Time passed by little by little, and there was no news from the people sent by the military. Commander Yang closed his eyes tightly. They had already lost a lot of people from Chen Wan. If they continued like this, it would only be a bottomless pit. But if they just let it go, Commander Yang was worried about having such an unstable factor around him.
Qingji City was originally under his control. Commander Yang didn't want to cause a riot because of Chen Wan and his men, and he couldn't eliminate Chen Wan and his men. If he could give them some supplies for free in exchange for letting Chen Wan and his men leave Qingji City on their own initiative, it would be a solution. However, the deaths of those who had gone there before were a bit unfair.
But Commander Yang couldn't care less about all these things now. Everything still had to be based on his own interests. No one in Qingji City could challenge his authority. After figuring this out, he planned to let his personal guards discuss the conditions for leaving with Chen Wan and the others tomorrow morning.
Chen Wan and her team did not let their guard down after eliminating Major General Sun and his group. They still followed Chen Wan's previous schedule and kept watch in pairs. She and Jiang Yanxin were on the shift from 0:00 to 3:00, so she went to take the little one to wash and prepare for rest.
Zizi was very tired all day. She was not physically tired, but she had consumed too much mental energy. Therefore, she was very sleepy. When Chen Wan washed her face, the little girl could not even open her eyes.
Chen Wan saw that the baby was adorable and kissed the baby's little face. Then she held the little one in her arms and let her have a good sleep.
The baby was so sleepy that he didn't even notice that his mommy had put him in the crib and he fell asleep. Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin took the time to rest, as they would be in danger as long as the RV was not upgraded successfully.
When Chen Wan and the others took over the night watch from Qin Ke and the others, it started to drizzle outside again. Half an hour later, the drizzle turned into heavy rain, and there was no sign of the rain stopping. Chen Wan looked at the rain outside and began to worry again.
Fortunately, the military did not send any more people that night, but the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping until the early morning.
At around six o'clock in the morning, Chen Wan cut a large piece of pork into small pieces, took out two bags of sweet bean sauce, and made a large bowl of fried sauce.
They had porridge for dinner last night, and Chen Wan was really hungry now. After preparing the fried sauce, he started to cook noodles and served everyone a big bowl. After the little guy followed Jiang Yanxin to wash up, he also came out smelling the aroma of the fried sauce.
Chen Wan filled Zaizai's small bowl with noodles, poured a large spoonful of fried sauce with big pieces of meat on it, mixed the noodles for the little guy with chopsticks, and then handed it to Zaizai.
As soon as Zaizai saw the delicious food, she was no longer sleepy. Noodles with soybean paste was a new food for Zaizai. She was no longer sleepy after eating just two bites. The soybean paste was delicious and she liked it!
The little boy's little hands kept picking up noodles and big pieces of meat and stuffing them into his little mouth. The sides of his little mouth were covered with fried sauce, which looked very cute.
At around 7 o'clock, Zizi seemed to have noticed something and pulled Chen Wan to the front windshield. His little finger pointed to the street outside the community and said, "Mommy, it seems that the bad guys are coming again. This time there are 6 cars~"
The baby can count from 1 to 10, so this time he gave Chen Wan an accurate number. The rain outside gradually stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. Chen Wan looked into the distance with a frown on his face.
She first arranged for Jiang Wanning and the other two, who were not yet capable of fighting, to go upstairs to avoid being affected by any emergencies later. All the rest of the people were waiting for the arrival of those people. Unlike the previous times, this time the military drove the car directly into the community and stopped at a certain distance from Chen Wan and the others.
Chen Wan lowered the surrounding steel plates to make it easier to observe what tricks the military was playing this time.
The military vehicle over there had already called out to them through the loudspeaker: "Chen Wan, Commander Yang already knows everything you've done. Qingji City has no place for people like you who disobey orders. However, Commander Yang is kind and is willing to give you two truckloads of supplies in exchange for your departure. Otherwise, you will face continuous rounds of attacks."
Chen Wan sneered. He couldn't beat them, so he wanted to lure them away with items. However, they didn't want to stay in Qingji City in the first place. If the RV had been upgraded successfully, they would have left long ago.
Chen Wan picked up the RV's loudspeaker and shouted to the other side: "Okay, what supplies do you have? If you can satisfy us, we will leave after 12 noon. We mean what we say."
"A truck of instant noodles and compressed biscuits, and a truck of mutant fish meat. I'll have someone drive the truck over." The captain of the guards asked two soldiers to drive the truck loaded with supplies forward, and then the two soldiers quickly retreated.
Seeing them approaching, Chen Wan used the loudspeaker to speak to the other side, "We don't like being watched. We'll leave after noon. We're true to our word. Aren't there checkpoints set up around Qingji City? By then, you'll know we've left."
The captain of the personal guard thought about it. The big boss's instruction this time was to never cause any conflict. And thinking about the fate of the people who had fought with Chen Wan and the others in the previous few waves, the captain of the personal guard simply agreed to let Chen Wan and the others leave after noon.
Open statement.
"Okay, I'll keep those two trucks of supplies." After saying that, the captain of the guards drove the remaining four military vehicles with people on board slowly out of the community.
"Seeing that they can't win, they changed their tactics again. If we had known it would end like this, why did we send so many people here? These leaders really only care about their own lives." Chen Wan sighed, opened the door of the RV, and got out with Qin Ke to drive two cars loaded with supplies next to the RV.
Although they are called two trucks with supplies, they are actually not very big. They are just ordinary military vehicles. They should have been modified. There are only driver's seat and co-pilot seat. The back seats have been cleared out to store supplies. Although there are not many things, they are still practical. It's just that the mutant fish meat is easy to deteriorate here. Chen Wan and others first moved the mutant fish meat to the truck where the octopus was placed, and deal with these things after the RV is upgraded.
The captain of the personal guard also went back to report, informing Commander Yang that Chen Wan and the others had left after noon. Commander Yang then instructed him to alert all checkpoints in Qingji City and to report to him immediately if Chen Wan and the others left.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was 12 noon. Chen Wan also accurately received Yiyi's voice in his mind: "Congratulations on the RV successfully reaching level five."
As Yiyi's voice rang out, Chen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. They could finally drive away.
She asked Yiyi to check the benefits of the upgrade, and soon Yiyi's voice sounded in her mind again: "The RV is upgraded to level 5, and a robotic arm is awarded. The system scanning range is expanded to 120 meters. A new 15-square-meter room (with a bathroom) is added to the side of the second floor opposite Qin Ke and her room. The compressed space is upgraded to 150 square meters. The fuel and water tanks are upgraded to 22,400L. The host gains an ability upgrade. In addition, the RV can activate its aquatic form."
Chen Wan's heart suddenly settled down after hearing about the water form. It had been raining frequently recently, and the military was building ships, which made her have a bad suspicion in her heart. But after the RV had a water form, she could rest assured. At least they should not be drowned.
Chen Wan installed the last robotic arm of the RV, which meant that all four corners of the RV were equipped with robotic arms. She also added additional attribute points to the strength attribute. After that, Chen Wan planned to leave here first. Now that there was an extra 30 square meters of space in the compressed space, Chen Wan and the others began to move the supplies in the car outside.
The first thing is to move all the mutant meat into the compressed space. This time they moved the half truck of leopard mutants.
The pork, some mutant fish meat that the military had just provided, and the remaining half truck of mutant octopus meat that Chen Wan and the others had were all moved into the compressed space.
They also put the instant noodles and compressed biscuits provided by the military into the space, and loaded half of the rice and flour in Leopard's truck into the compressed space. After loading these things, the capacity of the compressed space was completely used up. Until now, Chen Wan and his team still had no place to put half a truck of rice and flour. They also searched the armored vehicle that Major General Yao and his team had driven over earlier, and found 10 light machine guns, 8 rifles, 20 pistols, two boxes of ammunition and 10 bulletproof vests.
Things like bulletproof vests are still useful, but these guns and ammunition are of no practical use to Chen Wan and the others at this stage, because there are already a lot of them stored in the compressed space, including the half truck of rice and flour that has to be pulled by a large truck, which is really a burden for them. Chen Wan thought that after leaving Qingji City, they would set up a stall near the checkpoint and exchange these useless things for crystal cores.
Chen Wan and his team placed the guns and ammunition they had found in the armored vehicle into the large truck that was half loaded with rice and flour. This way, they only had to tow one truck behind their RV, avoiding the burden of having too many trucks.
Yiyi absorbed the two trucks and two ordinary military vehicles that had been cleared into the system, and also absorbed four large armored vehicles into the system. Although the armored vehicles were not as big as trucks, their materials were finer. The materials used to make one armored vehicle could make three trucks.
After sorting these out, Chen Wan and Qin Ke tied the towing rope between the truck and the RV securely, and then the group drove out of Qingji City.
Forty minutes later, Chen Wan and his companions successfully arrived at a checkpoint in Qingji City. They slowly drove the car nearly a hundred meters and then stopped it on the side of the road.
Chen Wan found a large piece of white paper and wrote on it the words "selling rice, flour, guns, and ammunition". He also spread a bed sheet on an open space on the side of the road, and placed a light machine gun, a rifle, and a pistol on the bed sheet, and spread this piece of paper next to it to attract people.
Logically speaking, there are quite a few people coming and going here every day, so Chen Wan feels that their goods will not be unsalable.
Soon a small convoy drove over. There were five small cars and a minibus in the team. When they saw Chen Wan and her friends' stall, they slowly stopped the car.
The bearded leader asked, "What are the prices of those things and what can we buy them with?"
Chen Wan lowered the window of the passenger seat a little and said, "I
We only want crystal cores, let's see how many crystal cores you can produce."
There are two people with special abilities in Big Beard's team, so they have killed quite a few zombies, but they are really short of guns and ammunition. In the apocalypse, they not only have to fight zombies, but also have to guard against people, so guns are the best weapons for self-defense. There are only five guns in their team, two of which are hunting rifles loaded with gunpowder, so they are really short of guns.
"We have the crystal cores. How many guns and ammunitions do you have? Can you give us a discount if we want to take them all?" The bearded man thought for a while and asked.
"We want to sell a total of 10 light machine guns, 8 rifles, 20 pistols, and two boxes of ammunition. I will sell them to you if the number of crystal cores you offer is reasonable." Chen Wan replied.
The bearded man discussed with the woman beside him and said, "How about 1,000 level 1 zombie crystal cores?"
Chen Wan smiled and shook his head. "I don't need these things, but I'm not a sucker. Those two boxes of ammunition alone cost more than this. Uncle, if you don't want them, forget it. The price you mentioned is too outrageous."
Big Beard blushed a little after hearing what Chen Wan said. The fact that Chen Wan and his friends were able to get so many sought-after supplies and sell them showed that they were quite powerful. Therefore, Big Beard and his friends behaved themselves and did not have any bad thoughts.
Guns weren't like ordinary supplies. Most people wouldn't sell them. Going to the black market to buy them was too expensive. Finally, he came across one. The uncle gritted his teeth and raised the price: "How about this? 2,000 level 2 zombie cores plus 1,000 level 1 zombie cores, how about that?"
Chen Wan thought for a moment and then spoke again: "Uncle, give me some more. Guns are no different from other things. As long as there are bullets, they can be used forever. Give me some more and I'll sell them at a lower price."
The bearded man gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll give you 500 more level 2 zombie cores. No more. We also exchanged them for cores with other people using supplies."
"Okay, I'll sell it to you. You prepare the crystal core, and I'll prepare the guns and ammunition." Chen Wan said as he got out of the car with Qin Ke.
The uncle also had someone carry out two boxes. Chen Wan moved all the guns and ammunition down and asked Yiyi to check the quantity. After confirming that there was no problem, he moved the crystal core back to the RV.
Big Beard and his men checked the quality of the guns and looked delighted. They were all new guns, so they felt that the crystal cores they spent were worth it.
The bearded man smiled and said to Chen Wan, "Okay, it's a pleasure working with you. Your guns are all quite new, really good. I can say I've met an honorable person today."
"That's for sure. All the guns here are good." Chen Wan responded with a smile.
Big Beard and his men took their guns and drove into Qingji City, while Chen Wan altered the paper again, crossing out the guns and ammunition and changing it to selling rice and flour, and continued to wait for the next buyer.
Yiyi has already absorbed all the crystal cores in the two boxes into the system. As of now, Chen Wan and his team have a total of 9,741 level 2 zombie crystal cores and 8,123 level 1 zombie crystal cores.
Meanwhile, Commander Yang was informed of Chen Wan and his group's departure from Qingji City. The guards at the checkpoint said they hadn't gone far, but were setting up a stall to sell goods. Commander Yang instructed them to leave them alone, but to stop them immediately if they tried to enter Qingji City. He didn't want to see Chen Wan and his group in Qingji City again.
