Chapter 68 1 Million Cash

After Lu Xingtang delivered the poison to the military base, the people above investigated Lu Xingtang, and everything about Lu Xingtang was known to them.

However, the people above did not hold Lu Xingtang accountable. It was not just because Lu Xingtang asked the rescue team to notify the higher-ups to go to the reservoir to catch fish, but also because a snake plague broke out and Lu Xingtang worked day and night to research poisons and help them kill the venomous snakes.

After learning about Lu Xingtang's situation, the higher-ups held a special meeting to discuss the matter, but ultimately decided to ignore it because there were so many people like Lu Xingtang! This natural disaster had forced many people to become murderers.

Moreover, they do not have the manpower and resources to deal with these matters now. Disaster relief and construction are their most important tasks at the moment.

"But……"

"No buts!" The soldier pointed his gun barrel at those people, "If you don't want to receive relief food, leave immediately! If you cause trouble, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to live!"

Lu Xingtang and the other two were unaware of this scene.

The three of them lined up to receive relief food, and it wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that they finally received the food. Looking at the soldier standing by, Lu Xingtang nodded slightly. This man was a senior officer at the military base, and he had met him once before.

When he got home, Lu Xingtang opened the rice bag and saw that the new rice was mixed with broken rice and some yellow rice.

The yellow rice will break into pieces if you squeeze it lightly. These rice have been soaked in water and then dried.

Lu Xingtang had just washed the rice and cooked some porridge when she heard a knock on the door. "Lu Xingtang? It's me, Xu Yan!"

What did Xu Yan come to see her for? Lu Xingtang put the washed rice on the stove and went to open the door.

Xu Yan took off her backpack and handed it to Lu Xingtang: "This is the supplies I handed over! My life is yours, and my supplies are naturally yours too. I kept this month's rations, and the rest are all yours! The last time I went out, I found a lot of sanitary napkins and put them in the bag. Please accept them!"

Lu Xingtang didn't take it: "I didn't agree to buy your life, so I won't take any of your supplies! Take them home and hide them well!"

Xu Yan's eyes turned red: "Whether you agree or not, I have made up my mind and I will not regret selling myself and my life to you! I have already accepted the gun. Even if you don't accept my people, they are yours!" As she said that, regardless of whether Lu Xingtang agreed or not, she forced the bag to Lu Xingtang.

Lu Xingtang didn't want it and didn't take it, letting the bag fall to the ground. Xu Yan didn't care and turned around and left, but she was limping as she walked. Lu Xingtang carried the backpack, locked the door, and followed Xu Yan to 1803.

Xu Yan saw Lu Xingtang following her and became anxious: "Lu Xingtang, you...I am serious!"

Lu Xingtang: "I'm serious too! Come on, let me see your injuries first!"

"I'm not injured, I just accidentally fell down, I'll be fine after I rest!" Xu Yan said stubbornly.

Lu Xingtang was helpless: "If you let me see, I will accept all your supplies and your people!"

Xu Yan's eyes lit up: "I have already written the indenture, and I am waiting for you to sign it!"

Lu Xingtang: “…”

Upon examination, Lu Xingtang discovered that Xu Yan had suffered many injuries, not just on her legs. There were signs of beatings all over her body, and many of the wounds were bloody, which could be seen from the past two days.

Lu Xingtang didn't comfort Xu Yan. If you want to survive in the apocalypse, you must adapt as much as possible and learn to fight back! Getting hurt and bleeding is inevitable, as long as you give it your all.

"Wait a moment," Lu Xingtang returned home and gave Xu Yan some safflower oil tincture for pain relief, some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicines such as Panax notoginseng, and two painkillers.

When Xu Yan saw the medicine, she couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears. Lu Xingtang sighed, hugged Xu Yan, and patted her back gently until Xu Yan calmed down: "I'm sorry for getting your clothes dirty!"

Tears covered Lu Xingtang's clothes, making them look ugly and mottled.

"I'll apply medicine for you!" Lu Xingtang applied safflower oil to Xu Yan. "Don't eat spicy food."

Lu Xingtang's coldness did not make Xu Yan uncomfortable, but instead she felt warm in her heart, "I will."

After applying the medicine to Xu Yan and watching her drink it, Lu Xingtang said, "Xu Yan, are you really determined to follow me?" There was no one in her plan. She just wanted to survive well in the apocalypse and not follow the same path as her previous life.

Xu Yan said affirmatively, "I've thought about it a long time ago. From the moment you gave me the gun, I was even more certain that my body and life belong to you! I will never regret it, and I will never betray you!"

In his previous life, Lu Xingtang suffered from the end of the world and the torture of his family, so he really didn't dare to trust anyone easily. Xu Yan was different from Su Cheng and Ji Yanmo. Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng were allies and could disband at any time.

Su Cheng doesn't know her secret, but Ji Yanmo knows it. But she also knows his secret. They won't reveal each other's secrets, as it will not benefit either of them.

But Xu Yan...

"I'm sorry!" Lu Xingtang refused. "If one day in the future, I'm sure that you're trustworthy and I can trust you, I won't hesitate to become your friend! Just try your best to survive first. If you need help, you can tell me. We can also form an alliance and cooperate!"

The news that the trading market was about to open spread like wildfire, and everyone started preparing RMB, because the government had notified them that the trading market would be opened by the government itself just to recycle cash. Everyone also knew that cash was invalid, so everyone took out all their cash.

Some people, when they go out looking for supplies, pick up a lot of cash and wait to go to the trading market to make large purchases and spend all the money they have.

Lu Xingtang didn't have much cash on him, and he probably wouldn't be able to buy anything even if he went to the trading market. Supplies were so rare in the apocalypse, and paper money was invalid, so the prices of supplies must be very expensive.

Ji Yanmo suddenly called her and Su Cheng and asked them to go to Ji Yanmo's house, so they quickly gathered at Ji Yanmo's house: "Why are you looking for us in such a mysterious way?"

Ji Yanmo opened the heavy backpack on the coffee table.

Su Cheng was shocked: "How do you have so much cash?" Then he started counting the money, 10,000 yuan per stack. He counted the stacks of money over and over again: "One million?"

Ji Yanmo: "When the natural disaster broke out, I went out to look for supplies and went to the Dong Group building. I found it in the finance office."

If this had happened before the natural disaster, one million would have been enough for them to do many things in the capital, and they could even buy a small house in a second or third tier city.

"The trading market is about to open, and this money is just right for spending! When the time comes, when we go to the trading market, we will buy whatever we like and spend the one million!" Ji Yanmo said generously.

Su Cheng: "I also have cash, but it's nothing compared to one million. I only have fifty thousand! When the time comes, let's share it!"

Lu Xingtang said calmly, "I only have a few thousand yuan, and it's all in the card."

Two more days passed and the trading market finally opened.

People went to the entrance of the trading market early to wait, fearing that they would not be able to grab supplies if they were late.

After the market was open for two days, cash transactions were stopped and the trading method became barter.

Lu Xingtang and the other two also came early and each of them carried a colorful backpack and waited at the entrance of the trading market. Seeing the soldiers clearing the way, Lu Xingtang knew that the door would open soon.
