Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Exchanging Gifts Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Exchanging Gifts Zhang Chuyang and Wang Zhu had also visited Su Jin’s family at the villa before, but Su Jin and her family were out at the ti, so they simply left gifts and returned.
Their gifts were very sincere, actually a small box of Mutated Crystal Nuclei of various types.
According to Zhang Chuyang at that ti, Su Jin’s family didn’t lack for food or necessities, so they gave what they thought was the most useful thing for Su Jin’s family: Mutated Crystal Nuclei.
The Crystal Cores and supplies in Jian Zongzheng’s team were distributed evenly among everyone, so the two who went out on missions daily had also saved up a lot of Crystal Cores. They would usually top up their points cards with the Ordinary Crystal Cores, buy so supplies at Heart Talk Store, and gave the remaining Mutated Crystal Nuclei to Su Jin.
This touched Su Jin greatly, and she likewise prepared so gifts to give to the two of them.
Su Jin had even taken out a few apples and pears from her Space a few days in advance and left them outside, planning to let them sit a while to take to them, along with so marinated eggs and ats, including her family’s favorite vermicelli buns, red bean buns, and pork buns. With the weather outside so cold now, she believed that even if she gave them more, they wouldn’t spoil easily.
Originally, Su Jin planned to go alone, but Lu Hao felt that with the snow and difficult roads outside, he used that as an excuse to grab an umbrella and follow her out.
Both of them had already changed into their lightweight but warm down jackets. The mont they opened the door, a gust of wind laden with snowflakes blew in, so cold that Local Tyrant Gold imdiately burrowed into his little nest.
Lu Hao quickly closed the door. The snow on the road outside was almost up to knee height. It had beco like this in just one night; if it really continued for over a month as Xiao Jin said, who knew what the world would turn into.
People were already conscientiously clearing the snow on the roads, and many were even using their Special Abilities to clean it up.
“This could be good practice for Special Abilities,” Su Jin said with a smile.
“At this rate, there will be another layer by evening.”
Lu Hao looked at the swirling snow, trying to angle the umbrella more towards Su Jin. Although the snow wouldn’t matter much if it fell on them, he still didn’t want to see Su Jin turn into a “snowman.”
Zhang Chuyang was very excited; Su Jin had actually co to visit them!
“Su Jin! When did you guys get back? We were just saying with such heavy snow outside, it would be inconvenient for you to return,” Zhang Chuyang said happily.
“We’ve been back for four or five days. We ca back early because of the cold weather,” Su Jin replied with a smile.
“Wow, you’ve been out for so long, you must have gone to many places, right? Tell us where you’ve been!” Wang Zhu saw that Su Jin and Lu Hao hadn’t yet taken a seat and Zhang Chuyang was bombarding them with questions. He promptly covered Zhang Chuyang’s mouth and urged Su Jin and Lu Hao to co in and sit down.
“This kid can’t stay still for a day; don’t mind him. Co on in and have a seat,” Wang Zhu said.
“Mmm mmm mmm!”
Zhang Chuyang continued to resist, causing Su Jin to laugh uncontrollably.
“No worries, we just went to City A and City D, that’s all,” Lu Hao responded.
Just that?!
Jian Zongzheng and the others gathered around, having learned that Su Jin and Lu Hao had arrived. No one wanted to stay in their rooms.
What do you an by only going to City A and City D? They didn’t even dare to venture to City S.
Han Xiao and Ye Shuai respectfully brought over two cups of water to Su Jin and Lu Hao, looking at them with faces full of anticipation and admiration.
Going to City A and City D to gather supplies was sothing they didn’t even dare to think about, as they didn’t know what those places were like. They only heard from people who ca to the base talking about other places, which seed not so good.
“It’s not too good now, but things should gradually improve,”
Su Jin talked about so manageable topics for a while, and the group listened with various levels of righteous indignation.
In D city, the forr managent layer actually let the supplies spoil rather than sell them to survivors. Thankfully, the survivors there had raised the banner of rebellion.
And were A city and D city really so short on supplies?
“It’s quite normal. We slowly moved here from G province on the other side, and the bases we saw along the way were all desperate for supplies. Now, I’m afraid you can’t buy much with crystal cores in those places,”
Wang Zhu said, filled with emotion. A base like S city, with a cafeteria providing three als a day, as well as various stores and hospitals, they really had not seen a second one.
“Oh? Which bases have you been to?”
Lu Hao was interested. If possible, after the blizzard passed, they could also go to those places to sell supplies.
Wang Zhu was stunned for a mont, thinking Lu Hao was just curious, but still told the two of them about the places they had been to.
Although Su Jin did not say anything, she still silently took Wang Zhu’s words to heart. In the future, they would definitely go out often because with the teleportation array, they would only need a one-way trip.
“Ah, who knows when this snow will stop. It’s the first ti for so many of us to idle away in the base, and it feels quite uncomfortable,”
Jian Zongzheng sighed, for them, this snowfall ant losses.
“It’s said it won’t stop anyti soon, so you all better be ntally prepared,”
Su Jin said. It was only one day so far, but she believed this snow would teach everyone the aning of surviving day by day.
When leaving, Su Jin called Wang Zhu aside and handed over the supplies she had prepared from her space to him.
She said with a smile, “When we ca back, we made a trip to North Mountain, where we found so fruit trees and hunted so animals. These are for you and Chuyang.”
Wang Zhu, having keen eyes, noticed there seed to be the shape of round fruits inside, and quickly put them into his space. Even without Su Jin saying, he knew that these supplies were sothing Su Jin didn’t want others to know about, which is why she had called him out alone to give them to him.
“Su Jin, Lu Hao, I really can’t thank you enough. These are too precious,”
Wang Zhu said.
“Your crystal cores are also very precious, and they’re much more useful to us than these,”
Su Jin’s words made Wang Zhu laugh too, feeling extrely satisfied with a gift. That kind of contentnt only ca from Su Jin.
After Wang Zhu and Zhang Chuyang returned to their room, Wang Zhu took out the big package of supplies that Su Jin had prepared. It was wrapped in a black plastic bag, and inside, there were actually two sets of cotton-padded clothes?!
“Oh my sister, there’s even this!”
Zhang Chuyang held up a bright red apple as if he were holding so sacred relic and murmured.
Fruit! He felt like he hadn’t eaten it for centuries, where did Su Jin get them from!
“I heard they went to North Mountain and…”
Wang Zhu continued to speak as he went through the supplies, until he ca across two soft packages and suddenly froze.
Stead buns?!
Handmade stead buns?
Zhang Chuyang also swallowed hard. He took out a stead bun, tore it open, and it turned out to be filled with vermicelli, chives, and egg?
