Chapter 37 Supplies are far from enough (2/2)

Before returning to his space, Ye Yanling specifically told him that Ye Ling had very likely already merged with Mu Zhixin.

So on the way here, Ye Jingyan asked Ye Ling to check the Buddhist beads around her neck. Only then did Ye Ling notice that there was a small wooden heart mark on her chest, but the Buddhist beads were gone.

Ye Ling quickly used her mind to try to persuade the plants that were attacking them to retreat. Then she saw that the strange, mutated plants that had been so ferocious just moments before suddenly receded like a tide and hid in the darkness.

Seeing that it worked, she quickly looked in the direction where You Ziming had disappeared and tried it herself. Before long, You Ziming returned.

"Something's not right here, let's go."

Without saying a word, they got into the car and quickly left.

In the space.

The Ye family steward brought pastries into the living room and asked Ye Jinyan, "Third Young Master, when will the Eldest Young Master and Miss be back? They haven't eaten for ten hours."

"These are durian pastries that the chef specially made for the young lady, just so she can have some when she gets back."

Ye Jinyan looked at the durian cake that Ye Ling loved to eat, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's hard to say when she'll be back. Tell the chef to make more so she can take some out to eat next time."

"Yes, Third Young Master."

"Hey, wait a minute."

Ye Jinyan stopped him: "Have the chef prepare some more xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) made with fresh pork. Also, make some beef jerky, both spicy and original flavors, Lingling loves them."

"OK."

Ye Yanling ran in from outside: "Third Brother, Lingling and the others are fighting outside again."

Ye Jinyan stood up and pressed, "How did you know?"

Ye Yanling's expression was solemn: "When my fourth brother and I were taking inventory at the ammunition depot, we found that Lingling had taken a pistol and a submachine gun. They've only been outside for a short time, and they've already been in two fights."

Wen Yanchen also walked in from outside: "When Meng Xia and Mo Di were tidying up their clothes, they found that Lingling took four down jackets. The temperature outside must be below zero. It's only around seven o'clock in the evening, and the temperature is already this low."

He sat down opposite Ye Jinyan and poured himself a cup of tea: "If the government doesn't distribute supplies, a large number of people will die in just one night."

Ye Jinyan sat down again: "I heard from my elder brother that Lingling had told Uncle that the temperature would drop after the tsunami. It's hard to say whether they have made preparations for the grassroots. But knowing Uncle as I do, I'm sure he will try his best."

Ye Yanling sat down beside them and asked, "Do you think those items in the mall are still there?"

Wen Yanchen: "It's not our turn anymore. I received a text message from my subordinates this afternoon that all the major shopping malls have been taken over by the military."

If we want to buy things for free, we'll have to go to other cities. But given the current situation, by the time we get to other cities, we probably won't have much left.

Ye Jinyan frowned slightly: "The supplies we prepared ourselves, if used sparingly, can last for 15-20 years. But if our team grows, the supplies will be greatly reduced."

This still doesn't include providing supplies to those at the grassroots level. If we truly want to help the people at the grassroots level, we need to collect more supplies.

Wen Yanchen took out his tablet and looked at the list of supplies they had purchased.

He said, "If the government hadn't later ordered that private individuals not make large-scale purchases, we might have been able to store up supplies for another twenty years or so before the apocalypse broke out."

Ye Jinyan poured himself a cup of tea and smiled slightly: "We've done alright. At least we collected quite a lot in advance and even arranged for people to continue collecting in other places."

Although each place collects very little, it adds up to a considerable amount. I heard that Shen Xing's group was restricted after they didn't collect much, and even using connections didn't work.

Given his selfish and self-serving nature, he should have been eyeing us long ago. Wen Yanchen, if you run into him, you really need to be careful. Your Wen family has disgraced him, and he will hold a grudge forever.

Wen Yanchen nodded without saying anything.

If they don't separate from the Ye brothers, there's nothing to worry about.

But they have other things to do, so they'll have to separate from them eventually. If they run into Shen Xing, given his protagonist aura, they might really suffer a great loss.

Ye Yanling: "We don't need to go back to the underground city. We don't want to deal with those hypocritical people. Our people don't know how much supplies they've collected elsewhere. We should leave the capital as soon as possible, store the supplies they've collected in our spatial storage, and exchange them with others later."

The sugar and salt we need are far from enough; we need at least another hundred tons. We can't buy too much now, but we can buy more later, right? Anyway, if we don't take it, someone else will take it or it will be swallowed up by natural disasters.”
