The next day, after Zuo Feng woke up, he admired the scenery for a while, and the girls successively got up, stretching their bodies gracefully.
Recently, the girls have been quite busy; after washing up and finishing breakfast, they started working, and at this time, Firefly welcomed two guests.
"Haha, Brother Zuo, I finally caught you! It's really not easy to see you!"
As soon as Zuo Feng entered the living room, Luo Rufeng greeted him, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Hehe, I've been out recently. From Brother Luo's words, it seems you've been waiting for me! Is there something important?"
Zuo Feng smiled slightly; the arrivals were Luo Rufeng from Sunshine Base and his girlfriend Meng Yuyan.
"Brother Zuo, didn't you ask me to look out for Mutant information before? Hehe, this time I've brought reliable clues. How about it, am I reliable, brother?"
Luo Rufeng raised his eyebrows proudly, while Meng Yuyan smiled gently beside him.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zuo Feng's eyes, and he nodded, saying, "First, please sit down, and Brother Luo, please elaborate!"
All the purple lotus seeds in his mind had matured, and he urgently needed news of Mutant zombies. He hadn't expected such good luck; only a day after returning to the base, Luo Rufeng brought news.
Luo Rufeng sat on a chair, took a sip of tea, and slowly said,
"Brother Zuo, you asked me to keep an eye out for news of Mutant zombies before, and I've always kept it in mind. You know, we're always running around searching for supplies. A while ago, when we were collecting supplies in W City, guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
Zuo Feng rolled his eyes. What else could happen with Luo Rufeng, that chatterbox? He must have encountered a Mutant or news of a Mutant in W City.
Luo Rufeng immediately took another proud sip of tea. Meng Yuyan, sitting beside him, couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her boyfriend was truly a chatterbox; he could just say it directly, but he insisted on being coy.
"Hehe, we discovered a base there called Black Lotus Base. Do you know, the leader of that Black Lotus Base is actually a top Mutant who has lit up Six Lotus Seeds! Goodness, that base has gathered hundreds of Mutants, and the survivors number tens of thousands!......."
Luo Rufeng rambled on for nearly ten minutes again, still not getting to the main point.
Meng Yuyan couldn't listen anymore. He had been talking for almost ten minutes and had even drifted to their battle with Six Horizontal Bars zombies, getting further and further off-topic. She quickly interrupted Luo Rufeng, "Get to the point!"
Luo Rufeng then stopped talking, smiled awkwardly, and said, "The news of the Mutant came from Black Lotus Base. There's a Mutant not far from their base. That Mutant is said to be immune to ability attacks.
Black Lotus Base has suffered greatly from it, with multiple encirclement attempts ending in failure. I'm telling you, the leader of Black Lotus Base is now actively seeking allies, hoping to join forces to deal with this Mutant. And he promised that after killing the Mutant, he wouldn't take a single share of the benefits; he only wants to ensure the safety of his base."
After hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Zuo Feng's eyes, and he quickly asked, "Brother Luo, have you inquired about how many vertical bars that Mutant has?"
Luo Rufeng nodded and said, "It is said to be a two-vertical-bar Mutant, extremely powerful."
Zuo Feng pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. A two-vertical-bar Mutant was not very tricky, but before seeing the Mutant, he couldn't make a judgment. The specific situation would require his personal investigation.
Meng Yuyan added,
"There's also something I need to remind Left Leader Zuo: the leader of Black Lotus Base seems to have a bad reputation. He's said to be ruthless, acts extremely, and has done many 'black-on-black' deeds; the news of the Mutant can be confirmed as true, but cooperation with him requires caution, as human hearts are unpredictable."
Zuo Feng frowned slightly, well aware of the risks of 'plotting with a tiger,' but the news of the Mutant before him could not be missed.
"Thank you, Brother Luo, for the information, and thank you, Miss Meng, for the reminder. This matter has been difficult for both of you."
According to Luo Rufeng's introduction, the strength of Black Lotus Base was roughly equivalent to that of the Wild Wolf Gang, posing no great threat. However, Zuo Feng understood that in this apocalypse, no force could be underestimated, especially those leaders with secretive ways.
Zuo Feng said to the female student guarding the door, "Go call Yun Qianqian over."
The female student responded and left. A moment later, Da Bai Tu rushed over. Seeing Luo Rufeng and Meng Yuyan, she smiled and nodded in greeting. They were all acquaintances, so there was no need for formalities. She turned to Zuo Feng: "What are you talking about for so long? Why did you call me?"
"Brother Luo brought news of a Mutant."
Zuo Feng briefly explained the situation.
Yun Qianqian's eyes lit up after hearing this; the importance of the Mutant was self-evident. Da Bai Tu immediately understood why Zuo Feng had called her over. Zuo Feng had previously promised Luo Rufeng that if they could provide information about a Mutant, they would be given an A-level metal weapon.
Now that Luo Rufeng had brought it, it was natural to fulfill the promise.
As for the authenticity of the news, they chose to trust Luo Rufeng. They were all acquaintances, and that level of trust existed.
"Sister Yuyan, it was agreed that as long as you could provide information about a Mutant, we would give you an A-level metal weapon. Coincidentally, our base now has a blacksmith. I wonder who this weapon should be forged for?" Da Bai Tu looked at Meng Yuyan with a beaming smile.
"This... isn't that good? Don't you want to confirm the authenticity of the news first?" Meng Yuyan hesitated slightly, but a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
Zuo Feng said in a deep voice, "We trust Brother Luo's credibility; there's no need to doubt the truthfulness of the information."
"Haha, then we won't be modest! Thank you, Brother Zuo, for your trust. Let's forge a weapon for Yuyan first."
Luo Rufeng, hearing Zuo Feng's words, immediately thanked him excitedly, then turned to Meng Yuyan, his eyes full of doting affection: "Yuyan has always wanted a handy weapon, and now she finally gets her wish." Meng Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she softly thanked him.
Zuo Feng shook his head; this young couple was really spreading 'dog food' everywhere.
"Alright, then Sister Yuyan, come with me." Yun Qianqian led Meng Yuyan out of the reception room.
"Uh, Brother Zuo, I'll go take a look too, okay?"
Luo Rufeng smiled and followed them out, his heart filled with excitement. As long as they possessed an A-level metal weapon, the strength of Fengyu Squad would definitely increase by more than one level, even giving them the ability to challenge Six Horizontal Bars zombies.
One must know that their squad currently struggled to deal with five-horizontal-bar zombies.
The boost from an A-level metal weapon was too great; of course, he wanted to personally witness the birth of Fengyu Squad's first A-level metal weapon!
Zuo Feng watched the three leave, secretly pondering how to handle the news of this Mutant.
In the evening, Luo Rufeng and Meng Yuyan left Firefly Base with excitement and joy, tightly clutching the newly forged A-level metal weapon in their hands, their hearts filled with anticipation and confidence for the future.
As night fell, Zuo Feng and the girls held a small meeting in the bedroom, with the main topic being the news of the new Mutant brought by Luo Rufeng.
