Chapter 138 The Boss’s Canary (1)

Xiao He was born fifty years after the end of the world.

At this time, zombies have occupied more than 95% of the area on Earth, and the surviving humans can only hide in a few bases and survive.

After a while, as some survivors awakened their special powers, humans were able to protect themselves.

At the age of ten, Xiao He awakened a rare spatial ability and began to work outside with the search and rescue team.

At the age of 18, Xiao He created a search and rescue team, centered in his own space, and was mainly responsible for collecting supplies and bringing them back.

Because of her excellent work efficiency and team spirit of unity and cooperation, her search and rescue team quickly stood out in the base and soon became one of the best teams.

At the age of 28, Xiao He bought a man while strolling around the base auction house.

He is a big man with fair skin and tender complexion.

In the last days, the strong are respected. People with special abilities can go out to look for supplies, while ordinary people can only struggle to survive.

Some beautiful women would choose to rely on the wings of the strong, at least they would have no worries about food and clothing.

The beauties here refer not only to women, but also to men.

Many female psychics have outstanding strength, no worse than men. They have made a name for themselves in the base with their own strength and have gained a lot of reputation.

These female bosses will also keep some good-looking men as canaries.

Living in the apocalypse, there is no tomorrow after today. You may die outside while on a mission, so people with special abilities are almost all hedonists. For the sake of their beloved things, many people are willing to pay a high price to buy them.

From this, the auction house was derived.

The auction house at the base has no rules except "payment for goods". The auction items include but are not limited to items, zombies, crystal cores, humans...

Whenever there is a need, it can be sold here.

Xiao He had just returned from a mission and brought some small gadgets to the auction house to sell. When he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations from all around.

“It’s so beautiful!”

“Isn’t this the best-looking lot at auction this year?”

"Everyone is going to start looting again."

…

Listening to these conversations, Xiao He turned around curiously and saw the auctioneer's assistant pushing the last auction item of the day onto the stage.

A strange man was lying on the rusty rectangular platform, wearing a light green sweatshirt. The refreshing color made his skin look even whiter and more rosy, looking very tender.

After the end of the world, the quality of life of human beings declined rapidly. It was good enough to be alive. There was no time to take care of things, so everyone lived a rougher life than the other.

Women will clean their skin occasionally, but some men haven't washed their faces for several years, and they all look like ragpickers.

But the man in front of him had fair and tender skin, as if it had been soaked in milk, with a faint pink in the white, like the peach Xiao He had seen in a book.

The whole person was clean and weak, looking powerless. It was impossible to tell how he survived the apocalypse.

This is an absolutely rare auction item.

As soon as he appeared, the audience was in an uproar. Several female psychics competed to raise their hands, and the price soared.

"Two intermediate zombie crystal cores."

"Three intermediate crystal cores!"

"Four!"

…

The auction of humans was not prohibited in the base, but Xiao He had never participated in it. Even if he encountered one, he would just leave in a hurry.

But now, the strange man lying on the stage gave her a very familiar feeling, as if she had seen him somewhere before, and it seemed as if she could catch hold of his scent in the next second.

With a thought, Xiao He raised his hand as if possessed.

"I want to participate in the auction, but I don't have a crystal core."

Auctioneer: "Bartering is prohibited at the auction house. Anyone offering items of equal value can participate in the auction."

Hearing this, Xiao He glanced into the space and saw the inventory he had hidden in the corner.

"Two boxes of ham, okay?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

It is now eighty years after the end of the world, and humans survive by eating a mixture of mutant beasts, fish and vegetables.

Although you won’t starve yourself, the taste is bland and hard to describe, so pre-apocalyptic food has become the most popular supply.

However, the production of those things had completely stopped as early as the zombie outbreak. Eighty years had passed, and most of them had rotted. The only way to preserve them until now was to store them in space.

The flow of time in the supernatural space is almost still, and food will never rot or mutate, regardless of its shelf life.

But unfortunately, space-related abilities are very rare, so food before the end of the world is now a rare commodity.

Xiao He took out two boxes of ham sausages in one breath, which immediately shocked the whole audience. The few people who were bidding just now fell silent instantly.

The auctioneer on the stage smiled brightly.

"Two boxes of sausages. If there are no other bidders, this man will belong to Xiao He!"

It was quiet all around.

The auctioneer immediately brought down his battered little hammer.

"make a deal!"

Soon, Xiao He followed the staff to the backstage.

The man was still unconscious, lying on a sofa. His long eyelashes left two rows of black shadows like small brushes under his eyelids. His skin was white with a rosy glow, and was particularly tender, and his facial features were just right.

At this time, the staff next to him reminded:

“After you pay, you can take the auction items away.”

Xiao He nodded slightly and looked into the space again.

I didn't feel it when I was bidding just now, but now I feel the pain.

Those two boxes of sausages were treasures she had collected for eight years. She usually couldn't bear to eat them, but she didn't expect that she would give them all away for a man.

Xiao He pursed his lips tightly, feeling that he had been too impulsive just now and felt a little regretful.

What’s the use of a man being handsome?

Ham sausage is better.

The staff member seemed to see through her thoughts and reminded her, "The transaction was already concluded at the auction just now. Going back on your word now would constitute a breach of contract."

Hearing this, Xiao He took out the sausage from the space with great distress and placed it carefully on the table.

"Two boxes, both are here."

After saying that, she walked straight over and grabbed the stranger's collar. As soon as she exerted force, the man was lifted up.

Xiao He was a little surprised.

This guy looks to be at least 1.80 meters tall, how could he be so light?

Just as she was about to leave, the staff brought out a large box from behind her.

"Ms. Xiao, please wait a moment, there's more."

"What is this?"

The staff member smiled and said, "Our boss really likes the item you're bidding on this time. It's a special gift from the auction house for you. We hope you enjoy it."

Xiao He didn't care much about it and put the box into the space. Suddenly, he remembered another thing.

"By the way, where did you find this person?"

"The base search and rescue team found him outside this morning. He was already unconscious and has not woken up since."

Xiao He pointed to the clean clothes on his body.

"Is this what it was like when you found out?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Xiao He frowned slightly.

That's unlikely.

This person in front of me has no special abilities and lives alone outside the base. How is it possible that he can keep his body spotless?

It feels like... I'm not from this world and just accidentally barged in.

Xiao He looked at the man in front of him, thought for a moment, and then lifted him up.

Go home and study it carefully first.

This is the center of the base. Xiao He spent a lot of money to buy a two-story building for living, which can also be used as the team's base of operations.

She went straight upstairs to the bedroom.

As soon as the man was put down, the mutant hamster Xiaoguai ran out of the space, opened its bloody mouth towards the man on the bed, and directly took most of his head into its mouth.

“You can’t eat it!”

Xiao He casually threw two pine cones over, hitting the hamster on the head. It spat out the man's head and ran away holding the pine cones.

After being pulled like that, most of the man's body slid off the bed. His skin was still pink and tender, but his hair was covered with a lot of Xiaoguai's saliva, making it look dirty.

Afraid that he would accidentally rub against his bed, Xiao He took out a handkerchief, dipped it in some clean water from the space, and bent down to help him wipe his face clean.

When he took a closer look, he could feel that the other person had fair and delicate skin, three-dimensional and deep facial features, a high nose bridge, and a clean and soft feeling. This was the most beautiful person Xiao He had seen in 28 years.

After all, it’s two boxes of sausages.

As Xiao He thought about it, he couldn't help but wipe his face more gently.

As he was wiping, the person on the bed slowly regained consciousness and opened his eyes.

His dark eyes were deep and gentle, like the sky at night.

Xiao He leaned in slightly closer to see more clearly, but the other party was not frightened at all, but seemed relieved instead.

"Where...is this place?"

The panicked sound was actually pleasant to the ear, crisp and pleasant.

Xiao He replied: "Blue Star Base."

After saying that, seeing that the other party still looked confused, he gave him a shot of prevention first.

"I bought you from the auction house with two boxes of sausages. You are my property now, do you understand?"

The other party opened his eyes wide, seemingly unable to understand the current situation.

Xiao He asked again: "What's your name?"

The man looked at Xiao He carefully, as if trying to understand something. He hesitated for a long time before answering:

"Jiang Ye."

"My name is Xiao He, and I'm the captain of the first search and rescue team. I'm your current owner."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly and looked around curiously.

While he was wondering, Xiao He was also looking at the person in front of him.

The captains of several other teams in the base, both men and women, had raised canaries to some extent, but this was her first time and she had no experience at all.

How to raise it?

Xiao He pondered, and took out towels and clean water from the space one after another. He also took out the men's clothing that he had picked up at the mall, and said, "Clean yourself up and change into nice clothes."

As for the two boxes of sausages, at least they should be dressed up a little more beautifully so that they are pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Ye watched her take something out of thin air, and he didn't seem surprised at all.

"Have you seen spatial abilities before?" Xiao He asked.

Jiang Ye nodded.

Although spatial abilities are precious, they are not rare. Almost every base has a few, and there may be some where he used to live.

Xiao He thought for a moment and said, "Take a shower first. After you're done, I'll take you out for a walk."

——

Xiao He grew up in the Blue Star Base. After his parents died young, he moved around the base, so he was very familiar with everything here.

She took Jiang Ye for a stroll and introduced the local environment to him.

Jiang Ye looked even fairer and more tender after taking a shower. Wearing the clothes Xiao He gave him, he looked just like a model in a shopping mall. He looked incredibly handsome. In the overall gray base, he was like a diamond that accidentally fell into a pile of coal.

No matter where she goes, she attracts a lot of attention.

Xiao He frowned slightly, planning to put a mask on Jiang Ye to cover his face the next time he went out.

As she thought about it, she turned her head and looked behind her.

Jiang Ye seemed to be accustomed to such sights. His eyes had long been attracted by everything around him. His face was full of shock and disbelief, and his eyes were dark.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao He became more determined:

This person must be hiding a secret.

After touring the base, the two returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao He warned: "Did you see the looks of those older women on the street? They look at you like you're a plate of meat. When I'm not around, try not to go out."

Jiang Ye looked at her with his dark eyes.

"What about you? You spent a lot of money to buy me, what do you want to do?"

Xiao He was stunned, patted his chest, and said in a righteous tone: "I am different from them, I am a good person."

To be honest, even she didn't know what she could do by buying this person on impulse.

She can’t carry anything on her shoulders or with her hands, and she has to get three meals a day from her space.

It's a losing deal no matter how you look at it.

Xiao He felt heartbroken.

Jiang Ye slowly relaxed and took a deep breath.

"Thank you, but I need some time to digest everything here."

Xiao He nodded generously.

"no problem."

After saying that, he left the room.

I walked out the door, sat down on the stairs at the door, and gave myself a thumbs up in my heart.

I'm so gentle and considerate, the little canary must be very touched, right?

There aren't many masters as generous as her.

As Xiao He was thinking, he suddenly saw Yan Huohuo, the captain of the Flame Squad, walking towards him.

Yan Huohuo is a fire-type mutant. He is 1.9 meters tall, with red hair tied into a ponytail, muscular body, rough facial features, and a heroic look, but he is actually one year younger than Xiao He.

Xiao He always treated her as his sister.

At this moment, she rushed over and asked anxiously, "Sister Xiao He, I heard that a very good-looking man came to the auction house and you bought him?"

Xiao He nodded.

"Two boxes of sausages."

Yan Huohuo suddenly took a breath of cold air.

"Are you crazy?"

Xiao He, as the captain of the search and rescue team, is also one of the big guys in the base, and the youngest one.

But she only has eyes for material things and has never been interested in men.

Someone once tried to seduce her, but was thrown out of the room by Xiao He.

"Every man is tall and strong, and can eat two bowls of rice in one meal. Sooner or later, they will eat up all my supplies. What's the use of him?"

Unexpectedly, this time, she actually took out two boxes of sausages in one breath!

"Even you are moved. Now I am even more curious about what that man looks like..."

Yan Huohuo muttered something, gritted his teeth, took out a transparent crystal core from his pocket, and said:

"I have a high-level zombie crystal core here, Sister Xiao He. I'll give it to you, and you give me half of that man. How about that?"

Xiao He was puzzled.

"I'll give you half? How do I divide it?"

Yan Huohuo thought about it carefully and said something shocking.

"From now on, you come on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I'll come on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. On Sundays...how about we go together?"

Squeak——

Just as she finished speaking, the door behind Xiao He opened and the little canary she had just bought stood at the door, looking at them in horror, her little face pale and trembling with fear.

Yan Huohuo:......

Xiao He: ...

"Listen to my excuses... No, listen to my explanation."
