Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 798 - 423 Delivered to the door_2

At this moment, the old man suddenly said, "Why bother thinking about these useless things? Given their power and the fact that they brought food, I’m afraid what they seek is not what we have in our hands, but they’ve learned of our plight and want to help us! Go open the door quickly and invite them in."

Someone was worried: "But with their strength, what if they suddenly attack us? Besides, there are just three of them, how do they have so much grain? Where did this food come from? Isn’t it too suspicious?"

However, just as this person finished speaking, the old man sighed and shook his head: "You know they are formidable, so why don’t you think—if they really wanted to act against our base, why use such means? Wouldn’t it be easier for them to mix into the base and act without bringing their truck? Why go to such lengths?"

Saying this, he stopped speaking further and quickly went downstairs, ready to personally greet the three guests who had come from afar. Many of the higher-ups also followed behind him, intending to greet them together. Regardless of what the other party wants, since they brought the much-needed food, they must show enough sincerity.

Soon, the base gate opened, and the old man led people directly out. Fang Yuxin and her companions saw them coming out and also got off the truck. Although the three disguised their appearances, their unusual bearing was striking at a glance.

Most of the Market Base’s higher-ups were shrewd people. While they sized up the three from the truck, one glance was enough to know these three were anything but ordinary.

Fang Yuxin and her companions also observed these higher-ups. Back when they had spent some time in the Market Base, they had met many of these higher-ups, especially the leading old man, who was General Song. Back then, Fang Yuxin had just started her cultivation and her abilities were still average. Though he guessed Fang Yuxin was hiding some secret, he didn’t delve into it and instead decided to befriend her, even specially instructing people not to provoke Fang Yuxin, protecting her from quite a bit of trouble.

Now, seeing him again, Fang Yuxin noticed he had aged considerably compared to before. When he first awakened his superpower, he still had a spirited demeanor, but after only a few months, he had become an old man under heavy strain.

Fang Yuxin was startled and sighed. The situation at Market Base is like this; it’s no wonder he’s aged so fast. However, she didn’t regret emptying that Food Trading City back then. She hadn’t forgotten she wasn’t the only one who went there—Fang Mengyao and Qiu Yiming went too. If she hadn’t emptied it out, the contents would have only benefited Fang Mengyao!

Thinking of Fang Mengyao, Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but feel annoyed again. How had she forgotten, that Qiu Yiming had gone to the Beishi Base, and thus Fang Mengyao must be there too? She had missed such a great opportunity, truly regrettable!

Because she thought of the matter with Fang Mengyao, Fang Yuxin’s face looked quite unpleasant. The higher-ups of Market Base had been secretly watching their expressions, and seeing her displeased face now, their hearts sank, fearing things might go wrong.

But General Song kept his composure, smiling as he said, "I am the head of the base, and I heard you brought food to trade with us, so I came to see. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. As long as it’s something we can offer, we won’t be stingy."

Despite his age, his smile was that of a kindly grandfather. Moreover, his attitude was already quite good, easily gaining goodwill. Unfortunately, Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang weren’t listening to him, as their attention was on Fang Yuxin.

Both had noticed Fang Yuxin’s unpleasant demeanor and couldn’t help but worry, not understanding what was wrong with her. While the Market higher-ups anxiously awaited them to speak, Bai Ye communicated with Fang Yuxin, "Xinxin, what’s wrong? Why do you look so upset?"

Fang Yuxin had already composed herself by this time. Seeing Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang worried about her, and the market higher-ups visibly anxious, she first reassured the two with "I’m fine," then said to General Song, "The two trucks contain forty tons of grain in total. As long as you can offer a satisfactory price, all of it can be yours."

After speaking, she took out a pre-prepared price list from her pocket, and with a light tap of her finger, the thin paper flew toward General Song. The person standing next to him, evidently there to protect him, changed their expression at the sight of the paper shooting over: "Be careful, General!" They spoke as they nervously blocked in front of General Song, even prepared to make a move.

However, General Song’s expression stayed the same. He glanced at Fang Yuxin and then gently pushed the person blocking him aside. Just then, the paper reached him, stopped abruptly, and softly landed in his open palm.

He looked down at the price list on the paper, his expression changing immediately! Those next to him, seeing this, became tense again. But due to General Song’s status, even though they were anxious, they didn’t dare approach and could only stay anxious on the side.

Someone looked warily at Fang Yuxin and her companions, lowering their voice to ask, "General, what’s wrong? Are the prices too high?"

General Song silently shook his head. It wasn’t that the prices were too high that shocked him, but because the prices were unexpectedly low! (To be continued.
