Zhang Chenxi was not as quick as Su Tang in accepting the idea of ​​corpse refining. Perhaps, some of his ideas were greatly influenced by his father. As a soldier, his father hated this unorthodox practice.

However, he is still different from his father.

During his time out there, he has been accepting new things, ideas, and concepts.

So he just couldn't figure it out for the moment.

Despite this, he still comforted Qiao Mingmei very well.

Su Tang and Ren Xiao didn't know what he said specifically, but although Qiao Mingmei occasionally looked at Ren Xiao with eyes mixed with fear and disgust, she didn't show any emotion in the end, and she didn't even mention the matter to anyone.

For Ren Xiao, this is enough.

The journey away from the smelting base went relatively smoothly.

Perhaps because they had obtained the supplies, everyone was a little excited and had fewer concerns, so they killed the zombies with great effort. They walked and stopped like this, and it was not until the third day that they left the range of the smelting base.

Back in a relatively safe area, everyone was exhausted.

I fought too hard before.

However, although I was very tired, it was really enjoyable!

Many team members looked at each other and burst into laughter.

After fighting together for so many years, the players of the two teams have established wartime friendships, and the atmosphere between them has become much more harmonious.

Zhang Chenxi and Su Tang were both happy to see this happen.

The materials selected and considered by Su Tang were made public on the night everyone left the smelting base.

That night, all the team members were really excited, but at the same time, they were also quite confused.

Metals and the like are indeed precious, but they are so heavy that it is really hard to take them back!

Of course, it was Qiao Mingmei's team that was in trouble. Because the normal hunting process was for the space ability users in the team to bring the supplies back to the city, and then everyone would distribute them. But the person in their team had died a long time ago, and even the rations for this period were provided by Xue Luo.

Even people like Qiao Mingmei felt embarrassed when they thought about this.

How precious food is in the last days!

Just because others are willing to share with you doesn’t mean you can eat it for free!

Just by looking at Zhang Chenxi's face, Qiao Mingmei couldn't say that she should divide it according to the ratio they had agreed on before.

In the end, only 40% of the supplies were required.

But 40% of it is not something they can carry back with just basic manpower.

Therefore, Qiao Mingmei suggested, "Everyone is very tired after this mission. How about we go to the Hard Rock Base to rest first? There is a contact point for the southern city there. I can quickly find someone to come and get the supplies."

"Of course." Zhang Chenxi smiled and agreed without hesitation. Qiao Mingmei was shaken. Was she worried about my safety? Or was she reluctant to leave?

Well, that’s not the reason at all.

But Su Tang had greeted Zhang Chenxi early in the morning and had to go check on Mo Zifang to prevent him from being harmed silently by Zhang Huimeng again!

So, the group set out again on the road to the Solid Stone Base.

On the way, Su Tang spread the word.

If any team member wants to quickly exchange his or her share of supplies for crystal cores, she might as well purchase them.

This is definitely good news.

Everyone in Xueluo knew how popular the weapons she made were in Central City. No one wanted to miss the opportunity and they all came to her to make their own claims.

"Deputy Captain, how about this? I don't want the supplies, I don't want the crystal cores, I just want a weapon that works better!"

Looking at their flattering faces, Su Tang couldn't help laughing.

"Of course you can, but you also know that it takes a long time for me to make weapons. It's not an assembly line in an arsenal, so it's impossible to get it in one day. According to the current situation, it will take three or four days to make a weapon." Fearing that they were too anxious, Su Tang deliberately gave them extra time. In fact, if they could settle down, two days would be enough for a weapon that was not too complicated.

Seeing that she had agreed, the team members all nodded in delight, "Fine work brings out the best in the work. It's just a matter of waiting. It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time!"

"That's good. All right, make a list and come one by one."

Upon hearing this, the team members immediately became chaotic and no one was willing to give in.

In the end, it was Zhang Chenxi who stopped them with a shout and decided to follow the division of labor among the teams. Those who were often in the vanguard would go first, while the others would wait behind.

Facing Zhang Chenxi's helpless expression, Su Tang smiled slyly. She did it on purpose to make louder noises so that it would be easier to fish!

Sure enough, the team members on Qiao Mingmei's side were extremely curious, and those who had a better relationship with Xue Luo couldn't wait to come and inquire.

They were also very tempted by the good weapons, but then they thought that everyone in Bloodfall had to wait, and they might not get their turn. However, it would be feasible to exchange their own supplies with her for crystal cores, as long as the price was fair. This would save effort and allow them to get closer to her. Maybe they could find out where they were going next, or how to contact them, and maybe they would have time to do so in a few days!

The return journey took almost four days because we were not in a hurry.

During these four days, Qiao Mingmei was extremely anxious.

She knew very well how important these metals were to Southern City and her elder brother Qiao Li, so her original plan was to ask her elder brother's people to come over after arriving at the Hard Stone Base, and recycle them while distributing them.

However, now Su Tang has taken the lead!

I don't have that many crystal cores to compete with her, but I feel suffocated if I don't compete. Now these team members are asking me to distribute supplies in advance... It really hurts my heart!

She gritted her teeth and finally had to go find Zhang Chenxi during her rest period at night.

But the other party said, "Mingmei, it is not convenient for me to interfere with the decision of your team members. Think about it, isn't that the truth? As for Xueluo, this is for the benefit of the team members. If I forcibly prohibit it, the team members will definitely have some ideas. In this way, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future. I believe you should understand my difficulties, right? We have been through so much along the way, and I am sure you also understand that being a captain is not that easy. I am not to blame you, and I am the same."

This... is true.

Thinking about what happened before, Qiao Mingmei couldn't say a word of rebuttal, and could only nod silently and leave the tent. "Oh? I didn't know you had so many difficulties, it's really hard for you!" Qiao Mingmei just now, Su Tang turned around and entered the tent, looking at Zhang Chenxi with a smile, obviously listening to what he said just now.

Zhang Chenxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Hey, hey, can you stop teasing me!"

Su Tang tilted his head slightly, "Actually, I'm just curious, what are you planning to do by coaxing Qiao Mingmei like this? Are you trying to cheat her of her money or her sex?"

"Why are you saying such harsh things? I never lied to her. I just said things in a tactful and reserved way sometimes..." He rolled his eyes, "Hey, why are you saying such harsh things? Are you jealous?"

Su Tang snorted coldly, "Damn jealous! Don't tell me you didn't see that she was attracted to you. Even if Xue Luo needs to maintain good relations with other bases, there is no need to use this method! In short, you should be indifferent and stop teasing her. Do you think Qiao Li is a vegetarian? Be careful that he forces you to be his brother-in-law!"

Zhang Chenxi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "You said that I hadn't thought about it before, but it would be nice to marry this woman!"

This time it was Su Tang's turn to be stunned.

"You, are you kidding me? Qiao Mingmei is not a bad person, but sometimes she is so stupid that it makes people want to cry. Are you sure you have such a strong will?"

Zhang Chenxi smiled and blinked, "Of course it's a joke!"

Su Tang heaved a sigh of relief and dropped the topic. "Okay, let's get serious. I came to you to talk about building our own base in Xueluo."

"Well, it's time. Do you have an idea?" Zhang Chenxi also became serious.

After a long silence, Su Tang looked into his eyes and said word by word, "Smelting base."

Zhang Chenxi's eyes twitched suddenly, and he opened his mouth after a moment, "Can I say that I had this ominous premonition? Seeing the obsessed look in your eyes when you were looking at those blast furnaces, I felt something was wrong, but I didn't expect you to dare to say it out loud!"

Su Tang disagreed, "Why not? There is a ready-made smelting base there. We only need to repair it and then we can start working. By then, let alone our own weapons, we can sell them to other bases. You won't have to worry about anything! What's more, the place is big enough. I roughly estimated that if it really needs to be expanded, it will be no problem to accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people. This does not include the military base next to it. If there are more people in the future, we can develop on both sides. Anyway, the land is vast and sparsely populated, it's very convenient!"

Zhang Chenxi stroked his forehead and sighed.

"Still working? What do you have and who do you want to start working? First, we don't have ore, and second, we don't have equipment. Do you think repairing these special equipment is as easy as building a house? Besides, even if they are repaired, who will use them? Smelting is not a job that everyone can do! Please calm down and think about it carefully!"

Su Tang was not angry when he refuted him. He had guessed that this would be the case, so he was prepared to persuade him.

However, this would inevitably require revealing one's secret.

Is this also a test for Zhang Chenxi?

perhaps……

She smiled and said, "I want to tell you something..."

When she really started to talk about the main topics such as the minerals and wheat seeds in the space, Zhang Chenxi began to become dazed.

After a long time, Su Tang finished speaking, but he still couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"This is incredible! You mean... you grew those wheat? And you can save seeds from them?"

Su Tang nodded. "According to Yuan Huimeng, we can still grow a crop on these polluted lands now, but I'm afraid that won't work in the future. But if we have plenty of seeds, we don't need to worry about this problem."

Afterwards, she continued to talk about her ideas about the base.

"Not only wheat, I also plan to try other seeds, including grain and cotton. So, even if we use up all the ore in the smelting base and can't find more, we still have a lot of things to do besides smelting. For example, we can build a cloth factory, a food processing factory... In addition, I think our base should be different from other bases. We don't wait for people to come to us, but actively recruit those who have skills. This is more targeted. Also, there are certain rules for settling in the base..."
