Lin Qingqing's face was filled with anxiety. Without thinking, she reached out to pull Liu Qiang. "Let's go, let's get out of the city first. I know where there are mutant zombies. The chance of them successfully advancing by eating crystal cores is at least 10%."
Liu Qiang didn't know where Lin Qingqing got the data. He moved sideways to avoid Lin Qingqing's pull. He was afraid that if he really got infected, he would pass it on to her. "Mutated zombies are not cabbages. Without my gun, I'm half useless. And with your weak arms and legs, you can fight a few ordinary zombies, but as for mutant zombies, you are no match for them!"
As he said that, Liu Qiang stepped back and said, "Alright, leave me alone. I'll leave the base by myself. I don't believe I won't win a prize once in my life."
"Then, you should take antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs first, at least to hold on a little longer." Lin Qingqing did not chase after him. Instead, she stopped and rummaged through the backpack behind her. Then, she seemed to find that there was no medicine in the backpack, and her expression was a little depressed.
"It's okay without medicine. I can hold on." Liu Qiang advised.
"Medicine, let me think about it. Oh, there's a black market near the exchange. We're going to pass by there anyway. Let's go buy two pills. You must listen to me on this."
Lin Qingqing said this and waved for a taxi.
The vehicle is a pedal rickshaw, which was eliminated decades ago, but someone has made it again in recent days.
Business is pretty good.
Car owners cannot afford transaction points machines, and fares vary widely.
Liu Qiang was pulled into the car by Lin Qingqing without any explanation. There was a driver in the car, so he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. He just turned his body sideways and tried not to touch Lin Qingqing, for fear that he would infect her.
Lin Qingqing paid a 25-gram bag of milk powder as the fare, and the driver gave her two green onions as change.
Then, Lin Qingqing stared at the scallion in a daze. Boiling scallion whites in water can cure colds. This is a folk remedy recorded in Dr. Cai's half-filled notebook. Medicines will only become increasingly scarce, and we need to utilize all available resources.
The rickshaw driver was a local who drove through small alleys and soon arrived at the entrance of the black market.
Lin Qingqing turned up the hat behind her clothes to cover her head and put on a mask. Seeing this, Liu Qiang also put on a mask.
After the two of them went in, Lin Qingqing went to find Lao Tan first. When she saw Lao Tan, without waiting for Lao Tan to say hello, she said, "I just met an aunt who looked very similar to you at the police station. She was wearing a black down jacket, had white hair, and looked very healthy. I thought she was your mother."
Old Tan's expression changed, and he stood up quickly. "Is she still there?"
"It's really your mother! She should still be nearby when I left." Lin Qingqing almost gave a thumbs up to her acting skills.
After being reborn, she kept telling lies. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why she knew Tan's mother, whom she should have never met.
"My mother has Alzheimer's disease. Thank you. I have to go find her right away." Old Tan didn't bother to say more and left the stall alone. He got up and ran out.
"Take a few more people with you to look for it! It happened an hour ago." Lin Qingqing shouted behind him.
Old Tan didn't look back, but waved from a distance.
"Brother Liu, wait here for me, I'll be back soon." After Lin Qingqing finished solving the matter, she explained to Liu Qiang and began to search for Big Ears.
Soon, the pair of big earlobes appeared in her sight.
This guy had indeed changed his profile picture again, shamelessly pretending to be an old lady setting up a street stall. Lin Qingqing walked towards him while trying to guess what the two bulges on his chest were.
Big Ears should have seen Lin Qingqing a long time ago, but he pretended not to know her and was very alert.
"I want a box of M9 bullets, and I want to buy on credit." Lin Qingqing approached him and picked up the Minions on the stall and squeezed them twice. His stall was full of toys and had no business at all. Since he was idle, he had time to observe others.
The corner of Big Ears' mouth twitched. He thought his makeup today was perfect, and he was afraid of having stubble, so he even wore a mask!
Having experienced being robbed by a scammer, Big Ears didn't dare to trade directly with others. The last time, he was attracted by the medicine Lin Qingqing brought out. He had no shortage of other supplies, but he lacked various medicines.
On weekdays, he would first identify the target person who was suitable for the transaction, and then let Lao Tan come forward to trade.
"...No credit," Big Ears replied in a low voice. This time, he didn't try to quibble.
Lin Qingqing was not surprised by his answer. This was definitely not an easy task.
"I need to rent a room upstairs. This is the deposit." Lin Qingqing handed him two green onions.
Big Ears stared at Lin Qingqing with a cracked expression, and the thick powder on his face fell down.
"Who are you?" He was the owner of this building, but only a handful of people knew about it. Although the house was registered in his name, it was actually occupied by his father.
Lin Qingqing thought for a moment and said sincerely, "I won't deliberately harm you. Anyway, if you give me bullets on credit, I won't rent a house. Otherwise, rent my house. If this place doesn't work, No. 62, Front Street End will also work."
The situation was urgent and Lin Qingqing had no idea what to do. She had to cheat anyway.
If history hadn't changed, Big Ears lived at No. 62, the end of Front Street. The alley behind that house was the dilapidated house she once lived in.
If she had bullets, she could use the gun she took from Liu Qiang on the way. Since both of them had guns, there would be a great chance of killing the fat white man in the north of the city.
If I have no bullets, I can only rent a house, knock Liu Qiang unconscious, tie him up, and try to save him. If that doesn't work, I can only give Liu Qiang a ride.
"You are threatening me! That's why you sent Old Tan away before." Big Ears' eyes turned cold and his voice was no longer feminine.
"You can think so. I don't have time to explain now. My brother might be infected and needs to fight. If I come back alive, I will definitely not refuse to pay."
Lin Qingqing looked at him calmly, and seeing her clear and firm eyes, Big Ears became a little hesitant.
His private collection could not be seen in public before and after the end of the world, so it was well hidden and the stock was large. If this woman had no ill intentions, she would just lend it to him.
"Ji Yu, if I had any other way, I would definitely not make things difficult for you. So, I will leave my most important weapon with you. If I come back alive, I will redeem it." Lin Qingqing took out the axe while Big Ear was stunned.
Big Ears is actually a boy under 20 years old, but he is growing a little too fast.
He was one of the only few friends Lin Qingqing had in Liancheng in her previous life. A few days after the apocalypse, Big Ears' parents unfortunately died, and the nanny and her people almost snatched away all the food in the house.
If it weren't for Old Tan's mother passing by and saving him and his brother, they might have been killed.
Big Ears finally lent Lin Qingqing more than one box of bullets, but he also kept the axe.
This axe feels like it was tailor-made for Lao Tan. It's simply perfect. Moreover, the base allows civilians to use cold weapons, so they can use them freely.
Lin Qingqing got the bullet, and her face was relieved. She quickly called Liu Qiang to go out.
As Lin Qingqing walked, she whispered, "I got the bullets for your old gun. Let's go fight the mutant zombies now."
