Chen Lun immediately understood what Lan Ke meant. He looked at Lan Ke in surprise and asked, "What do you want me to do in exchange for letting him go?"
"It's a bit early to talk about this now. Let's talk about something else first." Lan Ke suddenly changed the subject, "For example, is it time to redeem the aid and rewards you owe?"
Chen Lun felt helpless. He looked at Lan Ke who seemed to be smiling, and suddenly realized that what he said just now was just a bait thrown by Lan Ke so that she could get more favorable conditions in the next negotiation.
But even though he knew Lan Ke was threatening him, he had to compromise.
He was not lying just now, nor was he unable to understand Lan Ke's anger, but Chu Jia's water-based ability was very useful to the military base, and he could not let this woman die unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even though what she did was disgusting to him, he still had to do his best to protect her out of duty.
Chen Lun took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it and placed it on the table: "This is the list of supplies that the military base has approved for Wuji Base. You can take a look."
Lan Ke picked up the list and glanced at it, saying disdainfully, "Is that all? Most of it is weapons and clothes, but there is no food? Do you want us to starve?"
Chen Lun was dissatisfied: "I remember that there was food in the previous batch of relief supplies, and you have seized it... accepted it, right?"
"There's only a thousand kilograms of rice in total. How long will it last?" Lan Ke rolled her eyes in disgust. This amount of food was not even enough for her to gain from a robbery.
Chen Lun was helpless: "The military base needs to rescue all the small bases in the area. It's good enough to be able to give you so much rice. If you run out of food in the future, you can apply to the military base, but not now."
Although the military base has stored a large amount of food, no one knows how long this apocalypse will last or what the future will be like. They cannot distribute all the existing food to the small bases.
Lan Ke also understood this truth, so she stopped while she was ahead and did not continue to dwell on this issue. According to her experience in her previous life, in the early days of the apocalypse, the military base did support nearby small bases several times, but later it could no longer sustain itself, so this kind of food aid stopped.
"Well, I'm a magnanimous person, so I won't bother with you." Lan Ke pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Should we talk about compensation now? Your people shot at me as soon as they arrived at Wuji Base, leaving a strong psychological trauma on me and my teammates. Shouldn't we be given some spiritual compensation?"
Hearing this, even though Chen Lun had a good temper, he was furious: "Those guns..."
"Aren't those guns gifts?" Lan Ke pretended to be innocent again.
Chen Lun's forehead was throbbing with veins. He finally suppressed his anger and said helplessly, "How about this? I can give you two more heavy machine guns, no more!"
"Never mind. Two is enough. I have a good temper and a soft heart. But you have to send us some more bullets. You can't let us fire empty-handed. Well, I don't want more. 100,000 rounds will be enough."
"100,000? Why don't you just go and rob?" Xu Jian shouted excitedly, "10,000 at most, no more!"
As for Chen Lun? He was now so angry at Lan Ke that he couldn't speak.
"Okay, okay, 10,000 is 10,000. Really, two grown men actually teamed up to bully a little girl like me, aren't you ashamed?"
If you are not ashamed, why should we be ashamed
Chen Lun and Xu Jian roared in their hearts at the same time. They were almost exhausted by Lan Ke's annoyance.
Pang Dahai was silently installing the sculptures on the side. He was now completely impressed by Lan Ke.
Suddenly, Lan Ke asked Xu Jian and Chen Lun, "By the way, do you have fresh vegetables in your base?"
The two immediately became alert, fearing that Lan Ke would continue to ask for too much, Xu Jian hurriedly said, "What time is it now? There are no green vegetables in our base, forget it."
Speaking of this, the two felt unhappy. The senior officials of the military base also realized that they could not live off the land, so they reclaimed the nearby fields and built greenhouses.
As the seedlings were sprouting, the situation was getting better and better, and then a snowstorm occurred!
As the snowstorm raged, the greenhouses that had been built were blown away in an instant, and all the seedlings inside were frozen to death.
It can be said that the military base suffered heavy losses this time. Not only were all the greenhouses destroyed by the blizzard, but the simple board houses were also blown down by the blizzard, and the survivors living inside suffered heavy casualties.
In addition, there are also people who suffered frostbite or froze to death because the weather was too cold.
He had looked at the casualty statistics, and the figures were so shocking that even a heartless person like him felt uncomfortable after reading them.
"Really?" Lan Ke looked at Xu Jian and Chen Lun suspiciously.
"Absolutely not!" Xu Jian said firmly.
"You name a price, and I'll buy it."
Now it was Xu Jian and Chen Lun's turn to be suspicious. Why did Lan Ke suddenly become so easy to talk to? Did she like eating vegetables
Xu Jian hesitated for a moment, thinking that this was a trap. He couldn't be fooled by Lan Ke, so he insisted: "If I say no, it means no. I won't sell it even if you give me 10,000 rounds of bullets."
Unexpectedly, Lan Ke suddenly changed the subject and said, "I can sell them to you! Juicy white radishes and celery, do you want them?"
Now, Xu Jian and Chen Lun were completely dumbfounded.
Lan Ke deliberately asked so many questions, and she actually wanted to do vegetable business with them! What on earth was she thinking
Do they look like they're here to buy groceries
Chen Lun instinctively refused: "We don't..."
Xu Jian asked at the same time: "10,000 bullets weigh 100 kilograms, will you sell them?"
"Colonel Xu, how could you do this?" Chen Lun looked at Xu Jian in surprise, trying to stop him. "Colonel Xu, please don't make things more complicated."
Of course, what he really wanted to say was, don't waste bullets!
"Shut up!" Xu Jian glared at him warningly and continued to negotiate with Lan Ke, "If you're willing to sell it at that price, I'll take as many as you have!"
The vegetables in the military base have been almost eaten up. If this batch of vegetables is shipped back, the top brass will be absolutely overjoyed!
Chen Lun is such an idiot that he doesn't even know what the people above him are thinking. No wonder he is still a colonel after so many years!
Chen Lun couldn't stop Xu Jian, so he had to say, "Captain Lan, I have another purpose for coming here this time, which is to recruit a group of survivors to enter the military base. Can you give me some convenience?"
He said this with great lack of confidence. After all, it was really unfair to poach someone and ask them to help pass the shovel to you.
However, to his surprise, Lan Ke actually agreed.
