Chapter 452: Chapter 452: The Grace of the Immortal
The two Space Element Ability Users’ combined crystal core count in their spaces surprisingly totaled over 20,000 crystal cores.
Cai Jianbin suggested exchanging all these crystal cores for rice and flour since these easily preserved foods were not only cost-effective but also filled more people’s stomachs best.
“Food is good; food fills the belly the best,”
Auntie Zhang said, holding the flatbread she had just purchased.
Seeing no objections and continuing her calculations, Huang Yunxiang converted all those crystal cores into an equivalent amount of food for Su Jin to take out.
The hotel lobby was filled with the aroma of various foods at the moment, and Su Jin even sold some chili sauce that her family had made while idle in their space, which many people enjoyed dipping their flatbreads into.
“Girl, where did you get all this food from? How do you still have food now?”
Someone couldn’t help but ask.
Having already collected the crystal cores and remaining supplies, Su Jin responded confidently with the preconceived reason upon being asked.
As everyone ate and nodded, it turned out that these people had owned a grain and oil market before the Apocalypse and had collected quite a few supplies on their journey. They were worried about the food spoiling before they could finish it, so they decided to exchange it for crystal cores.
Lu Hao learned quite a bit about the A city base from chatting with these people.
Because of Mutated Plants and the requirement to pay a portion of their collected resources when re-entering the city from the outside, the number of Survivors inside the base was not high.
Many capable Survivors had fled, seeking survival in more remote places like them. Although there were Zombies outside, they didn’t want to lose a share of their gathered supplies every time.
“Are there many teams like yours in A city?”
Lu Hao asked.
“A lot, maybe not thousands, but there are certainly hundreds,” Qi Liangliang said while finishing his last flatbread. “That’s why I said you don’t need to go into that base. You never know how those so-called managers might backstab you.”
“Yeah, and the people left in the base are basically those without many crystal cores, those muddling along day by day,” Cai Jianbin added, a hint of disdain in his voice. Anyone with some capability had gone to find a reliable team to join, and with the sporadic appearance of Mutated Plants inside, it wasn’t much safer than outside the base.
Listening to everyone’s back and forth, Su Jin and her family began to ponder. They hadn’t expected A city to be in such a state. If the people were all scattered, it would be difficult for them to sell food.
“Are you familiar with the locations where these teams are distributed?” Lu Hao inquired.
“We don’t know all of them, but we should know at least half, as everyone picks the most remote corners, and there is a pattern to it,” Qi Liangliang replied, wondering if these people wanted them to guide the way.
If there was a benefit to be had, guiding wouldn’t be a problem.
However, Lu Hao’s intention wasn’t just about guiding; he actually wanted Cai Jianbin and his group to spread the word that they were selling food in A city. For every 10,000 crystal cores sold, they would receive ten kilograms of food as commission!
!!!
This stunned everyone present; ten kilograms of food?!
This deal was worthwhile!
In the past, to find even a little food to stave off hunger, they had to travel great distances each day and sacrifice many people.
And now, all they needed to do was to share this news and they could have such an abundance of food.
“There’s a condition,”
