Lu Xinyi's question made Qiao Chi stunned.
He only knew that he could exchange crystal cores with Lu Xinyi for supplies, but he didn't know the specific exchange price.
He only had 200 crystal cores in his hand, and he was worried that he wouldn't have enough to replace them. Unexpectedly, Lu Xinyi asked him if he wanted to keep some.
He asked tentatively: "Then, Captain Lu, how much supplies can one crystal core exchange for?"
"One first-order crystal core can exchange for 50 pounds of unhulled rice or 40 pounds of refined rice." Lu Xinyi replied, "If you want to exchange for things like flour, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, you can."
Qiao Chi was stunned and looked at her in surprise.
One first-order crystal core can be exchanged for 40 pounds of highly processed rice?
No wonder Captain Lu asked him to keep some crystal cores in his hands.
His two hundred crystal nuclei, including some second-order crystal nuclei, can be exchanged for more than 8,000 kilograms of rice?
Enough to feed two to three hundred of them 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, he happily took out the supplies from the space and gave them to him.
Looking at the mountains of supplies piled up in the living room, Qiao Chi suddenly felt richer than ever before.
He quickly called others 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 your willingness to exchange supplies with us! The supplies you gave us are enough to keep us going for a long time!"
Lu Xinyi said calmly: "You don't need to thank me, it's just a transaction. You pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. I didn't give it in vain."
"No matter what, I want to thank Captain Lu." Qiao Chi said and sighed, "To be honest with you, although the number of people in our base is not small and the construction of the base is pretty good, in fact, our life It’s not a good time.”
"Our base is too remote. Over the past six months, we have plundered all the materials we could find around us. The sudden extreme cold weather at the beginning of the end of last year completely destroyed the crops in the fields, so we Even if I try to look for food in the fields, I can’t find it.”
"If we want to get food, we can only go to counties or urban areas further away, but the number of zombies in those places is far from what it can be in the countryside. We just don't dare to go to those places."
"Even these 200 crystal nuclei were saved for a long time, but we didn't know what the use of these crystal nuclei was. We just kept them in case they could come in handy."
Having said this, he couldn't help but smile, "I didn't expect it would actually 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 can escape the attack of zombies, it will be difficult to survive in this world without food.
After a moment of silence, she said: "As long as you have the crystal core, you can exchange materials with me."
As for the evolutionary fluid, she and Qiao Chi had just met, so it was better not to take out the evolutionary fluid rashly and observe it first.
"Thank you, Captain Lu. I'm afraid I will do business with Captain Lu more often in the future." Qiao Chi said, then turned to look at Bi Jing, "Captain Bi, I have a grudge. In the future, we will have missions at Shuguang Base. Can we participate in the Water Cube together?”
In this way, they will also have more opportunities to obtain crystal nuclei.
Bi Jing answered simply: "Of course."
The topics that should be discussed have been settled. Qiao Chi enthusiastically invited everyone to have lunch at the base, and Lu Xinyi and others did not refuse.
There are many people at the Water Cube base and there is a special canteen.
But in Qiao Chi's view, Lu Xinyi and the others were guests, so naturally they could not be allowed to go to the cafeteria to eat a big pot of rice. Instead, they had a table of meals specially prepared.
At the dinner table, besides Qiao Chi at the Water Cube, there was also a young woman named Lin Yufei. She looked very gentle and delicate, with the softness of a Jiangnan water town.
Qiao Chi introduced Lin Yufei to everyone: "Everyone, this is the doctor at our base. He is also a person with healing powers. He is the person I trust the most."
A person with healing powers?
Lu Xinyi couldn't help but take another look at Lin Yufei.
When she heard Qiao Chi say that she was the person she trusted the most, she couldn't help showing a hint of embarrassment on her face, and looked at Qiao Chi unconsciously, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
Lu Xinyi understood when he saw this.
But this was someone else's base's business and had nothing to do with her. She just glanced at it lightly and then looked away.
Qiao Chi continued: "In the future, when we all go on missions together, I will inevitably bring Yufei with me, so I thought of calling Yufei here to let everyone get to know each other in advance."
Lin Yufei picked up the teacup on the table and said in a soft voice: "I'm not very good at talking, so I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine. Welcome everyone, and thank you Captain Lu for his willingness to do business with us."
After speaking, she took a sip from the teacup, always with a gentle and generous smile on her face.
Seeing this, the others also raised their teacups and raised their glasses to her.
This meal was very sumptuous, and the ingredients used were all given by Lu Xinyi just now.
There are braised pork ribs, tomato scrambled eggs, mu shu pork, pork stewed vermicelli, braised eggplant, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a big pot of white rice.
To Lu Xinyi and Qin Zhi, this meal was nothing, it was similar to what they ate every day.
But in the eyes of others, it is quite rich.
Not to mention Qiao Chi and Lin Yufei, who had not eaten pork for a long time, even Bi Jing and the others were a little surprised.
Although they are not short of food, it is only to fill their stomachs. How can they eat so richly?
It can also be seen from this meal that Qiao Chi is quite kind.
After the meal, Lu Xinyi and the others did not stay long. They drove away under the watch of Qiao Chi and other people in the base.
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 their two bases in the future?"
Qiao Chi nodded and said: "Shuguang Base is an official base. Captain Bi used to be a soldier. Didn't you see that he drove an armored vehicle? Captain Lu has rich supplies, and even Captain Bi respects Captain Lu. Come to think of it. This Captain Lu must be a powerful person. If we go on a mission with them, we will not suffer, but will be very advantageous."
"But..." Lin Yufei bit her lip and said hesitantly, "I think our base is fine now and everyone is safe. Isn't that enough?"
Qiao Chi turned to look at her and said seriously: "Yufei, the end of the world is not as simple as we thought. Although our base is pretty good now, if we just settle for the status quo, we will only end up harming ourselves and everyone."
"Can--"
Qiao Chi interrupted her and said firmly: "Yufei, I have made up my mind, you don't have to say anymore. 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 determined back and felt a little disappointed.
