Chapter 226: Chapter 219: Splitting Up to Explore (Double Monthly Tickets)"Who was that person?" After the armored vehicle left, KIKI walked over to Lin Xian and asked curiously. Lin Xian squinted slightly, speaking in a deep voice: "It’s an organization called the SIID Foundation that seems to be the backer behind the ’Special Item Research Department’ mentioned in the information you provided before." "Oh?" KIKI frowned: "From the Federation?" Lin Xian shook his head: "According to what she said, they are a neutral organization. They probably noticed us when we were ascending the elevator." "It’s because they noticed your mechanical superpower, isn’t it?" KIKI glanced at Lin Xian, blinking her eyes and immediately understood. "She threw you an olive branch, hoping to recruit you?" "Recruit...," Lin Xian laughed outright: "Are we bandits to be recruited?" "By the way," Lin Xian asked: "Do you know if there are any large laboratories or military bases near Shijiu Lake?" With Lin Xian’s question, KIKI furrowed her brows: "As for military bases, based on the information I gathered before, there seems to be none. If it’s newly established or highly classified, then I wouldn’t know. As for large laboratories, I’ve never heard of them either. Such institutions should be found on civilian maps, right?" "Then forget it." Crunch~ Lin Xian crushed a small metal brace with his left hand and devoured it. The brace extended a few meters from the ground, resembling a simple metallic arm. "Hey, what did you just do?" KIKI immediately asked after noticing Lin Xian’s small action. "Nothing," Lin Xian squinted slightly: "Just installed a communication device on that car." KIKI heard and widened her eyes: "You want to use the communication device as a signal locator to track them? But this thing loses signal at a distance, and with the dark tides, tracking and locating is impossible." "Basic things have basic uses. Who said I intend to track and locate?" Lin Xian turned to KIKI: "Just help me confirm the car’s direction out of the city. Moreover, being prepared is better than not. If one day this car tries to track us, we can find out in advance." Although Hua Xiaoling said they are neutral, Lin Xian knew that regardless of the faction, there is always a certain interest orientation, so he is cautious, keeping things under tight wraps. But speaking of collaboration, if he wanted to cooperate, why not choose the Phoenix Society? With night approaching, these civilian foundational laboratory groups might not even ensure their own safety, let alone others. "Alright then~," KIKI gave Lin Xian a scrutinizing look: "I feel like you’re getting more cunning, like an old fox." Lin Xian furrowed his brow at her, scoffing: "That’s because I learned from you. In the apocalypse, everyone has to be on guard." KIKI glanced at him with disdain: "Hmph, blame me, typical man." ... Back in the vehicle, Chen Sixuan finished counting the traded supplies in compartment 7. Seeing Lin Xian enter, she happily said. "Lin Xian, we exchanged quite a lot of supplies this time. I did a quick calculation; even if we thirty-plus people eat three meals a day, it would last a month." Weapons nearly filled compartment 5 and were mostly cleared out, traded for many useful supplies. Chen Sixuan let out a sigh of relief: "If it weren’t for the Fu Lu Shou Team, it would have gone smoother than expected." "Hey, Sister Chen." KIKI walked over with a cheerful smile: "Those folks bought so many weapons from us—that’s even smoother, wouldn’t you say?" Lin Xian was somewhat surprised at the number; it was his first time using his superpower to earn supplies, and the outcome was unexpectedly fruitful. Sha Sha hugged a jar of pickled cucumbers and laughed: "That idiot never imagined that our Brother Lin is like a weapons factory, couldn’t buy out all we have." "Indeed." KIKI looked at the shelves brimming with supplies and flew over to hug Lin Xian’s shoulder, joyfully saying: "I told you, with Lin Xian’s superpower, we truly won’t need to worry about food in the future~" "Are you treating me like a cow!" S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Xian glared at her: "Oh smart one, crafting things demands time, energy, and materials. Plus, low-end weapons aren’t selling as well. It’s not easy to feed a vehicle full of people." If the Fu Lu Shou Team came to buy high-firepower weapons, Lin Xian really couldn’t whip those up in bulk quickly; it could be troublesome. KIKI chuckled: "Hehe, then I misspoke. You’re not a cow; you’re a stud~" "KIKI, what is a stud?" Sha Sha asked curiously. "A stud is... mu-mu-mu" Just as KIKI was about to explain, Lin Xian covered her mouth with his hand and glared at her: "Do you even know what a stud is? Stop misleading the kids." KIKI broke free from his hand and earnestly told Sha Sha: "A stud is a horse responsible for breeding, it’s very hardworking, like your Brother Lin." "Oh, then Brother Lin is indeed very hardworking." Sha Sha nodded in agreement. Chen Sixuan’s face turned red, while Lin Xian was left speechless, puzzled about where this young lady picked up such random phrases. Just then, KIKI leaned closer to Lin Xian and whispered in his ear: "Especially certain people are so diligent at night~" "Really? Seems like you’re too idle at night." Lin Xian retaliated: "Why don’t you help out next time?" "No way!" KIKI blushed and backed away hurriedly, lowering her voice as she glared at Lin Xian. "Lin Xian." Seeing KIKI about to start rambling, Chen Sixuan quickly interrupted, addressing Lin Xian: "What are our plans next? Should we arrange for the team to go out exploring again?"
