Reborn in the Apocalypse with Space, Stockpiling Hundreds of Billions Without Panic

In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.

Chapter 207 Suspected Symbiosis

Chapter 207 Suspected Symbiosis

Qiao Yu took out a total of one hundred crystal cores, but Mu Yan's hands were too small to hold so many, so Qiao Yu took out another cloth bag, put all the crystal cores into the bag, and handed it to Mu Yan.

"Thank you, sister." Mu Yan's eyes were red and she bowed deeply to Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen.

Seeing this, Mu Yuan, who was standing by, followed suit and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Thank you, sister."

Luo Zhenzhen helped them both up, patted their heads, and said gently, "You're welcome."

Qiao Yu also nodded at them, "But you must remember, never take out the crystal core casually. Even if you buy food, you must eat it as soon as possible."

They were too young now, and a hundred crystal cores was already a large sum of money they could hide. If they were given more crystal cores and supplies, they might not be able to hold on.

Once discovered, these crystal cores may become their death warrant.

"Yeah. Don't worry, sister. We won't take it out casually." Mu Yan nodded, looking very serious.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen nodded with satisfaction and said nothing more.

After Mu Yan hid the crystal core on her body, several people walked out of the alley and came to Grandma Chen's shop.

Mu Yan was right, Grandma Chen’s shop really had everything.

Food, drinks, clothes and weapons...Except for not seeing any second-hand cars out there, the other types of supplies are quite rich.

When Qiao Yu and the other three followed Mu Yan and Mu Yuan over, Grandma Chen was not at the door.

Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

This "Grandma Chen" is really confident about the things placed at the door. She doesn't even take care of them in such an environment.

Could it be that...she has something extraordinary about her?

Mu Yan and Mu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong at all. They skillfully walked around the long table in front of the door and went straight into the house to call Grandma Chen.

Out of courtesy, Qiao Yu and the other three did not follow him in, but waited at the door.

"Grandma Chen, there are some pretty boys and girls outside who want to buy something from you!"

"It's a fairy! Sister Fairy!"

Mu Yan and Mu Yuan thought their voices were very small, but the four people outside the door could hear them clearly.

"Oh...it's Yanyan and Yuanyuan." Another slightly older female voice came, the tone very kind, "Is anyone looking to buy something?"

Qiao Yu was quietly listening to the conversation in the room, but she noticed that Jiang Zhan's brows suddenly frowned, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Zhan, what's wrong?"

Jiang Zhan quickly set up a mental barrier around the four people. "Grandma Chen is a plant mutant. And she is very likely the person we are looking for."

Qiao Yu, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen were all stunned when they heard this.

"Brother Zhan, do you suspect that Grandma Chen is Lao Hei?" Cheng Sinian frowned, his tone full of hesitation.

Although he did not find out the gender and other identity information of "Old Black", isn't it too early to make a decision based solely on the fact that he is a plant mutant?

This is just the first black market. What if there are plant variants in other black markets?

"I can't be sure yet." Jiang Zhan pursed his lips, "But her energy is stronger than everyone else here. Moreover, she was just reading the memories of Mu Yan and Mu Yuan."

"What? Reading memories?" Cheng Sinian was shocked. "She's a psychic?"

"No." Jiang Zhan frowned and shook his head, "Judging from her ability fluctuations, she is definitely not a psychic type."

"Then...then why can she read other people's memories? Even Brother Zhan can't do such a thing now!"

Cheng Sinian's face was filled with horror.

He remembered Qiao Yu saying that Jiang Zhan's ability was to read other people's memories, but it still needed further advancement.

But this "Grandma Chen" can now read memories. Is she stronger than Brother Zhan?

Qiao Yu had been silent from the beginning, his mind rapidly searching for memories of his past life.

Plants... read memories...

"No, it's not psychic! It's symbiotic!"

"Symbiosis?" Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen both looked puzzled.

"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded seriously. "It means using some means to parasitize someone else, and then share the body and memories with the parasite."

She had seen mutants with this kind of superpower in her previous life.

When her abilities become stronger, she will even be able to completely control the host.

Both physically and mentally.

Cheng Sinian's face darkened slightly. "If that's the case, then this Granny Chen is very likely the Old Blackie we're looking for."

Lao Hei knows many secrets that others don't. The way he obtains this information is inherently suspicious.

But if it is obtained through symbiosis, then everything seems to be explained.

No wonder……

No wonder she could leave everything outside so confidently without even looking at it.

But Cheng Sinian now thought of another serious problem...

If Mu Yan and Mu Yuan have both been parasitized by Grandma Chen, then would the entire Nan City be under the control of Grandma Chen?

No. Maybe... it's not just Nanshi.

"Yeah." Mu Yan's voice continued inside the house: "There were two fairy sisters and two very handsome brothers. They bought everything on our stall and said they wanted to buy something else, so Yuanyuan and I brought them here."

"Also, butter bread!" Mu Yuan added softly.

"Yes. Grandma Chen, we also want to buy a butter bread." There was a hint of anticipation in Mu Yan's voice.

"Okay." The sound of Granny Chen getting up and walking came from inside the house. "Here. Bread and butter."

"Why two?" Mu Yan's voice was a little anxious. "Grandma Chen, my sister and I can just eat one!"

Although the fairy sister just gave them a lot of crystal cores, they still had to save them to buy other things and couldn't spend so much at once!

"It's okay." Grandma Chen smiled. "Yanyan, just give me six crystal cores. Since you brought guests to me, the other butter bread is my thank you gift."

"But……"

Mu Yan wanted to say something, but Grandma Chen interrupted her.

"Okay, Yanyan and Yuanyuan, you don't have to be polite to grandma. If you really feel bad, then do grandma another favor."

"Okay. Grandma, you say." Mu Yan nodded hurriedly.

"Go and help Grandma invite your guests in." Grandma Chen smiled and said softly, "Grandma is going to greet the 'Fairy Sister' you are talking about."

"Go quickly. Don't keep the guests waiting."

"Okay, Grandma!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yan immediately pulled up Mu Yuan, who was holding the buttered bread, and trotted out of the house.
