Chapter 107: It’s You

Liu Yun blushed in embarrassment, then looked at the others and asked, "Should we have breakfast now?"

Gu Zhenwei’s eyes lit up at her words. "Yes! I’m very hungry now."

"What do you want to eat?" Liu Yun asked.

Seeing that nobody was around, Ye Xuan said, "Let’s have some porridge and canned meat."

"Alright."

Liu Yun took out five portions of self-heating porridge, five bottles of mineral water, three cans of canned meat, and three cans of canned fruit from her Dimensional Space, then distributed the food and water to the others.

While they were having breakfast, Lian Tianci was supervising the distribution of supplies to the survivors.

Watching the long lines forming in front of the tent, he asked, "How many people will go back to the base with us?"

The soldier flipped open the notebook, then checked the list and replied, "There are fewer than fifty people who will go back with us to the base. However, most of these survivors are ability users. One young woman is even a spatial-element ability user."

Listening to the soldier’s report, Lian Tianci’s eyes flickered for a second as he thought, ’Less than fifty people... Although this isn’t even a fraction of the total number of survivors leaving the convoy today, these people should be able to increase the base’s strength in the future.’

With that in mind, Lian Tianci calmly ordered, "Tell them to finish the distribution in thirty minutes. We should leave before the sun rises any higher."

"Yes, Captain."

Receiving the order, the soldier went to inform the staff distributing the supplies.

Thirty minutes later, the soldiers boarded the military trucks and buses, then continued on their way to the Lie Huo Military Base.

Standing on the roadside, the survivors watched the convoy disappear into the distance, then turned around and walked toward the empty Niu Ma Village with numb expressions.

Inside one of the military trucks, besides Liu Yun and her friends, forty soldiers were sitting in neat rows.

Sitting in the corner, Liu Yun secretly observed them. When she saw a familiar face among the soldiers, her eyes lit up.

’Eh? Isn’t he one of the soldiers I gave Refreshing Lemon Tea to before?’

While Liu Yun was staring at him, the soldier sensed her gaze. Opening his eyes, he turned around and met Liu Yun’s gaze. He paused for a second, then his eyes lit up as he recalled who she was.

Smiling at her, the soldier waved and greeted her politely, "Comrade, it’s you."

Liu Yun smiled, then nodded at him. "Hello, Comrade. I never expected to see you again."

The soldier grinned, but before he could say anything else to Liu Yun, the soldiers sitting inside the military truck looked at him with meaningful expressions.

One of the soldiers sitting beside him nudged his arm with his elbow and teasingly asked, "Yuan Li, who is that beautiful lady? Is she your girlfriend?"

Yuan Li blushed at his question and quickly shook his head. "Don’t talk nonsense! She is the one who gave me the lemon tea before."

When the soldiers heard this, they all turned to look at Liu Yun with shining eyes.

Startled by their sudden, intense gazes, Liu Yun’s smile froze, and she stammered, "Wh–what’s wrong?"

Realizing that the soldiers were staring at Liu Yun like a pack of hungry wolves, Ye Xuan’s expression sank. He moved slightly and blocked the soldiers’ gazes with his body.

Facing Ye Xuan’s cold expression, the soldiers came back to their senses.

As they suddenly became very interested in the military truck’s interior, Yuan Li coughed lightly and said, "Comrade, thank you for your lemon tea. My brothers and I like it very much."

Liu Yun’s interest was piqued when she heard this. Peeking out from behind Ye Xuan, she smiled at the soldier and asked, "I hope the lemon tea wasn’t spoiled. Did you feel anything after drinking it?"

Hearing her question, Yuan Li recalled the refreshing fragrance and delicious taste of the lemon tea.

Licking his dry lips, he nodded and truthfully said, "The lemon tea is very delicious, and the smell is very refreshing. Just smelling it can refresh our minds after a lack of sleep, not to mention drinking it."

"I felt refreshed and full of energy after drinking just a few mouthfuls. Thanks to your lemon tea, we managed to survive the black vines’ attack last night."

Liu Yun took note of Yuan Li’s review of the Refreshing Lemon Tea’s effects, then thought, ’I see. Looks like Refreshing Lemon Tea can also have the same effect on other people besides me. If this is the case, maybe I can repackage the System Store product and sell it to earn crystal cores.’

While she was thinking, Yuan Li and the soldiers exchanged glances.

After a moment of hesitation, Yuan Li thickened his skin and carefully asked, "Comrade, do you still have more lemon tea?"

Hearing this, Liu Yun came out of her thoughts and looked at him.

Seeing her staring at him in silence, Yuan Li quickly added, "Of course, we won’t take your things for free. We are willing to buy your lemon tea."

Yuan Li thought for a second, then continued, "Comrade, you can just tell us the price. If the price is acceptable and you are willing to sell it, we want to buy some from you."

As soon as Liu Yun heard this, her eyes lit up. ’Heaven! Isn’t this like receiving a pillow when I’m sleepy?’

While Liu Yun’s mind was racing as she calculated her potential profit, Yuan Li and the soldiers waited, holding their breath.

Sitting around Liu Yun, Ye Xuan and the others were also staring at her, silently waiting for her to make her decision.

Looking at Liu Yun’s thoughtful expression, Ye Xuan leaned closer and whispered, "Younger Sister Liu, lemon tea is a rare delicacy right now. If you don’t want to sell it, I can help you reject them."
