Seeing that everyone agreed, Chen Shou spoke directly to Lin Wei and Old Zhao:

"Since there are no problems, then this matter is settled."

Lin Wei, Old Zhao, go now and pick out the items from your allocated supplies that you think you don't need or that you can exchange for.

The main staple foods are rice, noodles, and potatoes, which are easy to store.

Estimate the approximate share each of you can contribute and write it down.

Lin Wei gave a curt reply, then got up and walked outside.

Old Zhao also dusted himself off, stood up, and followed them out of the tent.

Chen Shou then raised his voice and shouted towards the outside of the tent:

"Old Liu! Come in here for a moment!"

Old Liu, who had been waiting nearby, lifted the curtain and entered upon hearing the call:

"Captain Chen, what's the matter?"

Chen Shou quickly explained:

"We've finalized the deal with them."

We will provide 500 jin of staple food, along with some other items, to exchange with the other party.

Lin Wei and Old Zhao have already gone to count their share.

You need to do two things right now:

First, take stock of the staple foods in the van and their respective proportions.

Secondly, after Lin Wei and Old Zhao have selected the items, they will calculate the costs and then replenish the stock from the cargo box.

Then, we need to register the amount of goods each person takes out and the amount taken out of the cargo box. We will calculate the proportion of each person's share later.

Hurry up, Wu Feng and the others are waiting for news. We need to get things done and deliver the food to them before dark.

"Once the transaction is complete, we need to leave immediately, otherwise staying any longer will be dangerous."

Old Liu was a veteran in the transport team, with extensive experience in managing supplies. He immediately understood Chen Shou's meaning and nodded, saying:

"Understood, Captain."

I'll get on it right away. I'll also include Miss Lin's and Old Master Zhao's shares in the calculations."

"Go ahead, and be careful."

Chen Shou waved his hand.

Old Liu accepted the order and hurriedly left.

Only Chen Shou and Su Ye remained in the tent for the time being.

Chen Shou rubbed his temples, a hint of fatigue showing on his face. He said to Su Ye:

You should get ready too.

Once the food is gathered and the transaction is completed, we will divide up the materials and artifacts used for the mysterious artifacts. Ultimately, we will need to come to you for processing.

You should first consider how to best use the tortoise shell and the bell.

Those two mysterious artifacts...

Lin Wei might be able to use a gun, but the cost will only be known after trying.

Lampstand…

"You and Old Zhao, see who's more suitable."

Su Ye nodded:

"clear.

Once I get the materials, I'll confirm their properties and then see where they'd be most suitable to fuse with.

Deceptive weapon...

I'll see how it goes once I get the points.

If the side effects are too severe, I'll find a way to manage them.

"Yes, as long as you know it."

Chen Shou stood up.

"I'll go to Wu Feng's place to tell them our decision and see what specific plans they have for the future."

"it is good."

Just as Chen Shou straightened his clothes and prepared to head to the open space where Wu Feng's convoy was stationed.

···

On Wu Feng's convoy side, several awakened individuals were sitting around a tent next to an off-road vehicle, and the atmosphere was not relaxed.

Shen Xin unconsciously twirled a beautiful stone-like object in her hand and asked in a low voice:

"Boss, you said..."

Will they agree?

Five hundred catties is no small amount.

Our stuff...

Is this enough?

Wang Kui squatted to the side, speaking with a touch of naivety:

I think there's potential.

If all else fails, we still have some gasoline and good parts salvaged from wrecked cars in our inventory, right?

Especially those few all-terrain tires that are about 80% new, add them all in!

The car must be important to them.

Zhou Lie, who was half-lying with his arms crossed, scoffed at this, a flash of violent red light appearing in his eyes:

"Add, add, add what?"

If you ask me, those guys on the other side are all only Tier 1.

Perception, ice, berserker, plus that inhuman kid...

Four first-order!

The five of us: me and the leader are at the third tier, and the three of you are all at the peak of the second tier, about to reach the third tier, right?

Even excluding our leader and the two enemy soldiers who are perceived to be incapable of fighting, we still crush them.

Let's just wipe them out and loot them!

"After all this trouble negotiating, aren't the food, women, and cars all ours?"

Xu Xin suddenly looked up, her usually cool face now showing anger:

Zhou Lie!

Shut up!

All they do all day is kill, kill, kill!

The side effects of your 'Blood Flame Sequence' are getting more and more severe. Do you want to continue killing people and increase the side effects?

"When your manic-blooded rage takes over, will you even want to kill us teammates?!"

Zhou Lie's face stiffened, his eyes flashed red intensely a few times, and he took a deep breath.

He turned his head away and didn't say anything more, but his clenched fists showed his inner turmoil.

Wu Feng listened in silence, his brows furrowed.

He glanced at the people stationed at Chen Shou's team in the distance, and then looked at his teammates around him, who had different personalities and abilities, but had ultimately supported each other all the way to where they were now.

One is the survival of their own team, and the other is the convoy of fellow human survivors.

Murder and robbery?

This thought had crossed his mind before, especially when resources were extremely scarce and the pressure was immense.

But every time this thought arose, he would forcefully suppress it.

He can't set this precedent; once he does, the nature of the team will change.

Especially in this damned world, the ruthless infighting among fellow human beings will only push everyone into a darker abyss, extinguishing the already slim hope of survival.

Moreover, the seemingly eerie young man opposite them should be named Su Ye.

Every time he faced him, if any bad thoughts arose, the power of sequence would frantically warn him.

The warning was stronger than ever before; it was the strongest he had ever received since he obtained the power of the sequence.

He truly couldn't imagine what kind of situation could have prompted his Sequence Power to issue such a warning.

Finally, he took a deep breath, suppressing the ruthlessness and fear that had arisen in his heart under such dire circumstances, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Let me take another look."

See what their reply is.

If the other party feels we don't have enough leverage...

We'll add some more gasoline and parts.

if only……

As long as the other party is willing to provide food.

He paused, his gaze sharpening and becoming heavy, and said, word by word:

"Only if the other party explicitly refuses to trade and does not give us any food..."

Let's reconsider...

"A last resort."

Everyone understood the meaning behind those words. The atmosphere grew even more tense.

Just then, a motorcyclist on guard duty came in to relay a message:

"Team Leader Wu, Captain Chen is here, alone."

Wu Feng's spirits lifted, and he immediately stood up, composing himself.

"Everyone, stay alert and wait for my message."

He had only taken a few steps to greet him when Chen Shou was already right in front of him.

"Captain Chen."

Wu Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute, trying to make his voice sound steady.

"Captain Wu,"

Chen Shou got straight to the point, his face devoid of any superfluous expression.

"We've discussed it."

A transaction is possible.

We will prepare 500 jin of staple food as soon as possible.

How about we jointly conduct the promised service and inventory checks?

Wu Feng felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, followed by an overwhelming surge of joy!

Xu Xin and Wang Kui behind him also visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and even Zhou Lie, who had been keeping his face turned away, relaxed his shoulders slightly.
