Chapter 200 Outside the Base

Ding Baian and the others didn't know at this time that Jiang Zhan had already heard all their internal conversations.

Jiang Zhan's eyes darkened slightly. Although things had developed as he expected, he was still a little unhappy to hear Ding Baian's firm belief in Qiao Yu.

But he couldn't cause trouble for Ding Baian.

So Jiang Zhan narrowed his eyes and applied even more force to Xu Xin.

"explain."

Jiang Zhan's voice was low and cold. To Xu Xin now, it sounded like the voice of a devil crawling out of hell to take his life.

Xu Xin wanted to say something, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak at all.

Jiang Zhan's attack was fast and fierce, leaving him almost no chance to breathe. He inflicted more than thirty wounds before stopping.

The moment Jiang Zhan withdrew his mental power, Xu Xin suddenly relaxed all over and collapsed to the floor.

Qiao Yu was completely immune to the tragic scene before him. He even had the leisure to take out a few bags of snacks from his space and share them with Luo Zhenzhen and Cheng Sinian.

Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen took the bag of snacks but didn't eat a single bite.

Seeing Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan taking turns sharing a bag of Langweixian, a mask of pain immediately appeared on Cheng Sinian's face.

One must be a pervert to enjoy eating Langweixian in such a bloody room!

It’s a good thing they can eat it.

Qiao Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing. While crunching his snacks, he casually asked Xu Xin, "Do you want to talk now?"

"If you don't want to talk about it, let's just continue. We have plenty of time to waste with you anyway."

"Don't..." Xu Xin's voice was hoarse, but he still tried to open his mouth, fearing that Qiao Yu and the others could not hear him and would start torturing him again.

"I...tell you..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu put the snack bag aside, patted the snack residue on his hands, and propped up his chin with his hand and said, "Then tell me, what do you know about Xia Chao and Xia Mu?"

Xu Xin gasped with his mouth open. "I heard... they are the original members of the Crimson Squad... they followed the previous captain... veterans, veteran-level members..."

"Former captain?" Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow. "So, Qi Yong is the successor?"

"Yes...their previous captain died during a mission..."

"Qi Yong was... the last person their captain saved... so... that's why he succeeded as captain..."

"Then do you know what the relationship between Xia Chao and Xia Mu and Qi Yong is like?"

"I... don't know..." Xu Xin shook his head imperceptibly. "I only know... that the team members rarely talk to each other..."

Qiao Yu pursed her lips when she heard this, "Then do you know why they left the base?"

"I heard it was... to escape..."

"Escape?"

"Yes... because Qi Yong and Kong... Wenjun are both dead... Meng Chao is also missing..."

"So what you're saying is that Xia Chao and Xia Mu had nothing to do with the deaths of Qi Yong and Kong Wenjun, and were actually trying to avoid the murderer?"

"Yes... I heard from Lao Hei... that's how it is..."

Xu Xin may have used up some of the energy he had just accumulated, and his voice became lower and lower.

But Qiao Yu still grasped the key point, "Old Black?"

"right……"

"Which team?"

"He's not... from the base... he's from the black market..."

"Black market?" Cheng Sinian touched his chin.

From what Xu Xin said, the black market is outside the base?

"What? Have you heard of it?" Qiao Yu blinked, looking confused.

In his previous life, Qiao Yu didn't know much about the situation in the G City base, let alone outside the base.

But even she had never heard of it, so how did Cheng Sinian know about it?

"I've heard of it," Cheng Sinian said without hesitation. "Last time when I went to turn in a mission, I heard two of my buddies mention it. They say everything is sold on the black market, and the prices are pretty fair."

"But it is said that people who go there have to have conditions. I was always worried about how to find out where this place is, but I didn't expect that after searching high and low, I found it without any effort!"

Cheng Sinian raised the corner of his mouth, walked to Xu Xin and squatted down, "Hey hey" and said with a smile: "Brother, tell me, where is that place? If you don't tell me, I will chop off your hands and feet~"

“…”

Sometimes Qiao Yu couldn't help but admire Cheng Sinian. As a member of the most sacred profession in China since ancient times - medicine, how could he develop such a vulgar temperament?

It's really disgusting.

However, although the temperament is vulgar, the threat does work.

Xu Xin's originally dull eyes suddenly trembled, and a trace of panic flashed across his face, "I say... I say..."

"It's in the forest northwest of the base..."

"Northwest?" Cheng Sinian frowned. "Isn't that the territory of the dependents?"

Qiao Yu was stunned again, "Dependant?"

How come there's a new term here?

"Yes." Cheng Sinian nodded and stood up with his legs propped up. "They are the survivors who don't have enough supplies and can't enter the base."

"Because they couldn't enter the base, but didn't want to leave the base's good protection, they spontaneously gathered outside the base."

"Because they are survivors who depend on the base for survival, they are called 'dependents'."

After hearing Cheng Sinian's explanation, Qiao Yu's first reaction was to glance at him suspiciously. "Did you hear this from someone else when you were handing in the mission?"

"No." Cheng Sinian lifted his hair proudly. "I heard it when I was strolling around the market with Zhenzhen!"

"Um?"

Luo Zhenzhen was originally sitting obediently in the chair. She felt a little familiar with the smell of blood in the room, so she thought about eating some snacks that Qiao Yu had just given her.

Just as she was about to tear open the package, she heard Cheng Sinian calling her name.

Luo Zhenzhen blinked, looking silly and cute.

"..." Cheng Sinian smiled gently, "It's okay, eat it if you want."

"Yeah." Luo Zhenzhen nodded obediently, then lowered her head, tore open the snack package, and began to eat it very delicately.

“…”

Qiao Yu got goosebumps all over his body when he saw Cheng Sinian looking at Luo Zhenzhen with a silly smile on his face.

Tsk tsk.

It's so disgusting, so unbearable.

Qiao Yu decided to ignore the stinky couple covered in pink bubbles and turned his gaze to Xu Xin lying on the ground. "So, the black market was created by the dependents?"

"I don't... I don't know..." Xu Xin had lost too much blood, and his vision was already a little blurry, but his subconscious fear still made him insist on answering Qiao Yu's question: "The black market has... existed for a long time..."

Seeing Qiao Yu's thoughtful look, Jiang Zhan couldn't help but come over and touch Qiao Yu's long hair, "Ayu, do you want to go?"

Qiao Yu smiled and nuzzled Jiang Zhan's nose coquettishly, "A little bit."

Jiang Zhan smiled even more gently, "Then let's go."
