Trading supplies!

Lu Hanxue's answer made Zhang Chen pause.

Everyone knew that a convoy without a Guide was doomed to perish in the apocalypse.

He glanced at the menacing wolves before his gaze finally settled on Lu Hanxue's slightly pale face.

It seemed this convoy had fought its way here...

A convoy like this probably had even greater fighting strength.

But this woman seemed to be injured...

Zhang Chen's eyes flickered, but he ultimately suppressed the malicious thoughts in his heart and said with a chuckle, "We humans naturally have to help each other in the apocalypse."

"It's fate that brought us together. We have plenty of supplies on our train."

"The apocalyptic world is so vast, meeting each other must be fate. Since we've met, why don't we hold a trading session and exchange what we have for what we need?"

Lu Hanxue wasn't very good at handling interpersonal relationships.

She stepped back to make room, and Liu Ning, who managed the trucks, appeared at the front of the group.

Liu Ning's scar-covered face was quite intimidating too.

Without much hesitation, she nodded. "What do you have? We aren't short of food or clothing."

Hearing this, Zhang Chen smoothed his gleaming, slicked-back hair and smiled. "Our convoy will definitely have something that interests you."

"All right, we'll get ready. Let's start trading in half an hour."

Liu Ning had clearly dealt with situations like this before, handling every step with practiced ease.

Zhang Chen and his two companions returned to the train.

Lin Yi quietly came up beside Lu Hanxue.

"Have you encountered other convoys before?" Lin Yi asked quietly.

"Yes, but not a single word out of their mouths was true," Lu Hanxue said evenly.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yi asked, puzzled.

"A feeling," Lu Hanxue said lightly.

Lin Yi: ...

The wolves formed a circle around the survivors.

Liu Ning had already begun directing the survivors to select supplies for trading.

Inside the train.

Zhang Chen and his two companions had a carriage all to themselves.

The three sat around a table, and Zhang Chen spoke first. "What do you think?"

Xiao Liuzi, who hadn't spoken all this time, now looked terrified. His voice trembled. "I saw death. Our deaths. Once we attacked, we all died..."

"Mm." Zhang Chen frowned too. "All right, then we'll just trade normally."

Faqing, however, chuckled beside him. "My collection is just missing an ice-sculpture beauty."

"Shut up." Zhang Chen shot the fat monk a vicious glare.

Faqing glanced at the deathly pale Xiao Liuzi and slowly leaned toward Zhang Chen. "What are you afraid of? Just release that monster, and you could take them down easily."

Zhang Chen's expression turned utterly cold at those words:

"Do you know how steep the price would be?!"

"Unless they really have something we want."

"And if you dare tell anyone else, you're dead."

Half an hour later.

The survivors on Lin Yi's side had already covered the ground with goods.

Quite a few survivors had also come down from the Doomsday Train. Plastic sheets were spread over the ground, displaying all kinds of things, including Anomaly materials.

"Our trades will follow the principle of barter. Once a trade is made, there are no returns!"

"The price of every item will be decided by the buyer and seller!"

"All right, let the trading begin!"

Zhang Chen announced the rules.

The survivors from both sides wandered curiously among the stalls, looking for things they needed.

Lin Yi was no exception. He mingled with the survivors, walking back and forth.

But the goods from the Doomsday Train were still supplies like food, clothing, and daily necessities.

Lin Yi had mountains of that stuff in his Blood Ring and wasn't particularly interested.

"Didn't you say you had other things?"

Liu Ning glanced at the stalls, sounding rather displeased. She felt she had been deceived.

"Hehe, ordinary survivors couldn't afford those other things anyway, could they?" Zhang Chen chuckled and gestured invitingly. "The really impressive things are inside the train."

Liu Ning looked at Lu Hanxue with a questioning gaze.

After all, entering someone else's territory was ultimately a risky business.

Lu Hanxue merely cast a brief glance at Lin Yi.

Only after seeing Lin Yi nod slightly did she signal to Liu Ning.

"All right," Liu Ning replied.

Li Jie was left outside, while Lu Hanxue, Liu Ning, and Lin Yi followed the three into the Doomsday Train.

The moment Lin Yi stepped onto the train, a warm, comfortable sensation washed over him.

The bone-chilling cold was gone.

A thought instantly flashed through his mind. Should I just swipe the Doomsday Train?

These three don't look like good people anyway.

He shook his head, suppressed the thought, and walked quietly at the rear of the group.

The train's second carriage seemed to be some kind of office, and the group headed toward the third carriage.

The carriage opened, and the long-missed scent of earth wafted toward them.

Dark brown soil covered the carriage, and the lush green vegetables looked particularly enticing.

"Well? Interested in fresh vegetables?" A smile spread across Zhang Chen's face.

At the sight before them, the eyes of Lu Hanxue and her two companions involuntarily lit up.

Lin Yi hadn't seen fresh vegetables in a very long time either.

The moment he saw those vegetables, even his tongue couldn't help recalling their old flavors.

Interesting, Lin Yi thought. The Doomsday Train really did seem like a good thing.

"What do you want for them?" Liu Ning asked.

Seeing how readily Liu Ning got down to business, Zhang Chen said, "Anomalies, Anomaly materials, or vegetable seeds we don't have."

Liu Ning and the others certainly didn't have vegetable seeds. They did have a few Anomalies and Anomaly materials stored away, but the difference in value felt a little too great.

"Let's finish looking first," Liu Ning said.

"Of course." Chuckling, Zhang Chen led everyone to the fourth carriage.

As soon as they reached the carriage, they heard clucking.

A foul smell followed.

The three looked inside, and their expressions changed.

The fourth carriage was actually a chicken farm. Numerous hens fluttered about, and they could even see a few fresh eggs among the weeds covering the carriage.

Most importantly, these hens were noticeably bigger than those from before the apocalypse.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up again.

He distinctly felt that Zhang Chen was tempting him.

"As for the carriages farther back, those are dormitories for the survivors. But I think the two things you've seen so far should be enough for a trade, right?" Zhang Chen said with a confident smile.

"Hmm..."

Liu Ning casually grabbed an old hen that was scurrying about and examined it closely. "What do you want for one chicken?"

"One Anomaly or Anomaly material per chicken." Smiling, Zhang Chen held up one finger, but then quickly pointed at the wolves outside. "Or one wolf."

"That expensive?" Liu Ning automatically ignored the option of trading a wolf.

After all, the wolves weren't their assets. Lin Yi had only lent them the wolves temporarily.

"Hehe, you have to understand, this isn't just a chicken. It's an endless supply of eggs." Zhang Chen still wore the same genial expression.

"We need to discuss it," Liu Ning said.

"Sure." Zhang Chen led the three off the Doomsday Train.

Once they were some distance from the Doomsday Train, Lu Hanxue casually erected an ice house.

"What do you two think?" Liu Ning looked at them.

"We can trade." Lu Hanxue nodded. She wanted eggs.

Lin Yi, meanwhile, was considering whether to simply swipe everything with a group teleport...

But feeling the cool, steady gaze on him, he made his Blood Ring flash, and three Anomalies appeared before them-the very ones he had worked so hard to pick up from the Taoist convoy.

"The wolves are off-limits. I need two chickens. Trade the rest for fruit and vegetables," Lin Yi said.

Seeing that both wanted to trade, Liu Ning wasted no more words. "All right, we'll do as you say."

Lin Yi didn't feel he was losing much by trading a few very low-ranked Anomalies.

Compared with Anomalies, living chickens could practically be called priceless treasures in the apocalypse.

And these were enhanced chickens, at that...
