Under the Wind Disaster World, teams were losing control, swept away by tornadoes in their desperation.
The Group Chat App channel count also dwindled by two or three hundred people that day, dropping the total to just over three thousand nine hundred.
Keep in mind that out of the original four thousand plus, over two thousand had survived on the buses, and the remaining thousand or so were team led by three or four hundred RV owners.
Nearly one-fifth of the teams were taken by the windstorm today.
If the Wind Disaster World persists for another day, I estimate there may only be a hundred RV owners left.
"Damn it... when are we getting to the next world?" A disgruntled complaint echoed inside the Van.
David eyed the tornado behind them, grumbling. Inside, the Beautiful sisters were looking worn, their conditions not great.
Though the Van expanded a bit after the one-star upgrade, being cooped up for two or three days was still uncomfortable.
If they hadn't been constantly switching drivers, they would have been sucked up by a tornado earlier today.
David, ever since the wasp swarm incident where he almost died, had been secretly holding a grudge against Jason.
But Jason was too strong. Not only did he not dare to retaliate, but he also feared Jason noticing his messages in the Group Chat App.
Beautiful slapped David on the head. "Stop complaining. Can't you see everyone's already annoyed?"
In this oppressive atmosphere, negativity could be contagious. She had to stop it.
David, unfazed by the slap, chuckled sheepishly. "Beautiful, when we get to the next world, can I recruit two more people on the bus?"
The Van's capacity was seven. David had wanted to recruit people a few days ago.
But Beautiful and Monty and Son were worried that David might recruit people to replace them. David, after all, was the actual RV owner.
If there were people on the RV backing David, their life wouldn't be easy.
So they rejected David's suggestion to recruit from the bus.
That's why their team was still just five people.
But after these past two days, taking turns driving and going through hardship together, their relationship had improved quite a bit, so he was bringing up recruiting again.
Seeing Beautiful's hesitation, David quickly assured her that she would still be in charge of the Van, and he wouldn't kick them out. This put the four at ease.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Everyone knew the advantage of the Van was its seven-person capacity. But if David used the opportunity to recruit two trusted lackeys and edge them out, the Van could be in for some infighting.
And David wasn't stupid. Every RV owner knew the importance of having capable followers.
Beautiful's physique was E-Rank plus, beautiful wearing one-star Combat Boots. Monty and Son had also killed many zombies and had decent skills.
These four had also saved him from the wasp swarm and wouldn't harm him. Why would David do something so dumb as to kick them out?
Actually, David wanted to recruit people not to kick out the four or to seize power but because he was horny and wanted to bring two babes onto the Van.
He saw people sharing on the Group Chat App how the women on the bus would give you a quicky in exchange for some food. How could he not be excited?
Unfortunately, the Beautiful sisters didn't understand his thoughts and thought he was going to kick them out.
Beautiful frowned. "Recruiting is fine, but it has to be approved by all four of us."
"Definitely, definitely." David assured her, excitedly massaging her shoulders.
Just thinking about how he could get a quicky with the bus women made him wish they could hurry to the next world.
Ding!
A friend request caught David's attention.
He opened the system and saw it was Ellie, wanting to sell an item and asking if he wanted to buy it.
"Ellie, what kind of item are you selling?" David replied with a lecherous grin.
Ellie quickly sent him the item info.
Disguise Mask?
Can change appearance?!
David's eyes lit up. He wanted to buy it immediately.
A Disguise Mask might be useless to others, but to David, it was a rare treasure.
The thing is, he's ugly.
No matter what the face on the mask looked like, it would be better than his ugly mug.
When he went to find women on the bus wearing the mask, the women might find him more appealing.
So he had to buy this Disguise Mask.
"Ellie, how many Escape Coins for this mask?"
"I'm not selling it for Escape Coins. I'm only trading it for Blueprints or items. Do you have any, big brother David?"
Blueprints or items?
He had gotten quite a few good things from opening treasure chests the other day. He did have a Blueprints and some items in the Van. But the items were racing-type items like Banana Peels, which he didn't want to part with.
So David sent a message, "I have a Chicken Coop Blueprints that can increase a hen's egg production by 1. Are you interested?"
Ellie quickly agreed to trade.
David was overjoyed but also a bit worried.
Though there were Blueprints and resources in the RV, they weren't in his possession. They were all controlled by Beautiful. He had to find a way to trick her into giving it to him.
David thought for a moment and came up with a plan.
"Beautiful, we're about to enter the next world. I offended Jason. If I run into him, I'm a dead man."
The four of them frowned. They offended Jason, who knows what's going to happen, just like the Dungeons, when we meet them again.
Jason put pressure on them.
Beautiful saw that David wanted to say something but said impatiently, "What do you want to say? Spit it out."
"Hehe..." David laughed awkwardly. "I found an item that can disguise my face so Jason won't recognize me, but I need the Chicken Coop Blueprints to trade for it."
David immediately sent the Disguise Mask info to Beautiful.
She frowned after seeing it. The Disguise Mask was useful, but she didn't know if it could fool Jason.
Even if David changed his face, he still couldn't change his bulky body.
But the Chicken Coop Blueprints was useless. Trading it for this item was worth it.
So Beautiful rummaged through the RV and found a Blueprints. Seeing that the synthesis count on the Blueprints was 5, Beautiful synthesized four Chicken Coops and then gave David the Chicken Coop Blueprints with only 1 synthesis count left.
She didn't want to waste the synthesis count on the Blueprints. She could either keep the four Chicken Coops for herself or sell them for Escape Coins.
Anyway, Ellie just wanted the Blueprints. She didn't specify how much synthesis count was left.
After receiving the Blueprints, David traded with Ellie.
Soon, a mask appeared in his hand.
