Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Selling Grain to the Bandits

Cai Jianbin was holding a long watermelon knife in his hand, looking at the group of people descending from the vehicle.

“Guys, you all look like honest folks. Where are you headed?”

Qi Liangliang, who was originally leaning against the iron spikes, stepped forward to ask Lu Hao.

“We plan to go to Base A in City A, but we’re not sure what this place is…”

A face of honesty and straightforwardness, Lu Hao asked.

The people who came down from these two vehicles all looked like ordinary folks, and there were even two elderly people, which piqued Cai Jianbin’s interest. It was rare to see the elderly in the apocalypse these days.

Probably because… they all died out, perhaps.

“You can go to Base A in City A, but hand over all of your supplies first.”

Cai Jianbin, wielding the long watermelon knife, waved it in front of Lu Hao as he spoke, while the people originally by the vehicle gradually surrounded them.

These people, they seemed easy to bully.

“We don’t have any supplies left,”

Lu Hao spoke, his words evidently unbelievable, as some were already preparing to forcibly search their vehicles.

However, those who nearly reached the vehicle suddenly discovered they couldn’t move anymore. When they looked down, they found that their feet had somehow been frozen in place!

Bang!

Lu Hao also threw a huge ball of fire towards the iron spikes ahead. The black and red flames burned, quickly melting the iron spikes in the middle of the road into a pool of molten iron.

Cai Jianbin was still not ready to counterattack when suddenly countless green rope-like things flew before his eyes, binding everyone behind him tightly together in an instant.

“Let’s talk this out, just give us a chance to live,”

Cai Jianbin had completely realized by now, their special abilities were formidable, they definitely weren’t a match, and unexpected as it was, it seemed today they had really kicked against an iron board.

“You guys, rather than properly killing zombies, why are you here engaging in robbing people? Aren’t there enough zombies for you to kill?”

Lu Guanhai spoke up once he saw these people trapped.

“What the hell is the use of killing zombies?! Isn’t it still a death from hunger?”

Qi Liangliang spat disdainfully, explaining that they only wanted to live one more day if possible. Killing more zombies would only make them hungry faster.

Thud.

The leader, Cai Jianbin, actually knelt down, speaking to the family, “We’re all just trying to survive the apocalypse here. We can’t overpower you, just spare the others if you can, take my life.”

“Please, spare us. We were also too hungry, we had no choice,”

“Yes, although we rob people of their supplies, we have never killed anyone, please leave us a way out,”

“…”

The family looked at each other, wondering if they were the ones being robbed or if they were robbing others.

“What use is your life, but get up and answer a few questions for us, and we’ll let you go,”

Su Jin said somewhat speechlessly, these were the most spineless robbers she had ever seen.

“What questions?”

Cai Jianbin first asked in confusion, and then realizing he could stand up, felt somewhat guilty. These people with kind and honest faces weren’t bad people after all.

They had even tried to rob them just now.

“We want to go to Base A in City A; tell us how to get there,”

Su Jin asked.

“Why are you going to the base? There’s nothing inside there; we all ran away from there,”

Qi Liangliang couldn’t help but say.

“We’re going… to sell supplies,”

Su Jin’s flippant tone made everyone in front of her widen their eyes.

Sell supplies?

Sell?

In this age of famine, are there really people still selling supplies?

“How much? Can we buy some first?”

Cai Jianbin immediately asked, just not knowing what these people would want in exchange for supplies.

“Of course, thirty Crystal Cores per kilogram of rice.”

Su Jin casually mentioned a number, thirty Crystal Cores per kilogram of food, which was ten Crystal Cores more expensive than the price at the S city base.

It was Crystal Cores after all!

“We have Crystal Cores, sell it to us!”

Cai Jianbin was ecstatic, thinking Crystal Cores were useless, and this person was selling them so cheaply, could they be foolish?

“Crystal Cores? Thirty Crystal Cores? I still have a box of unwanted Crystal Cores under my bed.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I also have a lot of Crystal Cores in my Space, please sell us some, even just a kilogram would be fine.”

“…”

Su Jin looked at Lu Hao and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on?”

Were even the robbers looking to buy things?

Lu Hao curled the corners of his mouth and said, “If they want to buy, we will sell.”

“Yes, Xiao Jin, since we’re selling supplies anyway, as long as they have Crystal Cores we should just sell to them, they can’t beat us anyway,”

Huang Yunxiang chimed in as well.

Su Jin nodded and then said to Cai Jianbin, “Okay, bring all the Crystal Cores you have here for trade”

All of them?!

Really?

Seeing that the crowd seemed skeptical, Su Jin waved her hand and pulled out a stack of supplies from her Space and placed them on the ground in front of her, only to put them away moments later.

No one doubted her anymore.

Everyone looking at those bags of white rice and flour was suddenly overcome with joy.

Were these people sent by God to save them?

Otherwise, how could they have so much food?

Eventually, after some discussion, Su Jin and her group decided to follow Cai Jianbin and the others to their residence to trade for food.

Since many people didn’t carry Crystal Cores when they went out, and they never considered Crystal Cores important, with some even finding them troublesome and just randomly throwing them under beds or elsewhere.

Thinking of the Crystal Cores they had hidden so securely, Su Jin felt somewhat dazed; were these people too wealthy, or were they too impoverished?

The place where Cai Jianbin and his group lived looked like it had been a chain express hotel before the Apocalypse, and there were quite a few people inside, mostly women and children. They saw their people coming back so early and thought they had snagged some good stuff today.

However, to their disappointment, no supplies were unloaded from their truck.

“Daddy!”

A little girl about the same age as Mao Qiqi ran out from one of the hotel rooms and called out to Cai Jianbin.

“Xiao Zhen, Daddy’s back,”

Cai Jianbin picked up his daughter and said to the crowd that had gathered, “Everyone, please bring out the Crystal Cores you have at home and place them in the hall; we are going to trade them with these friends for some food shortly.”

“Old Cai, you weren’t scammed, were you? Where is there even any food these days?”

A middle-aged woman asked incredulously.

“Auntie Zhang, it’s true, they just showed us the food,”

Qi Liangliang said as he ran upstairs, where he also had many Crystal Cores, all accumulated from before. He didn’t know if he had brought them when he left the base; if not, he would go mad.

The others also returned to their rooms to search for Crystal Cores.

Under beds, in clothes pockets, on window sills, in trash cans… they looked everywhere for Crystal Cores.

Meanwhile, Su Jin and her group had already set up their stall to sell the grains, and they took out a few bags of rice and flour to place beside the table, and even some eggs, which were all fresh since she wasn’t afraid to reveal her identity, and so decided to sell a few.
