Other things are fine, but Song Kaiji wants to collect more gasoline. Although he has already bought enough for the journey at Hongcheng Base before departure, it is not a bad thing to stock up on such consumables. And... before departure, he did not know Shen Qing's secret.
If I were lucky enough to live with Shen Qing in another world in the future, I would naturally have to prepare a lot of things unique to modern times, such as shampoo, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste... I would have to save enough for a lifetime or even several lifetimes.
However, although Zhuang Ye spoke enthusiastically, when Song Kaiji went to exchange with him, he actually brought out very little. Instead, he was trying to find out about them: "Are you planning to go to Hongcheng Base? Where are you from? These guys dared to go on the road. There should be a lot of superpowers in your team, right?"
Song Kaiji didn't answer. He searched through the things Zhuang Ye brought out. There was really nothing good. He only picked out two bags of snacks and two barrels of gasoline, which were very expensive. Even Li Li, who was standing next to him, was a little dissatisfied: "Brother Zhuang, don't lie to my cousin. The price of gasoline you sold to us last time was not this price. You also brought out a lot of things for us to choose from. Why is the price so high this time? My brother is rich. If you have any good things, just bring them out."
What could it be? Zhuang Ye was a spy sent here by the factory at the foot of the mountain. Whenever he encountered a fat sheep, he would report to the factory. Although he exchanged materials with people every time his convoy passed by, in fact, these things were all recycled from the same batch - he would exchange them and kill the people at night to take them back. Anyway, it would return to his hands, so it didn't matter if he offered a lower price.
But this time it was different, the person in front of him was a space power user. After a space power user was killed, the materials in the space would not explode, but would disappear completely. In this case, Zhuang Ye was naturally reluctant to give it to Song Kaiji.
Seeing that Song Kaiji was unwilling to speak, Zhuang Ye turned to Li Li and smiled at her: "These are in short supply, and the price changes every day. The last time you came was more than a month ago. At that time, I had a lot of things. It has been so long now. How many caravans have come and gone? I have given them all to others. As things become less and less, the price will naturally go up. Scarcity makes things more valuable." He glanced at the vines on Li Li's wrist again and said half-jokingly: "Do you want me to help you untie them? You haven't told me yet. Didn't you leave? Why are you back again, and you are still tied up. Is this guy really your brother? If bad guys bully you, just tell me and I will take care of it for you."
Li Li was stunned: "Can you help me untie it?"
"We are all wood-type superpowers, why does this vine only listen to others and not me?" Zhuang Ye flicked his fingers, and the vine on Li Li's wrist really moved. Qu Weiwei on the other side immediately felt it and used her superpowers to make the vine tighten. But even though she was the one who gave birth to this vine, she had an innate advantage, but she was still somewhat no match for Zhuang Ye. In the end, under the game of the two forces, the vine finally couldn't bear the weight and broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
After this fight, Qu Weiwei felt that the opponent's supernatural powers were superior to hers.
Li Li looked at her empty wrist, then at Song Kaiji's gloomy face, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhuang, you misunderstood, we are really a family, and this is my cousin. We came back to look for people, my parents and my second uncle and second aunt. There were some misunderstandings in the middle, so my brother tied me up." She was afraid that Song Kaiji would blame her for this and think that she was going to run away.
She had a lot of calculations in her mind. Even if Zhuang Ye could help her deal with Song Kaiji, could he still support her for the rest of her life? Even if he could, she would have to pay a price. Now was the end of the world, and the moral system had long since collapsed. If this man coveted her beauty and played with her for a while and then abandoned her, she would have no place to cry!
It would be better for her to follow Song Kaiji and find her second uncle and aunt. Even if Song Kaiji no longer likes her, as long as she cries to her second uncle and apologizes sincerely, given her second uncle's temper, he will definitely not ignore her.
I'm supported by my second uncle, but I don't have to pay any price.
What if my second uncle has died...it's not impossible to come back and look for this Zhuang Ye later.
Li Li made up her mind and walked up to Qu Weiwei: "How about Sister Weiwei tie you up for me again?"
Qu Weiwei's face looked very unhappy: "I tied you up, and he turned around and untied you. What, am I also a part of your play?"
"Don't be angry, little beauty." Zhuang Ye smiled at Qu Weiwei, pretending to care for every beauty equally: "Didn't I know that you are the wood-type mutant? I thought it was the two handsome guys next to you. If I knew it was you, I would definitely not go against you."
Li Li's face twisted slightly. Sure enough, all men in the end times are like this... She was right. Following Song Kaiji was the best choice. However, Zhuang Ye turned to her and said, "Looking for your parents and your second uncle and second aunt? Are they four people in their fifties or sixties, two men and two women, one of whom has a loud voice and wears a brown leather jacket?"
Li Li's eyes lit up immediately, and even Song Kaiji looked over: "Yes! That's my dad! My mom was wearing a bright red down jacket that day! Have you seen them? Do you know where they are?"
Where are they? In our stomachs. Zhuang Ye's smile became gentler. "I have indeed seen them. They have been staying in the service area for quite some time. We wanted to find a car to take them to Hongcheng Base, but no one was willing to take them. They just left yesterday. They said that they had almost used up all the supplies, so they teamed up with others to try their luck in the city to find supplies. You might as well stay here for two days. They should be back in two or three days. Or you can stay here for one night, and I will take you to find them tomorrow."
How could Li Li decide? She looked at Song Kaiji eagerly.
All the way from Hongcheng to Zizhou, although Song Kaiji had been holding on to the hope that his parents were fine, at this moment he finally got the definite news that his parents were still alive, and he was very happy and excited: "We need to discuss it. If I need you to lead the way, I'll come find you!"
"Okay, okay," Zhuang Ye smiled, "But I'm not doing this for free."
"The reward is easy to negotiate." Song Kaiji nodded, and he didn't want to choose anything else. He exchanged the two small barrels of gasoline and a few bags of snacks and left. Behind him, Zhuang Ye looked at the rice and flour he took out, and felt even more regretful: I don't know how many good things this space ability user has in his space, and they will disappear completely with his death. What a pity.
He recalled that the other two old ones seemed to be still on the mountain. I wonder if they were eaten? If not, if he was caught and threatened with his parents, he should spit out some of the food, right?
He looked at the broken vines on the ground again and felt very regretful: "It was so beautiful, I thought I could enjoy it, what a pity it is gone."
Shen Qing and his group found an empty corner to sit down and eat. Song Kaiji handed the two bags of snacks to Shen Qing first: "You have never eaten this? I see you like salted duck egg yolks, this also tastes like salted egg yolks, it's delicious."
Ever since he knew Shen Qing was an ancient person, whenever Song Kaiji saw something rare, he always thought that Shen Qing might not have seen it or eaten it. Thinking of how Shen Qing was so happy to eat a starch sausage before, Song Kaiji felt distressed and wanted to bring all the good things to Shen Qing.
"You've been squatting there for this?" Qu Weiwei was in a very bad mood. It was the first time she encountered a wood-type mutant who fought with her for control of the vines, and it was also the first time she knew that it was possible to do this. After all, even if she had encountered a wood-type mutant before, they were all fighting zombies together. Who would have nothing better to do than to seize control of their teammates?
Tang Wenjie stirred the rice in the lunch box and whispered, "Don't you think he is testing your ability?"
"What?" Qu Weiwei was stunned. But Sun Cheng and Ge Bingbing on the side agreed with Tang Wenjie's statement.
In their team, apart from the hired Sun Cheng and Ge Bingbing, Tang Wenjie had experienced the most dangers in the apocalypse, fighting his way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. On the way to Hongcheng Base with Tang's mother, he encountered many situations that were more dangerous than the zombie tide. His sensitivity to danger was incomparable to Qu Weiwei, Song Kaiji and others. "I think there is a big problem with Zhuang Ye. He gives me a bad impression."
Although Sun Cheng and Ge Bingbing did not have as much experience as Tang Wenjie, they often followed other teams on missions and naturally had some experience. At this time, Tang Wenjie also agreed: "I think his eyes are very lustful, and he keeps wandering around women." Ge Bingbing whispered.
"He asked the third brother at the beginning, how dare we go on the journey with only a few of us, there must be a lot of psychics in the team. After that, he probably only knew that there was a wood psychic in our team, but he didn't know who it was or what level it was. If we fight like this, won't you be exposed?"
Qu Weiwei was dumbfounded: "Then...then I shouldn't fight him?"
Tang Wenjie shook his head: "It's not a question of whether or not we should fight. It's why he wants to find out our strength? Also, he said that uncle and aunt just left yesterday. Is it such a coincidence?"
Although he accurately described the clothes and appearance of Li Li's father, this only means that he had met Li Li's father before. Even if he had the opportunity to meet Li Li's father when he first met Li Li, what if he remembered his clothes at that time? How can he conclude that he met him after the car overturned?
He said he would lead them to a place, where would he take them? Tang Wenjie had seen many such tricks on his way to Hongcheng Base, both to himself and to others. He didn't know how lucky he was to be able to see the third brother alive.
Li Li was terrified when she heard this, but because of her previous experience, she still had a good impression of Zhuang Ye. At most, she thought that this man was a little bit lustful and a little bit fickle, and she was not willing to believe that Zhuang Ye was a bad person: "You think too much, maybe he is just curious... Aren't you curious about how much higher his ability is than Sister Weiwei? He is a local snake in this place, so what's so strange about being enthusiastic and asking about the news of passers-by?"
No one else said anything, but Qu Weiwei was a little curious. Li Li's words were not completely unreasonable, but in the end times, they seemed too naive. It's better to be cautious, Chen Jiaqian smiled and said, "Are you curious? You will know if you try it?"
She took the bag of potato chips from Shen Qing, tore open the seal, and turned to find Zhuang Ye.
Seeing Chen Jiaqian, Zhuang Ye's eyes lit up. Although this woman is not younger than Qu Weiwei and Li Li, she is well-maintained and has an elite style. It can be seen that she was quite rich before the end of the world. Zhuang Ye was just a small gangster before the end of the world. He could not even take out 20 yuan from his pocket every day on the streets. If it weren't for the end of the world, he would not be able to touch a rich person like Chen Jiaqian.
Such a woman also filled him with the desire to conquer. Although she was a little older, mature women also had a different flavor.
"Our boss thinks this flavor is delicious. Do you have any more? If you do, give me some more." Chen Jiaqian took out a bag full of crystal cores, which she dug herself along the way.
"Let me see, there are potato chips, I need to look for them if there are any with this flavor." Zhuang Ye said. He had his own room in the service area, which contained a lot of supplies. While he turned around to look for them, Chen Jiaqian began to use her special abilities.
You know what, he really took out a bag, and also took a few bags of potato chips of other flavors: "Do you want these flavors? Do you want to exchange for more?" He looked up and saw Chen Jiaqian's face was pale and shaky, and was a little surprised: "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Weren't you fine just now?"
Chen Jiaqian forced a smile and suppressed the nausea in her stomach: "I've been hungry for too long, I have low blood sugar, and I have a little stomachache, but it's okay."
"I have some stomach medicine here, do you want some?" Seeing Chen Jiaqian refuse, Zhuang Ye counted the money for the potato chips with her and said with a smile: "It seems that the treatment of your team is not very good. Your boss is the same. He likes to eat potato chips. After eating, he can come to me to buy more. I made you make a special trip. Is he deliberately torturing you?"
Chen Jiaqian smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary person. They don't mind me being a burden and are willing to take me with them. This is a favor. It's nothing for them to walk a few more steps." She increased the speed of counting the crystal cores and she couldn't wait to leave immediately. She didn't want to stay in the same space with this person for even a second longer.
However, Zhuang Ye was just the opposite. He fiddled with the crystal core leisurely and said, "You are the only ordinary person in your team? Then all these chores must be placed on you. It must be tiring, right?"
"No, there is only one space user and one wood user in our team. The others are ordinary people." She forced herself to calm down and responded, "But they are young and brave. They can kill zombies with knives and sticks. I am timid and dare not do it, but they don't despise me. It is reasonable for me to do more odd jobs. Okay, I won't say any more to you. They are waiting for me over there."
After she finished speaking, she left quickly. After she went downstairs and turned two corners, she leaned against the wall and vomited a few times, vomiting out all the food she had just eaten.
"What happened to you? Are you okay?" Qu Weiwei saw it from a distance and quickly ran over to support her. Others also gathered around. Chen Jiaqian looked like she had received bad news. Tang Wenjie seemed to have guessed it and his face was extremely ugly.
"What did you see?"
Chen Jiaqian closed her eyes and said, "They...eat people."
