Du Kun quickly asked, "Boss, just tell us what you need, we can definitely do it!"

Du Kun was very confident in Lin Xinyue, who had been appointed as the liaison officer for the gathering place. As long as the boss's demands were not too outrageous, sending Lin Xinyue to negotiate would definitely yield fruitful results.

"Du Kun, call Lin Xinyue over. I want to talk to him face to face!"

Wei Lun didn't state his request directly, but instead asked to meet the person who gave Du Kun so much confidence.

Without hesitation, Du Kun went out and brought Lin Xinyue in.

Lin Xinyue is a man who looks very refined. He is not very tall, but he has a natural sense of approachability, which may be the key factor in his repeated success in negotiations.

Upon entering, Lin Xinyue felt a surge of nervousness upon seeing the room full of bosses.

"Hello boss, hello everyone!"

Lin Xinyue greeted everyone with a smile, trying his best to appear more composed, but in reality, his heart was already in turmoil. Why would they call someone as lowly as him to a meeting of this level?

As a professional negotiation expert, Lin Xinyue had already guessed that something important needed his attention.

"You're Lin Xinyue?"

Wei Lun looked the refined, thin man up and down. He was quite different from the calm and composed negotiation expert he had imagined. However, this image might make his opponent lower their guard immediately, so it was a natural advantage.

"Hello, boss. I'm Lin Xinyue. What can I do for you?"

Lin Xinyue spoke very politely, then glanced at Du Kun. Since his team leader had brought him over, Du Kun hadn't said anything, and Lin Xinyue deduced that the big boss had personally called him over.

"Lin Xinyue, after discussion, we have decided to appoint you as the liaison officer for the gathering place. Are you willing?"

As soon as Wei Lun finished speaking, he saw Lin Xinyue's eyes suddenly brighten from their dimness, and a surge of hope and abundant confidence welled up within her.

"Boss, yes, I'm willing!"

Lin Xinyue's voice trembled with excitement. He wasn't stupid; he understood that this was definitely a job full of challenges and opportunities. After all, there were hundreds of people in the entire base, but only he was called here. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he might regret it for the rest of his life. Moreover, it was personally arranged by the big boss, which meant that his future could very well be like that of many bosses in this building.

"But I have a request. Can you fulfill it?"

Wei Lun inquired, not ignoring Lin Xinyue or giving him preferential treatment because of his impression of him, but making the same calm request as he would to the other team leaders.

"Please speak, boss. I guarantee I will complete the task you assign!"

Without hesitation, Lin Xinyue immediately nodded frantically in agreement, then listened intently to her boss's instructions.

The management team around him still had some doubts about Lin Xinyue, after all, it was only Du Kun who was talking about his advantages.

Every member of the base's guard is highly skilled and an industry elite. Before the disaster, the guard would have been a super-luxury lineup.

Lin Xinyue is nothing special and not worth everyone's attention. Only Wei Lun noticed that Lin Xinyue has a very careful listening and analytical ability when she speaks. This ability is very subtle and cannot be felt from facial expressions and tone of voice, but it can be felt if you pay attention.

"I only have one requirement: before heading to the settlement, you can choose anything from the warehouse, but the value must be 10 times higher. Dare to take this mission?"

Wei Lun didn't stand on ceremony. He originally only thought that he could triple Lin Xinyue's earnings, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to go all out if he didn't ask for more. Even if he didn't achieve 10 times, he would be satisfied if he could achieve more than five times the price of goods in the apocalypse.

Lin Xinyue, who had initially thought her boss would make things difficult for her, smiled broadly upon hearing the request.

However, it's only 10 times. He used to do this kind of business often. You know, in the apocalypse, the most scarce thing is material. It's very simple to make huge profits. Just find a way to mythologize the product. Once the product is snapped up, the price will naturally rise.

"Boss, I guarantee I'll complete the task!"

Lin Xinyue stood at attention and saluted, showing great respect to the base's biggest boss and expressing her firm determination.

Then Lin Xinyue was taken to the warehouse to select goods.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Xinyue chose cigarettes, which were the least favored choice. You see, the most scarce resource in the apocalypse is food, and cigarettes are just a form of entertainment. Moreover, in the base, cigarettes are basically only available to the team leaders and bosses; ordinary people have no right to enjoy them at all.

Similarly, in a gathering place, only the rich and high-ranking people can afford cigarettes. Ordinary poor people can't even get enough to eat, so why would they spend a lot of money to buy cigarettes?

More importantly, cigarettes are very expensive in the apocalypse, and increasing their price tenfold is extremely difficult.

Soon, amidst everyone's questions, Lin Xinyue selected cigarettes and drove off to the gathering place.

Within the base,

When Wei Lun, sitting on the sofa, heard Lin Xinyue choose cigarettes, a smile appeared on his lips, showing he was quite interested in the matter.

"Interesting, very interesting!"

Wei Lun smiled, then left the sofa and returned to his room, directly traveling back to the modern era. As for everything at the base, he entrusted it all to Qin Mutong for management, with all the team leaders assisting in the management. Since his wife was Qin Mutong, Wei Lun was naturally very at ease. With a group of team leaders advising him, there shouldn't be any major problems with the base.

At this moment, Lin Xinyue was driving, carrying an automatic rifle, with the base's first laser sword, given to a member of the guard, tucked into his waistband. His face was filled with glory and pride.

There was a large quantity of cigarettes in the back of the car, at least 100 cartons.

Lin Xinyue tried opening a carton of cigarettes, then took out a pack, lit one, and tried it out herself.

Lin Xinyue used to be a complete non-smoker, but in order to sell cigarettes at a higher price, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and try the taste.

It must be said that after Lin Xinyue finished smoking, she felt all the pressure disappear, her mood improved a lot, and her confidence in going to the gathering place increased significantly.

They encountered many wandering zombies on the way, but Lin Xinyue completely ignored them, determined to detour to the front lines and reach the gathering place as quickly as possible.

As dusk approached, the sky began to darken.

Lin Xinyue's journey to the gathering place alone was undoubtedly dangerous, but as long as she was quick-witted, nothing serious would happen.

At dusk, Lin Xinyue arrived at the entrance checkpoint outside the gathering place.

After paying a small amount of zombie crystal cores, Lin Xinyue drove the car into the sixth settlement.

A strong commercial atmosphere permeated the area. Whether it was the goods sold in the shops or the stalls on the street, plus the food that people had hunted, the Sixth Settlement looked like a very peaceful home.

What's truly heartbreaking is that many of the houses were reduced to rubble and ruins; if it weren't for the post-disaster reconstruction,

At this moment, the sixth settlement probably looks even more dilapidated.
