71: Chapter 71 A Red Utopia in the Wasteland!

Looking at Lin Zihao's dazed expression,

Lu Yuan frowned impatiently.

"What are you staring at?"

With a casual wave of his hand, Lu Yuan withdrew a large quantity of Advanced Medical Sprays and basic metal blocks from his system backpack, raining them down in front of Lin Zihao.

"Hurry up and take these to bandage the brothers' wounds, and fix the vehicles while you're at it!"

"I don't have time to stand here and whistle in the wind with you all. Hurry up and finish so I can go collect some debts!"

This blunt, almost disdainful tone

sounded like heavenly music to Lin Zihao's ears.

Lin Zihao's eyes welled up.

He understood!

The Boss was the type who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside!

The Boss was a top-tier tsundere!!

He says he's annoyed, but in reality, to protect a group of bottom-tier players like them, he didn't hesitate to take on the elite alliance of nineteen districts all by himself!

"Yes! Boss! I'm going!"

Lin Zihao wiped away his tears, excitedly picked up the supplies from the ground, and turned to run and distribute them.

Lu Yuan watched his back, which looked like it had been injected with chicken blood, and curled his lip inexplicably.

He had no idea what Lin Zihao had concocted in his head.

He only knew that these dozen or so survivors were all precious attribute points to him; he'd feel the pain of losing even one!

...

In Broken Stone Canyon after the fires of war had died down, the air was thick with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and heavy blood.

With the advanced supplies Lu Yuan provided, the surviving players of District C-72 finally caught their breath and were supporting each other while treating their wounds.

Lin Zihao sat on a rock, letting Yun Xiao use a medical spray to carefully treat the bone-deep laceration on his shoulder.

Yun Xiao's hands were shaking slightly.

Lin Zihao, however, seemed unable to feel the pain and remained silent.

His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the guild brothers around him—men who were missing limbs and filled with despair, yet had hope rekindled because of Lu Yuan's arrival.

His mind constantly replayed the Boss's words from earlier: "Don't touch my Red Wolf Guild people, or not a single one of you will escape!"

Lin Zihao's fists clenched until they cracked.

The Boss was willing to risk his life for them.

But could they really just be burdens for the rest of their lives, always gasping for breath behind the boss's treads?

No!

Never!

Lin Zihao took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and pushed away Yun Xiao's hand as she was bandaging him.

He strode to the base of the Red Wolf Tank, looked up, and his expression became more solemn than ever before.

"Boss, while the brothers are fixing the vehicles, I have a very important matter I want to discuss with you."

Lu Yuan leaned against the hatch and looked down at him calmly.

"Speak."

A fanatical light flickered in Lin Zihao's eyes as he laid out the grand vision he had been calculating in his mind for a long time.

"After what happened this time, I've come to understand things clearly."

"Although our Red Wolf Guild has many people, in the eyes of outsiders, we're just a bunch of weaklings—a piece of fat meat that can be bitten at any time."

"To prevent you from having to fight alone, Boss, I want to carry out a complete restructuring of the entire guild!"

"My idea is to establish a new survival order based on [contribution points]!"

Lu Yuan nodded, signaling for him to continue.

"First, our core rule will be only one: Never abandon anyone!"

"Even if it's a frail old person, as long as they join us, we give them a way to live!"

"But absolute egalitarianism will only breed slackers. What we want to create is an internal economic closed loop where people get more for more work, and distribution is based on labor!"

Lin Zihao became more excited as he spoke, gesturing in the air.

"I plan to split the guild into four core departments!"

"First, the Sky Eye Group—composed of the players with the highest mobility, responsible for scouting ahead and marking the coordinates of monsters and high-value resource blind boxes in advance!"

"Second, the Logistics Team—letting those old, weak, women, and children without combat power join to be responsible for cooking, medical treatment, and basic maintenance and repair of the combat vehicles!"

"Third, the Collection Group—specifically recruiting talents with gathering bonus talents. They will follow behind safe routes like locusts, stripping all basic resources along the way clean!"

"All output from these three departments will have its value assessed by the system and then be converted into [Guild contribution points]!"

At this point, Lin Zihao clenched his fists tightly.

"And we will put all the good things—blueprints, high-tier weapons—into the guild shop!"

"Even if you're just an auntie cooking for the Logistics Team, as long as you save up enough contribution points, you can still exchange them for top-tier weapon blueprints and arm yourself to the teeth!"

"Finally, and most importantly, the fourth department—the Blade Group!"

"The strongest group of people in the guild will enjoy guild subsidies and be specifically responsible for external wars, clearing out monsters, and protecting gathering routes!"

"This way, civilians will have a way to live and something to look forward to, while the combat groups will have logistical support and won't have to worry about healing, repairs, or cooking!"

"Resources will flow, and everyone will be a soldier!"

"One day, we might even see a logistics auntie driving a heavy armored vehicle to the front lines to deliver meals!"

"By then, we will be an invincible crimson torrent!"

The canyon fell silent.

Only the whistling of the wind blowing through the scattered rocks remained.

Yun Xiao and the guild players who were repairing the vehicles all stopped what they were doing.

Their blood boiled as they listened, and the flames of ambition were rekindled in their eyes.

But Lu Yuan, standing high above, fell into silence.

On the surface, he remained impassive.

But in reality, stormy waves had already surged in his heart, and he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot!

Genius!

This is a fucking genius idea!

Lin Zihao thought he was helping the guild build up its defensive strength and lighten the Boss's burden.

But he had no idea that this plan was simply the ultimate schemer's overt plot, tailor-made for Lu Yuan!
