As expected, Xiao Longzhan's gaze was drawn to the shouts and he ran to a stall displaying various gold jewelry.
They ignored the stalls displaying toys, swords, and other weapons.
Shen Nanxing raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Xiao Longzhan would like these gold and silver jewelry.
I want all four!
Xiao Longzhan had already selected four exquisitely crafted and substantial gold bracelets from the stall.
"And this necklace!"
Xiao Longzhan picked up another necklace made of jade and turquoise, and turned to look at Jiang Nian'an, who was talking to Shen Nanxing.
This necklace is perfect for my sister!
"It's you!"
A cheerful male voice suddenly came from behind them.
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing turned around at the same time to look back.
They saw two thin men standing about five meters behind them.
One of them was looking at Jiang Nian'an with a surprised expression.
A petite and adorable girl was standing next to the two of them, carrying a bulging little bag.
"It's you guys..."
Jiang Nian'an recognized the two of them.
They were the two people she saved in the mall at the very beginning of the apocalypse.
She remembered that their names seemed to be Fang Yi and Zhao Jiwei.
Zhao Jiwei wanted to team up with her, but she rejected him because she didn't like it.
Fang Yi smiled and took two steps forward. "What a coincidence! We actually met here!"
Zhao Jiwei also took two steps forward without saying a word, his eyes darting over Xiao Longzhan's schoolbag as he made up his mind.
He went straight to Xiaolongzhan.
“Little brother, we have the same things as what he has at his stall, and they’re even better looking.”
He took the small bag from the girl next to him, unzipped it to reveal its contents.
"Would you like to take a look at our stuff?"
"Kid, what do you mean by this!"
The stall owner, who was negotiating the price with Xiaolongzhan, immediately became furious.
How dare you cut off his path to wealth right in front of him!
No, this is his path to survival!!
Zhao Jiwei glanced at the stall owner, his expression unchanged, and said, "It's all about skill."
After saying that, he emptied everything out of his bag.
A large pile of odds and ends fell to the ground.
Besides a few pieces of jewelry, there were also perfume samples, cell phones, watches, and other items...
Xiao Longzhan glanced down at it and lost interest.
"Your stuff isn't pretty, I don't like it."
Xiao Longzhan took out four compressed biscuits from his schoolbag and handed them to the stall owner.
This was the price he had just agreed upon with the stall owner: a compressed biscuit in exchange for a piece of gold jewelry, with the necklace being a free gift.
The stall owner happily accepted the compressed biscuits and gave Zhao Jiwei a smug look.
"Some people keep saying that everyone has to rely on their own abilities, acting like they're incredibly capable, but in reality, they have absolutely no skills. Hahahaha!"
The stall owner mocked Zhao Jiwei for a while, then carefully put away the compressed biscuits.
Soak a compressed biscuit in water, and you have a decent meal.
He had already earned enough for four meals since he started his stall.
Thinking of this, the stall owner's smile grew even brighter, making Zhao Jiwei grit his teeth and clench his fists.
The stall owner wasn't afraid of him. He snorted and continued to hawk his wares, calling out to other customers.
"Sister, this necklace is for you!"
Xiao Longzhan ran to Jiang Nian'an's side, tugged at her clothes, and gestured for her to squat down.
Jiang Nian'an readily knelt down and let Xiao Longzhan put the necklace on her.
"It's so beautiful!" Xiao Longzhan praised from the bottom of his heart.
"It's because Xiao Zhanzhan has good taste."
Jiang Nian'an smiled and pinched Xiao Longzhan's chubby cheeks, then pulled him to Shen Nanxing's side.
Not far away, Tian Yuan was leading his base team on patrol in the market when he suddenly spotted Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing.
He waved to the dozen or so base team members behind him, "You guys continue your patrol!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The base team members continued their patrols along the designated routes.
Tian Yuan quickly walked up to Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing, greeting them with a smile, "You two are here to browse the market too!"
Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an had noticed him while they were talking in Tian Yuan, and when they heard his words, they nodded.
The two men were rather indifferent, but Tian Yuan didn't care. He pointed to the depths of the base square and became enthusiastic.
"Go inside, to the very center, where the base has its own stalls selling good stuff."
"Oh?" Shen Nanxing's eyes flickered slightly. "What good stuff do you have?"
"There are medicines, level-two crystal cores, frozen fruit and frozen meat, and some other things. You'll see when you go take a look."
Oh, right!
Tian Yuan suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead.
"There is a fee for setting up a stall in the base, which is half a kilogram of rice per person, but it shouldn't be a problem for you."
"The base's operations?"
Jiang Nian'an lowered her eyes, a look of surprise flashing in them.
In the previous life, the base square only had stalls set up by the survivors themselves; the base itself never set up stalls.
She couldn't help but become very interested. "Brother Chen, let's go inside and take a look!"
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.” Shen Nanxing had no objections.
"Then I won't take up any more of your time." Tian Yuan smiled and prepared to leave.
This morning at breakfast, his teammate, who was in charge of registering survivors' accommodations last night, told him that the two people who rescued him had moved into the villa area.
It is evident that the two are not only strong, but also have abundant supplies.
Their base likes people like that.
"Wait a minute," Shen Nanxing called out to Tian Yuan, "Can I just give you the mission directly?"
Tian Yuan paused, then nodded.
We need to find someone.
The man was 1.7 meters tall, with a strong build, a five-centimeter-long scar on his right cheek, and a mole at the corner of his left eye.
The reward for providing information is 30 jin of rice.
The reward for whoever can lead us directly to him is 100 catties of rice.
The reward for anyone who can bring his body to us is two hundred catties of rice!
There are no restrictions on who can perform the task; anyone can accept it.
Shen Nanxing's voice wasn't low; everyone within a five-meter radius heard it.
They were all visibly shocked.
What a grand gesture! What deep-seated grudge must they have held for this?
"A...corpse?"
Tian Yuan swallowed hard; this was practically a kill order...
"I can accept the task and then post it to the task location, but the last point cannot be written in the task details."
"Can."
Shen Nanxing nodded indifferently. In any case, he had already made his statement, and someone would naturally spread it for him.
"We are at Villa No. 1 in Area A. If you have any leads, you can come to us directly. You have one week to contact us."
Shen Nanxing continued.
As soon as he finished speaking, many people around him hurriedly packed up their belongings and left the market.
Tian Yuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything more. He turned and left with the task that Shen Nanxing had just placed.
