Ch 142: I’ll Just Take A Little

Lu Fan suppressed the shock in his heart, his expression remaining calm as he nodded slightly to Li Yu.

“You’re back.”

“How is your father?” Li Yu inquired.

“Nothing serious. Anyway, just like me, we’re both destined to suffer.” Lu Fan gestured for Li Yu not to worry.

“Hmm…”

Li Yu, after seeing Lu Fan, hesitated somewhat.

Lu Fan seemed to guess something: “Just say what you need, I can help if I can.”

“I plan to leave Qingcheng, and I do need some things.”

Li Yu thought it over and decided to speak. Although he hadn’t instantly killed Yan City’s Super Esper, he had successfully helped Lu Fan rescue people.

Before Li Yu could speak, Lu Fan remembered the most important thing:

“Right, the pass through the defense line has been processed for you. It uses Qingcheng’s highest authority.” He said, taking out a card and handing it to Li Yu.

Li Yu took the pass. On the front was printed the green flag of Zhongzhou, and on the back was Li Yu’s picture, along with the Qingcheng seal. It looked extremely exquisite.

Li Yu was clearly startled seeing his own picture, not knowing how Lu Fan had done it. Holding the pass, he asked:

“With this pass, I can bring people over?”

“Of course, this is a Zhongzhou card. All those vagrants… all the people in your League can be brought over.”

Li Yu nodded and carefully put away the pass.

“Anything else you need, just say it.” Lu Fan asked again.

Lu Fan was quite willing to send Li Yu, such a dangerous Super Esper, to Zhongzhou. He didn’t care at all what the future of Zhongzhou would be like.

Seeing Li Yu’s troubled look, Lu Fan’s heart sank. He was afraid Li Yu was going to make an exorbitant demand.

With Li Yu’s current strength, even at such a close distance, he would probably find it difficult to instantly kill the opponent, and a single counterattack from Li Yu could cost him his life.

However, the two were not enemies, and he wasn’t about to fight Li Yu to the death.

Lu Fan quickly considered his bottom line, and thinking of the troubles Qingcheng might face next, he finally made a decision.

Even if Li Yu emptied the Small Equipment Depot today, he would accept it. But tanks and cannons absolutely could not be given away for free.

“I want some coal and fire starters,” Li Yu said slowly.

“What!”

Lu Fan was stunned. He thought he had misheard.

“That’s it?”

He had imagined Li Yu agonizing over what heavy weapons to ask for, but it turned out to be just some coal.

At that moment, Lu Fan looked at Li Yu seriously. He couldn’t believe there was such a person in the world.

Even if his great aunt came today, she would have to take a cow from him, let alone a Super Esper.

“Nothing else?” Lu Fan confirmed again.

“Nothing else.” Li Yu nodded.

They had already agreed that after he chose his equipment, he would help Lu Fan rescue people, and he would get a pass to get through the defense line.

Now that things were over, Li Yu didn’t intend to ask for anything more.

Asking Lu Fan for coal and fire starters was simply because he really didn’t want to eat raw meat anymore.

“Good.”

After a sigh in his heart, Lu Fan agreed immediately, turning to the Team Leader beside him and ordering:

“Send someone to deliver the fire starters first. In a while, you arrange for Li Yu to take people to get the coal. Let him take as much as he can.”

“Yes.” The Team Leader responded.

Lu Fan didn’t care at all about the extremely abundant coal supplies.

“Thanks, Lu Fan.” Li Yu thanked him sincerely.

“What are you thanking me for? Maybe we’ll see each other again sometime.”

Looking at Li Yu’s reaction, Lu Fan smiled slightly, his eyes seeming to hide something unspeakable.

Only now did he understand why Wang Tianzhao considered Li Yu a friend.

“See you again?”

Li Yu didn’t think so. After leaving Qingcheng, he might never come back.

“Take care.”

After saying goodbye to Lu Fan, Li Yu returned directly to the Prefabricated Shelter.

At this time, Ma Yuanbai had already prepared the vagrants. A group of people stood at the entrance of the Prefabricated Shelter waiting for the order to depart.

Seeing Li Yu return, Ma Yuanbai still didn’t forget to show off his sense of ceremony in front of the vagrants, deliberately striding forward to report to Li Yu:

“Alliance Leader, all personnel of the Wanderers’ League are ready. We can depart.”

Ma Yuanbai, standing next to Li Yu, winked at him, hinting at something.

Li Yu looked at Ma Yuanbai helplessly and had to cooperate, loudly ordering:

“Good, now everyone comes with me to get coal.”

“Yes, Alliance Leader.” Everyone answered in unison.

Just as they were about to set off, several soldiers had already delivered two boxes of fire starters.

The Team Leader explained at this time: “Alliance Leader Li Yu, Qingcheng doesn’t produce many fire starters, these are all for you.”

“These are enough.”

Li Yu said, opening a box and taking one out. After pressing the button, flames immediately ignited.

After confirming there was no problem, Li Yu tried the Small Equipment Slot.

【Equipment Acquired: Fire Starter】

【Fire Starter LV1: Heat-resistant, high-temperature resistant, high-quality open flame, prevents burns】

Seeing that these were supplies given to Li Yu by Qingcheng, Ma Yuanbai quickly waved to Zhao Xiong, and Zhao Xiong quickly led several people to quickly carry the boxes.

“Let’s go then.” Li Yu signaled to the Team Leader.

“Good.”

Under the leadership of the Team Leader, Li Yu and his group headed towards the Warehouse to get some coal.

Soon, a tall Warehouse appeared before them.

“Here it is. This large Warehouse stores coal, and there are sacks next to the entrance.”

The Team Leader pointed to the sacks beside the Warehouse and waited outside the Warehouse entrance. After all, Young Master Lu Fan said Li Yu could take as much as he wanted, so he didn’t need to supervise him.

As soon as Li Yu and the others entered the coal Warehouse, they were all amazed by the sight before them.

The coal inside the Warehouse was piled up like a mountain, and the coal blocks piled up in the back were even larger.

Ma Yuanbai’s eyes lit up at the sight of so much coal, and he immediately started giving orders:

“Quickly, put all the small pieces of coal into sacks.”

The vagrants immediately went to work, some picking up nearby tools, some using their hands and feet to put the coal into sacks. In a short while, their faces and hands were black.

After the sacks of coal were filled, they were neatly stacked by the vagrants at the Warehouse entrance.

Li Yu took out a jar and started filling it with coal from the sacks, as this was his purpose in coming.

Ma Yuanbai inconspicuously took out a new jar he had never seen before.

He secretly looked around, seeing that they were all insiders, and he also began to fill the jar incessantly. His speed was even faster than Li Yu’s.

The Team Leader had been waiting outside for a long time. Seeing that no one came out, he curiously went into the Warehouse to check.

As soon as he entered the Gate, the Team Leader saw the Warehouse almost half-empty, and he was immediately astonished.

The small pieces of coal that had originally been piled up on the outside were now gone.

Several Vagrant Awakeners were even using hammers to forcefully pound the large coal blocks piled in the back.
