Chapter 135 Asking for help
However, missing out on this batch didn't mean losing any customers, as most people in the shantytown had almost no energy stones to exchange.
The supermarket's target audience is more likely to be people living in the inner perimeter of the base.
rich!
Perhaps yesterday's deterrent effect was effective, because the subsequent transactions were filled with an atmosphere of peace.
The outside environment was terrible, filled with radiation. Also, considering safety, the two of them had barely left the supermarket since they chose the location.
Time flew by, and after unlocking the special items, I stayed a few more days before leaving the Radiation World without hesitation.
Shu Ran dared not easily collect items from the radiant plane and bring them back to her original world.
After all, even a handful of soil or a drop of water has a relatively high radiation level, and even if purified water is used, the radiation level cannot be reduced to zero.
The energy points obtained from the transactions were used to stock up on some supplies in the supermarket's procurement mall, and the rest were exchanged for energy stones with no harmful radiation after deducting the transaction fees.
Back in her original world, Shu Ran picked up the Dudu pink pig plush pillow and sank into the beanbag chair.
"Let's take a break before continuing. I've been cooped up in the shop for almost a month without going out, and I've been feeling really restless for a long time."
Yunxi cast a dust-removing spell on the two of them, then sat down on the carpet next to the beanbag chair. Looking up at the languid Shuran, she said, "We came back a few days early this time, so we can rest a bit more. If you don't want to go, you can skip the mission."
Anyway, the system doesn't have any strict requirements, let alone any penalties.
Shu Ran tilted her head listlessly and looked at the man sitting on the carpet: "Want to go horseback riding tomorrow?"
There's so little entertainment available right now, and Shu Ran desperately misses the all-powerful internet!
Notorious entertainment literature is still a good choice for passing the time.
Yunxi nodded, replying indifferently, "Okay."
He didn't care; since he no longer needed to cultivate, he had plenty of free time.
While the two of them were enjoying a peaceful life, things were taking a lot of big steps back in mainland China, and they even had to ask Shu Ran for help.
The next day, their planned itinerary was temporarily put on hold due to a visitor coming to their door.
"Looking for my help?"
Shu Ran sat upright on the sofa, looking at Huang Defa opposite her and the young man who had come with him with some confusion.
Huang Defa, standing next to the young man, remained silent, clearly indicating that the young man was in charge.
"Yes, Comrade Shu, I don't know if it's convenient for you."
"Tell me what you need me to do first!"
Shu Ran still had to give face to people from her hometown.
"You helped bring Comrade Guo Zilin and the others back safely before, but this time we had no choice. We're here for the scholars who want to return but are being prevented from doing so..."
As the young man succinctly explained the difficulties they were facing, Shu Ran seemed to be deep in thought.
She can actually help with this.
"Can I lend you my private jet so you can fly directly back to China?"
"No, we still need to transit through the port city."
As he spoke, the young man seemed a little embarrassed: "We may still need to borrow your shipping company, Comrade Shu. But don't worry, we will pay according to the market price."
"No need to mention money. I'm just idling around anyway, so I'll definitely help you out."
Shu Ran agreed readily because she genuinely wanted to help.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and science and technology are born from human wisdom.
Talent is the fundamental strength of a country.
The person is still in the US and has not made any rash moves. He is being monitored by people sent by the US.
Due to the safety concerns of the scholars, and the fact that they were in a foreign country, the team's operations were severely restricted.
Many people want to return, including several renowned professors and researchers who are already working for cutting-edge technology companies in Country M.
These are all talents that the US doesn't want to easily let go of; if they can't have them, they'll destroy them.
Bringing the person back safely will be extremely difficult.
After agreeing that someone would contact them when needed, Shu Ran got up and saw the two off.
I'm not really in the mood for horseback riding, so I'll just relax in the garden and get some fresh air!
Yunxi looked down at the petals scattered on the ground, her hands still busy making tea. "Something on your mind?"
"Huh? What? It's not really a worry."
Shu Ran paused in her hand that was plucking the petals, then activated her supernatural power. The flower, which had been ravaged and broken, instantly went through the process of withering and flourishing, and bloomed again.
Yunxi teased, "Tell me, if I keep you pondering this, the flower in your hand will go through its eighteenth cycle of growth and decay."
"Tell me, should I take this opportunity to help them bring their people back?"
Just thinking about it, you know that this mission is a life-or-death situation for both the scholars who want to return and the soldiers who are carrying it out.
Important talents who die mysteriously and unnaturally are not uncommon, even in later generations with advanced technology and strong national power, let alone now.
Yunxi understood: "You mean the opportunity to lend the cheat to others? Is there a suitable choice? The person and the cheat?"
Shu Ran looked at Yun Xi across from her with her bright eyes and nodded without hesitation, "Yes. The cheat is Anywhere Door. I'm a bit conflicted about who to use. What do you think of Wei Jing'an?"
Wei Jing'an was one of only two people Shu Ran knew who had participated in the operation to bring people back.
It has a relatively high level of trustworthiness.
The only problem is that she knows this person.
This is where her pseudonym and real identity intersect.
"If you've already made up your mind, then just do it. What's making you hesitant?"
Seeing that Shu Ran still seemed hesitant, Yun Xi poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.
"The selection of the person involved overlaps with my true identity, and there's also the issue of timing."
But now, there are no channels for Shu Ran to choose other people.
Shu Ran casually plucked some petals and sprinkled them into the brewed tea, then tossed the flower stems back into the flowerbed.
The most important problem is that just as someone asked her for help, someone else suddenly showed up with this ability.
Although it was unlikely that the two things were connected, Shu Ran still considered it, just in case.
Shu Ran rested her chin on her hand, sipping the fragrant tea with a half-hearted air, seemingly unable to taste it, her face full of confusion.
Yunxi blinked. "Do we really need to think about all this?"
"Is it possible that you're overthinking it?"
Yunxi put down her teacup, thought for a moment, and then said, "Sometimes, being too careful to avoid suspicion can actually attract attention."
If you strike the right balance, it's feasible to implement.
Shu Ran downed the tea in her cup in one gulp, put it down, and stood up. "Never mind, I'll think about it some more!"
Maybe she's overthinking it; the danger level isn't that high!
Shu Ran comforted herself with this thought, picked up the flying saucer beside her, and ran to the bushes to play with Xiao Song.
