Ye Lei took out several boxes of instant noodles from his spatial storage. These instant noodles emitted an enticing aroma. He knew that food had a huge appeal to people, especially in this place where goods were exchanged, and it could quickly attract the attention of others.
Next, he carefully selected some exquisite cosmetics and fashionable sun hats. He thought to himself, "If we don't make some preparations, Xiuxiu and Honghaier will look like zombies, and the other will look like zombies. They might be arrested as aliens before they even reach the entrance of the scenic area."
As for the Gale Leopard, Ye Lei wasn't worried. That guy was agile and strong, and the small scenic area gate couldn't stop him at all. He could freely choose any path to enter the scenic area.
Finally, Ye Lei turned his gaze to Chen Xueer and handed her a sexy and charming slip dress. Chen Xueer understood immediately and put on the dress, instantly becoming even more charming and graceful.
After everything was ready, Ye Lei parked the car about 100 meters away from the entrance of the scenic area.
Then, carrying the adorable Red Boy in his arms and a bag full of instant noodles in his hand, he strolled towards the entrance of the scenic area. From a distance, they looked like a happy and harmonious family of four.
"Halt! Who are you?"
Fully armed scavengers blocked their way.
"Oh, I have some instant noodles here. I'd like to go in and exchange them for some daily necessities!"
Ye Lei replied calmly.
"What? Instant noodles? It's been so long since the apocalypse, and there are still instant noodles?"
The scavenger was clearly shocked by the availability of such supplies.
"Look, I've preserved it perfectly, I guarantee it hasn't expired!"
After Ye Lei finished speaking, he opened the bag, revealing the convenient outer packaging inside.
"My God! It really is instant noodles! Even in the apocalypse, if it's expired, it's still a delicacy! Please, please come in!"
The scavenger led Ye Lei and his group toward the door, knowing that exchanging supplies here required a cut, meaning they might get a sip of the leftover instant noodle soup from the bosses' meals.
However, just as they reached the door, the scavengers seemed to realize that they still had to undergo an inspection before they could go in. Otherwise, if their superiors found out, they might not even have the chance to see instant noodles.
"Hello, according to regulations, you are not allowed to bring any weapons into the scavenger village. If you have any, you can leave them there and take them with you when you come out!"
The scavenger pointed to the "item storage area" next to him and said that Ye Lei saw a lot of people there, which showed that more and more people now had weapons for self-defense.
"Of course not, you can search me as you please!"
Ye Lei put down his instant noodles and stretched out his arms.
I'm sorry!
They all held such traders in high regard, but when the scavenger stood in front of Chen Xueer, he was completely stunned by her beauty!
"Hey sir, weren't you going to search me? Are you still going to search me or not?"
Chen Xueer smiled, startling the scavenger who finally realized what was happening.
"Beautiful... you're dressed so scantily, there's no need to search you, and there's nowhere to hide weapons!"
Faced with such a stunningly beautiful woman, the scavenger dared not make a move, fearing that he might touch something he shouldn't and be scolded by the beauty, which would be quite embarrassing!
"In that case, may we go in, sir?"
Chen Xueer didn't need to use any seductive arts; she had already conquered him with her own charm alone.
"Let them in... let them in, of course, no problem. Open the door and let them in!"
The scavenger shouted to the gatekeeper.
Ye Lei, carrying instant noodles, strode into the scenic area. Upon seeing this, the scavenger hurriedly ran to a nearby guard post, picked up the phone, and reported to his superior that he had discovered an extremely rare and precious resource—instant noodles! Of course, he also didn't forget to report that he had also found a stunningly beautiful woman.
When Ye Lei stepped into the scenic area, he was completely shocked by the scene before him. It turned out that a large number of survivors had gathered here, and most of them were staring intently at the huge display screen next to them, which was constantly scrolling through various lists of supplies.
The square was surrounded by colorful flags with the words "Scavenger Tribe" scrawled on them in paint. These flags fluttered freely in the mountain breeze, and below them stood a group of fully armed scavengers with guns.
A bright red sheet of paper at the entrance clearly outlined the precautions for exchanging supplies. It turned out that privately exchanging supplies was absolutely forbidden in this place.
Violating the rules can result in penalties ranging from confiscation of supplies and expulsion from the tribe to more severe punishments, though the specifics are not clearly stated. One can imagine that simply surviving would be considered very lucky.
If you want to exchange supplies, you must go to the registration desk to register, and then hand over the supplies to the scavengers for processing. In this way, the supplies you provide will be continuously displayed on the screen.
If someone is interested in your supplies and wants to exchange them with you, they only need to give the corresponding number to complete the transaction. It all seems fair, reasonable, and well-organized.
However, when you hand over the supplies you have painstakingly collected to the scavenger, an unexpected situation occurs: of the four boxes of instant noodles that Ye Lei placed, only three boxes are displayed!
Clearly, these scavengers had already taken their cut, after all, how could they easily let go of such rare and precious resources as instant noodles? Faced with this situation, Ye Lei couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and helplessness.
Ye Lei smiled and didn't offer any explanation. After all, his purpose in coming here wasn't to exchange supplies, but to find out their background first. He smiled, took the number plate, and left.
However, when Ye Lei's instant noodles appeared on the scrolling screen, it clearly caused quite a stir in the originally quiet square.
"Oh my god! I can't believe my eyes, there are even instant noodles!"
"Impossible! What time is it? It should have been eaten long ago!"
"Could it be that they've made a mistake?"
"A mistake? How could that be? Have you ever seen them make a mistake?"
"That's right, no way, I have to get those three boxes of instant noodles, oh my god, those are instant noodles!"
"You? What supplies do you have to trade with them?"
"I... I can offer all my savings, right?"
"Then you should go and give it a try, but you'd better hurry up, or someone else will take it!"
"That's right, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
After saying this, the man ran towards the registration desk, and many other survivors ran even faster than him. The once empty registration desk was instantly filled with people.
