Chapter 424 Delivered to your door
Just when the senior executives of the Shangshi Base were feeling overwhelmed, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked open from the outside! With a loud bang, a man rushed in. The senior executives' faces changed, and they were about to get angry, but they saw him shouting with surprise: "General! There are two large trucks outside the base, saying that they are here to trade with us, and they want to exchange food for the supplies in our hands!"
The anger in the top leaders' hearts was like a punctured balloon, disappearing in an instant. An old man in the lead asked impatiently, "Are you serious? Did they really bring food to trade with us?"
Others were also overjoyed, and all had a sense of unreality, like a dream. Someone couldn't help but say, "This is too coincidental, could there be a trick?"
Other high-level officials also had such concerns. It was not that they did not trust people, but it was just a coincidence that they were short of food and someone sent them food. How could it be so good? If it was in peacetime, it would be fine, but now it was the end of the world. They were definitely not the only place experiencing a food crisis, and no one knew what the situation would be like in the future.
Everyone was unsure, so even those bases with sufficient food reserves did not dare to rashly sell them large amounts of food, fearing that something unexpected would happen in the future and they would not be able to feed the people in their bases. So even though they were short of food and very dissatisfied with the cruel practices of other bases, they could still understand the other party's caution.
Now, someone suddenly brought a large amount of food to exchange supplies with them, which is suspicious no matter how you look at it.
The people in the conference room looked at each other, and finally the old man said, "No matter if this is strange or not, since everyone is here, let's go and take a look. If the other party really brought a large amount of food, we can't just turn away the food, right?"
Even so, some people are still worried: "But food is so precious now, and the other party specially transported the food here. The gasoline consumed on the road alone is not a small number. How much supplies do we have to give in exchange?"
These people came to the top of the wall with all kinds of worries, and used binoculars to look at the two large trucks at a safe distance. The two large trucks were very large, and there were traces of repairs by gold power. Judging from the sinking of the tires, the trucks should be carrying very heavy things.
Seeing this scene, many people felt relieved. Before they came, they were most afraid that the other party was lying and there was no so-called food. But now it seems that there is a high possibility of food in the carriage.
In order to confirm this, a psychic was also brought along this time. After he reached the top of the wall, he quietly released his psychic tentacles to probe the situation in the carriage. However, while probing, out of caution, he also tried to probe the people in the two cars.
But when he probed, his face changed! The opponent seemed to be covered by a very solid barrier, and his mental tentacles had no way of penetrating the opponent's barrier. If he tried to penetrate it by force, he would probably be attacked back!
Realizing this, the psychic's face turned pale. It wasn't until he found that the carriage was indeed full of food that his face looked better.
The other senior executives were secretly watching his face, and when they saw that he turned pale, they couldn't wait to ask: "What's the matter? Why do you look so bad? Did the other party lie to us? There is no food in the car at all. The divine ability user shook his head and said through gritted teeth: "No, the car is indeed full of food." Hearing this, the people around him all showed happy smiles on their faces, and their eyes were staring at the two trucks below, fearing that they would disappear out of thin air!
However, they soon heard the psychic continue to say: "But, although there are only three people in the car, their strength is very terrifying. In fact... it is very likely that even Qiu Yiming is not their opponent!"
When he finished speaking, the faces of the people around him who were overjoyed by the food changed drastically, and they looked at the two trucks below in doubt and surprise. Qiu Yiming was almost the strongest person in the Shangshi base, but if even he was not a match for these people, how powerful were these people?
At this moment, the old man suddenly said, "Why bother thinking about these useless things? Since the other party has such strength and brought food with them, I'm afraid they are not asking for the things in our hands, but they know our predicament and want to help us! Go open the door and invite them in."
Some people were worried: "But with their strength, what if they suddenly attack us? Besides, there are only three of them, how can they have so much food? Where did all this food come from? Isn't it too suspicious?"
However, as soon as the man finished speaking, the old man sighed and shook his head: "You also know that they are powerful, but why don't you think about it, with their strength, if they really want to attack our base, why would they use such means? Wouldn't it be easier for them to sneak into the base directly without driving the car? Why bother with this?"
Having said this, he did not continue to speak, but walked downstairs quickly, ready to personally greet the three guests who had come from afar. Many senior executives followed him, intending to greet them together. No matter what the other party wanted, since they had delivered the food they needed most at the moment, they had to show enough sincerity.
Soon the gate of the base opened, and the old man walked out with his men. When Fang Yuxin and the other two saw them coming out, they also got off the truck. Although the three of them concealed their appearance, their temperaments were very unusual and very eye-catching at first glance.
Most of the higher-ups in the Shangshi Base were smart people. They looked at the three people getting off the car. Although they only took a glance, they already knew that these three people were definitely not ordinary people.
Fang Yuxin and the other two also looked at these high-level officials. They had stayed in the Shangshi base for a while, and they had seen many of the high-level officials here, especially the old man in the lead, who was General Song. At that time, Fang Yuxin had just started cultivating immortals and her strength was still very average. Although he guessed that Fang Yuxin must be hiding some secrets, he did not delve into it. Instead, he decided to make friends with her and even specifically told his subordinates not to provoke Fang Yuxin, which helped her avoid a lot of trouble.
When Fang Yuxin saw him again, he found that he had aged a lot. He was full of energy and vigor when he first awakened his superpowers, but unfortunately, after only a few months, he had become an old man who could not bear the burden.
Fang Yuxin was shocked and sighed. The Shangshi base was in such a state, no wonder this person aged so quickly. But she did not regret emptying the food trade city. She did not forget that it was not only her who went to the food trade city, but also Fang Mengyao and Qiu Yiming. If she hadn't emptied the things inside, the things inside would only be cheap for Fang Mengyao!
When Fang Mengyao came to mind, Fang Yuxin couldn't help but feel annoyed again. How could she have forgotten that since Qiu Yiming had arrived at the Bei City Base, then Fang Mengyao must have also arrived at the Bei City Base? She actually missed such a good opportunity, which was really wrong!
Fang Yuxin's face looked very bad because she thought of Fang Mengyao's matter. The senior executives of the Shangshi Base had been secretly watching the faces of the three of them. When they saw her face was bad, they felt a "thump" in their hearts, worried that things were going to go wrong.
General Song, on the other hand, was able to keep his composure. He smiled and said, "I heard that you are the person in charge of the base. I heard that you brought food and wanted to trade with us, so I came to take a look. If you three have any requests, just let us know. As long as we can give you something, we will definitely not be stingy."
Although he was old, he looked like a kind grandfather when he smiled. In addition, his attitude was good, which made people like him easily. Unfortunately, at this time, Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang were focused on Fang Yuxin and had no intention of listening to what he said.
The two of them saw Fang Yuxin's ugly face, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried, wondering what was wrong with her. While the high-level officials in Shangshi were nervously waiting for the three of them to speak, Bai Ye was sending a message to Fang Yuxin: "Xinxin, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"
Fang Yuxin had come back to her senses by this time. Seeing that Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang were both worried about her, and the high-ranking officials in the business city were even more anxious, she first sent a message to the two of them saying "It's okay", and then said to General Song: "There are a total of 40 tons of food on the two vehicles. As long as you can offer a price that satisfies us, all this food can be given to you."
After she finished speaking, she took out a price list that she had prepared long ago from her bosom, and then lightly tapped it with her finger, and the thin paper flew towards General Song. The person standing next to him was obviously responsible for protecting him. When he saw the paper flying towards him, his face suddenly changed: "General, be careful!" While speaking, he had already nervously blocked in front of General Song, and was even ready to take action.
However, General Song's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Fang Yuxin, and then pushed away the person blocking him. Just at this moment, the piece of paper had already reached him, but it suddenly stopped and then gently fell into General Song's open palm.
He looked down at the price list on the paper, and his face suddenly changed! Seeing this, the people around him became nervous again. However, they were concerned about General Song's identity. Although they were anxious, they did not dare to come over and could only worry on the side.
Someone looked at Fang Yuxin and the other two warily, and couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "General, what's wrong? Is the price too high?"
General Song shook his head silently. What shocked him was not that the price was too high, but that the price was too low!
