You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

Only after an agreement was reached between the two sides did water start flowing through the pipes to Wanhao District again.

But for Li Wanhao, this was still not good news.

Because the other side could cut off the supply at any time.

Once it was cut off, the entire district's water supply would cease, which could directly lead to a riot below, for all anyone knew.

So, after much thought, he finally came up with a solution.

It was actually the same as what Zhang Ye had done.

Directly dig wells.

Without machinery, then every person just had to be given a shovel to dig the hard way.

And these people were well aware of the consequences of not having water.

So they all dug with all their might.

In one breath, they dug two wells.@@novelbin@@

Later, for the sake of supplying water to the factory in the north, another well was dug, making a total of three wells, and only then could they take a breather.

Although using these three wells to supply the entire Wanhao District was a bit of a stretch, they were sufficient as a backup plan in case of a water cut.

However, the relationship between the two settlements was still not good privately.

Because the water that came through the pipes was not free.

It cost money.

Charged by the bottle.

Though the person overseeing it was from the Wanhao District government.

But under the deliberate guidance of Li Wanhao, this dissatisfaction with the government quickly transferred to the water factory.

This hostility would eventually lead these people to join the expedition to the water factory without any second thoughts.

It was also because of the water factory and several other similarly strong settlements that Li Wanhao had delayed moving south.

This was the company's opportunity.

To directly conquer these forces by force was clearly not likely.

Even if it was possible, the casualties from the conflict would undoubtedly be frighteningly high.

This went against Zhang Ye's original intention.

He hadn't come to destroy others' lives.

His plan was to gather all the survivors of Sanjiang City, use zombies as the basic labor force, and restore the operation of all industries.

Ultimately, to achieve the revival of human society.

This was his ideal.

It was also, after much consideration, what Zhang Ye thought the real meaning of the system was.

One can only survive by caring for oneself; otherwise, heaven and earth would obliterate them.

At first, he truly wanted to live only for himself.

To be honest, everything he had done was for his own benefit.

But as his material needs were increasingly met, a new desire began to form in his heart: to rebuild human society with his own abilities.

This had become Zhang Ye's spiritual pursuit.

Anyone or any group that stood in the way of this path would be destroyed.

"So we stick with the old method?"

Peng Yue asked tentatively.

The "old method" he was referring to was what Zhang Ye had once used against him and Chen Xiaoyong.

The victor becomes king; the vanquished becomes an outlaw.

Even if he was reluctant at the time, now he was genuinely convinced.

The once arrogant Chen Xiaoyong was now blissfully asleep at the bottom of the river.

And they, the brothers, had become one of the two forces under Zhang Ye's control in Jiangbei, henceforth firmly tied to the company.

Therefore, when Peng Yue mentioned this method, his eyes began to sparkle with excitement, as if he could hardly wait.

Seeing Zhang Ye nod, he actually laughed hehe.

"Damn.

"It's finally my turn to deal with others."

Once he had spoken, as if realizing something was off with his words, he quickly added: Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

"Sorry boss!"

"I didn't mean you dealing with me... What I mean is..."

Thud.

The door was pushed open.

Peng Liu walked in nonchalantly, "What my brother means is, it's all good, right bro?"

Peng Yue's face went dark all of a sudden.

"How many times have I told you to knock before coming in!"

"You little..."

Seeing that he was about to stand up and reprimand Peng Liu, Zhang Ye immediately waved his hand unconcernedly and said:

```

"Alright, alright, cut the act in front of me."

"How's the task coming along?"

Hearing Zhang Ye inquire, Peng Liu finally stepped forward with a chuckle and said:

"Boss, the goods are all brought back!"

"They're all in the car."

As he spoke, he pulled out a wallet from his bosom, opened it in front of Zhang Ye, revealing a thick stack of papers inside.

"But we couldn't fit some in the car, so I had them directly exchanged for New Currency."

"Here, it's mostly all here."

"Over thirty thousand."

"Thirty thousand?"

Zhang Ye's interest was piqued upon hearing this.

He leaned forward to take the wallet from Peng Liu's hands, his fingers gently fanning it open, and pulled out a few bills.

The back was the standard playing card design.

The front was the denomination.

One hundred.

He skimmed through, and all the denominations in the stack were the same.

"Just a few playing cards, and they've taken our tangible resources away?"

Zhang Ye's expression was somewhat peculiar.

His tone sounded mocking, yet carried a hint of indescribable admiration—after all, this was so far the only person similar to him.

Or rather, the tactics were extremely similar in some respects.

Li Wanhao used his own commodities as credit collateral to issue the New Currency.

Then, he exchanged the New Currency for other people's commodities, thereby making his reserves of credit-collateral resources even more substantial.

Moreover, the issued New Currency could only be used in Wanhao District, thus ultimately flowing back to Li Wanhao.

In and out, his New Currency still remained, but his resources grew more abundant, and naturally, his power became stronger.

Could the person who thought of such a method be anyone simple?

As Zhang Ye was mulling over this, Peng Liu, standing in front of him, cautiously stepped forward and said:

"That..."

"How do we use these New Currency, boss?"

How to use them?

Zhang Ye pondered for a moment before looking at Peng Yue, "What do you think?"

Peng Yue immediately responded:

"Didn't Director Zhang want to have Lu Yong act as an insider over here?"

"He can't accomplish much alone."

"He needs funds."

"Okay."

Zhang Ye agreed without hesitation, "Let's do it that way."

"For such things in the future, just handle them on your own."

"No need to report back."

Early the next day, Peng Liu took several people to find Liang Zhijie.

The other party had also risen early.

When they arrived, Liang Zhijie was already organizing people to line up in the open space. Seeing Peng Liu come over, they came up to greet him.

"Brother Liu, good morning!"

"Don't you know how to speak? Call him Sixth Master!"

As soon as one person finished speaking, the person beside him immediately corrected his wording, followed by taking out a long-stored cigarette butt.

"Heh heh, Sixth Master, here, have a smoke?"

"This is a Huazi brand!"

Peng Liu looked with disgust at the filthy cigarette stub in his hand, and with a push, he moved the man aside and said:

"Enough, enough!"

"What kind of crap did you pick up to offer me?"

He then looked at the somewhat disordered crowd and shouted loudly:

"Hey!"

"Stop the noise!"

"Line up properly, then follow me!"

The subordinates Peng Liu brought quickly stepped up to maintain order, occasionally kicking a few of the disobedient ones.

Including Liang Zhijie, there were exactly fifteen people to take over this time.

Just enough to fill one compartment.

"Let's go!"
