I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 262 - 242: Is He Courting Death?

When One-Eyed Tiger and Xu Bin heard Lu Feng's name, they exchanged stunned glances.

'This guy sure is ambitious.'

But he wanted to go after their boss, and he came to them for help?

'Is this guy crazy?'

Li Kai clearly noticed their expressions. He smiled and said, "I know this comes as a surprise. We're talking about the East Suburb Fortress, territory of the City East Alliance. Even if you managed to take it, you wouldn't dare occupy it. If you angered the City East Alliance, you'd be finished."

Li Kai continued confidently, "But don't worry, I'm not asking you to attack the East Suburb Fortress. All you need to do is enter the East Suburban Area and cause some chaos—destroy crops, for instance. Just enough to force the fortress to send people out to deal with you."

"Once the people from the East Suburb Fortress are drawn out, I'll personally handle killing Lu Feng. When it's done, I'll take control of the fortress."

"You'll be well-rewarded. I can give you weapons, supplies, food. We could even cooperate long-term."

"Uh..." One-Eyed Tiger was a little dumbfounded. 'This whole routine feels so familiar... Isn't this just like what Mr. Lu did?'

'But this guy has no idea that I'm already Mr. Lu's man.'

Xu Bin, who knew Li Kai's identity, deliberately spoke up. "Are you so sure you can take control of the East Suburb Fortress?"

Li Kai smiled confidently. "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Kai, of the City East Alliance's Li Family. The East Suburb Fortress falls under my family's control. Once Lu Feng is dead, do you really think I won't be able to take over?"

Hearing this, Xu Bin feigned a look of sudden realization. "I see. In that case, we'll take the job. But you have to give us some time. We have other matters to attend to. We'll let you know when we're ready to move."

Li Kai heard the masked man speak and glanced at One-Eyed Tiger, clearly questioning whether the man had the authority to make that decision.

"I agree with everything he said," One-Eyed Tiger said immediately.

With that confirmation, Li Kai smiled. "Here's to a successful partnership."

'And just like that, it's settled.'

'Now I just have to wait for One-Eyed Tiger to finish his business and help me lure away Lu Feng's men.'

After that, Li Kai didn't stay long. He hurriedly left Shangya Town and returned to the East Suburb Fortress.

After he left, One-Eyed Tiger looked at Xu Bin, confused. "Why did you agree? We could have just taken care of him."

Xu Bin explained, "You saw how strong he is. Even you aren't his match. Who knows what other aces he has up his sleeve? If we had forced a fight and failed to kill him, our cover would be blown."

"So, it's better to placate him for now and let the Boss deal with him. I was stalling for time to wait for the Boss's orders."

One-Eyed Tiger finally nodded.

...

Lu Feng and Lin Jiao arrived at the edge of the western Desert Zone in the East Suburb.

It was called the Desert Zone because the City East Alliance had never neutralized the soil's acidity here. Nothing could grow, and after all the original vegetation withered away, only a barren wasteland remained.

As Lu Feng surveyed the area, he could still see rotting tree stumps. This place must have been a dense forest before the apocalypse.

But now, thanks to the acidic soil, the trees had all withered and died.

Lin Jiao was testing a patch of soil with a special instrument.

Guo Zhen had already directed his men to dig a pit, which they were now filling with water. They tossed in some materials and began to stir.

Nearby, others carried buckets of the mixture to irrigate the soil, neutralizing its acidity.

After a while, Lin Jiao returned, her face alight with a pleasant surprise. She held up her instruments and reported to Lu Feng, "Boss, the materials you brought can neutralize this soil and meet the requirements for cultivation! It's just... the two bags you brought can probably only neutralize around four acres."

"As long as it works, that's what matters," Lu Feng instructed Lin Jiao. "Go back and have a secret warehouse prepared."

"Yes, Boss." Lin Jiao knew exactly what he meant. 'This has to be kept secret from the Li Family.'

After that, Lu Feng followed Lin Jiao to a secret warehouse in the East Suburb Fortress.

This warehouse was in the western part of the East Suburb Fortress.

Normally, survivors from the base weren't allowed near here. It was protected only by the combat personnel assigned to guard it.

Lu Feng instructed Lin Jiao to keep everyone away. Then, with a single thought, he exited the game world and reappeared in the real-world warehouse.

Then he donned his mecha and began moving the materials from the warehouse into the game world.

Aided by the mecha, moving all these materials wasn't the least bit tiring for Lu Feng.

It took some time, but he eventually moved all the materials from inside and around the real-world warehouse into the game, filling several of the game's warehouses to the brim.

He then called for Lin Jiao and put her in charge of the materials.

Lin Jiao's face was a mask of pure joy when she saw the warehouses filled with materials.

With all these materials, they could reclaim a huge amount of land for cultivation.

Once they planted the first wave of crops, they just had to hold out a little longer. Then, Qingfeng Base would be completely self-sufficient for a good while, at least until it grew to a certain size.

'I knew it,' she thought. 'Once the Boss asks about something, he always delivers in huge quantities.'

'But this is different. These materials can neutralize the soil's acidity. They make it possible to grow crops on barren land!'

In this post-apocalyptic world, there was nothing more precious.

Just then, the walkie-talkie on Lin Jiao's belt crackled to life.

It was an internal communicator, tuned to a special channel. Only a few members of the base's high command had the password and could contact each other on it.

"Conductor Lin, is the Boss there?" Xu Bin's voice crackled through the speaker.

Lin Jiao immediately looked at Lu Feng and handed him the walkie-talkie. "Boss."

Lu Feng spoke directly into the device. "Go ahead."

Xu Bin's voice came through immediately: "Boss, Li Kai from the Li Family found One-Eyed Tiger's base. He wants to team up with him to go after you. His plan is to kill you and take control of the East Suburb Fortress."

"Team up with One-Eyed Tiger to kill me?" Lu Feng was stunned. 'Does this guy have any idea how stupid that is?'

...

「Meanwhile.」

Li Kai returned to the East Suburb Fortress at top speed. The first thing he did was find Zheng Lin and say, "We've been in the East Suburb Fortress for a while now. It's time to make our move."

"Make our move?" Zheng Lin was taken aback.

Li Kai said coldly, "I've already made a plan. I'm working with One-Eyed Tiger to go after Lu Feng and create an opportunity to assassinate him. When the time comes, you're to join me in taking him down."

"???" Zheng Lin froze.

'He's made a plan?'

'And he's working with One-Eyed Tiger?'

'Is the man suicidal?'
