Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 490 - 410 out

"Is there another way?" Yafei looked at the stunningly beautiful woman, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course, there’s another way," Gong Yan turned her head to look at the darkness behind her and said softly, "Them."

Seeing is believing.

This was the main reason Gong Yan took the initiative to treat everyone in the cave.

The accounts from Yafei were after all just one-sided, coming from her perspective alone. Only the facts observed through one’s own eyes and ears could truly restore the truth of the matter.

Most of Grey Iron City’s population had long been complaining about the city’s mandatory surgery policy for every individual, and the lack of responsibility taken for any failed operations. The calls to break this policy and restore their peaceful lives were growing louder.

Of course, the ones I asked on the train were those who had bought tickets, and those I asked in this underground cave were all the ones dissatisfied with the policy; the number of those who benefited from the policy was still unknown.

But even if the proportion was small, the existence of these people could not be ignored.

Given the huge base number, it’s clear that not a few people in the city harbor resentment towards this policy. If we could rally these people into a force, then a surprise attack on the city’s limitedly defended armory wouldn’t just be empty talk.

Bullets can easily penetrate flesh, but even a multitude of weapons needs people to use them.

With people, everything becomes possible.

"But they’re too weak," Yafei shook her head, not feeling optimistic, "They can’t even secure the nutrition needed for a normal life, let alone expect them to fight. Unless you’re willing to spend a lot of resources and wait a long enough time, let them regain their health, and train them to be real fighters."

"No," Gong Yan had her personnel gathered, and Dai Lian’s thoughts became clear again, "as long as they can have a full meal, everyone has the courage to give it their all."

As he said this, Dai Lian looked at Yafei with burning eyes, "You said that the ’flame breath’ we obtained after killing the lava monster can be traded for low-grade Stabilizing Repair Fluid, but what if it’s traded for water, food, medicine, and other supplies for them?"

"Two months!" Yafei blurted out, seemingly having calculated this before.

As soon as she spoke, she realized her reaction might seem odd to the others, so she hurriedly explained, "The ’flame breath’ produced by the lava monsters is the only top-tier wealth we might come across. Every time such creatures appear, we consider whether we can kill one on our own to sell for money, so we’ve already calculated what treasures like these could be exchanged for. There are about four or five hundred people here, and a strand of ’flame breath’ will be enough to feed all of us for two months."

"No! That’s not necessary," Gong Yan shook her head, "Our mission is time-sensitive; two months is too long."

"A single bite can’t fatten a person, we can’t possibly condition everyone’s body to perfection with food alone, instantaneously."

"I never said we were counting on their individual qualities, what we need is... numbers."

If four or five hundred people can eat for two months, then what if the time is shortened to one month, half a month... or even a week?

Wouldn’t that mean a thousand people, two thousand people, or even four thousand?

In such a big city, how could there be only this handful of people resisting city policies, surviving by the skin of their teeth?

After some investigation, Gong Yan easily learned that there were more than just this gathering place hiding from city inspections in the city’s periphery. By treating injuries and providing water and food, one might quickly raise a large group of people willing to risk everything once with her as an "army."

"This..." Yafei was stunned by the grand idea of the glamorous older sister in front of her.

Mobilize the city’s entire underground force at once? What grand ambitions.

This was a path Yafei had never considered, and a direction the past her could never have reached.

"So... what do we need to do?" Yafei asked softly.

"Procure enough supplies."

"Too many."

If it were just trading for a bit of Stabilizing Repair Fluid, that would be manageable; a few boxes could be carried all at once, it would be risky, but not too conspicuous.

But if it’s trading for water, food, medicine, the sheer size of the supplies could easily attract covetous eyes.

"When the time comes, I need you to help me."

Only force is the absolute guarantee for such dangerous behavior.

"No problem," Dai Lian agreed immediately. Stay connected through novelbuddy

"Additionally, I need you to help investigate the defense forces near the armory, as well as all the forces and the surrounding terrain environment that may be involved in this action. If possible, get another batch of weapons as well. If funds are tight, we can appropriately reduce some food and medicine supplies."

Even ordinary handguns are better than nothing.

"Okay, I’ll try."

Yafei nodded in agreement, feeling a rush of excitement at the prospect of working under such formidable leadership.

Having grown up in this shitty city for so long, she had long been irked by those awful things. Now, with the chance to challenge such detestable rules, her body was trembling with excitement.

Watching Yafei’s petite figure disappear back into the darkness, Kuang Xin and Dai Lian turned as if they didn’t know each other and stared together at Gong Yan, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Why look at me like that?" Gong Yan’s face always bore that gentle, water-like smile, "While treating them earlier, I gathered some information. I think if we need to, we might be able to make use of them."
