Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter 165 The Hungry Wolf Superpower Team

In the post-apocalyptic world, resources, especially food and water, are more precious than anything else. Although Long Yangyang didn't think she had given too much, it wasn't a small amount either.

At least for now, it's estimated that no one is willing to buy cotton and cotton cloth at high prices.

After a moment's thought, Grandma Liu realized that Long Yangyang's offer was very good. If she and her grandson were frugal with their food, it wouldn't be impossible for them to last for half a year.

"I agree, young lady, could I just take one bag of rice and exchange the remaining four bags for flour, potatoes, and sweet potatoes?" Rice is good, but it needs to be steamed with water, and in this hot weather, it's easy to rot and inconvenient to store.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are different. She comes from the older generation and knows how to dig cellars. In the past, when there was no food, they couldn't use it. But if they had potatoes and sweet potatoes, she and her grandson could secretly dig the cellar at night when it was dark.

Long Yangyang nodded. As a wood-type ability user, she had no shortage of crops like potatoes and sweet potatoes and could plant them anytime. "Okay, can I take these cotton, cotton cloth, and quilts now?"

Grandma Liu opened the door, gesturing for Long Yangyang to take the supplies. Long Yangyang glanced at the supplies and then used her mental power to collect them all.

Then she put the food and water she had promised to give to Grandma Liu back where the cotton fabrics had been, but Long Yangyang left Grandma Liu with four cotton quilts and ten catties of cotton.

Since the old man had sensed something, he left these supplies, hoping that he and his grandson could live longer.

"Xiao Liu, do you know any other places that sell cotton? Take us there," Long Yangyang asked. She had about three thousand cotton quilts in her space, not counting the more than one hundred she had just collected, but nearly half of them were thin summer quilts that she had bought in Myanmar.

What remained were the cotton quilts she had scavenged from shopping malls during the apocalypse. These would be more than enough for family and friends, but they were far from sufficient to ensure the Qingdu base could survive the extreme cold.

After all, she hadn't initially considered the survival of others. Although her father said he would handle it, she suspected that if the army went on a mission, they might pick up some survivors along the way, and when the extreme cold arrived, it definitely wouldn't be enough.

“I know that when the Gale Ability Group from the base went out to collect supplies, they brought back a lot of bedding. I can take you to their shop to have a look,” Xiao Liu said as he led Long Yangyang and the others outside.

"Thump—" Xiao Liu had just stepped out the door when he bumped into someone.

"Damn it, where did this brat come from? Does he have a death wish?!" The man slapped Xiao Liu to the ground and glared at him fiercely.

Then he shouted into the doorway, "Old woman, have you thought this through? Our Hungry Wolf Ability Group is doing you a favor by buying your cotton cloth. If you don't want it, watch out for your grandson's life!"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Liu rushed to the door, panicking, and cried out, "What have you done to my grandson? He's just a child! Take it out on me!!"

Grandma Liu helped Xiao Liu up with a pained expression: "Xiao Liu, how are you? Where are you hurt?"

Xiao Liu shook his head, stood in front of Grandma Liu, and looked warily at the two people at the door: "What do you want? To force a sale?! Where's Brother Xiangzi?"

"Pah, where did this brat come from? Old woman, don't push your luck. Our boss only gave you a hundred pounds of potatoes in exchange for your cotton because he took pity on you and didn't want you to starve. Otherwise, we wouldn't have given you a single pound of potatoes."

Upon hearing this, Long Yangyang knew that these people, like herself, wanted to trade cotton with Grandma Liu, but they were even more ruthless, wanting to exchange all the cotton for a hundred pounds of potatoes.

What's the difference between this and getting something for nothing?

“No need to exchange. We’ve already sold all our cotton. We only have ten pounds left. If you’re willing to exchange, I’ll give you all the cotton.”

Grandma Liu didn't want Long Yangyang to clash with the Hungry Wolf Superpower Group, so she lied and said the cotton had already been sold.

"Where is my grandson?" Grandma Liu's grandson went out on a mission with the superpowered group before dawn and hasn't returned. Grandma Liu isn't sure if her grandson is in the hands of the Hungry Wolf Superpowered Group.

After all, the grandson is just an ordinary person; how could he possibly be a match for a superhuman?

"Ten pounds? Are you trying to fob off a beggar?" A member of the Hungry Wolf Ability Group punched the wall by the door, his fist embedding itself in the wall, leaving a ten-centimeter-deep fist-shaped dent.

Long Yangyang glanced at it, then lowered her head disdainfully. A mere level two power user could only swagger around in front of ordinary people.

"I can tell you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Big Head, bring the man up here."

The man shouted, and soon after, a tall, thin man came over carrying a thin figure.

The man's body was covered in bruises, and his face was covered in blood from the beating. His blood-stained hair was messy and blocked his eyes, so Long Yangyang and the others could not see his face.

Judging from the figure, the person should be quite young.

"Xiangzi!" Grandma Liu roared as she looked at the injured boy, tears streaming down her cloudy eyes. "You damned bastards! All you do is bully us orphans and widows! I'll fight you to the death!"

After saying that, Grandma Liu picked up a stool from the side and hit the man who was holding Liu Tianxiang.

"Bang!" The stool hit the man, but it didn't hurt him at all. Instead, the stool in Grandma Liu's hand was shattered into pieces.

"Damn old woman, how dare you lay a hand on me!" Caught off guard, the man was hit by the stool and didn't expect Grandma Liu to make a move.

Although she was not injured, Grandma Liu's behavior angered the man.

The man threw Liu Tianxiang, whom he was holding, to the ground, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards Grandma Liu.

Seeing that the man was about to hurt Grandma Liu, Xiao Liu quickly ran in front of Grandma Liu and grabbed the man's arm, saying, "What are you doing? I won't let you hit Grandma Liu."

Grandma Liu and Brother Xiangzi are good people. They would save their own food rations to give some to themselves, their sister, and their grandmother. Grandma Liu is such a good person, she would never let a man hurt her.

"You brat!" The man raised his arm, and Xiao Liu instantly clung to his arm like a pendant. Then, the man swung his arm forcefully, and Xiao Liu was thrown away like a toy.

"Little Six!" Grandma Liu cried out in alarm when she saw Little Six being thrown out. She tried to rush over and catch him. Little Six was only six years old. If his head hit the ground, he would be half dead, if not dead.

"Heh." Long Yangyang snorted coldly. The actions of the Hungry Wolf Ability Group were truly disgusting. A thick rose vine caught Xiao Liu, who had been thrown out by the man, tied him up, and then carefully placed Xiao Liu on the ground.

"Phew, Xiao Liu..." Seeing that Xiao Liu was alright, Grandma Liu breathed a sigh of relief, tears streaming down her face. This world... it's truly unbearable!
