I lay low and gave up, but my servants were caught in a cycle of life and death.

Lu Yan's arm tightened as Zhou Zhengqing grabbed him, and he looked up at him.

Zhou Zhengqing immediately realized he had lost his composure, released his grip, and his expression remained anxious.

Seeing his Adam's apple bob as if he had made a decision, Lu Yan said, "I have a comrade who was infected with the zombie virus during a rescue mission. He turned into a zombie last night and lost all his reason. Could you please help him?"

"Sure. But let me make this clear: once a zombie is enlightened by me, he will no longer be your comrade-in-arms, but my servant. If you can accept this, I can enlighten him."

"this……"

Zhou Zhengqing opened his mouth but didn't dare to answer. He and his adjutant exchanged a glance and said, "I acted impulsively. I need to report this matter before I can give you an answer."

Lu Yan nodded.

Governments have rules and regulations for doing things; they can't just do whatever one person wants.

"Next, let's talk about cooperation."

Lu Yan picked up the teapot and poured tea for the group. "My strength lies not in myself but in my creations. So I have an idea. You need Xiao Dao and the others to help you clear out the zombies. I can lend them to you."

Zhou Zhengqing frowned. Given that Lu Yan had clearly refused to be given a permanent position, getting him to contribute his time and effort was indeed a viable option.

"How is this rental fee calculated?"

"Qingcheng has eight urban districts, covering more than 1600 square kilometers. Clearing out all the zombies in the urban areas is a huge project."

"I want a fighter jet and an armored vehicle. Do you have any mechs? If you have mechs, I'll also need one. If you don't have mechs, you'll have to trade something else for them, like the latest robot you've developed."

Every time Lu Yan said something, Zhou Zhengqing's brow twitched. "Such a big appetite at such a young age!"

"An armored vehicle, that's fine with you. You can also choose from several robots. But forget about fighter jets and mechs."

"Oh! So you really do have mechs?" Lu Yan's eyes lit up. "Then, I don't want fighter jets, armored vehicles, or robots. I just want a mech!"

He could simply import fighter jets and armored vehicles from abroad, but as for mechs, Lu Yan felt that perhaps only the Xia Kingdom possessed such a thing!

Zhou Zhengqing's heart skipped a beat. "What mechs? No! Only exoskeletons and robots! If we had mechs, our soldiers would already be out there wreaking havoc. We wouldn't need your cooperation!"

I almost got dragged down by this kid!

The nation has indeed developed a preliminary mecha model, but the neural network connection system is still being debugged. This equipment is meant to be a trump card; how could we possibly give it to someone else!

Seeing Zhou Zhengqing's solemn expression and resolute attitude, Lu Yan knew that even if the country had the mecha, it wouldn't give it to him, and he felt extremely regretful.

Lu Yan waved his hand, "Now that everyone has awakened superpowers, the role of exoskeletons has been greatly reduced; they're practically useless. If we don't have mechs, fighter jets, armored vehicles, and robots are indispensable."

Zhou Zhengqing frowned. "The only combat-capable items you have right now are the kitchen knife and that little zombie. Your asking price is too high. Even if I submit it, the higher-ups won't approve it."

"By tomorrow, there will naturally be more than just kitchen knives and Xiao Li."

Zhou Zhengqing looked at the confident Lu Yan and asked, "Will your ability level up tomorrow? How many enlightenment slots do you have?"

"We'll only know about the available slots after we upgrade tomorrow."

Zhou Zhengqing pondered for a moment, "Cooperation can't be finalized in just one or two negotiations. How about we come and take a look at our base?"

Lu Yan nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Zhou Zhengqing and his adjutant stood up. "Let's go now."

Lu Yan asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to pack up the supplies here before you leave?"

Zhou Zhengqing said helplessly, "After we cleared out the zombies here, we arranged for people to come down and collect them."

Lu Yan suddenly realized, "Then can I keep the furniture in this showroom? And reserve one of the heavy trucks for me too."

Old Hei hadn't had a chance to examine the RV he'd just finished eating; he didn't know if it was furnished yet.

"Sure, whatever you need, I can get it for you once we get to the base."

Lu Yan grinned, revealing his bright white teeth, and shook Zhou Zhengqing's hands vigorously. "Thank you, leader!"

Zhou Zhengqing was extremely anxious and wished he could go back and report immediately. He broke free from Lu Yan's hand and said to the waiting soldiers, "Help Mr. Lu tidy up the furniture in this exhibition hall."

"yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately sprang into action.

"Mr. Lu, we'll be leaving now. See you at the base later."

"OK."

Lu Yan escorted them to the outside of the exhibition hall, and only after they left did he walk towards Lao Hei.

"Owner."

As soon as the Maybach's headlights illuminated, Old Hei's voice rang out. Then, a flash of black light appeared, and the Maybach transformed into a motorhome, its doors opening automatically. "Welcome home, master."

Lu Yan stepped onto the electric pedal and got into the car, his eyes immediately lighting up.

Facing you is a spacious first-floor living room: a genuine leather U-shaped sofa surrounds a lift-up coffee table, and a mini coffee machine in the corner has its standby light on;

At one end of the living room is the secondary bedroom, and at the other end is an open kitchen, with a double-door refrigerator crammed full of drinks and snacks.

At the end of the kitchen, a spiral metal staircase leads to the upper floor, with a folding washing machine and dryer hidden beneath it.

There is another door leading to the driver's cab.

Lu Yan climbed the stairs to the second floor, where there was a separate master bedroom and ensuite bathroom: the large mattress was thick and soft, and the bedside was equipped with wireless charging and a reading light.

The partition between the master bedroom and the bathroom is a row of large wardrobes, which are filled with the male and female owners' clothes for all four seasons, and they are all well-known brands!

The bathroom is fully equipped with toiletries, and even has a jacuzzi!

Pushing open the glass sliding door at the back of the second floor, you'll find a small open-air terrace with barbecue tables and chairs, as well as several artificial green plants.

This RV is amazing!

I didn't expect this RV to be so well-equipped; it must be a showroom vehicle.

Hey! I've struck gold!

Lu Yan leaned on the railing, watching the soldiers below busily moving furniture, as a refrigerated heavy truck drove into the 4S store.

The soldier parked the heavy truck in front of the RV, got out, and saluted Lu Yan on the terrace. "Mr. Lu, here is the heavy truck you requested."

"Thanks, step back a bit." Lu Yan's tone was light. "Old Hei, go, swallow that heavy truck!"

Old Black's headlights flashed cheerfully. "Yes, Master."

Under everyone's gaze, Lao Hei drove towards the heavy truck. The moment the two collided, the heavy truck disappeared, and Lao Hei's vehicle shook. An 11-meter-long truck bed was added to the base of the RV, and the front of the vehicle became wider and more imposing.

Old Hei took the initiative to open the truck's cargo door and lower the ladder. After their initial shock, the soldiers carried the furniture into the cargo compartment in order.

"Old Black, I need to go down. Get me a ladder from the terrace to the ground."

"Yes, Master."

No one knows what module Lao Hei used, but an opening appeared in the balcony railing, and then a metal staircase extended from the railing to the ground. After Lu Yan landed, the metal staircase disappeared, and the balcony railing returned to its original state.

One word, absolutely!
