"Xiaohong has been having some trouble lately, so we came here first."
Lu Hao replied.
inconvenient?
Yao Rui thought that the inconvenience Lu Hao was talking about was the days that normal women would have to go out. And indeed, she was right. Women in the apocalypse generally could not go out during those days of each month. Otherwise, not only would they be in danger, but they would also put the team in danger.
“That’s a shame.”
Yao Rui was a little disappointed, but only for a moment. She soon started chatting with the family until Xiao Zhao came to inform them that the two hours were up.
Yao Rui was even happier when she learned that Chen Daming and his team's purpose of coming this time was really to sell supplies.
The supplies Xiaohong sold to their base last time were almost gone. After she became the base commander, she did not withhold any supplies at all. As long as the survivors took the crystal cores, they could exchange them for corresponding food in the base cafeteria.
During this period, the base's logistics department had informed her several times that the supplies could only last for half a month at most. After half a month, they could only use some mutant animals they had recently hunted.
It can be said that Chen Daming and his team came at the perfect time.
"I have arranged accommodation for you at the base. I will have someone take you there later. You can rest for half a day first."
Yao Rui said with a smile that she was now in an extremely relaxed mood and the pressure in her heart had been reduced a lot. It would be even more perfect if Xiaohong could come.
"Is it still the North Courtyard where we lived last time?"
Huang Yunxiang asked.
"Auntie, that's not the case. This time I've arranged a bigger place, which is closer to where I live and will be more convenient for your movements."
Yao Rui replied.
"Thank you for your help. This is the gift Xiaohong asked us to bring. Please accept it, Miss Yao."
Lu Hao took out a box, but Yao Rui couldn't tell what was inside.
"I'm so grateful that you guys can come, and you can give me something."
Yao Rui wanted to refuse. The gifts Xiaohong gave must be very valuable, but she had never given Xiaohong anything.
"Please accept Xiaohong's kindness."
Lin Tianhui also came over and said that she had a very good impression of Yao Rui, but she didn't know what Su Jin had packed in the box.
Yao Rui had no choice but to accept it as it would be too awkward to refuse.
The people who brought the family there were actually Kong Shangjie and Dayu, two people they had known before.
"My benefactors, you are finally here. We missed you so much."
Kong Shangjie said exaggeratedly.
"Hey, why are you still wearing these plush shoes? Aren't you hot?"
Lin Xiuyuan remembered the pair of shoes and the miserable look on Kong Shangjie's face when they first saw him.
"I heard you were coming, so I went back and wore this pair of commemorative shoes to see you. How are they? I kept them well, didn't I?"
Kong Shangjie raised his foot to show off.
"It's a pity that Xiaohong didn't come. I heard you guys will also be selling supplies?"
Dayu supported Li Xiuying and asked. She remembered the grandma who gave out porridge, but she never knew her name.
"Xiaohong misses you guys too. This time, just like last time, we're selling everything!"
Li Xiuying replied with a smile.
"That's great. You guys didn't know that last time you left in a hurry, the base was cleaned up again after you left. A lot of bodies and crystal cores were found. But luckily, you all came this time, grandma."
Dayu still remembers that when the base was being cleaned up, thousands of people starved to death in the base. That was the first time she saw Yao Rui cry.
"Well, that's why I say that as long as there's a little hope, it's better not to give up. Maybe a turning point will come."
Li Xiuying was deeply moved after hearing this. This world is also a great test of people's desire to survive.
The news of Chen Daming's arrival quickly spread throughout the base. Later, the newcomers to the base did not know who these people were, but the former survivors of City D all knew about it. This news made them even more excited than the New Year's celebrations in the past.
They have cheap supplies to buy again!
The accommodation that Yao Rui arranged for the group was extremely luxurious. The entire yard was as big as a small football field. Before the end of the world, this should have been a large villa of a wealthy family, which could be seen from the decoration inside.
“Isn’t this too big?”
Huang Yunxiang exclaimed that although they had a large number of people, they did not need such a large villa.
"This is the best house in our base. The base commander had this plan when we cleared it out. He said he would let you live here when you guys, Xiaohong, arrive. The yard is big enough, and it will be convenient for you to sell supplies."
Kong Shangjie introduced.
“Yeah, not bad.”
Lu Hao was very satisfied. This was the very center of the base, so there was no problem with safety. There were also many rooms that could be used to store supplies.
"Then you take a rest first, we won't disturb you."
Kong Shangjie was very perceptive, although he also wanted to stay in this big house for a while longer.
"We'll start selling after 4 o'clock, and we'll sell until 7 o'clock. Or you can trade with Miss Yao first."
Lu Hao didn't plan to rest for too long. After all, he could still rest in the space for three or four days at night.
"Three hours, I understand. I'll ask the base commander to arrange it."
Kong Shangjie nodded. He also felt that they should trade with the base first. What if Chen Daming and his team ran out of supplies in the end?
"I came here with my family, and I'm really enjoying myself. I'm being worshipped wherever I go."
Lin Tianhui smiled and said that she had been looked at like a big star the whole time she walked in. It was a pity that her face was fake.
The minibus was parked in the yard of the villa. Lu Hao went in directly and brought Su Jin, who was in invisible state, down.
"Su Jin, what did you give Yao Rui? Why is it so mysteriously covered with tape?"
Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but ask.
"This is a secret between girls, you don't need to know"
Su Jin looked around the big villa and replied with a smile.
On the other side, after returning to the office, Yao Rui opened the gift Zhang Xiaohong gave her. The top gift box was a set of skin care products, but the things underneath made her laugh and cry.
Su Jin actually gave her so many packs of sanitary napkins...
"Ahem"
Although there were not many people in the office, Yao Rui still blushed, which was rare for her.
This thing is quite precious, and Xiaohong is so... cute.
At four o'clock, Yao Rui brought a few people to the central villa on time and brought a list of supplies they needed to buy.
"Two million crystal cores? That's a lot!"
Nie Qing was shocked. This was their biggest deal, right?
"There shouldn't be so many. Dayu should have told you that the base had a major cleanup a while ago, and nearly half of these came from that cleanup. Of course, there's also some that were secretly kept by previous managers."
Yao Rui sighed, but there were still some crystal cores in the base that were being urgently sorted out by the logistics department. These 2 million crystal cores were from the previous inventory, so she still planned to take them out and exchange them first.
