"When will the supplies arrive?"
After calming down, Fu Tian asked again with an expectant look on his face.
"I will send someone to deliver the supplies to the Beijing base at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. You can have someone wait at the Beijing base."
Shen Nanxing pondered for a moment, then gave Fu Tian a precise time.
"Okay, then I'll go back and wait."
Fu Tian stood up and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Thank you."
Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an immediately stood up. Shen Nanxing walked up to Fu Tian and said, "No need to thank me, it's just a matter of mutual benefit."
Fu Tian didn't say anything, but he felt even more grateful.
There's no such thing as each getting what they need.
Five tons of grain is enough to hire countless superhumans.
The Shen family has no shortage of people who can deliver crystal cores to them, especially level one crystal cores.
The food he seeks today is for ordinary people without superpowers, ordinary people who could have survived by building the base.
After Fu Tian left, Shen Nanxing made arrangements for transferring animal supplies to the Beijing base.
After hearing about the expenditure of five tons of grain, Old Master Shen sent someone to inquire about it.
After learning about the situation in Jingshikou, I didn't ask any more questions.
......
"What? The Shen family gave us 5 tons of grain?"
Both the Lin and Bai families echoed with this sound, filled with disbelief and anger.
"Yes, Fu Tian spread the news as soon as he returned to the Beijing base. Now, whether it's people in the Beijing base or survivors outside Beijing, they all praise the Shen family highly."
This situation is likely to be detrimental to us. Moreover, the actions of the Bi family have already caused panic among many survivors. If they find out that they created those monsters, I'm afraid...
Lin Ting looked at Old Master Lin, his eyes dark and deep, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Having overwhelming power is enough to suppress those opposing, weak voices."
Old Master Lin glanced at Lin Ting and said, "Or if you want to kneel at the feet of the Shen family, then my Lin family can withdraw and tell the Shen family everything right now."
Lin Ting lowered his eyes. "Grandpa, that's not what I meant."
"You'd better be," Old Master Lin said in a deep voice, "Don't think the Shen family is oblivious; they're just looking for an opportunity."
"Grandpa, I just feel that the Bi family is not a good partner. Cooperating with them is like playing with fire."
"As long as I trample the Shen family under my feet, I don't care who my partners are."
Even if the Bi family becomes the head of the six families later, it doesn't matter, as long as it's not the Shen family, understand?
Grandpa Lin slammed his cane on the ground, his expression sinister. "If you don't understand, then have your aunt come."
Lin Ting's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly. "I understand."
"Good that you understand."
Old Master Lin suddenly composed himself, as if the sinister old man from before was not him, and regained his composure. "The Shen family is the leader, we can't compete with them, so let's just take one ton."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and instructed, "Take the old grain."
"Yes!" Lin Ting nodded and turned to leave.
Old Master Lin stared intently at his retreating figure.
After a while, he instructed the people around him, "Have Jiayun come over."
The bodyguard beside him immediately went out.
......
The Bai family.
"I heard that the reason the Shen family offered five tons of grain was because of that orphan girl."
Mentioning Jiang Nian'an, Bai Zhenzhen's eyes darkened, and her face, which had already recovered from swelling, began to ache again.
"The key point now is that since the Shen family has taken out so much grain, we can't take too little."
The thought of being forced to send grain away pained Old Master Bai deeply.
"Grandpa, I found out that the Qiao family has two tons less grain than the Shen family, but they have agreed to contribute three tons."
Both the Luo family and the Jiufang family have two tons.
Bai Zeyi hurriedly walked in from outside, his expression complex and unreadable. "The Lin family... one ton."
"One ton?" Old Master Bai was taken aback, muttering, "This old geezer is even stingier than me, and shameless too..."
"Grandpa, what about us?" Bai Zeyi looked at Grandpa Bai.
"We..." Old Master Bai stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, "One and a half tons, a little more than the Lin family's."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Bai Zeyi hurriedly left again.
After Bai Zeyi left, Old Master Bai looked at Bai Zhenzhen and said, "Shen Nanxing's path is not viable. Consider the Bi family. I think Bi Yuan is quite good."
"I don't want him, he's too ugly."
Bai Zhenzhen refused without hesitation, "There might still be hope for Shen Nanxing. I want to try again."
If they could acquire the Shen family, they could completely sever their cooperation with the Bi family.
Bi family...
Bai Zhenzhen's eyes were dark and unfathomable; it was a family that made her feel a chill run through her body if she stayed inside for less than half an hour.
A group of psychopaths.
"I'll give you a maximum of two more months. If that doesn't work, you'll have to listen to me."
Old Master Bai glanced at her indifferently, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Bai Zhenzhen didn't say anything, but a look of determination flashed in her eyes.
Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an were unaware of Bai Zhenzhen and Old Master Bai's plans.
They had changed into night clothes and, under the cover of darkness, quietly left the Shen family and arrived near the Jiu Fang family's residence.
"Little Purple, go scout ahead."
As soon as Jiang Nian'an finished speaking, Xiao Zi, who was wrapped around her wrist, landed and disappeared, entering Jiu Fang's house at top speed to find a blind spot for Jiang Nian'an and the others to defend themselves.
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing remained in place, waiting patiently.
Twenty minutes later, Little Purple came out, its vine tail swaying gently, signaling the two to follow it.
Xiao Zi led the two to the west wall of Jiu Fang's house and gestured for them to climb over the wall.
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing quickly flipped over, and after landing, they saw two people lying in the corner of the wall, their fate unknown.
It's obvious that Xiao Zi knocked him down.
The two continued to follow Xiao Zi.
Thanks to Xiao Zi's advance warning and help in dealing with the bodyguards stationed everywhere, the two arrived smoothly at the entrance of an underground passage.
Jiang Nian'an glanced at Shen Nanxing.
Shen Nanxing shook his head slightly; he didn't know where he was either.
The two of them stepped inside.
In any case, Xiao Zi wouldn't take them to dangerous places.
Xiao Zi led the way. The bodyguards lay sprawled in the tunnel, all unconscious, emanating a fresh plant scent that quickly dissipated into the air.
Shen Nanxing shielded Jiang Nian'an behind him, and cautiously stepped over the bodyguards as they walked inside.
After walking through the tunnel for more than half an hour, the passage became narrower and narrower, until finally the two of them had to squeeze through sideways.
They continued walking along the wall for ten minutes, and the road suddenly widened, revealing a huge underground warehouse in front of them.
It was filled with all sorts of supplies.
"This is... the Jiu Fang family's supply warehouse?"
Jiang Nian'an looked down at Xiao Zi in a daze. Xiao Zi was happily waving its vine tail, trying to curry favor with her.
"......"
She told Xiao Zi that she was looking for Grandpa Jiu Fang and the others, but the little guy led them to Jiu Fang's supply warehouse instead.
