Han Yi's resounding and bold words still echoed in the space, the lingering sound carrying sparks that could start a prairie fire.

However, when the extreme excitement and enthusiasm receded slightly like the tide, the heavy reality and the almost forgotten fatigue quietly returned.

The space fell into a strange silence for a moment.

Yu Bai did not say anything, but quietly sealed the last bit of calming incense powder into a specially made small porcelain bottle, and gathered the tools scattered on the stone table one by one.

She could understand Han Yi's surging emotions at the moment, and she also understood how precious this hope was to him and to the millions of people struggling to survive in the end times.

Han Yi took a few deep breaths, his chest still heaving. He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the warm tea in it, as if trying to calm his turbulent emotions.

Then, he ended his silence, reached out to drag the huge, half-worn backpack at his feet to the front of him, and unzipped the heavy zipper.

Yu Bai finished packing and when he looked up, he saw the open backpack and the light that suddenly poured out from it, which was almost blinding.

Golden bracelets and necklaces, heavy gold bars, crystal clear jade pendants, warm Hetian jade plaques, and even a few uncut gemstones of various colors the size of pigeon eggs... There were so many dazzling items that the backpack was almost about to burst.

"Wow, so much!" Yu Bai exclaimed, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes, "It's several times more than the previous two times combined."

“More on that later.”

Han Yi's voice still had a hint of hoarseness, but his tone was calm and almost nonchalant, as if what he took out was not a fortune that would drive anyone crazy before the end of the world, but just a pile of ordinary stones.

He paused and explained, "Over the past few days, I've led my men to thoroughly clean out the outer areas of our base. We've now gained the confidence to explore areas we previously didn't dare to penetrate."

"We basically don't go to those abandoned shopping malls and supermarkets anymore. Most of the things inside have gone bad."

"However, we do like to go to those gold shops, jewelry stores, and jade shops now."

"Because these things can be used by you, Xiaobai, this can be considered as our gratitude."

Han Yi looked at Yu Bai. His dark face looked extremely serious under the reflection of the colorful jewels.

For others, these luxuries that cannot be eaten or drunk in the end times may not be as real as a piece of bread.

But for Yu Bai, these are good things.

Han Yi and his friends turned the ruins of the city into her "treasures".

Night had already fallen, and the warm light from the main room shone into the yard.

Yu Bai left the space and walked out of the bedroom, and the aroma of food filled his nose.

Zhou Fengxia and her third brother Yu Nian were there. Even her second uncle Yu Dongshun was sitting obediently at the dinner table with his two sons Yu Peng and Yu Xiang.

Seeing Yu Bai coming back, Zhou Fengxia hurriedly greeted him.

"Xiaobai, get up, come and eat! There's a lot of work to do in the mountains today, so I don't have time to cook. I might as well ask your third brother to pack a few dishes from the county restaurant to save me the trouble of cooking."

Yu Nian looked a little tired, but he was in high spirits. It seemed that the supermarket was operating well.

Seeing Yu Bai sitting down, Yu Nian picked up a piece of fish for her with chopsticks and said, "This fish is fresh. Eat more."

Yu Dongshun and his two sons have indeed been more restrained recently. The Yu Bai family has become visibly "richer", and the flattery on their faces has become increasingly intense.

Although Zhou Fengxia and Yu Nian's attitude towards them was not as cold as before, they were just maintaining politeness on the surface and were not very warm.

But this did not affect the hospitality of Yu Dongshun's family at all.

"Sister-in-law, Xiaobai, Xiaonian, you are really capable. I heard that the barren mountain was tidied up by you and it looks like a fairyland!"

Yu Dongshun picked up the wine glass with a smile on his face.

"The three of us don't have any special abilities, so if you need any hard work in the future, just let me know!"

Yu Peng and Yu Xiang also quickly echoed: "Yes, Auntie, Sister Xiaobai, Brother Nian, we are young and have plenty of strength!"

The attentiveness of these three father and sons must have their own plans.

The financial resources of the Yu Bai family are one thing, but more importantly, the two guys, Yu Peng and Yu Xiang, have sharp eyes and have figured out some clues in recent days.

They had seen more than once those "big shots" driving luxury cars and dressed well coming to the supermarket to look for Yu Nian.

Among these people, there are many leading figures in the town, and even small leaders of certain units in the county.

But those people, without exception, were all polite to Yu Nian.

Yu Peng quietly touched Yu Xiang's arm and lowered his voice, but made sure that Zhou Fengxia and Yu Nian could hear him.

"Dad, did you notice?"

"The people who come to see Brother Nian recently are not ordinary people! They are either big bosses or officials!"

"Our Yu family is really doing well now, thanks to Xiaobai and Brother Nian."

These words not only showed off their family's "connections", but also subtly elevated Yu Bai, and even hinted that the three of them, father and son, were now "family members" and they were proud of it.

Zhou Fengxia listened without any reaction and did not respond.

Yu Nian was concentrating on serving food to Yu Bai, as if he didn't hear anything.

Yu Bai naturally wouldn't tell them that these people came for her batch of effective brain-stimulating and calming incense.

Yu Bai could clearly see the little thoughts on the faces of Yu Dongshun and his two sons. They were just some jumping clowns, so she was too lazy to expose them.

She just smiled faintly, picked up a piece of vegetables with chopsticks and put it into her bowl, chewing it slowly.
