Chapter 102 Sunset City



The two sisters almost dropped their jaws when they saw the ground suddenly come alive.

There are also wood-type mutants in Sunset City. Those with low levels will run out of energy after growing two small heads of rapeseed, while those with high levels can grow more than twenty large heads of cabbage.

It’s not that exaggerated!

What level is Sister Yue’s ability?

So powerful!

The two sisters ran over excitedly and saw Yin Xinyue pulling up two grasses by the roots. Their roots were connected, so they were actually one plant.

Yin Xinyue shook off the dirt on the roots and asked, "Do you want to live or die?"

The foxtail grass trembled slightly.

Yin Xinyue chuckled and said, "Tell me, what are your abilities?"

The two grass stems shook twice, and Yin Xinyue input some energy into them, restoring them to their original appearance, and their level was raised to the middle stage of the fourth level.

She handed it to the two sisters and said, "This is for you. This dogtail grass can not only be used to walk underground and gather information, but can also be split and used to deliver messages.

Although its thorns are not fatal, if you are stung by them, your entire body will itch unbearably, including mutant animals." After saying this, he looked at the leopard that had quietly followed him.

Leopard sensed the threat in Yin Xinyue's words, his eyes dimmed, and he no longer had any expectations in his heart.

The two sisters now understood Yin Xinyue's intention of giving them the dogtail grass. They looked at Yin Xinyue with gratitude and said to the leopard, "We sincerely invite you to join us. From now on, we are a family."

The leopard nodded, leaned down, and motioned for the two to ride on its back.

The two of them sat down and waved to Yin Xinyue, "Sister Yue, come quickly, let's go home."

Yin Xinyue sat on Tuanzi's back. Since the leopard was just a power-type mutant beast, its speed was not particularly fast. After an hour, they arrived at Sunset City.

Before the end of the world, this area was a newly developed villa complex.

The father of the Zhong sisters, Zhong Yang, is the developer here. The apocalypse broke out just as he finished building the building.

Zhong Yang has the dual abilities of earth and gold. He took his men to seize this place and made it his base camp.

According to Zhong Yang's plan, even if the end of the world ends, he will have the final say on the right to use this land, which means he is the king of the mountain.

I heard all this from the Zhong sisters.

When seeing hundreds of villas within the thick high walls, Yin Xinyue had to say that she felt jealous and a little envious, but only as big as a sesame seed.

Being a city lord is so impressive!

Equivalent to a mountain king or a local tyrant!

Then I thought about the endless matters, big and small, that I had to deal with, and taking care of so many people's eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping, and I couldn't go anywhere.

You also have to deal with various interpersonal relationships, and people who cannot move have to use all their brains to play tricks and haggle back and forth. Yin Xinyue shuddered and shook her head.

Too tiring and too scary!

Isn’t that the emperor in ancient times living in the deep palace?

I’m not even a dog’s fit to be the emperor!

If I were to become the city lord, it might be fine for a day or two, but after a long time, I'm afraid I would be labeled a tyrant.

Mountain kings and local tyrants are not as important as freedom.

The gatekeeper became alert when he saw the two mutant beasts rushing over. When he saw that the person sitting on the leopard was the city lord's daughter, he breathed a sigh of relief and let them pass immediately, but stopped Yin Xinyue.

"It's okay, this is our savior." Zhong Qing explained.

With the city lord's huge guarantee, the guard opened the gate and let them in.

To be on the safe side, he picked up the intercom and said, "City Lord, the two young ladies are back. They brought back a mutant beast and their savior."

Mutated beasts in the city can move around, but they cannot run, and they must be accompanied by their owners, otherwise they will be caught.

The residents in the city had peaceful faces, were neatly dressed, and lived in good order. There were no fights and the city looked peaceful.

From the surface, everyone seems to be living a good life and Zhong Yang has good management skills.

When they arrived at the largest villa, a short and thin middle-aged man was standing in front of the gate. He had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were very similar to those of the Zhong sisters.

Seeing that the two sisters were safe and sound, he was happy at first, then he looked at the girl next to them, thinking that this must be his daughter's savior!

He walked quickly forward and looked the two sisters over. Seeing that they didn't seem to be injured, he felt relieved.

Then he said to Yin Xinyue, "Thank you for saving my daughter. Please come in."

Yin Xinyue was not surprised that Zhong Yang got the news so quickly. She had just seen the intercom in the guard's hand and guessed the answer.

"You are too polite, Lord Zhong."

Zhong Qing continued, "Dad, if it weren't for Sister Yue, we wouldn't be able to come back. You must repay her well."

Zhong Ling agreed: "That's right, Dad, is there anything to eat? Let's go in quickly, we are all hungry."

Zhong Yang hurriedly said, "Okay, okay! There's food, come in and sit down."

After entering the living room and sitting down, Zhong Yang brought up some nuts, canned food, and dried fruits and vegetables, and also brought hot water and poured it into the teacup.

Yin Xinyue took the drink with both hands, thanked him, and put it on the coffee table without drinking it.

The Zhong sisters were probably really hungry, so they stuffed a can of food into Yin Xinyue's hand and started eating.

Zhong Yang was afraid that his daughter would choke if she ate too quickly. "Don't worry, eat something first to fill your stomach. I've asked someone to prepare food."

Then he said to Yin Xinyue, "Miss Yue, you should eat something too."

Yin Xinyue smiled and said, "My name is Yin Xinyue, and I'm not hungry yet."

She had a good impression of Zhong Yang. As the lord of a city, he was not arrogant and looked down on others. Instead, he was humble and polite, with a shrewd look in his eyes.

Of course, this is just the surface. As for the inside, we don’t know because we have been together for too short a time.

However, the world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit.

As long as the person's character is not too bad, we can cooperate.

Zhong Yang took a wooden box, opened it, and handed it to Yin Xinyue, "Ms. Yin, thank you again for saving my daughter. These are three thousand fifth-level crystal cores. Your life-saving grace is greater than heaven, but my ability is limited. Please don't despise me, Miss Yin."

Yin Xinyue took it and said with a smile, "If you don't mind, then thank you, City Lord Zhong."

Although it is just a polite remark, it is not a small amount. No matter how great the life-saving favor is, it is not necessary to make others spend all their fortune to repay the favor. Maybe there will be cooperation in the future!

Zhong Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yin Xinyue taking the box. He was afraid that the other party would ask for too much, and he didn't want to offend her since she was his daughter's savior.

He had made his plans. If Yin Xinyue was not satisfied, he would add another box of dried vegetables, nuts and other foods. This was his limit.

He has to support a whole city of people and he doesn't have much money.

There are eight dishes for dinner, most of which are dried vegetables, such as mushrooms, black fungus, white fungus, bean curd sticks, kelp shreds, and vermicelli that are soaked and cooked.

There was a plate of green shredded chicken and rapeseed and a pot of sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli, and the staple food was rice.

It seems that there is a shortage of fresh fruits and vegetables everywhere!

After the meal, the Zhong sisters told Yin Xinyue that this was the second time they had such a sumptuous dinner since the apocalypse, the first time being last year’s Chinese New Year.

Not only that, last winter was very cold and not every household could afford electricity for heating. Some people went out to look for mutant plants to kill, not for crystal cores, but for firewood.
