I have been sleeping for 500 years and I opened a supermarket in the end times
Chapter 6 Profiteers
After settling Fang Fei and the others, Yao Xue chatted with her mother for a while, then found an excuse, disguised herself and went out.
Thinking back to her mother's sadness when she saw her broken leg, and the arrogant attitude of the people from the base when they came to her house to collect food, it seemed that this team, which was once ranked third in the base, would fall, and they would definitely end up in the South District.
Yao Xue couldn't help but clench her hands tightly.
If you want to make fun of her, forget it!
Yao Xue tried to choose places with few people and secluded places along the way, using the cover of night and camouflage to conceal her figure.
She took a shortcut and finally arrived at the exchange at the base.
The silver-white exchange has a strong technological architectural style. Generally, people from the base trade with each other here, or people from other bases come here to do business.
Because it is an official trading institution, this place is generally very safe, and even if the transaction fails, it will not hurt the relationship (but I don’t know what will happen outside).
Entering the exchange hall, both sides of the door are filled with stalls of various sizes.
"One pound of fried mutant bloodworms for one crystal core, it's delicious and worth it! You get what you pay for, you'll make a fortune if you buy it!"
"A bundle of poison ivy. A bundle of poison ivy. Hurry and buy now!"
"A purebred digging dog pup, genuine and at a good price. Instead of paying 999 for the crystal core, you can take it home for just 99!"
……
The vendors were all shouting out their wares, fearing that their business would be snatched away by their competitors.
But when they saw Yao Xue, they all tacitly did not push the product to her.
After all, those who can do business here must have some connections. How could they not know that only Yao Xue and Fang Fei were left in the third team?
Besides, both of them are disabled and don't have much money, so no one wants to make trouble for themselves.
All they have to do now is ignore them.
Don't add insult to injury, don't help when the weather is snowing, just watch from afar and wait for things to develop.
Yao Xue’s target is naturally not this group of ordinary small vendors.
She looked into the distance and saw an independent shop with a dark golden appearance located in the deepest part of the exchange.
This is the only shop in the exchange and has been rented for many years to a wealthy businessman who is said to be from the Canghai Base, the largest base in Yue Province.
He is also a space user.
Although he is just an ordinary space ability user, it can be seen from his arrogance that he travels back and forth between Canghai Base and other small and medium-sized bases alone that this person is very powerful and should not be underestimated.
Because before the zombie apocalypse, there were still many animals and plants on the war-torn blue and white planet that had mutated due to environmental pollution.
Yao Xue limped to the front of the store.
At this time, the store had already hung a sold-out sign.
A tall man in black was packing up the store.
He had a cold temperament, and on his flawless face like white jade, there was a deep, old scar from a knife that ran straight from the temple of his left eye to the bottom of his right ear, dividing his originally handsome face into two.
The scar seemed to have not been treated effectively. The bright red tender flesh at the wound was repeatedly infected and filled with pus, and finally became a dark brown scar that could not be removed.
This is the wealthy businessman from that big base.
As a rule, he doesn't usually stay here longer than Wednesday.
So, he's leaving tomorrow.
Yao Xue took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily: "Hello."
"Is there something wrong?" The man held an e-cigarette in his mouth and glanced at Yao Xue in front of him, but his hands did not stop packing up.
"I have a good deal to discuss with you." Yao Xue lowered her voice, paying close attention to the people around her, and then returned to her normal tone, "Do you have any anti-inflammatory drugs?"
"This week's supply is gone. You have to wait until next week." The man looked calm, as if he didn't hear Yao Xue's whisper.
"When will you come next week?" Yao Xue asked anxiously.
"Friday." The man threw the packed things into his own space, thought for a moment, looked Yao Xue up and down, and his eyes fell on Yao Xue's injured leg. "But it seems that your injury will not last until then."
"Don't worry about that. As long as you can get the medicine, I can hold on until then."
The man stared at Yao Xue for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Okay, I'll be grateful for Captain Yao's care when the time comes."
Then he walked out of the exchange, and Yao Xue also limped out.
The remaining people in the exchange couldn't help but talk about it.
"Huh? Why is Captain Yao's leg broken?"
"You don't know this, do you? Yao Xue had an accident while on a mission, and one of her beautiful legs was broken. She was lucky, as the bleeding stopped in time, and she didn't get inflamed or infected with a virus, so she barely managed to survive."
"What do you mean by lucky? If you can survive this summer, then you're truly lucky!"
"I heard that the third team was almost wiped out in this mission. Even though they have fallen to such a state, Yao Xue actually came to trade with Jin Yi! She is so brave!"
"That's right, Jin Yi is an old fox. He is so cunning that he even peels off the skin of the dead when making a deal with them. He is worthy of being the captain of the third team. He has guts!"
"Could it be that Yao Xue has hidden something good? After all, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse!"
"Forget it! Just a few hours ago, I saw the people from the grain bureau turn her house upside down and only found a few dozen kilograms of grain. Apart from the portion that was confiscated, I'm afraid she only has a few kilograms of food left to make do for a few days."
"Then what can she exchange for the anti-inflammatory drugs? This stuff is okay in those big bases. But in a small base like ours, it's very expensive!"
"What else could it be? Maybe the old fox has a strong taste and likes that."
"Hahahaha, that's true, but a guy who doesn't even look down on our base commander's daughter, who knows what's wrong with him, either his brain or..."
……
Yao Xue dragged her crippled leg and struggled for a long time before she finally shook off the people following her and arrived at city gate No. 1.
At this time, there was no one else at City Gate No. 1 except Jin Yi who had been waiting there for a long time.
Jin Yi leaned against the wall, facing Yao Xue sideways.
Half of his face was illuminated by the moonlight of the full moon, and the other half was hidden in darkness, making the already somewhat scary face even more eerie.
Yao Xue swallowed her saliva. The arrow was on the string and there was no chance for her to turn back.
"I... agree to your terms." She finally said it.
Although she had politely rejected him not long ago.
But at this moment, she was very glad that she had only refused politely, otherwise, she would never have the opportunity to talk to him face to face in private.
"You seem to think things are too simple." Jin Yi's voice was even and even. "This condition is for Captain Yao of the third team of Chenfeng Base."
"Instead of the current one, Yao Xue with a broken leg."
Sure enough.
Yao Xue gritted her teeth secretly, but this was exactly what she wanted. She was originally a little afraid that Jin Yi would agree to her request directly.
What she wanted was not a bowl of water, but a well.
"You...you have other conditions?" She pretended to be calm.
"I can obtain intelligence from the team that takes over your unfinished mission, but how much information can you get if you haven't completed the mission?" Jin Yi said lightly.
"However, I am curious about what kind of confidence you have to come to me to make a deal. This is really not the style of the always cautious Captain Yao."
"...I can tell you a little bit about what I know." Yao Xue frowned.
"No one survived in the 88th subsidiary of Shengxing Technology."
