After listening to Xiang Dong's words, Xie Bin was stunned for a long while, and then he said in a heavy tone: "Minister Xiang, Commander Li, I also know that what I did this time was not very fair, but I really had no choice. I can't just watch millions of people starve to death! Please, for the sake of these millions of lives, you must help!"

Li Xue gave Xiang Dong a bitter smile. Xie Bin is really a man who can bend and stretch.

"Thank you, Base Commander," Li Xue said into the phone, "We don't have much food now, and I'm afraid it won't be of much use. After all, there are 200,000 or 300,000 people in our base waiting to eat. We can only try our best to get some food for you, and you should think of other ways. Maybe the situation in other bases will be better?"

Xie Bin was silent for a while, afraid that if he continued to pester, Li Xue might not sell any food, so he had to agree first: "Okay, then thank you, Base Commander Li."

Li Xue said calmly: "No, we can't help much."

After hanging up the phone, the group of people started discussing again.

"Do we have to sell them food? We don't have much food in stock. What will happen to the people in our base after we sell it to them?" Jian Hui knew the amount of food in the base very well. The food in stock looked a lot, but the base had more than 200,000. If we sold part of it to H base, how long could they hold on? No one could guarantee what would happen in the future.

"What else can we do? We have to let them take some back. Otherwise, with Xie Bin's character, I'm afraid he will really let the people in his base come to us. When so many people gather at the gate of our base, will you accept them or not? If you accept them, the base can't support them. If you don't accept them, I'm afraid the Hope Base will become a target of criticism in the future." Li Xue said helplessly.

Everyone was silent for a while.

"Then, how much food should we sell to them?" Lin Miao asked.

"Not too much, and certainly not too little. Let's give them the food we recently seized." Li Xue thought about it.

Xiang Dong said, "Don't give too much, otherwise I'm afraid Xie Bin will send people again in a short time. He is like a dog-skin plaster. Once you get it stuck, it will be difficult to get rid of it."

Everyone nodded frantically. They have all experienced Xie Bin's methods. This is a flexible person. No matter how hard or soft you are, he has a way to deal with it. And he always makes you speechless.

Li Xue's eyes lit up and asked Xiang Dong, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Xiang Dong smiled and nodded, then waved for everyone to come over and whispered his ideas.

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Long was so excited that he clapped his hands: "Haha, Xiangdong, you look honest, but you are actually full of bad intentions."

Xiangdong glanced at Zhang Long and sneered: "Really?"

Zhang Long was shocked by the glance and laughed: "Hehe, I made a mistake, a mistake."

Everyone looked at Zhang Long's apologetic look and laughed.

After discussing the countermeasures, Li Xue and Xiangdong went to meet the space power users of H base.

The man who was in charge of leading the team this time was the first man recruited by the H base government. As the first space psychic recruited by the government, this man was very arrogant. At that time, he was an official of medium or small status. But now, he looked at Li Xue and Xiang Dong with a flattering face, and he had lost the arrogance of a space psychic.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way. Just now, the base commander has called me. We also promised the base commander that we will try our best to find a way to distribute some food for you to take back. You can rest assured first. When the food is ready, I will let someone notify you." Li Xue said politely.

The leading man smiled flatteringly: "Thank you, Base Commander Li. Base Commander Li, your kindness will be remembered by the people of our base forever."

Li Xue waved her hand and left with Xiangdong.

The news that Base H sent people to buy food soon spread throughout the Hope Base.

Not long after, people came to the gate of the core area in the heavy rain, shouting: "Base Commander, you can't sell food! What should we do if we sell food?"

"Base Commander, you have to consider us!"

"Base Commander, you can't sell our food without permission!"

...

More and more people gathered in front of the core area, and the movement was so loud that the entire core area was shocked.

Li Xue opened an umbrella and hurried to the gate of the core area. Many elderly people and children were standing in the heavy rain, soaking wet, looking at her with a begging look on their faces.

Li Xue's heart was twisted hard, and she immediately gave the umbrella to the elderly person closest to her. Then she waved her hand, and a crystal clear ice tent appeared above everyone's head, blocking the heavy rain.

The ice tent was very cool, and some elderly people who were caught in the rain were shivering with cold. But they still insisted and said loudly: "Base commander, we can't sell food!"

"If we sell food, how can we survive? We don't know when this rain will stop? If it doesn't stop, the food will be sold, and we will have no way out!"

Some women burst into tears as they spoke.

Li Xue said in embarrassment: "Don't get excited. The situation at H base is urgent. Millions of people are waiting for food to save their lives. We can't just stand

by and watch them die." The people didn't buy it. The lives of others were not as important as their own lives.

"No, if we save them, we might starve to death."

"Base commander, those food are all grown by us with great effort. You can't just sell them to H base without authorization. When there is no food, those crystal cores won't be enough to fill their stomachs."

The people became more and more excited as they spoke, and it seemed that they would start a riot in the next second.

Li Xuean soothed: "Everyone calm down, we haven't agreed to sell food to H base yet. After all, before saving others, we have to consider our own situation first. Don't worry, we won't sell food to H base rashly."

"Base commander, are you serious?" someone asked loudly.

Li Xue nodded firmly: "Really."

An old man among the people said: "In this case, let's go back. Base commander, you must not sell food! Food is the foundation of our base's survival!"

Li Xue nodded carefully: "Don't worry, I won't. Everyone go back first, be careful not to catch a cold again."

The people who got the guarantee left one after another.

After all the people had left, Li Xue waved her hand to remove the ice tent and sighed.

When she was about to return to the office building, the leader of the space-based psychics from the H base hurried over.
