Wasteland: I Awakened A Plant System

On the other side, after clearing out the valuable supplies from Green Wind Shelter’s warehouse the previous day, Vikram prepared to head out again.

Last night, he had received a message from Kashif Ali saying he wanted to purchase another batch of medicine. As soon as Vikram heard that the official shelter was still willing to trade with livestock, he agreed without hesitation. After all, besides the Official Shelter, he hadn’t seen this kind of trade opportunity anywhere else.

The trade with Kashif Ali was scheduled for the afternoon, so Vikram had already made preparations. However, while he was casually checking the chat channel, a message from Lilith suddenly arrived.

[Lilith: Big Boss Vikram~ That Lucky Jewel you asked me to keep an eye out for last time, I actually found one! I wonder when you’ll be free to come and pick it up?]

Vikram was delighted to see that she had actually found a Lucky Jewel. But he quickly grew suspicious.

’It’s just one orb. There’s no need for an offline transaction. It could clearly be traded directly on the market. Why is she asking to meet in person?’

After thinking for a moment, a possibility came to mind: she probably had a favor to ask of him. Or perhaps she had simply grown hungry for his "nourishment" again.

Vikram replied:

[Vikram: Lilith, is there something you need my help with?]

[Vikram: Thanks to you, I got a lot of good things at the last auction. And now you’ve helped me find a Lucky Jewel. Just tell me what you need, I’ll help if I can.]

At the last auction, he had not only gotten great deals but had also spent the night with Lilith, taking her virginity. Vikram wasn’t an unfeeling person, it was only right that he helped her, both emotionally and physically.

Indeed, Lilith seemed to hesitate about revealing the truth in the chat channel. But after thinking it over, she had already given him her virginity, there was nothing left to hesitate about. She replied:

[Lilith: Big Boss Vikram, to be honest, I really do need some help. And only people with over 60 Physique will be useful.]

[Lilith: I need at least 5 such people.]

"Over 60 Physique?"

This level was nothing to Vikram, but in the wasteland world, it was enough to qualify someone as a Director of a small-to-medium shelter. The fact that she was asking for so many high-Physique people clearly indicated a major operation.

Vikram replied immediately:

[Vikram: If it’s just these people, then there’s no problem.]

[Vikram: However, Lilith, could you tell me what exactly needs to be done?]

Crimson Desire Shelter

Lilith was sitting in her office at this moment, seemingly relaxed, but the gloom in her eyes was persistent.

Upon receiving Vikram’s message, her expression eased slightly.

These past two days, she had truly worried herself sick over the Shelter’s affairs.

As the natural disasters gradually descended, the Shelter’s income not only decreased.

After the skirmish with the bugs from the insect eggs a few days ago, Lilith suddenly realized that the original stone Shelter was no longer sufficient.

And given the current situation in the Wasteland, with insect eggs everywhere, the previous method of relying solely on Shelter members to maintain security was clearly unfeasible.

Because stone structures couldn’t even withstand the bugs’ gnawing for ten minutes.

No matter how many Shelter members there were, without sufficiently strong city walls to hold back the poisonous bugs’ attacks, it was like a clever housewife with no rice to cook.

She was now desperately trying to collect various metals to thoroughly upgrade her Shelter’s defensive strength.

In fact, she had quite a lot of metal in her hands.

But don’t forget, her Shelter was an entertainment venue for a large group of Survivors.

Its area was nearly three to four thousand square meters, almost the size of a small city.

With such a large area, upgrading all the city walls to metal was no easy task.

However, through her contacts with other forces, she had indeed gathered the required amount of metal.

Yet, as luck would have it, she didn’t know which spy in the Shelter leaked the news.

Just as she was busy repairing the Shelter these past two days, a large group of unknown Survivors suddenly came to her Shelter to cause trouble.

They even secretly killed many of her subordinates.

The strength of these troublemakers was over fifty, and originally, with the overall strength of her shelter, dealing with these problems would not have been an issue.

However, during the last exploration of the supermarket resource point with the Official Shelter, more than a dozen of her powerful subordinates died, making it impossible to cope now.

Actually, five Survivors with over 50 Physique were only barely enough, and she had also asked other connected Shelters for people.

However, Survivors with over 60 Physique were at least high-ranking members; which Shelter would be foolish enough to let them be used as pawns for others?

In short, it was one thing: asking for supplies was fine, but asking for people was not.

Hearing that Vikram was willing to lend a hand, Lilith’s eyes regained their sparkle. Her impression of him improved even further, and she felt fortunate that her previous gesture of goodwill had been so prescient. Although that "goodwill" had been the gift of her virginity, she didn’t regret it in the slightest.

Even now, whenever she recalled that passionate night, her body would grow warm and her panties would become wet.

She quickly recounted the situation from the past two days to Vikram. What she had thought was another Legendary resource point turned out to be nothing more than dealing with some petty thieves.

[Lilith: Big Boss Vikram, I only need one day to recover. It won’t take up too much of your time.]

[Lilith: As long as Big Boss is willing to help, this humble woman is willing to offer herself to you again~]

Vikram’s lips curved into a mischievous smile. He knew Lilith had grown hungry for him again, so he teased her back.

[Vikram: Don’t try to twist your words. Just say it outright, you want to eat this tender grass, right? Don’t make it sound like I’m the one taking advantage. And don’t worry, this young master will properly nourish this old cow until she becomes young and energetic again.]

[Lilith: Hmph! Stinky little brother, do you know how many people have pursued me without success? Only you have gotten to taste this beauty. And now you dare call me an old cow?]

On the other side of the screen, Lilith puffed out her cheeks and pouted, though a shy smile played on her lips. This stinky little brother is really insensitive... She had already decided, she would show him exactly who was "old and tired" and who was young and full of energy.

[Vikram: Haha, I was just teasing you. You know how much I enjoyed last time. If you want me again, I’ll come satisfy you properly.]

[Lilith: Hmph, we’ll see if you still have the strength after helping me today.]

The help still needed to be given, but the timing was tight. Tomorrow was the day of the natural disaster’s change, so Lilith had to complete the shelter’s repairs today. She needed Vikram’s assistance immediately.

Vikram pondered for a moment. The trade with Kashif Ali would take place at his own territory, and he had a large group of his people stationed at Savage Wolf Shelter. There shouldn’t be any problems. He decided to let Ron and Draco take some of the new members who had just arrived yesterday to handle the trade.

As for him, he would head to Crimson Desire Shelter with Phanty and Fiery.

Official Shelter

"What do you say?"

"Are you sure that kid agreed to the trade?"

In an office room, a man who looked tall and straight but was currently leaning back in his chair like a boss, with his feet propped on the desk, asked.

"No problem, Captain Abhi. Kashif has already taken a group of people to the shelter’s livestock area to select livestock."

"The trading location is still the previous coordinates."

"It’s just..."

Beside him, a man in a uniform, who looked like a junior military officer from the Official Shelter.

"Just what?"

Abhi glanced at the other person sideways, his gaze unfriendly.

The other person dared not look directly at Abhi, quickly lowered his head, and after a long hesitation, said, "It’s just that if we do this, what if that kid is unwilling to trade medicine with us then?"

"After all, in this area, besides the Official Headquarters providing some medicine, there’s no other survivor selling medicine as reliable as that kid."

"Not being able to buy medicine is a minor issue. If our superiors find out the truth and blame us, I’m afraid..."

The officer didn’t finish speaking and had already closed his mouth.

At the same time, he kept complaining internally.

Ever since the Deputy Director’s position changed, their subordinates at the Official Shelter hadn’t had a single day of peace.

Abhi had only been in office for two days, and he had already adjusted various positions within the Shelter several times.

Anyone could see that this Abhi was purely a petty person who didn’t know how to improve the Shelter, only how to fight internally.

However, the Official Headquarters seemed to appreciate such a smile, so they couldn’t say anything.

Today, Abhi was acting up again; he actually wanted to tamper with the livestock that was being traded to that drug dealer.

The crucial thing was that he was looked down upon in the Shelter, and not wanting to be sidelined or secretly dealt with, he could only comply.

"Know what?"

"These days, zombies are everywhere. If our livestock accidentally steps into a puddle with zombie blood during transport, and they happen to have an open wound on their foot, what’s so strange about them getting infected?"

"You can’t blame us for that, can you?"

"Don’t you agree?" As Abhi spoke, his gaze fell on the officer beside him, carrying a strong sense of threat.

"Yes... yes, Captain Abhi!"

"Not strange at all!"

Abhi gave a sinister smile, then waved his hand, "That’s good. Go about your business."

Watching the officer leave the office, the smile on Abhi’s face gradually disappeared.

At the same time, his left hand emerged from under the table.

Horrifyingly, it was completely empty; there was an arm, but the palm was gone.

Looking at the wound that hadn’t fully healed, a hint of madness flashed in Abhi’s eyes.

The phantom limb pain of his missing hand constantly reminded him to seek revenge.

"Vikram, I’d like to see how much longer you can jump around."
