286 Who Is Willing to Exchange Their Lives for Food for Everyone

At the top of the exchange table were grains and seeds. Especially seeds. It had been more than three years since the apocalypse, and it was not easy to find seeds that were not damaged and could be planted successfully. Therefore, the exchange price for them was very high. One jin of seeds could be exchanged for 100 contribution points.

When people were extremely hungry, no one cared much. As long as there was no poison in the food, they would eat it. The base needed seeds to develop new species. In this case, seeds were naturally very valuable. Du Yue was initially worried that 1,500 contribution points might be a little difficult to obtain. However, it seemed that it was rather easy now. However, Du Yue did not express her thoughts. After all, Yu Xinya was the one who wanted to rent the house, not her. The most important thing was whether Yu Xinya could take out enough materials to exchange for 1,500 contribution points.

Yu Xinya was still staring at the exchange table. Du Yue saw that she was frowning, so she did not urge her and just waited quietly. After a few minutes, Yu Xinya looked away. Du Yue knew that it was not convenient to talk here, so she did not ask her. When the three of them returned to the car, Du Yue asked Yu Xinya, “Are you able to exchange supplies for 1,500 contribute points?”

Yu Xinya nodded and smiled. “Yes, we brought a lot of dried seafood. I think the price of seafood and meat is very high. We should be able to pay for a year’s rent.”

Du Yue suddenly remembered that Yu Xinya’s base was built near the sea! As the chief of the base, Yu Xinya was very diligent. Every day, she would bring the young men out to sea to fish, and every time, they would get a good harvest. It was impossible for them to eat all the food every time, so most of them were stored away after being dried. Previously, they could only be used as food to fill their stomachs, but now, they could be used to exchange for contribution points.

“That’s great!” Du Yue was happy for them from the bottom of her heart. As expected, as long as one was diligent enough, one would not be afraid of starving to death no matter where they went! After inquiring about the price of the rental house and how to exchange contribution points, the three of them did not continue to stroll outside and returned to the large courtyard. Although they had only been out for a short while, they were still a little worried that something had happened over there.

In less than ten minutes, the three of them rushed back. As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, they heard a commotion inside. The three of them frowned at the same time. He Xing did not step on the brakes and drove the car directly into the courtyard. The farther they went, the more obvious the noise became. After a while, Du Yue saw the source of the noise.

The bustling crowd surrounded the cars from Sunshine Base, confronting the people from Sunshine Base. The atmosphere was tense, and no one was willing to give in. Du Yue felt that if this group of survivors had not seen the gun in Wan Dapeng’s hand, they would have rushed forward. The car drove up to them, and the sound of the engine attracted everyone’s attention. The people stopped arguing and looked over.

As soon as the car stopped, Yu Xinya pushed the door open and rushed out, “What are you doing?!”

Seeing Yu Xinya, a man with a big waist walked out from the crowd, his face full of impatience, “Be smart and tell your men to hand over the supplies, or don’t blame us for taking them by force! I’m telling you, don’t try to scare us with guns. How many bullets can a broken gun that came from God knows where have in it? Do you think you can kill us all?”

Du Yue turned to look at He Xing. “Don’t you think we’ve heard these words before?”

He Xing tried his best to hold back his laughter. “Yes. When we went to Qinghe City, the survivors threatened us in the same way.”

“It’s the end of the world, and the second base is so far away from Qinghe. There’s no internet communication either. How are these people threatening and scaring people with the same words?”

He Xing was also puzzled by this question.

Du Yue and He Xing got out of the car and opened the trunk. They took out two submachine guns and pointed them at the man who had just spoken. “You’re right. It might not be realistic to kill all of you, but take a guess. How many bullets do we need to kill you first?”

“Or you can ask the people around you who’s willing to die for everyone and use their own lives in exchange for food for everyone so that everyone else can live happily. Is there anyone willing to do so?”
