The day before the red moon arrived, Ruan Tian didn't want to take out "Snow White" for fear of attracting attention.
She prepared a large amount of food in advance.
Li Canhua arrived at the basement, preparing to take Ruan Tian to entrance B of the base. When she saw the food that Ruan Tian had prepared, a hint of disgust appeared on her face.
"These foods haven't been crawled on by disgusting rats, have they?"
“Of course,” Ruan Tian patted her chest, “and even if it has climbed over there, it’s definitely cleaner than you.”
"You son of a bitch!" Li Canhua had just raised her hand, intending to slap Ruan Tian hard across the face.
“Um…you can hit me,” Ruan Tian deliberately brought her face closer.
"When Bai Chulan sees the slap mark on my face, I'll just stick to him and give you a good scolding."
Upon hearing Ruan Tian's words, Li Canhua's hand suddenly froze in mid-air.
She was caught in a dilemma: whether to hit him or not.
Seeing Ruan Tian's defiant expression that seemed to say, "Hurry up and hit me, I'm going to tell Brother Bai," Li Canhua's anger flared even more.
Her cheeks, which already had a few pimples, suddenly developed another one in the next second.
Li Canhua was completely outmaneuvered by Ruan Tian, and in the end, she could only resentfully withdraw her hand, glaring at Ruan Tian through gritted teeth:
"Heh, you scheming green tea b*tch, let's see how long you can keep up this act in front of Brother Bai!"
She angrily took Ruan Tian and a huge pile of food out the door.
After several days, Ruan Tian finally came out of the basement and breathed in the fresh air outside.
The outside world had already turned blood red.
A huge and eerie red moon hung in the sky, and the surrounding scenery was distorted by its influence.
The zombies became active, their heightened sense of smell allowing them to detect the scent of human flesh emanating from the base, and they excitedly tried to break through the defenses at entrance A.
The survivor base in City C doesn't tolerate idlers; judging from their well-trained movements, this isn't their first time dealing with the Red Moon Tide.
Throughout the journey, everyone appeared tense, yet showed no fear.
Li Canhua led Ruan Tian to Exit B, where they saw Bai Chulan treating the injured from afar.
He had treated countless people, and his face showed signs of fatigue.
Li Canhua immediately felt sorry for him, and ran over to Bai Chulan, squeezing his wrist and whimpering:
"Brother Bai, I brought Ruan Tian here. You've been working so hard, why don't you rest for a while?"
Upon hearing this, the injured survivors at the back of the line quickly protested:
"I still have injuries that haven't been treated. Can't you heal my injuries first before resting?"
Using the red moonlight, Ruan Tian leaned closer for a look.
When she saw the wounds on the other person's body clearly, she couldn't help but make a comment:
"If you talk a little more, you might heal yourself."
The survivor blushed, and to save face, immediately turned and yelled at Ruan Tian:
"Where exactly are your eyes located?! I still have internal injuries!"
"Why are you yelling so loudly?" Ruan Tian clicked her tongue in annoyance. "You have the strength to yell like that, I don't think you're actually okay?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, the other survivors immediately stepped forward to mediate so as not to disturb the lady.
"Alright, alright, we're all from the same base, let's make money peacefully."
"That's right, and with Chu Lan's abilities being so strong, it wouldn't be a problem for him to help us with some treatment, would it?"
As Ruan Tian listened to their cacophony of complaints, the urge to roll her eyes grew stronger and stronger.
"Excuse me, are you all giant babies? I don't see any of the other survivors in the base who are as pampered as you."
Ruan Tian's words clearly struck at the most despicable part of the other survivors' hearts.
Bai Chulan is like a free public resource.
Anyone who gets injured can come to Bai Chulan for treatment, and there's no cost involved.
Is there anything more satisfying than being able to heal your insignificant injury?
They were both well aware of their secret thoughts, but never dared to reveal them in the slightest.
They dared not expose these unspeakable thoughts to the light of day.
One of the older, middle-aged men stepped forward and began lecturing Ruan Tian:
"Young lady, you're really rude. We got injured for the sake of the base! What's wrong with letting Chu Lan treat us?"
Chu Lan hasn't even said anything yet, who are you to Chu Lan, yet you dare to stand up and attack us? Who do you think you are?
"You've only been at the base for a day, and you're already trying to take Canhua's place? This is outrageous!"
Seeing that someone was speaking up for her, Li Canhua immediately nodded.
"That's right, Ruan Tian, I still advise you to have some self-awareness. If you really like Brother Bai, then compete with me openly and honestly!"
But you shouldn't involve other people. I still don't understand how Brother Bai could possibly be interested in you.
Bai Chulan stepped forward and blocked Ruan Tian behind him.
"Now is not the time to argue."
The others were eager to try, but seeing that Bai Chulan had stepped forward to protect Ruan Tian, they were too embarrassed to say anything more.
Bai Chulan rested, and Li Canhua pushed Ruan Tian out.
"Now it's your turn to heal everyone's wounds with food."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian took out the food she had prepared in advance in order to avoid revealing the electric tricycle.
"These foods are all edible and can heal wounds after consumption. However, to continuously produce food, we need crystal cores."
The implication is that making delicious food is possible, but only with crystal cores.
Li Canhua frowned impatiently: "Why is your superpower so troublesome?"
Ruan Tian spread her hands: "What can I do? I don't know. Hurry up and get me the crystal core."
"How many crystal cores do you need?" Li Canhua asked Ruan Tian with displeasure.
"fifty thousand."
Hearing this astronomical figure, Li Canhua was stunned. She wasn't the only one who was surprised; the other survivors all had expressions that said, "You're dreaming."
Please, that's a whopping 50,000 crystal cores!
In the early days of the apocalypse, the total number of crystal cores collected by everyone in the entire survivor base was probably less than 50,000!
"You're really asking for the moon, aren't you? You can say such shameless things, I'm really laughing."
Ruan Tian shrugged: "Whether you give it to me or not is your business. Without crystal cores, I can't continue making food. Give it to me or not."
"..."
Li Canhua stared at Ruan Tian for a while. There were still wounded people walking towards Exit B, and there was no time to waste.
"I'll go ask the lady."
She turned and left, finding the lady who was using her powers to control the zombies at entrance C, and explained the situation.
The lady said, "...This woman really dares to speak up."
Li Canhua asked anxiously, "Madam, are we really going to give it to them?"
The lady lowered her eyes, calculating in her mind. Anyway, Ruan Tian had no means of transportation, so no matter how she ran, she couldn't get out of the entire City C.
She was certain that Ruan Tian couldn't escape her grasp, so she nodded directly:
"Go and give the 30,000 crystal cores I've saved to Ruan Tian. Also, have the others hand over some crystal cores and give them to Ruan Tian together."
The lady saw this as a sure-fire way to make money, but she never imagined...
I'll lose everything!
