Chapter 72 End of Transaction
Chi Heng took Yu Yao for a walk on the road. After he finished talking to her about the weapons, he started talking about another thing.
"By the way, there is something I want to discuss with you..."
......
Yu Yao followed Chi Heng for about twenty minutes before arriving at an air-raid shelter hidden in the mountains.
It is said to be the resort's backup shelter.
Directly in front is the military dormitory, which has the best security and concealment in this temporary safe zone.
The soldier guarding the door recognized Chi Heng and quickly called Sang Yi out.
Sang Yi saw that there was only Yu Yao following Chi Heng, and subconsciously asked: "Ms. Yu, isn't Miss Luo here?"
Yu Yao tilted her head in surprise, and Chi Heng gave him a cold look.
Sang Yi received the gazes from the two, coughed awkwardly, and said quickly: "No more talking, no more talking, come in quickly."
As he spoke, he signaled the person behind him to open the door, and took Chi Heng and Yu Yao into the air-raid shelter.
......
The air-raid shelter was dry and cool, instantly dispelling the strange heat outside.
When Qi Xian and the other three saw Chi Heng finally arriving with Yu Yao, they immediately came over to greet them.
As they walked over, Chi Heng introduced them in a low voice: "The older one is the person in charge of the safety zone, Commander Chen. The other one is the mayor of Lincheng, Liao Lanjiang, Mayor Liao."
As for the girl following behind Liao Lanjiang, Chi Heng did not introduce her at all.
Maybe they feel there is no need to get to know each other.
Yu Yao was not curious either, but just nodded politely to Commander Chen and Mayor Liao.
The arrival of the end of the world has made these bigwigs who were once in high positions unconsciously become a little more gentle and approachable.
Commander Chen looked at Yu Yao with a smile and praised: "I have heard that there are two powerful female psychics in our safe zone, but I didn't expect them to be so young. It's really formidable to be young. I have to admit it even if I don't want to..."
Mayor Liao looked Yu Yao up and down and replied with a smile, "Yes, it's the world of young people."
Yu Yao smiled faintly, but before she could answer, the girl behind Liao Lanjiang laughed crisply, interrupting the conversation between the two people.
"I think the future will not be dominated by young people, but by people with special abilities."
Although she said this, she glanced at Yu Yao quietly, her eyes full of contempt.
It seems to be saying, without super powers, you are nothing...
Yu Yao raised her brows slightly, but didn't say what she wanted to say, and she lost interest in talking.
Chi Heng and Qi Xian glanced at her coldly and did not respond to her.
Instead, he immediately turned his questioning gaze towards Liao Lanjiang.
It seems to be saying, if you don't speak up to resolve the issue, don't blame us for making things difficult!
Sang Yi on the side couldn't help but frown, but Commander Chen remained calm.
Mayor Liao was the only one who saw the atmosphere become awkward and quickly scolded, "Liao Jing, do you remember what you promised me before you came here? Do you have the right to speak here?"
“Remember, remember…”
Liao Jing curled her lips, looking unhappy.
She just couldn't stand Yu Yao's behavior of making them wait here for half a day.
If it were in the past...
Humph, it’s great that you have superpowers and can kill zombies!
......
She was wrongly accusing Yu Yao.
She was too tired from making talismans last night and slept so soundly that she had no idea when Chi Heng and Qi Xian left.
I really didn't mean to pick on Joe.
As for Chi Heng and Qi Xian, even before the end of the world, they would not necessarily take these so-called big guys seriously.
What's more, they are the party providing weapons, not the party asking for help.
The two of them followed Sang Yi and his companions to look for a location and a warehouse, and they kept haggling over quantity and price.
A whole half day wasted.
Not showing any impatience is already a sign of their upbringing pulling them back.
Do you still expect them to catch up?
That's really overthinking.
......
Liao Jing's attitude made Liao Lanjiang very embarrassed.
After all, it was agreed that the arms deal should not be known to too many people, and the location should be kept secret.
But he couldn't resist his daughter's pleading and begging, so he brought the person over.
This had already caused dissatisfaction among Commander Chen.
Now she is acting like a spoiled little princess and making things difficult for others.
It made him even more embarrassed!
He frowned and scolded Liao Jing: "Liao Jing, be obedient and wait for me outside."
Liao Jing quickly shook her head, "I'm not going out. I want to see how amazing Miss Yu's spatial ability is."
"Liao Jing!"
Liao Jing raised her chin and said, "What's the matter? Why do you want me to leave? Can I easily break this deal? That would be too insincere, right?"
Even the provocation method was used, it's really...
Yu Yao narrowed her eyes.
"It's not impossible not to trade."
Sang Yi suddenly turned around and looked at her.
And Yu Yao had already looked at Chi Heng.
"Boss, shall we go?"
"Yeah." Chi Heng responded without saying another word, and turned around and left with Yu Yao and Qi Xian.
Commander Chen and his companions' expressions turned extremely bad in an instant.
"Everyone, please stay!"
Qi Xian turned around and smiled coldly.
"Commander Chen, I think everyone knows who is more important to this deal. We have been cooperating well enough, but you have brought out such a person to disrupt the situation. It's really..."
Commander Chen closed his eyes helplessly.
"We were wrong in this matter. Please don't be angry. As long as the transaction continues, I can add 20 more crystal cores to the agreed price."
"Elemental crystal core." Qi Xian added with a cold face.
Commander Chen gritted his teeth: "...Okay!"
Only then did Qi Xian smile sincerely.
"If you say so, we can only obey your command."
......
After Liao Jing's disturbance, no one wanted to chat or greet each other anymore.
Sang Yi quickly stepped forward and led Yu Yao into the air-raid shelter.
Yu Yao glanced at Qi Xian and made sure that there was no new information during the time Chi Heng was away.
Qi Xian quickly confirmed the type and quantity of weapons to be taken out through mental communication.
......
After confirming it, Yu Yao did not hesitate and waved her hand to place a pile of wooden boxes in the air-raid shelter.
Even the equipment, medicines and supplies that he had put away for Sang Yi in the hospital were taken out without any omission.
The originally empty air-raid shelter suddenly became cramped, crowded and full.
Sang Yi's face suddenly lit up with a smile.
Commander Chen and Liao Lanjiang's complexion also looked much better.
Liao Jing, who couldn't be driven away, was stunned for a moment.
"Ms. Yu's space is so big, it's like a mobile warehouse. If anyone has you as a teammate, it will really save a lot of effort. No wonder Mr. Qi and Mr. Chi cherish you so much."
Then, she turned to Liao Lanjiang like a spoiled child and said jokingly, "Dad, you must keep Miss Yu here! As long as Miss Yu doesn't leave, the others will definitely not leave either!"
Her words were full of hidden meaning. Liao Lanjiang's expression froze. Before he could say anything, Qi Xian said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. We will leave tomorrow."
Not only Liao Jing was stunned when she heard this, Sang Yi also turned his head to look at Qi Xian in surprise.
This was exactly what Chi Heng discussed with Yu Yao on the road just now.
When Dongfang Jin was sleeping last night, he suddenly had a premonition that in the near future there would be extremely cold weather that would be difficult for humans to adapt to.
So I discussed it with Chi Heng and others, hoping to set off as soon as possible.
However, Luo Mei and Yu Yao were still sleeping at that time, so Chi Heng just confirmed what Yu Yao meant.
Of course Yu Yao knew that there would be extreme cold, but it would not come too soon.
I was originally planning to take it slow in accordance with my teammates' pace, since Dongfang Jin had already predicted it.
There's no harm in going back early.
......
However, this decision was obviously not expected by the military.
Sang Yi quickly asked everyone's question: "Didn't you say you wanted to rest for a few days?"
Qi Xian replied: "After discussing it, we decided to go home and rest. After all, the current situation is ever-changing and there is no certainty. New problems may arise one day, and there is no place that is as safe as home."
As Qi Xian was speaking, Commander Chen looked at Qi Xian with a deep, probing gaze.
It wasn't until Qi Xian finished speaking that he asked, "Young man, do you know anything?"
That's why I left in a hurry!
Qi Xian laughed: "No, I just feel uneasy."
Commander Chen moved his lips and continued, "We have contacted our comrades in the Kyoto Military Region. It is also in chaos over there, and they are hastily setting up a base. Even if you go back, I'm afraid you will have no home."
It was the truth, and it was indeed an obvious way of retaining him.
After hearing this, Qi Xian just smiled and said, "No matter what, I have to go back and take a look."
Commander Chen sighed softly, "Ah, I know that a small base like ours can't keep talents like you."
"...You are too kind."
"Forget it." Commander Chen waved his hand and said to Sang Yi, "Give them the crystal core. The payment will be in cash."
"OK."
Sang Yi responded, then handed the two sturdy cloth bags hanging around his waist to Yu Yao and explained them one by one.
"The small bag contains the 100 crystal cores I owe you and Miss Luo, and the half I promised to give you, 75. There is also the reward for borrowing your space, a total of 185! The big bag contains the crystal cores for purchasing weapons, 551, of which 200 are elemental crystal cores and one secondary crystal core."
After that, he counted out 20 elemental crystal cores from another bag behind him and handed them to Yu Yao.
But his eyes turned to Liao Jing, and his dissatisfaction was obvious.
Compared with transparent crystal cores, elemental crystal cores are more precious because they are difficult to obtain.
If it had not been stated in the transaction conditions, Sang Yi would not have taken out so many elemental crystal cores.
As for the secondary crystal core, with their bargaining and Chi Heng's deliberate concessions, it was used to offset the cost of hiring Chi Heng and others to help in the hospital and to go to He'an.
This is the only solution. After all, we need to keep some more first-level crystal cores for the growth of comrades who have awakened their special powers.
......
After the transaction was completed, Chi Heng and the other two did not linger any longer and quickly left the air-raid shelter.
After walking a long way, Qi Xian asked Yu Yao worriedly: "Xiao Qi, I decided to leave tomorrow without discussing it with you. You won't be unhappy, right?"
"No. Lying flat is so much more pleasant. Why should I worry about that?"
She didn't want to waste her energy on such issues. If she wanted to leave, she could leave. If she wanted to stay, she could stay.
As long as there are zombies to kill and experience to gain, that's enough.
After hearing this, Qi Xian smiled and placed his elbow lightly on Yu Yao's shoulder.
"I'm relieved if you say that. Don't worry, too. From now on, with us here, you don't have to worry about those trivial matters. Just do what you want to do."
"OK."
Yu Yao responded with a smile, generous and not shy at all.
Chi Heng turned his head and glanced at Qi Xian's arm that was placed on Yu Yao's shoulder, his eyes dimmed for a moment.
Without being noticed by anyone.
