Chapter 174 Bartering With the Military
Unexpectedly, the narrow–eyed man started complaining. “Colonel Sutton, these people shocked us with an electric fence! And they have electricity! They have generators! Why do they have generators and we don’t? This should be confiscated!”
After saying that, he rubbed his hands and grinned. “Colonel Sutton, you know, I found out about this generator first. Shouldn’t I get some credit? Maybe a position in the official ranks…
Francis’s frown deepened, and then he kicked him. “Haven’t I told you? Anything above the 64th floor is private property. It’s none of the government’s business! Don’t mess with anyone above the 64th!”
Then Francis pulled a soldier over and pointed at the men in front of him. “Take these guys and give them their punishment.”
Instantly, a chorus of wails filled the air.
Caroline, however, was very pleased. Good, this guy understands reason. No wonder Commander Ball sent him.
Smiling, Caroline reached out her hand to Francis. “Hello, I’m Caroline Sinclair.”
Francis turned, saluted her and the others, and then shook Caroline’s hand. “Hello, I’m Francis Sutton. I’ll be managing this shelter from now on. I just wanted to talk to you anyway, Lieutenant Richter said you have a batch of food to trade for supplies.”
Caroline nodded.
Francis happily patted her hand. “Perfect! Our food supply is running low! I’m free today, so let’s settle the food transfer first.”
Tyler spoke up, “Colonel Sutton, we can give the food anytime, but what about the supplies. you promised? Are they ready?”
Francis froze for a moment. “The pork is ready, and there’s some refined flour and pasta. But some of the hydroponic equipment isn’t ready yet.”
“Sorry, Colonel Sutton. In that case, we can’t trade with you,” Caroline said apologetically. Francis immediately panicked. “Hey! We’d never scam you, so don’t worry! We’ve rescued a lot of people these past two days, and we’re running low too. How about I write you an IOU?”
“Are my two pigs ready?” Caroline asked.

Chapter 174 Bartering With the Military
“They’re already on the way,” Francis said.
After discussing, Caroline and the others decided they’d take Francis’s IOU.
+5 Free Coins,
It wasn’t safe to leave the food outside, and it would be good to have the military take it quickly.
Soon, they locked the door and followed Francis oUIL.
Of course, Raven stayed behind to guard the house.
Caroline had Francis bring a few extra soldiers, but when they saw the food buried below, she winced a little.
After a few hours of hard work, all the food was dug up.
Everything was in perfect condition, nothing spoiled. A few corn cobs got split in half, but that didn’t matter–they were still edible.
Francis was thrilled, holding Caroline’s hand. “This is lifesaving food! I heard from Lieutenant Richter that you also know where the food–processing machines are. Is that true?”
I
Tyler quietly stepped forward, taking Francis’s hand. “I know where the machines are, I can take you there.”
Caroline glanced at Tyler. He knows about the machines too?
But thinking about Tyler’s near–perfect memory, it wasn’t surprising.
“Great. Let’s go then, Francis said, moving quickly.
Caroline stopped him. “Colonel Sutton, we haven’t agreed on the terms yet. What do we get 1
a machine?”
Francis looked a little awkward. “Honestly, the military is pretty broke right now.”
Caroline was speechless.
Francis was completely different from Niko.
He was decisive and ruthless, but when it came to bargaining, he played the pity card.
