"When is your next sea voyage? We can come over then."
Gu Jin said to Wang Qingli.
"We will set sail again in three days, and we usually return in the afternoon."
"Okay, then we'll bring other grains to exchange later."
"OK."
After agreeing with Wang Qingli and the others, the group drove off, since they didn't have a car to transport the seafood or that much food.
After driving away from the base, Jiang Li felt as if he had been transported to another world.
This small base has basic food and drink, but the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, and everyone works very hard.
They help each other, they respect the elderly and love their small base, which is like a paradise in the apocalypse.
Although Jiang Li only stayed there for one night, he had a very good impression of it.
"I really hope they can continue living such a peaceful life."
Fu Xiaxia said seriously.
Jiang Li glanced back; in truth, she shared the same hope.
The others remained silent upon hearing this.
In the apocalypse, everything changes in an instant.
Whether this base can continue like this is unknown, but Jiang Li also felt that although he was born in the apocalypse, he could not completely lose hope.
Jiang Li quickly composed himself, then took out a map and handed it to Fu Xiaxia and the others behind him. He then took out a map for himself and began to look at it.
"Looks like we'll have to find somewhere else to stay for the next few days."
The others behind him also started studying the map Jiang Li had given them.
It's only a day or two's drive from here to the Xinghai base, but they certainly won't go there at this time.
The group looked at the map and finally chose a place that was two or three hours' drive away from here. It was a place that was not too far from here, would not be seen, and was not on the route to the Star Sea Base.
Their only hope was that there was no one else there, and thankfully, there was no one there when they went over.
On the third day at noon, Jiang Li and his group set off after lunch. They were driving a medium-sized truck today, which was thanks to Jiang Li's habit of storing things in his space whenever he felt they were useful, otherwise they would have had a hard time finding a truck at this time.
The carriage contained the food that the group had bought at the base supermarket before leaving the first base. This food was originally intended to cover their tracks, since they needed to take enough food with them when they left.
There were also some supplies that the group had found outside since the apocalypse. Everything they had found before had been stored in Jiang Li's space because it was really convenient. Over the years, there had been quite a lot of things in the space. They had just been putting things in there all along, but after sorting them out, they found there was still quite a lot.
Jiang Li also took out some sweet potatoes and potatoes, which he had grown himself in his space, as well as four or five wolf pelts. They hadn't used them yet; Jiang Li and his group had collected quite a few when the animals attacked the base before, and there were many of these in his space.
The truck wasn't completely full; there was still some space. The two parties had already agreed on the amount to be exchanged, which was more than enough for the seafood, and possibly even more, since seafood here was indeed cheaper than other grains.
The exchange rate between Jiang Li and them was already higher than that of those who went to the base. For example, at the base, one pound of seafood could be exchanged for half a pound of staple food, while Jiang Li and his group could exchange one pound of seafood for seven ounces of staple food.
Wang Qingli and the others originally wanted to follow the base's prices, but Jiang Li and the others felt a bit embarrassed because seafood was quite expensive where they lived.
In the end, both parties were quite satisfied with the result and felt that they had come out on top.
Shi Lin and Shi Yuan drove a truck, which had limited seating; the others rode in the SUV they had previously driven.
Upon arriving at the base entrance, Wu Lixin was already waiting there, presumably knowing that Jiang Li and his group would be there today.
Upon seeing the familiar vehicle, Wu Lixin's eyes lit up. He happily waved to the back, and the gate opened. Jiang Li and the others followed Wu Lixin into the base.
The car stopped in the square, where Wang Qingli and the others were organizing goods. Judging from their attire, they had just returned and hadn't even had time to change their clothes. As soon as the car was parked, Wu Lixin came to greet them.
"You've come at the right time. The base commander and the others have just returned and are currently taking inventory of the goods."
After the group got out of the car, Wang Qingli also came over. They greeted each other before getting down to business.
"You're lucky; you've had a very good harvest this time, with a wide variety of crops."
Wang Qingli and the people at the base were all smiles, it seemed this time it really went well, and Jiang Li and the others were also very happy to hear that.
“We brought ours too, you can have someone come and check them.”
Gu Jin pointed to the truck behind them and said.
Wang Qingli glanced at the truck, then asked Wu Lixin to lead the way in checking the goods. Wu Lixin immediately and happily gathered his men, and Shi Lin and Shi Yuan also went to check the goods together.
Wang Qingli turned to look at Gu Jin and the others and asked.
"Do you have any containers prepared for storing the fish? If so, I'll have someone pack them for you."
"Yes, it's in the truck. We'll go get it."
Just as Gu Jin finished speaking and was about to lead the remaining people to retrieve the items, Wang Qingli spoke again.
"It's okay, I'll have someone bring it over."
After Wang Qingli finished speaking, she immediately found someone to bring their things over, and Jiang Li and the others did not go to get them anymore.
Jiang Li and his team prepared plastic water tanks, which could hold each type of seafood in a separate tank.
Because they had requested live seafood, Wang Qingli and her group brought back a lot of seawater this time. In addition to the container for the seafood, Wang Qingli also brought them an extra large box of seawater, thinking that it might be useful to Jiang Li and his group. So now Jiang Li and his group no longer feel that they don't have enough seawater.
After that, the people at the base also volunteered to do the work of loading the seafood. Everyone at the base knew that they were going to exchange for food, so they were all very happy and took the initiative to come and do the work. They refused to let Jiang Li and the others do any work. In the end, the few of them only lent a hand, and the rest was done by the people at the base.
While watching them clean up, Jiang Li saw many kinds of seafood, including conger eels, swimming crabs, tiger prawns, mantis shrimp, and all sorts of fish that Jiang Li could and couldn't name.
There were also many abalone, starfish, razor clams, hard clams, cat's eye snails and other shellfish. Jiang Li had seen videos of beachcombing online before, and it seemed that you had to go to the beach to find them.
Jiang Li didn't understand either, so he didn't know whether Wang Qingli and the others had specifically gone to find it for them.
The area around City S is all by the sea. Even if not everyone goes out to go beachcombing, they will at least recognize seafood. So, to avoid giving away the secret by asking, he didn't bring it up.
After counting and packing, the group discussed it and gave some reward to the people who had helped earlier. Even so, Jiang Li and his group still had some food left over.
The people at the base were very grateful to them; this transaction was much more cost-effective than their trip to the Starsea Base.
