279: The bastard is dead.

Pei Wenlong lay on the ground, coughing violently, his body aching as if it were falling apart.

Noticing the armored vehicle parked not far away starting up again, Pei Wenlong endured the severe pain and shouted,

“Don't kill me! I was wrong! I'm willing to give you a thousand boxes of supplies!”

“I can give you the entire Fengquan City Base!”

He didn't want supplies anymore; he wanted his life!

However, Lu Yu, sitting in the driver's seat, calmly pressed the accelerator and ran over Pei Wenlong.

Immediately after, he reversed and ran over him again.

Painful whimpers mixed with the faint sound of bones breaking.

Lu Yu remained indifferent and moved forward again.

Only when most of Pei Wenlong's body was crushed into a pulp did Lu Yu stop the car, his eyes cold.

He knew that Pei Wenlong had once sent people to kill his neighbor.

Zhou Wanqing had revealed this to the military before leaving the Capital.

At the time, because there was no evidence, the matter was left unresolved.

So, after arriving at Fengquan City, he specifically asked Captain Lei for a car and came to find Pei Wenlong alone.

Since Pei Wenlong liked to cause car accidents so much, Lu Yu decided to let him die under a car.

Suddenly, Captain Lei's voice came through the walkie-talkie in the car.

“All Rescue Team members, gather at the port.”

“Most of the people in Fengquan City have been killed by us; it's time to organize the supplies.”

Lu Yu drove over to help.

The supplies of Fengquan City Base were all stored in warehouses at the port, making it convenient for the people from the Capital to transport them.

After a full day of work, a total of 45 large trucks were loaded.

They set off back to the Capital that same night.

This was to avoid delaying too long, as the Base might think they had encountered danger.

It only took five days for the team to return to the Capital from Fengquan City.

While it was still light, Captain Lei and the army went to find the Base Leader to deliver the supplies.

As for the members of the Rescue Team, Captain Lei granted them two days off to rest well.

Lu Yu went home, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and used the walkie-talkie to contact Jiang Fei.

Learning that she was at Villa 11, he went next door.

Seeing many unsealed bottles and jars filled with powder on the coffee table in the living room, Lu Yu asked curiously, “What are these?”

“Mixed grain flour.”

Jiang Fei told Lu Yu about the Supermarket's grinder.

The day after the teammates went to Fengquan City, she sent mixed grain flour and abalone to Ping An Small Mall.

Mixed grain flour could not only promote health but also serve as a meal replacement.

Abalone was an even rarer commodity.

On the day they were put on shelves, both products sold out completely, earning over five million grams of gold.

Adding the earnings from the past half-month, the total was 47,000,000 grams.

They were still 46% away from unlocking the next area.

There were many abalones in the Supermarket's breeding pond, so she didn't have to worry about them.

But the mixed grain flour needed to be freshly ground and covered, which was a bit time-consuming, so she focused on grinding flour at home, staying indoors to make and store more.

This way, Su Liuyuan wouldn't have to go into the Supermarket to grind every time he asked her to restock.

“How did your mission go?”

“Very smoothly. Captain Lei even gave us two days off.”

Lu Yu sat down voluntarily, helping Jiang Fei put on the lids, and told her the news of Pei Wenlong's death.

He omitted the specific gory details.

Jiang Fei didn't care about it.

He was just a bastard; if he died, he died.

“When Su Liuyuan and the others get off work tonight, we'll have hotpot together.”

“Do you want to go home and rest for a while?”

Lu Yu: “No need, I'm not tired.”

Seeing Lu Yu refuse, Jiang Fei gave up and continued to put lids on the bottles and jars.

The two quickly finished with all the bottles and jars.

After putting everything into the Supermarket warehouse, Jiang Fei was responsible for preparing the hotpot ingredients.

Lu Yu was responsible for playing with Da Huang in the living room and using the walkie-talkie to inform everyone to come to Villa 11 for dinner tonight.

At 8:30 PM, Su Liuyuan and others arrived one after another.

Jiang Fei had already arranged the ingredients, dipping sauces, and cookware on the dining table.

There were lamb rolls, fresh beef, lobster, crabs, black tiger shrimp, tripe, duck blood, vegetables, fish balls, wood ear mushrooms, and so on.

Su Liuyuan swallowed hard as he looked, teasing Lu Yu:

“We're benefiting from you today; otherwise, we wouldn't be having hotpot.”

Lu Yu shot him a sideways glance: “Are you eating or not?”

“Eating!” Su Liuyuan quickly sat down and mixed his dipping sauce.

As if remembering something, he paused, then said seriously, “Captain, the military store is ripping us off.”

“Whenever someone from Ping An Small Mall goes to the military store to buy something, the price is three times higher.”

“At first, we thought we were overthinking it, but yesterday Uncle Jiang went to the military store again to buy paper and pens for Xiao Shi, spending a total of 9 contribution points.”

“But Uncle Jiang asked other customers, and they only paid 3 contribution points for those items.”

“The clerk saw the name on our contribution card and raised the price.”

“Before, you were busy with the mixed grain flour, and we were also busy at the Mall with new products, so we forgot to tell you.”

Yao Jin: “The price of stationery is still alright. A few days ago, I went to the military store to buy pants, and a pair of second-hand jeans cost 10 contribution points, which was directly 5 times the normal price.”

Xiao Chuxia frowned: “Military stores all have unified prices. Clerks dare not arbitrarily raise prices, or they will be punished by the person in charge.”

“Only the person in charge of the military store and Cheng Pingwei can change prices.”

“Cheng Pingwei has a cooperative relationship with Ping An, so it's impossible for him to target you.”

“I remember the person in charge is named Kong Linlan. Miss, have you offended her?”

“I argued with her at the discussion meeting.” Jiang Fei could guess Kong Linlan's intention without even thinking:

“Kong Linlan is doing this simply because Ping An stole the military store's business, so she can't make money and is deliberately retaliating against us.”

“At the discussion meeting not long ago, she and Pei Wenlong worked in concert, trying to make me hand over all the supplies in the Small Mall.”

Niu Er: “Then tomorrow we'll go to the Base Leader to complain and get back all the contribution points that Kong Linlan cheated us out of.”

Han Yang: “Kong Linlan is the Base Leader's person. What if he doesn't side with us?”

Jiang Fei had an idea. She picked up the walkie-talkie and called Mo Yanan:

“Can you help me find out how many relatives and friends Kong Linlan has? It's best if you can get photos.”

“As payment, I'll give you 3 barrels of abalone and 10 jars of mixed grain flour.”

Mo Yanan: “I'll have someone investigate right away.”

Cutting off communication, Jiang Fei put down the walkie-talkie.

Xiao Chuxia, beside her, was completely confused: “Miss, why do you want to find Kong Linlan's relatives and friends?”

Jiang Fei: “Kong Linlan won't shop at Ping An, but her relatives and friends will.”

“She sells things to us at high prices, so we'll sell to her relatives and friends at high prices. Then we'll let those people deal with her.”

Xiao Chuxia suddenly understood.

Miss always has more ideas!

Seeing Jiang Zhengkang still looking troubled, Jiang Fei said,

“Uncle, you don't have to worry about the Base Leader.”

“What we're doing is just giving her a taste of her own medicine; we haven't done anything excessive.”

“I'm thinking about Xiao Shi.” Jiang Zhengkang raised his hand and stroked Jiang Xiaoshi's head:

“Xiao Shi is nine years old this year. If it weren't for the apocalypse, he should be in fourth grade.”

“When I went to buy paper and pens yesterday, I heard customers in the store talking about the Yucai Academy at the Base.”

“That's a place specially for cultivating talents at the Base, regardless of age or gender. People can learn all kinds of knowledge there, such as agronomy, medicine, equivalent to schools before the apocalypse.”

“Xiao Shi can't always spend his days with us in the Small Mall. I want to send him to study, but I don't know how to get a spot.”

“It's said that spots at Yucai Academy are very hard to get, and you need someone inside to introduce you to get in.”

Jiang Fei also felt that Jiang Xiaoshi should learn something.

None of them could stay by Jiang Xiaoshi's side forever.

With a skill, even if they were accidentally separated in the future, Jiang Xiaoshi could survive in the apocalypse.

“I'll inquire about Yucai Academy these two days and try to get a spot for Xiao Shi.”

She had been in the Capital for so long, yet she had never paid attention to Yucai Academy.

After dinner, everyone finished cleaning up the dishes and prepared to leave. Jiang Fei called out to Ling Zhaorui, Su Liuyuan, Xiao Chuxia, and Lu Yu.

“You guys leave a bit later; I need your help with something…”

Before her words even finished, Cao Xiuhong at the door let out a gasp.

“Come quickly and see!”
