Chapter 5 Second-rate Dealer
Jing Ming saw that Chu Nian could handle it.

First, he put a handful of wood to kill several mutated rats.

Then he rushed towards the direction of the leak.

If the flood really pours in.

Not to mention that their safety is at stake.

Those precious materials were wasted.

After Jing Ming left, Chu Nian went on a killing spree, and those mutated rats were no match for her.

It was cleaned up quickly.

When Jing Ming didn't come back, she filled the novice's backpack with compressed biscuits and medicine.

Medicine is a scarcer resource than food in the last days.

A tablet of antibiotics can fetch sky-high prices.

Chu Nian couldn't help but feel excited as she thought about the various toxins hidden in her backpack.

She also had the imitation gun strapped to her body.

This thing is made of rubber bullets and has no lethality unless it hits the eye.

It's actually very good for bluffing people.

Without holding it in hand and inspecting it carefully, it would be difficult for even an expert to discover that it is a Xibei product.

Sure enough, the products produced by the system are all top quality.

Potatoes, eggs and steamed buns were all taken out.

All to stuff more compressed biscuits.

What Jing Ming saw when he came back was the corpses of mutated rats all over the ground.

"Nian Nian, are you okay? Are you injured?"

Jing Ming immediately checked Chu Nian.

After making sure she was okay, I felt relieved.

Jingming was covered in water and his hands were covered in mud.

There are some dark red traces remaining at the corners of the mouth.

"You are hurt."

Chu Nian's words are certain.

"I recruited some tree roots to block the mouse hole. The energy was overdrawn a bit."

"I'll be fine if I take a break."

"The mouse hole has been blocked, don't worry."

Facing Chu Nian's worried face, Jing Ming deliberately smiled lightly.

"Eat this."

Chu Nian handed over two eggs.

Jing Ming no longer thinks he is fantasy.

He hadn't seen anything like eggs since the end of the world.

"Nian Nian eats."

Jing Ming swallowed hard and forced himself to look elsewhere.

"You can better protect me by being good."

"I still have it here." Chu Nian's heart softened.

In the apocalypse, Jing Ming can still resist the temptation of precious food like eggs.

Chu Nian trusted him a little more.

And Jing Ming didn't have any special reaction to the sudden appearance of eggs.

As if this is how it should be.

This made Chu Nian feel more relieved about him.

"I'll take care of these mice. After they're dried, they'll be good."

Jing Ming worked hard on the corpses of the rats.

Disasters are rampant in the last days and food is scarce.

No matter how disgusting these mutated mice look, they are still meat.

The original owner had eaten it before, even raw during the most difficult time.

Thinking of this, Chu Nian felt a little sick.

Look away and don't look at the movements of Jing Ming's hands.

"Nian Nian, I will take these rat meat back to the base to exchange for it tomorrow, do you think it's okay?"

"It's good that we hide here."

"But without firewood and without a flue, there was no way to deal with it."

Jing Ming asked Chu Nian for his opinion.

"Are you sure you can keep these things when you go back?"

Chu Nian didn't trust the people at the base at all.

Even though Jing Ming is a child of a powerful family, his low talent is still not treated as a human being.

Chu Nian didn't think Jing Ming could keep these supplies.

The light in Jing Ming's eyes weakened.

"It's better to find some homeless people." "You may not know that some second-rate dealers among the homeless people still follow the rules."

"They won't ruin their reputation for something like this."

Relying on the memory of the original owner.

Chu Nian knew more about the apocalypse than Jing Ming, who had been living in the base.

The location where the Erdao dealers operate is not too far from the base, so you can try your luck there.

It was impossible to tell the difference between day and night in the air-raid shelter.

Jingming climbed out three times before he was sure it was dawn.

"Nian Nian, the flood seems to have receded a little."

Jing Ming brought back good news.

"That's just right. Let's go out and see if there is a more suitable place for us to live."

"It's not safe for these things to be here."

"Once discovered by humans or other animals, we can't protect it."

Chu Nian has his own ideas.

Humans are social animals, and it is unrealistic to fight alone in the apocalypse.

She had to find a way to establish her own power.

Even if you return to the base one day, you still have to have enough say.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Jing Ming couldn't respond to Chu Nian's words.

Two men crawled out of the air raid shelter, fully armed.

The two of them were also carrying makeshift backpacks made of oil paper and tape.

Jing Ming was packed with rat meat, while Chu Nian was packed with some compressed biscuits and instant noodles.

Chu Nian found the small underground trading market based on the memory of the original owner.

"You hide here, I'll find someone."

"Unless I call you out with a code, you are not allowed to move if anything happens. Remember?"

Chu Nian is the most suitable person to do such a thing.

Jingming is responsible for protecting most of the materials, dividing labor and cooperating to minimize risks.

"Nian Nian, you must be careful."

Jing Ming is really worried.

"I was able to wander for eight years without starving to death. I have my own means of survival."

Chu Nian smiled slightly, then waded through the water and walked towards a building complex not far away.

This was originally a large shopping mall, and everything in it was robbed.

Even the doors and windows had been taken away, leaving only an empty room.

Many homeless people live here.

It has also become a small underground black market.

Even though it is the end of the world, capable people can still live well.

Chu Nian wandered around twice before being spotted.

She led the person into the dark, turned around and put the dagger on the person's neck.

"Guess why I, a woman, dare to come here alone?"

"Didn't your boss teach you?"

"In the apocalypse, are women and children walking alone the most important to be wary of?"

Chu Nian pressed the dagger forward, and a line of blood came out.

"No, no, misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"Girl, please be careful. I still have an eighty-year-old mother and a baby waiting to be fed at home."

"They are all here to make a living. There is no need to fight and kill them as soon as they meet, right?"

The man who was forced by Chu Nian was thin and small, with a mustache.

Chu Nian recognized this man, nicknamed "Mouse".

"Huh? Have you stayed here before? Why does it look familiar?"

"Rat", a second-rate trafficker, is the most discerning, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a photographic memory.

"It's almost too late!"

Chu Nian was determined to suppress the person at once, otherwise he might suffer a lot in the future.

After several threats, "Rat" finally figured out Chu Nian's purpose.

"Sister, if you had said that you had supplies that you wanted to exchange, why would we have to go to war with each other?"

"Whatever you want to exchange, just ask."

"I dare not say anything else. There is nothing in the East City that I can't get."

"Mouse" boasted Haikou.

"I want an escape pod, do you have one?"

Chu Nian moved the dagger away and rolled his eyes at the other party.

Don't be afraid of the wind blowing your tongue.
