In the space, Yu Bai was about to leave.
The supplies that Han Yi had taken away were piled back into place in the same abrupt manner the next moment, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
Yu Bai was startled, and then he had a strong sense of foreboding.
There is only one possibility that could make Han Yi recall and release the supplies in such a hurry - he is in big trouble!
Could it be... that we encountered a massive zombie horde?
In her opinion, Han Yi would only act like this in a fierce battle to protect supplies from being affected.
After all, those supplies are the foundation of survival for his team.
Yu Bai's mind raced, and he almost subconsciously tried to contact Han Yi.
But she immediately suppressed the impulse.
If Han Yi was in the middle of a battle, doing this would only disturb him, distract his attention, and might even harm him.
Yu Bai wanted to wait, but her truck had already been stuck in this remote area outside Beijing for more than an hour.
Although this place is rarely visited on weekdays, after the end of the world, no one can say whether anyone will pass by.
A long stay always attracts attention.
So, Yu Bai simply came out of the space first, started the car, and drove back to the county.
The truck bumped along the bumpy road, raising clouds of dust.
Yu Bai's mind was mostly immersed in the space. As long as there was any slight movement in the space, she would be able to sense it immediately.
However, there was no trouble along the way.
Until the familiar supermarket sign came into view, the space was still quiet and no message came from Han Yi.
Yu Bai slowly parked the truck in front of the supermarket and was about to turn off the engine when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
A tall figure leaned against an SUV next to the supermarket, his posture relaxed, which was out of tune with the bleakness of the apocalyptic surroundings.
Yu Bai's foot paused as he stepped on the brake, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Zhou?
How come he is here?
Shouldn't he have left with Grandpa Jiang and the others?
Compared to Yu Bai's surprise, Jiang Zhou seemed much calmer.
He just nodded slightly when he saw Yu Bai approaching, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Yu Bai stopped the truck and jumped out, feeling even more confused.
"Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence." She spoke first, her tone a little tentative.
"Miss Yu, unfortunately, I was waiting for you." Jiang Zhou's voice was soft and firm.
"Wait for me?" Yu Bai was even more surprised, frowning slightly.
Jiang Zhou didn't answer directly, but pointed to his car and said, "How about we get in the car and talk."
Yu Bai thought for a moment, then returned the truck to Yu Nian and got into Jiang Zhou's car.
The SUV drove smoothly out of the county town and headed towards Lijia Village. The car was silent for a moment before Jiang Zhou slowly spoke.
"Miss Yu, I apologize for coming here in such a presumptuous manner."
"Mr. Jiang, you're too polite." Yu Bai looked at the rapidly receding scene outside the window, and the uneasiness in his heart caused by Han Yi was slightly suppressed. "I thought you had already gone back."
Jiang Zhou looked ahead, his tone calm and composed, "Grandpa and Grandma reunited with Professor Li's old friend, and they had a lot to talk about, so they decided to stay a few more days."
I see.
Yu Bai understood that Professor Li Baizhong was an authority in the field of agriculture, so it was normal for the two elders of the Jiang family to want to know more about him.
"As for me," Jiang Zhou paused, then glanced sideways at Yu Bai, his deep eyes filled with seriousness and scrutiny, "I want to formally discuss cooperation with Miss Yu."
The light in the carriage was a little dim, and the crisp pine scent from Jiang Zhou lingered faintly at Yu Bai's nose.
cooperate?
Yu Bai was a little embarrassed for a moment.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Jiang Zhou, or that she feels the Jiang family’s olive branch isn’t attractive enough.
On the contrary, if she could cooperate with a behemoth like the Jiang family, it would undoubtedly be a timely help to her and save her countless troubles.
However... her biggest trump card at the moment, those mutated poultry and crops that have been improved by the spiritual spring water of the space and contain faint spiritual energy, are still in their infancy.
The chicken farm has just been set up, and the mutant seeds have only been sown recently, so everything is still in its infancy.
Talking about cooperation now is like drawing pie in the sky to appease hunger. It is too early.
No matter what, she has to wait until her chicken farm has grown to a certain scale, the first batch of mutant crops have matured, and there is real output before she can put the matter on the negotiation table with more confidence.
Yu Bai naturally couldn't tell Jiang Zhou all these secrets.
She pondered for a moment, then spoke carefully: "I appreciate Mr. Jiang's kindness, but..."
She paused, her tone apologetic.
"Some of my current operations... well, the chicken farm and some crop plantings are not fully up and running yet. I'm afraid it's too early to talk about cooperation now."
She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Zhou, her eyes frank: "Why don't we wait until everything is stable, and then we can talk in detail, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhou only raised his eyebrows slightly, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips, as if he had already expected her words.
"Miss Yu, don't think too much."
His slender fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, making a steady thumping sound.
"In my opinion, time waits for no one. The sooner the better, the faster the better."
He tilted his head, his deep eyes shone surprisingly brightly in the dim light, as if he could see through everything.
"Miss Yu is able to create crystal core rings and incense sticks that contain unique energies. I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult for you to create vegetables and grains that also possess special properties, right?"
