Chapter 6: Laying the Hook
"Mouse" laughed dryly.
"Miss, you are making fun of me."
"Not to mention me, even the nearby bases wouldn't dare to claim to have something as rare as an escape pod."
"But if the young lady needs some daily necessities, it won't be difficult for me."
People like "Rat" are very slippery.
I found that Chu Nian had no intention of killing him.
He immediately took advantage of the situation and got close to the snake.
"I just don't know what the young lady has?"
"Mouse" looked Chu Nian up and down.
It didn't look like she had anything rare.
"Compressed biscuits and instant noodles."
When Chu Nian uttered these two names, "Haozi's" eyes lit up.
"really?"
"Mouse" scratched his ears, afraid that he had heard it wrongly.
After all, the industry is completely ruined.
These things were preserved with great difficulty.
Even so, it took eight years and was almost eaten up.
The little that does come out occasionally is fought over by those with power and influence.
"And the meat of mutant rats, fresh."
Chu Nian continued.
These are all good things in the end times.
"I wonder what the young lady wants to change?"
"Rat" rubbed his hands. He had to get those two things besides rat meat.
Chu Nian was well prepared and just threw a list over.
The list was written with rat blood, which looked a bit shocking.
Chu Nian listed the most basic supplies for survival, including pots, pans, and utensils.
"Miss, these down clothes, quilts, and other miscellaneous items are easy to deal with."
"We can get security doors and windows if we grit our teeth."
"It's this solar generator. It's a little difficult to deal with."
The "rat's" eyes rolled around.
Chu Nian understood that he wanted to raise the price.
Of course she wouldn't give him this chance and turned away.
"Hey, hey, hey, little sister, please stay, stay, so we can discuss this."
"You have to let me see the goods, right?"
"Haozi" was afraid that the little ancestor would just leave like that and the supplies he had obtained would be lost.
Chu Nian took out a pack of compressed biscuits, 100 grams per pack, solid good stuff.
“Red date flavor!”
When the mouse saw it, he found it was the precious multi-flavor compressed biscuits.
"How many do you have, little sister?"
"How much do you want?"
Business is all about give and take.
The two people tested each other's bottom line.
Chu Nian exchanged five kilograms of compressed biscuits for all the supplies on her list except the solar generator.
After agreeing on a location, half of the transaction will be completed first.
Wait until everything is verified to be fine before handing over the other half.
Haozi also left some supplies as collateral.
Ultimately, neither side dares to fully trust the other.
Chu Nian returned to Jingming's hiding place.
"Nian Nian, are you okay?"
Jingming did not put down the wooden thorn in his hand.
My fingers are numb because I used too much force.
"It's okay, just take the things to the next place."
An hour later, Chu Nian and Jing Ming hid in the dark and saw "Haozi" and the boat he was rowing.
There was no one else following behind.
"Miss, check the goods, they are all real good stuff."
In the "mouse" business, the most important thing is integrity.
If your reputation is ruined, you're doomed.
After Chu Nian checked, he asked Jing Ming to move out the hidden things.
The transaction was completed by both parties.
"In addition to the red date flavor, I also picked some salted egg yolk and milk flavors."
"Consider the instant noodles a gift from me."
Chu Nian used the word "pick" and set a hook in "Haozi's" heart.
Being able to "pick" proves that it still exists.
He even had the energy to give away four bags of instant noodles with different flavors. It's rare to find such a generous customer.
"Miss, you are truly my real Bodhisattva."
"Haozi" almost bowed to Chu Nian.
This was not the first time he met Chu Nian.
Why didn’t I realize before that she was actually a “treasure sister”?
"Haozi" wanted to keep Chu Nian, his long-term customer, and gave her the boat.
Although there is still some water leakage after repairs, it is what Chu Nian really needs at this time.
"Thank you." Chu Nian finally had a smile on his face.
"You're welcome, miss. We'll have to work together in the future, right?"
"Mouse" looked at the compressed biscuits that were handed to him and swallowed his saliva.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Chu Nian asked Jingming to pull the boat and leave.
"Hey, little sister, when can I find you again?"
"Mouse" looked at Chu Nian reluctantly.
"I'll find you."
Then Chu Nian threw a ball of paper over.
"Haozi" opened it and saw, wow, this young lady has quite an appetite.
Even firearms are included on this list.
There are also stainless steel grids, charcoal, compressed fuel, electric heaters...
I don’t quite understand “Mouse”.
But this did not prevent him from wanting to do this deal with Chu Nian.
With this box of compressed biscuits, his wife and children can fill their stomachs.
As for the rat meat, he didn't plan to report it. Wouldn't it be delicious to stew it and eat it when he got home?
Chu Nian took Jing Ming and rowed the boat around several times.
We waited until it was completely dark before returning to the air-raid shelter.
We couldn't rest when we returned, but had to load all our things onto the boat.
Fortunately, the boat that "Haozi" gave us was not small, otherwise it would have been sunk.
Jingming's wood-related ability is also quite useful, and the leaking areas were easily repaired.
"let's go."
Chu Nian looked at the empty air-raid shelter.
"Nian Nian, why don't we stay here?"
"The flood outside will soon recede."
Jingming didn't quite understand.
"It's too dangerous here. If someone pours water or smoke in it."
"We won't last more than a few minutes."
Chu Nian was in a good mood because he exchanged for the supplies he wanted.
"Besides, I might be pregnant and need some sunshine and a warmer, more comfortable environment."
Chu Nian's firm words stunned Jing Ming.
"But you, you..."
Jingming certainly also wants to have his own children.
And after they have a child they can return to base.
"My test came back as unknown fertility."
"Do you know why?"
Chu Nian told her that she was pregnant with twins.
"This was the hospital's diagnosis before the apocalypse began."
Because the end of the world destroyed industry, agriculture, and the tertiary industry.
The hospital was destroyed along with it.
The medicines and medical supplies that can be snatched away are very limited.
After the base was established, some scientific researchers created this whole-body scanner similar to a color ultrasound.
It can be used to determine a woman's fertility, but it cannot perform deeper examinations.
"Niannian, are you serious? Is it really possible for you to get pregnant with our child?"
Jing Ming was so excited that his hand shaking as he held Chu Nian's.
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty."
"The body is mine. I still know whether you are pregnant or not."
Chu Nian just bullied Jing Ming because he didn't understand these things.
