Chapter 59 "Brother Sae is my safe zone."
In addition to some official shops, there are also many people with special abilities and ordinary people setting up stalls in the trading area of City C.
They would take out the items they didn't need and exchange them for some necessary supplies.
The former generally accept crystal transactions, while the latter mostly just want food. Their needs are different.
The items they sell are also varied, not necessarily necessary things, but may also be decorations or to meet personal needs.
For example, jewelry, cosmetics, cigarettes and alcohol seem to be useless at this time and not conducive to survival, but there are still some people who are not short of supplies and will trade them.
At the stall in front, there was a man picking out jewelry for the woman next to him. People like him were most likely powerful psychics.
When Lin Mian turned around to look around, he saw a stall selling family planning products, and he immediately looked away.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he met Jiang Jie's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said, "We seem to need that."
"No, we don't need it." Lin Mian spoke immediately, looked at the bustling environment, and whispered in his ear: "There are still many in the space."
When they usually go to shopping malls and supermarkets, they usually pick up some of these things.
Jiang Jie was just teasing him, so he smiled and said nothing more.
The two continued walking forward and saw a place selling cold weapons. The stall owner was a man with a scar on his face, most likely a person with superpowers.
The stall had quite a wide range of items, including short daggers, long daggers, machetes, butterfly knives, and so on. I had no idea where they came from.
In the past, these were considered controlled knives, but now there are no such regulations. Even wooden weapons can be carried around, but it seems that they are not sold openly at present.
Jiang Jie felt a little sorry, as he wanted to buy the little rabbit a better one, and there were not many bullets left.
They also passed some police stations on the way, but were unable to find these things inside. Perhaps they had been collected by official personnel before the chaos broke out.
After all, not everyone has superpowers nowadays, and thermal weapons are still very important to the authorities.
As they walked along, they really didn't see anything they particularly needed, but Lin Mian felt that some things in the space could be taken out and displayed to exchange for some supplies.
But he saw that the supplies that someone had just taken out for exchange were also ordinary, some of which were common compressed biscuits and instant noodles. Few people were willing to exchange for sausages, after all, they had a bit of meaty taste.
Now that there are no manufacturers producing them, these things will only become more and more precious in the future. Even instant noodles may become rare.
Jiang Jie remembers that in the later period, some official safety zones also began to try to rebuild food factories to produce these easy-to-store foods.
However, the premise of all this still requires a certain amount of fresh food support. Due to the alienated substances, the output is always scarce, so it is still impossible to produce in large quantities.
Then, they seemed to begin developing some nutrient solutions that could replace food to ensure human survival needs.
However, this research was not yet fully mature when Jiang Jie died, and he had no idea what would happen next.
With a "thump", while they were thinking about it, someone fell in front of them.
Lin Mian subconsciously took a step back. When he looked more closely, he found that it was a little girl who was not very old. She was dirty, her clothes were torn, and she was very thin.
It looked so pitiful that he bent down and tried to help the man up from the ground.
Jiang Jie reached out and grabbed him, looking coldly at a street intersection nearby. There was a person in a hidden corner, watching this side.
Lin Mian, who was stopped, looked up in confusion. Although he didn't know why, he still stood up straight and didn't touch the little girl.
Most people who passed by them just looked at them indifferently and didn't bother to interfere.
The girl seemed to have no strength left. She lay on the ground and raised her face. Her thin cheeks were sunken. "Brother, save me..."
Looking at her with wet eyes, it was impossible for Lin Mian to say that he had no sympathy, but at the same time, he trusted the man beside him more and believed that he must have his reasons for stopping him, so he looked away and didn't look again.
Jiang Jie withdrew his gaze from the distant street corner and pulled Lin Mian's wrist, "Let's go."
He pulled the man around the little girl and left.
After being pulled away for a distance, Lin Mian looked back and saw from a distance a hunched man running from the street corner. He roughly pulled the girl up from the ground, cursing at her.
He now understood that if they had helped the little girl just now, this person might have had a reason to jump out and blackmail them.
At worst, as long as they were soft-hearted and gave the girl something to eat, the other party would not have gained nothing. For him, it would be like getting something for nothing.
"Want to help her?" Seeing that he kept turning his head to look behind him, Jiang Jie asked.
Hearing this, Lin Mian retracted his gaze and said with lowered eyes, "We can't help her."
Unless they take the person away, even if they help him this time, there will be another time, and if it's not this man, there will be another person.
And they can't take people away, so they can't help.
In this environment, the most correct thing to do is to stand by and watch, and the quality of being helpful is no longer applicable.
He sighed, "The safe zone may be, but it's not a safe zone for everyone."
Jiang Yan heard this but said nothing.
Nothing is perfect. In such a big place, there are always some corners where filth and dirt are hidden. In order to survive, human nature is even worse than before.
These are unavoidable, and the safe zones can only try their best to ensure human survival, and they cannot take care of more.
What's more, as time goes on, the struggles among the top leaders will gradually emerge, and more dark sides will be revealed.
Lin Mian raised his eyes and suddenly smiled when he looked at him, "But, Brother Ji is my safe zone."
Jiang Yan's eyebrows slightly raised when he heard this. He lowered the hand holding his wrist, held his hand, and squeezed it gently. "That's right, I've got you covered. You're safe."
Lin Mian narrowed his eyes and shook his hand back. In this kind of world, it was enough to ensure the survival of himself and his companions. He shouldn't care too much about other things.
Maybe this idea is selfish, but who in the world is not selfish?
His mood didn't seem to be affected too much by the little girl. Jiang Jie reached out and pinched his soft earlobe.
His little rabbit is actually very strong mentally.
Suddenly, Jiang Jie's eyes darkened, and he pulled Lin Mian towards him, and the other party staggered into his arms.
The person who was about to hit him missed and almost fell to the ground. After he managed to stand firm, he patted his chest and turned around to curse, "You fucking bastards..."
He swallowed the rest of his words unconsciously at Jiang Jie's cold gaze, muttered "Who is that?" in a low voice, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop." Jiang Jie said coldly.
"What? You're causing trouble even though I didn't bump into you?!" The man turned around impatiently.
Lin Mian stretched out his hand towards him and said, "Give me back my things."
Although this person didn't hit him, he took away the wooden gun that he had pinned on his waist when he passed by him. His hand speed was quite fast.
His eyesight was pretty good, his wooden chest was clearly covered by his shirt, but I don't know how he saw it.
If it were an ordinary person, he might have succeeded, but unfortunately, both of them were psychics with sharp senses. He could catch them by playing some tricks around them.
"No, why are you guys still blackmailing me? I haven't even met him!"
The other party's psychological quality was quite good. Even after being exposed, he did not show any guilty expression, and instead turned the tables and blamed them.
Jiang Jie didn't bother to waste time talking to him. "Either hand it over yourself, or I'll take it myself."
The man swallowed hard under his aura, but still stood straight. "No, that's it. You can search for it yourself. If you can't find it, you have to give me an explanation."
He took his backpack from his back and handed it to them.
Jiang Jie lowered his eyes and took a look without taking it. Since he could be so confident, the thing was probably not in it.
His eyes fell on the other person, scanning from head to toe.
The man immediately withdrew his hands and hugged the backpack to his chest like a girl who was molested. "What are you doing?!"
Jiang Jie turned his face away in disgust and looked at the little rabbit that saved his eyes.
Then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the water rushed out quickly, directly strangling the man's neck.
"Fuck fuck fuck, they're killing people in the street! Private fights between people with special abilities are prohibited in the safe zone!!" The man was a little panicked as his neck was tied up. He raised his hands to pull the water away, but his wrists were tied up by another pair of ties.
"Ah! It hurts!" The tightening water flow almost pinched his bones, and he cried out in pain.
Passersby looked sideways because of the hustle and bustle here, but they just watched from a distance and no one came forward.
Jiang Yan raised his hand to rub his ears that were disturbed by his noisy voice, moved his hand to block his mouth, and then divided the water into two streams to search the man again.
There was indeed no wooden warehouse, Jiang Jie's expression paused slightly.
Seeing this, Lin Mian stepped forward and picked up the backpack that the man had dropped on the ground when his hands were tied. He opened it and looked through it, but there was nothing inside.
He turned and met the man's gaze, looking at the restrained people.
Seeing that they didn't find anything, the other party immediately glared back at them with confidence.
Lin Mian stared at him for two seconds and said, "Spatial ability?"
The other person's eyes instantly revealed a bit of panic, and he turned his eyes away to avoid his sight.
It seems that my guess was correct. No wonder I was so confident that they couldn't find it.
Lin Mian looked at him with a bit of curiosity. This was the first time he had seen a person with spatial abilities other than himself. It was quite new.
Jiang Jie also stepped forward, and at the same time, the water that blocked the other person's mouth was removed.
The man let out a long sigh and immediately said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're wrongly accusing someone and you think you're justified. You're blackmailing them! Someone come and give us some advice!"
He started shouting, but unfortunately no one around cared about such trivial matters.
Jiang Yan raised his arms and folded them across his chest, smiling at him, "Since you're so dishonest, then kill you."
The man's eyes widened and he gasped, "A person with special abilities who kills people in a safe zone will be punished!"
"Oh, so what?" Jiang Jie was fearless. "I'm only here temporarily anyway. At worst, I can kill you and leave. The rules of the safe zone can't restrict me."
"How could you…"
Jiang Yan smiled and raised his hand. Water spikes gathered around him and aimed at the man's eyebrows. "Goodbye."
"etc……"
"Good man! Spare his life!"
The man stammered but couldn't utter a word when another voice came from afar.
The three people here turned their heads and looked over at the same time.
