"Captain Zhao, just two of us can take us back to the road we just came from. You don't all have to..."
When Su Xiangzhe saw that Zhao Nian and others were ready to go to see them off, he couldn't help but worry about the 1,000 kilograms of supplies that were left here. Although there were only dozens of bags of food, it was still a considerable amount.
“It’s okay, we’ll all go.”
Zhao Nian said with certainty without even glancing at the supplies on the ground. The others just glanced at Lao Wang's group and said nothing.
"Let's go."
Huang Yunxiang urged.
Now she just wanted to leave here before dark. The oil tank was already in her hands, and the important thing was to find a place in the wilderness to rest in the space.
Looking at the survivors who all came out to see him off, Su Jin did not feel any enthusiasm at all. Their farewell seemed like they were watching, or waiting for something.
Sure enough, when the two tanks drove onto the road, a circle of visible walls was erected around the base station. From a distance, it looked like a masterpiece jointly created by the earth and gold elements.
"Captain Zhao, with all due respect, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back."
Su Jin said.
Zhao Nian and his companions were all wearing tattered clothes, and standing in the wind and sand, they looked a bit desolate.
"1000 kilograms of food, such a long relationship, is only worth this much."
Zhao Nian smiled bitterly.
"Did you originally plan to leave here?"
Lin Xiuyuan asked curiously.
However, Zhao Nian shook his head and said helplessly:
"This is a last-minute decision. We have been waiting for their attitude, but now it seems that is no longer necessary."
"That's a pity. We were thinking about having long-term cooperation with this place in the future."
Su Xiangzhe's tone was full of regret.
"Hey guys, we still have a few oil cans here, would you like some? We can give you a slightly cheaper price."
Zhao Nian stopped looking at the base station and turned to speak to Su Jin and the others.
"Captain Zhao has already planned it, so it would be unreasonable for us not to help him."
Lu Hao looked at Zhao Nian and the others with a smile. It was obvious that these people had already made sufficient preparations for everything that happened today.
Zhao Nian was stunned, then burst into laughter.
"You figured it out, really..."
You really can't judge a book by its cover, Zhao Nian thought. These people from Long Xing Tian Xia looked ordinary, the kind you couldn't even tell apart in a crowd. But after getting to know them, he discovered that each of them was actually incredibly smart.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Su Jin had no idea what was going on. Seeing that Zhao Nian asked Xiao Ye Zi to take out another five large oil cans and put them on the road, she immediately took out another 1,000 kilograms of grain in exchange.
Now, they probably won’t have to worry about oil shortages for a long time.
"Ms. Zhang, the price our captain mentioned shouldn't be enough to buy this much food."
The middle-aged woman in Zhao Nian’s team just said after counting the number.
“It’s okay, I hope we can continue to cooperate.”
Su Jin smiled.
Lu Guanhai was confused throughout the whole process and didn't understand what Lu Hao and Su Jin were talking about with Zhao Nian and his group, but he was rational and didn't interrupt to ask, so as not to appear too stupid in front of outsiders.
It was not until they parted with Zhao Nian and his group and the family got into their own SUV and drove slowly forward that Lu Guanhai finally couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah, yeah, I don't quite understand either. Was that a private transaction just now?"
Lin Cheng also asked.
Lu Hao stepped on the accelerator and said with a smile: "This is actually a matter between them. Those people in the base station obviously don't trust Zhao Nian and others. They are obviously xenophobic."
Those 1,000 kilograms of food were probably a huge fortune in the eyes of Lao Wang and others at the base station, so after Zhao Nian and others sent Long Xingtianxia out, they simply closed the base station. They were afraid that Zhao Nian and others would not be allowed to enter even if they returned. In other words, they planned to keep those supplies for themselves.
But in fact, Zhao Nian and his team had already made these preparations. The oil tanks in their space-ability space, as well as spare cars and other supplies, explained it all.
"That's a shame. These people actually do have some principles. If I were to do business with those people at the base station, I'd be worried about what they might do behind the scenes."
Huang Yunxiang said that it was not that she looked at people through tinted glasses, but she felt that in the end times, character was even more important. Although Zhao Nian and others were also considering themselves, at least they would not harm others.
"No, those people won't be able to hold on for too long. These people with special abilities will probably go back again, right, brother-in-law?"
Mao Qiqi asked, tilting her head.
"Qiqi? You can see all this?"
Lin Xiuyuan said in surprise.
"Qiqi is right, Zhao Nian and the others will most likely go back after a while."
Lu Hao praised.
"Because the area around the base station isn't absolutely safe either. It's very close to H Province. Most importantly, there are very few people with special abilities among them. They can't survive without someone to protect them."
Mao Qiqi's analysis was very logical, and Lu Guanhai suddenly felt ashamed. Even Mao Qiqi could see it, but he was still so stupid as to not be able to tell it apart.
“Mediocre qualifications”
Nie Qing leaned over to Lu Guanhai and smiled.
“…”
Lu Guanhai didn't want to argue anymore. Looking at the sand all over his body, he decided to go into the space and take a shower to calm himself down.
"Okay, stop attacking Lao Lu. Let's find a place to rest for a while."
Su Xiangzhe smiled.
