Chapter 205 Entering South City

Cheng Sinian was thinking when Old Han took out four small steel cards from his pocket and handed them to Cheng Sinian.

"Brother Han, what is this?" Cheng Sinian took the card and looked at it over and over again, and found that there was no words on it, only an owl engraved on it.

"This is our internal document." Old Han still had that smiling face, as if he had no other emotions except smiling.

"Take the steel sheet and go to the slave market to find Cao Yaba. He will serve you."

When Old Han said this, he suddenly remembered that this was their first time here and they probably didn't know how to find Cao Yaba, so he added, "Cao Yaba lives in a tin house at the westernmost end of Nu City. It has a red roof and is quite conspicuous. You can find it easily."

Cao the Mute?

Cheng Sinian saw Mingzi looking at the steel plate in his hand, and his eyes seemed to light up. He couldn't help but feel a little wary. "Brother Han, why... ordinary people can't get in?"

"It's not that you can't get in," Mingzi continued, "but you can get a discount with this business card. If you really want to buy high-end products, you can get discounts on subsequent medicines!"

"Old Han is a good man. He gave it to you because you are destined to be together!"

As Mingzi spoke, she reached out and patted Cheng Sinian on the shoulder with an expression that said, "Just be happy in secret."

Seeing this, Cheng Sinian stopped refusing and said, "Thank you, Brother Han and Brother Ming!"

Cheng Sinian put the steel piece into his pocket, then looked up and said goodbye to the two men with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go check out the goods first. When we come back, I'll have a good chat with you two brothers!"

"Okay!" Mingzi grinned and nodded. "Then we won't send you off. But remember, when you go to see Cao Yaba, each of you must hold one of the four steel pieces."

"Okay. We'll remember that."

Cheng Sinian smiled and waved goodbye to the two of them, but when he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

After they walked a little further away, Qiao Yu whispered, "Is the steel plate drugged?"

Cheng Sinian frowned since he took the steel piece and immediately put it in his pocket, as if he was afraid that they would touch it.

It was hard not to make her suspicious.

But Cheng Sinian shook his head, "It's not drugging. There's nothing wrong with the steel plate, but Mingzi's expression is very problematic."

When Mingzi saw the steel sheet, her lips straightened, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly in an imperceptible arc.

This is a typical secret joy.

Moreover, the admiration for Lao Han in his eyes was also very obvious.

But why should we praise Lao Han? What should we praise him for?

Appreciate him for helping these random acquaintances get discounts?

How is that possible?

Jiang Zhan also spoke up when he heard this: "If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."

Qiao Yu nodded.

From the moment they entered the door, the changes in the expressions of the people in the house made her feel very uncomfortable.

"But..." Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow, "I really want to know what the steel card is used for."

"So what?" Cheng Sinian also raised an eyebrow, looking eager to try. "Let's go give it a try?"

Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled cunningly, "I think it's okay."

If you want to go to the North Black Market, you must first pass through the South Black Market.

Following the instructions on the sign, the four of them quickly entered the South Black Market.

Although Mingzi said that the South Black Market sells weapons and used cars, after Qiao Yu and the other three entered, they found that there was actually everything here, but the proportion of other goods was smaller.

"Do they all live in the store?" Luo Zhenzhen asked doubtfully, looking at the neat rows of tin houses on the side of the road.

Most of those iron houses have a long table at the door, on which are placed various weapons and other goods.

Looking inside through the door, you can basically see furniture such as beds, sofas, and daily tables and chairs.

"It should be." Qiao Yu nodded.

Looking at it this way, it feels like this place is no different from the base, except that the market area and residential area are completely merged together.

The four of them walked around Nanshi for a while, and their outstanding appearance attracted a lot of attention.

Many people were whispering behind their backs.

Suddenly, Luo Zhenzhen paused, and her attention seemed to be attracted by something.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Sinian followed her gaze and saw two little girls.

The two girls were one tall and one short, both dressed in rags. The younger one looked only five or six years old, and the older one was probably no more than ten.

They huddled under a narrow tin shed between two tin houses. On the rags in front of them lay two steel knives and a handful of seeds of unknown plants.

"Sister, if we sell all these things today, can we exchange them for a piece of bread and butter from Granny Chen?"

The younger girl leaned in the older girl's arms and asked with a look of longing on her face.

"Yes." The older girl's voice was childish but gentle. She used her dirty little hands to carefully take out a handful of crystal cores from under the torn mat under her buttocks and counted them.

"I made an agreement with Granny Chen yesterday: six crystal cores for a piece of bread and butter. If we can sell all of these today, minus the crystal cores used to buy water, we'll be able to buy just enough for a piece of bread and butter."

Cheng Sinian looked at Luo Zhenzhen who was slightly dazed, and realized that she must be thinking of her sister.

"Do you want to go and take a look?" Cheng Sinian touched Luo Zhenzhen's hair and asked softly.

Luo Zhenzhen came back to her senses and looked at Cheng Sinian in surprise, "Is it okay?"

"Of course." Cheng Sinian's eyes softened. "I'll go with you."

Luo Zhenzhen was a little tempted, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "No... forget it..."

Although she is living a good life now, she is not so conceited as to think she can do anything.

Everything she has now was given to her by Sister Qiao and Cheng Sinian. She couldn't cause them trouble just because of her momentary impulsiveness and willfulness.

Qiao Yu, who was standing by, heard the conversation and saw Luo Zhenzhen's well-behaved face. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and whispered, "I don't know what kind of seeds they are selling. Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can use them."

Luo Zhenzhen felt a warm feeling in her heart when she heard this, and her eyes turned slightly red. "Sister Qiao..."

Seeing Luo Zhenzhen looking so touched, like a little kitten, Qiao Yu couldn't help but reach out and wanted to touch her head, but was stopped by Jiang Zhan again.

Qiao Yu withdrew his hand guiltily, but still smiled at Luo Zhenzhen and said softly, "Okay. Just take a look, let's go."

In fact, she had noticed the sisters a long time ago.

Although they couldn't do much, at least... they could afford to give him a piece of bread and butter.
