While everyone was resting, before they even reached Qin Yuncheng, they saw Geng Zhixing return in a supply truck.
As soon as he stopped the car, he found himself surrounded by strangers.
Somewhat bewildered, she walked up to the crowd and before she could even speak, she spotted Yuan Ruoxi in the crowd.
Then they heard someone shout, "Xiao Geng, we're here!"
Geng Zhixing looked closely and exclaimed, "Oh my god, why are the bosses all in the pit?"
"Is this also a guard from the capital?" Li Gangtie asked Li Sikai, then, not expecting an answer, turned to Comrade Xiao Geng and began to explain the current situation.
There was no way around it; just by looking at the expression on the kid's face, you could tell he knew nothing.
After he finished speaking, Li Gangtie suggested, "Let's continue. No matter what decision Qin Yuncheng makes, this batch of grain will have to be transported away. We can't leave it here to be exposed to the wind and rain and let it mold and rot."
Li Sikai shared the same idea, so everyone got to work again.
The person chatting felt a little embarrassed and said to Yuan Ruoxi, "Little fairy, sit here for a while, I'll go help!"
Tong Xianbao thought to himself, "I've been lazy before, so what? There's no harm in it anyway." But with a space-age ability user right in front of him, he needed to maintain a good image to make further contact.
But before he could even get up, Yuan Ruoxi grabbed his arm. "There are so many people here, we don't need you. I like you, just stay here and chat with me."
Tong Xianbao's face lit up with surprise, but then he seemed to remember something and shook his head. "This, this isn't right. Everyone is working so hard, I..."
Yuan Ruoxi interrupted, "There's nothing wrong with it. You're so fair-skinned, it would be such a waste if you got tanned. If you're really worried, I'll talk to your boss."
Neither of them lowered their voices, and Li Gangtie, who was standing nearby, had heard everything clearly.
Before Yuan Ruoxi could speak, he readily agreed, "Xiao Tong, you don't need to do anything today, just take good care of our guests."
I thought to myself, you're just causing trouble, I might as well stay to the side.
Yuan Ruoxi, thinking it was her own doing, gave Tong Xianbao a knowing look with a beaming smile. Tong Xianbao, in turn, flattered her enthusiastically, giving her two thumbs up and sparkling eyes.
Well, now that they had official approval, the two became even more unrestrained, sitting right next to each other and whispering in each other's ears.
They were laughing and joking, and it was unclear what they were saying, but from Yuan Ruoxi's laughter, one could hear Tong Xianbao's deliberate flattery and obsequiousness.
However, most people were indifferent to this. Even if they knew that Yuan Ruoxi was a space ability user, anyone with a bit of rationality would know that "big golden legs" would inevitably be "big trouble".
For those who just want a peaceful life, it's best not to mess with such special talents.
This is why the guards in the southern city knew of Yuan Ruoxi's existence, yet still tried to keep their distance.
Of course, not everyone can see the pros and cons. For example, Tao Jianian and Tong Xianbao, who had their own agendas, always thought they were one in a million who could not only gain the favor of a space ability user, but also possibly discover her secrets one day.
So, when Li Sikai saw the two of them, who had only known each other for less than half an hour, being so affectionate, he couldn't help but scoff. After keenly catching Shen Yanming's gaze, he simply nodded and mouthed, "We'll talk about it when we get back!"
Shen Yanming nodded to indicate that he understood, and then stopped paying attention to them and focused on packing the food.
When the supply truck was full, Qin Yuncheng drove an empty supply truck and followed Zhou Qi, accompanied by several captains of the Suzhou City Guard Team.
At first, when they heard that a large amount of grain had been discovered, they were a little incredulous, thinking that the other party might have some misunderstanding about the meaning of "large amount," so they came to see for themselves.
But to everyone's surprise, it was a really big batch.
It's impossible to estimate how many pounds it weighs with the naked eye, but it looks like a lot. Even though it filled two supply trucks, it didn't feel like the wheat pit had sunk much lower.
Qin Yuncheng knew Li Sikai, and he asked, "Sikai, how deep do you estimate this pit to be?"
Shen Yanming knew that it was at least ten meters, but he didn't dare to say it and could only listen to Li Sikai's nonsense, "When we first arrived, the wheat in this pit was about three meters above the ground."
After I jumped down, I tried to bury myself, but even though the wheat was up to my neck, my feet still couldn't touch the ground.
Therefore, it is estimated that the pit is at least six meters deep.
Qin Yuncheng nodded, "Then this batch of grain is indeed quite large."
Suddenly noticing Yuan Ruoxi sitting to the side, completely absorbed in her conversation, she frowned and asked, "Why are we leaving everyone here doing this pointless work when we have space ability users around? How inefficient is this?"
Even though Qin Yuncheng singled them out for criticism, Yuan Ruoxi and Tong Xianbao acted as if they hadn't heard him and continued to play around.
In fact, neither of them heard it. When people enter a state of complete absorption, they can often block out all the noise around them. For the two of them, this was a moment of complete absorption in their conversation.
Qin Yuncheng had heard about Yuan Ruoxi's recent reputation, so he didn't insist, but shook his head helplessly to express his displeasure.
Li Sikai explained, "Besides finding this wheat pit, we also found a small warehouse filled with packaged soybeans and rice. We don't know how long they had been stored there, but the quality was very good, and there was no mold or spoilage."
Qin Yuncheng's eyes lit up again. "Oh? How many?"
"The inventory is 100 square meters, with about 20,000 bags. Yuan Ruoxi put half of them into her spatial storage, and the rest are in the small warehouse, where Sun Sainan is watching over them."
Qin Yuncheng was startled. Although this quantity was a drop in the ocean for the populous city of Suzhou, it was still quite a lot in terms of the sheer amount of supplies.
This much rice should be enough to feed at least three thousand people for a year.
And this wheat, although not weighed specifically, should be much more than the rice by sight alone.
Moreover, the quality of this batch of wheat is undeniable. Even before the apocalypse, there were few grains of better quality.
It seems that Suzhou can weather this crisis safely.
At this moment, he didn't want to ask where the grain came from or how it was obtained; it was almost entirely stored in the open air, yet it was preserved so well.
Having lived through the apocalypse for so long, he had long since learned the rules: only by pretending to be deaf and dumb could one survive for a long time.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Yuncheng finally decided to take all of this grain back to the secret base of the Suzhou Guard Team to compare it with the grain reserves in the base.
If newer, higher-quality grain is found here, this batch of grain will replace some of the reserve grain, and the replaced old grain will be used to help the disaster-stricken people.
It's not that they're stingy, but grains have a shelf life. If the reserves aren't updated and replaced in time, they might mold and rot before they're even used.
