Yang Xiao smiled slightly and patted Zhao Gang’s shoulder,
"They are just minor soldiers and shrimp. The real tiger is Xie Jun. After this war, Xie Jun’s Qi is greatly hurt and won’t covet us for a while. These ordinary soldiers are also lives; didn’t we have a policy of treating prisoners favorably before?"
In the post-apocalyptic world, the human population is already very low; preserving a life could be considered a contribution to the survival and proliferation of humanity. Otherwise, if all the people on Earth were dead, what would be the aning of one person living?
Xia Luo nodded in agreent with Yang Xiao’s approach.
The seriously injured personnel of Xie Jun thought they would not escape death, but unexpectedly received Yang Xiao’s pardon, and imdiately felt extrely grateful, clamoring to stay and serve under Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao and Xia Luo consulted and decided not to temporarily admit outsiders into the two schools, firstly for fear of spies and secondly for difficulty in managent.
Regarding the deceased from Xianan University and Kongming Academy, everyone transported them back to their respective campuses for several days of funerals.
During the collective funeral at Kongming Academy, Xia Luo brought Zhou Qiang and others over, and they bowed three tis to express their condolences.
"Yang Xiao, I, Xia Luo, owe you a life, and Xianan University owes you. If you need anything, we’re ready to assist at any mont."
"Don’t say it like that; we are now comrades in the sa trench. Losing you would be like losing a piece of ourselves. If Xianan University were conquered, Kongming Academy would be next. We help each other; it’s not about owing anything."
Xia Luo nodded, and the two of them discussed the next steps together.
"Although Xie Jun’s Qi is greatly hurt, his strength remains, and he could recover after a period. He probably won’t dare attack us for the ti being, but attacking the city area would also be a lose-lose situation. The key for us right now is to strengthen our own team and enhance our strength."
Xia Luo smiled:
"You must have an idea, go on, I’m listening."
Yang Xiao smiled slightly and said:
"Do you know about Star City?"
"Are you talking about recruiting Star City into our team?"
"Not recruiting, but conquering."
"Conquering?"
"Yes, the leader of Star City is a rich second generation from before the apocalypse. This guy is extrely lucky; the local Wanxing Mall was newly built and equipped with underfloor heating and air conditioning."
"Underfloor heating and air conditioning?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Luo beca envious; having underfloor heating and air conditioning in this harsh winter is undoubtedly a luxury.
"Not only do they have underfloor heating and air conditioning, but they also stockpiled a large amount of food. The rice and flour I sent to you last year was borrowed from them."
"Borrowed?"
A mischievous smile appeared on Xia Luo’s face.
Yang Xiao laughed:
"We are scholars, after all, right? We can’t just say we robbed them, right?"
"Ha ha, , , ,"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Xia Luo said:
"I heard Star City has five thousand people, and their genetic evolution level is not low, aren’t we going to cause massive casualties if we conquer them?"
"Hehe, you don’t understand their situation. The recent severe cold killed three thousand of them. The remaining two thousand have been staying all day in heated rooms, becoming almost like hibernating frogs. They have no fighting power left now; otherwise, why would they easily lend so much food to ?"
"Oh? Ha ha, , , ,"
Xia Luo laughed.
"By the way, Yang Xiao, this ti Xie Jun lost 269 people. I took off all the Snow Wolf Armor from their bodies, which can be sold at the Genetic Store for a good price. Then, we can buy Genetic Potions to enhance our own Genetic Evolution Level. I brought 140 pieces for you, which ans we equally split these spoils of war. I didn’t bring the remaining weapons; I plan to sell them directly."
Yang Xiao thought about it and said:
"Let’s each take 100 pieces of Snow Wolf Armor, and keep the remaining 69 pieces. After we conquer Star City, we’ll leave those armors for them, to gradually help them erge from the harsh cold."
"But they have 2,000 people. 69 pieces won’t solve the problem, right? Why don’t we leave all 269 pieces for the people of Star City?"
Yang Xiao waved his hand and said:
"No, we must conquer our opponents and be stronger than them. Those 100 pieces of Snow Wolf Armor can be sold to buy Genetic Potions to strengthen our own team. This ti, if Xie Jun didn’t have more experts at the Primordial Gene Primary Level, he wouldn’t dare to attack us, and couldn’t have escaped. To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!"
Xia Luo thought about it and felt it made sense.
"But with over 2000 people, how will 69 pieces be enough?"
"They need to earn it themselves. Think about how we started from scratch. They already have 69 pieces at the beginning, which is much better than our initial conditions. They can use these 69 pieces of Snow Wolf Armor to dig for Ice Fish in the glacier. Each person must excavate one Fish Skin Armor, then after returning, pass the Snow Wolf Armor to the next group to continue digging, until everyone has obtained a Fish Skin Armor. This will also train them to adapt to the severe cold."
"Right, your thod is good. I agree."
"About Xianan University, you also need to be cautious of Xie Jun’s surprise attacks, keep patrols on the Nine-tails City Bridge, mountain valley entrance, and the glacier."
"Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged that. There’s soone patrolling 24 hours a day."
The two chatted for a while longer, and Xia Luo left with Zhou Qiang and others.
Kongming Academy lost 56 mbers whose Snow Wolf Armor or Fish Skin Armor naturally wouldn’t be buried with them. This was indeed a resource.
Yang Xiao told Long Yongjun to send 156 pieces of cold-resistant armor to the Genetic Store.
"Oh, little guy, haven’t seen you for a few days, and you’ve gained quite a bit."
"Heh, fought a battle, seized so spoils, thought of selling them to you."
Gu Bo nodded and said:
"Sure, Snow Wolf Armor for 800 Crystal Coins, Fish Skin Armor for 700 Crystal Coins."
"Why is the Fish Skin Armor 100 Crystal Coins cheaper? The cold resistance is the sa, isn’t it?"
"Ah, rarity makes sothing more valuable. The numbers of Snow Wolves are continuously decreasing, kill one less one, but there’s a large number of Ice Fish. Not only here in Star River, but many places have also discovered the secret that Ice Fish can explode with cold-resistant Fish Skin Armor. Suddenly, lots of Fish Skin Armor flood the market, many people have more than they need and so they sell them."
"Alright then, whatever you say."
Out of the 156 armors, there were 56 Fish Skin Armors and 100 Snow Wolf Armors, selling for nearly 120,000 Crystal Coins.
Yang Xiao pondered and asked:
"If I want to upgrade from the current Primordial Elite Primary Level to Interdiate Level, roughly how many Crystal Coins would I need?"
Gu Bo smiled slightly and said:
"This 120,000 Crystal Coins should be about right."
Yang Xiao thought it over and decided to postpone it, as the 110,000 Crystal Coins could currently help six to eight of his subordinates advance to the Primordial Gene Primary Level. Using it all on himself seed a bit wasteful for the ti being.
With too many Crystal Coins, Yang Xiao couldn’t take them away and decided to store them at Gu Bo’s place.
Gu Bo laughed, took out a black Crystal Card and tossed it to Yang Xiao.
"Seeing as you’ve exchanged a large amount of Crystal Coins at our Genetic Store, you’ve beco our VIP custor. This black Crystal Card is for you; it contains your Crystal Coin amount and can be used at any Genetic Store."
Yang Xiao was delighted, so there was such a perk?
