While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

The others laughed curiously, "What, did you write down your feelings but are too shy to let us know?"

A piece of paper can only be used for writing or drawing.

But they didn't believe that this little robot 123 could create any amazing paintings.

123 glared at them, "What's it to you? That was a gift I gave to the host, not to you."

Seeing that it was angry, everyone quickly laughed and coaxed it, "Okay, we're not curious anymore, we won't look anymore, don't be angry."

Luo Ning patted 123's head and put it on his shoulder.

"Thank you, 123. Don't worry, I won't let them see it."

123 crossed its arms and snorted coldly. If its host hadn't said not to let others know, it wouldn't have to be so secretive. But it assured its host would definitely like the gift.

After 123 finished giving their gifts, the others followed suit.

They were a little apprehensive when they gave the gifts, since there were hardly any good things in the apocalypse.

Luo Ning has no shortage of the most precious grains, jewelry, and gold; she has even more crystal cores than they do.

They can only give the best they can within their capabilities.

Luo Ning didn't think too much about it and accepted their gifts one by one.

The bank also presented another gift.

"This is a birthday present from my grandfather. He asked me to apologize to you because he was too busy to come."

Luo Ning took the brown paper bag. Old Fu had already told her that he was too busy with work to come.

She understood, and besides, it wasn't a big deal; it wasn't like she only had one birthday.

In the end, only Xiao Jie remained unmoved. Luo Ning looked at him and asked, "Didn't he say that the crown wasn't a gift?"

Xiao Jie solemnly took out his gift, feeling a little nervous.

This is a gift he has been preparing for a long time; he doesn't know if she will like it.

Luo Ning accepted the gift box but did not open it on the spot.

After putting their things down, everyone continued chatting, and it was already six o'clock in the evening.

But it was still bright outside.

"This god has really gone mad; he's even lost the distinction between day and night."

Liang Xiao munched on a slice of watermelon and complained that he had forgotten he was someone who needed to sleep, even though it was already daylight.

"This is the apocalypse, what's so abnormal about it? I just hope the extreme weather coming up won't be too unbearable."

Xiao Jingran spoke up, saying that without the changing seasons and distinct day and night, it was quite a change.

"Does your official base have sufficient water reserves?"

Xiao Helin asked Fu Xing how many water cellars he had, and how much water evaporated every day even when it wasn't being used.

"Fortunately, we drilled a few wells at our base back then. Although the water quality and quantity were just average, they were barely enough," Fu Xing replied simply.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Helin knew that he wouldn't tell him the details.

He also knew that his question was somewhat presumptuous.

But the news he received from Luo Ning last time made him somewhat uneasy.

It's unclear how long this high temperature will last, but the water in his base's water cellars evaporates in large quantities every day.

The groundwater sample was tested, but the volume of water obtained was very small and the water quality was poor, requiring purification before it could be used.

He has been worried about the water supply problem lately, but has not yet found a good solution.

Xiao Helin then looked at Luo Ning. The water in the fish pond on her terrace didn't look like it had been stored and put in beforehand.

Where does her water come from?

Luo Ning wasn't afraid of their suspicions. As long as 123 and the expansion space weren't exposed, they could look at the rest as they pleased.

She just moved the potted plants from the terrace to another location yesterday.

Therefore, as long as Xiao Helin and the others don't go inside her corn, wheat, rice, potato, sweet potato, and vegetable boxes, or the orchard she enclosed, they won't be able to discover the location of her extended terrace.

Xiao Helin looked at Fu Xing again, "Captain Fu, what's the price at which your base sells its new research findings?"

Fu Xing paused slightly, then replied, "I'm sorry, these are not within my scope of responsibility. I spend most of my time on missions and don't know much about these things."

Luo Ning's eyes darted around. Wasn't Xiao Helin, that shrewd businessman, supposed to buy things from her? Now he actually wanted to skip her and buy directly from the official store.

However, his plan was likely to fail. As far as she knew, the new machines and potions produced by the government were not even enough for their own use, let alone for sale to others.

But she was different; she still held two contracts with the government.

She can get what others can't.

"Xiao Helin, what do you mean? You just said you'd buy from me, and now you want to skip me and go straight to the supplier?" Luo Ning said with amusement.

Xiao Helin looked at her, puzzled. "Where did I skip you? I still buy vegetables and fruits from you, but I want to buy some advanced weapons. Do you have those here?"

Luo Ning snorted smugly, "Of course, the official weapons, potions, and energy bars they've just developed are in short supply themselves, so they wouldn't sell them to you. But I'm different; I actually have some."

When Fu Xing and the others heard her words, they thought of the two contracts she had signed with the government.

She always manages to get her hands on the new things the base researches before anyone else.

"You have the same bracelet as them?" Xiao Helin asked tentatively.

Luo Ning nodded firmly, "Yes."

"The official base has just developed a new generation of sterilizers, which are even more advanced than those outside."

"have!"

"A newly developed energy bar that lasts for two days after just one serving?"

"have!"

"The latest weapon?"

"have!"

"The latest armored vehicle."

"have"

"The latest humanoid fighter jet?"

"Wait a minute, Miss Luo, we haven't even used the latest humanoid fighter yet, and we've already developed three of them."

Fu Xing quickly stopped him. The humanoid fighter jet was the latest research result. One person could control multiple jets. It could transform and even a sixth-level zombie could not easily penetrate it. It could also automatically collect resources.

The official announcement was just released on the website, but mass production hasn't started yet. Even if Ms. Luo has a contract, there's nothing to sell her.

"What are you afraid of? Aren't you about to start mass production? Reserve a batch for me," Luo Ning said calmly.

Fu Xing had nothing to say. Just as he said, he spent most of his time on missions and didn't really know much about the base.

Let Miss Luo talk about these things with her grandfather later.

Xiao Helin glanced between the two men. Oh well, as long as it can be sold, don't be so curious.

If he were to negotiate with the authorities himself, he might not have any chance at all.

Just as Luo Ning said, the government doesn't even have enough of these things for its own use, so there are none for sale to the outside world.

Even if the technology is mature, they don't have that many raw materials.

In the apocalypse, the most scarce resource is various raw materials.

"Xiao Helin, how is it? Do you still want the things?" Luo Ning sat up straight and asked.

Xiao Helin hesitated for a moment, then said, "If you have it, I'll take it."

Luo Ning chuckled and leaned back on the sofa, with Xiao Jie's arm supporting her from behind, as if enveloping her.

"No problem, we'll talk about it later." Luo Ning said with a smile.

She had already seen the crystal core running towards her.
