No wonder, how come the team of five suddenly became six people? I just don’t know the identity of this girl.
"Uncle Zhen, please prepare the materials for exchange."
"Tu, give me a list first so I can see what's on it. I have one more thing I want to ask you. In the river that runs through Hongcheng, there are more than 20 mutant animals that cannot be killed even by bombardment. That river is also where the surviving people in the city get water. Many people have died there. I would like to ask you to help me find a way to get rid of them."
Zhen Yuan must be extremely worried, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Qin Yi for help, making his central base seem useless.
That’s what I meant. Why do we have to have all of them come to the base?
However, Qin Yi would not refuse if it was within his ability. They did have weapons that could kill mutant animals, so the laser guns should not be used too much.
"Tuo, let's finish discussing the exchange of items first, and then we'll pick a time to go and take a look."
Zhen Yuan nodded in agreement.
Can't lower the price anymore.
A lounge was arranged for Qin Yi and others, and they were asked to make a list of weapons. Zhen Yuan was also busy asking people to prepare the antiques that were hidden in the box.
Su Yan quickly sent the list of weapons in her space to Zhen Yuan.
An hour later, Zhen Yuan came to the lounge with his people. He handed over the things he had selected with an apologetic look on his face and said, "Xiao Yi, take a look."
"It's mine." Qin Yi took it, took a look at it, and handed it to Su Yan beside him.
Su Yan looked at the quantity behind the item name and said, "The quantity is fine and can be provided."
"It's like this, Miss Su. I may not be able to provide equal materials for exchange. Do you think there is any other way?" No wonder Zhen Yuan's face looked wrong as soon as he came. It turned out that he could not provide equal exchange materials, and did not want to reduce the quantity.
It’s not that there are no other ways. Su Yan is thinking about how likely it is to work.
"Is Commander Zhen's central region rich in cherries, loquats, peaches and navel oranges?" The fruit trees that Su Yan reported are specialty fruits of the central region.
"I'll ask someone." He didn't know either since he came from the capital. Zhen Yuan asked his assistant to find the local officials in Hongcheng.
Su Yan thought of the fruit trees. There were only a few of them on her side, and it would not be easy to find them as they were unfamiliar with the area. Even if they knew where there were still surviving fruit trees, they would need help digging them. It would be better to leave it to the locals.
The local people know where the fruit trees are. Even if there are many casualties in the natural disaster, there will always be some dead trees that have escaped the net. We can ask them to help dig up the trees to pay off the debts.
Qin Yi knew what Su Yan was thinking as soon as he heard what she said. Just as his wife looked at him, he nodded slightly, and then began to find a suitable reason for digging up these fruit trees.
After only a few minutes of waiting, two local officials came in.
The people under their command knew where the orchards were in the suburbs, but in the current situation, they were unsure about how many trees were left.
"Miss Su, what do you want these trees for?"
"This? Qin Yi knows."
She is not as shameless as Qin Yi, nor is she as easy to make excuses as Qin Yi. Men are meant to take the blame, so Su Yan put aside the idea of explaining herself.
Qin Yi's reason was simple and clear, "To build a secret base."
The less you talk, the bigger the matter.
Zhen Yuan knew that the country had received a tip from a mysterious person before the natural disaster, and the matter of the secret base had been under discussion. Um, so?
"Let our people help dig trees to make up for the shortage of trade materials?"
"Yes, Uncle Zhen."
It just takes some manpower to help them find full-grown fruit trees in the suburbs. It's a profitable business.
"Then how much do we need to dig?" Zhen Yuan also realized that the people in charge of this team were Qin Yi and Su Yan. When he asked, he glanced at their faces.
"See how much you're short of." Su Yan hadn't even looked at the things moved from the base yet, so she didn't ask for too much.
The people at the base didn't bother to say anything and simply brought up the things they were going to exchange.
There are two large boxes of palace embroidery that have been passed down from ancestors for hundreds of years. They are precious collections of Hongcheng. The small ones include round fans and ornaments, and the large ones include screens.
"Add 300 more fruit trees of the species I just selected, and they must be over two meters tall."
"Miss Su from the past."
Su Yan was only responsible for the estimation, and the rest of the details were discussed by Qin Yi, Yang Jinghui and others with the team in the central base responsible for finding and digging trees.
Zhen Yuan mentioned it to Qin Yi and Yang Jinghui again, "Xiao Yi, and the other brothers, I'll leave the matter of the mutant monsters to you."
"Damn."
"Don't worry, we remember."
After negotiating the deal and getting guarantees from several of the strongest fighters, Zhen Yuan and his men left the lounge.
Su Yan was able to ask Qin Yi at this time, "Would Zhen Yuan be surprised at how we transport these trees?"
"Before the end of the world, you sent the reminder letter and three space buttons to the capital. He is qualified to participate in the meeting and knows the inside story. I am on Chief Sheng's side. He is not sure whether Chief Sheng will let me use the space button. Therefore, even if he finds something unreasonable, he will not ask more questions."
"Then I feel relieved."
Qin Yi asked Luo Fuan and others to discuss the matter of digging up the fruit trees with the people at the base.
After a while, Su Yan received a call from Su Qing, asking her if she wanted to go for lunch. There were many people waiting for her at the door to exchange supplies.
"Are you going to eat?"
"Ya."
It doesn’t matter whether you eat or not, you have to get the gold.
Luo Fuan and a few others were just communicating with the people at the base, and then they left together.
As soon as the car drove out of the base gate, Zhang Yuan shouted to stop the car, then opened the door, got out and walked towards the child squatting by the wall.
"Orange, what's wrong with you?"
"Big brother~"
Zeng Chengcheng timidly called out "Big Brother Zhang Yuan" and lowered her head. She didn't want to get injured on the second day after entering the base.
Zhang Yuan picked the man up.
Zeng Chengcheng staggered and lost her balance, and she quickly grabbed one of Zhang Yuan's legs to avoid falling to the ground again.
"What's wrong with your feet? Where did you get like this?"
Zeng Chengcheng lowered her head and dared not say anything.
"I asked you what's wrong with your foot?" Zhang Yuan yelled. He was very angry. He was sent here yesterday with all his limbs intact, but now he is crippled.
"Someone took my things and I refused to give them back, so I was pushed down and stepped on..."
The sound was so small, like the buzzing of a mosquito, that Zhang Yuan could only hear it clearly because of his poor hearing.
Zhang Yuan wanted to say something but couldn't. Even if he could get the people into the base and he had informed the base leaders, what would it matter?
A five or six-year-old child has no parents or guardians around him. If he has something in his hands, he will be robbed; if he has nothing, he will be bullied. He also knows that this is the living environment in the end times, but since he brought this child here, he feels a little uncomfortable letting go.
"Come with me first and I'll treat your wound."
"Tsu~"
