Chapter 225 The Trade
In the guest hall of Summer Garden Mall, Su Han eventually arrived to meet with Zhao Yaqian.
Upon entering the guest hall, only Zhao Yaqian was there, sitting quietly, her expression solemn, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.
As Su Han walked in, Zhao Yaqian stood up, "Lord Su."
"Sit down."
Su Han motioned for Zhao Yaqian to sit, then cut straight to the chase, "You want to trade for Black Rock Tree Monsters? How many?"
Zhao Yaqian scrutinized Su Han's expression carefully, but couldn't discern any tendencies, even as a sensitive individual, she failed to detect any subtle changes.
In front of Su Han, she could only feel a powerful presence bearing down on her, increasing the pressure she felt.
"Twenty. We plan to exchange artillery schematics and the ammunition formula along with a production line for manufacturing shells," Zhao Yaqian said upfront, bringing out her biggest bargaining chip, knowing full well that without showing sincerity, the deal would never succeed.
Yet Su Han's eyes remained calm as he said, "You do have ideas. How do you plan to trade the Black Rock Tree Monsters, take them with you, or Contract them?"
He looked at Zhao Yaqian with interest but didn't directly agree or refuse, leaving her anxious.
"If you agree, we will have the Southern City Guards Contract them," she said, pausing slightly before adding softly, "We hope the artillery trade can compensate for the deficit incurred by the ancient trees re-breeding their offspring. We truly need the help of the Black Rock Tree Monsters for expanding outside the park area."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They had traded many times between their camps, and naturally understood each other's tactics. By subtly suggesting that their offspring were a renewable resource, Zhao Yaqian was hoping to coax Su Han into relenting. Read new chapters at empire
However, Su Han only chuckled in response and countered, "Do you know we are reconquering the entire Northern District? The perimeter of the wall encircling the Northern District is at least 50 kilometers, no less. Yet the number of Black Rock Tree Monsters I have is limited."
Zhao Yaqian's expression darkened slightly as she was about to speak, but hurried footsteps were already approaching.
The newcomer was Ye Kailing, her expression stern as she strode in and glanced at Zhao Yaqian.
Before Ye Kailing could speak, Su Han asked, "An emergency?"
He didn't avoid Zhao Yaqian, as if he wanted her to see more of what was happening.
Bai Qilan had told him that although Zhao Yaqian had informed the South City Camp about sensitive individuals' ability to communicate to a certain extent,
the conversation with Bai Qilan had not been disclosed, and they still occasionally communicated.
Although she was dedicated to saving people, she was hesitant about taking sides in the camp dynamics.
Ye Kailing immediately grasped Su Han's meaning upon his prompt and solemnly reported, "An urgent message from the pharmaceutical factory. Some survivors' camps in the Eastern District have formed an alliance and issued Zhu Junhua an ultimatum: share the pharmaceutical factory and the spatial rift or face a full assault tomorrow morning."
Zhao Yaqian's face betrayed her astonishment. The Eastern District? The Tree Domain Camp had expanded to the Eastern District and even possessed a spatial rift?
Su Han looked up and asked, "How many people?"
"At least a thousand. However, I'm worried they might attract a horde of monsters. With the fog clearing, it's easy for monsters to converge and move around. Should we send a team to assist?"
The Tree Domain's focus at the moment was on reclaiming the Northern District, but the Eastern District couldn't be neglected, let alone giving the opposition an opportunity to cause trouble.
At present, there were only two places in the Eastern District region: the pharmaceutical factory and the stadium.
High walls encircled both locations, including the subway station, with the pharmaceutical factory partially restoring production to help the main camp manufacture drugs, and the stadium fully converted into a livestock production site.
The two locations were connected to the main camp by subway tunnels, with permanent garrisons of 500 and 300 Tree Domain warriors, respectively.
Dealing with typical attacks was easy, but they would have to be cautious in the event of a large-scale monster siege.
This was precisely why, upon receiving the news, Ye Kailing sought Su Han immediately.
"No need, I'll go there myself," Su Han shook his head, then added, "Continue with the planned sweep in the third ring region."
"Understood."
Once Ye Kailing heard Su Han would take matters into his own hands, she knew the issue was as good as resolved.
After excusing herself from the meeting room, she departed quickly.
Su Han's gaze settled on Zhao Yaqian as he suddenly said, "Come with me, we can talk on the way."
Though it was a spur-of-the-moment decision for Su Han, Zhao Yaqian had no opportunity to refuse, nor did she wish to refuse, as she wanted to see the Tree Domain Camp's setup in the Eastern District for herself.
Therefore, she nodded in agreement, "I'll also help."
Su Han just smiled, but didn't take her offer to help seriously, and he led Zhao Yaqian out of the building.
A huge red figure hastily swept across the sky, landing dominantly in front of them.
"What?!"
Zhao Yaqian gasped in surprise, noticing that Su Han's Blood-winged Alligator Dragon had clearly advanced again. Its powerful aura, unabated and even more fearsome, was overwhelming.
"Get on. We'll reach the Eastern District quickly," Su Han instructed as he and Zhao Yaqian mounted the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon. The blood-red scales writhed like blood, forming spiky protrusions in front of them for stability.
Zhao Yaqian was still unaware of what was happening when the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon had already soared into the sky, swiftly flying low towards the Eastern District, the howling wind zipping past their ears.
Had the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon not had a certain degree of control over the wind, the strong breeze against their bodies might have knocked them down.
"You, you've expanded into the Eastern District already?"
What do you think?
