Yao Ran had anticipated that Xu Qipeng might ask for a large amount of supply. However, she hadn't expected that over forty thousand soldiers could survive the early phase of the natural disasters.
In her previous life, only eight thousand soldiers had remained in Juncheng City.
When the mutation began, they were almost completely wiped out by the mutant. If it hadn't been for the emergence of the ability users, the Juncheng Military Base would have disappeared from history before it was even founded.
But in this life, with so many surviving soldiers, they might stand a chance against the first wave of mutations in the near future as long as she could provide enough medicine and supplies to save all of them.
After thinking about that, Yao Ran replied, "I can supply medicine for all of them, including those in the Second Army."
Xu Qipeng was surprised, and his initial skepticism faded.
He stared at her in silence for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Ran, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Since you are offering enough medicine for the army, tell me-what do you want in return?"
Yao Ran looked at him and replied, "Uncle Xu, I want a residence permit for me and my friends when you build the military base."
Seeing Xu Qipeng's surprised face, Yao Ran added, "I have heard that the government had lost most of its leaders, causing it to fall into chaos."
"Because of this, Juncheng City has been cut off from the central government and needs to fend for itself. I also heard that the military is planning to build a base now that the flood has receded."
She smiled and asked, "Uncle Xu, what do you think about giving me a few resident permits as payment for the medicine and the disinfectant?"
Xu Qipeng stared at her and, after a moment of silence, sighed and said, "You really are the daughter of the Yao family. You really know what to invest. Fine. I will give you the resident permits, and you can choose the location for the houses once we begin constructing the base."
Seeing the victory in Yao Ran's eyes, Xu Qipeng added, "Don't be happy too early. I promise to give you residence permits, but you will still need to build your own house. We don't have enough materials to build houses after finishing the essential buildings later."
Yao Ran, who had prepared construction materials beforehand, simply nodded and said, "I understand. So, when do you want to get the medicine?"
"As soon as possible." Xu Qipeng answered.
Yao Ran nodded, "Then please lend us a military truck. We will deliver the medicine to you." Xu Qipeng was curious about where she had hidden the supplies, but he knew it concerned Yao Ran's survival at the end of the world, so he refrained from asking questions.
He walked out of the tent and called to a soldier, "Show them to the parking lot and give them a truck."
The soldier saluted him, "Yes, Commander."
After giving the order, Xu Qipeng smiled at Yao Ran and said, "Be careful out there, Xiao Ran."
The soldier checked the plate number and nodded, "Please wait here for a moment while I get the key." freeweɓnøvel.com
