Chapter 187: Unable to Keep a Low Profile (23)
Fifteen boxes of canned goods were a windfall for them. After getting on the bus, Ling Jiang said excitedly, "I hope there will be more 'what ifs' along the way."
What Ling Jiang said was really right. Right next to this black-hearted workshop, there was actually a mineral water factory. It was a very small and informal children's snack workshop with non-compliant brands, non-compliant sanitary environment, non-compliant chocolate and non-compliant biscuits. Add them together and you have the chocolate biscuits.
Lan Jin really didn't believe this thing was sold to children. She had never seen this brand before, and the food safety was completely unguaranteed. "I don't think it's edible."
But this was just Lan Jin's opinion. In order to prove that it was edible, Lao Gao opened the package on the spot and stuffed the snack into his mouth.
The taste, of course, wasn't entirely satisfactory, a combination of cheap biscuits and chocolate. But he said, "This stuff definitely can't be sold in big supermarkets. It should be sold in small shops in the countryside. Things like Lei Bi and Coke are sold there, right? But I ate it and it was delicious. If I wasn't sure, I could sell it later. We don't like it because Sister Lan has a lot of supplies. If we didn't have those things, these snacks would still be good enough to keep us from starving."
Lao Gao glanced at them and sighed, "Don't ask for too much. Living is already hard enough."
But they really weren't at the point of lowering their expectations. "Don't be so pathetic. You were the one who made the inventory in the space. It's more than enough for us to eat. There's really no need for this."
But no matter what, they didn't dare to eat the supplies, and they certainly couldn't refuse them. In the end, Lan Jin put all the 7 boxes of biscuits they found into the space.
It only took them half a day to find these two small workshops. In the next half day, they found two more factory buildings one after another. However, they were not as lucky as in the morning. They did not find any supplies and had to leave disappointed.
After sleeping in the space for a night, they continued on their way to their next destination.
After setting off again, they didn't see any factories along the way, and the office building was surrounded by residential areas. The four of them were too lazy to even get in the car, and they arrived in H City in just one day.
The distance between J City and H City is naturally quite far. In the past, it would have been impossible to reach there in one day. However, due to the lack of traffic lights and the fact that they were on ice, they took shortcuts all the way and actually arrived in H City in one day.
But the base would naturally not be built in the city center, but the base in H City was built on a mountain, which really surprised them.
Seeing that Lao Gao used his special powers to force the other party to tell him the information, the three of them really had no way not to believe it.
Huang Jinghe asked, "It must be due to the terrain. H City is surrounded by mountains on three sides. If we can't build on the mountains, we can only build on the ice, so it seems to make sense."
That's true. Besides, the mountain is high. No matter how heavy the rain is, it can't flood the mountain.
However, because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is difficult for residents who did not go to the base with the car to go to the base even if they want to do so now.
But it would be much more convenient if you had a car. The man being threatened said, "If you want to drive, you can actually get there in less than half a day."
Because the ice surface raised the ground, they did not need to drive around the mountain even if they drove. Therefore, the mountain road that originally took a whole day to drive around could now be driven directly to the base in only one or two hours.
Then Lao Gao handed the man a pack of non-compliant chocolate biscuits and left.
…
The three of them drove towards the base in the direction the man pointed.
After driving for three hours, the four of them actually saw a particularly tall protective wall in the distance. The outer edge of the protective wall was still circular in shape. Lan Jin asked curiously, "Are all the protective walls at the base built according to this standard? Why are they all circular?"
However, although it is round, the terrain on the mountain where it is built is really high. Not far from the base, Lao Gao's car actually drove directly across the ice and onto land that he had not touched for a long time.
Seeing the land, Lao Gao didn't want to drive anymore. "Let's get off and walk up. It's not far anyway. I haven't stood on the soil for a long time. I want to walk on it."
"OK."
Seeing that no one objected, Lao Gao drove the car to a more secluded place, and then the four of them and the car were put into Lan Jin's space.
Lan Jin asked, "After we go out, do we need to exchange our supplies for contribution points? Then we can't just carry one bag. It will be difficult to take things out that way."
Huang Jinghe said, "Each of us can carry one, but what can we exchange for it?"
Lao Gao pointed at the sausages, canned food, and the non-compliant snacks and said, "I've eaten them. It's been a few days. They're fine. If you don't dare to eat them, you can exchange them. Each of you can carry some and exchange them for contribution points. The canned food should be quite valuable."
"We can't just replace everything with the same thing." Huang Jinghe asked in confusion. If we just replaced everything with the same thing, it would be obvious that there was something wrong.
Lao Gao didn't take it seriously. "No problem. We won't be staying long. We can just change them when we leave. But we need to buy something. I think we should go to the shopping mall first. After confirming that there are weapons, we can change them and then go upstairs to buy them. Besides, it's right for someone to come up with these things at this time to attract attention."
If they don't want to buy anything, they can just keep a low profile like they did in the J City base, but if they want to buy something, then the four of them will not be able to keep a low profile in H City.
But Lan Jin stuffed the bag full of canned food, sausages and the non-compliant biscuits, but still couldn't get everything in.
Seeing how hard she was trying to cram it in, Ling Jiang said speechlessly, "You can save some for the next base. There's no need to cram it in so hard."
Lan Jin smiled and said, "If the next base is gone, I will exchange it for gold. I have obtained all the gold in the mall, so I can exchange it for anything."
They knew that gold was sold in the mall, and they also knew that Lan Jin had brought it here, but to have it said so openly, they felt a little uncomfortable and a little hard to accept. "Hey, how can people be so different?"
Lan Jin just smiled without saying anything. After the four of them filled their backpacks and left the space, they finally stood on the land they had not seen for a long time.
Of course, I still brought the set of skating equipment with me, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to walk such a long distance in a short time relying on my legs.
As they climbed the mountain, Lao Gao looked down for a while and said, "This soil must have been processed."
