As soon as Jiang Fan stepped out of dormitory building number 2, he was greeted with enthusiastic applause from hundreds of people outside.

The news that he had successfully retrieved the key had already spread.

Everyone he saw gave him a kind smile.

Under immense pressure from the forces in the East, the survivors in the West felt the importance of unity more than ever before.

They were eager to open the remaining empty dormitories, not just to obtain more supplies and shelter.

After all, even those who live in dormitories would feel depressed seeing a group of pitiful people in the hallway every day when they went out.

Moreover, empty dormitories are an essential prerequisite for establishing a home, and are extremely important for those who have no choice but to spend the night in the corridor.

Some people tried to force the door open, but after finally managing to open the door and obtaining supplies, the dormitory lost its function as a shelter, and they were unable to establish a home there.

Next, Jiang Fan repeated the process and retrieved the keys for Building 1 and Building 4.

Watching the survivors huddled in the corridor, their eyes vacant, burst into tears of joy and relief upon receiving the keys, the impulse that had sprouted in Building 2 in Jiang Fan's heart became even clearer.

He recalled that his initial motivation for the adventure was to become stronger and survive, but at this moment, a more complex emotion was growing.

He didn't want to just be a bystander.

Afterwards, he took out the cards from the other two buildings as payment.

[White Skill Card - Gun Weapon Mastery +1]

[White Skill Card - Bow Weapon Mastery +1]

[White Equipment Card - Wooden Bow]

【White Function Card - Expansion Card (5m*5m)】

The expansion card could only be used after returning to the dormitory, and Jiang Fan wasn't in a hurry to use the [White Equipment Card - Wooden Bow] since he didn't have any arrows.

As for the other two cards that increased combat ability, Jiang Fan quickly crushed them, and they turned into light effects and entered his body.

This time, his proficiency level with gun-type weapons reached level 4, a world of difference compared to before.

Moreover, if he could create a batch of arrows, he could also gain a certain ranged attack capability.

The improvement in strength brought a moment of satisfaction, but as his gaze swept over the dark corridors of other dormitory buildings in the distance, that heavy feeling pressed down again.

He needs power, but it no longer seems to be just for himself.

Once everyone was alone, Jiang Fan looked at Nangong Yue and said, "Sister Yue, after the people you arranged retrieved the supplies and rewards promised to me from those buildings, please arrange for people to distribute them all to those who have had to sleep in the corridors for the past two days."

He paused, then added, "Give more to those people in the third-floor corridor."

Originally, Jiang Fan planned to distribute these supplies to Building 3.

But after truly understanding the plight of those who are "homeless," he changed his mind.

"Fanzi, this..." Lin Feng subconsciously wanted to speak, afraid that Jiang Fan would suffer a loss.

But when he thought of those empty, desperate eyes, he shut his mouth and said no more.

Jiang Fan guessed what he was about to say and explained, "I know this is a bit of a disadvantage. But as you've seen, it's useless if only a few of us are strong. If the people in the West District can't survive, and morale collapses, our situation will likely become even more difficult. These supplies can provide emergency relief, and perhaps... they can also rally some genuine support."

Thinking of the three major powers in the East District, he felt that some things needed to be paved in advance.

Nangong Yue gave Jiang Fan a deep look and nodded: "I understand."

"First Snow, have someone stew several pots of crocodile meat. Once it's cooked, invite those people over to eat. Oh, and deduct it from my share of the meat." Jiang Fan paused, then continued, "If there are any who have difficulty walking, have someone deliver it to them."

"Okay." Li Chuxue nodded.

When Jiang Fan and his group returned to the ground floor of Building 3, the people they had arranged earlier had already cut up the crocodile meat.

Even Ding Hang and a few other greedy guys had already cooked a whole big pot of stew.

Jiang Fan naturally didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to serve himself a large bowl.

Although he wasn't seriously injured during the previous battle with the crocodile, the Heavenly Cloud Vine had consumed a considerable amount of energy.

It's precisely the time when we need to replenish our energy.

"Brother Fan, you're amazing!" Ding Hang mumbled, his mouth full of meat. "Eleven groups of people passed by us just now, and ten of them were saying how great you are."

"What about the next wave?" Lin Feng asked, surprised. "What news are they discussing?"

He was curious whether there was any more sensational news worth discussing at the West Campus.

"Hehe..." Ding Hang rubbed his bald head. "The other group, all girls, didn't say Fan Ge was amazing... they just said he's really handsome..."

"Damn!" Lin Feng's lips twitched.

Just then, Ding Hang noticed that Nangong Yue, who was talking to someone not far away, suddenly glanced over from the corner of her eye.

He quickly shut his mouth and said no more.

Not long after, Chen Qingquan, who was grilling meat, came over and handed the biggest skewer to Jiang Fan: "Several people asked me about Brother Fan's organization earlier, wanting to know what it's called and how to join."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, it's clear that his real purpose wasn't to help others ask how to add it.

Instead, they wanted to know if Jiang Fan was preparing to formally establish his own faction.

Upon hearing this, Ding Hang, Ji Ran, and the others all turned their gazes toward Jiang Fan.

Although they often spent time with Jiang Fan, they never got a clear answer and always felt uncertain.

In particular, after learning that three powerful organizations had already formed in the Eastern District.

"An organization... is definitely going to be established." After a few seconds of contemplation, Jiang Fan slowly said, "But I don't plan to build a large-scale force for the time being. For now, we'll focus on our core members."

Regarding this question, both Nangong Yue and Lin Feng had asked him privately before, and he had thought about it seriously.

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Jiang Fan explained, "I've thought about this carefully before."

"With more people, the team becomes harder to manage, and we have to spend a lot of energy managing it."

"In the current situation, no one knows each other's background, and when they all gather together, there will inevitably be internal conflicts and disputes."

"Furthermore, the more people there are, the heavier the burden on our shoulders becomes."

"We don't establish a brand or wave a big flag. We help people out of kindness. People will remember our good deeds and be genuinely grateful to us."

"But once the status is established and we become 'one of us,' some people might feel that whatever we do is perfectly justified."

Actually, there's one more thing Jiang Fan didn't mention: creating a large organization would make it harder for him to continue reaping gratitude points.

"Great!" Lin Feng chimed in loudly, "Then from now on, Fanzi will be the eldest, I'll be the second eldest... uh, I'll be the third eldest, and Ding Hang will be the second eldest."

"Then I'd rather be the fourth one." Ding Hang shook his bald head like a rattle drum. "Let Sister Yue be the second one."

After saying that, he gave Jiang Fan a suggestive look.

"Are you stupid?" Chen Qingquan said irritably. "Wouldn't that mess up the relationship?"

"You son of a bitch, you're the idiot! How did things get so messed up?"

"Of course it's chaotic, how can the eldest brother and second sister..."

"Alright!" Jiang Fan put down his chopsticks, interrupting the two arguing. "Instead of talking about all that nonsense, let's think of a name for our organization first."

"Let's call it Jiang Meng. It's simple and easy to understand," Lin Feng suggested.

"That's too corny! If you ask me, it should be called 'Hegemony,'" Ding Hang retorted. "It symbolizes our grand ambitions to dominate the world!"

"That's so corny! It should be called 'Reverse Scale'," Ji Ran said, shaking his head. "Dragons have reverse scales; touch them and they will be enraged. It sounds very powerful."

"I think we could call it Rock Solid," Chen Qingquan said earnestly, adjusting his glasses. "I hope the relationships between our team members can be as solid and reliable as a rock."

"Jiang Alliance is definitely not going to work." After the others finished speaking, Jiang Fan concluded, "This organization belongs to everyone, not just me. I created this organization because I hope that no matter what difficulties we face in the future, we can all be partners who fight side by side, instead of relying on just me. As for Hegemony and Nilin, uh... forget it. Rock is indeed not bad, but I hope even more that through this organization, we can bring more people the hope of 'life'."

Today's events deeply affected Jiang Fan. He is no longer afraid of harsh living conditions or powerful opponents.

But when faced with those pitiful people struggling on the brink of death, he felt compassion.

"How about we call it Spark?" Nangong Yue suggested.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire." Jiang Fan's eyes lit up as he looked at the others. "What do you think?"
