Lu Xinyi's question made Qiao Chi stunned.

He only knew that he could use crystal cores to exchange supplies with Lu Xinyi, but he didn't know the specific exchange price.

He only had 200 crystal cores in his hand, and he was worried that they were not enough to exchange, but he didn't expect Lu Xinyi to ask him if he wanted to keep some.

He asked tentatively: "Then may I ask Captain Lu, how much supplies can one crystal core be exchanged for?"

"One first-level crystal core can be exchanged for 50 kilograms of unhusked rice or 40 kilograms of refined rice." Lu Xinyi replied, "If you want to exchange for flour, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other things, that's fine too."

Qiao Chi was stunned and looked at her in surprise.

One first-level crystal core can be exchanged for 40 kilograms of refined rice?

No wonder Captain Lu asked him to keep some crystal cores.

He has these two hundred crystal cores, including some second-order crystal cores. Can't they be exchanged for more than 8000 kilograms of rice?

It’s enough for two or three hundred people to eat for many days!

After pondering for a moment, he took out 80 crystal cores and exchanged them for rice and other supplies.

After Lu Xinyi counted the crystal cores, she readily took out the supplies from the space and gave them to him.

Looking at the living room filled with supplies like a mountain, Qiao Chi suddenly felt richer than ever before.

He quickly called other people to move all the supplies to the warehouse.

After the supplies were moved, Qiao Chi looked at Lu Xinyi with gratitude and said sincerely: "Captain Lu, thank you for being willing to exchange supplies with us! The supplies you gave us are enough to keep us going for a long time!"

Lu Xinyi said calmly, "No need to thank me, it's just a deal, I paid for the goods, I didn't give it to you for nothing."

"No matter what, I have to thank Captain Lu." Qiao Chi said, sighing, "To be honest, although our base has a large number of people and is well built, in fact, our life is not easy."

"Our base is too remote. Over the past six months, we have plundered all the supplies we could find around us. The sudden extreme cold weather at the beginning of the apocalypse last year destroyed all the crops in the fields. We couldn't even find food in the fields if we wanted to."

"If we want to get food, we can only go to farther counties or urban areas, but the number of zombies in those places is far from comparable to that in the countryside. With just the people of us, we dare not go there at all."

"Even these 200 crystal cores were something we saved up for a long time, but we didn't know what they were used for. We just kept them in case they could come in handy."

At this point, he couldn't help but smile, "I didn't expect it would come in handy now."

Lu Xinyi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Such is the end of the world.

Even if you manage to escape the zombies' attack, it would be difficult to survive in this world without food.

She was silent for a moment and then said, "As long as you have the crystal core, you can exchange supplies with me."

As for the evolution liquid, she and Qiao Chi had just met, so it was better not to take out the evolution liquid rashly, but to observe it first.

"Thank you, Captain Lu. I'm afraid I'll be doing business with you more often in the future." Qiao Chi said, and then looked at Bi Jing, "Captain Bi, I have a request. If the Shuguang Base has a mission in the future, can our Water Cube participate together?"

In this way, they will have more opportunities to obtain crystal cores.

Bi Jing answered simply: "Of course."

All the topics that needed to be discussed had been discussed, and Qiao Chi enthusiastically invited everyone to have lunch at the base, and Lu Xinyi and the others did not refuse.

There are a lot of people at the Water Cube base, and there is a special canteen.

But in Qiao Chi's opinion, since Lu Xinyi and the others were guests, he naturally couldn't let them go to the cafeteria to eat from the same pot. Instead, he had someone prepare a table of meals specifically for them.

At the dinner table, besides Qiao Chi, there was also a young woman named Lin Yufei from the Water Cube. She had a gentle and pretty appearance, with the softness of a Jiangnan water town.

Qiao Chi introduced Lin Yufei to everyone: "Everyone, this is the doctor of our base, and also a healing psychic. She is the person I trust the most."

A person with healing abilities?

Lu Xinyi couldn't help but take another look at Lin Yufei.

When she heard Qiao Chi say that she was the person he trusted the most, she couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on her face, and her eyes unconsciously looked at Qiao Chi with a bit of tenderness in her eyes.

Lu Xinyi understood after seeing this.

But this was a matter concerning someone else's base and had nothing to do with her, so she just glanced at it indifferently and then looked away.

Qiao Chi continued, "When we go on missions together in the future, I will inevitably bring Yu Fei with me, so I thought of calling Yu Fei over so that everyone can get to know her in advance."

Lin Yufei picked up the teacup on the table and said softly, "I'm not very good at talking, so I'll use tea instead of wine to toast everyone. Welcome everyone, and thank Captain Lu for being willing to do business with us."

After saying this, she took a sip from the teacup, with a gentle and generous smile on her face.

Seeing this, the others also raised their teacups to her.

The meal was very sumptuous, and the ingredients used were all given by Lu Xinyi just now.

There were braised spare ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, mu shu pork, pork stewed with vermicelli, braised eggplant, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and a big pot of white rice.

This meal was nothing to Lu Xinyi and Qin Jue, it was similar to what they ate every day.

But to others, it is quite rich.

Not to mention Qiao Chi and Lin Yufei who hadn't eaten pork for a long time, even Bi Jing and others were a little surprised.

Although they have no shortage of food, it is just enough to fill their stomachs. How can they eat so richly?

It can be seen from this meal that Qiao Chi is a very kind person.

After the meal, Lu Xinyi and the others did not stay long. With Qiao Chi and other people in the base watching them, they drove away.

Watching the two cars go away, Lin Yufei turned to look at Qiao Chi and asked, "Qiao Chi, do we really have to go on missions with these two bases in the future?"

Qiao Chi nodded and said, "Shuguang Base is an official base. Captain Bi was a soldier before. Didn't you see that he was driving an armored vehicle? Captain Lu has abundant supplies, and even Captain Bi has great respect for Captain Lu. I think Captain Lu must be a powerful figure. We will not suffer any loss if we go on missions with them. On the contrary, it will be very beneficial."

"But..." Lin Yufei bit her lip lightly and said hesitantly, "I think our base is fine now. Everyone is safe and sound. Isn't that enough?"

Qiao Chi turned his head to look at her and said seriously, "Yu Fei, the end of the world is not as simple as we think. Although our base is not bad now, if we are content with the status quo, it will only hurt ourselves and everyone else in the end."

"Can--"

Qiao Chi interrupted her and said firmly: "Yufei, I have made up my mind, you don't have to say anything more. I do all this for the base and for everyone."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

Lin Yufei glanced at his resolute back and felt a little disappointed.
