Chapter 192 Completely Disproportionate Value
A few minutes later, Cheng Shenghong came over again and said with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Han Shuo, it's fate that we met. You can rest here in peace and trust our character."
"We are all smart people, and I believe none of us would do anything to harm harmony."
Han Shuo responded with a smile, then pulled the fat man over.
"Hey, Fatty punctured your tires earlier, I apologize on his behalf."
Cheng Shenghong waved his hand, completely unconcerned.
"It's alright, I understand. If I were in that situation, I probably would have done the same. Besides, didn't I also puncture your tires? So I got my revenge, haha."
The two exchanged a smile and didn't mention the matter again.
...
It was already dark, and everyone was quite tired. Han Shuo chatted with Cheng Shenghong for a while longer before turning around and walking to a corner of the camp to prepare for a rest.
Han Shuo vaguely noticed that Fatty's behavior was a bit off. Normally, Fatty would be the most active one, but now he was sitting quietly to the side without making a sound.
Han Shuo knew that he guessed it was the aftereffects of being scratched by the zombies that were manifesting.
At this moment, the fat man's body was already hot, showing signs of fever.
It's early summer, and the five of them are still in the south, where the temperature is slightly higher than in the north.
The climate here is just right; you won't feel cold even if you sleep outdoors.
Li Shurou had already laid out the bedding on the floor, preparing to let the fat man lie down first.
At this moment, Han Shuo heard footsteps behind him, turned around and saw Cheng Shenghong walking towards him.
"Brother Han Shuo, these are two extra tents we have. You can use them first. It's always more comfortable to sleep in a tent."
As he spoke, Cheng Shenghong handed over the tent that he had folded up.
Having a tent would be even better, and Han Shuo didn't refuse or act coy, smiling as he reached out to take it.
"Haha, Brother Demon Man, thank you so much!"
After thanking him, Han Shuo called Xiao Zhao, and the two prepared to set up the tent first.
Cheng Shenghong, who was standing to the side, did not leave. He smoothed his hair and then continued speaking.
"Brother Han Shuo, do you still need food and water?"
Han Shuo was surprised by Cheng Shenghong's politeness, but still politely declined the other party's offer.
"Thank you, but we don't need the food. We have enough on our own, and these two tents are already very good."
Han Shuo remembered that when he first entered the camp, he didn't see any food, and Cheng Shenghong's men didn't take much food with them in the car.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced into the distance and, under the moonlight, saw that Cheng Shenghong's tent had quite a lot of food.
Where did all this food come from?
Han Shuo was a little curious and asked.
"Huh? Brother Demon, where did you hide the food before?"
Cheng Shenghong didn't seem to care at all, and then explained.
"Hey, they dug a hole and buried it in the ground, but they dug it out as soon as we got back."
Bury the food in the ground?
Well, that's a good idea. Even if other survivors find this place, they probably won't realize that the food is hidden in the ground.
Han Shuo smiled and said nothing more.
Seeing that the two were setting up the tent, Cheng Shenghong didn't want to disturb them too much, so he left a message and turned back.
"Alright, Brother Han Shuo, you guys get back to work and get some rest. If you need anything, you can come find me."
Cheng Shenghong probably knew that fire would attract something terrible, so no fire was lit in the camp.
"Okay, it is indeed a bit late today. Let's talk again when it's light tomorrow."
He had thought that Cheng Shenghong had come to discuss the matter of medicines and supplies with him again.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Shenghong didn't mention it at all.
Since he didn't bring it up, Han Shuo didn't bother to think about it anymore.
Soon, the two tents were set up.
"Shurou, Waidi, you two can share a tent with Fatty and take care of him."
"Xiao Zhao and I will share a tent, so you can rest easy. We'll take turns keeping watch."
Currently, the campsite seems relatively safe, but since it belongs to someone else, Han Shuo felt he should be cautious and made arrangements as usual.
"Okay, no problem."
None of the four had any objections. They first gathered in a tent and checked on the fat man's condition.
Li Shurou then said that the fat man's condition was the same as theirs last time, just a normal fever reaction, and there was nothing to worry about.
After confirming that everything was alright, Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao returned to their tent.
And so, the two took turns keeping watch, and the night passed peacefully.
...
The next morning, Cheng Shenghong saw Han Shuo come out of the tent and hurriedly went to greet him.
"Brother Han Shuo, how was it? Did you sleep well last night?"
Han Shuo came out of the fat man's tent. It was just dawn when he went to check on the fat man's condition.
The fat man's high fever has subsided, but he is still in poor spirits and has little energy. He probably hasn't fully recovered yet.
It seems that the group may need to stay here for another two days.
Anyway, they've been out for so long, so they're not in a hurry. Now that they've obtained the necessary supplies, it doesn't matter if it's a couple of days earlier or later.
Han Shuo noticed that Cheng Shenghong's long hair was wet, as if it had just been washed.
"This guy, even with everything like this outside, is he still so concerned about his hair?"
He found it somewhat hard to understand, but he still smiled and spoke.
"Brother Yao Nan, we all had a good rest."
"That's good, that's good..."
After Cheng Shenghong finished speaking, there was some hesitation in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, but still spoke his mind.
"Brother Han, as I mentioned yesterday, could you spare a truckload of medicine and supplies for us? It's really important to us."
Sure enough, he brought it up again.
Han Shuo frowned but remained silent.
Cheng Shenghong quickly continued.
“We can trade what we have for it. Just tell us what you want, and we’ll give it to you.”
Han Shuo hadn't expected Cheng Shenghong to be so persistent. Most importantly, he really couldn't understand why they needed so many supplies.
He couldn't help but ask.
"Are these supplies really that important? What exactly do you want with them?"
After saying this, Cheng Shenghong smiled awkwardly, still not revealing the true purpose.
Since he didn't want to talk about it, Han Shuo didn't bother to ask anymore. He turned his head to examine the other party's valuables and carefully calculated in his mind.
"Hmm... the only things they can probably offer are guns and food."
"12 different kinds of guns, but we don't lack those."
"Although there is a lot of food, its value is completely unequal compared to a truckload of medicines and supplies."
"Even if they give us all their food and weapons, it's still far less than a truckload of medicine and supplies."
"A truckload of medicines and supplies, in exchange for food in the underground research institute, is enough to feed the five of us for more than three months."
...
Han Shuo shook his head, sighed, and said to Cheng Shenghong.
"Sigh, it's still far from enough..."
