After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 402 Exchange Successful

As expected, Lin Mo immediately agreed after Lin Liuyi came to ask about the earth fruit.

If it's not such a good thing, who could refuse?

Moreover, their water storage system just happened to malfunction.

"But, Water Puff Fruit? Liu Yi, wait a minute."

When handing over supplies that day, Lin Mo didn't hand them over yet because he didn't know what a Water Ball Fruit was.

Now that she knows it's actually stored fresh water, she's not calm anymore.

They used a piece of rice to cut open the skin of the fruit, and the water inside the fruit immediately gushed out.

Lin Mo picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, so fast that Jin Feng and the others couldn't stop him.

"Lin Mo!" Zhang Yuan rushed over quickly; this was his lucky star.

How could I have drunk it when I had no idea what was in the cup?

Jin Feng and Chu Xin also gathered around, "Lin Mo, how are you? Do you need to go to the infirmary?"

Lin Mo swallowed the water in his mouth, even tasting a hint of sweetness, and then quickly waved his hand.

"I'm fine, this fruit is full of water! It's drinkable water!"

Lin Mo's eyes sparkled as he recalled Lin Liuyi's statement that the other party was willing to engage in large-scale exchanges.

"What?" Jin Feng and the others were also extremely shocked.

At the time, everyone thought this fruit was some kind of unfamiliar fruit, like a watermelon, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that they heard Lin Mo say that the water inside was drinkable, they all got excited.

There's no other way; water has become an extremely precious resource in their world!

Zhang Yuan even picked up the peel of the water pear and squeezed it. There was no water left; the peel was just a thin membrane.

"Zhang Yuan, what are you eating!" Jin Feng shouted angrily, and then quickly snatched the remaining fruit peel from Zhang Yuan's mouth.

"This stuff hasn't even been tested yet, how can you eat everything?"

Zhang Yuan chewed on the fruit. "Didn't Sister Mo say that this fruit is full of water? I was thinking that if the fruit is edible, the peel should be okay too. I must say, it's quite delicious. It tastes like jelly."

Zhang Yuan chewed so hard his mouth was almost splitting open; the taste was really good.

Seeing Zhang Yuan's reaction, Jin Feng also fell silent.

"How about we try some?" Lin Mo suggested.

"Yes, yes, let's try it first, so we can tell everyone how to eat it later, right?" Chu Xin was eager to try it after hearing Zhang Yuan's words.

Jin Feng quickly divided the fruit peel into three pieces, and then the three of them stuffed the peel into their mouths together.

What? You say it's too dirty and you want to wash it?

Washing is out of the question. Water is such a precious resource; how could it be used for washing things?

Besides, they saw that the fruit peel was crystal clear and not dirty at all.

The group chewed and chewed, and Zhang Yuan was right, it really was delicious!

Wouldn't it be great if the other party used this to exchange for the earth fruit?

Lin Mo and the others discussed asking Lin Liuyi to bring some more Water Ball Fruits so they could hand them over to the Underground City and discuss the matter.

The atmosphere within the Underground Council was not good at this time.

Zhao Tianming was the first to break the silence: "The water tank in Zone C developed a crack three days ago, but we've been keeping it a secret."

"But it won't last much longer," he said bitterly. "The polymer adhesive can only barely hold it together."

"Worse still, we've discovered that the aquifer is rapidly receding. Experts say it could dry up completely within three months."

Three months.

This word hangs in the air like a sharp sword.

The underground city was designed to accommodate 20,000 people, but it's currently crammed with nearly 23,000.

If the aquifer dries up...

No one dared to imagine what might happen.

"What about the nearby dungeons?" the guild leader asked.

“The nearest underground city is a hundred kilometers away. I’ve inquired, and it can only accommodate a thousand people,” someone quickly replied.

A thousand people is a drop in the ocean compared to the twenty-three thousand people in the city.

"A thousand people it is. Let's continue to inquire in some more distant dungeons," the guild leader said.

“If it’s any further, our protective suits might not be able to withstand walking outside for that long,” someone replied hesitantly.

“We still have to leave. If the aquifer dries up, staying here will mean certain death. We have to leave, even if we can’t,” the chairman said resolutely.

"We are responsible for the people of the underground city!"

"Yes!"

"And we'll be the last to leave."

No one refuted this last statement.

Zhao Tianming felt a pang of sorrow. Why was it so difficult for humans to even survive?

However, thinking about the supplies that Jin Feng and the others had just handed over, he felt a little better, so he decided to cheer everyone up.

"Speaking of which, recently a team from the dungeon turned in watermelons and ice cream!" Zhao Tianming's words broke the dull atmosphere.

"Oh my, watermelon! It's been so many years!"

"Yes, it's amazing that you can still find watermelons and ice cream these days. I've been craving some."

Zhao Tianming brought out the sliced ​​watermelon and ice cream, which were placed in a refrigerator. Of course, he had already taken the seeds and given them to the research department.

"Eat up, everyone, but you'll still lose points!" The guild leader said quickly, seeing everyone's expectant eyes.

"Of course! Representative Zhao, remember to deduct it, we can't eat for free!"

Seeing that the president had agreed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was just points, after all; they had been saving them up all along anyway.

Although the promise was to let everyone eat as much as they wanted, each person only received a palm-sized watermelon and several pieces of ice cream.

However, no one complained; everyone carefully savored the delicious food.

Maybe we won't be able to eat it anymore tomorrow.

By the time Lin Mo and his group arrived at the door, the meeting had already ended.

Zhao Tianming is helping to arrange the evacuation routes for the personnel; the transfer of 23,000 people is no simple matter.

Therefore, when Lin Mo took out two water-ball fruits, he didn't react at all.

Zhao Tianming carefully took the two water puffs. "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

“I said that this water puff fruit contains fresh water, and the outer skin is also edible. Most importantly, someone wants to trade this water puff fruit for our local fruit, with no limit on the amount.”

The translucent water pods shimmered with an alluring luster under the dim light, revealing the liquid life flowing within.

Zhao Tianming looked at the water puff fruit in disbelief, then at Lin Mo and the others.

Fresh water? Unlimited?

Lin Mo nodded heavily. Yes, that's exactly what Lin Liuyi said.

Zhao Tianming quickly stuffed the water puff into his pocket. "Let's go find the president!"

Freshwater resources, and there's no limit!

Such an important matter could not be decided by him alone, so Zhao Tianming immediately decided to take them to find the chairman.

But halfway there, he started to feel uneasy. "You really didn't lie to me, did you?"

He thought it was a bit unbelievable; these people couldn't possibly be joking about him, could they?
