In a frigid apocalypse, I went on a shopping spree with the reborn.

The changes in Long Jiuxing after his recovery were not limited to his combat power; his survival index also soared.

Survival Index Ranking:

First place: Jiang Qingyue, survival index 5318

Second place: Long Jiuxing, survival index 5022

Third place: Wang Dawei, survival index 2346

Fourth place: Liu Yuyao, survival index 999

Fifth place: Huang Yali, survival index 653

The changes weren't limited to Long Jiuxing. Since Long Jiuxing had joined Jiang Qingyue's little nest and they now had a plant doctor, Jiang Qingyue's survival index as the team leader also skyrocketed.

Not only did their survival index soar, but after Long Jiuxing recovered, this small team of only two people, a rabbit, and a snake also topped the new power rankings.

Another major change in the three major rankings may keep some people up at night, but Wang Dawei certainly won't be.

"Longlong, do you think Wang Dawei is panicking right now?" Jiang Qingyue thought with a wicked sense of humor, imagining Wang Dawei's expression as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

He only sat at the top of the list for a few days before being kicked off. The key point is that almost everyone at the top of the three lists had a grudge against Wang Dawei.

One was targeted by him with a kill order, another had a bounty placed on their head, and the third was his wife who would rather leave him and go to a distant land.

Although Jiang Qingyue didn't know why Liu Yuyao made this decision or how she turned that underling to the other side, it must have been unpleasant.

Otherwise, who would give up being the wife of the largest base?

Long Jiuxing: "Sister Xiaoyue, I want to go and kill him."

"Hiss." The little white snake flicked its tongue.

"What a coincidence, isn't it?" Jiang Qingyue chuckled. "That's exactly what I was thinking too. Wang Dawei might know even more hidden missions. If he grits his teeth and completes two, he'll overtake us again. We need to take advantage of our current strength and eliminate him as soon as possible."

"Aren't you going to stop me?"

"Why would I stop you from doing something? Before, it was because I didn't want you to die. But now it's different. Now your strength has increased greatly, and with the essence of the plant doctor, you don't have to be afraid even if you are seriously injured. Plus, there's me, Jiang Qingyan, and the snake cub."

"Let's all four of us go together and kill Wang Dawei. That's a sure thing. Let's not delay and go now."

She took two sets of professional winter clothing, one for Long Jiuxing and one for herself.

This thing is a bit bulky and inconvenient to wear in combat, but it's a long way from the shelter to the Happiness Base, so they'll put it on first and take it off when they're ready to fight.

Long Jiuxing hesitated, holding the clothes, "Sister Xiaoyue, I'll go by myself. Zaizai will stay here with you."

Why?

Long Jiuxing pursed his lips: "Although my combat strength is high, Wang Dawei is a very strange person. Your combat strength is all below his, so it is very dangerous to face him."

Jiang Qingyue rolled her eyes at her: "You said he's weird, so we should all go for it."

"Even if we can't beat Wang Dawei, dealing with his gang of henchmen is a piece of cake."

"Besides, you don't know how lucky I am. Although luck is something you can't see or touch, I always feel that it still has some use and might be able to help."

"But……"

"No buts, hurry up and put it on." Jiang Qingyue said, taking the initiative to pick up the winter coat and put it on her.

As for weapons, Jiang Qingyue chose a composite bow and also carried an electric baton.

Jianlong Jiuxing, empty-handed, asked, "What do you want?"

"I'm most comfortable using a scalpel, but I'm quite strong now, so an axe or hammer would be better for me."

"I have them all." Jiang Qingyue ran to the medical equipment section. She had stocked up on things like ordinary scalpels and IV needles, just in case she needed them someday.

Long Jiuxing picked out a few small scalpels and then took the axe that Jiang Qingyue had used to chop down trees.

I weighed it in my hand; it was too light, but it was better than nothing. This shelter didn't have a sledgehammer heavy enough anyway.

Jiang Qingyue took two large bags and filled them with high-calorie food. She also took two large thermos cups and filled them with hot water. These were the best thermos cups she could buy before the apocalypse. The shopkeeper said they were polar models, very expensive, and she had never used them before. She stuffed one into each of her backpacks.

I took two more small boxes and divided the remaining eight essences into two portions, putting one portion in each bag.

He explained, "Xiaoyi said that the essence of Plant Doctor produces nine capsules every day, so we don't need any. Take it as soon as you get injured, don't tough it out and wait until you're about to die."

After packing, they lifted the two bags and found they were okay, less than five kilograms. For them now, it was no different from carrying an empty bag.

The little snake burrowed into Long Jiuxing's winter coat, while Jiang Qingyue scooped up her own little rabbit and stuffed it into the winter coat on her chest.

"Let's go, let's set off."

"Yes." Long Jiuxing nodded emphatically.

Both of them understood that they had a grudge against Wang Dawei, especially Long Jiuxing.

After seeing the changes in the rankings, Wang Dawei would definitely guess that Long Jiuxing would seek revenge on him. Given Long Jiuxing's personality, he might run away, and if he arrived too late, he wouldn't even see a hair on Wang Dawei's head.

As for whether they might set a trap, Jiang Qingyue and the others weren't afraid. Jiang Qingyan was small, fast, and extremely agile, while the snake cub was also small and white, crawling silently.

These two little guys are practically invisible in this icy, snowy environment; they're natural scouts.

When the two headed to the Happiness Base, Wang Dawei also saw the changes in the rankings.

He stared intently at the three lists.

"Long Jiuxing's strength has increased dramatically, which must mean she's recovered from her illness. But she's only recovered; her survival index shouldn't have increased that much. There must be something I've overlooked. What could it be?"

"Boss, it's actually possible," the underling analyzed. "Long Jiuxing was ridiculously strong even when he was crippled, and there's that little snake. When we surrounded and killed her, it was that little snake that dragged her away at the last moment. Its strength is not low either."

"What do you know?" Wang Dawei sneered. "Long Jiuxing has been disabled since childhood and has been in the hospital all her life. She's an idiot when it comes to many things. To say that she has no ability to take care of herself is an understatement."

"Now the entire Spring City is under my control, which means that even if she obtains some special item to recover from her injuries and cure her illness, she is just a fool with fighting power but no substance."

"Without food, water, electricity, or a stable place to live, her survival index couldn't possibly rise to over 5,000 just because she has fighting power."

After being lectured, the underling dared not utter a sound.

Ever since Xiao Sanzi and that woman Liu Yuyao betrayed him, Wang Dawei has lost trust in his underlings and the women around him.

The most obvious thing is that the trading coins used to be kept in that box, but now Wang Dawei has put them directly into his spatial backpack, and no one but himself can touch them.

"She will definitely come to kill me," Wang Dawei said with absolute certainty.

Although the younger brother wished he were dead, he said, "She probably wouldn't dare. Although her combat strength has increased, she is only one person. Even with that snake, she can't possibly fight against so many people from our Happiness Base."

"That's right, boss. I think even if Long Jiuxing is stupid, she wouldn't dare to come looking for death. We have over 100,000 people under our command. Even if she were to slaughter 100,000 pigs, she would be exhausted."

Wang Dawei was speechless with emotion.

If only there were 100,000 pigs, pigs have no brains, they just charge around and might actually exhaust Long Jiuxing to death.

But doesn't he know what kind of people his subordinates are? If Long Jiuxing really comes, these people will definitely be the first to push him out.

It's possible that those he bullied might secretly launch a sneak attack while he's fighting Long Jiuxing.

Looking at his underlings, who were more reserved than ever before and seemed to want to keep their distance from him, Wang Dawei waved his hand dismissively: "Get to work. Find a way to contact the people at the Overlord Base. It would be even better if you could bribe a few of them. I need to know all the information about that woman and Xiao Sanzi."

"As for Long Jiuxing..." Wang Dawei paused, his tone hardening, "If she doesn't come, that's fine, but if she does come, I have ways to keep her here."

Upon hearing this, the underlings couldn't wait to leave Wang Dawei's house.

However, instead of listening to Wang Dawei's advice to contact the people at the Overlord Base, he went to the home of another underling. This was the furthest place in the Happiness Community from the house where Wang Dawei lived.

Once inside, everyone visibly relaxed and began to vent their frustrations.

"Do you guys think Wang Dawei is telling the truth? Long Jiuxing's combat power has soared to over three thousand. If he really comes, can he really stop him?"

"You just listen to his bragging. Last time he said killing Long Jiuxing would be a piece of cake, but what happened? So many brothers were sacrificed, and Long Jiuxing still got away."

"Tch, I thought he was really that powerful, but it turns out it was just a clone that went there, and it got killed by Long Jiuxing."

The underling who had gone with Wang Dawei to the hospital to ambush Long Jiuxing still felt lingering fear when he thought about it: "Let me tell you, I don't want to face Long Jiuxing. This woman is much more ruthless than Wang Dawei. She attacks the groin area at the drop of a hat."

Everyone nodded in agreement; they weren't stupid.

Previously, Long Jiuxing's combat strength was only a little over a thousand, and he was crippled with a heart condition, practically half-dead. They couldn't even kill him.

Now that they've recovered their health, their combat power has soared to over three thousand. Moreover, that little snake might have grown a lot and is even stronger than before.

They would be throwing their lives away if they went.

As for believing that Wang Dawei can keep Long Jiuxing, that's utter nonsense.

"How about we cooperate with Long Jiuxing to take down Wang Dawei, and then support Long Jiuxing to become the new captain of the Happiness Base?"

This suggestion really appealed to the group of underlings.

Compared to the unpredictable and stingy Wang Dawei, they would rather change their leader.

"It's a pity that my sister-in-law didn't choose me back then, otherwise I would have gone to the Overlord Base as a vice captain like Xiao Sanzi."

The underlings were filled with regret.

Look at Xiao Sanzi, he escaped Wang Dawei's clutches, moved to a new base as the vice-captain, wielded a large amount of trading currency, completed a hidden mission, and greatly increased his strength.

The key point is that he escaped with his sister-in-law. His sister-in-law had Wang Dawei's little notebook, so what's the difference between her and a reborn person?

"It's too late to say anything now. Let's not go anywhere today. Let's play it by ear. It would be best if we could kill Wang Dawei."

"I hope Wang Dawei and Long Jiuxing die together, then we can make a fortune by taking their personal computers."

Just as the group of underlings were daydreaming, two little guys appeared outside the former Happiness Community at the Happiness Base Center.

In the icy world where no one was on guard or monitoring, the two little creatures moved about as if they were in an empty place.

Without much effort, they got a pretty good grasp of the general situation in Happiness Community, and then quietly went back to find the owner.

"Chirp chirp chirp~"

"Hiss hiss~"

The two little guys rushed to report to their owner as soon as they found him.

He talked too much, and even Long Jiuxing, who had a great rapport with Snake Cub, couldn't quite understand it this time.

Jiang Qingyue simply raised her hand: "Stop, I'll ask you a question, just nod or shake your head."

"Yes." Snake Cub and Jiang Qingyan nodded at the same time.

Jiang Qingyue asked, "Have you seen Wang Dawei? Is he inside the base?"

nod.

"Have you seen any firearms that can go 'beep beep beep' inside the base or at Wang Dawei's house?"

The little snake looked completely bewildered, but Jiang Qingyan, who had watched many cartoons and knew what firearms were, shook his head.

Jiang Qingyue then asked, "Does Wang Dawei have anyone with him?"

This time, the snake cub reacted quickly, using the tip of its tail to circle a zero.

"Zero people? That means there aren't any." Jiang Qingyue praised, "Not bad, you even know the number 0 now."

???

Jiang Qingyan's rabbit fur stood on end, and she stared at the snake cub in disbelief with her small eyes: "Chirp chirp chirp?" You actually secretly read books without telling me?

The little snake looked proud: "Hiss hiss hiss." Illiterate rabbit.

"Chirp chirp chirp." I'm not an illiterate rabbit, I'm a leg-stretching, eye-glaring rabbit.

"Hiss..." You won't admit you're illiterate. Illiteracy means you've never been to school, you can't count, and you can't read. I'm not like you. When my master was learning, I was perched on her shoulder and she taught me. I want to be a cultured snake like my master.

Jiang Qingyan's ears drooped down.

Living under the same roof every day, eating the same beef noodles, and doing the same work, the little snake secretly made progress without its knowledge.

Hmph, you scheming little snake.

It decided that after killing the person, it would go back and start reading, striving to become a cultured rabbit.

Jiang Qingyue and Long Jiuxing ignored the two little ones, and after getting the information they wanted, they exchanged a glance.

One person scooped up the snake, another scooped up the rabbit, and together they made their way towards Wang Dawei's house.

For the current four-person team, there is nothing to fear as long as there are no large-scale firearms. Although there are tens of thousands of people in this Happiness Base, they are scattered and most of them are ordinary people who cannot even leave their homes.

Some of his underlings would take time to arrive, which presented the perfect opportunity to kill Wang Dawei.

Jiang Qingyue led the way; she was extremely familiar with Wang Dawei's house.

It wasn't dark yet, and the whole neighborhood was quiet. If it weren't for the smoke drifting from the windows of people burning firewood for heating, you would have thought the houses were empty.

The journey was smooth, and just as they were getting close to Wang Dawei's house, the door to Wang Dawei's house opened.

He came out on his own, holding a large megaphone in his hand.

"Long Jiuxing, I know you're here. Don't hide, come out. Let's fight fair and square. If you win, I'll tell you about your biological parents, and you'll spare my life."

"If I win, I won't kill you. You just need to join my Happy Base, and I promise to give you the position of vice-captain. Not just a title, but a vice-captain with real power."

"I'll give you half of the people at Happiness Base. From now on, we'll be equals here at Happiness Base."

"You probably already guessed that I'm a reincarnated person, right? I can promise you that I will share everything I know from my past life with you."

The loudspeaker was very loud and its sound could be heard in all directions.

The entire Xingfu residential area remained quiet, with not a single person peeking out of a window to watch the commotion.
