Zheng Wen’an didn’t know what words to use to describe his current mood, if asked, he’d say it was extremely depressing.

He didn’t believe Shen Zhigui would actually sell them supplies, but the situation now was that, apart from Shen Zhigui and his group, they couldn’t find anyone else to sell them the supplies.

Looking for someone from the base might cost them more than double the price compared to Shen Zhigui’s group, and the things they got wouldn’t be as good as the cheapest steamed buns from Jianglin Hotel.

So Zheng Wen’an would rather be swindled by Shen Zhigui and his group than trade with the base for supplies.

After some internal struggle, Zheng Wen’an, along with Jiang Zhenzhen and Liu Yiyi, approached the place where Shen Zhigui and his group had parked.

Shen Zhigui and his group quickly noticed the three people walking toward them.

Everyone knew each other, and a smiling face wouldn’t be hit with a slap, so it wasn’t easy for Shen Zhigui and his group to directly drive people away.

"Mr. Shen, Miss Jin, long time no see."

After all, he was asking for a favor, so the smile on Zheng Wen’an’s face grew even brighter.

"We just met at the entrance of Jianglin Hotel this morning."

Shen Zhigui knew how to make biting remarks.

Zheng Wen’an awkwardly laughed: "Mr. Shen, you’re joking. I’ve come here today with a request that’s a bit of an imposition."

Shen Zhigui raised an eyebrow, signaling Zheng Wen’an to continue.

"Since you know it’s a bit of an imposition, there’s no need to ask."

Shen Zhigui didn’t give Zheng Wen’an any face, declining outright before Zheng Wen’an even had a chance to state his request.

"Hey! What’s with you? Brother Wen An hasn’t even said anything yet, and you’re already refusing, isn’t that a bit rude?"

Even though the apocalypse had been going on for a while, Liu Yiyi hadn’t learned to curb her temper.

Upon hearing someone reject Zheng Wen’an, and before the concerned party even said anything, Liu Yiyi couldn’t stand it and spoke out.

"Now you’re asking us for a favor, and you think you can dictate our attitude?"

Jin Chuyu wouldn’t indulge her, immediately snapping back. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Liu Yiyi opened her mouth, wanting to say more, but Zheng Wen’an stopped her.

Jin Chuyu was right; they were the ones asking for help, and their attitude should be more respectful.

"I’m sorry, she didn’t think before speaking, please don’t mind her."

Zheng Wen’an suddenly regretted bringing Liu Yiyi along.

He wanted to find his parents and could have done so on his own.

Bringing Liu Yiyi, he not only had to ensure his own safety but also be responsible for Liu Yiyi’s safety, and by extension, Jiang Zhenzhen’s safety as well.
