685: C685 Tongshan

C685 Tongshan

Wang Yi had never imagined that the package Hu Meng had brought with him contained coal.

This game was considered a scarce resource in the apocalypse. Not only could it be used to keep the survivors warm, it could also be used to generate electricity.

Wang Yi had thought of this before, when the gathering place was set on the right track, he would immediately bring people out to search for coal resources. He didn't expect to meet one today.

"Where did you bring this?"

Wang Yi snapped out of his shock, pointed at the coal in the bag and asked.

Hu Meng seemed to know that Wang Yi would have such an expression as he bitterly smiled and said.

"To be honest, Chief Wang, I'm not from here, I'm from Tongshan City in the west."

"Tongshan City?" Wang Yi mumbled and looked at Hu Meng doubtfully.

The Tongshan City was around 300 kilometers away from the Huhhot City, and when he met Hu Meng, if Wang Yi remembered correctly, he should be by himself too, but he came to Grand Green Mountain with those people near the gathering place.

Three hundred kilometers was not a problem for the team, but for Hu Meng, he was afraid that he would encounter many dangers along the way.

"Yes, Tongshan City." Hu Meng gritted his teeth and continued.

"I was originally a worker in a coal mine near Tongshan City, but after the apocalypse broke out, I unintentionally became a Power Adept. I led the workers in the mine to occupy that mine. Afterwards, the number of survivors gradually increased. As time went by, the mine became a gathering place of quite a large scale.

"Then why did you come to the Huhhot City? You could just as easily have been in the ghetto. "

Wang Yi asked.

Since there were no humans living nearby, it was naturally very safe. Since Hu Meng ran all the way to Huhhot City, then wouldn't that mean that the coal mine had already been breached by the corpses?

"It's not like that." Hu Meng sensed Wang Yi's thoughts and shook his head. He continued.

"At that time, I led those workers to form an army to protect the survivors who came to seek refuge. More and more people came, and it became more and more complicated until finally, my former coal mine owner came to the gathering place, he wanted to forcibly seize control of the gathering place because the coal mine was his. Later, I brought my brother to fight with him, but I couldn't win against him."

As Hu Meng said this, tears could not help but flash across his eyes as he continued sadly.

"Some of my brothers betrayed me due to the temptation of the benefits provided by the coal mine's owner. It was only because I risked my life that I escaped the coal mine's gathering area and came to this place."

In Wang Yi's previous life, he had even known that there was a gathering place where three leaders had changed hands within a month. Of course, the result of this gathering place was not very good, because internal conflicts often occurred, causing the defense of the gathering place to be empty. In the end, it was broken through by the corpses, and hundreds of thousands of people died by the hands of the dead.

However, what made Wang Yi suspicious was that according to what Hu Meng said, he should have completely taken control of that coal mining site. How could he be defeated by that boss again?

Hu Meng felt Wang Yi's doubt and said while wiping away his tears.

"Those brothers of mine who followed me are honest migrant workers without any bad intentions. They were used by that detestable coal boss as an excuse to ask us to listen to his jurisdiction, and those who don't listen to his orders are forced to tempt us and win their hearts. We can't win against him, and in the end …"

At this point, Wang Yi understood.

Hu Meng was just a laborer. Although he had some influence, he was not a match for that coal boss' underhanded tactics. That was why he ended up with nowhere to go.

"That coal mine owner is not a good person. Ever since he obtained the authority to manage the gathering area, he has imprisoned all of our brothers, and is now bullying both men and women. Even my wife …"

A hint of hatred flashed across Hu Meng's eyes. Even his body couldn't help but tremble. With a "kacha" sound, the coal in his hand flew everywhere.

"That's why when you came here, you saw how strong the soldiers and horses were when the Grand Green Mountain gathered. It was as if you were borrowing Grand Green Mountain to help you take back the place where the Grand Green Mountain gathered."

Wang Yi looked at him and said slowly.

"Yes, Chief Wang, I have already stayed in the Grand Green Mountain for two months. I have seen the changes in the Grand Green Mountain during this period, and I know that you are not a person without principles."

Hu Meng raised his head and said with a tear-stained face.1

"Please help me, help my brothers, and help the twenty thousand survivors in this place."

"But what can I gain from helping you?

Wang Yi glanced at the coal on the table.

"Chief Wang, as long as you are willing to lend me a thousand soldiers, I am willing to provide coal for the Grand Green Mountain gathering place." Hu Meng hurriedly said.

Wang Yi fell into deep thought.

Coal was indeed very important to Wang Yi, but the distance between Tongshan City and the gathering point of Grand Green Mountain was really too far.
