Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint

Chapter 452 - 274: Secrets (Part 3)

The treasury inside was empty, as if it had been relocated in advance."

Xu Xiang looked at Wang Hao curiously: "You broke through the outer gate, why didn’t you break in and take a look inside?"

"I was about to, but didn’t I receive your SOS?"

Wang Hao said without a hint of embarrassment or breathlessness.

"Oh! Fine then!"

Xu Xiang shrugged and continued:

"We also found a big freezer on their cafeteria side, packed with frozen meat, seafood, and the like.

These bastards, I suspect they were already running experiments there secretly before the apocalypse, the stockpile is just too abundant."

"Before the apocalypse? Impossible, right? Could they really conduct experiments under the government’s nose?"

Wang Hao found it hard to believe.

Building that secret base requires manpower and resources.

Even though this area is sparsely populated, the movement of materials shouldn’t have been able to escape the government’s notice.

"Heh."

Xu Xiang chuckled: "Maybe not unnoticed, but they managed somehow, right!"

"Uh...."

Wang Hao blinked his eyes, beginning to understand.

"We also got our hands on a huge batch of various medicinal materials and drugs, these are all precious and quite valuable.

Plus some high-precision instruments and the like."

Xu Xiang continued.

They aren’t really short on food.

Different from Su Jing over there, there’s plenty of grain here, and lots of food processing plants too.

Medicines and various high-end precision instruments are what they’re lacking.

"I won’t take any medicines or instruments, I’ll just need experts and food. I have a large population over there, food is a bit tight, and I need a large supply."

Wang Hao said calmly.

"Oh?"

An unexpected look flashed in Xu Xiang’s eyes.

He and Chen Lingxue had analyzed that Wang Hao would probably choose something like drugs, precision instruments, or portable things like Crystal Stones.

After all, it’s 400 kilometers to his gathering place, not counting detours.

He came here to act as a lobbyist.

After all, it wasn’t convenient for Chen Lingxue to come over; given her relationship with Wang Hao.

If she asked, Wang Hao would definitely agree.

But that would be a bit improper.

"Why? You thought I would want medicines or something?"

Wang Hao seemed to see through everything and chuckled:

"We don’t lack those things over there; our science, education, culture, and health sectors are quite strong, and I’m in the city, so we don’t lack drugs and precision machines."

"Uh..."

Xu Xiang admitted, genuinely envious!

Wang Hao envied them for their food, they envied Wang Hao for having medicines and various advanced instruments.

"I also brought a batch of common drugs this time, which I can exchange for food, and if you have an abundance of resources, I can pay in crystals."

This time, Wang Hao aimed to do something big in one go!

He needed to transport a large amount of resources back.

He had thirty thousand mouths waiting to be fed back there.

One pound per person means thirty thousand pounds a day!

So the resources from the secret base alone weren’t enough; he also needed to buy some from Xu Xiang and Chen Lingxue.

He didn’t want to make another trip after this.

"Haha, no problem! Do you want sweet potatoes and corn?"

Xu Xiang laughed heartily.

"Yes! Anything edible is fine."

"Then there’s no problem."

Xu Xiang and Wang Hao started discussing the details.

This is the benefit of trade, and the necessity of merchants.

What’s available in the east may not be in the west, and through trade, both parties can get what they need, allowing things to move smoothly.

From town to town, nation to nation, trade is essential.

Even in an apocalyptic world, trade is very much needed.

Trade what you have in abundance for what you lack but others have in surplus.

Unfortunately!

Now, the lack of developed transportation is limiting the growth of trade.
