The next day, Zheng Kai headed to Yixiantian with only two attendants. They were there to negotiate, and bringing too many people would only give people a hostile impression.
The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the Yixiantian Scenic Area. They threw all their weapons into the car, leaving themselves alone. Only in this way could they make the other party feel their sincerity. After getting out of the car, Zheng Kai took a deep breath and then led his two men towards the entrance of the scenic area.
Ma Jing, who was in the monitoring room, had already spotted the unfamiliar luxury car. She immediately became alert, and her heart tightened even more when she saw three people get out. Who were these people? Why were they here?
Ma Jing dared not let her guard down. She immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the situation to Ye Lei. After learning that a stranger had arrived, Ye Lei rushed to the monitoring room. When he saw the scene on the screen, his expression became serious because he recognized one of the people at a glance—Zheng Kai!
"Hey there at the door, what brings you here again?"
Ye Lei shouted into the microphone.
"Haha... Hello there, I've come to ask you for a favor!"
Looking at the monitor, Zheng Kai instantly understood why the drone was discovered so quickly last night.
"I've already told you, the scavenger tribe has been wiped out by the army. There's no longer any exchange of goods here. Please leave!"
"We're not here to exchange supplies; we just want to talk to you!"
Zheng Kai smiled and went along with it.
"Talk? What do you have to talk to me about?"
Ye Lei had no idea what Zheng Kai's purpose was in coming here.
"It's the apocalypse now. Everyone needs necessities to survive, right? After all, this isn't something that can be solved with money!"
Zheng Kai planned to lure Ye Lei step by step; only if the other party became interested would there be a possibility of continuing the conversation.
"You're right, but I don't think I need anything anymore!"
Ye Lei smiled faintly.
"Oh, really? Your shelter is so big, you must not be alone, right? Don't they need it either?"
"Haha... Thanks for reminding me. I really hadn't considered that. Let me wait a moment and ask them!"
"Alright, no problem, we'll wait here for good news!"
One sentence really reminded Ye Lei. To be honest, since he had saved so many goddesses, he had never asked them what they needed.
"Ma Jing, you stay here and keep watch. I'll go ask them if they need anything. Also, think about what you need and let me know in a bit."
Ye Lei is currently very busy, and besides, he is already far from the city center, so he no longer has the time or energy to collect supplies.
"Okay, Brother Lei, you go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things here."
After Ma Jing finished speaking, she stared intently at the screen. Ye Lei then left the monitoring room and walked towards the living room.
When he got to the living room, he found everyone sitting there dumbfounded, no one talking, looking bored and somewhat depressed.
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? Why aren't you turning on the TV? It's so stuffy."
"Brother Lei, don't you know? Since we moved here, there's been no TV signal. It's probably because we're too far from the city center!"
Xia Yuhe stared at the dark television screen and said.
"That's right. We're already at the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains, so there's definitely no TV signal here. But we can watch it on our phones. Who doesn't have a phone? I have plenty here."
Ye Lei had indeed forgotten about that, but his storage space could hold many high-end mobile phones.
"Brother Lei, this phone is useless now. It's been here for so long, and it's just been showing 'searching for networks,' but there's no signal at all!"
Chen Xueer angrily threw her Apple 1000 phone on the table.
"Oh! There's no cell phone signal either? Does that mean we're completely cut off from the outside world now?"
Back in the city, communication wasn't a big problem, and Ye Lei hadn't given it much thought. But now that he's here, communication has become a major issue.
"That's more like it. In that case, why don't we go to the manor and grow some vegetables to pass the time?"
Xu Jiao suggested.
"Hey! That's a good suggestion. It's better than staying cooped up in the house."
Sarah agreed to the proposal.
"Let's go!"
"good"
As everyone left the villa and headed toward the shelter's manor, only Ye Lei remained standing there. He seemed to suddenly understand what the shelter truly needed. Just then, someone happened to be at the door, so he decided to seize the opportunity to talk to them.
To show his sincerity and determination, Ye Lei did not choose to return to the monitoring room, but instead walked directly out of the shelter without hesitation.
Only in this way can the negotiations proceed more smoothly and conveniently. Meanwhile, Zheng Kai, who was hiding in the shade, was secretly delighted when he saw Ye Lei come out. He thought to himself, "This time, things might be going well!" So, he hurriedly went to greet him.
"Hello, Ye Lei!"
Zheng Kai waved from afar.
"Zheng Kai, right? Hello!"
Ye Lei still remembers this name.
"Yes, you have a good memory. Seeing you come out, the shelter must indeed need something, right?"
Zheng Kai got straight to the point, saying that this actually showed more sincerity.
"You're right, we do need some things, but I'm afraid you might not have them."
Ye Lei looked at him and said calmly.
"Oh! Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you!"
"Well, actually I could get these things myself, but I'm just too busy to find the time!"
