Lin Ruo glanced at him and said, "I naturally have my own channels."

Ye Lin's eyes were deep, and then she lowered them. It seemed that she had a spy in the base, and this person was very capable, managing to deceive so many of them.

At the same time, he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind: on one hand, the food supply for the base's million inhabitants; on the other hand, the weapons the base used to control the superhumans. Which was more important?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Ruo continued, "The reward I want is very simple: supplies and crystal energy cannons. No matter how much grain you find in the underground granary, I want 10% of it. I want 90% of the grain I get to exchange for two crystal energy cannons, and I also want a military truck with the maximum carrying capacity."

Lin Ruo had calculated in her mind that she did not lack food, but she could not let anyone know that she did.

In the apocalypse, food is the most important resource. How could someone who lacks food not be tempted by so much food? That doesn't make sense.

She can ask for less, but she cannot ask for nothing.

Ye Lin didn't comment on whether the compensation was appropriate, only saying, "The Crystal Energy Cannon is still in the research and development stage; we don't have a finished product yet."

“Then give it to me when the finished product is ready,” Lin Ruo said with a hint of a smile in her eyes, though the smile didn’t show in her eyes. Her tone also carried a threat. “The thing I’m least afraid of is defaulting on debts, because I’ll only get more in return.”

Ye Lin pursed his lips slightly. Lin Ruo's demands for payment were quite high, and he was somewhat undecided.

Jiang Yue and Chen Yu both understood the threat in her words. She meant that if they didn't renege on their debt, she would only get two units, but if they did, she might find the base and wipe them out.

What a boastful tone!

According to the information Jiang Yue returned from his investigation, each standard warehouse in this underground granary has a minimum storage capacity of about 5,000 tons. The underground granary they found was a cluster of warehouses. According to the records they salvaged, there were at least ten standard warehouses here, which means there were at least 50,000 tons of grain inside!

Lin Ruo immediately asked for 500 tons of grain and two of the most advanced crystal energy cannons!

Isn't this compensation too high?!

They've put in so much effort for this mission alone, so can she really help them bring the food back?

Jiang Yue, who was eavesdropping nearby, clenched his fists. Putting aside the crystal energy cannon, just five hundred tons of grain could feed so many people!

But he also knew that whether they could bring the grain back this time depended on the person in front of them. This person's abilities were more useful than bringing a group of superhumans. Without this person, they wouldn't even be able to bring back a few hundred tons.

"What do you want the Crystal Energy Cannon for?" Ye Lin asked her with a questioning look in his eyes.

Lin Ruo's eyes suddenly turned cold. She stood up and walked out without stopping. "If you don't want to do this deal, you don't have to. Now it's you who are begging me, not me begging you."

"Wait a minute," Ye Lin said, standing up as Lin Ruo was about to leave. He tried to call her back, but Lin Ruo didn't stop at all.

Chen Yu, standing at the door, knew that if Lin Ruo left this door today, the deal would be off. Not only would everyone in the base face the predicament of running out of food, but their research on the crystal energy cannon would also be leaked.

He was anxious to stop Lin Ruo and rushed towards her.

Lin Ruo's eyes turned cold, and she threw a heavy punch at Chen Yu. Chen Yu raised his arm to block it, "Crack!"

Chen Yu's arm bone broke instantly, causing him to pause in his movements. Lin Ruo did not stop, and with her other hand, she slammed her elbow into Chen Yu's neck.

At the same time, blue light flashed in his eyes, and water energy instantly formed a series of ice arrows emitting a chilling aura, all aimed at Chen Yu. In the next instant, Chen Yu would die a violent death.

"I agree!" Ye Lin shouted from behind, "You have the right to make your own decision! I was impulsive just now!"

Lin Ruo's expression remained unchanged, but she immediately stopped the downward movement of her elbow and turned to look at Ye Lin.

But the ice arrows moved even closer to Chen Yu, trapping him within that space. Some of the ice arrows even pierced Chen Yu's skin, causing blood to seep out. Chen Yu couldn't move at all.

"You want to kill me to silence me?" Lin Ruo's voice was extremely cold, and the killing intent in her eyes was palpable.
