Outside the space, Xing Taian was digging crystal cores with the villagers, but no one would put the crystal cores into their pockets.
Because even if they took these crystal cores, they would be useless. If they handed them over voluntarily, they might be able to ask Captain Xing and others to help them exchange some food for the base. The streets leading to the base were too dangerous. They had tried to exchange food for the base before, but they all suffered heavy losses.
The villagers did not even want the mutant crystal cores that were dug up. They all agreed that if the strength of Captain Xing and his team was improved, perhaps their casualties could be reduced each time.
Ren Yingjie found the farmland again. He discovered that the farmland was planted under a stone eaves. Just as he was about to get closer to take a closer look, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the ground under his feet.
"Who are you? Don't even think about stealing the vegetables my grandfather grows!"
A chubby little boy came out, but although he was chubby, he was very thin, with a big head and a small body.
Ren Yingjie knew that this was a sign of long-term malnutrition, and all the children in the village looked like this.
"Hello, little friend, I'm not here to steal vegetables. I'm just curious how someone could be so talented as to actually grow vegetable seedlings."
Ren Yingjie put on his most harmless smile and said that these seedlings were obviously grown under care, and he would not pick any of them to study.
When the little boy heard what Ren Yingjie said, he puffed up his chest with pride and said, "My grandpa is the best. He grew all these vegetable seedlings. Other grandpas and grandmas all failed, but my grandpa succeeded."
"Where is your grandfather? Can you take me to see him? I also want to ask for your advice."
Ren Yingjie asked anxiously after hearing this.
Seeing that Ren Yingjie didn't look like someone who wanted to steal his vegetable seedlings, the little boy pointed the way to Ren Yingjie and said, "I still need to check the vegetable garden. Go find it yourself!"
Ren Yingjie thanked him profusely. He took another deep look at the green and yellow seedlings and hurriedly walked in the direction the little boy pointed. The little boy said that he and his grandfather lived in the house at the third corner, and whichever house had a plastic shed in the yard was their home.
He knew that the man Su Jin and the others had woken up, and perhaps they were about to leave, so he had to figure out before that why vegetable seedlings could be grown here. You know, City E had tried to grow crops and vegetables before, but all ended in failure.
At the same time, Xing Taian was both excited and worried. They had at least 40,000 crystal cores today, but he didn't know if Su Jin and the others still had that much food.
After all, crystal cores have a price, but food is priceless.
Moreover, some team members came to tell him that they had seen Lu Hao putting things into their car, and it seemed that he was about to leave the village.
How can this be?!
He hasn't exchanged his food yet, let alone forty thousand crystal cores. Even if he could only exchange for one more bag, it would be enough for their village to survive for a long time.
When Xing Taian was anxiously preparing to go to the next yard to look for Su Jin and Lu Hao, Su Jin and Lu Hao had already arrived accompanied by Yan Gang and a group of team members.
Su Jin was also speechless. When she was still resting in the space, Lu Hao came in and reminded her that they might have to go to Xing Taian in advance. From time to time, a head would pop up on the wall of the neighboring courtyard where Xing Taian's team was, as if trying to find out when they would leave.
So the two of them thought that it would be better to trade with Xing Taian and the others as soon as possible, as they seemed to be in a hurry.
"Su Jin, we've cleaned the crystal cores thoroughly. There are a total of 100. How many can you give us in exchange?"
Xing Taian looked at Su Jin anxiously. If they couldn't exchange all of them, they could exchange half of them. If that didn't work, they could even exchange them for 10,000 coins. They would still make a profit today.
Yan Gang had already taken out all the crystal cores that Xing Taian mentioned and placed them in front of Su Jin, and asked with a smile:
"Miss, they're all here. Do you want to count them again?"
“I won’t count anymore. I believe you.”
Su Jin waved his hand and put the crystal core into the storage bag.
Afterwards, she asked everyone to make room for the empty seats in the main hall, and a large pile of neatly stacked supplies appeared in front of everyone.
Xing Taian was so shocked by Su Jin's smooth collection movements that he was speechless.
She accepted them all? Does that mean they were all changed?!
Are all these supplies given to them?
Xing Taian counted excitedly. There were actually three hundred bags of food! And next to them were several baskets of eggs, even more than last night's. And even more packaged corn?!
How can I get so many in exchange?
"Wholesale price, and my Piranha Plant ate a lot of your zombies."
Su Jin said with a smile.
"This, this is so embarrassing. You guys need food too, right? If you sell it all to us, you..."
Xing Taian said with a complicated expression, "Everyone else sells for as much as they can, but these two are actually charging them wholesale prices?" Although these are also for the villagers to eat, they can't let Su Jin and the others down.
"Don't worry, we still have some, and if you keep them for a long time, they will go bad, so you can keep them."
She had just deposited more than 40,000 crystal cores. All the crystal cores in the village were in her storage bag. It felt like a dream to think about it.
"Thank you so much, woooo, it would have been great if I had met you earlier."
One team member started crying, saying that if he had met these two good people earlier, perhaps his comrades would not have died.
"Captain Xing, if you're willing, you can also come to the S City base to exchange food with me, but it might be a long way off."
Su Jin said that it would be a waste if the crystal cores in this village were returned to other nearby bases. It would be great if she could monopolize this business.
"Really, sister?!"
Xing Taian was so excited that he wanted to hold Su Jin's hand, but was quickly blocked by Lu Hao who was standing beside him.
"If you dare to go, we will sell it to you at any time"
Lu Hao said with a forced smile that his wife's hand should not be held by anyone.
"We dare to go! We must dare to go! Going to see you once is worth going to those bases a hundred times."
Yan Gang also said that when they went to those bases to exchange food, the worst they could get was only five kilograms of food. It was dangerous and not cost-effective to go back and forth. Although S City is a bit far away, if they exchange with Su Jin, they can get a lot at a time!
"Okay, Captain Xing, it's settled then. Happy cooperation," Su Jin said happily.
“Happy cooperation”
Xing Taian laughed and shook hands with Lu Hao. This boy was really enviable. He had such a beautiful wife. If it were him, he might protect her even better than him.
