Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 371 Trading

Su Li and Sophia glanced at it and decided to go up and check the situation.

They were highly skilled and daring, unafraid of these superhumans. Most of the valuable items in this base were in the hands of the higher-ups; they should be able to exchange them for something useful.

Amidst the fearful gazes of the many residents, Su Li and her group followed Secretary Zhao through layers of guards to reach the top floor of the Blue Sky Base. The architectural style here was completely different from the lower floors, with ornate decorations and an atmosphere of pre-apocalyptic luxury. The marble floors gleamed, exquisite oil paintings hung on the walls, and crystal chandeliers shimmered softly overhead, as if this place had never experienced the ravages of the apocalypse.

Pushing open a heavy mahogany door, Su Li and her group entered a spacious office. In the center of the room, behind a huge desk, sat a tall, kind-looking middle-aged man.

"Welcome to Blue Sky Base," Li Feng stood up, extended his hand to shake hands with Su Li, and said with enthusiasm and sincerity, "I am Li Feng, one of the people in charge of Blue Sky Base."

Su Li smiled slightly, "Hello, I am the captain of our exploration team."

After letting go, Li Feng picked up a box of exquisite cigarettes from the table, took one out and handed it to Su Li: "Want one? This is a treasure from before the apocalypse, it's hard to find now."

Su Li waved her hand, politely declining, "Thank you, we don't smoke."

Li Feng smiled, put the cigarette back in the pack, and said with a touch of emotion, "Not smoking is a good habit. After the apocalypse, cigarettes will be a scarce resource, and every cigarette you smoke is one less you can smoke."

He put down his cigarette case, turned his gaze to Su Li, and his tone became serious: "I heard that you helped us capture a dangerous superhuman, thank you very much. Wang Tong is a very important person to our base."

Su Li nodded and said directly, "We did capture a mind control ability user. However, to be honest, the timing of your secretary's arrival is too coincidental, which makes us a little suspicious."

Li Feng didn't shy away from the question, nodding frankly: "That's right, Wang Tong is one of my men. I sent him to test your strength. After all, in this apocalyptic world, the sudden appearance of a powerful team requires our caution."

He paused, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "It's the apocalypse now, and many people have ambitions to become kings and conquerors. There are too many troublemakers. I have Wang Tong, who can control some powerless superhumans. I'll capture those dangerous individuals and have Wang Tong control them to protect our base."

Li Feng's gaze hardened, his tone carrying a hint of self-justification: "My actions may have disregarded human rights, but this is the apocalypse, and survival is the fundamental issue. I don't think I did anything wrong by exchanging these scum for the safety of the base."

Su Li sneered inwardly. Li Feng's words were clearly an attempt to establish himself as someone who was "a bit bad, but generally inclined towards justice."

But what does this have to do with Su Li? Su Li only brought this up because she wanted some resources and equipment.

“We don’t care about any of that,” Su Li said bluntly. “This base is just a rest stop on our journey. Whether you’re as you say or whatever disgusting things you’re planning, it’s none of our business. If you’re willing to provide something useful, perhaps we can consider handing Wang Tong over to you and then pretend nothing happened.”

A flicker of surprise crossed Li Feng's eyes; he clearly hadn't expected Su Li to be so direct. He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, that's straightforward. We do need Wang Tong. But what do you want?"

Without hesitation, Su Li stated her request directly: "We want a Crystallite Generator, a few Crystallites, and a few laser guns."

Li Feng raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by Su Li's request. The Crystal Stone generator was the core energy source for their base, while the laser gun was one of their most advanced weapons. However, considering Wang Tong's importance, Li Feng ultimately nodded.

“Okay,” Li Feng said, “but you have to tell me how you discovered Wang Tong’s abilities.”

Su Li smiled slightly, extended her hand and shook hands with Li Feng: "Deal."

He then explained, "The reason is simple: we also have psychic abilities here. Sun Lili, who captured Wang Tong, is one of them."

Su Li briefly explained the concept of psychic abilities to Li Feng, then led her teammates away from the upper levels. Having achieved their goal, they returned to the train to await supplies sent by Li Feng.

Although Li Feng was somewhat displeased, the incredible strength of Su Li and her group, especially Sun Lili's spatial abilities, forced him to suppress his greed and choose to let them leave.

About an hour later, Secretary Zhao, along with several subordinates, arrived at Su Li's train, pushing several carts full of supplies.

“That’s all,” Secretary Zhao said, pointing to the supplies on the cart, her tone somewhat reluctant. “Take a count and see if it’s enough.”

Su Li stepped forward and carefully inspected the supplies. The crystal generator, several fist-sized crystals, and three laser guns were all intact. He nodded, signaling his teammates to load the supplies onto the train.

“There’s nothing wrong with the items,” Su Li told Secretary Zhao.

Back on the train, Su Li and the others began to examine their spoils.

First, Zuli and Ivan began to study the generator made of the dazzling crystal.

This crystal generator has a very sci-fi feel. There is a glass tank in the middle. After you put the crystal in, the clamps inside will hold the crystal in place. Then, the machine will release an electric current to stimulate the crystal. After the crystal is stimulated, it will slowly release an electric current inside.

“A very simple structure.” Ivan sighed after studying the generator. “It’s basically not of any reference value. It seems that the power generation of this device relies entirely on the unique properties of the crystal.”

I understand. Like the steel here, it's another miracle brought about by a dazzling crystal.

This discovery made Zurich even more interested in the crystal.

He picked up a dazzling crystal and began to examine it closely.

Ivan picked one up and returned to the workshop.

After receiving the supplies, the train started moving, leaving the Blue Sky Base behind and stopping on a distant high-rise building.
