Chapter 57 Chapter 57
"It'll take at least two acres."
Even though Chen Guoan had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by him: "Two acres is not cheap, and you can't use all the good things you have like this."
"You three brothers and sisters don't need such a big place."
Chen Guoan wanted to persuade him again, but Ye Xun refused: "Things can only reflect their value when they are used. Besides, I still have a lot of vegetable and sweet potato seeds. It would be a waste if I don't find a piece of land to plant them. And I can't park my car outside. It's too dangerous."
Yes, Chen Guoan saw how Ye Xun's RV attracted many jealous eyes along the way. Since the other party insisted on buying such a large piece of land, then let him do it.
"The money and goods have been paid. If you can't produce these things by then, I won't give you this land." Chen Guoan said it in advance. A favor is a favor, but you can't think of refusing to pay it back.
Ye Xun was not so poor that he could not afford those things. He could just take out some medicine from the space and make those leaders beg him to buy the land. They were all life-saving things.
The team was about to set off, and Ye Xun did not linger any longer. "I will come to you with the things when the time comes. I'm leaving first, my friends are still waiting for me."
Chen Guoan nodded and told him to go back quickly as he also had to pack up and leave.
It was a little after 1 a.m. when Ye Xun returned to the car. The sunrise was at 4:30 a.m., so the team could still walk for another three hours.
He relayed the news that Chen Guoan would not come to Yu Fei. The little girl nodded with a faint expression, and it was hard to tell whether she was disappointed or indifferent.
Her thoughts are deeper than Wang Yu's. If Wang Yu is a shallow puddle, Yu Fei is a canal. She has some thoughts but not many. Ye Xun does not stop her from contacting Wang Yu because he hopes Wang Yu can learn something from her.
"I sent a dose of snake repellent to your parents, so you don't have to worry too much." Seeing that Wang Yu liked her new sisters very much, Ye Xun kindly comforted her.
Yu Fei didn't dare to look directly at him, as she always felt that he would see through her thoughts. She ignored his gaze and stared at the coffee table in front of her right, "Thank you, Brother Ye. I'm sorry for your trouble."
I really don't know where this habit of calling people "brother" came from, since he is obviously the youngest except Wang Yu.
Not knowing how to get along with girls, Ye Xun walked away awkwardly and called Wang Yu to spend more time with Yu Fei.
When the team was gathering, some family members noticed that there were fewer people, so Chen Guoan sent a patrol team to see what was going on. As a result, they found several corpses with purple skin and two tooth holes in their legs.
Their family members quickly realized that they had been bitten by a snake.
If it were them in the past, they might have been crying while holding the corpse, but now they accept death calmly.
The bumpy road they experienced made them begin to become numb.
The huge team moved again, heading towards the unknown base ahead.
After walking about half the distance, the sun came out and the team set up camp to rest. After the moon rose, they continued to move forward and finally arrived at the base at one o'clock in the morning.
The gate of the base was open, the lights were on inside, and there were the sounds of vendors shouting and hawking their wares, as if the world had not yet ended.
People couldn't help but reveal a look of longing on their faces.
Ye Xun and the other leaders looked at the prosperous scene with caution. These people were almost all strong men, with only a few women. They looked like characters that were not easy to mess with, as they had at least killed several people.
I’m afraid that this trip will not be peaceful. Fortunately, they found a cave to hide the RV, otherwise this group of people would probably treat them as fat sheep.
The appearance of tens of thousands of people outside the base was bound to attract attention. Not long after, a car appeared at the end of the road. Judging from the logo on the front of the car, it was Maybach.
Ye Xun had a basic judgement about the visitor. He thought that he was a person who cared about his reputation and liked to pretend to be nice to others. This kind of person was very easy to break through.
As the vehicle approached, a strong bald man came out from the back seat. He was wearing a floral shirt and beach pants, flip-flops, a pair of sunglasses on his nose, and a floral tattoo on his left arm, dressed like a gangster.
He first bowed and made a gentlemanly gesture, "Welcome everyone to the Wild Wolf Base. I am the base commander here, Gao Yong. You can call me Brother Yong."
This kind of gentlemanly behavior seems inappropriate, even a little crazy.
As the leader of the H base, Chen Guoan came out to talk to him: "Hello, Base Commander Gao, we are from the H city base. We are sorry to bother you when we pass by your place. We may have to stay nearby for a few days and exchange food for some supplies with you. I hope your base can tolerate this."
The purpose of keeping a low profile is to hide one's strength and let the other party let down their guard.
Sure enough, when Gao Yong saw Chen Guoan's attitude and then looked at the dusty group of people behind him, he began to look down on them in his heart.
"When it comes to the survival of mankind, we naturally need to unite and help each other. Our base has sufficient supplies. If you need anything, just ask the vendors."
He didn't think these people would be able to bring out anything good, but the base had been out of stock for too long. If he refused, he didn't know when he would see people from other bases again.
With permission from the head of the base, Chen Guoan ordered the patrol team to set up tents in the surrounding open space. After the first tent was set up, he went inside and wrote down the transaction list on paper.
The most important thing is salt, which was dried in large quantities before the migration, so there is no shortage for the time being. The base's supplies are short of medicines, otherwise so many people would not have died along the way.
He wrote down several commonly used medicines and some Chinese herbal medicine seeds and gave them to Zhao Wenjie, asking him to settle the residents and then bring a few people to the Wild Wolf Base to trade.
When Ye Xun came to find Chen Guoan, he happened to hear this and recommended himself, "Base Commander, can Brother Qin and I be included? We also have things to exchange."
"Okay, you two have some skills, and I'll feel at ease if you follow Zhao Wenjie." Chen Guoan agreed cheerfully.
The patrol team has a fatal weakness: their sense of morality is too strong. In the apocalypse where people are eaten without leaving any bones, morality is a huge burden.
Ye Xun and Qin Wei would weigh the pros and cons of a matter before deciding whether to do it or not, which is exactly what the patrol team lacks.
Ye Xun pretended to go back to the car to get something, but actually went into the space to take out the treasure.
He only planned to bring some cigarettes and alcohol, which were of high value and did not take up much space, to find out what was going on in this base. The way Gao Yong looked at the young women and children in the base just now made him very unhappy.
In addition to the patrol team, some residents also formed teams to enter the base to watch.
Ye Xun followed the patrol team and looked at this prosperous abnormal point base out of the corner of his eye.
Crowded markets, full restaurants, and even a red-light district.
There were several young men and women standing in the alley, wearing scantily clad clothes and with seductive eyes. They looked no older than 20 years old, but they looked like they had been in prostitution for many years.
When she saw the patrol team, she flirted with them like a wolf seeing a flock of sheep.
The young ones, seeing this kind of scene for the first time, looked straight ahead without being moved, but their ears turned red. The older ones, knowing that these were spider spirits from the Pansi Cave, were not moved at all.
Although there are many stalls in the base, there is only one stall that sells medicines. You need to go through the alley where the young ladies and gentlemen are standing and go to the innermost part.
Several blushing soldiers were soon entangled and were not able to escape until they pulled out their guns.
After entering the store, Ye Xun found it extremely deserted. Apart from their people, there was only one receptionist, a charming woman in her thirties.
Her lips, painted with bright red lipstick, opened and closed as she explained how to trade: "Food and daily necessities are on the left, medicine and weapons are on the right, take whatever you want, and then come to the middle to pay me."
Before coming, Ye Xun and Chen Guoan said they wanted to change some women's products. They walked to the shelf on the left naturally and started to choose.
