Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 847: Negotiation ( 13 )

Both Wen Hanli and Mo Junlong were not strangers in politics and negotiations.

Wen Hanli knew that Mo Junlong was trying to use the supplies he bought from the Lin’an City Base to pull more people to his side. He might even have tried to monopolize the market and control the other bases.

While this wouldn’t affect the Lin’an City Base for now, in the long term, the power and influence of the Mo family would grow stronger. One day, they might even overpower the Lin’an City Base.

If this happened, they would be on the passive side and have to listen to the demands of the Mo family. To avoid this situation, Wen Hanli would never sell supplies beyond what they needed.

Whoever controlled food and water would be the leader in the apocalypse. No matter how strong a base was, they still couldn’t live without supplies.

As he understood this point, so did Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi. They observed Mo Junlong’s expressions and couldn’t see anything from them.

For him to become the head of the Mo family in the future was not without reason. He was not a simple person at all.

Mo Junlong put down his utensils and said with a smile, "I understand your concern, but I can assure you that my Mo family will never sell the supplies we buy from you to others."

After he said this, he nodded to Mo Lingzhen.

Receiving her brother’s signal, she opened her palm, and a folder appeared in it. Seeing this, everyone knew that she was a space-type mutant.

Mu Junlong handed the folder to Wen Hanli while saying, "Vice Commander Wen, this is the population data of my Mo family’s base. Please have a look."

Wen Hanli opened the folder and read the data. Although the data was not as detailed as that provided by Chen Qianxiao’s team, the number did not differ much.

Based on a rough calculation, the amount of supplies requested by My Junlong was only 10% above the amount needed by the survivors on an annual basis.

He considered the pros and cons for a while before he closed the folder and said, "Comrade Mo, I will inform the Commander regarding your request, but I can’t give you a promise that we will agree to the amount you want."

When he heard this, Mo Junlong smiled and nodded. "I understand. Please contact me as soon as the Commander makes his decision."

"It seems that the situation in your base is not promising, Comrade Mo," Wen Hanli said.

"To tell you the truth, we are running out of supplies. With the prolonged snowfall, it is hard for my people to go out and find supplies. Even if we are able to get something, it is either spoiled or contaminated," Mo Junlong sighed.

Hearing this, Wen Hanli only smiled and said nothing. There were countless more pitiful people out there. He wouldn’t give him any promise just because he sold some pity.

Seeing that they had finished their discussion, Jin Xuyan finally said, "Since both of you have finished with your business, now it’s time to divide the crystal cores."

"Captain Jin, did your members collect all the crystal cores already?" Wen Hanli asked with surprise.

"With the help of the Mo family’s mutants and your people, it’s normal for us to finish the task by now," Jin Xuyan nodded.

After he said this, Jiao Lizhi waved her hand and took out all the crystal cores collected today. The crystal cores were stored in wooden boxes and piled up high, filling half of the presidential suite.

Mo Lingzhen was stunned when she saw her take out so many things at once. She always looked down on the mercenaries since their lives could be bought with money.

As the eldest granddaughter of the Mo family, she was raised in wealth and glory. She grew up with people praising her for everything she did.

Even after the apocalypse, she didn’t meet any setbacks or feel any difficulties thanks to her family’s protection.

She thought that no matter how hard others tried to catch up with her, with the resources provided by her family, she would always be several steps ahead of others.

It was only now that she realized that there was someone much stronger than she was.

Feeling someone staring at her, Jiao Lizhi turned her head and met Mo Lingzhen’s sharp gaze. This was not the first time someone had looked at her with this kind of gaze, and she didn’t pay any attention to it.

Jin Xuyan also noticed Mo Lingzhen’s gaze and narrowed his eyes. "Did the Mo family need to count the number of the crystal cores first?" he asked.

Hearing this, Mo Junlong followed his gaze and saw his sister’s jealous expression. He tapped his finger on the armrest and said, "No need. Lingzhen, go tell Junzi to send the crystal cores over."

Although she was unhappy, Mo Lingzhen didn’t dare to go against her elder brother’s order. She nodded and went to make a call.

While they waited, Wang He arrived with two people. They were the space-type mutants under his command. They took out the crystal cores that the mutants had collected from yesterday until just now.

There were a total of 13 boxes of level one crystal cores, 7 boxes of level two crystal cores, 3 boxes of level three crystal cores, and half a box of level four crystal cores. Each box could store around 120,000 crystal cores.

Compared to them, the amount collected by the Phantom Team was almost triple.

Half an hour later, Mo Lingzhen returned with Mo Junzi. She needed 35 minutes to take out all of the crystal cores from her space. Unlike Wang He’s team, they stored the crystal cores in large polystyrene cooling bags.

The moment Jiao Lizhi saw the bags, her eyes lit up. She pulled at her fiancée’s sleeves and said in a low voice, "Brother Yan, those bags look good. We can use them to keep our food from spoiling during hot weather."
