Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 575 - Chapter 575 Chapter 576 If Scared Then Dont Come

Chapter 575: Chapter 576: If Scared, Then Don’t Come Chapter 575: Chapter 576: If Scared, Then Don’t Come Old Ha had grain, and Su Shu had medicine; it was mutually beneficial, so they struck a deal immediately.

When following Old Ha to the back to get the grain, he also asked her how much medicine she had on hand and if she was willing to keep trading with him.

It wasn’t just rice and flour–if she needed other food items, he could get his hands on them, as long as Su Shu’s medicine could be traded for something even better.

As for what was better, that could be discussed further.

However, Su Shu didn’t take the bait.

She had plenty of medicine, but it was impossible to reveal it now, and even if she wanted to trade, she definitely wouldn’t trade so much at once.

It was too dangerous!

Eventually, she only traded for ten kilograms of rice, the kind that comes in individually packaged bags from the supermarket.

It wasn’t much, but it still startled Zhan An behind her.

That was already quite a bit!

Old Ha’s storage location was very hidden, concealed by a large iron door. For small trades, items were passed through a little window in the door.

If the quantity was larger, they would open a crack in the door to hand out the goods.

Inside was pitch-dark; one couldn’t even see a person’s face, let alone outsiders seeing what it was like inside.

After trading for rice and five kilograms of flour, half of Su Shu’s stock from her belt bag was gone.

Old Ha, puzzled, asked, “That’s all you’re trading?”

He was very interested in everything she had. Hearing this, Su Shu thought it over.

“I only brought this much with me this time. It’s not easy to keep anything these days. Taking half out to trade, I still need to swap the rest for other things to use, so let’s just trade this much,” she said.

She couldn’t say that this was all she had, but she also couldn’t say she had lots at home. Su Shu’s words were very subtle.

If she admitted to having only this much, the other party might harbor ill intentions, and whether they could leave safely was uncertain. But if she suggested that she had more of the desired items at home, it would allow for the possibility of future cooperation.

The safety factor would certainly be a little higher.

If she had come out alone today, she wouldn’t have to worry.

But Zhan An was with her, and if anything went wrong, regret would come too late.

So she used the excuse that she only had a little to exchange, attempting to lower the potential danger in the other’s mind.

Old Ha stared at her belt bag for a long time, reluctantly asking, “Do you want to trade for anything else? I have friends who have some other things; shall I ask around for you?”

“No need to trouble yourself. I’ll just exchange for some daily necessities in the black market,” she responded.

All eggs shouldn’t be placed in one basket. She hadn’t planned to trade with just one person; it was unsafe.

Old Ha hinted, both in and out of his words, that the black market was too chaotic and mixed and that it would be better to trade with just him. Trading too much, showing off too much–if someone saw and got bad ideas, what then?

Su Shu frowned slightly, not pleased. His words carried a hint of threat and intimidation, and indeed, he was speaking to the wrong person.

He was simply implying that it was better for her to cooperate with him.

Su Shu casually remarked, with a deliberate hint of pride and stubbornness, “People raised in the compound don’t fear danger. If they were, they wouldn’t come to trade.”

Upon hearing the words “the compound,” a flash of light crossed Old Ha’s eyes, and he probed, “How will you guys go back? Be careful, alright?”

“The way we came is the way we will go back. If we really can’t walk anymore, we might as well hitch a ride on a military vehicle on the way. Anyway, it’s on the route,” Su Shu said nonchalantly.

With that, Old Ha asked no further.

It turned out she was associated with military personnel, and he didn’t want to get involved in that trouble; his earlier condescension disappeared, and he said no more.
