Having finished the introduction, Zhao Kezao nodded with great satisfaction.
"one person?"
"Easy moving?"
The ordinary scavengers in Ma Yuanbai's group were completely bewildered after hearing this.
They actually said that one person could easily move such a heavy thing...
Clearly, the "ordinary people" in Master Zhao's eyes refer to ordinary awakened individuals, which is a completely different concept from them, who are truly ordinary people without any special abilities.
As everyone gathered around to watch, Zhao Kezao summoned the patrolmen and pointed to several items in front of Ma Yuanbai.
"This, this, and these, including this tree, all of them, move them to the warehouse."
Then, he handed a note to the patrolman next to him.
"Then gather all these things together, pack them up, and send them over."
"yes!"
The two patrolmen quickly picked up the items, carried the large tree, and hurried back inside the high wall.
The note contained the supplies that Ma Yuanbai and Zhao Kezhao had agreed upon.
Sun Hao, standing to the side, looked at the portable house with curiosity and couldn't help but say:
"2x2 is too small, otherwise I would like one too."
Zhao Kezao pursed his lips after hearing this, but remained silent, thinking to himself:
I have a bigger one too, but I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to move it.
However, he didn't argue with the young man; he simply closed his eyes to rest.
Soon, two patrolmen returned carrying two boxes of supplies.
Zhao Kezao then opened his eyes and said to Ma Yuanbai:
"Everything is here, please check it."
Ma Yuanbai opened the supply box, glanced at it briefly, and nodded in confirmation.
"no problem."
Because everything he needs most is inside.
With the transaction successfully completed, Ma Yuanbai nodded politely to Zhao Kezao, his tone revealing a sincere gratitude:
"Thank you so much, Master Zhao. These supplies are extremely important to us."
Ma Yuanbai could clearly sense that Master Zhao Kezao seemed to be intentionally helping him and deliberately facilitating this deal, rather than actually needing the things he had to provide.
Zhao Kezao smiled slightly and suddenly said something that seemed completely unexpected:
"It's nothing, because this might be the last time I do a deal with someone."
After saying that, Zhao Kezao turned and left with his bodyguards and patrolmen.
Ma Yuanbai stood there, seemingly completely oblivious to the deeper meaning behind Master Zhao's words.
When he came to his senses again, Master Zhao was already back inside the high walls.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Ma Yuanbai decided to stop dwelling on the problem.
He walked over, opened the supply crate, took out an item, and then turned to his teammates behind him, saying:
"Alright, stop standing there, let's move the supplies back."
The teammates quickly stepped forward and carried the supply box back.
Ma Yuanbai walked towards Li Yu and the others with that thing in his hand.
Looking at the portable house surrounded by onlookers, Ma Yuanbai also shared his opinion:
"The item is nice, but it's a bit small."
“Look, great minds think alike.” Sun Hao hurriedly spread his hands, his point of view finally seemed to have been accepted.
Ma Yuanbai stepped forward and lifted the portable house with force, and indeed felt that it was quite heavy.
He handed the portable house to Li Yu and said, "Here's the portable house. My promise is now fulfilled."
Li Yu nodded and easily took the portable house. With his current physical condition, carrying the house was no problem at all.
Although the portable house is small, Li Yu is still quite satisfied.
After all, all he wanted was a house to shelter him from the wind and rain, so that he and Fu Xiyao wouldn't have to sleep in an outdoor awning and suffer from the wind and rain.
At this moment, Ma Yuanbai suddenly threw the thing he had been holding to Li Yu.
"Take it."
Li Yu stretched out her left hand, grabbed it, and examined the object in her hand closely. It was a long, tube-shaped item.
"For me?" Li Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.
This thing looks like it's made of plastic; he's never seen anything like it before.
"This is a life straw," Ma Yuanbai explained with a smile, as if he knew it was Li Yu's first time seeing it.
"What is a life straw?" Zhao Xiong asked curiously from the side.
Ma Yuanbai continued, "This is a portable water filtration device that can filter out bacteria, parasites, and other impurities from the water, allowing you to drink rainwater directly."
"Drink rainwater?" Sun Hao asked incredulously.
Zhao Xiong's eyes widened in surprise:
"Wow, that's amazing! This thing can really filter out all the dirt?"
"That's right."
Ma Yuanbai nodded and said confidently:
"The Life Straw has an excellent filtration effect. Whether it is river water, lake water or rainwater, it can become safe to drink after passing through the straw."
Upon hearing this, Li Yu hesitated slightly.
Although he also had a device that could produce water, it could only produce a very small amount of water.
He and Fu Xiyao barely had enough water, and they even had to rely on the powerful physique of awakened beings to reduce their need for water.
This life straw was indeed convenient and useful for him and Fu Xiyao.
With that in mind, Li Yu decided to accept the straw.
Thanks.
Li Yu gave Ma Yuanbai a look, then put the life-sustaining straw into the raincoat.
Seeing that Li Yu had accepted the life-giving straw he offered, Ma Yuanbai smiled mysteriously.
It seems like I can ask Li Yu for help again next time, since there aren't many opportunities to get Li Yu's gratitude.
Li Yu did not attempt to open the house directly, since there were other shelters and people around besides Ma Yuanbai and his group.
