Everyone stopped and looked back, and saw a woman in her sixties walking out of the crowd with a little boy about ten years old.

Lu Xinyi recognized this person.

It was the woman who first questioned them when they first arrived at the library and tried to drive them away in a tough manner.

Now that I think about it, the woman's attitude at the time was probably that she didn't want them to be fooled by Zhao Qi and wanted to drive them all away.

The woman came forward, looked at Bi Jing pleadingly, and said, "Captain, can my grandson and I go with you? We want to go to the base you mentioned."

In fact, she had long since stopped wanting to stay in this library.

But if the two of them, the old and the young, were separated from the main group, they would probably not survive even half a day.

The woman had always disapproved of Zhao Qi's practice of killing and robbing, but they enjoyed the food Zhao Qi distributed to them. This made the woman suffer every day, and she felt that she was an accomplice in the evil.

Now that Zhao Qi is dead, there is no need for them to stay here.

Moreover, the Dawn Base mentioned by the captain must be much better than here.

She didn't care about other people, she just wanted to take her grandson to the Dawn Base.

Fearing that Bi Jing would refuse, the woman spoke again, her voice somewhat panicked: "Captain, please take us away."

Bi Jing looked at the grandparents and grandchildren. Both of them were very thin, with pale faces and skin and bones. It was obvious that they were suffering from long-term malnutrition.

Although the little boy was ten years old, he looked very timid. He clung to the corner of his grandmother's clothes tightly, looking terrified.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Who else wants to go with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several more people stood up, including two children.

Bi Jing looked at these people, then at the others, and said, "I'll ask one last time, is there anyone who wants to go with me?"

This time, no one stood up.

"Okay then." Bi Jing turned to the woman and the others and said, "Come with me."

When the woman saw that he agreed, she hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Captain, thank you, Captain!"

Seeing Bi Jing and his men about to leave, the old man panicked and shouted, "Do you really want to follow these people? They are the murderers who killed Zhao Qi and others! Do you know where he is taking you?"

Seeing that they didn't answer, the old man was so angry that he yelled, "You ungrateful bastards, have you forgotten how Zhao Qi treated you? If it weren't for Zhao Qi, you would have died long ago. How could you be here today?"

When the woman heard this, she stopped and looked back, saying seriously, "Yes, Zhao Qi did give us a bite to eat so that we wouldn't starve to death, but that was all. He killed and robbed people, his hands were stained with blood, and he took back so much supplies, but in the end, what did we get? He just gave us some food casually."

"Zhao Qi didn't abandon us, he just wanted us to submit to him. He just wanted to enjoy the power! Do you really think he treats you as his own? If he treats you as his own, why doesn't he give you more food? Aren't you still eating the same thing as us every day?"

After saying this, the woman no longer paid attention to the old man, and took her grandson and followed Bi Jing's footsteps.

The old man and others stared at the group of people leaving, all of them falling into confusion.

Yes, if Zhao Qi treated them as his own people, why did they still eat so badly?

When they came downstairs just now, they saw a mountain of supplies piled on Zhao Qi's body. That was a lot of food.

But they had never seen these foods before.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned complicated when they looked at Zhao Qi's body.

Lu Xinyi and the others didn't know or care about these people's reactions.

After leaving the library, Bi Jing arranged those people on the bus, and he drove the bus himself, driving in the center of the team.

There were four cars coming here and five cars going back, all the way out of the city in a mighty manner.

We returned to the Dawn Base safely.

Bi Jing asked Fang Rong to take those people to the ordinary residential area in Area A for resettlement, and then he turned his gaze to Lu Xinyi, Ji Yunzhe and others.

"Would you please come in and have a cup of tea?"

“No need.” Ji Yunzhe declined, “It’s getting late. We plan to go back first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to travel after dark.”

Lu Xinyi also said: "We are ready to leave too."

Bi Jing heard this and did not dissuade him, saying, "Then I will not keep you all."

After saying goodbye to each other, Lu Xinyi, Ji Yunzhe and others were about to leave.

Before leaving, Lu Xinyi suddenly stopped, thought for two seconds and said, "Captain Bi, Captain Ji, let's make another deal."

Hearing her words, they both became curious and looked at her, saying in unison, "What deal?"

"The Dawn Base has a large population, so the demand for food must be huge," Lu Xinyi said. "Although there aren't many people in the Rising Sun Base right now, if Captain Ji wants to expand the Rising Sun Base, he will definitely continue to recruit survivors, which will also require food."

"Unfortunately, I have no shortage of food. So, if you want food, you can trade with me in exchange for crystal cores. If you want supplies other than food, as long as I have them, you can trade with me."

Before the end of the world, she stored a lot of supplies in the space.

After the end of the world, she also stockpiled a lot of supplies during the sweep of grain warehouses, shopping malls, supermarkets, etc.

What's more, the land in her space can also grow her own food and vegetables.

Food is the thing she has the least of all.

There are not many people in the oasis base, and they can farm, so it doesn't consume much food at all.

The food in her space would just be sitting there anyway, so she might as well trade it with the two of them.

Firstly, it would prevent the people in their two bases from starving or freezing, and secondly, she would be able to obtain more crystal cores.

Her words surprised Bi Jing and Ji Yunzhe.

In today's world, no one is unaware of the importance of materials.

But now, Lu Xinyi was actually willing to trade supplies with them.

This means that she has a lot of supplies.

For a moment, both of them couldn't help but feel curious about how big her space capacity was.

After a moment of silence, Ji Yunzhe was the first to speak: "Thank you Captain Lu for your kindness, but we don't have many people in our base right now, and the supplies we collected today are enough for us to use for a while. When we are running low on supplies, we will come to Captain Lu to make a deal."

Lu Xinyi didn't object and nodded slightly.

Since she decided to do business with their two bases, it was not a one-time transaction, but a long-term transaction.

Turning her gaze to Bi Jing, she asked, "Captain Bi, what do you think? Are you willing to make a deal with me?"
