"Why is there so much less?"
Qin Mingyue also realized that something was wrong.
Even if there were fluctuations in the past, they would not be so large.
Not to mention that there have been no reports recently on which collection teams have suffered heavy losses.
"Yeah, who knows? I'll have someone investigate to see if they can find the cause."
Chir finally calmed down and found a chair to sit down.
Qin Mingyue looked at the report thoughtfully. When she put it on the table, she suddenly had an idea.
"By the way, do you remember the supermarket we saw in the wasteland last time?"
"I remember. What's wrong?"
Qi'er looked up. The goods in that supermarket were too tempting. Coupled with the fact that the owner of that supermarket was ungrateful, it was hard for him to forget it.
Qin Mingyue: "I don't know what tricks that woman used to get us out last time. Our base is short of supplies now. This place is not far from our base, and the supplies are really abundant. Why don't we bring more people..."
After that, Qin Mingyue didn't say anything else, but Qier understood what she meant.
She's trying to rob.
"Last time we invited her to join the base, she refused. So you can't blame us for being rude. Besides, if we don't get those supplies, and they are taken away by other bases, wouldn't that be even more disadvantageous to us?"
It is now the tenth year since the end of the world.
Many bases that were established since the end of the world are slowly collapsing and are waiting for a new base to rise and replace them.
Beiyuan Base was established in the early days of the apocalypse. After ten years, the interior is no longer as bright and beautiful as before.
When Qi'er heard what Qin Mingyue said, he felt that what he said made sense and nodded.
"Okay, we'll do as you say. But Xuefeng and the others are out on a mission recently, so there may not be many psychics left in the base. Let's wait until they come back and then we can make plans."
"Okay, I'll get busy then."
After this matter was settled, Qin Mingyue didn't stay any longer and went out to do her work.
As one of the few healing psychics in the base, she is very busy at work.

"Hey, you guys, don't tell anyone when you get back, especially not to the higher-ups, or else you'll have to hand all these supplies over, understand?"
Guo Xiong once again brought back a dozen people to buy supplies. They were in a remote corner of the base, listening to Guo Xiong's final instructions.
"Okay, Xiong, we get it."
"Don't worry, Brother Xiong, you're doing this for the good of all of us. We all understand and won't tell anyone."
"Yes, I won't tell you. I won't tell you."
Everyone gathered around Guo Xiong and expressed their opinions one after another.
"Okay, then everyone go back. I'll take the next group with me tomorrow."
Seeing that they all made promises, Guo Xiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He waved to them and told them to go back carefully.
The rest of the people, carrying their hands full of food, did not stay any longer and dispersed with smiles on their faces.
"Dad, Mom asked me to come and find you to go back for dinner."
Guo Leshan appeared out of nowhere and scurried over to Guo Xiong like a loach. Seeing the bag in his hand, he took it with excitement.
When Guo Xiong saw that it was his son, he smiled and touched his head.
"Okay, I'm done here, let's go."
The two walked back side by side.
On the way, Guo Leshan looked at Guo Xiong several times, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Finally, Guo Xiong noticed his strange behavior and took the initiative to ask.
"What's wrong, son? You seem distracted. Do you have something to say?"
Guo Leshan turned his head to look at Guo Xiong, then looked at the food in the bag in his hand, and a trace of worry flashed across his brown eyes.
"Dad, you take them out to buy supplies every day. Even though you told them not to tell anyone, what if someone tells? And more and more people know about it lately."
Guo Leshan is 16 years old this year. Although he is not yet an adult, he grew up in the base and understands the pros and cons involved.
My father takes people out to buy supplies every day. It’s okay if there are only a few people, so the people at the base won’t know.
But since everyone lives in the base, secrets cannot be kept, especially those concerning supplies.
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
Now, everyone around his family knows about it.
There are so many people and so many gossips, and you never know when the higher-ups might find out.
Guo Leshan knew this, and Guo Xiong naturally knew it too.
His original intention was to help those people at the bottom of the base who had no food to eat, and he just wanted to take as many people as he could with him.
But he didn't expect that more and more people would know about this matter, and more and more people would come to him.
He couldn't refuse.
"Alas." Guo Xiong sighed, "I understand what you're saying, but it's hard for me to refuse..."
Once something starts, there is no way to stop it.
"Dad, you've already brought some people with you. You can let those who know the way take the others. That way, you don't have to take such a big risk."
Guo Leshan proposed.
After listening to his son's words, Guo Xiong suddenly realized that what he said was a method.
"My son is smart. Okay, next time I'll let someone else who knows the way lead the way."
"good."
Seeing that Guo Xiong agreed, Guo Leshan felt relieved and happily took Guo Xiong's hand and walked home.

The next morning.
Song Zhi cleaned up the supermarket and opened it, but saw a group of "familiar people" at the door.
The five people lined up in a row, neatly.
When they saw her open the door, they all looked over.
The leader was the bearded man. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he couldn't help but tremble when he saw Song Zhi's stunning face.
