Chapter 108: The Survivors of Dragon Mountain

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The strategic reserve warehouse was located deep inside Dragon Mountain.

This kind of place was unknown to ordinary people; only those in special positions had a faint idea of its existence.

Originally, the supplies reserve warehouse of Dragon Mountain was sealed by a large iron gate. However, when Gao Junyi, Bai Tianyu, and the others arrived, they saw that the large iron gate had been forcefully broken open, revealing a deep tunnel inside.supplies reserve warehouse

There were people at the entrance, two vigilant male survivors.

When they saw Gao Junyi and the others, one of them immediately retreated into the tunnel, while the other stayed far away and gestured for them to stop.

Gao Junyi raised his hands high and signaled Bai Tianyu and the others to stop. He walked forward slowly, saying, “Brother, we’re from the official side. We don’t have any ill intentions and don’t want anything from you. We just wanted to ask if you need our help.”

His gentle tone and chubby face, coupled with the fact that it was unclear if his official ident.i.ty was real or fake, could indeed lower others’ guard.

Gao Junyi made the man look much more relaxed.

The man said, “Well, you’ll have to wait until our Sister Rose arrives. Is that okay?”

Gao Junyi smiled and nodded, “Sure, can we wait here?”

Five minutes later, a group of people walked out of the tunnel.

At the forefront was a woman with short hair, looking heroic and spirited.

The woman was under thirty, dressed in a sleeveless white vest and jeans.

This attire perfectly accentuated the woman’s curvaceous figure.

What was even more eye-catching was the tattoo on her arm—a large tattoo that seemed to cover the woman’s upper body, and a corner of the tattoo on her exposed arm depicted several deep red roses.

“No wonder he called her Sister Rose.”

As Gao Junyi thought of this, the smile on his face widened.

This was because he could tell that this woman was likely the leader here. From Sister Rose’s spirited appearance, this person must be a rather powerful

Awakened!

“h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo.”

Gao Junyi smiled as he slowly walked forward. Before he could introduce himself, Sister Rose’s voice rang out, “I know you, Mayor Gao, right?”

“Yes, yes, that’s right.”

Gao Junyi appeared frequently on the local news broadcasts before the apocalypse, so it was not strange for Sister Rose to recognize him.

“So all of you are officials?”

Rose Sister asked, crossing her arms and sizing up Gao Junyi while glancing at Bai Tianyu and the others behind him.

This was a somewhat impolite gesture but Gao Junyi did not mind. As a politician, he naturally had to be willing to give up his dignity.

“Yes.”

Sister Rose’s expression turned serious as she pointed behind her.

“Theoretically speaking, this place should be the country’s strategic supplies reserves warehouse. Now that I’ve taken over this place, what does the official side think?”

Gao Junyi’s expression was also serious, “According to the national emergency evacuation principle, there’s nothing wrong with what you’ve done here. I can represent the official side to give Sister Rose a definite answer: We’re really not here for the supplies inside.”

Sister Rose’s expression instantly eased.

As a Level 4 Awakened herself, with nearly ten Level 2 and Level 3 Awakened under her, without this warehouse of supplies, just finding food would be very tough for them.

At this moment, Gao Junyi’s words instantly removed any potential irreconcilable conflict between the two sides—as long as you don’t touch my food, I acknowledge your official ident.i.ty!

If you touch my food, we’ll have to settle it another way…

In short, the initial contact was quite smooth.

Sister Rose’s demeanor changed from sarcastic to friendly, and she smiled and said, “Then let’s come in and talk? By the way, you haven’t had lunch, right?”

Gao Junyi smiled and rubbed his stomach, “Then we won’t stand on ceremony.”

The stockpile of supplies in the strategic reserve warehouse was astonis.h.i.+ng.

They walked nearly a hundred meters through the tunnel before reaching the heart of the warehouse.

Sister Rose did not let Gao Junyi and the others see the stored supplies, to avoid causing envy or any additional trouble.

She led everyone all the way to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was brightly lit—there was an independent power supply.

As Gao Junyi, Bai Tianyu, and the others sat down, Sister Rose took the opportunity to sit at the head of the table.

Gao Junyi began to liven up the atmosphere.

And soon, he broke the ice.

The dishes were served very soon—steamed buns, wild vegetables, and some vacuum-packed cooked food.

In the apocalypse, this was already a decent meal.

However, everyone refrained from eating too much—because it was very easy to gauge an Awakened one’s level from his appet.i.te. At the moment, they had yet to discuss more specific matters, so it was not wise to reveal their strength prematurely.

When they were almost done eating and drinking, Gao Junyi wiped his mouth and kept beating around the bush without getting to the point. This made Sister Rose sigh softly, “Mayor Gao must have come to me for something, right? Let’s not keep me in suspense. I’m a straightforward person. 1 hope Mayor Gao can get to the point.”

Gao Junyi chuckled, “Then I’ll be frank. I came here for someone.”

Sister Rose frowned and seemed very nervous, “Who is it?!”

From the corner of his eye, Gao Junyi could see that the few residents accompanying her also showed a hint of nervousness.

This made his heart skip a beat, but he maintained his composure, and said, “Chang Yi.”

The nervousness on everyone’s faces immediately eased, “Chang Yi, this lunatic isn’t dead yet?”

“Ha, pfft.”

Another burly man spat on the ground in disgust, apparently repulsed by the person named Chang Yi.

His various acts did not seem fake, and Gao Junyi immediately knew what was going on.

He continued, “Chang Yi, that lunatic, is already dead.”

Duan Mei’s eyes narrowed as she heard Gao Junyi continue, “Chang Yi wanted to take over our official shelter, but he was crushed to death by the strongest person on our side.” As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a pinching gesture, “It was like crus.h.i.+ng an ant.”

Before the people of Dragon Mountain could react, Gao Junyi added, “Oh right, Chang Yi was already Level 5 at that time. Before his death, he said he was guided to the Black Mist to achieve an advancement by an organization called the Dragon Mountain Hidden Cultivators Society. So we came here to take a look.”

After saying that, Gao Junyi narrowed his eyes and said, “I’m here for this purpose.”

Gao Junyi was well-versed in using both soft and hard tactics.

He started with the soft approach to dispel their guards.

After confirming that they had no feelings towards Chang Yi, he decided to tell them the truth and give them a little shock about Brother Lu.

With this dual approach, Gao Junyi had effectively taken the initiative in the conversation.

Duan Mei and the others had indeed been manipulated.

Because Chang Yi had indeed been here.

And they were well aware of Chang Yi’s uniqueness.

A Level 4 Chang Yi was already very difficult to deal with. Thinking back to the power struggles at that time, all the survivors of Dragon Mountain present had lingering fear – at that time, one wrong move and this place would have been destroyed.

Yet, the official side claimed that Chang Yi had successfully advanced to Level 5, but was still under their control. This display of power was something Dragon Mountain could not contend with.

After a long silence, Duan Mei let out a long sigh.

“What do you want to know?”
