The two walked out chatting happily, while Wang Hu outside looked completely bewildered.

Why did they look like they were about to fight just now, and now they're talking about selling vegetables and fruits?

What exactly does the boss want to do?

One minute he's pursuing her, the next he's telling him to get ready to make a move.

The two of them walked out smiling again.

When Xiao Helin went out, the indoor temperature was 16 degrees Celsius, and the back of his neck was covered in sweat.

The main reason was that her posture was too intimidating, especially with so many people surrounding her.

She remained calm and composed, as confident as if she were in her own living room.

He didn't dare to make the first move, even if he actually won today.

But he didn't forget the footage the drone had transmitted back then.

There are two people inside, a mutated cat, a mutated dog, and a mutated robot.

She's here with the mutated robot now; he didn't see the man or the cat and dog.

"Boss Xiao, weren't you going to show me around the unique streets of your base?"

Having gotten what she wanted, Luo Ning resumed her innocent demeanor, smiling broadly as she looked at Xiao Helin.

Xiao Helin's biggest regret now is that he pretended to be generous and said he would give her something, or that he would take her out for a walk, or even earlier when he let her into the base.

They lost ten weapons and twenty boxes of ammunition.

He wasn't lying; these things were truly all painstakingly brought back from abroad, one by one.

I wondered if there was anything good on the streets of the base, so as not to give her any more ideas.

After careful consideration, he provided a place on the base street.

The rest of the transactions were done by people from the base; no matter what, she couldn't take his entire plate with her.

He confidently led the group toward the base's street.

Luo Ning went there and discovered that the streets were exactly the same as before the apocalypse.

There was a passageway between the two rows of houses, filled with all sorts of resource crystals.

It was bustling with people; there were quite a lot of them.

The street fell silent the moment Xiao Helin appeared.

People stood up and bowed to him.

"Boss Xiao!"

"Greetings, Base Commander!"

"Hello, boss!"

They had all sorts of names, but everyone treated Xiao Helin with respect, and some even had a hint of fear in their eyes.

Xiao Helin waved to those people and then smiled at Luo Ning.

"Miss Luo, you flatter me. Some of the people here have been with me since before the apocalypse, while others joined our base after the apocalypse, so they have all sorts of names."

Luo Ning didn't care what people called him; she looked at the supplies laid out around her.

There are quite a few varieties: meat, compressed biscuits, chocolate, salt, sugar, rice, grains, gold, and crystal cores.

They have everything, but Luo Ning really doesn't lack any of these things.

However, this also shows that the people in this base are indeed wealthier than those in the official base.

These supplies can be freely exchanged.

"Host, with so many supplies, will they still buy things from us in the future?"

123 asked Luo Ning in his mind, "These people can easily exchange supplies, so why would they buy food from them?"

Luo Ning inwardly scoffed at it, "We need to learn to be flexible and adaptable; there's a different way to do business in every place."

"Take a close look at those people selling food here, see if anyone is buying anything."

123 obediently responded, then looked around again, "Yes, there are quite a lot."

"That's right, those people's things can all be sold, so why can't mine be sold? There are sellers and buyers, which means that funds are circulating here, and it also means that these people have crystal cores and some treasures that can be exchanged."

We'll have a much wider variety of products than these people, so why would we worry about not being able to sell them? It doesn't matter whose products we buy from.

Besides, who has more supplies than me? In a few months, I don't believe these people will still have supplies to sell.

Then this entire market will be ours.

Luo Ning became more and more excited; this trip had been worthwhile.

Not only did they find ten weapons and twenty boxes of ammunition for free, but they also discovered a large supply depot and a large market.

Luo Ning turned to look at Xiao Helin, "Boss Xiao!"

Xiao Helin was startled when he heard her call him that.

"Miss Luo, these things don't belong to me. I only own this piece of land, and I can't just give you someone else's things. That's against the rules, isn't it?"

Luo Ning rolled her eyes inwardly. It's the apocalypse, and he dares to establish his own base on a piece of land. Why is he still talking to her about whether it's in accordance with the rules?

"Boss Xiao, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to steal from others?"

Xiao Helin's lips twitched. "You weren't? You just stole ten weapons and twenty boxes of bullets from me."

Or you could tell them you're not.

Luo Ning showed no shame whatsoever when faced with Xiao Helin's accusing expression.

"Boss Xiao, I wanted to tell you that, as I just mentioned, I want to open a shop to sell my surplus fruits and vegetables. I see that there's a lot of foot traffic here, so I'm thinking of opening a shop here. What do you think, Boss Xiao?"

Hearing her say that, Xiao Helin felt relieved.

She cleared her throat. "So that's what Miss Luo meant! That's fine, but..."

Luo Ning knew he wouldn't agree so easily, and stared at him intently, "But what? Boss Xiao, don't beat around the bush."

Xiao Helin finally regained his footing, straightened his suit, and said, "Miss Luo, it's not that I don't want you to open a shop here, it's just that this street isn't managed by me alone, it's jointly managed by several of our bases, so you understand why you're opening a shop or setting up a stall here."

Xiao Helin rubbed his fingers together.

Luo Ning laughed. She was joking; she was already used to buying things for free in the apocalypse.

Once the crystal core is in her hands, there's still a reason to take it away.

You can let her take it out, it depends on her mood.

If I'm in a good mood, I'll give you face and we'll do a fair trade.

When I'm in a bad mood, I don't care who you are, I'll beat you up first, and if one time isn't enough, I'll beat you up twice.

Now that things have turned out this way, she doesn't want to give Xiao Helin that face.

Xiao Helin looked at her cold smile but didn't budge. He was the one who couldn't control his mouth in the armory earlier.

He absolutely cannot let her take advantage of him again, otherwise how will he establish his authority at the base in the future?

"Miss Luo, let's stop here. Although it's the apocalypse, our base isn't a place you can just come and go as you please."

123 was anxious. "Host, what should we do now? He seems like someone we shouldn't mess with. Maybe we should just let it go. We can afford to pay those crystal cores anyway."

Luo Ning sneered inwardly, "He suffered a great loss at the armory just now. If he gains the upper hand now, do you think he won't make up for what he lost at the armory?"

"What can we do then, host? If he doesn't agree, there's nothing we can do."

"No way? 123, you still don't understand the apocalypse well enough. The most valuable hard currency in the apocalypse is not crystal cores, but strength. My confidence comes from the fact that I am stronger than him."
