Chapter 441 - 209: Preparing to Stir Up Trouble (3)

One day, Li Ziyu suddenly summoned Liu Xingxing, Zhang Peng, Tas Tuling, Mumu, and the newly joined Snake-man, Zaliki.

It was Zaliki’s first time entering the Undead Main Tower, and also his first time attending a meeting, so he appeared quite nervous. But everyone else was very relaxed; they were already used to it. They just didn’t know why Li Ziyu had summoned them this time.

Liu Xingxing was always the one to liven up the atmosphere. This kid was headstrong; when others didn’t dare to speak, he did. With a cheeky smile, he asked, "Boss, everyone’s here. What good news do you have to share with us?"

Li Ziyu rolled his eyes and said irritably, "What good news? It’s all just trouble."

Liu Xingxing covered his ears with both hands, his face falling as he said, "I don’t want to hear it!"

Zhang Peng, who was beside him, smacked Liu Xingxing and pulled his hands down. "Are you a child? Behave yourself. Be serious!"

Zhang Peng was still able to keep Liu Xingxing in check, making him settle down. Only then did Li Ziyu speak, "Alright, enough nonsense. Time to assign tasks."

Everyone present immediately became serious. It was fine to joke around usually, but when it came to proper business, they had to be earnest.

Li Ziyu scanned the room, nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "Zhang Peng, your mission is to dig more tunnels underground, striving to spread them throughout the entire Wasteland. Contact as many Tribes as possible and gather intelligence."

This was the same as what he was currently doing. Honestly, among Li Ziyu’s subordinates, Zhang Peng’s work was the most to his liking; it was all serious business. Zhang Peng nodded and said, "Okay, Boss."

Li Ziyu looked at the others. "Xingxing, while you’re out treasure hunting, you also need to help Zhang Peng out. Deal with those Tribes. I want the entire Wasteland to submit. Understand?"

Liu Xingxing was taken aback by this. He thought for a moment and said, "What about those who don’t submit?"

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Peng’s eyes as he quietly asked in return, "What do you think? The boss wants a stable rear. If those Tribes don’t submit to us, what do you think they’re planning to do?"

Now Liu Xingxing understood, and his expression turned bitter. "Boss, you know, my Mobile Fortress..."

Li Ziyu looked at him with a calm gaze. Liu Xingxing’s voice grew softer and softer until he obediently said, "I get it. I’ll help Brother Peng."

’You little brat. I let you use that excuse back when you weren’t well-developed. But look at you now! You wouldn’t even care about a medium-sized Tribe, and you’re still using that as an excuse?’

Li Ziyu knew that Liu Xingxing disliked fighting; he just liked to hunt for treasure everywhere. But there was no helping it. Li Ziyu didn’t have many people to spare, so Liu Xingxing had to step up.

He cleared his throat and said to the two of them, "If there’s anything you can’t handle, find Batubohe and have him help you."

When Zhang Peng heard this, his brow furrowed. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Boss, are you leaving?"

Liu Xingxing was also startled and looked at Li Ziyu.

Li Ziyu sighed. "I’m not leaving, but I have things to do and might not be able to manage everything. That’s why I’m making arrangements beforehand."

Zhang Peng then nodded in understanding. He knew in his heart that Li Ziyu was about to start something big.

Li Ziyu turned his head to look at Tas Tuling, Mumu, and Zaliki. After a moment of thought, he said, "The coming days will be rather difficult for you. I don’t recommend you continue staying in my Fortress. For now, you can move into Zhang Peng’s or Liu Xingxing’s fortress to live. Once I’ve handled things on my end, you can come back."

The three Beastmen were stunned. Tas Tuling quickly said, "Lord City Lord, take us with you! We Tabu Minotaurs aren’t afraid of hardship. We can help you, too. Our combat strength isn’t weak now."

Li Ziyu smiled and said, "There’s no need. There shouldn’t be much danger ahead. It’s just a lot of running around. For my Undead, that’s not an issue, but for you, gathering resources will be more difficult. Besides, I have other tasks for you."

Tas Tuling glanced at Mumu, who quickly asked, "Lord City Lord, just give us the mission! We Tabu Minotaurs have been ready for a long time."

Li Ziyu said with a smile, "It’s actually not a difficult task. I hope the Tabu Minotaurs and the Snake-men from the Senunet Snake-man Tribe can help Zhang Peng out a bit and build good relations with the other Tribes."

The three Beastmen were taken aback for a moment, but after some thought, they immediately agreed. With the Undead backing them, their support was rock-solid. A small matter like this wouldn’t be a problem.
