"It's a pity about my family's G-Class. It was destroyed right after we bought it, and now it's facing the possibility of being abandoned again," Nie Zhiyuan said.
"Have your dad find a helicopter to lift you over the mountains. You can sit in the car and save yourself the trouble of climbing," Xie Yao said.
"Forget it, those country bumpkins will be left stranded in mid-air, crying out to heaven and earth in vain, losing both their money and their lives. I'd rather climb mountains and wade through rivers myself," Nie Zhiyuan said.
"What's going on?" Xu Lin immediately sensed something was up.
"It's my aunt, Nie Zhiyuan's mother, who has a business partner who owns a helicopter that she rents out," Xie Yao said.
"Then the rent can't be lowered."
"That's right. You have to pay for your own fuel and offer him something he'll like. The main problem is that this guy is a shrewd businessman with no morals. What if he pockets the goods? Who can you complain to then?" Xie Yao whispered later.
"Unfortunately, one of our helicopters was damaged by freezing temperatures in the extreme cold, and the other was crushed into a pancake during the earthquake," Xie Yao added.
Well, they're all rich people!
However, Xu Lin secretly thought to herself that she was still the richest person right now.
Xie Yao and Nie Zhiyuan came over for a chat and then left. There were no lights at night, and everyone had to get up early the next day to continue their journey, so they needed to get a good rest.
The base arranged for people to patrol at night, and Zhou Pin, Sun Wei, and Minister Sun voluntarily took turns keeping watch, each for four hours.
Xu Lin and Li Jingjing should get some rest. They'll drive tomorrow. Grandma Wu's main task is to look after the children.
The next day, before dawn, Xu Lin and Li Jingjing started their work. Before daybreak, they first made milk powder for Xiao Youyou, then gathered firewood to start a fire to cook porridge, heat up buns, and boiled an egg for each of them.
Many people, in order to save money, are too lazy to collect firewood and simply eat a compressed biscuit or a cornbread and drink some hot water in the morning.
Xu Lin felt that with the weather fluctuating between hot and cold, the most important thing was to boost immunity and prevent illness, and that it was essential to eat a full and nutritious breakfast.
By the time they could make out the figures, they had already finished eating and packed up, and were on their way.
This time, Xu Lin and Li Jingjing drove first, allowing the three hardworking night watchmen to rest.
After driving for about an hour, the road suddenly stopped ahead. Minister Sun volunteered to go ahead and see what had happened. When it comes to gossip, this old man is a professional.
Half an hour later, Minister Sun returned.
"Uncle Sun, anyone who didn't know better would think you had lunch up ahead before coming back!" Xu Lin teased him.
"They want me to stay, but look at their cooking! It's nowhere near as good as my nieces' cooking!" Minister Sun joked, playing along with Xu Lin's banter.
It turned out there was a group of about thirty people ahead, men and women, young and old. They originally wanted to raid the base, but seeing so many of them, they decided to join in, and the two sides discussed the matter.
"And the result?" Xu Lin asked.
"The result was that they only had supplies but no vehicles, so they either followed the foot soldiers behind them or got a vehicle to follow us," Minister Sun said.
“The base has idle vehicles, so we should be able to trade with them. It just depends on whether they accept the base’s exorbitant demands,” Sun Wei said.
“They’ll probably try to trade with those of us who have cars first. Only if they can’t find a replacement will they contact the base. I just don’t know where these people come from,” Zhou Pin said.
After so many years of the apocalypse, the group that has survived to this day and still has surplus resources is no ordinary people.
Just as Zhou Pin predicted, someone came to them, wanting to exchange supplies for a vehicle.
