The man's pupils shrank, and he quickly waved his hands. "Don't hurt me! How could I dare go? I'd rather die than go! I'm just asking, can we trade with them? It seems like they don't have many women in their team. Can we use the women in the base to trade for oil?"
"Those guys? We've ruined them, and they still want us? Don't make them angry. Forget it."
A man with a gloomy face said after a moment of silence, "It's not impossible."
The fierce bearded man was surprised, "What? You really want to give those junk to them?"
The man with a gloomy face said, "Of course not. We don't have anything good to show for it. Hope Base has quite a few, right? Let's go grab some."
The short man who came up with the idea was delighted. "Brother Sheng, this is a great idea! The base leader over there is like a fool. He doesn't even know how to play with women. This is a good opportunity for us."
The bearded man also thought this was a good idea. "Let's go back to the base and discuss it."
The three men went back in high spirits, and on the way they were still feeling proud of their ideas, and missed the direction the car was heading.
"Boss, the people from Fire Dragon Base have gone back. Are they planning something bad again?" The reconnaissance members of Hope Base looked at the direction the three men left.
"Ignore them and stay alert. Did they receive the message I asked you to send back?"
"It has been passed on. Our people at the base are making preparations."
"Boss, why are they driving so many vehicles to our base? Are they hiding weapons in the cars? They have missiles!"
"How would I know? We just need to pass the news up, and the people above will make the decision on the rest."
Hope Base.
"Qu Tian, An Jingzhi has brought people here to trade for grain. Come with me to entertain them. They have quite a few people this time." Qi Hengzhong hadn't expected that he had underestimated the enemy's strength. They had sent a convoy of tanks for a single grain trade. And there must be more tanks in the base, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to send them out directly.
When Qi Hengzhong thought of the things piled up in the back of the pickup trucks reported by the investigation members, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Captain, are they here so soon?" Qu Tian wondered, thinking it would take another two weeks for them to return. Who knew they'd be back in less than ten days? Could their base be nearby?
Impossible! Where is the large base nearby?
Qu Tian stayed at the base, busy using his points to buy food, improve his family's situation, and even take his wife to see a doctor. He had no idea that a "large base" had appeared nearby.
"Let's go and see." Qi Hengzhong made two plans. If the enemy came to trade grain, that would be the best. If they were using the grain trade as a pretext to destroy their base, Qi Hengzhong was not a pushover. He secretly ordered his men to take out all the trump cards stored in the safe and prepare them.
The convoy moved along the road, kicking up clouds of yellow sand. From a distance, the tanks at the head looked like steel monsters hidden in the sand.
If Qi Hengzhong hadn't warned them in advance, the Hope Base would have been in turmoil because of this scene. Even so, it still caused a brief commotion.
"Where did this convoy come from?"
"Oh my God! Why do they have so many weapons?"
"Are they coming to attack our base?"
"It's definitely not. If it were, wouldn't our leader tell us to be on guard?"
What they didn't know was that Qi Hengzhong had already asked people to be on guard, but not them.
An Jingzhi and his team stopped 500 meters from the main gate of Hope Base. An Jingzhi drove forward alone with the original 15 expedition members.
The car stopped at the door, and An Jingzhi and the others opened the door and got out one by one. This time they were only wearing combat uniforms. Except for An Jingzhi who had a fair complexion, the others all had dark complexions and firm eyes.
Although he had only met them once, and they were fully armed, Qi Hengzhong recognized them immediately, especially the leaders An Jingzhi and Luo Sen.
He recognized the two men just by their facial features beneath the masks of their protective suits.
Seeing that the group's convoy didn't drive over all at once, but was led by a few people, Qi Heng's worries eased a little. He knew that the other party was afraid of misunderstanding and was obviously coming with sincerity. He walked towards them enthusiastically, "Hahaha, distinguished guests, welcome!"
An Jingzhi extended his hand and shook it with the other party. "Chief Qi."
"Mr. An. You guys came really quickly."
"Isn't this an urgent matter? The pickup trucks behind are full of the food you need. You can send someone to check first. I think you know how precious food is in the apocalypse. These troops are here to protect the food. I hope this won't cause any misunderstanding, Chief Qi."
"No, no." Qi Hengzhong smiled and waved his hand to ask someone to check the convoy in front.
The two men chatted at the city gate, with Qu Tian following beside Qi Hengzhong. The overwhelming army line left him speechless, and he still hadn't recovered from the shock. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't have guessed that An Jingzhi had such a powerful background! Even this food delivery team was so outrageous? Wouldn't this team, if sent out, just sweep through the surrounding bases?
The person who went to check the grain came back excitedly, "Report to the Chief! The truck is full of grain! It's all white rice! It's different from what we grow! There's also a truck of fruit!" The grain grown after the apocalypse has a bitter taste, and the overall color is a bit reddish.
Forget about fruit! We don’t even have enough food to grow, so how can we have time to grow fruit?
"Okay! Okay!" Qi Heng put aside his worries. If these people were really here to attack their base, they wouldn't need to bring any food. Not to mention that they actually brought fruit! That was something valuable that couldn't even be exchanged for food!
"Mr. An! Everyone! On behalf of all the residents of Hope Base, I would like to thank you!" The gray-haired Qi Hengzhong bowed deeply to An Jingzhi and others.
Rosen and the others felt a little complicated. Just a little food and fruit made the old man so grateful to them. Moreover, he exchanged them for high-tech technical information, so it was not for free.
An Jingzhi and the others have already achieved this level. Qi Hengzhong feels that if he still guards against them, he might anger them.
He'd seen the rice before; it was all polished rice! Sweet, sweet rice from before the apocalypse. The fruit was apples, big, red apples overflowing with sweetness.
The fact that the other party can provide such abundant supplies is enough to prove that they have the ability to destroy the Hope Base.
