Qiu Feng replied calmly, "Let's wait, they'll come again."
Sure enough, two days later, they sent people over again, and one of them was Hu Chong, a brother they all knew, who was also the strongest member besides Qiu Feng.
Qiu Feng looked at Hu Chong, who was dressed in a neat and orderly combat uniform, and said with a half-mocking smile, "Even you have changed? Good brother?"
Hu Chong's answer was as serious as ever: "The world is changing, and if we want to survive, we have to change with it."
Qiu Feng's gaze sharpened as he stared at Hu Chong and asked, "Do the other brothers share the same thoughts as you?"
Hu Chong didn't answer this time, which made Qiu Feng feel a little better. He then asked, "Where are the other brothers? Are they alive or dead?"
Hu Chong didn't reply to Qiu Feng's words, but changed the subject, saying, "Our boss can provide you with fifty tons of grain. He can compromise and not buy living people, only corpses. You are currently short of supplies and desperately need this kind of help."
Qiu Feng said directly, "We don't have that many corpses to sell to your boss."
Hu Chong: "It doesn't matter. The location of this town is good. Our boss originally wanted to develop it into a good base, but now that you have taken over this place, he is also willing to take a step back and not be fixated on this place, and choose a nearby location instead."
Once we've chosen a location, we can hire your people and those from the shelter to construct the underground shelter. The pay will be better than what you're doing now.
Qiu Feng looked at Hu Chong and said, "Return Qiu Chen and Lin Shuang back first."
Hu Chong looked back and said, "It's their own unwillingness to come back, and they are currently at a critical juncture. They cannot come back, otherwise it would be harmful to them. Brother, I'm not lying to you."
Qiu Feng realized that what Hu Chong said was true, but he felt even more angry and helpless. He could manage hundreds of tough brothers, but he couldn't do anything about his own two unruly children.
"Then let your boss offer something else in exchange for my consent. After all, letting a jackal settle nearby involves a great risk," Qiu Feng relented.
Hu Chong asked directly, "What do you want?"
Qiu Feng replied just as directly: "One hundred tons of grain and one hundred tons of daily necessities."
Hu Chong frowned, and after a moment he bargained: "Fifty tons of grain, fifty tons of daily necessities."
Qiu Feng stared at Hu Chong with a cold smile, remaining silent. Hu Chong knew he was dissatisfied and raised the price again: "Sixty tons of grain, sixty tons of daily necessities."
Qiu Feng smiled and said, "One hundred and fifty tons of grain and one hundred and fifty tons of daily necessities. If you try to bargain any further, you can go back now."
Hu Chong glanced at his companion beside him, and the two exchanged glances for a couple of seconds. Finally, Hu Chong's companion spoke up: "At most, we'll have 100 tons of grain and 100 tons of supplies. When our people come here to scout out the environment and choose a location, please don't stop them."
Qiu Feng considered it for three seconds, then nodded and agreed.
