Chapter 425 New Discovery
The prices on the price list given by Fang Yuxin were completely different from what General Song had imagined. It could even be said that compared to his psychological price, the prices were ridiculously low!
Their business base was currently short of food, and he thought the other party might ask for a lot, but he didn't expect them to be so generous! In this case, either there was something fishy going on, or these people were really just here to help.
General Song hesitated for a moment, then he raised his head and looked at the three people not far away. These three people, two men and one woman, although they all looked ordinary, had extraordinary temperaments. Judging from his years of practiced eyesight, these three people were definitely outstanding! Moreover, the three of them had clear and upright eyes, and did not look like sinister villains.
So he felt relieved and asked tentatively: "Are the prices above real?"
Fang Yuxin nodded. She was indeed here to help, but she also knew that if she was too humble, it would make these people feel uneasy, so she added, "Of course it's true, but the thing has to satisfy me."
General Song had been looking at the three of them. Seeing that Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang were silent and had no objection to Fang Yuxin's words, he felt relieved and said, "In that case, I will have someone prepare it and I will make sure that the three of you are satisfied. This is not a place to talk. Why don't you three come sit down in the base?"
The three of them nodded, then drove the truck into the base and parked it in an open space. Then, General Song invited them to wait inside. There happened to be a house nearby, and neither the top management of the base nor Fang Yuxin thought it was a problem. Soon the house was cleaned up and decorated into a presentable room.
After both parties sat down, someone spoke up, trying to find out the three people's background: "Where are you three from?" This person also saw that it was Fang Yuxin who had been speaking, so he spoke directly to Fang Yuxin.
Unfortunately, Fang Yuxin did not speak this time. Instead, Bai Ye, who had been silent all the time, suddenly looked at him with a smile and said unceremoniously: "If you are worried, you can choose not to trade with us." The situation is still very chaotic. Neither Bai Ye nor Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang are willing to expose the Hope Base to everyone.
The man was disappointed. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it. Not to mention that the food was urgently needed by the base and he could not give it up at all. The aura of a fourth-level psychic that Bai Ye deliberately released was enough to make him afraid.
The others saw this scene and knew that these people were not easy to deal with, so they stopped asking questions and after a few polite words, they arranged for someone to bring them a plate of fresh fruit and quickly set up things in an effort to exchange them for food.
The three of them had come to deliver food, so they naturally wouldn't make too much trouble about the price. After the people in the base prepared the items on the price list, the three of them exchanged glances and the deal was done.
Until this moment, all the top leaders of the base finally breathed a sigh of relief. In order to thank the three for their generosity, they specially prepared a very sumptuous banquet for them. The banquet was full of delicacies that the top leaders of the base would not normally eat. However, Fang Yuxin and the other two did not take such a sumptuous banquet seriously.
Fang Yuxin and his friends have always eaten food from the space. The food itself has spiritual energy, and Fang Yuxin cooked it with the alchemy furnace, so the taste is simply incomparable to ordinary food. Even though many of these foods are produced by wood-type superpowers, they are tasteless to Fang Yuxin and his friends.
In order to avoid being noticed by the senior officials of the base, the three of them ate some reluctantly, appearing very polite. The senior officials of the Shangshi base saw this scene and felt that they were indeed worthy of being fourth-level psychics. The food they usually ate was probably some delicacies from land and sea, so even when they saw such a sumptuous banquet, the three of them were able to remain calm and not lose their composure at all.
Fang Yuxin and the others knew that these people were overthinking, but they said nothing. They stayed at the Shangshi base for a while, then left the place and continued to go south. As for what would happen to the Shangshi base in the future, it was not their concern. Forty tons of food was not much for the hundreds of thousands of people in the Shangshi base, but with this food, the people in the base could at least survive for a while, and this time was enough for them to think of a solution.
After leaving the Shangshi base, the three went to hunt some zombies nearby, which indirectly helped the Shangshi base. Shangshi was not without farmland, but the farmland was not close to the Shangshi base. Now the population of Shangshi base had reached the point of oversaturation. If they wanted to make everyone live well, they had to think of ways to build more bases nearby and let some of the population move out.
It's just that there are too many zombies around, and Qiu Yiming left with tens of thousands of superpowers, causing the base to lose a large number of manpower, which almost forced them to a dead end. Now Fang Yuxin and the other two have cleared some of the zombies nearby. As long as the top management of the Shangshi base has some brains, building some small bases nearby will definitely solve the problem of overpopulation and food shortage in the base.
However, these problems should be the headaches for General Song and others. After Fang Yuxin and the other two did what they should do, they continued to walk slowly southward. They had previously discovered that Qiu Yiming had brought people to the Bei City base, and they thought that there was something wrong with the Shang City base, so they came here on purpose. Now that the problem has been solved, the three of them are no longer busy on the road, but hunt zombies while walking, and by the way, they also collected a lot of Yuanshi.
At present, many people in the base have discovered the existence of Yuanshi and the use of Yuanjing, but now the communication between bases is cut off, and not all survivors in the country know about it. So Fang Yuxin and the other two can occasionally find some leaks while walking along the way.
They hunted zombies all the way like this, and when they were tired, they would rest and meditate in the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, or have a big meal, or go to the trial ground to challenge the levels. A month passed unknowingly, and their state of mind was gradually changing in their constant experience.
It was already December, but because they were all in the south, the weather was not cold at all, and even felt warm like spring, which was completely different from the situation in Long Province. The three of them received several messages from Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe on their way, saying that Long Province was getting colder and colder, so in order to ensure that the people in the base could spend the winter safely, Bai Zhengyi had sent the Hope Team to other places to purchase coal mines.
Because of the adequate preparations and the fact that coal mines were not a scarce resource, and were more attractive than food, things went very smoothly. With these coal mines, the situation in the base improved. Not only could they be used for heating, but they could also be used for cooking, so they no longer had to eat simple foods like compressed biscuits every day.
Moreover, the "evil demons" or advanced zombies that Fang Yuxin and the others were worried about, which made the three of them feel relieved.
Hopefully the base is alright, the three of them have no more worries and plan to continue their training outside. The climate in the south is warm, and zombies are more active than in other places, so groups of zombies often attack the base.
The situation here is much more serious than in Long Province. Fang Yuxin and the other two had just entered the middle stage of foundation building not long ago, and their spiritual awareness was more acute than before, especially Fang Yuxin, because she was a pure wood spirit body, and she was more sensitive to the energy between heaven and earth than Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang. After arriving in the south, she found that the resentment here was stronger than in the north. To be precise, the more zombies there were and the more miserable the survivors were, the stronger the resentment there was.
Before she could cross the hurdle of the middle stage of foundation building, she only had this feeling vaguely, but it was not very strong. But when she successfully advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, she felt that the whole world had undergone tremendous changes in her eyes.
Some things that were not obvious or not discovered before have now become particularly clear. At first glance, there is a strong sense of resentment everywhere. If we don't find a way to eliminate it, this world will be destroyed sooner or later!
Because of this discovery, the three people's originally happy mood because of their successful promotion became heavy. Fang Yuxin said: "Let's kill as many zombies as possible. I always feel that if we delay for too long, there will be big problems."
Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang both nodded. Although they were not as sensitive as Fang Yuxin, the resentment between heaven and earth also made them feel uncomfortable. If a person dies suddenly, resentment will inevitably arise in their hearts. But when the end of the world came, almost two-thirds of the people turned into zombies directly, and the remaining one-third were also killed or injured by zombies, almost only one in ten survived.
With so many people dying suddenly or even unjustly, they would naturally have more and stronger resentment. But for some reason, there were no evil spirits or anything like that. Otherwise, the situation of the survivors would only become worse.
After the three of them made the decision, they took the initiative to find the zombies and kill them. They acted together and did not sneak into a base or join a zombie hunting team. They went to dangerous places with many zombies and rarely encountered other zombie hunters.
At the Bei City base, Qiu Yiming finally became the leader of the White Wolf Mercenary Group after some tricks. However, due to the solid evidence and Zhao Qiankun's repeated pressure, Bai Zhengyi was eventually sentenced to death by firing squad, and the execution was immediate.
The White Wolf Mercenary Group's reputation was greatly damaged because of Bai Zhengyi. After Qiu Yiming became the leader, he changed the name of the mercenary group to Thunder. At the same time, Shen Xi and Fang Mengyao emerged in the base and joined the Qiankun Mercenary Group.
