As soon as Luo Yue stepped into the container area, she felt an uncomfortable sense of suffocation.
The crowd was dense, with survivors jostling shoulder to shoulder.
If it weren't for Chen Yang and Da Huo protecting her on either side, she would have been unable to move an inch.
Also be aware of litter and unidentified excrement on the road.
An indescribable stench filled the air, making her feel nauseous and suffocated.
Luo Yue regretted coming in.
"Yueyue, come up here!"
Chen Yang noticed her discomfort, stopped in place, assumed a horse stance, patted his shoulder, and let Luo Yue sit down.
Normally, Luo Yue would definitely be too embarrassed to sit there in front of so many people.
But at this moment, she couldn't care less about anything else. She quickly hugged Chen Yang's head and sat on his shoulder.
Chen Yang stood up, supporting her with one hand and pushing through the crowd with the other to squeeze inside.
"I'll take you to the market in the container area, and then we'll go home."
"good!"
She was sitting high up, so no one could bump into her, and she wasn't afraid of stepping on the messy things on the ground.
Luo Yue swung her legs slightly, her mood noticeably improving.
The fire grunted in response, but its eyes darted around, constantly scanning the containers on both sides and the survivors coming and going.
It took them more than half an hour of squeezing through the crowds before they finally arrived at the market entrance in the container area.
The number of people here has decreased significantly.
The oppressive and suffocating feeling of crowding disappeared, as if one had suddenly stepped from a bustling city into a quiet alley.
Not only that, the ground beneath my feet has become much cleaner and tidier, and I no longer feel the awkwardness of not having anywhere to put my feet down.
"Chen Yang, I want to get off!"
Luo Yue patted Chen Yang's arm, and Chen Yang put her down.
Armed soldiers guarded both sides of the entrance.
When she saw Chen Yang and Luo Yue, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Is there any instruction from above?"
The squad leader came over and politely inquired about Chen Yang and his companion.
“No,” Luo Yue quickly waved her hand, “we just wanted to come in and take a look.”
"I see. Then I won't bother you any longer."
The squad leader stepped back a few paces to make way for them.
Chen Yang nodded politely to him, and then led Luo Yue and Da Huo into the market.
The market layout in the container area is the same as that in the Beijing base, only it is more than ten times smaller.
Fortunately, though small, it has everything it needs and sells a wide variety of products.
Luo Yue grabbed Chen Yang's hand and led the fire towards a stall displaying a lot of jewelry.
There was no one in front of the stall, and the stall owner sat listlessly behind the stall, looking distressed.
"Boss, how much is this necklace?"
Luo Yue picked up a warm green cat's eye necklace and asked the shopkeeper about it.
When the shop owner suddenly heard someone asking about the price, he thought he was hallucinating because he was so eager to sell the goods.
It wasn't until Luo Yue asked again that he realized what was happening. He quickly jumped up and excitedly told Luo Yue, "Just give me whatever you think is appropriate!"
His kind of stall is the least popular in the apocalypse; he's lucky if he can even sell anything.
Even if he could only exchange it for a level one crystal core, that would be enough to give him something to eat.
Luo Yue nodded and then looked at the other jewelry.
There are many styles available, including necklaces, rings, bracelets, and hair clips.
Moreover, each one is exquisite and would have been a valuable item before the apocalypse.
"I'll take all of these, but can I have five level-three crystal cores?"
"Five, five, five, five level 33333 crystal cores??"
The boss was trembling all over, unable to contain his excitement.
Luo Yue pursed her lips. "Isn't that enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough, I'll install it for you right away!"
It's not just enough, it's way too much!
Five level-three crystal cores are enough for him to live frugally for more than half a month!
The shop owner quickly picked up the jewelry box in the corner of the stall and hurriedly put the jewelry pieces on the stall into it one by one.
Then he pushed the jewelry box in front of Luo Yue, as if afraid she would change her mind.
Luo Yue picked up the jewelry box, and Chen Yang skillfully took out five level-three crystal cores and handed them to the shopkeeper.
These things are actually not worth the price at all.
But his daughter Yueyue likes it, and they don't lack crystal cores.
The shop owner quickly took it, then abandoned his stall and ran off with the crystal core in his hand.
He needed to hurry to the Beijing base to exchange the crystal cores for supplies to prevent them from being stolen.
Then rent a small basement.
Once I've used up all the crystals, I'll come back and live in this free shipping container.
Other stall owners noticed Luo Yue's generosity and immediately started to have ideas.
However, hawking was not allowed at the market in the container area, so they could only keep inviting Luo Yue with their eyes.
Luo Yue ignored it.
"Big Brother Huo, do you see anything you like?"
She shoved the jewelry box into Chen Yang's hand and turned to ask Da Huo.
Just as Da Huo was about to answer, he suddenly sensed an unusual aura.
"Um?"
It suddenly looked up and gazed at a corner of the market, concentrating intently to perceive its surroundings.
That's right, it's the scent of our kind.
Besides him, there are other zombies here!
Something's not right there!
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire rushed towards a corner of the market.
"Hey? Big Fire Bro, where are you going!"
Luo Yue quickly followed, with Chen Yang close behind her.
