The man pointed the direction to Shen Xun. In the closed cab, the car's air conditioner buzzed.

Halfway through the car, the man called to stop, and Shen Xun stopped the car on the side of the road. He led the way, and Shen Xun followed behind him.

Along the way, there were large and small potholes on the road, which were obviously mines that had been mined. The man and Shen Xun stopped in front of a mine.

On the ground were marks drawn by a man. The man raised his foot and pressed on the mark, erasing the pattern, "right below."

The man walked down first, and Shen Xun took out the flashlight from his backpack. It was pitch dark in the mine, unlike the ground where there was still some moonlight.

This mine had obviously been mined before, and the walls were empty. Shen Xun followed the man inside.

Finally, the man stretched out his hand and pushed away a stone. A hole was revealed behind the stone, and the man got in. Shen Xun followed him when he saw him entering.

After crawling in the passage for two minutes, there was the sound of a man's feet landing in front of him, and Shen Xun shone the flashlight in his hand.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, the entrance to the cave was full of crystals. The density of the crystals was finer than that of the ore, and only a few crystals were produced from a pile of ore.

Shen Xun jumped out of the hole with both feet. The man stood in the passage and looked at Shen Xun. The mine was not big, but the ore was dense.

After checking around, the man climbed out. The man didn't have a flashlight, so Shen Xun used the light to let him go out first. After the man went out, Shen Xun raised his hand to collect the ore into the space.

More than 30,000 kilograms, there was just enough grain left in the truck. The man walked out of the mine in the dark and sat outside waiting for Shen Xun.

The two returned to the car, and Shen Xun told the man not to go to the mine again, and asked people to mine the ore inside overnight.

The man believed it, and Shen Xun saw that it was still early, so he stopped the truck at a fork in the road and asked the man to find a delivery tool. The food could be given to him now.

The man was so excited that he asked Shen Xun to wait for him for half an hour and he would come back as soon as he went.

Zhou Nan was waiting at the intersection. When she saw the man coming back, she told the man that she had a tricycle that she could lend to the man, but she only needed some food in exchange.

"I only want ten potatoes," Zhou Nan didn't want more.

The man thought for three seconds and nodded in agreement. Zhou Nan shouted into the grass, and a man on crutches came out.

The two of them dug through dead grass that was more than one meter high. Inside was the pedal tricycle. Seeing this man, there was something he didn't understand.

But when he thought about the food he was about to receive, the man didn't care so much anymore. He probably rushed back to the base to borrow someone else's car and would have to pay more than ten potatoes for the food.

"Let's go," Zhou Nan got on the pedal tricycle, "Dad, you can sit in the back," the man said, leaning on crutches and sitting on the board.

Zhou Nan was riding a tricycle and soon saw Shen Xun's truck on the side of the road. Shen Xun didn't say anything when he saw Zhou Nan.

He directly opened the door of the trunk compartment and took out the man's food. The man was so excited that he felt full of strength when he saw so many bags of food.

Without asking for Zhou Nan's help, the man loaded several bags of grain onto the tricycle by himself and closely guarded the grain. Even Zhou Nan's father wouldn't let him sit behind him, for fear that he might steal it.

"This is yours," Shen Xun put a bag of sweet potatoes on the ground, got into the car and left without even looking at him.

The man focused all his attention on his own food and didn't even see the scene between Shen Xun and Zhou Nan.

"Dad, you can sit here," Zhou Nan carried Sweet Potato into the car. His driver's seat was a soft cushion over one meter long. It could still accommodate two people if they squeezed together.

…

Half a year later.

Harvesting ore day after day, with the people brought by Zhou Nan, Shen Xun can basically harvest the mine twice a week.

Many can be collected three times.

After nightfall, Shen Xun drove the truck out of the mountain and parked the car. A long queue had already formed. The exchange point at the Liehuo Base was deserted.

At that time, Shen Xun thought they could last for a long time, but he didn't expect that they could only last for half a month, or even half a year.

Many people who belong to the Agni Base have gone to the official base in City B.

Nowadays, the hotter the weather, the more rapidly the alienated mosquitoes reproduce, and the red-shelled ants are even more difficult to guard against.

They can burrow through the ground and pass through walls, and their shells have evolved to become even more perfect, allowing them to move unimpeded in the soil. The outer wall of City B's base was bitten through by red-shelled ants.

After the collapse, many people were crushed to death.

Shen Xun opened the car door and got out of the car, took out the tools and put them on the ground. People lined up to put the ore on the weighing machine.

Now that Shen Xun has been exchanging ores here for a long time, many people are curious about Shen Xun, but Shen Xun's unanimous answer to them is that he is doing things for others.

Some people believe it, some people don't, but now the base has stopped exchanging food for ore.

Only Shen Xun could get some food here, and they still expected Shen Xun to continue working, no matter who he was working for.

If Shen Xun doesn't change, then where will they find food?

Since the base also stopped exchanging ore for food, Shen Xun's daily workload has increased, from the original four hours to the current six hours.
