"Captain Li, is what you just said true? Are you really not going to sell food to me? But didn't you clearly say before that you had already discussed it with our Captain Xie? Have you changed your mind?" The leading space mutant said anxiously, with a hint of questioning in his voice.

Li Xue frowned and said somewhat unhappily: "Are you blaming me for this? What I said was of course true. I was just trying to comfort the people in my base. Also, even if I don't sell food to you, you don't seem to have anything to say. After all, our own base can hardly protect itself. Selling food to your base is a favor, and not selling it is our duty. How come it has become necessary to sell it to you? If everyone in your base thinks this way, then I really have to think about it. After all, our food is not so much that we can't finish it and we have to beg others to buy it."

The man's face turned pale when he heard this. If Li Xue really changed his mind and stopped selling food because of his words, wouldn't he be a sinner?

"Captain Li, that's not what I meant. I just care too much about food, so my tone was a little harsh. Please don't take it personally. I apologize to you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me this time. Captain Li, millions of people in our base are waiting for food to be brought back to save their lives. You must help us!" The man kept saying nice things.

Li Xue waved her hand: "Okay, go back and wait! I will notify you when the food is ready. Also, you have seen their attitude just now, so you must keep the matter of selling food to you a secret. If the news leaks out and is known by the people in our base, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to take away a single grain of food, but I will also offend everyone in the base."

"Yes, yes, Base Commander Li, don't worry, we will keep our mouths shut and will never cause any trouble." The man kept assuring.

Li Xue waved her hand, and the man returned to their temporary residence - a small villa not far from the gate. Otherwise, they would not have had someone come to stop the sale of food so quickly. Fortunately, they found out in time. Otherwise, if Base Captain Li was really persuaded by the people of Hope Base and didn't intend to sell them food, it would be troublesome.

Although she and Base Captain Xie had agreed, if everyone in Hope Base opposed this, then they couldn't even think about taking any of the food. After all, no one could guarantee what would happen next? How long would the rain last? It was reasonable for Hope Base not to sell them food in order to protect itself, and no one could blame them for anything.

At midnight that night, the group of space psychics were quietly taken from the villa to the food warehouse of Hope Base.

Li Xue said to the leader, "The food has been prepared. The quantity is not much. After all, I have to leave a way out for my base. I hope these foods can be of help. You can take the extra crystal cores back later. Tell the base commander to thank you and ask him to go to other bases to see if he can buy food."

The leader nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, thank you, Base Commander Li."

Li Xue waved her hand, "Don't talk too much. Pack the food quickly. You may have to leave overnight. I'm afraid that after dawn, the people will be watching your every move, and you may not be able to leave even if you want to."

The leader nodded, thanked them a lot, and then took the space mutants to pack the food.

The food prepared by Hope Base this time is really not much, only about 500,000 kilograms. Facing the millions of people in H Base, I am afraid that each person may not even get a small bowl. But even so, the leader still said a lot of good things.

Li Xue really couldn't stand this man's enthusiasm, and quickly interrupted him: "I will send someone to take you out of the base." After that, he waved his hand and asked several soldiers to escort them out of the base.

Led by the soldiers, those space power users stumbled to the gate of Hope Base.

Along the way, it was raining heavily, the road was slippery, and there was no light. It was very clumsy to walk. But no one dared to ask for a flashlight or something. The whole Hope Base was pitch black. If the light of the flashlight startled the people in Hope Base, it would be bad.

Just before they were about to leave the residential area, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard a series of knocking sounds.

Everyone's heart sank, oh no, they were discovered.

Sure enough, they heard someone shouting, "Everyone, come out quickly, those people from H base are preparing to run away with our food, come out and stop them!"

"Wow--" The entire residential area was blown up, and lights were on everywhere.

Many people rushed towards them, and the light of flashlights kept shining on them.

"Run!" I don't know who shouted, and these space psychics collectively used teleportation and ran towards the gate of the base.

Because they were not familiar with the terrain and route of Hope Base, the group ran stumblingly, and some of the bases were bleeding and in a mess.

Finally, several space users were stopped by the angry people.

The crowd surrounded them, and in the heavy rain, they shouted at them, "Hand over the food!"

"Give us back our food, or we'll kill you!"

"Hand over the food, get out of our base! We don't welcome you!"

Those space users had never seen such a scene before, and they were so scared that their faces turned pale and they huddled together. The raincoats soaked them from head to toe, and they were covered with a lot of mud, looking really pitiful.

"We don't have any food, really, we don't have any food." A space psychic said weakly. He really didn't have any food on him. The food was with those space psychics of higher levels. Their levels were relatively low, otherwise they wouldn't have been caught.

"He's lying!" At this time, a loud voice came, and a short man squeezed in from the crowd with a broken iron basin in one hand and a wooden stick in the other. Obviously, this man was the one who was shouting for help just now, and the so-called gong sound was actually the sound of the broken iron basin in his hand.

The short man pointed at the space mutants with the hand holding the stick and said, "He is lying. I saw them coming out of the granary with my own eyes just now. I followed them all the way from the granary and found that they were preparing to escape overnight."

"Fortunately, we are more careful and have people keep an eye on them. Otherwise, I'm afraid they would run away with the food. We would have nothing to eat then."

"We can't let them take our food away."
