The nutrition paste seemed to be of little value at first glance. After all, the citizens of the underground city ate healthy food, and they were used to eating delicious food even during the apocalypse.
No one would be willing to buy the nutrition paste at this time.
However, if the nutrition paste was an export product and was specially provided to the sanctuary, it was undoubtedly the best choice!
Furthermore, the sanctuary did not know what the nutrition paste was made of, nor did they know how low the cost was!
With such a deal, the underground city would definitely profit greatly!
Soon, Zhao Feng arranged for an empty factory and started to arrange multiple assembly lines to vigorously produce the nutrition paste provided by the system.
After a few days of production and accumulating a certain amount of nutrition products, Zhao Feng immediately sent people to the government sanctuary as trade representatives to negotiate with them.
Opening a trade channel between the two would be Zhao Feng's first step into the sanctuary!
At this moment, in the government's sanctuary.
Zhu Jun looked at his subordinate and frowned.
"You said that there is a private sanctuary planning to trade with us? Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
Zhu Jun was already getting impatient. A private sanctuary?
These sanctuaries were probably still waiting for aid and material assistance from the government sanctuary. What extra things could they trade?
The subordinate nodded and replied.
"Director Zhu, it's true. The other party is said to be from the development zone, so there's a certain level of credibility."
"As far as I know, the development zone had a lot of storage warehouses before the apocalypse, so it's not surprising that they have a lot of supplies."
"Director Zhu, please think twice. Although the supplies in the sanctuary are still quite substantial, the number of people entering was not controlled when the disaster broke out, causing the supplies to be quite limited."
"If we can open up trade and collect more resources from other sanctuaries, it will be very important for us!"
After hearing this, Zhu Jun fell into deep thought. His fingers continuously tapped on the table.
After a while, he finally nodded and said.
"Alright, send someone to talk to them and see what they want in exchange. Report to me immediately if there's any new information."
"Yes!"
In the underground city, Ding Yao found Zhao Feng with a happy expression.
"Zhao Feng, the government has agreed to cooperate with us. They are now asking us what we want to trade."
"They obviously need living supplies, but I'm not sure what we're lacking."
Zhao Feng was not surprised by this news.
The government sanctuary was short in supply, so Zhu Jun would not reject this deal.
Zhao Feng thought for a moment and decided not to reveal his purpose of trading people.
Right now, the two sides had yet to cooperate, and the trust between them was very shallow.
If he were to expose the population requirement now, it would only raise Zhu Jun's vigilance.
"First, submit the production tools on this list as well as some of the rarer chemical raw materials to the government sanctuary."
"As for the exchange ratio, you can decide. I trust your judgment."
Zhao Feng gave the authority of this matter to Ding Yao.
"Alright, don't worry. I won't let our base suffer any losses!"
Soon, the trade between the underground city and the government sanctuary officially began.
Although Zhao Feng did not request the trade of humans, the other operations were still proceeding as planned.
Through trade, the information channels inside the sanctuary were opened, and the information inside was obtained smoothly.
Three days later, the first batch of goods was officially exchanged with the sanctuary, and Zhao Feng thus obtained a lot of information about the situation within the sanctuary.
"Tell me, what's life in the sanctuary like now? What's the situation there?"
Zhao Feng looked at the captain of the transport team and asked.
"Director Zhao, as far as I know, the lives of the ordinary people in the government sanctuary can't be compared to ours at all. It can only be described as miserable."
"Although they survived, and the size of the government sanctuary is huge, the number of people there clearly exceeded the approved capacity of the sanctuary."
"I'm guessing that the sanctuary accepted people far beyond the standard on the day of the apocalypse, so the normal people in the sanctuary don't have their own personal space at all!"
"Most people can only squeeze into public spaces and only have a small space to sleep!"
"And because there are too many people, the sanctuary's ventilation system is also severely overloaded. The interior environment is extremely harsh, and not fit for humans at all!"
Zhao Feng was not surprised by this information. It was inevitable for the sanctuary to have too many people.
And the normal people in the sanctuary would never have thought that they would be in a worse state than they were now!
At the very least, the current Zhu Jun was still very responsible.
As the trade between the two sides continued, the food shortage problem in the sanctuary was finally effectively solved.
Although the ingredients used to produce the nutrition paste were very strange, the finished product was surprisingly tasty.
It had a good reputation among the sanctuary residents, and it was easy to eat and digest, so it immediately became the most popular food in the sanctuary.
However, the deterioration of the sanctuary's environment was still not resolved, and the ordinary people were still living in misery every day.
But even so, the sanctuary would still take out a large number of resources to exchange with Zhao Feng for synthetic meat and other products to enjoy.
And as time passed, more and more higher-ups in the sanctuary began to pursue these material pleasures.
It was obvious that the situation in the sanctuary was just as Zhao Feng had predicted. In fact, before Zhu Jun had become corrupted, the management system of the sanctuary had already decayed.
The administrators were becoming corrupted and used their power to enjoy themselves, not caring about the lives of the civilians in the sanctuary.
They squandered the resources stored in the warehouse to trade with Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng even received news that the government would send people to the city to search for the remaining alcohol and cigarettes every day. After these things were found, they would not fall into the hands of ordinary people.
These things would be sent to the management the moment they entered the sanctuary. After layers of exploitation, the best things would be sent to the sanctuary's director, Zhu Jun!
