Gasping for breath heavily, he touched his chest, feeling sowhat fortunate. "This card treats the most severe internal injuries. Luckily, cancer counts as an internal injury."
Qin Ziwen joked, "I thought you were about to make a heroic sacrifice."
Luo Gang propped himself up to sit straight. "Am I crazy? I haven't lived enough yet!"
As he spoke, he pressed on his chest. The pain that had been constantly lingering on him actually receded like a tide.
"Alright, as long as you're alive, it's fine." Qin Ziwen patted his knees and stood up, preparing to leave with Little Black One. Luo Gang called out to him, "Leaving just like that?"
"Sothing else?"
"Want a big gift from ?"
Qin Ziwen stopped and said half-jokingly, "You're not about to hand over the entire Student Council to , are you?"
Luo Gang smiled bitterly. "Talking to you is no fun. Can't you at least pretend to be clueless?"
"Haha, you said it was a big gift, so of course I have to think big." Qin Ziwen laughed, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected Luo Gang to play such a big move.
Luo Gang adjusted his mindset and said calmly, "Yes, it's the Student Council. Do you want it?"
"Of course I want it. Why wouldn't I?" Although the Student Council had lost many people now, there were still over two hundred, all young and strong, high-quality labor. Why wouldn't he want it?
"Good." Luo Gang's shoulders relaxed, a weight lifting from his heart.
"I won't just take your healing card for nothing." He reached into his chest and pulled out a black card, handing it to Qin Ziwen.
Qin Ziwen looked at the black upgrade card he offered. This was probably the reward Luo Gang got from his map settlent.
Qin Ziwen said, "Trading an upgrade card for a healing card, you're probably at a loss."
Luo Gang said, "For soone in the desert, a bottle of water is the most important. Cards are only about suitability, value is secondary."
Seeing Luo Gang say this, Qin Ziwen took the black upgrade card.
[Upgrade Card] Common Resource Upgrade Card
Can upgrade a common resource point to an advanced resource point. Level -1 after upgrade.
Looking at this common resource upgrade card in his hand, an idea popped into Qin Ziwen's mind.
Which resource point should he use this card on?
The Coal Mine? An advanced energy-type resource?
The Iron Mine? An advanced core mineral resource?
The Spring? Another special spring similar to the Healing Spring?
There were too many options. He couldn't decide on a target imdiately.
Luo Gang's voice ca, "I suggest upgrading the Iron Mine. I have a Level 1 Iron Mine Card here that I can support you with. I think iron tools are what we use most at this stage. If we can upgrade to advanced tal, it would be very important whether for making weapons or building other things."
Qin Ziwen nodded. "Alright, then you can coordinate with Jia Liangcai later."
"Okay." Luo Gang agreed. He was familiar with Jia Liangcai. Recently, the person the Student Council had been in contact with from the Qin Alliance was this man.
This man's ability was not simple. When he first interacted with modern people, he was a bit awkward, but once he figured out the ropes, his actions revealed a shrewd and steady style.
Especially when trading with those Great Yong rchants, Jia Liangcai handled it with ease. He seed to understand those Great Yong people very well.
They hadn't suffered losses in several consecutive trades. Of course, the other side also made a lot.
When it ca to trading, it was ultimately about mutual benefit.
"I went to the opposite island today. They are building ships over there, and big ones at that."
Luo Gang wasn't surprised that Qin Ziwen could go to the opposite side, because Qin Ziwen's pet being able to fly and carry people was no longer a secret.
"You want to fight?"
"We have to fight. Sooner or later, there will be a war between the two sides. Since that's the case, why not let decide when to start it."
Luo Gang looked at Qin Ziwen. "How do you want to fight?"
"Night raid tonight. I'll ride the Crowned Eagle over and activate the node."
"Good. I'll prepare the people and equipnt on my side first." Luo Gang didn't ask further and directly expressed his support.
Returning to Ho, Qin Ziwen summoned the core mbers to discuss the night raid tonight.
"This is the environnt on their side." Qin Ziwen found so stones and piled them up on the sandy ground to form the terrain of the opposite island and its buildings.
A group of people squatted on the ground or stood, forming a circle.
"They have the advantage in numbers. Although the tower and the urban village are close, they are actually separate. If we directly besiege the tower and the urban village provides support, we'll be attacked from both front and rear." Qin Ziwen drew a circle on the ground with a stick.
Yuan Ming suggested, "Then split our forces?"
Qin Ziwen shook his head and vetoed, "In war, you generally only split forces when you have a nurical advantage. We are still at a disadvantage in numbers. Splitting forces is too dangerous."
"Is that tower really the Red Cauldron Tower?" Jin Hao asked.
"Mhm, it really is the Red Cauldron Tower."
Jin Hao said, "Then that's troubleso. I used to work in the Red Cauldron Tower. The layout inside is complex, and the passages are narrow. If soone guards the stairwells, it's very difficult to force our way up."
Qin Ziwen nodded. "That's exactly what I'm worried about. If we all enter the building and the people from the urban village co to support, we'll be trapped inside like dumplings. If only part of us enter the building and the rest surround the base, you can all imagine falling objects from heights. If they throw things from above or use bows, we'll beco targets."
Cao Biansheng said, "We should have the advantage in weapons, right? Plus the advantage of surprise from the sneak attack. It shouldn't be too difficult, should it?"
A flicker of ruthlessness passed through Jia Liangcai's eyes. "Master, since ancient tis, siege warfare requires several tis the casualties. In open terrain, if we break through the enemy camp, we can win. But if this tower's structure is similar to our residential complex buildings, then it would be very difficult to quickly penetrate. How about we set it on fire? This atrium terrain is perfect for fire to spread."
"I've tried. Perhaps because of Ho, even if you set a fire, it won't affect the interior of Ho, and it's hard for it to spread." Qin Ziwen shook his head and vetoed.
Hearing that fire wouldn't work, Jia Liangcai considered flooding, but after thinking it over, flooding didn't seem suitable either.
Qin Ziwu suggested, "Then should we attack the urban village first?"
Qin Ziwen said, "The urban village terrain is also complex. They basically all have courtyards, and there are many internal alleys and narrow paths inside. It's not an exaggeration to say they are individual small fortresses. They are also easy to defend and hard to attack. Once we get bogged down there, there are over two thousand people in the office building. If they flank us from the rear, it would be extrely dangerous. Moreover, I saw heavy crossbows inside the urban village."
Hearing Qin Ziwen's description, everyone frowned.
This way, it really did seem a bit troubleso.
Seeing the atmosphere was sowhat oppressive, Yuan Dache said with a smile, "Actually, both sides are the sa. It's hard for us to attack them, and it's hard for them to attack us. In terms of defense, we have a big geographical advantage. Moreover, we have the Guild Leader's node to launch surprise attacks anyti. The advantage is ours."
Yang Cunshen suddenly said, "Sir, since it's difficult to deploy large forces in the short term, how about we first form an elite team for a night raid? They are building ships, so we destroy their shipyard first. As long as they cannot go to sea, lose sea control, and are trapped on the island, we can deal with them slowly."
