Chapter 304: Being Watched
Yuan Rihui looked at Long Yu and Yao Ran and asked, "Have you heard about the latest announcement from the Juncheng Military Base?"
Long Yu inquired, "Is it about the change in the weather?"
Yuan Rihui shook his head and explained, "No, it's not about that. Three days ago, the military officially announced the completion of the first phase of the base's construction."
"Initially, it was supposed to take two more months to finish. But thanks to the contribution of the survivors and refugees from Haicheng City and Haicheng Base, they managed to complete it ahead of schedule."
After hearing this, Yao Ran asked, "What does the base's completion have to do with this business opportunity you are talking about?"
Yuan Rihui smiled and replied, "The military has announced that people will need points to purchase houses. To earn these points, you need to hand over one kilogram of food or fuel, two liters of water, or two kilograms of compressed biscuits."
"There are over a hundred thousand survivors from Haicheng Base who arrived more than half a month ago, creating a housing shortage at Juncheng Military Base. Because of this, the price of housing at the base has been rising over these few days."
"As housing prices increase, many survivors can't afford to exchange enough supplies for points to buy houses. However, most of these people were wealthy before the end of the world."
He paused, then grinned at Yao Ran and asked, "Miss Yao, what do you think they have that other survivors don't?"
After considering his explanation, Yao Ran's eyes lit up. "Antiques." She answered.
Yuan Rihui nodded, "Exactly. I have found a few new clients willing to trade their family heirlooms and collections for food and water. Since you have hydroponic rooms and greenhouses here, I thought this deal might interest you."
Yao Ran's space still had room for upgrades, so she was delighted at the opportunity to acquire more antiques. Since Yuan Rihui had brought the business directly to her, there was no reason to refuse.
Pouring a cup of warm water, Yao Ran said, "You are right. I'm very interested in this business."
She placed the cup in front of Yuan Rihui and added, "As usual, I will need to see the goods first before we negotiate prices."
Long Yu frowned slightly at her words and replied, "I have a feeling that we are being
watched."
Hearing this, Yao Ran also frowned and said, "I will check if someone is really watching us."
"Alright," Long Yu said.
Yao Ran closed her eyes and spread her wood-element energy around them. Five minutes later, she opened her eyes and shook her head.
She said, "I couldn't sense any living beings within 500 meters of us."
Long Yu's frown deepened, and he fell into a deep thought. Without another word, he stepped on the accelerator and sped up.
Behind them, Yuan Rihui, confused by the sudden increase in speed, could only follow suit and pressed down on his accelerator.
Not long after they passed through the area, a group of people walked out from behind a massive rock. In the next moment, the rock disappeared, and a small girl appeared in the
rock's position.
The little girl looked up at a woman with short hair and said, "Elder Sister, I'm hungry."
The woman gently rubbed the little girl's hair, "Wait for a moment. Elder Sister will find you something to eat later."
Seeing the little girl nod and obediently stay beside her, she turned to look in the direction where Long Yu and the others had gone.
After a moment of silence, she said, "It seems they realized we were watching them."
Another woman with a bald head looked surprised and exclaimed, "Impossible! My invisibility should cover all of us without any problems. Moreover, with your younger sister's camouflage ability, there is no way they could have detected us."
