Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Lying Down to Save Energy Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Lying Down to Save Energy Lu Hao originally wanted to continue showing the group around the entire base, but when he learned that they did not need to continue the tour and only wanted to understand the current situation of Base D, he couldn’t help feeling like he had hit the jackpot.
“There’s nothing too complicated inside the base,” Lu Hao explained. “The Base Leader’s surna is Yuan. He was an official in D City even before the apocalypse, but now he doesn’t manage much himself. Most of the affairs are handled by soone nad Zhang Anguo, Deputy Zhang. Also, a lot of the managent team mbers are relatives and friends of Base Leader Yuan and Deputy Zhang. In short, it’s like a family business, a family base, if you will, which really puts us common folks at a disadvantage!”
The young Lu Hao sighed, and Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh.
“Is there a shortage of food here?” Su Jin asked.
“A shortage? It’s more like there’s no food at all,”
Lu Hao said, his expression also showing envy for the group that had casually taken out two kilograms of food earlier.
“What if soone was selling food here? What do you think?”
Lu Hao also asked.
“Hahaha, what you guys are saying is too funny. How could anyone be selling food at a ti like this? If there really was, they would probably be worshipped like gods!”
Lu Hao seed to think that selling food was a pipe dream.
“Well, that’s why we’re here—to sell supplies,”
Su Jin said to Lu Hao.
???!
Sell supplies?
How?
“Are you… serious?!”
Lu Hao asked excitedly, recalling the group that had earlier spent money freely.
Su Jin nodded. If possible, they wanted to test the waters by selling a portion here first, without spreading the news throughout the whole city like they did in City A.
“Can I buy so first? I have a few thousand crystal cores at the place I’m staying at!”
Lu Hao asked eagerly, his eyes shining. If there were food, no matter the price, he would buy it.
“Of course, you can bring so of your friends to buy first,”
Su Jin had just finished speaking when Lu Hao ran out the door like the wind, shouting, “I’ll be back soon!”
The family shrugged helplessly, then surveyed their temporary accommodations. The house was indeed spacious, particularly the living room, which Su Jin estimated to be around 100 square ters.
They hadn’t even sat down to rest yet, when a commotion broke out outside the door.
“Little Kong, you better not be fooling us. I walked all this way, that’s at least worth half a bowl of thin porridge,”
“Yes, you little rascal, do you know how many days I’ve been lying down without moving? If you dare fool your sister, I’ll stew you up and eat you!”
“Oh my dear brothers and sisters, I told you about such a good thing and you don’t thank , but instead, you want to finish off, that really breaks my heart,”
Lu Hao’s voice also carried over.
But as the group had just pushed the door to step into the courtyard, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
A row of honest-looking people sat neatly in the middle of the yard, and in front of them, several tables were set up. Most importantly, the tables were filled with supplies, including flatbreads and eggs?!
“Holy cow! Da Yu, pinch , am I seeing things or dreaming?”
With a cry of pain, Luo Han, who had been brought by Kong Shangjie, soberly realized he wasn’t seeing things or dreaming—there were actually people selling supplies!
But being pinched by the Power Elent Da Yu really hurt a lot!!!
Kong Shangjie, already starry-eyed, ran ahead where that old man was selling so many pancakes!
“How much for this rice?”
Kong Shangjie asked.
“30 Crystal Cores per jin, the flour next to it is the sa price. Here’s the price list, you all can look together,”
Huang Yunxiang introduced enthusiastically.
Shocked by the 30 Crystal Cores per jin of grain, the four of them lost interest in checking the price list and rushed forward to buy food.
“There’s plenty of supplies, no need to rush. If you’re hungry, you can first go buy so ready-made food nearby,”
Su Jin said smiling. They had just arrived here, and guests were already coming to buy things so soon; it looked like future business wouldn’t be bad at all.
Hearing Su Jin’s words, Kong Shangjie decisively bought a pancake and a serving of stewed at and sat down nearby to eat. He had only called these four friends over, so their supplies shouldn’t be selling out so quickly.
The woman known as Da Yu looked incredulously at the supplies laid out in front of her.
She saw Kong Shangjie eating nearby, and faintly slling the aroma of at in the air, she couldn’t resist buying the sa dish and began eating. It was pancakes, and the at from this so-called mutant animal tasted even better than ribs!
“Wooo, where do you wizards co from to have supplies to sell?”
Zhao Le and Chen Ran also joined the eating brigade with Kong Shangjie and Da Yu. Until the food entered their mouths, they still felt how surreal that mont was.
“We just ca from City A, we were roaming around collecting supplies before, and then selling them,”
Su Jin explained.
“I think you’re selling too cheaply, not to ntion 30 Crystal Cores, even for 300 Crystal Cores people would be fighting to buy them,”
Kong Shangjie felt he had eaten enough, his stomach, long starved, had beco very small. Now having eaten just a little, he felt that it was already enough.
“Haha, we’re not unscrupulous rchants. We sell for what it’s worth. Everyone in this Apocalypse has it tough,”
Lin Cheng’s words moved everyone to tears. These people seed like truly good folks, they were incredibly great.
“You can rest assured, we’ll definitely bring enough custors for you,”
Kong Shangjie stood up and said. He opened his backpack, dumped all the Crystal Cores from inside onto the table, and then started counting them seriously.
He never thought these useless Crystal Cores would one day be used again.
Seeing this, the others also took out the Crystal Cores they had brought. Zhao Le was a Space Elent Ability User, so all his Crystal Cores were kept in his space.
Zhao Le had the most Crystal Cores; in his space, there were actually more than ten thousand Crystal Cores, probably because as a Space Elent Ability User, every Crystal Core he defeated or found was thrown casually into his space.
But for Chen Ran and the others, it was a pity. Before, they thought Crystal Cores were useless, so they didn’t bother collecting them properly.
However, being able to exchange so Crystal Cores for supplies now made them feel lucky enough already.
“We’ll be staying here for about 10 days. If you have ti, you might want to collect more Crystal Cores to exchange for supplies with us,”
Su Xiangzhe explained. Ten days should be enough ti for them to absorb the Crystal Cores here.
“Really?! But I doubt whether your supplies will last 10 days. Don’t be fooled by the desolation outside the base; actually, there are quite a lot of people inside; it’s just that everyone is lying at ho to conserve energy!”
Zhao Le said.
