Chapter 328: Big Appetite

This building was a small grocery store, and there were still some supplies on the shelves.

Li Qixuan walked to the back room and checked the second floor. When he saw the supplies stored there, he waved his hand and stored everything into one of his storage rings.

When he was done, he went to check the windows and doors. Seeing that everything was well sealed, he returned to the first floor and locked the windows and doors.

Seeing that everyone was standing there, he said, "Do whatever you want. Just don’t bother me."

"Okay," one of the teachers replied with a nod.

Li Qixuan walked to the counter and sat in the chair. After he closed his eyes, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Since the children had only eaten one meal in the morning, the teachers gathered some food and water from the shelves and divided them. After they filled their stomachs, everyone huddled together and took a nap.

While they had been able to sleep on the bus, their nerves were tense and no one had been able to rest. Now that they had finally found a safe place, they finally felt the fatigue and soon fell asleep.

Meanwhile, at Lin’an City’s base, the children had just finished their training and were walking back to the team’s residence. When they arrived, they saw that Xun Che, Wei Ying, and Wen Hanli were also present.

Seeing them, the children nodded and greeted them. "Captain Xun, Captain Wei, Vice-Captain Wen," the children said in unison.

They had just started their training, and so far, they had only been running and doing physical exercises to strengthen their bodies. But the training was already showing results as they were no longer as timid and weak as before.

Xun Che waved at them and asked, "How’s the training?"

"It’s bearable," Fu Leizhen replied.

Hearing this, Xun Che nodded and said, "That’s good. You all must be tired, go have a rest first."

The children understood that the adults had something important to discuss. So, they didn’t stay for long and went to shower before returning to their rooms to rest.

After the children left, Gu Shaoze said, "Captain Xun, you came to visit us today. Is there something you need from me or my team?"

Xun Che nodded and replied, "There is indeed something I need from you and your girlfriend."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoze raised his eyebrows and said, "Captain Xun, feel free to speak your mind."

"I received a report that you and your girlfriend found grains after returning from Yunshan City. I want to ask if it’s possible for you to share the information about the situation in Yunshan and where you found the grains."

Gu Shaoze looked at him for a moment before replying, "Captain Xun, even if we did find the grains, we have to inform our captain first and let him make the decision."

"I already contacted your captain, and he told me to discuss the matter directly with you," Xun Che said.

Hearing this, Gu Shaoze lowered his eyes in thought before saying, "Captain Xun, it’s not impossible for me to share the information. But, what benefit could you give me? You don’t expect me to hand over the information for free, do you?"

Xun Che smiled and said, "Comrade Gu, you can tell me your conditions."

Gu Shaoze tapped his fingers on the armrest as he thought. After a while, he said, "Captain Xun, as a member of the base, it’s only natural for me to contribute. So, I won’t demand too much."

Raising five fingers, he added, "I will sell this information to you for this much."

Seeing the gesture, Wei Ying said, "Comrade Gu, you are really generous. For such important information, you are only asking for 500 crystal cores?"

The moment he heard this, Gu Shaoze chuckled and shook his head as he said, "Captain Wei, as you said, this is important information. I’m sure Captain Xun wouldn’t be so stingy as to only pay 500 crystal cores for it."

Hearing this, Xun Che smiled and asked, "Comrade Gu, are you asking for 5,000 crystals?"

Snapping his fingers, Gu Shaoze said with a smile, "It’s indeed easy to talk to smart people."

Wei Ying took a sharp breath at the price. His team often went out to clear zombies and expand the base’s territory, so he knew how hard it was to obtain crystal cores.

He never expected Gu Shaoze to have such a big appetite. Once he opened his mouth, he asked for 5,000!

While they were still thinking, Gu Shaoze sipped his tea and waited for his answer calmly. He was sure that Xun Che would agree to pay. After all, what the base needed most right now was supplies.

If they couldn’t find more, they wouldn’t be able to complete the wall construction or pay salaries. That would eventually lead to riots. And as he expected, Xun Che agreed not long after.

"Comrade Gu, I will have my men deliver the crystals. But can you tell me how much grain you found first?" he asked.

Gu Shaoze nodded and replied, "Five kilometers from Yunshan City’s border, there are twelve large granary locations. Each location has around fifty to eighty granaries."

"As for the amount of grain stored, I can’t give you an exact number. But we checked the situation, and most of the granaries are nearly full."

Hearing this, Xun Che and Wen Hanli were delighted, while Wei Ying was stunned.

If what Gu Shaoze said was true, then the price for this information was not expensive at all. If the Phantom team had claimed the grain themselves, they could easily sell the supplies and earn far more than 5,000 crystal cores.

"Comrade Gu, can you draw the granaries’ location for me?" Xun Che asked.

"Captain Xun, since you are buying this information from me, I will personally show you the way," Gu Shaoze replied.

As soon as he heard this, Xun Che slapped his thigh and said, "Wonderful!"
