Chapter 131 The price is quite reasonable.
On the way, He Ci tentatively asked Luo Tingyu, "Actually, I'm quite curious, how did you, a nearsighted person who is almost half blind, survive in the apocalypse filled with zombies?"
"Have you heard of superpowers?"
Uh, so straightforward? He Ci glanced at him in surprise, his eyes narrowed slightly, "So you are one of them?"
"Me?" Luo Tingyu pointed at herself, not quite believing that he thought so highly of her, "You think too highly of me."
"Is not it?"
Luo Tingyu leaned back in the chair, folded his hands and rested them on the back of his neck, looking relaxed and at ease. "As for me, I can only say that luck is greater than ability."
"I can tell from the first glance that you are a foreigner who has no idea what the current situation in Shucheng is like."
"..." Why does this person's mouth ask for a beating? If He Ci wasn't driving, he would definitely treat Luo Tingyu to a fist-fighting teaching meal on "How to Have a High Emotional Intelligence Chat".
As the two chatted, they could see the entrance to the town ahead. They had only driven two miles, so it seemed quite close. He Ci saw two people standing at the intersection from a distance, and they were holding guns?
Before the car got close, the two men, one with a gun pointed at it, and the other stood in the middle of the road, motioning for them to stop. He Ci stopped the car and asked Luo Tingyu in the passenger seat, "Are these two people responsible for standing guard?"
"Well, I guess so. They are the city lord's people."
"Are you stopping us because you are not allowed to bring weapons in? Or is it that the city lord here is not willing to let strangers into the city?" Looking at the man who was walking towards the car just after parking, He Ci frowned slightly.
Hearing his questions one after another, Luo Tingyu thought He Ci was afraid that the other party would not let him enter the city. He turned around and glanced at him with amusement, "Don't be nervous. The sentry is just to ensure safety and prevent nearby zombies from entering the city. In fact, the Lord of Shucheng welcomes new survivors. He will give a big gift to every new survivor."
Luo Tingyu rolled down the window, leaned over and greeted the person who came, "It's me, Brother Long."
The muscular man who had not yet come close heard the familiar voice and quickly asked his companion to put down the gun, "So it's Xiao Si? Where did you find the pickup truck? I can't recognize you after you changed the car."
"It's because of the previous ditch. Oh, let's not talk about it."
"Hey? Who's this unfamiliar face?" The man who came to the car window couldn't help but ask when he saw the greeting card on the driver's seat.
"He is my cousin who came from afar and has come to seek refuge with me." Luo Tingyu glanced at He Ci and said deliberately, "Is City Lord Yin all right?"
"He's fine. We haven't seen him every day. I'm afraid he's having a good time, letting that vicious woman order us around." The man let them go while chatting.
As he entered the city, He Ci saw many people walking around the street stalls. Most of the transactions between them were barter. Of course, there were also many transactions with money, which depended on the needs of both parties. The most important thing was that some people looked like mutants.
When He Ci saw a man with a tail on the side of the road, he stared at him curiously for a few more seconds, and subconsciously compared the similarity with Shou Sui's tail. Perhaps the man sensed his gaze, and the man turned around and glared at him fiercely.
According to what Tianqing in my mind said after his investigation, everyone here is a supernatural being.
"You've seen it all along the way. They are not ordinary humans." Luo Tingyu suddenly said to him.
"The people here used to be survivors who had fled from all directions. They gathered together and clung to each other to survive the zombies. Later, a woman brought a drug that claimed to be able to fight the zombie virus and asked people to inject it voluntarily. At first, people did not believe it, but the leader Yin Yu was the first to stand up and let everyone try it out. After that, he became a superpower. Naturally, he also became the lord of the city here, and people are willing to respectfully call him the Lord of Dawn City."
After hearing this, He Ci frowned and asked, "Is the woman you are talking about called Amber?"
"I don't know about that, because I came late, and I heard all this from Brother Long just now." Luo Tingyu shrugged, "But, I heard that she is a hot blonde beauty, very beautiful, but it's a pity that I came too late and didn't get to see her face."
Blonde beauty? Hot body? It seems that the superpowers here are indeed caused by Amber. He Ci is a little confused. Why is Amber so obsessed with creating batches of superpowers?
"After that, every survivor who came to Shucheng would be given a tube of medicine by the city lord Yin Yu. I think it was that woman's request. She helped people like this without asking for money or fame. Where can we find such a kind person in the apocalypse? If I could marry a woman like her in my life, how comfortable it would be! I would die without regrets."
"..." He Ci's face was dark, and he couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "So, they also gave you the medicine, and you injected it?"
"What else?" Luo Tingyu sighed, "Alas, it's just that a useless person like me hasn't awakened any special abilities, it's just that my physical fitness has improved a little and my strength has become a little stronger. So the reason I can live until now is completely due to luck! Oh, and the city lord and Brother Long have taken good care of me."
As he was speaking, He Ci had already followed Luo Tingyu's instructions, turning left and right, and drove the car to the destination he mentioned.
After getting off the car, He Ci looked up and saw that it was a restaurant so simple that the sign on the lintel was carved and hung by himself?
Opening a restaurant in the apocalypse? Who has so much leisure and elegance? Selling food to zombies or to humans? Can you make money? Where do the ingredients come from? Yes, the blind man provided them with a kind of piranha ingredients.
He Ci looked around in amazement. There were so many other stores like this on the busy street. He hadn't seen such a scene for more than a year. It was as if the end of the world had ended and the human world had rebuilt civilization.
Luo Tingyu greeted the people in the restaurant, and then the restaurant sent two people out to move the two large baskets of piranhas from the trunk of the car into the store.
"What do you mean? I gave you two thousand dollars last time, but this time you didn't even give me one thousand. You didn't even give me other supplies to exchange. Aren't you bullying me?"
He Ci was just about to walk around when he heard a quarrel coming from the people standing in front of the restaurant. He couldn't help but walk towards Luo Tingyu, "What's wrong?"
"It's too unfair! I brought two large baskets of fish, but they only gave me one thousand yuan to fool me! How can I exchange such a small amount of money for other daily necessities?" Luo Tingyu was very angry.
"Don't be so shameless!" The man from the restaurant who was doing business with Luo Tingyu sneered with disdain. At the man's signal, two muscular men who looked like thugs came out of the room to support the scene.
"Who is shameless? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you come in numbers!" Luo Tingyu rolled up his sleeves and took a few steps forward, looking fearless at all.
Seeing this, the man drew his weapon from his waist, looking like a complete rogue.
Luo Tingyu squinted her eyes but couldn't see clearly what the man was holding. She couldn't help but ask He Ci, "What did he take out?"
"A sharp knife, a machete about 40 centimeters long." He Ci said seriously.
When Luo Tingyu heard this, his face, which had been indignant just now, suddenly smiled, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! We are old customers now, and I suddenly think this price is quite reasonable."
He Ci: “…” What a flexible person.
