Tan Yue had a dream.
In the dream, she was still a child and her parents were still alive. Their family of three lives happily in a small villa on the outskirts of Yancheng.
At that time, the family was not wealthy enough to buy a manor, and Tan Yue's parents were busy all day long trying to start a business. Little Tan Yue often has things she wants to share with her parents.
She longs for love from her parents.
However, this wish often fails.
During that time, it was a neighbor boy named Xiaotian who relieved her loneliness and depression.
As she was growing up, Xiaotian's unreserved smile often appeared in her dreams, like sunshine, illuminating every inch of darkness in her heart.
It's the same this time.
In the dream, little Tan Yue timidly took the cookie from the boy opposite with a bright smile.
The boy brought a German Shepherd and invited her to touch it.
"It's very well-behaved."
The girl carefully put her hand up and touched the ferocious-looking dog, with a sincere smile on her lips.
Suddenly the scene in the dream changed. The German Shepherd was rolling on the ground in pain, and the little boy was panicking and chasing something away with a stick.
Little Tan Yue was slow to react to everything. By the time she saw what it was, it had long since disappeared.
It was a venomous snake with scales all over its body a rare bright purple.
The snake saw her, straightened up, and spat at her.
…
A month passed quickly.
During this period, the above-ground bases have been partially put into use, and the dormitories of some stationed troops have been moved from the underground bases to the ground.
The underground base is already overcrowded, and hundreds of thousands of survivors from the entire Yan City have gathered here.
It is worth mentioning that Tan Yue's manor has already planted a hundred sedge trees and a hundred cinnamon trees, and has also produced a batch of fruits.
Ran Yiyu has raised a pond and needs to find another place to breed it.
After discussing with Tan Yue, the base decided to release Ran Yi fish in the river on the northeastern outskirts of Yancheng to allow them to reproduce freely and to suppress the proliferation of mutated insects.
Now Tan Yue has two baskets of fruits in his hand, one basket is made of Satang fruits and the other is made of Danmu fruits. There are about 150 Satang fruits, and the fruits of Danmu are less, only about a hundred. These are the fruits produced by the trees before the expansion. When the first batch of fruits matures after the expansion of the forest, Tan Yue will have thousands of fruits to sell.
The problem now is that it's the end of the world, and the currency in peacetime has long since ceased to work. If she wants to sell fruit, what will others exchange for it?
"First of all, you can trade the fruit and the base for a larger dormitory, or even a small house in the above-ground base." Her roommate Wen Zixi gave her a bad idea.
"Zixi..." Tan Yue smiled and shook his head.
This minister's daughter is indeed a good deceiver.
However, the solution is feasible.
Just when Tan Yue was about to carry the basket of satang fruits to the research institute, Wen Zixi's eyes widened and she hurriedly stopped her.
"You can't rush to deliver good things. This will only make them think you are easy to control! I know my dad's group of people. The old man is very insidious!" She said firmly.
Tan Yue thought about it, and it made sense. The value of her things was so high that she couldn't just give them away casually.
The two of them murmured and discussed for a while, and decided to let out some news first and lure the people over, and then the lion would open up to negotiate.
At noon the next day, the two went to the cafeteria to eat and heard people talking around them:
"Have you heard? The higher-ups are gathering a large number of S-class and A-class superpowers."
"Where to go?"
"S City."
"Damn it, City S is close to the sea. There will definitely be a lot of mutated creatures in the sea. Are you finally going to open a sea map?"
"Hey, speaking of this, I don't know if you have heard of a rumor. There is a superpower in our base. He seems to be from the plant system. He has grown a special magical fruit..."
"How amazing is that?"
"It can make people eat it and swim in the sea! I don't know how it works yet, but I heard that the headquarters will give priority to those who go to S city to perform tasks..."
"Really or not, there is such a thing..."
Tan Yue and Wen Zixi looked at each other and snickered.
The plant-type superpowers are fake, and they are only given to people who go to City S first, just to make it easier for people to believe.
But very productive, isn't it?
…
Tan Yue quickly waited for Minister Zhou and the head of the research institute, and Minister Zhou took the lead in discussing with her.
After some pleasantries, the two parties went directly to the topic. Minister Zhou proposed to provide agricultural products to the base for sale, retaining Tan Yue's first-hand sales rights. Others were prohibited from large-scale reselling, but the agricultural products should be sold to the survivor base first. The two parties have established long-term cooperation, and new products in the future will be handled in the same way.
He made a big concession, and Tan Yue had no reason to disagree.
The currency used by the base to exchange is various types of daily necessities, including food and water, and even books and entertainment equipment. In addition, Minister Zhou also specially approved the construction of a small villa for her in the above-ground survivor base as a preferential treatment for special talents.
The three of them talked for a long time. Qin Heng and Xiaolong were taking a nap next to them. Tan Yue guessed that he must be listening, but Chen Xi had already run away impatiently.
Just as the two parties were happily signing the agreement, Minister Zhou's emergency contact number suddenly rang. I saw him pick up the communication, said a few words, and then his expression became solemn.
"What happened?" Tan Yue asked with a frown.
Minister Zhou looked very anxious: "I may have to trouble you on a mission again."
"how?"
"There is a team of superpowers who disappeared at the place where you fought last time. They are a very powerful team of professional superpower warriors. This time they go to collect the relevant information you brought back last time, which is equivalent to taking over your mission."
Tan Yue was startled and suddenly felt cold all over.
She always felt that she had been in a hurry when she came back last time, and there were many things that she had not yet figured out.
If there is no team to replace them, they will probably be the ones in trouble.
As for why he was feeling cold all over, Tan Yue attributed this to an unknown sixth sense, as if something terrible was about to happen.
At the same time, in a tower more than 40 kilometers away, the purple God Liu used his tail to whip away another experimenter. The latter's back violently hit the hook on the wall, leaving a bloody hole.
The big snake's orange eyes seemed to be filled with the joy of finally being liberated, and he glanced at the messy laboratory with eager eyes.
Only one experimenter remained standing.
The young experimenter said with a sick smile on his face: "Finally you are released."
He took two steps forward and gently stroked Liu Shen's snake kiss with his hand. The latter seemed to want to have a seizure, but because the other person was his savior, he endured it, with cold impatience revealed in his eyes.
Liu Shen lowered his head and let it be stroked for a moment, then flicked his tail and slid out of the laboratory, releasing him into the wilderness.
