He had already visited the safe store and knew that the prices for bullets were exorbitantly high, and there was even a rationing order in place. If Fang Yuxin agreed to the trade, he was willing to exchange the bullets for crystal cores.
But since Zhou Yan was present, he couldn’t discuss this matter. He didn’t know what Fang Yuxin was planning at the moment, so naturally, he couldn’t say anything that might ruin her plans.
Zhou Yan saw Fang Yuxin’s hesitation and tried to persuade her again, "Rest assured, Miss Fang, the price will definitely satisfy you." Having said that, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket, opened it, and placed it in front of Fang Yuxin. It was a price list that included not only bullets but also firearms. Zhou Yan obviously had very serious intentions this time; he even listed grenades and machine guns on it, of course, with outrageously high prices.
Machine guns were not sold in the safe store, let alone high-powered weapons like heavy machine guns. Before, when the zombies weren’t very strong, people on military missions would generally carry submachine guns, which were easier to transport.
At present, basic-level zombies were still in the majority, and submachine guns were enough to deal with them. However, mutant zombies were much more difficult to tackle, necessitating the need for more powerful weapons.
At first glance, it seemed that General Song was indeed very sincere.
Fang Yuxin started to smile, knowing a heavy machine gun could trade for a lot of vegetables, but even all the vegetables in their garden might not be enough.
In the warehouse of Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, they did have a lot of fresh vegetables stored from before the apocalypse, but she had no intention of buying the heavy machine gun right now. To her, it was not necessary at all.
After finishing reading what was written on the paper, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Yan with an amused look. Zhou Yan felt very uncomfortable under her gaze, his heart pounding erratically, completely flustered, though he still maintained a composed demeanor on the surface.
In fact, he also felt guilty since the price list was somewhat ostentatious.
Fang Yuxin didn’t make it difficult for him. She placed the paper in front of Zhou Yan, her slender finger tapping on the grenades: "I don’t want bullets. Let’s trade with this instead."
As for the bullets, she could buy them at the safe store. Those reward credit points should not be wasted by just accumulating them on the card; they needed to be used. Grenades, which were quite powerful and not available in the safe store, were perfect for her.
She thought it over, the vegetables in their garden were nourished by Spiritual Energy, which made them far superior to ordinary vegetables. She didn’t want to give Zhou Yan and General Song behind him a good deal for nothing. It would probably be better to take this opportunity to sell those fresh vegetables stored in the warehouse.
She took out a pen, rewrote a price behind the price of the grenades, pushed the paper to Zhou Yan, and said, "Trade at this price. If you agree, then go and prepare the goods. Bring them here in half an hour for the exchange."
Zhou Yan glanced at the price, which was substantially lower than what they were asking for, barely meeting his tolerance threshold. This made his heart skip a beat, and looking at Fang Yuxin’s half-smiling expression, he suddenly felt she was even more mysterious and unfathomable.
He nodded in agreement to the price and then hurriedly left the Fang Family’s residence to prepare the items.
Bai Ye had not seen the price list before, and after Zhou Yan left, he couldn’t help but ask Fang Yuxin, "What did you choose?"
Fang Yuxin glanced at him but didn’t answer. Instead, she said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush. I don’t like it."
Bai Ye was taken aback by her comment, his face tightened, and then he said, "I was thinking of exchanging some things, the kind you can’t buy in the safe store. If you’re willing to help, I can trade crystal cores with you."
He had an explosives expert in his team, and if he could get the materials to make explosives, their strength would increase significantly. However, those materials were not easy to come by. Before the apocalypse, he had ways to obtain them, but now that the apocalypse had arrived, it was difficult to gather all the necessary materials.
Fang Yuxin thought for a moment, handed him a piece of paper and a pen, and said, "Write down what you need first. I’ll see if there’s any way I can help you get it."
Bai Ye didn’t decline. Taking the items, he quickly started writing. Because he needed Fang Yuxin’s help, he didn’t conceal anything and wrote down everything he wanted. After finishing, he handed the list to Fang Yuxin, "If you can get these items, I’d appreciate your help."
Fang Yuxin took the paper and glanced at it, her expression changing immediately. The items listed were all for making explosives. Moreover, she had plenty of the materials listed on hand.
When she was preparing supplies in the past, she had prepared not only living essentials but had also purchased other items through special channels. Fang Yuyang had been the one responsible for this because they were just materials and were not regulated as strictly, making them easy to obtain.
At that time, she had prepared for the sake of caution, but neither she nor Fang Yuyang knew how to make explosives. Her initial plan was to look for experts in this area after the apocalypse, but since her family members had their superpowers awakened, she had been busy helping them improve their strength and had pushed this matter to the back of her mind.
Now, it turned out to be advantageous for Bai Ye.
Bai Ye, on his list, even specified the prices, which seemed quite sincere. Fang Yuxin didn’t haggle and said, "I can give you some of these items right now. I won’t take your crystal cores, but I want half of the finished products."
Although crystal cores were good, with powerful explosives, couldn’t they get as many crystal cores as they wanted?
Bai Ye hadn’t expected Fang Yuxin to have these materials on hand, nor did he anticipate that she would opt for the finished products. He was momentarily at a loss for words. (To be continued.
