"Is there anything else, Miss Ye?" Wang Heng turned around and asked.
"Mr. Wang, do you have any other energy pills?" Ye Ning asked earnestly.
“This…” Wang Heng pondered for a moment, then looked troubled. “I do have some, but not much.”
"Mr. Wang, I'd like to exchange a few more with you, is that alright?" Ye Ning asked.
Wang Heng thought about it for a moment. Although he had already made a promise to someone else, there was nothing wrong with it if Ye Ning offered a high price.
"Besides the one I just gave to Miss Ye, I have three more that I can trade."
"Miss Ye, what do you intend to offer in exchange?" Three perfectly round and gleaming energy pellets appeared in Wang Heng's palm.
"I wonder if this will work!" Ye Ning took out two bottles of Vitamin C from her spatial storage, and then two vials of antibiotics.
Wang Heng's eyes practically lit up. The reason he offered an energy pill in exchange was partly because he saw the potential in Ye Ning and the others.
On the other hand, a certain bigwig fell seriously ill and urgently needed to supplement vitamin C, so he searched everywhere for fresh fruits and vegetables.
“Of course!” Wang Heng said, his eyes shining.
Ye Ning felt relieved; she had indeed picked up the right thing.
"But Miss Ye, isn't it a bit too little to exchange three energy pills for two bottles of vitamin C and two bottles of antibiotics?"
Ye Ning hesitated for a moment, then took out two more bottles and a dozen antibiotic injections from her spatial storage.
At this time, antibiotics are undoubtedly the most precious, because apart from H country, they are almost impossible to produce in large quantities elsewhere, and they are commonly used medicines after getting sick.
After intense bargaining, Ye Ning finally traded two dozen antibiotics, six bottles of vitamin C, and two packets of cold medicine for three energy pills.
Since the apocalypse has only just begun, many medicines in the ruins of pharmacies have not yet expired.
In the later stages of the superpower era, a single injection of antibiotics would be enough to cause a group of people to fight bloody battles. With the supplies Ye Ning has brought out now, it would be enough to exchange for five times the amount of energy pills.
However, Ye Ning didn't care, because before the apocalypse began, she had stockpiled several truckloads of medicine, enough to last her a lifetime.
Now that the transaction was complete, Ye Ning and Wang Heng agreed on the location for their next meeting, and then got into the jeep to return to the shelter.
On the way back, Ye Ning couldn't help but ask, "Jing Chen, do you think Wang Heng is a reliable person?"
"Of course it's unreliable!" Xiao Jingchen replied without hesitation while driving. "However, businessmen are profit-driven. Although he might waver, he won't offend anyone unless there are special circumstances. Exchanging some supplies with him wouldn't be a bad idea!"
Xiao Jingchen and Ye Ning returned to the shelter safely.
Upon opening the gate of the first wall, one could see Lei Siming squatting in the middle of the vegetable garden, tending to a row of seedlings.
"You're back! How did it go today?" Lei Siming asked expectantly.
"That's good, Xiao Lei. Stop what you're doing and come to the conference room with me. I have something important to tell you." Ye Ning pulled Lei Siming up from his squatting position.
"What's important?" Lei Siming asked as he struggled.
You'll see when you get there!
Ye Ning pulled Lei Siming into the conference room.
This meeting room was originally one of the warehouses used to store firewood.
Later, when the shelter became more crowded, Ye Ning stored most of the wood in her space, making room for this spot. She installed a crystal chandelier, placed a round table and chairs in the middle, and it became a temporary large conference room. Last year, during the Spring Festival, the New Year's Eve dinner was also cooked here.
"Sister Ye Ning! Why did you pull me over here?" Lei Siming asked, puzzled.
Ye Ning slowly opened her palm, revealing her hand and the slightly glowing white pill in her heart.
"What is this?" Lei Siming asked curiously, taking it in his hand and examining it.
"This is an energy pill," Ye Ning explained simply. "It's made by absorbing energy from sunlight using a special instrument."
"This little dumpling is actually extracted from the energy of sunlight?" Lei Siming's eyes widened.
"Absolutely right!"
"It was extracted using an instrument. What kind of instrument was it?"
Ye Ning shook her head helplessly. Whenever these things were mentioned, Lei Siming would turn into a walking encyclopedia of questions.
"Xiao Lei, don't worry about these details. Who knows, you might have the chance to see a machine like this in the future."
"What you need to do now is swallow it," Ye Ning said in a low voice.
"Swallow it? What?" Lei Siming stood there dumbfounded. How could he just swallow such a precious pill?
"I told you to swallow it!" Ye Ning snatched the energy pill from Lei Siming's hand and forced it into his mouth.
Caught off guard, Lei Siming felt a surge of heat travel from his throat to his lower abdomen.
"I feel so hot!" Lei Siming said anxiously as he took off his coat.
"Xiao Lei, don't worry about the details. Now, quickly sit cross-legged on the ground and feel this flow of energy. Let it comfortably circulate through your meridians. Finally, gather it in your dantian. During the circulation, you must absorb as much energy as possible from the energy pill."
Lei Siming quickly sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began absorbing the energy from the energy pill as instructed by Ye Ning.
Fifteen minutes later, Lei Siming finally absorbed all the energy from the energy pill.
"How is it? How does Xiao Lei feel?" Ye quickly stepped forward and asked.
"I didn't feel anything special, just a warm feeling all over my body, which made me feel full of energy." Lei Siming showed off his thin arms.
While exchanging for energy pills now is not appropriate, these energy pills are the easiest to use to help people break through their limits because they absorb the energy from the earliest bursts of solar storms.
"Xiao Lei, hurry up and try it out, see if your superpower has broken through yet?" Ye Ning urged.
