Cave Refuge

Seeing Ye Liuyun's voice fainting while his body swiftly approaching, Dong Tianyu became instinctively alert.

Perhaps aware of Dong Tianyu's thoughts, Ye Liuyun stopped less than half a meter away from him, looking around nervously, then cautiously said to Dong Tianyu:

"Bro, do you fancy cats? I've got various cats at my place, whether it's fully grown cats, young sleek cats or even exotic Persian cats. All are available.

Despite the city being flooded, I still have loads of cat cosplay costumes in my cat house that can satisfy your fantasy when you're petting them.

As long as you can afford it, I have purebred cats in my cattery for you to pet."

Hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Dong Tianyu's first reaction was to wonder if there was something wrong with him. Most of the survivors are struggling to afford food, who has the mood to pet cats in a cat house.

However, after seeing the lascivious grin on Ye Liuyun's face when he mentioned the cat house, Dong Tianyu suddenly realized that the cats in the cat house might be different from the ones he usually saw.

"Is your cat house a legit operation?"

Hearing Dong Tianyu's questioning, Ye Liuyun answered straightforwardly: "Definitely not, who the hell runs a legit cat house. Bro, why don't you come and give it a try?

You don't have to worry about safety, my cat house is in that office building over there. We're a high-end cat house and don't mess with shady stuff.

All kinds of cat prices are clearly marked, but if you want to pet them, you'll need to buy canned food first."

Hearing Ye Liuyun's explanation, Dong Tianyu basically understood what he meant, it was basically like buying an entrance ticket.

Even though Dong Tianyu didn't go, he was still somewhat curious, and asked, "Your cat house is so close to the Command Post, you're quite audacious huh."

Ye Liuyun didn't say anything to Dong Tianyu's questioning; he just pointed up.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's gesture, Dong Tianyu instantly understood his implication.

Turns out Ye Liuyun had some connections up above; It remained unclear whether it was a joint venture or approved by the Officials.

Just like how one used to watch late-night movies, not knowing the website was fine, but once you knew the gadget, you couldn't resist checking it out, just like that familiar website starting with a 'J'.

Dong Tianyu instantly had the urge to check it out, but remembering that he hadn't reached the foundation-building stage, he sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, I'm not ready for cat petting yet, do you have anything else besides the cat house?"

Ye Liuyun couldn't fathom what Dong Tianyu was thinking, his facial expression went from excited anticipation to looking quite hopeless.

However, upon Dong Tianyu's question, Ye Liuyun continued his sales talk: "If it's inconvenient to go to the cat house, we also have a Mutual Aid Centre. It mainly helps everyone to get surplus resources to those who are in urgent need. Of course, the survivors who received help would express their appreciation to the people who lent a hand."

Hearing Ye Liuyun's roundabout speech, Dong Tianyu was slowly losing his patience. It was nothing more than the Trade Market, but he made it sound so noble, creating the deception of a Mutual Aid Centre.

But having a second thought, he realized that it wouldn't work otherwise. Even though Ye Liuyun mentioned he had connections, in this planned economic era, if it was disclosed, it would indeed cause a stir.

"Are the sources of the goods reliable? What kind of goods are there?"

Hearing Dong Tianyu's question, Ye Liuyun knew that Dong Tianyu was interested: "There are many types of items, not fixed, as most of these items come from the salvage team. So, the items in the Mutual Aid Centre are unstable, whether you can find what you want is pure luck.

Of course, if you're after food or supplies, although it's available every day, there are more people in need. If you have something to spare, you can easily find the right person to lend a hand."

Either way, Ye Liuyun would not admit to buying and selling, he insisted it was mutual aid.

Dong Tianyu thought for a while; there were three kinds of items that could be produced steadily in the cave mansion.

The Chinese cabbage from the Automated Plantation Base has been harvested twice. Since the upgrade of the cave mansion, there's sufficient storage space in the Shadow Space. So, he would only remember the Automated Plantation Base when the machine prompted for harvesting.

The same was for the small livestock breeding area where the Luda chickens were kept. These chickens laid eggs every day. After Dong Tianyu's manual remodeling (consuming survival points), he combined the breeding area with the automatic egg processing machine.

Now, except for when the storage area was full and a notification was issued, Dong Tianyu would have forgotten the place and stored the peeled marinated Luda chicken eggs into the Shadow Space. He basically didn't go there often.

Of course, since Luda chickens were not crammed in cages like broiler chickens, many of the eggs laid were fertilized.

Dong Tianyu would occasionally use the machine to hatch some Luda chickens for replacement. At this time, the old chickens being replaced would not be wasted. After all, they were meat. After being thoroughly processed by the machine, they would be stored in the Shadow Space.

Apart from these two places, the only place left in the cave mansion that could reliably produce food was the multitude of fruit from the fruit trees. But the production of these fruits wasn't even enough for Dong Tianyu himself, so he didn't think about trading them at all.

As for the fish pond in the cave mansion, Dong Tianyu wasn't very good at it, so apart from dumping the chicken manure from the Luda chickens directly into the fish pond, he basically didn't get involved.

Dong Tianyu himself didn't like fish much, so the fish fry stocked in the fish pond were all common types. Moreover, from transporting the chicken manure to spreading it, everything was done by automatic robots.

So as to whether the fish in the pond began to breed, Dong Tianyu wasn't too clear.

After doing some calculations, Dong Tianyu found that despite his plethora of items in the Shadow Space, there were only things like Chinese cabbage, Luda chicken eggs, chicken meat, and four kinds of fruits that were stably produced in the cave mansion.

The fruits weren't even enough for him to eat, so he thought about using Chinese cabbage and Luda chicken egg to test the waters. Although he didn't know what was needed at the moment, but it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look. After being cooped up in the cave mansion for so long, he had grown tired of it.

"I have some fresh Chinese cabbage, Luda chicken eggs and chicken meat."

Having said what he could offer, excitement took over Ye Liuyun's face, contrary to the shocked expression Dong Tianyu had anticipated.

You have to know that he had offered fresh Chinese cabbage and meat. From Ye Liuyun's expression, these two things, or something similar, were not rare.

His current excitement simply exposed the joy of finding good stuff, but these stuff, although high-priced, were not uncommon there.
