Chapter 177 Doing Business with Them

Looking at the dilapidated Star Base, which lacked even a gate and walls, Pei Xiu turned to Ling Ran and asked, "Sister, should we still go in?"

The Star Base is really dilapidated. There are basically no houses, only a few buildings for the management and superhumans. Others live in tents if they are okay, otherwise they are just makeshift structures made of wood and rags.

Of course, they also learned from the group of four that if it hailed, the survivors would be allowed to run into the house, but if they were too slow and got crushed to death, that was that.

The base was truly powerless to do anything about it.

Ling Ran thought for a moment and said, "Let's go in and do business with them."

Pei Xiu's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Then let's go quickly!"

He's finally going to use his methods to make money. When his sister makes a fortune, he can finally hold his head high in front of others.

He is indeed a spoiled younger brother who relies on his older sister for support, but he also tries very hard to help her.

The group arrived at the so-called entrance, where two guards stood watch at the city wall gate. The city wall was rather perfunctory, consisting of only two sections; one could easily walk around it from the side.

The guards at the gate had already spotted Ling Ran and her group.

The car was intact, and the people inside were even more unharmed. They were dressed in brand-new, warm down jackets and snow boots, fully bundled up from head to toe, looking exceptionally warm. More importantly, they also had a pig with them.

Of course, the person surrounded by the crowd was dressed very lightly.

She wore a black cotton dress with matching low-heeled Martin boots, topped with a beige trench coat, and a Republic-era style formal hat with a black veil hanging down to her eyes.

She exuded nobility, elegance, and mystery, like a young lady from a wealthy family traveling.

This outfit looks good, but isn't it too thin? Even they're wearing thicker clothes than her.

As the crowd approached them, for some reason, they straightened their backs, which were slightly bent in the cold wind.

As they approached, a tall man stepped forward alone: ​​"Hello, you are from the Star Base, right? We are the strongest team, from the Southern Province base. We have a business deal regarding crystal cores that we'd like to do with your base. Are you in charge?"

"The strongest squad?"

The guards said they had never heard of the squad's name.

However, upon hearing Pei Yi mention that he wanted to do business with the base regarding crystal cores, he immediately thought of the evolution fluid and quickly said, "Please wait a moment, I will notify my superiors immediately."

With that, he ran inside the wall.

Pei Yi looked at the remaining guard, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to the guard. The guard was immediately pleasantly surprised.

This is cigarette!

In the apocalypse, this smoke is comparable to gold before the end of the world.

The guard quickly took over, explaining beforehand, "I'm just a gatekeeper; there are many things about the base that I don't know."

"Don't be nervous, I just wanted to ask how well your evolution fluid is selling?"

"It should be fine."

The guard thought for a moment and said, "As you know, this evolution fluid is mainly for people with superpowers. Actually, because of the hailstorm, many people with superpowers at our base wanted to leave. However, because we were the first base to cooperate with Hope Base, they all stayed because of the evolution fluid."

"oh?"

Pei Yi was surprised by the unexpected reward from his casual question: "Thank you."

After thanking the guards, he walked over to Ling Ran and told her everything he had just found out.

"It seems that the price of the evolution fluid is only for those with less powerful abilities." Gu Zijing saw through the situation at a glance: "Those with powerful abilities can definitely enjoy a lower price, or even receive subsidies from the base."
