Chapter 402 There is no free lunch in the world

But it must be said that handling personal grudges was exactly what Sheng Fei wanted.

I've long been fed up with these two bastards who are in cahoots with each other.

Now the money is being taken from him?

very good.

If I don't cheat them out of it, I'll be sorry for my selfless dedication to them...

"No, Captain Lu, what do you mean?" The deputy commander of Yongzhou Base saw Captain Lu leaving and hurried forward to stop him.

Captain Li pushed him back, his tone extremely cold, "What do you want to do by touching me?"

The deputy commander of the Eternal Day Base said, "..."

While he was interrupting, Captain Lu disappeared without even looking at him.

In the main hall.

Only the deputy base commander of the central base, Sheng Fei, and the captains of the two teams were left, staring at them eagerly.

Chai Yun, deputy base commander of Yongzhou Base, had a strange illusion that they had failed today.

How come I happened to run into this smug bastard?

Didn’t he say that he stayed in City A?

"Sheng Fei, after all, we have worked together before. I have never treated you unfairly, and you don't have to make things difficult for us." Ran Haiming, the base commander of Yongzhou Base, spoke first, breaking the silence.

This seems to be a reminiscing about the past, but in fact it carries a blatant threat.

He thought that Sheng Fei didn't expose his "parents" just now, probably because he was still afraid.

This person has a soft spot and never dares to offend others easily.

It was like this before, and it is the same now...

Sure enough, Sheng Fei smiled and said politely, "Of course, my uncle and aunt helped me a lot in the past. Now that I need them, I must help."

Seeing that he was so understanding, Ran Haiming breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the other party continue.

"It's just that the base has its own system, and my opinion doesn't count."

Chai Yun subconsciously rebuked, "What kind of system is this? Your official system is to watch people die without helping them?"

"That's not the case. If the official base were the same as yours, you wouldn't have come here today."

“…”

What does it mean to be the same as them?

Chai Yun was very dissatisfied and always felt that this kid was targeting them with hidden ulterior motives.

He wanted to say something, but Ran Haiming glanced at him and signaled him to shut up.

No matter how arrogant he was, he knew that he was on someone else's territory and needed help, even if that person was someone they once looked down upon...

He turned to look at Sheng Fei again, with a silent scrutiny, "Your system requires us to join the alliance now before you give us medicine?"

"There's no rush to join the alliance. The Central Base has already sent a communication to each base commander, calling a meeting for those bases that are interested. The specific alliance plan is yet to be discussed."

These words were spoken calmly and confidently, and compared to the previous strong call to all bases, they seemed more confident.

Arrogant even.

Maybe when you join, you will have to check your qualifications and so on.

Ran Haiming pursed his lips tightly, having a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, still holding his temper high, "Thank you very much."

Sheng Fei took in his stubborn expression and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips. "There aren't many life-saving potions in the Central Base. According to the regulations, they can only be used by internal personnel. Given our relationship, Base Commander Lu just tacitly allowed me to make an exception and give you my share."

His words were flawless, and he even explained why the base director just turned around and left.

But Chai Yun laughed when he heard it, "Are you willing to be so kind as to give it to us?!"

"It seems that Deputy Base Commander Chai also knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch. If I give it to you for free, you won't feel at ease. So I will sell it to you at a friendly price."

“…”

Ran Haiming knew that asking for something would come at a price.

But he didn't know that this price was personally delivered by his most capable deputy base commander.

He glared at him in dissatisfaction and found that he was not happy with him at all today. How could he become so stupid?

Chai Yun also realized that he had been tricked. His face turned red and blue, and he gritted his teeth, "You'd better give me a friendship price!"

"There's no cure for the zombie virus on the market, and you can't exchange it for supplies. The Central Base has very few medicines, so it's impossible to give them away for free, and you won't be able to get any. So, my place is your only chance."

Sheng Fei said lightly, "Thirty thousand crystal cores in exchange for one potion, isn't that too much?"

Ran Haiming's pupils shrank slightly, he couldn't believe it.

"Why don't you go and rob it?!" Chai Yun blurted out.

The small base in the apocalypse is mainly used to avoid zombies, collect supplies, and survive.

No one is going to fight zombies head-on.

Therefore, 30,000 crystal cores were almost half a month’s harvest for the small base.

Moreover, who knows how many lives may be lost in the process.

He only used one potion now, and he wants to exchange it away so easily?

"Some things can't be snatched away by robbing." Sheng Fei said meaningfully, "Besides, the lives of my uncle and aunt are not worth this cold zombie crystal core?"

"That's right! Is that too much?"

Captain Li immediately chimed in, "You keep saying you want to join our 'Zombie Slaying and City Recapture' plan, but you can't even produce tens of thousands of crystal cores. We don't value your strength!"

Captain Feng had a say in this regard. "Our team killed more than 30,000 zombies a night. If you're useless, don't hold us back!"

Chai Yun used to often scold Sheng Fei for being a waste, and scolded his family for being a waste and dragging the base down.

I never thought that this definition would fall on me now.

I was suddenly ashamed and angry, but unable to refute.

Because they said that more than 30,000 zombies were strangled in one night, he saw it with his own eyes...

Sheng Fei glanced at the elderly couple who were tied up and had gone mad intermittently. "You don't have much time to think about this."

"Potions are rare treasures, both now and in the future. If it weren't for our friendship, I would never have given this potion away today..."

Sheng Fei is too confident.

And given his previous performance at the Eternal Day Base, Ran Haiming felt that he could not lie.

Combined with what he said before, there are very few medicines in the central base, so it is impossible to open it for free.

What this means is that even if we form an alliance, we still have to exchange potions?

He hadn't made up his mind to join this dangerous zombie-killing plan, but the potion was so tempting that he wanted to get some for himself.

The same trick couldn't be used twice. If these two people died, he would have no excuse to come and exchange potions...

After weighing the pros and cons, Ran Haiming quickly gave in.

"Give me two. I don't have that many crystal cores right now. I'll make up for it later!"

"That won't work."

Captain Feng's eyes widened. "How can we buy life-saving medicine on credit? If everyone is like you, swindling us and writing bad checks, how many medicines do we have left to waste on favors?"

Chai Yun couldn't stand it any longer and pushed Captain Feng. "Who are you calling a swindler?"

Captain Feng had developed his reaction speed through training among the zombies, so he easily dodged the attack, then kicked him to the ground with a fierce kick, stepping on his chest.

"What? You still want to rob us on our territory?!"

“…”
