Chapter 496: I am really pitiful
Eating hot pot seems to dispel a lot of moisture from my body.
At noon on the fourth day, when Xiang Yu was sitting on the wall barbecuing, he heard shouting from the fortress gate.
The robot stood beside Xiang Yu and opened the panel, and the figures of four old men appeared before him.
The old man standing in the front was the old man I had just seen two days ago.
The four old men all had anxious looks on their faces, and each of them had a cross-body bag slung over their shoulders.
The four of them looked at the imposing fortress gate and the gun muzzles sticking out of the holes in the wall, and for a moment they all wanted to retreat.
"Will the owner here really accept this thing?" They are all old people who still remain in the plains.
No one knew each other, they just met when they were looking for something to eat in the same place.
When the old man in charge discovered them, he looked very excited. He advised them not to eat what they dug, but to bring it to the fortress in the back mountain.
It can be exchanged for several whole-grain cakes, which are food that can only be eaten in the base or shelter.
Although they didn't believe it in their hearts, they still followed him to see what would happen if it was really as he said.
Xiang Yu looked at the cautious looks of the few people, immediately stood up, stretched, and opened the gate of the fortress.
Following behind him were four combat robots.
The old man in the lead saw the door finally open and after seeing the familiar girl, he took out the things in his bag.
Xiang Yu took a look at it and thought it should have been dug out yesterday, but it was well preserved. He ordered the robot beside him to bring the box and Xiang Yu walked forward.
The old man brought two medicinal herbs this time. He wanted to exchange them all for food, so he washed off the mud on the herbs.
There were six whole-grain biscuits in total, which could be stored for at least half a month. The old man carefully took the biscuits handed over by the robot and put them in his backpack.
He looked at the oxygen cylinder on Xiang Yu's face and asked carefully, "Can you change the oxygen cylinder here?"
Now that the Antelope Base has been destroyed by those predators, all the people in the Antelope Base have left. Whenever they want to replace their oxygen cylinders, they have to go to those predators to exchange them.
"Okay, but it takes ten of these herbs to exchange for one oxygen cylinder," Xiang Yu thought about how Zhao Lixin would bring her something every time he came.
She should return the gift, save up some and send it to Zhao Lixin. Many of these unknown plants can only grow here in the plains.
There is none in G City.
"Ten..." The old man listened to Xiang Yu's words. Compared with those plunderers, the charge of this little girl was obviously very reasonable.
"Okay, okay, I'll come and change the oxygen cylinder next time," the old man put the biscuits in his bag, turned around and left.
Six cakes can last for at least six days. During these six days, he has plenty of time to look for medicinal herbs since the bag is filled with food anyway.
He no longer has to conserve his energy like he did before.
The three old men behind him were delighted to see this and stepped forward. Their medicinal materials were also prepared with the old man's reminder.
After Xiang Yu looked at it, he gave them the coarse-grain cakes. In the past few years, the food in the space has been managed and harvested by robots.
There were also several small mountains of food piled up, which was enough for her to eat. If she took out some of it to exchange for something else, she would not lose out.
She didn't make many whole grain pancakes, and now that they were coming to exchange, she had to prepare more. Fortunately, whole grain pancakes were not complicated to make.
Xiang Yu handed all these over to robots and became a hands-off boss.
In the evening six days later, the old men who had come before came again, but this time there were fifteen of them.
They are all old people who still live in the plains. There are only fifteen of them in this ten-mile radius.
They came here because they heard that they could exchange things here.
There were more than a dozen elderly people, all starving to the point of being skin and bones, with sunken eye sockets, and it looked like they wouldn’t have much time left to live.
The old man who said he wanted to change his oxygen cylinder last time only found ten medicinal herbs this time, which were only enough to change the oxygen cylinder, and there was no food.
The old man talked about how pitiful he had been recently, hoping that Xiang Yu would sympathize with him and give him something to eat, but Xiang Yu's eyes were cold.
"You don't have to change it anymore."
When the old man heard Xiang Yu's words, he panicked for a moment. He kept apologizing, and the old men behind him looked at him with reproachful eyes.
Now this is the only place in the plains where food can be exchanged. If this old man offends Xiang Yu, then it’s no different from offending them.
