Chapter 741 - Seven Hundred and Forty-One: The Situation

Chapter 741: Chapter Seven Hundred and Forty-One: The Situation

"You are my most precious friends and you’re the ones who saved Country Y. It’s rude of me to say this, but the current situation is not in your favor,"

Qiao said.

"Who is the Huaxia person doing business with the Xius?"

Su Jin suddenly asked.

!!!

Shock washed over Qiao as he looked at Su Jin. She knew?

"You know? When did you find out?"

Qiao couldn’t believe it. She knew, and she even knew that the previous trade had been with Huaxia people.

"Quite early. When you invited us to take on a mission at the S City base, my husband had his suspicions,"

Su Jin said with a smile,

"Su Jin... You guys are amazing and very smart, but I can’t afford to offend that Huaxia trading party right now, I’m sorry,"

Qiao said, bowing his head. That trading party was also the only support Country Y had at the moment.

"What if we are willing to be your trading partners in the future?"

Su Jin asked.

!!!

"You mean... the Heart Talk Store?"

Qiao was astonished. Could the Heart Talk Team really trade supplies with them?

Su Jin waved her hand and produced a neat stack of supplies, then said while looking at Qiao:

"We were originally in the business of running a store, so we naturally have the capability to be your trading partners. And since you’re our friend, if the Y Country base is ever short on supplies, you can also make centralized purchases from our Heart Talk Team. As for the price, we’ll keep it consistent with that of the S City base, how about it?"

Consistent with the Heart Talk Store’s price?!

You should know that the price of the supplies Xius traded for was more than ten times that of the Heart Talk Store!

"Are you serious? Even for transactions involving millions of Crystal Cores?"

Qiao’s mouth was dry with tension at this moment.

What did this mean? It meant that Country Y could not only solve the Zombie Cockroach problem but also the future issue of supplies!

"Of course, it’s true, and we can trade right now,"

Su Jin said as she put the supplies back into Space.

While the two were talking, the door to the estate was knocked on urgently.

"One person,"

Mao Qiqi immediately said.

"I’ll go open the door,"

Lu Hao frowned as he stood up. It was already late, who could be coming to look for them besides Qiao?

Seeing the anxious expression on the stranger’s face outside the door, telling him something, Lu Hao let him in.

"Qiao, Elder Russell sent me to notify you, Chieftain Xius is ready to make their move, tonight!"

Vitos said in a panic.

"What?!"

Qiao couldn’t help but stand up. Tonight? How could it be so soon!

"Hansen has already gone to gather men, and Elder Russell is trapped in his home. If it wasn’t for the Wind Element Ability, I wouldn’t have made it here,"

Vitos explained.

"I understand, Vitos. You go back first,"

Qiao said.

No matter whether Su Jin’s words just now were true or not, he felt that ensuring the safety of the Heart Talk Team was the most important thing right now.

"I’ll arrange for you to leave the base when I leave. Regarding the matter we just discussed, I’ll come find you in Huaxia once things have stabilized,"

After speaking, Qiao left the estate with a bewildered Morris in tow.

"What’s going on?"

Lin Xiuyuan asked, puzzled.

"The messenger said someone is coming to capture us,"

Su Jin replied helplessly. Wouldn’t they even let them rest for one night?

"Then let’s retreat, we’ve got the Crystal Core anyway"

Lu Guanhai said, feeling that this posed no problem for the family, as leaving was only a matter of minutes for them, wasn’t it?

"We still need to get out of the base first, Qiao should have gone to prepare"

Su Jin replied.

"Something’s not right, everyone be careful"

Lu Hao said, not because he had discovered anything specific, but his feeling of unease stemmed entirely from his intuition.

Qiao indeed acted swiftly, in less than 10 minutes, a minibus stopped at the doorstep of the Heart Talk Team’s residence.

"Who are you?"

Su Jin, looking at the maid-like person driving the car, asked.

"I’m Shalin, Qiao’s maid, and it was Qiao who asked me to come. David and the others have already been isolated, I’m very familiar with the routes outside, and now I’m the only one who can take you out, hurry up and get on!"

Shalin urged, seemingly worried that the Heart Talk Team wouldn’t be able to leave.

Su Jin translated Shalin’s words to the family, and Lu Hao, after taking a look at the maid-like Shalin, still decided to get on the bus with his family.

"Brother-in-law, didn’t you say there was a problem, why are we still getting on?"

Lin Xiuyuan asked in a low voice.

Shalin kept talking to Su Jin in a foreign language, but they also noticed that this road indeed led to the base exit.

"Let’s talk about it after we get out of the base, are you still afraid there’s a problem?"

Lu Hao said.

"I think this kid is hoping there’ll be a problem,"

Lin Cheng said, looking at an excited Lin Xiuyuan.

What surprised the family, however, was that Shalin had also managed to drive them safely out of the base.

"Thank you for trusting me, I will definitely get you safely to the ferry"

Shalin was still speaking to Su Jin.

The road downhill was rugged and bumpy, and the sky had completely darkened. Lu Hao noticed that Shalin had slowed down the car.

Su Jin glanced at Lu Hao, stood up, and said with a vigilant expression, "Stop pretending. Chieftain Xius sent you, didn’t he?"

Lu Hao was right to be suspicious. How could a maid, who only moved within the base on normal days, dare to drive through a zombie-infested night? She didn’t remember Qiao ever mentioning such a capable maid.

"Oh, I’m truly heartbroken. After safely bringing you out of the base, is this how you doubt me?"

Shalin said with a hurt tone.

But the very next second, she slowly stopped the car, and a strange yet familiar scent wafted in, triggering something in Lu Hao’s memory.

"It’s a hallucinogen, everyone don’t breathe it in!"

That scent was from the mutant ferret they had smelled before and was the same as the hallucinogen encountered previously in the H Province base.

Watching Shalin smugly put on a mask for herself, Su Jin quickly took out several masks and distributed them to the family.

At this moment, she was truly grateful for the equipment Liang Jiuhui had given them before they set off.

"Xiao Jin, you go in first, leave the rest to me,"

Lu Hao said, worried about Su Jin’s safety.

"OK,"

Su Jin nodded and flashed directly into Space.

Shalin watched, dumbfounded, as Su Jin disappeared into thin air, was just about to point to her spot and say something when the next second, she was hit by a heavy object and immediately lost consciousness.

Lu Hao found a bottle of pharmaceutical products that had been opened under her seat and closed the lid.

The scent of the hallucinogen disappeared.

"Dad, didn’t you hit her a bit too hard with that rock? I think she’s probably dead,"

Lin Xiuyuan sealed the bleeding wound on Shalin’s head with ice, not because he wanted to save her, but because he didn’t want her blood to spill all over the car.

"Dead is dead. It was self-defense. She was trying to harm all of us in the car,"

Lin Cheng said without care.

"Xiao Hao, what do we do now? Kill her and go back to S City base?"

Lu Guanhai asked.

"Not going back for now,"

Lu Hao said, his lips curling up as he looked in the direction of the Y Country base.
