.

"Alright, then we'll be going now."

Yang Chengyi took the supplies and people.

He stood on the platform and waved at Li Chen.

After getting the weapons and getting into the off-road vehicle,

Pimple Face and the other girl started cursing.

They unleashed all the words they hadn't dared to say earlier.

"Li Chen is really something else. As soon as he gets rich, he looks down on people!"

"Exactly! Look at how smug he is. I'd like to see what he can achieve in the apocalypse without the support of old classmates!"
