Zhang Chen looked down from Royd's back.
The entire Tianlu Mountain Range unfolded before his eyes, and in the distance, he could see the towering city walls that pierced the clouds.
However... from this perspective, the once majestic city walls no longer seemed quite so grand and magnificent!
Royd turned and brought Xu Ruina up as well, then began to head back in the direction they had come.
"True God, please rest inside the building. When this large spider moves... the wind outside can be quite strong!"
Zhang Wenwen suggested considerately.
"Alright!"
Zhang Chen nodded and casually walked into a restaurant by the roadside.
This was the apocalypse, and all food was centralized in the hands of the camp leader or those designated by the camp leader.
Everyone was allocated food uniformly.
Therefore, restaurants had lost their function from peacetime and were now completely abandoned.
A family of three lived here.
The husband was Chinese, the wife was Western, but the child's skin was brown.
It was clear this was a family pieced together after the apocalypse.
Indeed, any complete family that had survived the apocalypse for this long was a rarity.
A giant poster of Zhang Chen was affixed to the wall.
It depicted Zhang Chen floating between the sea and the sky, with a large hole suddenly appearing in the dense dark clouds overhead.
Sunlight, like a sword dispelling darkness, shone down through the opening.
This was the effect that occurred when Zhang Chen encountered a storm while crossing the sea to the interface city.
Zhang Wenwen had hailed it as a miracle when Zhang Chen used the Apocalypse Controller.
Who knew she had secretly filmed this scene, found printing props, and made it into a poster.
It had become a powerful tool to promote the True God's miracles.
"Greetings, True God!"
When the family of three saw Zhang Chen and Zhang Wenwen enter, their excitement was palpable, and they quickly prostrated themselves.
It was an immense honor for the True God to visit their home!
"True God, this family are your most devout followers. They admire your presence every day!"
"They must be thrilled that you've come here!"
Zhang Wenwen said with a smile.
"Mm... tell everyone they don't need to be so formal from now on. A bow is sufficient. Kneeling is a bit excessive!"
Zhang Chen said.
"We shall heed the True God's teachings! Then no more kneeling! Hurry and get up?!"
Zhang Wenwen said softly to the family of three.
Although she felt that kneeling to the True God was a perfectly normal gesture, and bowing seemed insufficient respect, she had to obey Zhang Chen unconditionally.
"Thank you, True God!"
The husband helped his wife to her feet.
The child stood up, swayed, and almost fainted.
"What's wrong? Is he sick?"
Zhang Chen asked with concern.
This seemingly innocuous question caused the man to become so emotional that he immediately knelt on the ground again, crying out loudly:
"Please, True God, save our child! He has a persistent high fever and keeps saying he's cold!"
"We gave him antibiotics, but they had little effect, and the fever keeps returning!"
"The doctor said he might have scurvy... and needs vitamin supplements, but there are no pharmacies with vitamins in this post-apocalyptic world..."
"If this continues, I fear he... won't last much longer..."
"We beg the True God to show his divine power..."
The man kowtowed repeatedly, prompting Zhang Chen to stop him.
Zhang Wenwen pulled Zhang Chen aside and whispered:
"Actually, this situation isn't unique to them. Many people in the True God Cult are experiencing similar issues to varying degrees!"
"It's only been two months since the apocalypse, and this shouldn't be happening so soon."
"However, the time flow for survivors has accelerated, making hunger more pronounced and also increasing the probability of scurvy."
"It's my failing that I haven't been able to find fruits or vitamins from other survivor teams..."
Zhang Chen nodded slightly and then asked:
"It's not your fault. Don't think that only our current batch of轮回者 (reincarnators) will face a shortage of fruit; even the previous batch had the same problem!"
Xiao Guanghan approached and whispered:
"This matter is indeed difficult to handle. Even if the True God, with all his might, could procure fruit and save this family, he couldn't save everyone!"
"There are over ten thousand people in the entire sect. Even if each person received one fruit, that would be over ten thousand fruits..."
"Moreover, even if you had that many fruits, you'd still need to ensure the vitamin content is comprehensive and rich..."
Zhang Chen frowned and pondered for a moment.
"Over ten thousand fruits... If each fruit weighs 100 grams, that's over a ton..."
He checked his ring and found he had thirty to forty tons of "Crispy Fruits."
This didn't even include the sand coconuts or other fruits Zhang Chen had "procured" from parallel world supermarkets.
"That's acceptable... not a lot!"
When Xiao Guanghan heard Zhang Chen's words, his jaw nearly dropped.
What? A ton of fruit?
And that's *not* a lot?!
In this post-apocalyptic world, it was harder than climbing to heaven for someone to produce a single fruit.
Even in a high-end auction house, a piece of "slightly rotten fruit" was instantly snapped up for a bid of 5,000 [Energy Crystal Cores].
Zhang Chen actually said a ton of fruit wasn't a lot?
Xiao Guanghan glanced at Zhang Wenwen, who looked completely at ease.
She showed no signs of surprise or shock.
It was as if all of this was perfectly natural.
Her gaze towards Zhang Chen was filled with unwavering faith and adoration.
"Distribute these fruits to everyone. Then, organize some manpower. My estate has 30 mu of land that can all be planted with fruit!"
"Wenwen, your ring should be enough to activate the estate, right? Plant all the land in your estate with fruit as well!"
"Additionally, organize people to release small amounts of fruit onto the World Boutique Auction House. It's best to find large buyers for transactions. The auction house's sales volume is still too small!"
From Xiao Guanghan's words, Zhang Chen immediately recognized a business opportunity.
Scurvy, a disease caused by the body's physiological structure and long-term vitamin deficiency.
This was entirely different from viral infections.
With the latter, as long as one's physique was strong and immunity was robust, they wouldn't fall ill.
However, scurvy was caused by a lack of vitamins, and it had nothing to do with one's physique.
It was likely that all the轮回者 (reincarnators) worldwide were facing this problem.
Undoubtedly, once the market for fruit was opened, it would be as if Zhang Chen didn't need to kill anyone. He could simply sit at home, and all the轮回者 (reincarnators) in the world would be making money for him.
Hiss... The feeling of being a capitalist... seemed pretty good!
