Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 395 - Monopoly Business
Chapter 395: Chapter 395 Monopoly Business
Chapter 395 -395 Monopoly Business
Outside the Space, Xing Taian and the villagers were digging up Crystal Cores, and no one would put the Crystal Cores into their own pockets.
Because even if they took these Crystal Cores, they would be of no use, they would conscientiously hand them over, perhaps Captain Xing could help them exchange some food at the base. Those streets leading to the base were far too dangerous, they had tried before to exchange food at the base, but without exception, had suffered heavy losses.
Even the Mutated Crystal Nuclei they dug up, none of the villagers wanted them, they unanimously believed that if they could enhance Captain Xing’s strength, perhaps there would be fewer casualties each time Captain Xing and his men fought.
Yingjie found the farmland again, and he discovered that it was planted under a rock ledge. As he was about to take a closer look, a bolt of thunder suddenly struck the Earth at his feet.
“Who are you? Don’t even think about stealing the vegetables my grandfather planted!”
A fierce-looking little boy came out, although he looked robust, he was very skinny, which made his head look big in comparison to his body.
Yingjie knew this was a sign of chronic malnutrition, the children in this village all seemed to look this way.
“Hello, kid. I’m not here to steal vegetables. I’m just curious about how someone could be so amazing as to actually grow vegetable seedlings,” Yingjie said with the most harmless smile he could muster. These seedlings were clearly well cared for as they grew, and he would not pluck even one for research.
On hearing Yingjie’s words, the little boy puffed out his chest proudly and said, “My grandfather is the best, these seedlings were all planted by him. All the other grandfathers and grandmothers have failed, but my grandfather succeeded!”
“Where is your grandfather? Can you take me to see him? I would also like to ask for some advice,” Yingjie asked eagerly.
The little boy, seeing that Yingjie did not seem intending to steal their family’s seedlings, pointed out the way for him, saying, “I still have to watch over the vegetable garden. You go find him yourself!”
Yingjie thanked him profusely and took another deep look at the green-yellow seedlings before hurrying off in the direction that the little boy had pointed. The boy had said that he and his grandfather lived at the third turn, in a house with a plastic shed in the yard, that was their home.
He knew that the man Su Jin and the others brought had woken up, and they might leave here soon, so he had to figure out before that why it was possible to grow vegetable seedlings here. He knew that before, City E had also tried to plant crops and vegetables, but every attempt had ended in failure.
At the same time, Xing Taian was excited and worried. They had harvested at least forty thousand Crystal Cores today. He just didn’t know if Su Jin and the others still had enough food.
After all, Crystal Cores had a price, but food was priceless.
And a team member came to tell him that they had seen Lu Hao putting things into their car, which looked like they were planning to leave the village.
This couldn’t be happening! His food had not yet been exchanged. Nevermind exchanging for forty thousand Crystal Cores; even if he could exchange just one more bag, it could help their village last for a very long time.
As Xing Taian was anxiously preparing to go to the next yard to find Su Jin and Lu Hao, Su Jin and Lu Hao had already arrived with Yan Gang and a group of team members surrounding them.
Su Jin was also speechless. She was still resting in the Space when Lu Hao came in and reminded her that they might have to go to Xing Taian earlier. Over the wall of the neighboring courtyard, heads from Xing Taian’s team would pop up from time to time, seemingly probing when they would leave.
So the two thought it better to go ahead and trade with Xing Taian’s people, as they seemed quite anxious.
“Su Jin, we’ve cleaned the Crystal Cores thoroughly, a total of 46,379 pieces,” Xing Taian said anxiously, turning to Su Jin, “how much food can you exchange for us?”
If they couldn’t exchange them all, even half would do. If that really wasn’t possible, even exchanging ten thousand would mean they had made a profit for the day.
Yan Gang had already brought out all the Crystal Cores Xing Taian mentioned and placed them in front of Su Jin, grinning and asking,
“Miss, they are all here, do you want to count them again?”
“No need to count anymore, I trust you,”
Su Jin waved her hand, swiftly placing the crystal cores into her storage bag.
Then, she had everyone clear space in the main hall, and suddenly, a large pile of neatly arranged supplies appeared in front of everyone.
Xing Taian was so stunned by Su Jin’s smooth collection movements that he was at a loss for words.
She took them all? So that meant they were all traded?!
All these supplies were for them?
Xing Taian, excitedly counting, found there were as many as three hundred bags of grain! And next to them were several baskets of eggs, even more than last night, and even many packs of corn?!
How could they have traded for so many?
“Wholesale price, and besides, my man-eating flower took care of quite a number of your zombies,”
Su Jin said with a smile.

“This, how can we accept this? You also need to eat, if you sell all of it to us, then you…”
Xing Taian said with a conflicted expression. Other people would sell for as high a price as possible, yet these two offered them wholesale prices? Even though these supplies were for the villagers, they shouldn’t shortchange Su Jin and her companion.
“Don’t worry, we still have more, and besides, they would spoil if kept for too long. Just take them,”
She had just recorded over forty thousand crystal cores in her account, all the crystal cores from the village were now in her storage bag, it felt like a dream.
“Thank you so much, sob sob sob, if only we had met you sooner,”
One of the team members started crying. If they had met these two good people earlier, perhaps their fallen comrades would still be alive.
“Captain Xing, if you’re willing in the future, you can also come to S City Base to barter for grain with me, though the journey might be a bit long,”
Su Jin said. The crystal cores from this village would be a waste if given to other nearby bases, if she could monopolize this business it would be perfect.
“Really? Little sister?!”
Xing Taian was so excited that he wanted to grasp Su Jin’s hand, but Lu Hao, quick on his feet, blocked him in time.
“If you dare come, we will always sell to you,”
Lu Hao said with a grin that didn’t quite reach his eyes. His wife’s hand was not something just anyone could hold.
“Dare come! Of course we dare! One trip to you is worth a hundred trips to those bases,”
Yan Gang added. When they went to those bases to trade for grain, the worst they got was only five pounds of food. Going back and forth was dangerous and not worth it. S City might be a bit far, but trading with Su Jin, they could get a lot in one go!
“Alright, Captain Xing, then it’s a deal, pleased to collaborate,” Su Jin said happily.
“Pleased to collaborate,”
Xing Taian laughed heartily as he shook hands with Lu Hao. This guy was truly enviable, having such a beautiful wife. If it were him, he might even be more protective than Lu Hao.
