Chapter 18: Exchange Supplies
Zhu Lin put the fire element crystal nucleus on the table, and said, [Since we don’t know the value of the crystal nucleus, we might as well exchange it with these people instead of other people we don’t know. At least, these people seem trustworthy.]
When the soldier saw the red crystal nucleus on the table, his eyes widened in surprise. This is the first time someone is willing to exchange elemental crystal nucleus for supplies. Moreover, judging from the size of this crystal nucleus, this should be a second-rank crystal nucleus.
So far, the highest level of zombies and mutants they know of are second rank. Although from the observation data, there will be higher-rank zombies and mutants in the future, but so far, no one has seen any above the second rank.
The soldier looked up at Zhu Lin and asked, "Miss, are you sure you want to exchange this second rank crystal nucleus for supplies?"
Zhu Lin nodded and asked, "How much food and water can I get by exchanging this crystal nucleus?"
When the soldier heard that she was going to exchange the crystal nucleus for food and water, he was even more surprised. When she took out this second rank crystal nucleus, he thought what she wanted was weapons, or at least a place to stay.
He really didn’t expect that when she opened her mouth, all she wanted was food and water. Since they did not expect that someone would exchange second rank elemental crystal nucleus with food and water, the soldier did not know the standard exchange rate.
He stood up, pushed the red crystal nucleus back to Zhu Lin, and said, "Please wait a moment. I need to ask my supervisor about the exchange rate."
After speaking, he left quickly. Watching his disappearing back, Zhu Lin held the red crystal nucleus and waited patiently. Not long after, the soldier came back with a middle-aged man in a soldier’s uniform.
