Both sides explained what had happened back and forth. The other party was only there to understand the situation and didn't say much more.
"Now that we've figured it out, we can go back and report."
Yu Yanbin had not expected these people to arrive.
The fact that attacking a mutated plant elicited such a strong reaction shows why this place is so coveted by the base.
Just because it's more dangerous?
I can't figure it out for a while.
Yu Yanbin rolled his eyes in his mind and came up with an idea.
"Hey, buddy, judging from your expressions, is there some kind of custom associated with this place?"
Yu Yanbin was naturally handsome and refined, and when he asked a question, his eyes were smiling, making it easier for people to agree than for others.
It's just that she's good-looking; there are always exceptions among good-looking people. And these days, people only care about looks.
“We were just passing through here, heading north. It’s so hot, so we decided to rest here for a while. We found people and teams in other places, so we chose this place.”
The other person raised an eyebrow, with an expression that said, "I knew it."
"I knew it would turn out like this. Now, everyone in the base knows this place is no place to stay, except for people like you."
"What's wrong, brother? It's dangerous here, but is it really that scary?"
Upon hearing Yu Yanbin's question, those following behind the leading man glanced in their direction.
They probably thought these people were incredibly bold, rushing in without knowing anything.
Yu Yanbin still looked puzzled, and the other party seemed reluctant to talk about it.
Shao Jie seemed very interested in these things and slowly walked over to Yu Yanbin's side.
Li Xiao also pulled Tian Tian over, intending to listen as well.
The remaining few people were also quite interested and strolled over, and that's how the two groups came together.
The man in the lead saw a group of people gathering around, but he didn't say anything. The two groups just stood together, almost forming a circle.
The only difference was their expressions and postures.
On one side, there was indifference and aloofness; on the other, there was enthusiasm.
"Hey, you guys don't know these things. All I can tell you is that you can't stay here. You can decide for yourselves what to do next."
Yu Yanbin cursed inwardly, thinking how tight-lipped he was, not letting his mouth shut at all.
It's a pity it's not like before, when you could make connections by offering a cigarette. Now there's nothing, and you can't even try to build relationships.
Standing at the back, Li Xiao realized what was going on and, after searching through her own space, found the answer.
He took out a package and handed it to Cheng Shaolin, who was standing next to him.
Cheng Shaolin felt something being shoved into his hand. He looked down and saw it was a pack of cigarettes that had been wiped open, a soft pack of Zhonghua brand. Heh.
Cheng Shaolin smiled and said, "That's a good idea."
He held a cigarette in his hand and walked forward.
"Hey, buddy." He said, taking out a cigarette and offering it to her.
The man opposite saw another handsome man greeting him, glanced at him, and then stood firm.
Wow, I never expected to find something this good.
His joy was palpable.
I didn't want to appear too concerned, but my hand was genuinely at ease, and I quickly and honestly took it.
"Hey, hey, you're too kind." He tried to decline, but his hand quickly held a cigarette between his fingers.
Yu Yanbin crossed his arms and watched with a light laugh as Cheng Shaolin offered cigarettes to the group opposite him.
Cheng Shaolin then took out the lighter that Li Xiao had given him from his pocket and lit a cigarette for the man in the lead opposite him.
Others who had taken the cigarettes also came forward to light them.
Finally, he handed one to Yu Yanbin, and then put one in his mouth himself; the box was now empty.
The effect of these cigarettes is obvious.
The man took a deep drag, exhaling a smoke ring. Looking at the cigarette in his hand, he said with a sigh, "I didn't expect you guys had such good stuff. You should have said so earlier."
Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin exchanged a subtle glance, then chuckled for a second before quickly suppressing their laughter, as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, not at all. These things are hard to find now. It wasn't this troublesome before," Cheng Shaolin said with a troubled expression, taking a drag of his cigarette.
The man opposite sighed, "Yeah, you bet. Everything's so difficult these days, it's really frustrating."
Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin joined in, and he groaned too, even frowning in discomfort.
Now, the mere presence of a cigarette seems to have bridged the gap between the two groups, prompting them to hesitantly pour out their hearts to each other.
They're practically inseparable now, like brothers.
Seeing that things were getting better, Cheng Shaolin gave Yu Yanbin a look.
Yu Yanbin took a deep breath and asked with a smile, "Hey, big brother, thank you for your trouble, making this special trip."
Appropriately lowering one's status indeed made the other party very satisfied.
"Hey, not at all. This is just part of the assigned task..." Before he could finish speaking, the man realized he had let something slip and quickly stopped himself from saying anything more.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yanbin and Cheng Shaolin were both stunned. A mission?
It seems there's still a problem inside.
The two immediately understood, but didn't ask any further questions. They pretended they hadn't heard anything, and the other person didn't say anything either.
The man was relieved to see that neither of them asked any questions, nor did their expressions change at all.
The man then changed the subject, "It's because nobody dares to come here. If there's any big commotion, someone will still come to check."
"Oh, brother, what do you mean by that? Is there some other explanation here?"
Cheng Shaolin handed the man another cigarette. This was the same cigarette Li Xiao had just given away after seeing them distribute most of the pack. The matter wasn't even resolved yet, and now he was giving him another pack.
The man raised an eyebrow, giving Cheng Shaolin and his group a very high opinion of their abilities.
These cigarettes are now a rare commodity; not just anyone can afford to smoke them.
Only the base's high-ranking officials and those large groups of superhumans are qualified to enjoy that privilege.
These teams are very rare to see, and even if they find supplies while searching, they won't be willing to take them.
This is a rare find, and it can play a much greater role.
Who would still be willing to smoke one?
I didn't expect these people to be willing to take it out today, and even distribute it to everyone.
This approach seemed a bit foolish to him. But since it was distributed to them, it can only be described as their good fortune.
I met a bunch of idiots.
If Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin found out about this, this person would probably be beaten to death.
The problem is that these are just thoughts in a man's mind, but he won't say them out loud.
If Li Xiao found out, she would just roll her eyes at him.
Look at these country bumpkins, so ignorant and unsophisticated. Is this what they call a rare sight?
What's even more eye-catching? I'm afraid it might cause a heart attack.
Li Xiao had some cigarettes and alcohol, but she really didn't care.
She started by stockpiling some, and later found a warehouse in the supermarket, so she really didn't need any more.
Even at the very beginning, you could find quite a few food stalls on that food street.
Because no one had been drawing from it, she had forgotten about it.
