This contrast made Xiao La think of the survival rules of this land where power is the most important.

"Master asks what your purpose is."

Xia Xiaochi secretly lifted up his sleeve and took a look at the words on his watch.

"Purpose... I have no purpose, only a small proposal."

Xiao La put the box back into the car, looked up and continued to speak to the little girl at the shelter door.

"As neighbors, I think we should live in harmony,"

"The wasteland is very unstable right now. The mutant species that appeared during the day have caused panic among everyone. If there is any more friction at this time, it will greatly reduce the survival rate of both parties."

Xiao La's tone became more forceful, and it sounded as if he was really considering both parties.

Xia Xiaochi paused and replied:

"...My master said that your proposal can be retained. But there is one thing we must tell you."

"You said."

"Your little brother came here to cause trouble yesterday and caused us quite a bit of damage."

"..."

Xiao La was stunned for a moment, and his eyes wandered around the intact shelter.

It doesn't look like this place has suffered a "significant loss".

But the man with the golden tooth was long gone, leaving no evidence.

"We need one..." Xia Xiaochi paused and continued to read the numbers on his watch, "one ton of ammunition."

"A ton?!"

Xiao Ba exclaimed in surprise.

It is not difficult to see from his reaction that this number is an astonishing number even for him.

"Do you know how many rounds of ammunition there are in one ton? Even the size of ammunition you exchanged last time, there are a full 1 rounds!"

"You can't take it out?"

The little girl asked suddenly.

Xiao La retracted the expression on his face.

He glanced at the drone circling above his head, and the scar on his face twitched twice again.

"It can be possible."

Xiao La was much calmer now. "But making ammunition requires a lot of manpower. It will take me a long time."

"No need," Xia Xiaochi interrupted, "We just need...raw materials."

"Just the raw materials?"

When Xiao Lai heard this, he thought it would save a lot of trouble.

He had plenty of raw materials, and the ingredients for black powder were not scarce. What was truly scarce was the labor and technology to make this kind of ammunition. After all, they didn't have a complete production line.

Just as Xiao Lai was about to agree to the compensation, the girl's voice rang out again.

"We still need soil and seeds, and two more people."

"People?" Xiao La was stunned.

"The two mother and daughter my master rescued last time."

After hearing what the girl said, Xiao Ba understood instantly.

They were just two women, and they were from another shelter. Xiao La could totally accept it.

"...This is all the compensation, right?" Xiao La confirmed again and again.

"These are the only requirements for now." The girl nodded.

'Temporarily' means...

This is all we need for now, and we can use it to maintain the current peace.

Why does it sound like collecting protection money?

but.

Xiao La himself has no extra choice at the moment.

Until a more powerful force emerges with many options and possibilities, he can only compromise with his current neighbors.

"Okay, I'll deliver the things and the person in two days."

Xiao La finally agreed to the other party's proposal.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at the interior of the shelter, which was emitting a faint blue light.

He came here to "apologize".

Now that the other party's attitude was clear, Xiao La felt much more at ease.

This ton of black gunpowder might just be the beginning of the other party's test of him... But no matter what, he could only choose to accept it.

It is hard to say whether this neighbor who appeared out of nowhere is a blessing or a curse.

Now, let's keep him steady first.

What if, in the future, the other party can really become a backer...

Sitting on the motorcycle he came on, Xiao La prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, the girl's voice called him again.

Xiao La suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

I was afraid that I would be blackmailed again.

The girl stood still, raised her face slightly, and said with a cold expression:

"Leave the motorcycle here...and take the things in the box with you."

Chapter 64 New Residents

In the picture, we can see Xiao La’s back gradually leaving.

Fang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know what kind of image I am in the other person’s mind.

However, Fang Ming also took advantage of this to continue to create a sense of mystery.

In order to maintain this mystery, he even chose to let Xia Xiaochi deliver a message for him.

It turns out... the attitude of the 2737 shelter manager towards him is quite positive.

The missile that day posed a considerable threat to him.

Originally, Fang Ming wanted to ask him to hand over the energy crystal directly.

But after thinking about it, the other party would most likely not agree to such a request.

This can be seen from the fact that he was willing to exchange such a precious energy crystal last time, even a small amount of 1.7 grams of energy crystal.

If we push him into a corner, it will be a waste of time and effort.

Fang Ming's Ark Shelter has limited manpower, while Shelter 2737 is recycling, mining, exploiting and producing every day.

If Fang Ming wants the shelter to develop better, he must borrow these human resources.

Besides, he still needed the information provided by Shelter 2737.

Fang Ming didn't have a radio, so his understanding of this apocalyptic world was only the tip of the iceberg. Xiao Ba, who had lived in Shelter 2737 his entire life, even working his way up to become an administrator, held invaluable information.

That's why Fang Ming agreed to his request for "reconciliation".

"Brother Fang Ming...is our shelter going to have new residents?"

Send Xiao Ba away.

Xia Xiaochi sat in his own garbage dump, looking at the dispersing light in the center with bright eyes.

"Well, since they are also survivors of Shelter 0331, you should be able to get along with them, right?" Fang Ming asked.

Xia Xiaochi nodded vigorously: "Yes! Of course!"

That's great.

Now Xia Xiaochi is the only one in the Ark Shelter. There are many things Xia Xiaochi wants to do every day, but he only has two hands and is unable to handle them all.

Now, Xia Xiaochi is more than happy to have two more people to help.

"Considering the expandability of the shelter's upgrades in the future, I plan to add these two people and experiment with it first," Fang Ming explained.

Once there is enough gunpowder, the Ark Shelter will be upgraded.

By then, the area will increase significantly.

If Xia Xiaochi was the only one in the shelter all the time, the manpower efficiency would be too low.

Fang Mingguang felt a headache for the little heroine just thinking about the fact that she would have to pick up trash, clean up garbage, farm and harvest vegetables, clean up the remains of mutant species, and collect energy crystals...all these tedious steps would have to be completed by her alone.

Therefore, Fang Ming felt it necessary to add more people to assist Xia Xiaochi.

The Ark Shelter now has no shortage of food. The only thing it lacks in terms of survival resources is this 100 square meters of space.

Their house can't accommodate many people.

It just so happened that the mother and daughter were the best candidates.

"OK,"

Xia Xiaochi expressed support for all the decisions made by the other party. "Then I will go and divide the bedroom space for them and prepare a bed for them!"

Xia Xiaochi has always been a person of action. After making up her mind, she took action.

Fang Ming quickly used voice control to control her, telling her not to do anything now, and that the first priority was to decompose all the garbage in the shelter.
