“I know, Mom, I didn’t say anything important,”
Lin Xiuyuan pulled away from Huang Yunxiang’s hand, feeling only surprised because he had never earned so many Crystal Cores before.
When Su Jin entered the Space again, she saw Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying packing the grain they had harvested into the empty grain bags from the past few days. Previously, they hadn’t had any bags, so the grain had just been left in the Space, but now it seemed the elderly couple had packed quite a few bags already.
“Grandpa and Grandma, you’ve been busy these past few days as well, why don’t you take a break?”
Su Jin said, noting that ever since her grandparents entered the Space, they had started making pancakes and even helped sell goods outside the Space during the day. She was really worried they might overexert themselves.
However, seeing Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying looking red-cheeked and content, Su Jin felt relieved; it seemed they were enjoying themselves.
“Xiao Jin, we’re not tired at all. Look over there, another batch of wheat is about to ripen in a few days,”
Li Xiuying pointed toward the Spirit Field in the Space, where the wheat looked like it was about to turn golden. If they didn’t pack away the grain before then, there wouldn’t be room for the next batch to mature.
Once others entered the Space, Su Jin and everyone quickly started helping out.
With Su Jin’s help, everyone just needed to hold the bags, as she could fill them using her mind, making the task much faster to complete.
“We’ve been selling for so many days now, and it looks like we’ve only used up part of the grain,”
Lin Cheng said after checking around the storage area.
“What’s there to worry about? It’s not going to spoil, and all this is thanks to everyone’s hard work,”
Lu Guanhai said while eating his own tomatoes, which tasted sweet and sour, and with a crisp cucumber, it was a perfect match.
“Old Lu, your skills in growing vegetables are getting more and more impressive,”
Nie Qing said, giving a thumbs up. The tomatoes were indeed delicious.
Before long, other family members in the base also gradually came into the Space. Mao Zhihang was shocked to hear about the few days’ earnings of the group, but what surprised him even more was that there was nowhere else to buy grain.
“No wonder more and more people are flooding into the base. The first thing they do is come to our store to buy grain,”
Mao Zhihang said.
“Ah, these people must be scared of starving. Look how thin everyone outside is now,”
Lin Yunguo also said, noting that in this world, grain is the most important.
Su Jin and others had also heard about what Mao Qiqi and Lian Jiyue had been doing these days, venturing out to kill zombies and complete tasks. The pair had managed to complete a red-level task every day, which was truly impressive.
“Mm, Sister Xiao Jin, let me tell you, my Level Three Special Ability is really powerful, it can incapacitate a person instantly,”
Mao Qiqi said proudly.
“Did you run into any troublemakers?”
Lu Hao asked after hearing this.
Mao Qiqi stuck out her tongue; her brother-in-law really couldn’t be kept in the dark about anything, even though she had said only one sentence about it.
“What?! You ran into that group of Crystal Core robbers?”
Lin Tianzhen and Mao Zhihang were also completely unaware of this. If Lu Hao hadn’t asked, Mao Qiqi might have repeated the day’s events, and they would still think their daughter had only killed zombies.
No wonder Qiqi had confidently told them earlier that she wouldn’t run into that group again. It turned out they had already dealt with them.
“They weren’t very strong, Xiao Yue and I took them down in just a few moves,”
Mao Qiqi said.
“You must have been lucky, maybe you only encountered part of their team,”
Su Jin said, remembering that she had heard from the base that those people were part of a large team and were likely not from inside the base.
“Anyway, you two can’t go that far anymore, understand?”
Lin Tianzhen said in an accusing tone, knowing that even if she told them not to go out, they would still sneak out anyway, so it was better to keep reminding them.
“Understood, Mom.”
Mao Qiqi reached for a bright red, round tomato as she spoke.
…
When Zhang Xiaohong and the others were about to leave, everyone in the industrial park desperately scraped together their last Crystal Core, trying to exchange it for as many supplies as possible.
“Xiaohong, you all must come back after a while, we will surely save up more Crystal Cores,”
a middle-aged man who had exchanged a few kilograms of grain said.
“Sister Xiaohong, this is for you,”
Xiao Zhen took out a few colorful paintings, which they had drawn with the brushes Sister Xiaohong had given them. Sister Xiaohong had not only given them brushes but also a set of books, reminding them not to forget human knowledge.

“Thank you, I really like it,”
Su Jin unfolded the top painting, which depicted each of them, all smiling brightly, with a rising sun in the background and green grass below…
“Hmm, it’s much better than the ones Qiqi drew,”
Lu Hao commented, and the family couldn’t help but nod vigorously; indeed, it was much better than Qiqi’s drawings.
There were a few other paintings by different children, each one filled with heartfelt effort.
After accepting those paintings, Su Jin also gave some pencils and paper to the children. The S City Base had already started offering small classes, aimed at providing mental nourishment, but life was really tough for the kids here. Su Jin hoped they wouldn’t grow up to be illiterate with empty minds.
The courtyard of the industrial park was packed with people who had come to see them off. It was the first time Su Jin and the others received such grand treatment. Cai Jianbin, Qi Liangliang, and others were also present; Cai Jianbin had now become the head of the industrial park, but he knew that this honor was all thanks to Zhang Xiaohong and her companions.
“Thank you all, have a safe journey,”
Cai Jianbin sincerely said.
“Take care of this place, we’ll be back,”
Su Jin said before she and her family quickly walked out of the industrial park.
Given the many people watching from behind, Su Jin simply pulled out a minibus from her Space and then left the place.
…
City A wasn’t a very large city before the Apocalypse. The family, who had thought they could reach City D smoothly that day, found their path blocked by a group of people halfway there.
“It seems there is still someone in the industrial park who leaked the information,”
Lu Hao said with an unhappy expression, although they had anticipated such situations before. In fact, they had been prepared ever since the Base Leader from City A first sent people to “invite” them.
“Xiuyuan, it’s up to you next,”
Su Jin said, looking at the more than a hundred people ahead.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa and Grandma, I’ll put on a big show for you. Make sure to watch closely,”
Lin Xiuyuan said with a smile.
“Alright, we’ll be watching,”
Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo specially found a seat by the window; they had always watched through video calls on their phones, but today they would finally see a live performance.
Jiao Hong watched the oncoming bus, based on the information provided by his people, it was indeed this beige-colored bus.
He was eager to see just who Zhang Xiaohong and Chen Daming were. Today, he had to personally invite them.
