Chapter 405: Chapter 227 Conditions (First Update)_2

But if it weren’t for someone leaking secrets, how would these people know about it? Could it be that they had a special element superpower user among them?

Fang Yue became more and more anxious as he thought about it, but his face still tried its best to maintain composure, fearing to give away any clues, "I don’t understand what you mean, my friend." As he spoke, he clenched his teeth, and finally, in a desperate attempt, said, "If my friend thinks that a thousand Crystal Cores are too few, I can add five hundred more!"

However, as soon as he said this, Fang Yuxin burst into laughter, "Hearing you say this, I’m also interested in that kind of stone. What kind of stone is it exactly that you are willing to trade with five hundred Crystal Cores?"

Feng Yue’s face changed instantly upon hearing Fang Yuxin’s words, only then did he realize that his action was tantamount to admitting guilt!

At this thought, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead; he had been too careless!

Yet with the knife hanging over his head and the fish on the cutting board, the situation was already extremely unfavorable for him; even though he knew the other party had ill intentions, he couldn’t think of a solution!

In the end, he had to steel himself and said, "You jest, Miss. I don’t have any strange stones on hand. The reason I said that is that the most precious thing I can offer is those Crystal Cores. If my friends want something else, I’m afraid I’m powerless to satisfy."

Seeing the veins on his forehead bulge and his eyes turn red, Yuxin knew he was not going to compromise when it came to Elemental Stones and Elemental Crystals. It was pointless to continue unless she directly knocked him down and took the items by force.

But though Elemental Stones and Elemental Crystals were precious, they were nothing to her, and she did not want to go to extremes. So, she decided not to pursue the issue of Elemental Stones but instead said, "On our way here, we heard that there was plenty of food in this place. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yue hadn’t even a chance to breathe a sigh of relief before his nerves tensed again. He cursed the person who had leaked this information in his heart while saying with difficulty, "I will not deceive my friends, there is indeed some food stored in the settlement. However, the settlement has more than two thousand mouths to feed, and the remaining food will not last long. I can decide to give you the Crystal Cores, but as for that food... it’s everyone’s rations, I truly don’t have the authority, I’m sorry!"

If they gave away the remaining food, the people within the settlement would starve to death! Now, Crystal Cores were as vital as food, and although Feng Yue didn’t regard those people highly, he couldn’t bear to let so many people starve to death.

Upon hearing his words, Fang Yuxin actually esteemed him slightly. This man had rushed out after a failed promotion, and now he stood up to protect their food; it seemed that he was at least a man of some valor.

However, recalling the scenes she had witnessed and the words she had heard, she still could not bring herself to like Feng Yue.

This man was not rotten to the core, but he was certainly no good man. Yet, real good men were unlikely to survive in the apocalypse. If he knew how to read the room, she might even help him.

Under her gaze, Feng Yue felt uncomfortable. When he first saw Fang Yuxin, he was momentarily stunned by her beauty. But soon, he discovered he couldn’t see through this woman’s strength! From that moment on, he dared not consider Fang Yuxin just another beautiful woman, and he avoided letting his gaze linger too long to avoid angering her.

Now, with Fang Yuxin’s gaze upon him, he felt ever more fearful. He took a quick glance at her face and suddenly his mind thought of the nature of his subordinates; a chilling sensation swept over him, and he felt goosebumps all over!

If those fools offended her...

Feng Yue clenched his fists tightly and suddenly had a strong epiphany—if he could get through this calamity unscathed, he would be sure to give those underlings of his a harsh lesson, to make them behave properly! They must not offend anyone they shouldn’t offend again!

With this in mind, he gritted his teeth and decided to test the waters by saying, "What do my friends think of my earlier proposal? I can add another hundred Crystal Cores, and as for the food... I can share a portion of my share with you, but that’s all I can give!"

This was his bottom line. If the other party was still not satisfied, then he would have no choice but to fight to the death.

Feng Yue was very aware that the other party was stronger than himself, so unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to engage them in battle. Because once they started fighting, he wasn’t even sure he would survive!

Bai Ye glanced at Fang Yuxin, then said, "Add a detailed map of the nearby area as well."

Feng Yue instantly breathed a sigh of relief. A mere map was nothing to be concerned about. Looking around, most of the able-bodied ones had already gotten up, and those who had been more seriously injured had been helped up by their companions.

Feng Yue looked at them and instantly thought they were just a mob. He had never considered training these people, only treating them as replaceable subordinates. But at this moment, he suddenly wanted to train them to become stronger, to survive together in the apocalypse!

He himself was a retired military person, and not long after his discharge, even without the help of superpowers, his abilities were pretty decent. Yet, his subordinates were nothing but a mob due to their lack of systematic and formal training!

Feng Yue felt ashamed, but now was not the time to dwell on such things. Getting rid of the plague of people before him was the priority!

So he said, "If my friends do not wish to come in and sit down, then please wait here. I will go prepare the items, and I’ll definitely come out."

Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

Feng Yue was relieved and prepared to go inside. But just then, he suddenly saw several smoke signals rising in the distance, accompanied by sharp whistle sounds. (To be continued.
