Yu Bai weighed the heavy small cloth bag filled with crystal cores in his hand; it felt slightly cold.
She raised her eyes and looked at Han Yi: "What else do you need at the base? Just let me know."
Han Yi's gaze swept across the thousands of mountain bikes in the space, his eyes moved slightly, and then he went straight to the point.
"We need transportation."
He looked at Yu Bai with a serious expression.
"The more the better. Trucks and vehicles with good off-road capabilities are naturally the first choice, as they can carry more people and supplies."
"But in these apocalyptic times, we want anything that can move, whether it's a bicycle, a tricycle, or even an electric bike... as long as it can carry people or goods."
"The entire base needs to be relocated now. The four large trucks we have are simply not enough to carry all the items you sent, not to mention the hundreds of survivors still inside the base."
The lack of transportation capacity has become the biggest bottleneck at the moment.
When Yu Bai heard this, he immediately understood.
What Han Yi needs is a large and diversified transportation system.
This is not a small amount, and the types are diverse, involving cars, trucks, and even special vehicles. It seems that I need to plan the procurement channels carefully.
She hesitated for a moment, and did not immediately promise, but said frankly:
"I see. The demand is huge and there are many varieties. This will take some time to prepare. I'm afraid it can't be done that quickly."
Han Yi nodded in understanding and waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to feel too stressed.
"It doesn't matter. Migration doesn't happen overnight."
"We must first send out an elite reconnaissance team to thoroughly survey the surrounding area and find a truly safe, defensively advantageous, and suitable location for a new base for long-term development."
“It takes time and it takes luck.”
"After selecting a location, we still need to do preliminary cleanup and preparation before organizing a large-scale relocation. So, you have plenty of time to prepare slowly and there's no need to rush."
Han Yi seemed to remember something and continued:
"By the way, once the new base is selected, we will definitely have to carry out large-scale reinforcement and construction to turn it into a true fortress."
"So, if it's convenient, you can also keep an eye on various construction materials...such as steel bars, cement, red bricks, wood, and wire mesh in advance, and use as much as you can."
"Okay, I've taken note of all this."
Yu Bai nodded seriously and engraved these requirements in his mind one by one.
The two of them briefly explained a few details and precautions about the handover of materials, and then Han Yi went back.
As soon as Han Yi left, the space returned to silence.
Yu Bai looked at the time in his consciousness and estimated that the transaction time agreed upon with Fusu was approaching.
She thought about it and decided not to rush back to reality immediately, so as to avoid having to find an excuse to come back in just after going out.
She sat down and took out a stack of papers and a pen from the counter.
She began to carefully sort out the huge list of supplies that Han Yi had just mentioned.
The pen tip rustled on the paper, and each item was clearly listed.
Just as Yu Bai was immersed in his purchasing plan, outside the space, in the small courtyard of the Yu family's old house, dinner had already been set on the table.
There were several steaming home-cooked dishes on the dining table, and Zhou Fengxia was inviting Song Yan to eat.
Song Yan took a few bites, but her eyes kept glancing towards Yu Bai's closed door.
Seeing that she hadn't come out yet, he was worried about her previous "migraine" and put down his chopsticks with some worry. He said to Zhou Fengxia:
"Auntie, why hasn't Xiaobai come out yet? How about I go check on her and ask her to come out and eat something?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xia, who was sitting next to her, calmly reached out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork ribs for her.
He stopped her with a natural movement, a gentle smile on his face.
"Yanyan, sit down and eat."
"She needs a good sleep when she gets sick. She's probably just fallen asleep now, so let her rest for a while."
"She won't starve. I'll go call her later."
He cleverly changed the subject and looked at Song Yan with a serious expression:
"Let's eat first. It just so happens... didn't Mom just mention buying a house?"
"What do you think of the villa area in Yujing Hua Ting?"
Sure enough, as soon as the house was mentioned, Song Yan's curiosity and attention were immediately attracted.
In the space, Yu Bai finally waited for the dusty Fusu. It was the first time she saw Fusu in such a miserable state.
Fusu wiped the sweat from his forehead, panted slightly, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I'm late."
Yu Bai looked at him curiously.
"What's going on? You're..."
Fusu waved his hand, his voice a little hoarse.
"The Huns attacked, but they were repelled."
His voice was tired, but firm.
Yu Bai quickly took a bottle of mineral water and handed it over. Fusu took it and drank it down in one gulp before continuing his story.
"Since our Great Qin unified the six kingdoms, the Xiongnu have frequently invaded. That's why my father sent General Meng Tian to guard the border and build the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies."
Yu Bai had learned these things from history books, but after hearing Fusu tell them in person, he had a different understanding.
She felt closer to Daqin, so she hurriedly asked, "Are any soldiers injured? What is their current condition?"
Unexpectedly, Fusu grinned and said, "Nothing at all."
"How could it be?" Yu Bai asked in surprise. In the era of cold weapons, this was almost impossible.
"I used all the crystal cores you gave me last time. Hundreds of soldiers tempered with crystal cores wiped out the invading Huns in one fell swoop!" Fusu said proudly.
It’s like this!
Yu Bai was stunned and speechless for a moment. He could only digest this information silently.
Seeing her so shocked, Fusu took another big gulp of water to calm his breathing.
Before he could explain more details, Yu Bai was already moved. He opened the small cloth bag which was still warm, poured out most of the crystal cores inside and handed it to him.
He added: "This one is better than the previous ones."
Looking at his hands full of new crystal cores, Fusu's eyes flashed with joy. He solemnly bowed to Yu Bai to express his gratitude.
At this moment, what made him happier than obtaining these precious resources was the deep trust he had established with the person in front of him.
As for Yu Bai, she was actually happier than Fusu, because with these crystal cores, Daqin could further stabilize its territory and resist foreign enemies.
After all, what she hopes is that wherever the sun and the moon shine, it will be China!
