Chapter 272 I Exchange Grain

Several people in the team had followed Huo Ling to dig rocks on the seabed. After seeing the white-haired woman behind the captain, they

Several people had a look of surprise on their faces, and then they looked away, no longer daring to look at Shen Xun.

"Well, I'm back. I encountered something just now and wasted some time. You all should go and do your work. No one is allowed to go up to the second floor without my order."

"Yes, Captain," everyone agreed.

Then Huo Ling singled out two people from the team and guarded them at the entrance to the stairs on the second floor.

"Please come upstairs," Huo Ling stepped onto the stairs first, followed closely by Shen Xun.

There is no furniture on the second floor. There is a burning stove and a few stone-carved stools in the room.

The stools were cushioned with several pieces of alienated animal skins, and an entire wall of wood was stacked in the corner of the room.

They were stacked neatly. Huo Ling bent down to pick up the wood placed by the stove and threw it into the stove.

The fire rushed upward instantly, and the wood burned and crackled.

"Just sit down wherever you want." After returning to her own territory, Huo Ling was obviously more relaxed and asked Shen Xun to sit down.

There was a knock on the door, and a team member stood by the door. Huo Ling stepped forward to open it, took the kettle from the team member's hand, and put it on the stove.

Sizzling, the snowflakes stuck around the kettle were roasted by the fire and made a sound.

After the two sat down, Huo Ling looked at Shen Xun and fiddled with the firewood in the stove from time to time with the iron stick in her hand.

"What do you want to change..." Huo Ling raised her eyes and looked at Shen Xun. The face that took off the goggles looked even more childish.

No sunburn or frostbite, he seems to be living a pretty good life.

"Jing Neng...," Shen Xun slowly uttered two words. The iron pick in Huo Ling's hand paused for a moment, and she looked at Shen Xun with an inquiring gaze.

The matter of crystal energy is not a secret to her, but most people have no access to it.

Those who know about crystal energy can more or less have some status in the base. "What do you have?"

Huo Ling looked squarely at Shen Xun. She could indeed get the crystal energy, but if Shen Xun knew that thing, he should know its value.

The manpower, material resources and materials used, if the exchange conditions given by Shen Xun, failed to reach the value she had estimated in her heart.

Then she won't agree to change it.

"I can exchange grain for crystal energy," Shen Xun said calmly. She and Huo Ling were the only two people in the room.

"Food," Huo Ling's fingers holding the iron pick tightened. If crystal energy was exchanged for grain, how much grain could be exchanged for it.

There are only over 80,000 people in the Sunset Base. If we change the food supply and save one province, we can have enough food for a long time.

There are exactly three pieces of crystal energy in the base. In the current situation, it is not impossible to replace them with one.

"What kind of food are you talking about," Huo Ling said. In the last four years of the last days, the extreme weather is no longer suitable for planting.

Without water or food, it can be said that one bite is less than the next.

What kind of food could she be talking about?

"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, rice, flour," Shen Xun said slowly. Unexpectedly, Huo Ling could really make the decision.

With a crash, Huo Ling stood up from the stool and looked at Shen Xun blankly. Did she hear it right?

Rice, flour.

The kettle on the stove seemed to be ringing, making a loud noise. Huo Ling picked up the handkerchief placed aside.

He poured a glass of hot water for Shen Xun, his attitude was obviously much warmer than before.

"When can you give me the things?" Shen Xun blew the foam floating in the cup, if the transaction took too long.

She was not prepared to cooperate with Huo Ling.

"Ten days, do you think that's okay?" Huo Ling refilled Shen Xun's cup with hot water and food.

After eating alienated insects for nearly a year, the taste in my mouth has almost faded away.

"Ten days is too long," Shen Xun refused.

"Then eight days, do you think eight days is okay?" Huo Ling gritted her teeth and reduced it to two more days.

She could get the crystal energy, but it would take some time. Shen Xun nodded, "Okay, eight days then. I'll come back to you after eight days."

"Okay," I personally escorted Shen Xun out. This time, Shen Xun walked in front and Huo Ling followed.

Seeing the obscene smile on their captain's face, everyone felt a chill.

After leaving Sunset Base, Shen Xun's figure disappeared in front of Huo Ling's eyes in the blink of an eye, "Walk slowly...".

Huo Ling had a pleasant smile on her face. She had been dealing with this kind of people all year round. Shen Xun's words just now were partly true and partly false.

She could naturally tell the difference, and the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears. Huo Ling hummed a song and turned around to return to the base.

Say hello to everyone you see along the way.

"Captain Huo, why are you so happy?" Seeing Huo Ling actually greeting him, the survivor said flattered.

"It's nothing, I'll leave first," Huo Ling walked away.

Tengman was born and supported his body. After Shen Xun walked across the beach, his figure appeared on the reef the next second.

The road back was easy and we arrived back at the fort before dark.

Snow as thick as two fingers had accumulated on his hat and shoulders. Shen Xun took off his clothes and shook the snow into the vegetable garden.
